The strategist of the family lightly stroked his mustache, sensing Lv Zheng’s impatience, and spoke calmly, "Since that’s the case, I’ll get straight to the point! The family is currently at an absolute low, so we need a lot of money to rebuild and get back on track. As a mber of our family, you should be willing to contribute so financial support to help the family rise again."
Understanding his aning, Lv Zheng laughed in anger.
"Haha, you all are really sothing! You stripped of my position as Family Head and still want to squeeze money out of ? What is it? All the good things are yours? Do you have any sha? Are you even human?"
Hearing these consecutive questions, the strategist with the mustache sneered coldly, "Is there any point in talking about pointless things like this? Hand over the money, or you won’t be leaving here today!"
"Yes!"
"Hand over the money!"
Upon hearing the strategist’s ultimatum, they all sneered, looking at Lv Zheng with cold faces.
They knew that there was no turning back between them and Lv Zheng!
In this situation, squeezing all the money out of him was a good move.
Because without money, he wouldn’t think of making a coback.
Seeing everyone surrounding him with sneers, Lv Zheng’s expression grew even more sinister, "Do you really want to completely tear our faces apart?"
Even a broken ship has a few nails left!
Though the family had been in decline for years, there was still plenty of fat to be trimd!
Thus, as part of the family, Lv Zheng had filled his pockets through various maneuvers.
When he was previously dismissed, he was angry.
But honestly, he wasn’t in a panic.
He thought that as long as he had money, he would have a chance to rise again.
Even if a coback was impossible, he could still live comfortably for the rest of his life.
But now, they were cutting off his supply at the source.
This kind of maneuver made Lv Zheng feel extrely uncomfortable, and now his expression was much more hideous than before.
Upon hearing such questioning, they laughed.
Soon, the person with the highest prestige rasped a question, "Do you think we’re joking with you now?"
Finishing his words, without waiting for Lv Zheng to respond, he directly looked at the eager people around him and said casually, "Alright, stop wasting ti, take him down! Sotis, saying too much doesn’t help!"
"Yes!"
Quickly agreeing, they charged wildly...
Within seconds, Lv Zheng’s shrill screams echoed throughout the entire hall.
...
Having left the place, Xiaobei heard the shrill screams and sneered, "Seems like they’re turning against each other now!"
At this mont, Xiaobei looked indifferent since he had foreseen such a situation before.
Lv Xinxin and Lv Beibei, who were beside Xiaobei, also heard the screams and instantly understood what had happened.
But they felt no sympathy, because Lv Zheng brought this upon himself.
If he had talked properly with Xiaobei earlier, such a situation wouldn’t have occurred.
...
"Now, tell about the family competing with you for the Jade Vein!"
In an old-fashioned gazebo, Xiaobei looked at Lv Xinxin with an indifferent expression.
Previously, Xiaobei had no interest in the opponent.
Because he knew he was just there to help and only responsible for the contest.
But now, he’s no longer just a helper, but one of the main characters...
Knowing both yourself and the enemy leads to a hundred victories, and naturally, he had to learn about the opponent so he could develop better strategies and policies.
"This ti, the family competing with us is an old rival of the Lv Family!"
Thus, Xiaobei quickly learned all the information he needed to know...
The opponent is the Sun Family, which used to be a subordinate of the Lv Family and had to pay tribute every year.
The Lv Family completely looked down on the Sun Family and never took it seriously.
Eventually, as the Sun Family grew stronger, the Lv Family started paying attention, but it was too late because the younger generation of the Sun Family was particularly formidable.
In this way, the Sun Family gradually seized the Jade Vein belonging to the Lv Family.
To suppress the Sun Family, the Lv Family had also been trying various ways but never succeeded...
The repeated conflicts further exacerbated their relationship...
Now, they’ve reached a point where they’re completely at odds, a battle to the death...
This is also why, upon discovering a new Jade Mine, they thought not of cooperation but of crushing the opponent to possess it completely...
After hearing all the information about the Sun Family, Xiaobei had so admiration, "This Sun Family really endured the humiliation and survived before!"
"Yes, I reminded the family ti and again that the Sun Family shouldn’t be underestimated, but they didn’t listen at all!"
Being a young mber of the family, Lv Xinxin had interacted with the younger generation of the Sun Family several tis before.
During those interactions, she discovered that their strength was truly formidable.
Therefore, she had warned the elders in the family multiple tis to be wary of their patience and discretion.
But they never believed...
"Sister, this isn’t your fault. It’s just that the people in the family were too set in their ways!"
"Yes, if they weren’t so arrogant and set in their ways, today’s situation could never have turned out like this!"
Saying this, she didn’t dwell on it further and instead looked at Xiaobei, speaking solemnly, "Master Xiaobei, that Sun Family is truly not simple. We must be cautious when we go to their territory tomorrow, lest we fall into their trap."
"I understand! I will be careful!"
Xiaobei nodded solemnly...
While Xiaobei and the others were talking, in a more traditional courtyard ten miles away, a group of people gathered...
Sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man with a ponytail, who lifted his head, "What did you say? The Lv Family has internal strife?"
This was the Sun Family!
This man was the Sun Family Head, Sun Gangng...
Sitting beside him were all mbers of the Sun Family...
Since they were about to duel with the Lv Family the next day, they gathered here for a small eting. No sooner had they assembled than they heard this shocking news...
"Yes, Family Head, this information ca from our scout at the forefront!"
Glancing at this respectful person, he spoke again, "It was from our scout?"
"Yes, it was him!"
"I see, you may leave now!"
"Yes!"
After the subordinate left, the Sun Family Head, Sun Gangng, squinted his eyes and spoke deeply, "You all heard what he said, what do you think?"
