Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1691: Chapter 1693: Fear

The fleeing crowd quickly conveyed the news back.

Amnesty Alliance.

This is the new organization formed by several family heads who decided to create their own factions.

”That woman is so arrogant!” Quan Family head Quan Rui slammed his fist on the table, his eyes concealed an uncontainable rage.

The conflict between the Quan Family and the Lu Family wasn’t a recent event; new grudges and old resentments surged together, making him furious!

”Is her arrogance because Lu Xiaobu left her with some last resort?” Qian Family head spoke up.

Upon hearing that familiar yet estranged name, the scene briefly fell into an eerie silence.

This made everyone feel helpless and pitiable.

Even though that person had been absent for three months, and most people thought he was dead.

However, every time they mentioned his name now, everyone still felt a bit terrified!

”Impossible! If that man really left her with a last resort, why would she keep avoiding our probes time and again?” Zhu Family head changed the term, easing the tense atmosphere somewhat.

”What if other families can cooperate with us, then we won’t have to worry about these things!” Fatty Sun sighed and said.

”Difficult!” Zhu Family head shook his head: ”The Lin Family is needless to say, Xue Lin from the Xue Family is Lu Xiaobu’s woman. Even if we let them join, can you believe it?”

”That traitor!” Quan Rui said through gritted teeth.

The Xue Family was almost entirely uplifted by the Quan Family, but now they treated the Quan Family like strangers, driving him furious every time he heard about the Xue Family.

Zhu Family head also ignored him, ”Besides these two families, the remaining ones are only the Zhang Family, Lu Family, and Duanmu Family!”

”We’ve yet to figure out the mysteries of the Duanmu Family, I’ve sent people to approach them, their attitude is unclear.” Fatty Sun shook his head.

”What about the Lu Family? What’s that smiling tiger Lu Kongshen up to?! Rather trust two kids who have been missing for three months than us?!” Quan Rui frowned and said.

”Perhaps he knows something. However, I’ve heard internal struggles within the Lu Family, and many want to join us, only Lu Kongshen is firmly opposed!” Ni Family head spoke up.

”As for the Zhang Family...” Fatty Sun hesitated for a moment.

”Let’s not contact them for now, the Zhang Family has military backing, stirring them up at this point is unwise!” Ni Family head shook his head, having a bit more insight into the Zhang Family than others.

”So what now?!” Quan Rui was a bit agitated, ”Just sit doing nothing?”

”Don’t forget, whether it’s the origin of Spiritual Energy revival or the mutated beast cooking methods, they’re all held by the Lu Family, plus that little girl! You all know the message from the Holy Court!”

The Holy Court is a superpower organization formed by Russia and Europe.

Currently, the superpower world is divided into five major factions.

There’s the Holy Court mentioned earlier, America—Angel Organization, Australia—God Institute, Africa—Witch Sect.

Lastly, there’s them, currently somewhat disordered.

No choice, Heavenly Dynasty has unique advantages, other superpower organizations can only merge and reorganize among themselves.

Eventually forming this grand pattern.

Upon hearing Quan Rui’s words, everyone revealed a trace of greed in their eyes.

Yes, they’ve received word from the Holy Court that Lu Xiaobu’s sister is practically a natural Spiritual Energy absorber.

Just by standing near her, they can continuously absorb Spiritual Energy, a hundred times faster than cultivating on their own.

If this ability can be developed, the benefits would be unimaginable!

So, they targeted the Lu Family!

The Lu Family holds too many valuable resources, mere possession is a crime!

”How about probing again?” Qian Family head spoke up.

They’re gambling right now, wanting to maximize their chances of winning!

Even if they don’t achieve a hundred percent win rate, at least it should surpass fifty percent!

Having heard these words repeated countless times over the past three months, the others were silent, except one who erupted!

”Can we stop with the nonsense?! Probe! Probe! Probe every day! Haven’t we probed enough?! What exactly are we going to do?! Act or not?!”

Fatty Sun was a bit agitated, ”You won’t say it, I will! To be honest, I can’t hold on much longer!”

”You all say that man is dead, but I’ve not seen a body!”

”Moreover, the smiling tiger’s attitude leaves me very skeptical!”

”That’s why I think that man, no, those two men will return, and very likely will return!”

”Everyone knows this deep down!”

”I joined forces with you all, holding the attitude of swift action; gain enough benefits, boost enough strength before that man returns!”

”It’s been three months already, dragging further, I’m done!”

”Betting on a fruitless gamble, I’d rather try begging those two men at their feet!”

Fatty Sun’s words caused everyone to fall silent.

His words essentially pierced the paper window of their tacit understanding!

Yes, they still feared that man, no, as Fatty Sun said, feared those two men and their return!

They’ve refrained from speaking of the other man’s name because it seemingly held no benefit for them now, and also, out of fear!

After all, they had looted the other’s research facility thoroughly!

Even thoughts by foot would tell, once they return, the retaliation would be fierce and even brutal!

Silence prevailed for a moment.

”Alright! Decided! All or nothing! We have no retreat!” Qian Family head gritted his teeth and stood up: ”Today! Force that woman to give up everything!”

”Alright! Today then!” Quan Rui also gritted his teeth and said.

As Fatty Sun stated, although outsiders see them as flourishing, the truth is, they are the ones most anxious now!

They can no longer afford to wait!

If they wait any longer, they’d drive themselves mad!

Once they made their decision, the family heads did not hesitate any longer, each returning to make preparations.

Simultaneously, they again sent people to the Duanmu Family and Lu Family!

These two families were still worth trying to win over.

Of course, this was also the last attempt, if they still chose not to get involved, remaining neutral, then even if they succeed, it would be impossible for them to try sharing the spoils!

Such news couldn’t possibly remain hidden, nor did the family heads plan to keep it concealed, as there was no need.

So once the news spread, immediately, the entire Jianghu was on tenterhooks, bustling and restless; everyone stirred!

They seem to have felt a bit of the atmosphere from Huashan Sword Duel!
