CHAPTER 493 THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LEGEND

A legend!

Gao Bin had become a legend in Shenghai.

From now on, Shenghai only had one Gao family, and the Su family and Zuo family no longer existed.

But only Gao Yali and Gao Bin knew what really happened.

What was this nonsense about being a legend?

The truth behind this legend was a god!

A god that nobody dared to offend or cross!

Even Gao Bin shuddered when he thought of how terrifying Jiang Ning's ability was. He wasn't human at all. Could humans become so strong?

"Sis, what are we going to do now?" This was a question that worried Gao Bin.

The Su family and Zuo family had fallen overnight. Su Mingwei and Su Mingchang, as well as the remnant of the Zuo family, had all escaped to the north overnight.

Soon enough, the two families would disappear completely from Shenghai.

The Gao family had survived, but how were they going to continue living?

If they chose the wrong path, Jiang Ning wouldn't give them a chance at all.

"We'll follow Donghai's model."

Gao Yali had thought about this for an entire night.

She still couldn't understand what Jiang Ning was trying to do. That sort of man was clearly planning something huge, and it wasn't something that she could understand on her own.

But since Donghai had become a forbidden territory as well as a rapidly advancing city, that meant that Donghai had taken the right path.

As long as they followed in Jiang Ning's footsteps, then there would be no problem.

At least they would stay alive.

Gao Yali knew very well that Jiang Ning wasn't looking for a spokesperson, unlike the game that those powerful families in the north was playing.

What he needed were people to protect social order. To protect the ordinary folks right at the bottom of society.

Jiang Ning found out about everything that happened in Shenghai on his way back.

He didn't care about how the Gao family was. As long as the two siblings were intelligent enough, they would know what to do.

"Now all of Shenghai knows that the Gao family is the most powerful one and will become the leader and controller of Shenghai's illegal circle," said Huang Yuming. "But nobody knows that the one behind all of this is you."

"Some people will guess it right," replied Jiang Ning calmly. "Butthat's not important now."

At the same time.

The commotion in Shenghai had caused a huge uproar in the north.

This was even more shocking than Donghai and Shengcheng's uprising, and more shocking than when Master Fu died or when Broken Sword wreaked havoc in the north.

The Gao family had survived despite being destined to perish.

The Su family and Zuo family had vanished overnight despite joining hands to destroy the Gao family.

This was practically a miracle. Belonging to .

It was unbelievable.

"What on earth is going on?"

At the Song house in the north.

The Song family knew all about this combined effort to destroy the Gao family. In fact, a lot of the information the Zuo family had came from them.

They thought that they were definitely going to win and they would take a cut of Shenghai's resources once it was split between the Zuo family and the Su family. But things turned out so differently from what they had expected.

All the important family members of the Song family were in the living room and their expressions were grim.

Standing in front of them was Zuo Chunqiu's third son, Zuo Sanqian. He had been lucky enough to escape and he looked a complete mess.

"Mr Song, you have to help the Zuo family!" He fell to his knees with a thud and tears streamed down his face. "My father and my uncle all died at Gao Bin's hands, and my brothers..."

Zuo Sanqian cried miserably as he kowtowed to the head of the Song family, Song Weiming. His head knocked against the floor again and again.

"Get up," Song Weiming frowned. "What happened, tell me exactly what happened!"

"I...I don't really know either," Zuo Sanqian clenched his teeth. "My family joined hands with the Su family, and my brothers went with the Su family's top three young and highly skilled fighters to destroy the Gao family. But in the end, all six of them died!"

The expressions of the Song family members changed.

The Song family and the Tie family had allowed the Zuo family and Su family to rely on them respectively because these two powerful families had pulled out their trump cards to prove themselves.

Each family had three young and highly skilled fighters, which meant that their backers in the north were assured of a spokesperson in Shenghai for the next few decades. These young people were capable and stable, so they would be able to reap sufficient benefits for the families in the north.

But now they were all dead!

"Gao Bin...some say that Gao Bin had hidden his true capabilities and that he was actually at grandmaster level, so he managed to kill off the six fighters and also annihilated my family and the Su family!"

Zuo Sanqian was shuddering as he said these words.

He had witnessed how Gao Bin had used his steel bats to smash his own father's head.

The entire Song family fell silent.

A grandmaster would be feared even in the north. Who could deal with Gao Bin in Shenghai now?

They had miscalculated their move.

I don't think it's Gao Bin.¹

Suddenly a voice spoke out softly from one corner of the room. "Someone else probably killed those six young and highly skilled fighters."

Everyone immediately turned to look at the person who spoke.
