Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 344: Chapter 67: Reversal! Counterattack_4

Manager Huang had turned as pale as a sheet.

Even within the Huangfu Clan, the affairs of the Yinsha Sect were classified, known to a select few. As for the matters related to the gambling den, it was all directly handled by him and not even his maid knew about it.

Except…

Seemingly out of nowhere, his heart began to pound, and he turned to look behind, but he no longer saw the figure of Ding Youde.

“Those who understand the times are the true elites. Manager Huang, sorry~”

Ding Youde, who didn’t know when, had already stolen to the side of Wang Dingzu, bowing and scraping respectfully, flattering him without end.

“Ding Youde, you dare?!” Manager Huang trembled all over with anger, “Don’t forget, your mother and son are still in our hands!”

The matter of Yinsha Sect was of great importance. If he didn’t have Ding Youde’s weak spot in his hands, how could he dare to let him handle it?

However, no matter how cautious Manager Huang was, he would never have expected that a few months ago, Wang Shouzhe had already investigated Ding Youde’s background and secretly protected his mother and son.

With this, wasn’t Ding Youde forced to comply?

Although Manager Huang had cultivation at the Spirit Platform Realm, he couldn’t pose a threat in the face of hundreds of surrounded Patrol troops, let alone that Wang Dingzu’s cultivation was not weaker than his.

Wang Dingzu disregarded the entanglement between Ding Youde and Manager Huang, swept a cold look over the troops: “Why are you still standing there? Search!”

“Yes, Sir!”

The patrolling soldiers responded in unison, pouring into various rooms in the gambling house, starting their professional search.

Seeing this, Ding Youde hurriedly tried to curry favor with Wang Dingzu, “Sir, I know which room Huang Huai’an hid the books in. I’ll take you there.”

Hearing this, Manager Huang fumed until his vision darkened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. This damned traitor really sold him out all the way.

…

Time was flying by~

This evening banquet held by Boss Huaye had passed several hours unnoticed.

The closer it got to the end, the more restless Huangfu Jinghuan appeared to be, continuously looking outside as if waiting for something.

Finally, he leaned over to Boss Huaye and whispered a few words into his ear.

Boss Huaye frowned and pondered for a moment before getting up and saying, “I thank you all for coming to the banquet. I have lived for nearly three hundred years. In this life, I hope that we, the prominent families of Changning Guard’s, must unite and create a promising future. Our Huangfu Clan, being a Heavenly Human Family, will certainly do our best as the front runner in cooperation with other prominent families to seek development together.”

“The Ancestor is right.” Huangfu Deyun and others voiced their agreement in unison.

Meanwhile, Fang Youan and Lord City Master Xiahou Hongde exchanged a look, both comprehending Boss Huaye’s intentions. They both stood up and exchanged polite remarks with Boss Huaye.

Whether it was Fang Youan or Xiahou Hongde, neither were locals of Changning Guard’s, there was no point contradicting Boss Huaye on this matter.

On the other hand, Wang Shouzhe and Xu Anbang exchanged significant looks.

Boss Huaye’s statement seems too extravagant. Forget the fact that he hasn’t reached the Mid-Stage of the Heavenly Human Realm yet. Even if he had, who would recognize him as the front runner? Such a demeanor, where do the Lei Clan and other families stand?

As expected.

Lei Yangyu, the patriarch of the Lei Clan who had graced the event, furrowed his brows. Despite his low profile, he didn’t intend to escalate his conflict with the Huangfu Clan.

However, just as the banquet was about to end, Boss Huaye nebulously put the Huangfu Clan on such a high pedestal. If no one rebuts it now, everyone would think that Changning Guard’s is ruled by the Heavenly Human Huangfu Family, completely disregarding Lei Clan’s position.

Immediately, Lei Yangyu from the Lei Clan stood up and cheerfully said, “Boss Huaye, Changning Guard’s has been established for 500 years, and the families always mind their own business. Today, do you mean to share the ranch business of your Clan to all of us?”

Boss Huaye’s eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of unhappiness, but he ultimately kept in mind that Lei Yangyu was a junior.

At this moment, Huangfu Jinghuan stepped forward and said, “Lei brother’s words are presumptuous, the Ancestor means it isn’t right for our Changning Guard’s to remain disunited like before. If the Lei Clan is willing to step up and take on this responsibility, we surely welcome it.”

Lei Yangyu sneered, shook his head, and said, “No thanks. Our Lei Clan has always been focused on taking care of our own clan. We wouldn’t want to be bossed around. If your clan really wants to lead the others, promote to Rank Six Prominent Family first.”

Without waiting for a response, Lei Yangyu bowed and said, “Gentlemen, an important matter awaits me. I will take my leave first.”

His statement incited many others to rise and bid farewell.

This scene provoked a sharp look in Huangfu Jinghuan’s eyes.

But at this moment, something unexpected happens.

A commotion of house servant’s noise came from outside. This was Huangfu Clan, how dare they barge in at will?

Along with some fierce shouts, “Everyone, move aside! Or, you will be arrested for colluding with the treacherous Yinsha Sect to rebel against Da Qian.”

Huangfu Jinghuan’s face changed, and he shouted in anger, “Who dares to make a riot outside?”

No sooner did his words drop, than a troop of soldiers in full armor crashed in, encircling the Hall.

Then, a stern-looking general entered.

As soon as he entered, he loudly declared, “The Changning Guard’s Third Patrol Battalion is here to arrest those who collude with the Yinsha Sect and rebel against Da Qian, the previous Ma Huangfu’s Family and others involved. Anyone who dares to harbor them, or obstructs our execution of duty, will be prosecuted as accomplices.”

Zhou Zhenwu!

This man was Zhou Zhenwu, who had rushed back from Jinsha with his army at the fastest speed.

Today’s achievement is so great, how could he miss it?
