Zhao Dongming was dumbfounded as he suddenly realized that the situation might indeed be as Su Yang had described.
"You... who are you trying to deceive!" Ge Kaiyang was sowhat frustrated and frantic: "Zhao Dongming, don’t be fooled by him, he’s just worried that you’ll call the seventeen clans, worried that they will co to your aid. Make the call quickly, this bastard, he’s trying to bluff us!"
Zhao Dongming’s heart stirred, could it really be so?
"Up to you." Su Yang chuckled: "I’ll give you three minutes to make the calls, after that, we’ll continue."
Zhao Dongming looked at the confident Su Yang and felt even less sure. But in the end, he still clenched his teeth and made the call. No matter what, at this point, he had to confirm.
However, the first call went out, and there was no one on the other end.
His heart sank, and then he dialed the second, third, fourth. He went through all seventeen clans, and no one picked up.
Zhao Dongming completely panicked; in the afternoon, he had t the family heads of these seventeen clans, and everyone had spoken amiably. Now they were not answering the calls, everyone would know, there must be a problem.
"How about it, no answer?" Su Yang smiled: "Do you want to make a call for you?"
Su Yang took out his cellphone and dialed a number. Soon after, Su Yang connected, smiling: "Zhao Dongming, it’s the Head of the Wu Family, do you want to chat with him?"
Zhao Dongming took a look at Su Yang’s cellphone, his face grew more embarrassed. From the mont when the seventeen family heads didn’t answer the calls, he knew that what Su Yang said was highly likely to be true!
"I’ll take it!" Ge Kaiyang defiantly said: "Su Yang, throw the phone over here."
Su Yang didn’t refuse and casually tossed the phone over.
Ge Kaiyang picked up the phone and passed it to Zhao Dongming: "You’re more familiar, you speak."
Zhao Dongming took the cellphone, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Patriarch Wu?"
The other side was silent for a while, a cold voice ca through: "Zhao Dongming, we are not suitable for cooperation, that’s all."
With that, the call was directly hung up. But Zhao Dongming heard clearly, it was indeed the voice of the Head of the Wu Family.
He was completely stupefied; now he could truly confirm that Su Yang really did ally with those seventeen clans. And he, had truly fallen for Su Yang’s trick, trapped in Su Yang’s sche.
"How about it, now you can be certain?" Su Yang smiled faintly: "Zhao Dongming, I’ve already told you, those seventeen clans won’t help you, yet you insisted on not believing."
Zhao Dongming’s face darkened to the extre, he gritted his teeth looking at Su Yang, and said heavily: "Su, you deliberately set a trap, luring in?"
"Or what else?" Su Yang smiled faintly: "Just because you set traps for , does it an I’m not allowed to plan against you?"
"So you an, you already started setting the trap when you invited those seventeen family heads for dinner!" Zhao Dongming said gravely: "However, what I cannot understand is, how did you know my plans? How did you know I was going to deal with you? How did you know I would use those seventeen clans to target you?"
"Just wait a mont." Su Yang chuckled: "The trap I’ve set wasn’t just from the dinner with those seventeen family heads."
"What do you an?" Zhao Dongming frowned imdiately.
Su Yang said: "This plan, I started preparing it as soon as I entered the Shen Family Courtyard."
"What?!" Zhao Dongming’s eyes widened, Su Yang had entered the Shen Family Courtyard only after battling with Lü Wenbang and the major families of the Capital City that night. Which ant, after that night, he directly began targeting Zhao Dongming.
But at that ti, Zhao Dongming hadn’t yet decided on his plan to deal with Su Yang, how could Su Yang have started to set a trap for him at that point?
"Su, who are you fooling?" Zhao Dongming angrily said: "That day, I hadn’t even planned how to deal with you yet, and you had already started scheming? I hadn’t even planned yet, how did you counter my plans without knowing what I was going to do?"
Su Yang curled his lips: "I don’t know what you’re going to do, but I can make you do things!"
"You... what do you an?" Zhao Dongming was utterly confused.
"It’s very simple..." Su Yang smiled faintly, taking out the purple veil, leisurely speaking: "This purple veil, I left it behind on purpose!"
"What?!" Zhao Dongming’s eyes bulged, he suddenly understood what Su Yang ant.
"I don’t know what plans you have, but I can induce you to make certain plans." Su Yang smiled faintly: "In fact, I knew about you abducting my n long ago. Do you really think you could buy them over? Do you really think the so-called poison that you fed them is truly incurable? Don’t forget, I am the Alliance Hierarch of the Divine Physicians Alliance, those little poisons are nothing in my eyes. I cured their poison, and incidentally let them carry out your orders. Even, I intentionally let them hand you this purple veil, just to prompt you to make a decision."
Su Yang shook the purple veil in his hand, smiling: "This purple veil, indeed belongs to Jeang Zier. However, I had soone bring it from Pingnan Province, specifically to set you up. And you really cooperated quite well, after getting this purple veil, you imdiately started to work around it."
"After last night’s battle with Lü Wenbang, I guessed that you would surely contact any usable force against . And now in Capital City, what forces could you call upon? The major families were too scared to act when Lü Wenbang attacked last night; this ti, they surely wouldn’t help you even more. Hence, your target must be those seventeen clans."
"You determined I would severely punish those seventeen clans and, with my thods, I would decisively deal with them. At that mont, it would be much easier for you to seek cooperation with them. Even, you specifically waited until I had hosted a banquet for the heads of those seventeen clans before you approached them for cooperation, right?"
Su Yang slowly spoke, but Zhao Dongming standing opposite him was utterly astounded, completely stunned.
What Su Yang described was not a bit off, it was exactly what he had done. And all this, Su Yang spoke as if he had experienced it firsthand, even his thoughts were articulated clearly, how could this be?
"How... how did you know this?" Zhao Dongming’s voice was trembling.
"Why couldn’t I know this?" Su Yang shrugged: "These are all common human behaviors. Zhao Dongming, you’re not one to stay idle, wanting to achieve sothing big, you would definitely follow this path. Also, you had no other choice. Your thods are easy to predict!"
