Wang Chengye's expression grew uglier and uglier.
The words from Wang Jiyi and his son were almost cursing Wang Zihao to death.
However, this was not surprising, as if Wang Zihao were to truly die, then Wang Zixuan would naturally beco the heir of the Wang Family, and the vast business empire of the Wang Family would belong to them, father and son.
However.
Wang Chengye said coldly, "Jiyi, Zixuan, the matter is not yet clear. Don't you think it's too early to speak of such things?"
Wang Zixuan imdiately said, "Uncle, we definitely don't an anything else, but a nation cannot be without its king for a day, and a family cannot be without a head for a day. Since Zihao has no news, the matter of succession..."
"Presumptuous!"
Wang Chengye was instantly furious and yelled, "I am not dead yet! Are you cursing to die?"
"Big brother, the child doesn't know how to speak. Don't take it to heart," said Wang Jiyi. "But now Xu Hao's power is too great; our Wang Family absolutely cannot withstand it. So I think we should negotiate with Xu Hao..."
Wang Zixuan scoffed, "Humph! If it weren't for that fool Wang Zihao who provoked Xu Hao for no reason, our Wang Family wouldn't have been pushed to this predicant!"
"Shut up!" Wang Jiyi scolded.
"Dad, am I wrong? Ask everyone if I'm not right," Wang Zixuan said, clearly unhappy, with a look of discontent.
So of the Wang Family mbers kept silent, simply closing their eyes to ditate, but others nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Wang Zixuan.
Wang Chengye was so angry he could hardly contain himself. Wang Jiyi and his son were playing good cop, bad cop, purely to suppress him, forcing him to give up the power of the Wang Family because of Wang Zihao!
"Dingling, dingling!"
Just then, the landline phone suddenly rang.
Wang Chengye snorted and picked up the phone.
Wang Zixuan suddenly rushed over and pressed the speakerphone.
"Dad, it's Zihao. I've encountered a martial cultivation expert with Young Master Tang. This expert says my physique is especially suited for their Cultivation Technique and wants to take as a disciple. We will go into seclusion for a while. After I return, Xu Hao's days are numbered!"
It was the voice of Wang Zihao, whom they had not seen for a long ti!
Wang Chengye's hands trembled slightly, and the huge weight in his heart finally settled down. My Virtual Library Empire (*) appreciates your readership at the source.
His son was all right!
Not only that, but he had also t an expert!
"Humph!" Wang Jiyi and his son snorted but said no more.
Wang Zihao was of a timid nature, he likely wouldn't have the courage to lie about such a big matter.
Wang Chengye quickly said, "Zihao, you've encountered a great fortune! Follow that expert and cultivate diligently. We can talk about revenge later."
"Dad, don't worry. When I return after so ti, Xu Hao will be nothing but trash that I can kill with a flick of my finger! But this period might be tough on you all. Xu Hao will certainly not spare our Wang Family. So you'd better pretend to capitulate before he cos."
Wang Chengye felt moved, realizing that after these recent events, his son had finally grown up, his thinking had matured. He knew how to be patient now, no longer the arrogant and presumptuous second-generation rich he used to be.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. You just focus on your cultivation and obey your master!" Wang Chengye hurriedly instructed.
"Don't worry, dad. I'll definitely return after mastering the skills. Just wait for my good news. We have to go now, so I won't speak more," said Zihao.
After these words, the call from Wang Zihao ended.
In the distance, Wang Chengye thought he heard soone hurrying Wang Zihao.
"Humph!"
Wang Chengye instantly toughened up and coldly said to Wang Jiyi and his son, "Jiyi, Zixuan, I've decided our Wang Family will temporarily submit to Xu Hao, to bide ti until my son returns as a master, and wash away our deep-seated hatred with blood!"
Neither of them said a word of opposition—their thoughts were actually in line with this course of action. At this mont, the Wang Family could not afford to antagonize Xu Hao anymore.
Wang Chengye swept his gaze across everyone and said in a cold voice, "However, to prevent any betrayal, everyone here must swear an oath before the ancestors of the Wang Family pledge not to speak of tonight's events, or may the heavens strike them with thunder!"
No one dared to oppose!
...
After reading the vassal application signed by all the Wang Family mbers, Xu Hao smiled lightly and said, "While I was in Huadu, I faced assassination attempts by mbers of the Tang Sect ti and again. Nine tis out of ten, it was the Wang Family's doing. And now, with Wang Zihao missing, they probably got scared."
Sitting aside, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly and said, "Patriarch of Wang Family, Wang Chengye, was once a formidable figure. Even if the Wang Family is in decline now, a person's nature cannot be easily changed. I'm worried that their sudden offer of peace might be a deceitful strategy."
Caressing the surface of the table, Xu Hao pondered for a mont and said, "The Wang Family's offer of peace spares us a major conflict, which is a good thing. But to guard against their deceit, we must never allow their people into the core of our corporation.
However, what if they are truly sincere? So we cannot discourage them entirely. Those who deserve promotions will still be promoted, but for the next ten years, they may only serve in branch offices. After ten years, if they remain loyally devoted, then we'll lift the ban."
