Although he seed to have a good relationship with Luo Wei, ultimately, this was just so of his previous sarcastic remarks, which happened to suit Luo Wei’s taste.
They weren’t qualified to participate in the matters of Yanjing’s great families, so all they could do was follow their lead.
Very soon.
Luo Wei swaggered to the front gate. When the gatekeeper saw Luo Wei, he imdiately abandoned his arrogance toward others and respectfully invited Luo Wei inside.
But when Luo Wei and his entourage arrived at Zhou Gong Mansion, his cynical smile was instantly suppressed, and he even noticed his father trembling.
Because at this mont, in the main hall, Mr. Zhou Er and Mr. Zhou Fuyang were seated in the highest position.
The remaining wealthy figures of Yanjing sat together, and from Zhou Fuyang’s expression and the atmosphere in the room, one could see it.
Did the Zhou Family need help?
Those affluent and powerful individuals who had still been chatting noisily imdiately fell silent when they heard Zhou Fuyang speak, looking at him with puzzled expressions.
What is the Zhou Family?
They’re the first family of China tied by marriage to the Chenn Family!
Even though Chenn Reni retired from the position of War God in China, as long as a new War God has not been confird, the Chenn Family remains a War God Family, and the Zhou Family is their in-law family!
Such a Zhou Family, with its innate advantages, is far more powerful than their families—what could possibly require their help?
What could China have done to displease Zhou Chengliang’s family?
The general consensus was that Zhou Fuyang’s words were nothing more than nonsense.
But Zhou Fuyang understood his own predicant!
Yang Tian—forget the Zhou Family—even in China, his influence weighs heavily on the world!
Now, with Chenn Bangguo having not yet left the country, the Zhou Family cannot withstand such pressure!
Thus, Zhou Fuhai, a shrewd man, spent his ti not only staying with the Chenn Family but also waiting for them to deal with Yang Tian.
On another front, Zhou Fuyang’s real goal in gathering these wealthy figures was to leverage them before Chenn Bangguo erged from customs by bringing Yang Tian directly before him.
In Zhou Fuhai’s words, while Yang Tian is decisive in cutting down opposition, he still holds a certain reservation toward the nurous families of Yanjing.
And this reservation can buy the Zhou Family so precious ti!
Of course, regarding Yang Tian’s na, when Zhou Fuhai returned from Zhou Fuyang’s side, he advised against uttering it directly, only ntioning him as the Zhou Family’s adversary!
This way, they wouldn’t have to fear that any wealthy families would recognize Yang Tian’s na and derail their plan!
Zhou Fuyang heard and imdiately laughed, saying, "It seems you’re a bit doubtful."
"Not doubtful—suspicious!"
At that mont, Bitian and Luo Xinrong, head of the Luo Family, stood in front of Luo Wei and murmured, "Yesterday, on Tuesday, there was a family back at the Chenn Family’s side—an in-law to the War God Family. Even with a single insult, there’s nothing we can do that your Zhou Family couldn’t; what we can’t do, your Zhou Family surely can! I truly cannot imagine where your Zhou Family would need our help! Or..."
Then, Luo Xinrong paused briefly and snorted, "Is there so sche behind all this?"
A sche?
At that mont, all the other wealthy family heads showed sullen expressions.
After all, Zhou Fuhai of the Zhou Family was renowned for his ticulous planning.
This ti, with the sudden gathering of Yanjing’s affluent clans for so vague plea for assistance, the situation certainly carried many peculiar undertones!
Zhou Fuyang observed this and felt hatred flourishing in his heart.
Because before Chenn Bangguo entered Beijing, the Luo Family already had supremacy over the Zhou Family.
It was only thanks to Zhou Fuhai’s wisdom and foresight in aiding Chenn Bangguo that the Zhou Family managed to suppress the Luo Clan for a decade.
Unexpectedly, they chose to create trouble at this crucial mont!
Fortunately, the Zhou Family had already made preparations regarding this case. Zhou Fuyang didn’t say anything further; instead, he looked deeply at Tang Zhongyu, the Tang Family head, seated opposite Luo Xinrong.
Tang Zhongyu imdiately nodded and sneered: "! Mr. Luo, this is inappropriate. The Zhou Family inviting us here is surely a recognition of us; don’t always put a villain’s heart into a gentleman’s mind."
"What do you an by that, Tang Zhongyu?"
As the words fell, Luo Xinseng imdiately erupted in anger.
"Nothing amusing! But many of my Tang Family’s businesses have always relied on the Zhou Family’s care, so if the Zhou Family has a place needing help, my Tang Family will naturally shoulder the responsibility!" Tang Zhongyu was still sarcastic.
Once those words were said, the gathered dignitaries couldn’t help nodding their heads.
The Chenn Family, though imnsely powerful, rarely involves themselves in Yanjing’s affairs and even transcends the global order. So since we’re in Yanjing, we’ve had to rely on Zhou Jia to so extent.
If anyone offended the Zhou Family during such sensitive tis for unclear reasons, their future days would undoubtedly be difficult!
One mansion’s lord spoke up imdiately: "Tuesday, why don’t you first tell us clearly what you want us to do for you?"
"Indeed! Lay it out; we need to weigh whether we’re capable of helping!"
"Oh! I think that’s a good idea! We’re certainly willing to do what we can."
The other wealthy families nodded in agreent.
Luo Xinrong saw everyone’s alignnt with such sentint, snorted, but ceased any further insistence.
After all, the Luo Family today was not on par with the Zhou Family!
Seeing Luo Xinrong’s inquiry suppressed, Zhou Fuyang opened his mouth again and laughed, "There were so misunderstandings with the Luo Family previously, but no matter. Now, since you all wish to know what assistance my Zhou Family seeks, I won’t hide anything further!"
"It’s for my Luo family.
"The future? So soon?"
When hearing this unexpected voice, Zhou Fuyang was instantly jolted. Even his hand, which lightly rested on the chair’s armrest, began clenching—sweat faintly appearing on his palm.
A na of a person is like the shadow of a tree!
Yang Tian, though never encountered, was a god of legends and a god of slayers heard around the world.
Such an individual who could intimidate and terrify even his eldest brother—a man wise and considerate—would undoubtedly bring tension upon arriving at the Yang Family’s doorstep!
At the sa ti, he deeply admired his elder brother Zhou Fuhai’s foresight for imdiately calling him to summon these wealthy family heads. Otherwise, he would surely lack the courage to face such an ordeal alone.
But Zhou Fuyang, as the second patriarch of the Zhou Family, steadied his outer composure despite inner tension. He rely shook his head, smiling, "! Oh, Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Gentlen, today the Zhou Family relies on your town’s eminence. Of course, deterrence is our main priority. Before the Chenn Family arrives, refrain from initiating conflicts!"
"Tuesday has shown impeccable foresight!"
Tang Zhongyu, patriarch of the Tang Family and in-laws with the Zhou Family, hearing Zhou Fuyang’s words, imdiately revealed a sincere smile: "Isn’t he rely a cultivator? Honestly, with the Chenn Family in place, does Tuesday need us to assist for re appearances? Since the Zhou Family honors us, my Tang Family will surely prevent trivial nuisances from troubling the Zhou Family!"
After speaking, Tang Zhongyu glanced behind him. The man clearly understood his cue, nodded, and stepped out with several others.
The Zhou Family didn’t need to hire cultivators due to the towering presence of the Chenn Family.
But other affluent families differed; they typically had groups of strong practitioners to call upon.
These individuals were often retired special forces, rcenaries, or even elite bodyguards.
