"Young Master Wang, although I'm a bit ambitious, my ambitions aren't large!" Tianfang Yizhong bitterly smiled and said, "Honestly, being able to inherit my father's role as City Lord, I'm already quite content and don't want any more turmoil,"
"Born in adversity, die in comfort," Wang Xiaoqiang said aningfully, "Tianfang Yizhong, I think you should understand the aning of this phrase, right?..."
"I understand, of course I do." Tianfang Yizhong replied, "I am one to enjoy leisure, but I also constantly strive to be diligent and capable, to govern Tianfang City well, so you can rest assured..."
Wang Xiaoqiang's expression changed, becoming gloomy, feeling that he had chosen the wrong person, this Tianfang Yizhong, actually had no grand ambition.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's gloomy face, Tianfang Yizhong was also apprehensive, because he knew very well that the position of City Lord was secured for him by Wang Xiaoqiang, and if Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to take it back, it would be as easy as turning his hand. In this world, power is supre; having power ans deciding everything, not just his position as City Lord, but even his life and death.
Just as Tianfang Yizhong was feeling apprehensive, Wang Xiaoqiang stood up coldly, his tone somber, "My decision is made, I'll give you three days to consider."
With that, Wang Xiaoqiang walked out of the dining room.
Wang Xiaoqiang's words were vague, but the implication could not have been clearer. He ant that either Tianfang Yizhong continues to expand his territory, or he steps down himself.
Faced with Wang Xiaoqiang's ultimatum, Tianfang Yizhong was filled with anxiety and apprehension,
Just as he himself had said, he had ambition, but not much, content with what he had. Besides, he hadn't even secured his position as City Lord, and Wang Xiaoqiang wanted him to expand territory, which he felt was a suicidal move,
However, if he didn't agree with Wang Xiaoqiang, Wang Xiaoqiang might replace him, or even directly eliminate him. Sitting there, he struggled to make a decision and imdiately summoned his two capable subordinates to discuss the matter.
Tianfang Yizhong's two capable subordinates, White Hair and Black Beard, the white-haired elder and the black-bearded elder, had been his retainers for many years, following him loyally, seemingly devoted,
Upon hearing that Wang Xiaoqiang intended to force Tianfang Yizhong out, both were furious. The white-haired elder, who never liked Wang Xiaoqiang, slapped the table and shouted, "That Wang Xiaoqiang, with a wolf's ambition laid bare, City Lord, hold on, I'll go take his head to ease your worry..."
Having said that, the white-haired elder was about to act but was stopped by Tianfang Yizhong. Helplessly, he said, "No, White Hair, you are not his match,"
Black Beard stepped forward, saying, "I'll go too, between the two of us, I don't believe we can't kill the scoundrel..."
"Even the two of you together can't kill him." Tianfang Yizhong shook his head sadly, "Actually, that day during the coup, I was observing him in secret, when he blasted Tianfang Wuji, I saw his blood qi form into the shape of a sword. His Blood Burning Technique has probably reached the third layer, Blood Qi Like Soldiers, extrely powerful, we have no chance of winning, and you can see a glimpse of this from the confidence in his words..."
"Hmph, City Lord, why do you always belittle our might and inflate others'?" the white-haired elder scoffed, "It's just a Blood Burning Technique, is it really that formidable? I, White Hair, want to try..." he said, ignoring the advice, walking straight out.
Tianfang Yizhong chased after him, shouting, "White Hair, stop,"
White Hair stopped, turning around, staring at Tianfang Yizhong. It seed like he understood the concern in Tianfang Yizhong's heart, smiling before he could speak, "City Lord, rest assured, if I succeed, it's good, if I fail, I won't implicate you..."
With that, White Hair imdiately took to the air, flying towards Wang Xiaoqiang's residence,
After leaving the dining room, Wang Xiaoqiang used his Heavenly Eye to keep an eye on Tianfang Yizhong and saw him summoning White Hair and Black Beard to discuss a major issue,
Now seeing White Hair rushing angrily towards his place, Wang Xiaoqiang knew he was coming to seek accountability. A cold smile flickered at the corner of his mouth. "Seeking death."
White Hair swiftly approached, detecting Wang Xiaoqiang's position with his Divine Sense, charging straight at him. Wang Xiaoqiang, not bothered to do it himself, imdiately gathered five little brothers.
The five Wild Beast minions flew in, blocking White Hair as he neared. White Hair halted, his eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang, filled with hatred, pointing at Wang Qiang, cursing, "Wang Xiaoqiang, treacherous wolf, prepare to die."
He stomped his foot, and then the Nine-Faced Immortal Disk flew out, slashing towards Wang Xiaoqiang. Wang Xiaoqiang sneered contemptuously, holding still, waiting for the Nine-Faced Immortal Disk to get close, then shook his arms, blood qi exploded, and with a series of blasts, sent the Nine-Faced Immortal Disk flying away.
Having reached the third layer, Blood Qi Like Soldiers, the power of blood qi could easily send the Immortal Disk flying.
Seeing this, White Hair was shocked. He knew the Blood Burning Technique was formidable but didn't expect such power, easily blasting his Nine-Faced Immortal Disk away with a single burst,
Although he knew he was no match, he didn't flee but chose not to return alive, controlling the Immortal Disk to launch a second wave of attacks on Wang Xiaoqiang, while lunging at him.
Wang Xiaoqiang's five brothers acted in ti, casting the Death Curse Technique, curse power thrust out, striking White Hair,
Boom boom boom boom boom~~
Each curse power that hit him caused White Hair's body to explode once. After the five curse powers, White Hair's body beca a heap of flesh and blood, scattered all over, a ssy and horrifying sight, the sll of blood filled the air.
With White Hair's demise, his Nine-Faced Immortal Disk shattering against Wang Xiaoqiang, fragnted, vanished into thin air.
"Overestimating oneself." Wang Xiaoqiang sneered, taking off with the five minions towards the City Lord's Residence, intending to seize power.
anwhile, Tianfang Yizhong, seeing White Hair going to kill Wang Xiaoqiang, paced nervously like an ant on a hot pot, unable to sit still, Black Beard noticed and said, "City Lord, should I go take a look? If White Hair is overmatched, I can lend a helping hand."
Tianfang Yizhong nodded distractedly, "Okay, go check it out."
Black Beard gave Tianfang Yizhong a furtive glance then stepped out, flying towards Wang Xiaoqiang's residence,
He hadn't gone far when he encountered Wang Xiaoqiang and his group head-on. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang not only unscathed from White Hair's actions but also leading five minions towards him, Black Beard knew he had defeated White Hair and now was coming to seize power,
Unlike White Hair, Black Beard wasn't so loyal, seeing that Tianfang Yizhong's days were numbered, he intended to join Wang Xiaoqiang, imdiately kneeling mid-air, "Welco, City Lord."
Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing this, smiled playfully, thinking of Tianfang Yizhong's two old subordinates as two extres, one fiercely loyal, the other soft and treacherous,
Frankly, Wang Xiaoqiang detested such fair-weather friends, preferring White Hair as a subordinate over Black Beard,
But to achieve great things, one shouldn't be petty, and needing an insider, he didn't reject Black Beard, extending a hand, "Stand up, Black Beard, why is your Young Lord so cowardly, I intend to help him conquer lands, yet he chooses to hide..."
Black Beard stood up, flew to Wang Xiaoqiang's side, like a little follower, shaking his head, "Alas, Tianfang Yizhong indeed lacks competence, if it weren't for you, City Lord, helping him, he would have been eliminated by Tianfang Wuji long ago. Since his position as City Lord is granted by you, take it directly, and eliminate him."
Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "One can't be too ruthless; the City Lord's position belongs to the Tianfang family, as an outsider, I'm afraid I can't convince the masses."
"The Lord of the City speaks wisely, if you directly replace Tianfang Yizhong, there will be a long period of adjustnt with the populace..."
"I have no ti for adjustnt," Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "By the way, Black Beard, you are the Supre General of the Military, Tianfang Yizhong's soldiers are under your command, do you think, if Tianfang Yizhong died, would his soldiers listen to you?"
"Of course." Black Beard replied confidently, "My prestige in the army is higher than Tianfang Yizhong's."
"Great, let's confine Tianfang Yizhong, and lead the army to attack Black Tiger County Kingdom..."
"Black Tiger County Kingdom?" Black Beard was shocked, as Tianfang City was under Black Tiger County Kingdom's jurisdiction, a re insignificant part of it. Leading Tianfang City's army against Black Tiger County Kingdom was akin to throwing an egg against a rock, seeking death. Stamring, "City, City Lord, you're not kidding, right?..."
Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "You already address as City Lord, the City's word is as good as gold, of course, I'm not joking,"
