CHAPTER 754 DIE TOGETHER
This was the path that the Wu family had to go down. Even if it cost him his life, Wu Hongwei wasn't going to let the efforts from the past few generations go down the drain.
He rejected Zhou Shen's proposal. He would rather die fighting the Song family than to rely on a first tier family.
The two parties had gone separate ways unhappily. Zhou Shen left the Wu house, while Wu Hongwei slowly calmed down.
In such times, it was most important to remain calm.
"Where's Yang Xu?" he looked up and asked.
"Master Wu, Yang Xu...has lost consciousness, I'm not sure when he will come to," replied the butler very cautiously.
Wu Hongwei was the one who ordered his men to break Yang Xu's limbs, and now he was looking for Yang Xu?
Why did Wu Hongwei still stick around in
the banquet hall earlier?
If he had listened to Yang Xu, then the Wu family wouldn't become the joke of the north now.
But the butler dared not say any of these things out loud.
"Useless thing!” Wu Hongwei was angry, frustrated and indignant.
But there was nothing he could do.
He didn't even know where Jiang Ning came from or who he was.
He had been in the north for so many years but he had never seen Jiang Ning before. He had never heard of such a terrifyingly powerful fighter in the Song family before either.
But what puzzled Wu Hongwei the most was why a fighter who was even more powerful than a grandmaster would choose to remain in the Song family.
There were nearly ten first tier families.
Could they have offered him less?
But surely even those four supremely powerful families would be fighting for someone like this too.
As long as that highly skilled fighter was around, the Wu family could forget about trying to salvage their reputation. If he went to attack the Song family again, he would definitely return in shame.
"ARRRGGHHHH!!!” Wu Hongwei was indignant and helpless at the same time. He felt like he was going mad soon and started roaring to vent his frustration.
"I'm sure I'll find a way!” His expression was dark and his nails were going to cut into his own skin. "The moment I find a chance, I'll definitely make your lives a living hell!"
Meanwhile.
Zhou Shen had returned to the Zhou house. He was furious.
"Kneel down now!
Zhou Fang didn't dare to utter a single word and just knelt down in the main hall. Nobody spoke up for him.
Even his indulgent mother knew that Zhou Fang had made a terrible mistake this time round, so nothing anyone said would help.
"You've completely ruined the Zhou family!"
He slapped Zhou Fang across the face. Zhou Fang's mouth was filled with blood but he still dared not make a single noise. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"All the efforts that generation after generation has put in have been completely destroyed by you! You little bastard!"
Zhou Shen got angrier and angrier. He punched and kicked Zhou Fang until he was almost dead before he stopped.
The Zhou family had suffered as badly as the Wu family.
The powerful families of the north were not afraid of losing resources or status because there was a chance to earn those back.
What they feared the most was losing their prestige and their pride!
But they had lost them all tonight!
Father and son had both knelt before the young Song Xiaoyu and begged for forgiveness.
Now Song Xiaoyu was famous and wielded authority. But what about the Wu family and the Zhou family?
Zhou Shen couldn't be bothered with what would happen to the Wu family. He was only thinking about how to restore the Zhou family's prestige.
"Drag this eyesore out of here!”
He glanced with disgust at the unconscious Zhou Fang.
He took a few deep breaths and calmed down. He had reached a decision.
"Even if I can't become a first tier family, it's not bad to remain within the second tier." He clenched his teeth and said, "I can't let everything that belongs to the Zhou family be ruined in my hands!"
He immediately got up and left the house without even bringing a bodyguard along.
At the Chang house.
There were fewer than ten families in the north that were considered first tier families. The four supremely powerful families controlled 70% of the resources of the north, while these first tier families controlled about half of the rest!
They were considered to be of high standing, and were just below the four supremely powerful families.
Even though in terms of standing and power, first tier families were not far off from the supremely powerful families, they just couldn't move from their tier into the next highest category.
In order to become a supremely powerful family, a vacancy had to exist first. There were only four vacancies, and no more than that.
The Chang family was not the most powerful among the first tier families, but they had done many things recently and had been very active.
Right now.
Zhou Shen was standing in a study room with his body slightly bowed. His posture was very respectful, as if he was here to see an elder.
He didn't dare to be disrespectful at all.
