Chapter 401: Chapter 400 Internal Strife

Hu Shao sat in the back and sneered as well, "To enter the Ten Great Families, strength is always required. Relying on some connections to enter the Ten Great Families will ultimately prove to be taking a crooked path. When it’s time to face a real test of strength, one’s true colors will undoubtedly be revealed. This time, the Hou Family is afraid they might tumble out of the Ten Great Families!"

"The Hou Family bunch of clowns never really had the ability, what right do they have to join the Ten Great Families?" Young Master Ding immediately said, "If you ask me, your Hu Family has more right than the Hou Family to be part of the Ten Great Families!"

Hu Shao said modestly, "Ah, Old Ding, you’re giving me too much credit. Our family just runs a martial arts school; we don’t engage in these family conflicts!"

"That’s just because you don’t bother with it. If you did, could the Hu Family be worse than the Hou Family?" Young Master Ding flattered.

"Hehe..." Hu Shao was quite pleased and said with a light smile, "Although my Hu Family doesn’t have the same background and strength as the Hou Family, if my dad were to step in, at least we wouldn’t be humiliated like this!"

"I think the Hou Family is probably going to be the first to be kicked out of the game!" A young man beside chipped in, "Knowing this, we might as well have let Master Hu compete. At the very least, he could have made it into the top ten or something, winning glory for Pingnan Province. The Hou Family is just here to lose face!"

Su Yang frowned silently. Without the appearance of Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, he couldn’t make a move. Could it be that he would watch the Hou Family be the first to be kicked out?

The skinny man stood arrogantly on the stage, looking down on Hou Shilin, "Surname Hou, does your Hou Family no longer have any blood or spine left? You lost one match and there’s no one else who will take the stage to avenge the loss?"

Hou Shilin’s face turned red with anger, but he was helpless. After all, the Hou Family indeed didn’t have enough strength to take to the stage. If Wang Jing Lei went up early, even if his strength was strong, how long could he last?

If Su Yang hadn’t come this time, the Hou Family was doomed to exit. But the issue was, exiting sooner or later mattered. If the Hou Family exited this early, their standing would be ruined.

Just having entered the Ten Great Families and to have such an incident occur, the Hou Family would likely fall directly out of the Ten Great Families. This failure was something they couldn’t afford!

So, despite his anger, Hou Shilin still repressed it and did not send anyone to the stage.

"We from the Hou Family admit defeat!" Hou Shilin said solemnly.

"Good!" The skinny man laughed loudly, "Since Young Master Hou has admitted defeat, I will spare you for now. But according to the rules of previous Dragon Head Meetings, shouldn’t I make demands of your Hou Family?"

People looked toward Ye Zhenying and Lian Qianjun in the distance. The things they were talking about did not include the previous rules. Therefore, whether the previous rules of the Dragon Head Meeting would continue to be implemented was still unknown.

Lian Qianjun announced, "The rules of the previous Dragon Head Meeting remain unchanged. As per tradition, the winner may make demands of the loser. If the loser cannot defeat the winner, then they must answer to the winner’s demands. Of course, the demands must be within the rules, and the specifics of the rules need no explanation from me!"

"We of course understand these rules!" the skinny man laughed heartily, glancing sideways at Hou Shilin, "Young Master Hou, my demand is simple; I want to acquire Changsheng Corporation under Qingyun Clubhouse!"

"What gives you the right!" Hou Shilin was instantly furious.

Changsheng Corporation was currently the most valuable among the three major corporations under the Qingyun Clubhouse. The projects that Su Yang was working on were still under research, and although the results were not out yet, it was only a matter of time. Once the results came out, Changsheng Corporation’s market value was certain to increase tenfold or more.

The Wang Family’s attempt to acquire Changsheng Corporation at this time was clearly aimed at the prospects of the Changsheng Corporation. Acquiring it now would surely come at a low price, but the future tenfold increase in value would make this a very worthwhile deal.

The skinny man sneered, "By what right? By the fact that Young Master Hou just admitted defeat, by the fact that you are no match for my Wang Family, isn’t that enough?"

"You..." Hou Shilin’s face turned white with anger, yet there was nothing he could do. It was a fact that the Hou Family lacked strength.

"Young Master Hou, this is the rule of the Dragon Head Meeting. With twenty major families from Pingnan and Pingbei Provinces all present, you wouldn’t be planning to go back on your word, would you?" The skinny man sneered, "Either come up and defeat me, or sell Changsheng Corporation to me, your call!"

Hou Shilin clenched his fists; he really had no choice.

Just then, someone suddenly spoke loudly, "As for Changsheng Corporation, our Nan Family is interested too. How about this? You and I have a match; whoever wins takes Changsheng Corporation, how does that sound?"

The speaker was a member of the Nan Family, named Nan Wuyong, the younger brother of Nan Wudi. His strength might not compare to Nan Wudi’s, but he was not weak.

The skinny man’s brow immediately furrowed; he was no match for Nan Wuyong. Clearly, the Nan Family intended to stand up for the Hou Family.

"Nan Wuyong, this is a matter between my Wang Family and the Hou Family. Are you sure your Nan Family wants to interfere?" The skinny man asked gravely.

"Why can’t we?" Nan Wuyong countered.

"You dare to oppose my Wang Family!" The skinny man shouted.

"Hehe..." Nan Wuyong sneered, "With so many families here today, do you think you can strut around like this? What of the Wang Family, do you think you can cover the sky with one hand? My Nan Family simply isn’t scared of you!"

"Good! Good! Good!" The skinny man exclaimed thrice, but suddenly turned and leaped off the stage, saying coldly, "I won’t fight you. My Wang Family will naturally have someone to fight you!"

As soon as the skinny man jumped down, someone from the Wang Family immediately leaped onto the stage.

Seeing this person, Nan Wuyong also frowned. This man had a high status in the Wang Family, and he was very strong. Nan Wuyong had fought him several times and had been soundly defeated each time; Nan Wuyong was simply no match for him.

"Changing fighters at the last moment, this is the style of the Wang Family?" Patriarch Nan suddenly said coldly, "In that case, how about I step in to fight?"

The man from the Wang Family gave a cold smile, "Patriarch Nan, if you want to take the stage, my big brother will personally deal with you. What of Pingnan Province’s third, have you forgotten how you’ve been trampled under my big brother’s feet all these years?"

Patriarch Nan’s face grew colder. Wang Wanli’s strength was indeed stronger than his, a fact that the Wang Family flaunted everywhere. Patriarch Nan felt enraged inside, but he was indeed somewhat outclassed by Wang Wanli.

"So, what will it be, Nan Wudi? Will you come up or not?" the man asked mockingly.

Nan Wudi’s brow furrowed deep, and at that moment, Nan Wuyong spoke up, "Why should my Family Head need to bother? To deal with the likes of you, I can do it myself!"

"Fine!" the man sneered, "Since you’re seeking death, then don’t blame me!"
