Chapter 712: Chapter 708: Zhao Long Appears (3rd Update)

Every person who met Zhao Quan’s gaze instinctively lowered their heads; none spoke. They weren’t fools—they could tell from Zhao Quan’s words that he was resolutely determined to fight the Huang Family to the death. Moreover, they were well aware that there were no benefits to be had by falling out with Zhao Quan at that moment.

Seeing that those around him remained silent, a cold sneer flashed across Zhao Quan’s face. Should anyone dare to contradict him, he guaranteed they wouldn’t leave the meeting hall alive. It was time to consolidate the Zhao Family’s power and truly secure it in his hands.

Regarding these oblivious fools—

Zhao Quan’s sinister gaze swept over a few individuals who had opposed him in the past, relying on Zhao Long’s backing. A fierce murderous intent flashed through his eyes, the message clear without words.

”Zhao Quan, how arrogant you are to fall out with the Huang Family. I firmly disagree with this course of action.”

It was at that moment an aged voice came from outside.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads toward the door only to see an elder in his seventies pushing the door open and walking in. Although this elder was over seventy, he was well-preserved, with a ruddy complexion, appearing much like someone in their late fifties or sixties.

Despite the elder’s somewhat stooped figure, his spirit was remarkably strong, exuding an authoritative air. His eyes, twinkling with sharp lights, seemed to penetrate into one’s soul, exerting immense pressure and making it difficult to meet his gaze.

He was Zhao Long, Zhao Quan’s uncle, who had competed with Zhao Quan’s father for control of the Zhao Family.

”Uncle Long, you’ve finally arrived.”

”Greetings, Uncle Long.”

Seeing Zhao Long enter, those who had been bowing their heads instantly looked up. Nearly two-thirds of the people in the meeting room stood up, respectfully addressing him as Uncle Long,

indicating the great prestige Zhao Long commanded within the Zhao Family.

With a smile, Zhao Long walked into the living room, completely ignoring the murderous gaze from Zhao Quan’s side and took a seat directly opposite Zhao Quan.

”Zhao Long, what brings you here instead of resting at home?”

The sudden appearance of Zhao Long turned Zhao Quan’s expression sour. Without Zhao Long present, he was 100 percent confident in dealing with these duplicitous fellows, but unfortunately, what he feared most had eventually come to pass.

”What I’m doing here? I’m here simply because I don’t want to see the Zhao Family’s decades of foundation destroyed by your hands.”

Zhao Long slowly spoke, staring at Zhao Quan. ”Zhao Quan, you know better than I why the Huang Family suddenly targeted the Zhao Family’s power. Ultimately, it’s all because of your worthless son, who kidnapped a distinguished guest of the Huang Family. Despite the Huang Family’s warnings, you recklessly let your son harm their guest. Now your son is dead, yet you want all the Zhao Family’s forces to accompany your worthless son in death. Do you think you can annihilate the Huang Family? Let me tell you, the Huang Family is far more formidable than you imagine. They could destroy you in the blink of an eye.”

As he spoke, a hint of fear involuntarily surfaced in the depths of Zhao Long’s eyes.

He recalled the man and woman who had burst into his villa that morning, their terrifying strength. The security he had considered impregnable was almost a joke in their eyes. The man had merely released a bit of his aura, which caused the Martial Artist, whom he had hired for a hefty sum, to instantly lose the will to fight. If it weren’t for the fact that the intruders did not want to kill him but just invited him to join a force called Yama Palace, he would probably have become a corpse by now.

”Uncle Long, you just said that it was Zhao Lin who actively provoked the Huang Family, and you didn’t deceive us,” Zhao Long was barely finished speaking when one of the burly men spoke up.

Although the others did not speak, they pricked up their ears, waiting for Zhao Long’s reply. The information they had received was that the Huang Family had been excessively oppressive, merely because Zhao Lin and Huang Feiyu had a minor scuffle at a private club, and it was not due to Zhao Lin kidnapping an important guest of the Huang Family, which had provoked the fury of the Huang Family.

Seeing everyone’s gaze fixed on him, Zhao Long calmly said, ”I have no need to lie to you. Last night, Zhao Lin, together with Hei Ya, kidnapped a distinguished guest of the Huang Family. After Zhao Quan learned of this, he astonishingly turned a blind eye, allowing Zhao Lin to engage in wrongdoing. This provoked the ire of the Huang Family. Furthermore, Zhao Lin along with Hei Ya, including the bodyguards at Zhao Lin’s Causeway Bay villa, were all killed. If you don’t believe me, you can inquire about it when you go back. With your capabilities, finding out this piece of information should not be a problem.”

This revelation from Zhao Long struck like sudden thunder, causing many faces to change and anger to rise vehemently. It was clear that Zhao Quan had used them as pawns to accompany his son to death.

”Zhao Quan, I need an explanation. Why do we have to cover for the mistakes your son made?”

”Zhao Quan, you simply aren’t fit to hold the reins of the Zhao Family, step down immediately.”

”That’s right, Zhao Quan, you really don’t qualify to wield the power of the Zhao Family, we support Uncle Long.”

The entire meeting hall suddenly erupted into noise, with voices denouncing Zhao Quan overlapping one another.

Zhao Quan sat there with a gloomy face, his fingers tightly clutching the teacup, his face filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly, ”Enough, all of you shut up. Zhao Long, I respect you because you are my elder, and I have been tolerant toward you. Are you really planning to tear our faces apart?”

”I do not intend to tear our faces apart, but I do not wish to see the Zhao Family’s decades of foundation destroyed in your hands. Step down, and I can ensure you live as a wealthy man. Otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless,” Zhao Long said calmly.

”Hahaha, step down? Zhao Long, do you think I, Zhao Quan, am afraid of you?”

Zhao Quan burst out laughing, his face grim as he swept over the conference room, sneering as he spoke, ”Do you think I invited all of you here today to discuss matters? I’ll tell you, today I am consolidating the power of the Zhao Family. The Zhao Family does not need too many voices, just one voice is enough, and that voice is mine, Zhao Quan’s voice. Let me be honest with you, I have already arranged manpower outside, and if I wish, within a second, I can turn all of you into a beehive. If you don’t believe me, you can call out and see if the bodyguards you brought have any response?”

Upon hearing Zhao Quan’s words, everyone paused slightly, then they immediately shouted loudly towards the outside, but silence ensued, without any response.

This scene made everyone leaning towards Zhao Long’s side turn exceptionally grim. They realized that Zhao Long had planned this all along, using the Huang Family to invite them all here, then to ensnare them all in one go.
