CHAPTER 725 MAXIMUM SECURITY
The Zhou family and the Wu family controlled one gantry each.
Right now, they weren't fighting for themselves anymore. They were just trying to protect their interests. And the Lin Group they were up against might very well be the Long family.
The heads of both families, Zhou Shen and Wu Hongwei were seated across from one another. owns all © content.
They didn't look worried at all.
"Besides the skilled fighters I've arranged for, I also have six more external sources of help," said Wu Hongwei calmly. "Even if a supremely powerful family wants to attack me, they'll have to weigh the consequences carefully first!"
If they were up against only the gantry that the Wu family guarded, then that wouldn't be much a problem. But now they were up against two. As long as they failed to take down either one, they would have lost.
Zhou Shen laughed. "I didn't expect Lin
Group to be backed by the Long family. It's really a surprise to me."
"Are you surprised?" Wu Hongwei shook his head. "I'm not surprised at all."
"I already guessed that Donghai must have been able to rise so suddenly because they were backed by one of the supremely powerful families in the north. Otherwise, who could become so strong?"
He scoffed. He already had his suspicions when Shengcheng went through a major overhaul and Broken Sword had killed his way through the north.
There were so many signs pointing to the Long family as the mastermind.
They probably wanted to fully take control of Linglong Group.
They wanted to keep all the benefits for themselves.
They wanted to get rid of all their opponents and become the most powerful of the supremely powerful families?
"Too bad, they're going to fall in our hands!"
Zhou Shen and Wu Hongwei both burst out laughing loudly.
Who still couldn't figure out what the Long family was trying to do by now?
They were clearly using Lin Group to clear out all the threats within Linglong Group. They were going to make Linglong Group entirely theirs, and claim it as the Long family's.
But this wasn't going to be easy.
Linglong Group did start off as a company that wholly belonged to the Long family.
But because Linglong Group wanted to expand, it had to pay the price in exchange for more resources. It had grown into such a huge conglomerate because of all the years of exchanging resources and benefits.
Did anyone really think that Long Ling'er was a genius? HA!
And now the Long family wanted to burn bridges with everyone?
They would need to ask the other powerful families for permission first!
Would the other supremely powerful families just watch the Long family become more powerful and even possibly become the most terrifying supremely powerful family of them all?
Wu Hongwei narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhou Shen. "As long as we stop Lin Group, that would be as good as breaking the fangs of the Long family. What can they do after that?"
"And of course, now that the Long family has revealed their true motives, I suppose a lot of people must be furious with them."
He gleefully added on, "When that happens, we don't even need to do anything. The other supremely powerful families aren't going to let the Long family off easily."
When the time came for everyone to push this big wall down, even if the Long family wasn't completely destroyed, they would sustain severe injuries.
And if the Long family was really destroyed, then second tier families like theirs had a chance!
Zhou Shen's lips curled into a smug smile when he heard these words.
Of course he knew all this.
The two families were guarding the last two gantries. But they weren't guarding them by themselves. There were so many others who supported them secretly.
The Long family was destined to go down.
The tools they had, Lin Group and Donghai, were also definitely going to be destroyed!
The two of them looked at one another and laughed loudly in excitement. They even started making tea leisurely.
According to their arrangements, Lin Group had no way of breaking through the last two gantries. Even if they could get through one, they would suffer tremendous losses and would be unable to get through the other one.
As long as Lin Group couldn't enter the northern market, then the Long family's beautiful plan would be ruined.
Night slowly fell.
There was nobody on the streets of Linshan and Bei'an, where the two gantries were.
It was as if a storm was coming, and everyone could sense it, so they didn't dare to go out late at night.
There was a murderous feeling in the air along the streets, and it was very oppressive.
Now and then you would see a few men patrolling the streets as a small team.
Their expressions were very cold and they emanated an intense murderous air around them.
"If a few more highly skilled fighters join us, then Linshan's illegal circle is probably the most powerful in the north." A few men were chatting away while walking, and their voices were smug.
"Who would dare to come here and make trouble? And they hope to get through this gantry? They can dream on!”
"Did you hear about it? Even more highly skilled fighters have headed for Bei'an. I even heard there's a fighter from one of the supremely powerful families...it's a really powerful fighter at grandmaster level!"
