Mountain City.
It’s been a week since Baiyu was attacked.
During this week, all the various factions within Mountain City have been on edge.
However.
Soon, everyone realized that it didn’t seem as bad as they thought?
Lord Earl is evidently very rational and hasn’t done anything terrifying.
Just when people started calming down, thinking life would return to normal.
It was like an explosion.
Mutual Aid Association, together with the Earl’s Mansion.
Actually surrounded two of the six factions—Power Gang and Kuanglang Association!
In an instant.
The entire situation in Mountain City beca tense once again.
And the two gangs being surrounded didn’t dare to act rashly; instead, they restrained their n, hoping to negotiate with Baiyu.
At this mont.
The Chen Family, head of the six factions.
The entire family was solemn.
In the main hall, Chen Bufan frowned, listening to the scout’s report, his mind in turmoil.
"That bastard, what exactly is he up to? Taking on the six factions, does he really think our Chen Family is made of clay?"
Chen Bufan shouted angrily.
However.
At that mont, a servant rushed in from outside: "Patriarch, the Violet Count is here."
Chen Bufan’s eyes widened.
This kid.
Actually dared to co at the door.
Everyone knows his aim against the six factions is nothing but a desire to regain control of the Security Bureau and obtain power.
This is fundantally contradictory to the Chen Family.
Now, what does he want by coming here?
Although Chen Bufan was confused, he still said: "Welco him imdiately, do not lose etiquette.
This is a sensitive ti.
We can’t let this kid grab any leverage."
...
The Chen Family’s opulence and grandeur left Baiyu extrely impressed.
He walked in from the front gate, passed through the middle hall, the main hall, and arrived at the grand hall; inside were countless twists and turns, with corridors adorned with dragons and phoenixes, rare flowers and plants, and precious spiritual materials everywhere.
The entire Chen Family courtyard, seven entrances and exits.
No ordinary dukes, marquesses, or earls can match their family’s luxury.
Baiyu’s Violet Count’s Mansion only had five entrances and exits.
Such luxury, it’s hard to imagine this is rely the courtyard of a prominent local family.
"Lord Earl, I wonder why you suddenly visited our humble abode? Our Chen Family has been a law-abiding, rcantile house for generations, absolutely no involvent in any shady or illegal activities."
Chen Bufan said solemnly.
During this period, he’s cleaned up all those shady businesses, and now, indeed, there is no evident leverage against the Chen Family.
Therefore.
Facing Baiyu, he felt extrely confident.
However, he didn’t expect that Baiyu this ti wouldn’t even glance at him and instead said directly: "Who is the one who really makes decisions in your family? I want to see them."
Upon hearing these words, the surrounding Chen Family mbers were imdiately flabbergasted.
This kid.
Too arrogant, disregarding everyone, overbearing and insolent.
Chen Bufan felt the fires of rage surging in his heart but held it in, silently reminding himself: If you wish to destroy soone, you must first make them crazy.
The more this Violet Count leaps around now.
The worse his fate will be later.
Rember, in Mountain City, it’s not that no one can control a count, but those people simply disdain getting involved in such matters right now.
But if things get out of hand.
Whether for the stability of Mountain City or their own interests, they won’t just sit by and watch.
"Lord Earl, I am the Patriarch of the Chen Family, Chen Bufan."
At this mont.
Chen Bufan gently bowed, forcing a faint grin.
Baiyu glanced at him indifferently: "I’m not referring to you, I an, who in the Chen Family truly calls the shots.
There’s only one chance.
If you continue with your pretense or nonsense here, I might not be able to save your Chen Family."
Hearing these words.
Chen Bufan was greatly alard, quickly recalling in his mind, confident that the Chen Family had no unclean ends exposed.
In recent tis.
He has personally supervised the family mbers, cutting off all those shady businesses outside.
Moreover.
To prevent unexpected incidents.
He even imposed a restriction order within the family to stop them from causing any trouble.
Having taken such precautions, Chen Bufan believed there couldn’t be any major problems, even if not flawless.
But now.
Baiyu actually told him that the Chen Family was at a life-and-death juncture?
"Patriarch Chen, do you recall the consequences for the Black Water Gang not heeding my warning? Many things might be misunderstood.
However.
If the Chen Family doesn’t adopt the appropriate attitude, then suspicions may fall upon you.
The life and death of the family, so many lives within the Chen Family, rests upon you alone.
If the Patriarch of the Chen Family doesn’t believe , then I’ll take my leave first.
But.
I must remind you, do not say you were not forewarned."
Baiyu sneered coldly and, with two personal guards, prepared to turn around and leave.
But at this ti.
A scar-faced middle-aged man stepped out from the inner hall of the Chen Family, stopping Baiyu:
"Lord Earl, the Chen Elder invites you to the back garden for a eting."
Upon hearing this, Baiyu paused: "Chen Elder?"
"Yes, please forgive us, sir. The Elder has long admired you and wished to see you in person.
Hearing about your visit to our humble abode.
The Elder feared that these worthless mbers of the Chen Family might neglect you, so he imdiately sent over to personally invite you."
The man said again.
Only then did Baiyu nod, not sparing a glance at the pale-faced Chen Bufan beside him, and headed straight towards the back garden.
