“If no one does anything, then their Peace Town will follow suit and claim to become fortress…”
Everyone was somewhat at a loss.
” It's that simple?!”
” Peace Town supported Zhao Yu to fight you just for a title as fortress?!”
Everyone felt that this reason was too ridiculous.
“That's because Zhao Yu won, so everyone thinks that it's not appropriate for Peace Town to be the reason behind it…”
“Think about it, at the very beginning, Peace Town hadn't fought us yet. It was only after they won against us that everyone accepted Zhao Family Fortress as a legitimate power…”
He made a point, and the others found it reasonable.
Before Zhao Yu's victory, it indeed wouldn't have been appropriate for Peace Town to declare itself a fortress, as it would have attracted much speculation.
But now, after Zhao Yu had fought and won against the Han family, their claim to fortress status went unchallenged.
In the eyes of the world, Peace Town was much stronger than Zhao Family Fortress. Once Zhao Yu dared to claim fortress status, it seemed normal for Peace Town to follow suit.
Though the reasoning was far-fetched, the Han family patriarch's explanation seemed plausible.
The Han patriarch continued: “Gentlemen, Peace Town played a smart game but it's built on the defeat of my Han family, humiliating the Black Rock City.'..” “Think about it, everyone is still in the dark right now, nobody knows…” “But in time, once this becomes widely known, it will be a huge loss of stand e for Black Rock City…”
“After all, if a mere Peace Town dares to plan against Black Rock City, where will our dignity stand in the future?!”
The others nodded slightly, seeming to understand the Han patriarch's rationale for summoning them.
He wanted to rally the other families to attack Zhao Family Fortress.
Inviting the representatives of the eight great merchant associations was because these associations had been discussing whether to establish branches in Zhao Family Fortress.
By this action, the Han patriarch clearly wanted to inform them that Zhao Family Fortress would soon be non-existent, stricken by war, so there was no need for the guilds to set up there.
After some discussion:
“So, you want us to join forces and attack Zhao Yu, or Peace Town?”
“Peace Town is another matter, they are quite strong. It's not worth it for us to go head-to-head with them…”
The Han patriarch smiled and added, “But Zhao Family Fortress must be destroyed…”
-Zhao Yu is backed by Peace Town, and only we know about it now. Peace Town wouldn't dare to reveal it and will only quietly support in the background…” “On our side, my Han family will lead with support from you all in the shadows…”
-This way, even if we win, people will think that it was my Han family who single-handedly defeated Peace Town…”
“Heh!”
The Old rival chuckled coldly, “You've got quite the scheme, we put in the effort and resources, and all the glory goes to your Han family?”
“Ah, you misunderstand!”
The Han patriarch was obviously prepared and said cheerfully: “Gentlemen
this move is beneficial for Black Rock City…”
“Everyone knows, my Han family ranks last among the four major families in Black Rock City…”
“If my Han family alone can defeat Peace Town, wouldn't the other three families be perceived as even stronger?”
“Who would then dare to use Black Rock City as a steeping stone in the future?” XU Jia Lu, seated at the head of the table, yawned and stood up, “You all discuss. My Xu family won't be involved in this. After all, it's your Han family's people who died…”
With that, she turned and left.
The other two families also came to their senses. The thoughts they originally harbored gradually faded as they spoke up:
“Yeah, this is your Han family's matter. Why should it involve the rest of Black Rock City?!”
“Besides, with the strength of Black Rock City as it is, do we need someone else's approval?”
“Old Han, that was a clever trick, almost had me fooled…”
“But you should figure out your own solution. Surely you can handle a mere
Zhao Family Fortress, right?!”
“If you can't beat them, that's what would truly disgrace the four major families of Black Rock City…”
The Han family patriarch's mouth twitched, not expecting his nearly successful plan to be disrupted by Xu Jia Lu's single comment.
But he dared not express his anger. Not to mention Xu Jia Lu represented the strongest Xu family in Black Rock City.
Just the support of major powers behind Xu Jia Lu alone was something his
Han family couldn't afford to provoke.
Leaving the meeting room, Xu Jia Lu walked expressionlessly.
“Miss, the amusement park has been reserved. Shall we go now?”
“No, not anymore!”
Xu Jia Lu coldly glanced at her maid, frightening her so much that she lost her composure.
She remained silent the whole way until she got into the car, then instructed the driver to head towards the Xu family estate.
Only when she reached her own room did Xu Jia Lu finally unleash her pent-up anger, furiously smashing the furniture inside.
Her actions terrified the servants and maids in the house, but none dared to cross Xu Jia Lu, all keeping their distance.
“Damn Chu Yue Yue!”
“Despicable couple, shameless!”
“Pui!”
Xu Jia Lu raged, continuously cursing.
After a while, she called for her satellite phone and dialed a number.
“Lu Lu, how come you have time to call me. other end of the phone..
” A playful voice answered on the
