Chapter 718: Chapter 714: Seeing Angel Again

Meanwhile, in the study of Huang’s Villa at Shallow Bay.

Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde were sitting on the sofa, the entire study filled with curling wisps of smoke, the atmosphere tense and heavy. This had been the case for some time, ever since they learned that Lu Tianxing had gone with Rose to see Zhao Long, an oppressive mood had settled over the study.

After a long while, Huang Zhengde took a sip of the now-cool tea beside him and slowly began to speak, ”Yuanzheng, what is your opinion on this matter? Do you know why Huangfu Meigui wants to meet with Zhao Long?”

”I’m not sure, I have never had contact with Huangfu Meigui, but I have heard of her. If Huangfu Meigui lived in ancient times, she would definitely be a female tyrant to rival Wu Zetian. However...”

At this point, Huang Yuanzheng paused, then continued, ”Nevertheless, I suspect Huangfu Meigui’s purpose in finding Zhao Long is not to obliterate the Zhao Family entirely. It’s highly likely she wants to use Zhao Long to suppress the Zhao Family’s power, thereby recruiting them to her side.”

”Why do you think so?” Huang Zhengde asked in an unchanged tone, with a serious expression.

”Judgment.”

Huang Yuanzheng continued, ”Father, you once told me about the nature of Yama Palace. They want to become the hidden force behind the scenes, seemingly without any power, but in reality with tremendous influence. If they were to recruit Zhao Long and gather the Zhao Family’s forces, Yama Palace’s power in Xiangjiang would surely rise again. Then, whether it be against Xiangjiang or against our Huang Family, it would be easy for them.”

As Huang Yuanzheng spoke, Huang Zhengde frowned, just as he was about to speak, his words were cut off by a ringtone from a cellphone.

Glancing at the caller ID on his phone, Huang Yuanzheng answered the call. A low, slightly hoarse voice came through, ”Master, the investigation is clear...”

”Good, I understand the situation now.”

A minute later, Huang Yuanzheng ended the call and looked at Huang Zhengde, ”I’ve just received news. Zhao Quan is dead, Zhuge Ling is also dead. Almost the entire Zhao Quan’s line has been wiped out, only a few small mice are left, unable to stir up any trouble. Moreover, Zhao Long was able to swiftly eliminate Zhao Quan’s line entirely because Lu Tianxing and Huangfu Meigui took action. It seems that Huangfu Meigui and Zhao Long reached some agreement, and that’s why they intervened.”

”Dad, what should we do next? If Zhao Long joins Yama Palace, it would be like Yama Palace has positioned a knife in Xiangjiang, ready to strike and eliminate enemies at any moment, threatening us constantly. Should we act first, eliminate Zhao Long in secret and leave the Zhao Family without a leader?”

As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in Huang Yuanzheng’s eyes. To stand firm one must be ruthless, and being ruthless was essential for the Huang Family to become one of the major families in Xiangjiang.

Hearing his son’s words, Huang Zhengde did not respond immediately, just silently smoked for quite some time before slowly beginning to speak, ”There’s no need to act for now. According to what Lu Tianxing said, Huangfu Meigui is an important figure in Yama Palace. She has been in Xiangjiang for many days now, and it’s time we met her. Arrange a meeting for me tomorrow, I want to see Huangfu Meigui in person, to see if this woman is the legendary tyrant as rumored.”

...

The evenings in Xiangjiang were as lively and noisy as ever, neon lights shining like rainbows, illuminating the entire city. Tourists, intimidated by the scorching gaze of the day, took advantage of the cool of the night to walk the streets, admiring the brilliant and colorful sights of Xiangjiang and enjoying the pleasures of shopping.

In contrast to the leisurely comfort of ordinary people, those with power and influence in Xiangjiang felt a sense of foreboding, as if a storm was brewing, because they had heard a piece of news that was profoundly shocking.

Zhao Quan was dead, the entire lineage of Zhao Quan had been thoroughly eradicated by Zhao Long; not a single person survived, and the Zhao Family’s power had successfully fallen into Zhao Long’s hands. What was most horrifying, however, was that through bits and pieces of information that had leaked, it was revealed that Zhao Long wasn’t the true power holder of the Zhao Family. He was merely a spokesperson for another force. Behind Zhao Long stood a massive power, and the reason Zhao Long had been able to eliminate Zhao Quan and take over the Zhao Family’s influence was solely because someone from within this power had intervened.

As soon as this news was released, everyone fell silent with fear. Recently, Xiangjiang had been a hotbed of incidents. The Peng Family had been annihilated just a few days ago, and now even Zhao Quan was dead, with the Zhao Family’s power completely undergoing a change of hands.

Who on earth possessed such capability to extinguish the lineage of Zhao Quan in an instant, and also make all the senior officials of the Zhao Family submit? The strength of this force was chilling. At the same time, they could never find out the name of this mysterious force, how many people it consisted of, or any other details. Everyone who knew about this matter was keeping mum, sealed lips all around.

In the face of this, there was a pervasive sense of trepidation throughout Xiangjiang, as if unseen hands were tightening their grip on the city, suffocating everyone. Everyone was trying their best to restrain their subordinates and avoid causing trouble for the time being.

The night was as dark as ink, and a cool breeze brushed against the faces, dispelling the day’s scorching heat.

Lu Tianxing drove his Porsche SUV straight to the private club where he had attended the banquet.

Having just parked at the entrance, Lu Tianxing saw Angel’s secretary, Abby, standing at the door of the private club.

Upon seeing Lu Tianxing’s arrival, a smile appeared on Abby’s face, and she said respectfully, ”Mr. Lu, you’ve arrived. My boss has been waiting for you. Please follow me.”

”Alright, I know. Please lead the way, Lady Abby.”

Lu Tianxing nodded and followed Abby to the back of the private club.

Originally, Lu Tianxing had planned to spend the evening with Bai Zhiqing at the hotel, but Bai Zhiqing and Rose had been called by Cheng Bao to attend the celebration banquet of the security company’s partnership. Moreover, with Fu Tu arriving in Xiangjiang that afternoon, and Mike there to provide protection, he had not gone to the celebration but planned to get some rest at the hotel. However, before he could lie down, he was summoned by Angel, saying there was an important matter to discuss.

Abby led Lu Tianxing not upstairs to the private club, but directly to the rear.

Passing through the corridors, Abby took Lu Tianxing to a small private garden behind the club.

”Mr. Lu, my boss is inside. You can see her as soon as you enter.”

”No problem.”

Lu Tianxing nodded his head and walked in directly.

Although it was night, the entire private garden was brilliantly lit. In the center of the private garden was a small swimming pool, shimmering with ripples under the glow of the lights. Next to the pool was a lounge chair with a small table beside it, on which some chilled beverages were placed.

Angel, dressed in a white swimsuit, swam enjoyably in the pool. Her graceful figure and delicate face, illuminated by the light, looked like a beautiful mermaid.
