Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 721: Chapter 720: Qi Family of Wanhu

The Qi Family of Wanhu, located in Wanhu City, Jiangnan Province, just so happens to be right by the side of Wanhu Lake.

Wanhu Lake is the most famous tourist attraction in Wanhu City, with beautiful scenery that makes visitors linger and forget to return.

In such a beautiful spot, there is a section that is completely closed off, and within this closed area is where the Qi Family resides. This segment also happens to encompass the most beautiful scenery of Wanhu.

It can be said that the Qi Family has monopolized the most scenic part of Wanhu, with outsiders denied entry. The best views of Wanhu Lake are seen only by the Qi Family, invisible to others.

In the face of such a situation, no one dares to object.

The Qi Family of Wanhu, claiming to be the first family in the Southern Six Provinces, is absolutely not an exaggeration.

Not only is the Qi Family full of martial experts, but it is also flourishing on other levels. Whether in the political or business spheres, or any other aspect, they are far beyond comparison with other families.

An average member of the Qi Family, when they step out, must be greeted with great deference by the other bigwigs they encounter, which illustrates the power of the Wanhu Qi Family.

Just like Qi Yong’an before, who couldn’t really be considered part of the Qi Family anymore. But when he went out and gave his affiliation as the Qi Family of Wanhu, the Divine Farmer Sect still had to show respect, and that’s the power of the Qi Family.

In fact, the true Qi Family of Wanhu resides on Lake Heart Island, in the center of Wanhu Lake. The area outside Lake Heart Island can only be considered the Qi Family’s outer courtyard. Unlike the main compound, the rules of the outer courtyard are not so strict and it’s usually open for anyone to come and go as they please.

Within the outer courtyard, there is even a street extending for about a mile, lined with many shops, making it quite a nice pedestrian street.

At the end of the pedestrian street, there is a wharf, which is the real access point to the Qi Family of Wanhu. To visit the Qi Family, one must take a boat from here to Lake Heart Island, and only then do they truly enter the Qi Family of Wanhu.

Basically, the outer courtyard houses those of lower status within the Qi Family. Key members of the Qi Family mostly reside on Lake Heart Island.

In the morning, several cars drove to the entrance of the outer courtyard but couldn’t drive in. This was a rule of the Wanhu Qi Family: people may enter the outer courtyard, but cars, not.

About twenty or thirty individuals got out of the cars, divided into three groups, each group wearing a hostile look.

”Father, are we really going to demand an explanation from the Qi Family?” a man asked in a low voice to the elder beside him; seeing the Qi Family’s outer courtyard made him somewhat panicked.

”The Qi Family has gone too far, harming my grandson to such an extent. Even at the cost of this old life, I must seek justice!” the elder, leaning heavily on his walking stick, declared angrily.

”Elder Zhou is right, the Qi Family of Wanhu has indeed gone too far. It’s one thing to bully us on a regular basis, but this time they’ve crossed the line!” another elder from the second group shouted, ”In my younger days, I had quite a few dealings with the Qi Family, and they didn’t show an ounce of regard for past relationships. It’s one thing to swallow up my business empire, but they even broke my grandson’s leg, this is outright bullying!”

”But, this is the Qi Family of Wanhu...” a middle-aged man said tremblingly, and a few younger people nearby turned pale at the mention of the Qi Family of Wanhu.

”What about the Qi Family of Wanhu? I came here without any intention of leaving alive!” the elder with the stick declared angrily, ”Even if I die here, I want their blood to spill three feet high. If I can’t avenge my grandson, I will at least berate them here.”

”That’s right, we’ll give them a piece of our minds right here!”

”Since we’ve come, we’re not afraid of death! I just don’t believe it, after so many years of relations with the Qi Family, they would dare lay a hand on me!”

The two elders kept making a racket, evidently determined to have words with the Qi Family of Wanhu.

The third group remained silent, comprising largely of a number of people led by a rather frail-looking woman. In the presence of the other two groups, they seemed to be the underdogs.

A middle-aged man glanced at the group and suddenly said, ”You’re also here to demand an explanation from the Qi Family of Wanhu?”

The woman slowly nodded, her voice grave, ”My daughter was defiled by one of the Qi Family’s young masters while she was at school.”

”I see,” the middle-aged man nodded slowly, then sneered, ”But coming here to demand an explanation from the Qi Family probably won’t do you any good.”

”Why not?” the woman asked in surprise.

”You have to understand, to accuse those scions of the Qi Family, you first have to be able to get into the Qi Family,” the middle-aged man said. ”We’re only entering the Qi Family’s outer courtyard now, and it’s uncertain whether we can get onto Lake Heart Island. The people of the outer courtyard are also selective in their dealings. People like us, who have had dealings with the Qi Family in the past, will definitely have no trouble entering Lake Heart Island. If you have no ties with the Qi Family of Wanhu, you probably won’t even get past the outer courtyard.”

”Ah?” the woman was shocked, ”Then... what should I do? To seek justice, do you need to know someone?”

”Of course, if you have enough strength to defeat those of the outer courtyard, you can also get onto the island,” the middle-aged man glanced at the people around the woman with disdain, ”But can the people you brought defeat the skilled fighters of the outer courtyard?”

The woman had brought a group with her, but none of them were any good, just security guards she had hired from a company.

Even then, these guards didn’t know what they were supposed to do, nor did they understand anything about the Qi Family of Wanhu. How could such people fight with anyone from the Qi Family?

The woman was bewildered, having spent everything she had. Did she not even qualify to make a plea at their door?

No wonder the people of the Qi Family were so domineering outside; because it’s not easy for people to even get into the Qi Family of Wanhu!

The people around the woman did not understand the situation. The man leading them frowned and said, ”My friend, it seems there is some misunderstanding about us. Our company’s security personnel are not ordinary. They include skilled martial artists with years of training and soldiers who have tasted the blood of battlefields. There’s no grand scene they haven’t witnessed; what’s there to fear from a mere Qi Family outer courtyard?”

The middle-aged man sneered and shook his head, ”Frogs at the bottom of a well. Just wait until you come to the Qi Family of Wanhu, and I’ll watch as you get your legs broken and thrown out!”

The man wanted to say more, but at that moment, a young man casually strolled up from behind.

All eyes swept over the young man, and their expressions turned slightly hostile—they took him for one of the Qi Family.

The young man, however, was unconcerned. As he walked past the people, a man in the crowd suddenly exclaimed in surprise, ”Su Yang!?”

The young man who had arrived was indeed Su Yang.

And that man was one of the security members the woman had hired.
