Zhao Hu Zi watched from outside as Su Ze hobbled away, then imdiately returned to his room, approached Su Yang, and whispered: "Master Su, sothing... sothing has happened outside..."
"What happened?" Su Yang asked.
"Just now, Han Shao sent a ssage saying... saying that Master Wang and people from other families in Capital City have stord the Han Family Courtyard, intending to annihilate them and wash away their own sins," Zhao Hu Zi spoke softly. "Of the seventeen families, fourteen have gone to beg the Wang Family for rcy. Only three families remained on our side in the end, and the Han Family is one of them. But now, mbers from these three families have all been captured at the Han Family Courtyard. Moreover, Master Wang has issued a public announcent, demanding... demanding you to kneel and apologize at the Han Family Courtyard within half an hour, or else... or else he will kill all the mbers of these three families..."
As he spoke, Zhao Hu Zi glanced at Su Yang, his face full of worry. After all, he had a good relationship with Han Shao, and he truly did not wish for the Han Family to et such an end. However, he was also unsure of Su Yang’s stance on this matter, so he felt extrely anxious.
"Heh, a bunch of jumping clowns!" Su Yang said with a faint smile: "Out of seventeen families, there are still three that stand on our side in the end. This is beyond my expectations."
"Ah?" Zhao Hu Zi was stupefied.
"I thought it would be nice to have even one family left in the end. It seems that the people from these three families still have so blood in them!" Su Yang stood up and said softly: "I’ve said before, everything will co to an end tonight. Since these jumping clowns are willing to perform, let’s grant them an ending tonight."
Zhao Hu Zi’s face instantly lit up with joy: "Master Su, shall I arrange for soone to rescue them?"
"No need!" Su Yang said: "Just arrange the manpower directly, we will head there to fight!"
Zhao Hu Zi was even more delighted and imdiately said: "Alright, I’ll make the arrangents now!"
Zhao Hu Zi ran out gleefully; he had been waiting for this mont for a long ti.
While Zhao Hu Zi was not sure about other families, he was well aware of the pressure the Han Family had endured in this affair.
Even Han Shao, who was recovering from injuries in the hospital, had been captured by Master Wang’s n and thrown into the Han Family Courtyard. Master Wang’s actions made Zhao Hu Zi seethe with rage, almost wanting to rush over and fight them there and then.
But Su Yang had his plans, and until Su Yang said to help the Han Family, he dared not to speak out.
Now, the mont had finally arrived. Tonight, they had already repelled the Su Family of Yanbei. What support could these people from Capital City still rely on?
...
The Han Family Courtyard was now brightly lit.
Upon learning that the Su Family of Yanbei had attacked the Shen Family Courtyard, Master Wang was particularly agitated, imdiately leading his n to capture all the mbers of the three families and concentrated them in the Han Family Courtyard.
He knew that Su Yang couldn’t leave his current situation, so he made a public announcent demanding Su Yang to co and kneel to apologize within half an hour. Plainly speaking, he was using this opportunity to elevate his own prestige and status once more. This ti, he not only wanted to continue as the Wang Family Head but also to occupy a more important position in Capital City.
In the hall, the Han Family Head, so top mbers of the Han Family, and Han Shao were all slumped on the ground.
Also collapsed on the ground were high-level mbers of the other two families, the Shi Family and the Tang Family.
These two families had always had good relations with the Han Family and, after recent events involving Zhao Dongming, they also had a deep connection with Su Yang. Moreover, they had so grievances with the Wang Family. Thus, in this affair, they ultimately chose to stand with Su Yang.
However, they didn’t expect that Su Yang wouldn’t intervene from the beginning to the end. Moreover, before they could prepare, they were sneak attacked by Master Wang, who captured their entire families.
Now, mbers of these two families were all tied up in the Han Family Courtyard. Everyone, from 90-year-old elders to children still cradled in their families’ bosom, none were spared; all were brought here.
Master Wang sat in the main seat, with his son Wang Yu by his side, followed by several other Family Heads who had allied with Master Wang.
These people all wore faces of triumph, already knowing about the Su Family of Yanbei’s attack on the Shen Family Courtyard. In their eyes, Su Yang was as good as dead. Taking advantage of this situation to take such actions, they believed, would greatly boost their reputation in Capital City and benefit their future developnt.
Now, they just needed to wait for Su Yang’s demise, then kill all the mbers of the Han, Shi, and Tang families here, and this battle would be completely over. They would shine in this fight and later in Capital City gain even more benefits, at least any family wiped out would have to be divided among them.
So, they were in very high spirits, sipping tea and chatting away with laughter, as if they were not awaiting a massacre but simply having a casual conversation.
As twenty-five minutes went by, Master Wang couldn’t help but sneer: "It seems, this Su fellow won’t be coming to save you. Ah, how should I put this? You pledged loyalty to this Su, faithfully. But what about him? You’re about to die, and he doesn’t even dare to speak out. What’s the point of your loyalty to such a person?"
The few on the ground kept their heads down, not speaking a word. Biting his teeth, Han Shao said unwillingly: "Master Su is not the kind of person you think he is, he must have more important matters to attend. Wang, for what happened today, Master Su will surely avenge us!"
"Delusional even when death looms!" a man beside him sneered imdiately: "Han, you can’t see you’re dying. How nice of Master Wang to offer you such a chance, why didn’t you cherish it? What’s Su worth, do you really think he can stand a chance in Capital City? He’ll end up dead here in the end. Only our Capital City families are eternal. Master Wang gave you an opportunity to return to the community of Capital City, yet you were unwilling. Who do you bla for your current plight?"
This man was one of the Family Heads from the original seventeen families that cooperated with Su Yang. However, he was the cunning type who ran to Master Wang for protection shortly after he spoke, so now he could stand beside Master Wang, arrogantly and triumphantly high and mighty.
Glancing at him, Han Shao said through clenched teeth: "Don’t be too pleased with yourself. When Master Su gets a chance, I hope you won’t be kneeling on the ground, begging him for another opportunity."
