CHAPTER 829 COMPANY IN DANGER

Long Xiang never thought that things would turn out like this.

This wasn't the first person calling him already.

Did they all think that the Long family was really the one who destroyed eight second tier families in one night?

It was true that the Long family was capable of doing this. But even if they were, they wouldn't do something that would make all the other families turn against them like this.

To put it simply, the north was a place that did everything for the sake of benefits.

Everyone in this region aimed to gain the most benefits they could. The Long family and the other three supremely powerful families were the strongest four in terms of gaining benefits.

But it didn't mean that they could do anything they wanted.

There were more than a hundred powerful families in the north, and even though some were really small and rather insignificant compared to the supremely powerful families, they could be a real threat if they decided to join hands.

In the past, Long Xiang never worried about them. Everyone's interests were in different areas, and some of them had conflicts of interests and not everybody stood on the same side.

But now?

Someone had forcibly made the Long family everybody's enemy, and had forced all those insignificant powerful families to join hands!

One or two ants couldn't do much. But when a lot of ants got together, then they became a real menace.

Even if they didn't manage to kill you, they would make sure you were bleeding all over and your bones might even be exposed.

Would the other three supremely powerful families just sit there and watch?

They wouldn't!

Long Xiang was very sure that there were a lot of people watching the Long family's movements right outside his own courtyard.

The situation had become very serious.

"Master Long, there are many people asking if the Long family is going to become the king of the north and they want to become allies with the Long family."

“Some people have come to ask for forgiveness, saying that they had unwittingly offended the Long family before and would like you to forgive them, they're kneeling outside."

"Master Long, the market value of some of our businesses have suddenly soared, this..."

Long Xiang's expression became grimmer as he heard these reports.

These were reports that should have made him happy, but they only made him more and more worried now. Things had started to get out of hand and he never expected things to suddenly change so quickly.

He never thought that the people from Donghai would be so vicious and so quick to act.

"Where's Long Fei?" yelled Long Xiang. "Where is he now?"

"Master Long, Young Master Long is at Linglong Group."

"Tell him to come back right now!"

Long Xiang knew that things were getting complicated. If this went on, the Long family would become the common enemy of the north, and this matter would be very difficult to resolve.

Long Xiang wasn't afraid even if another supremely powerful family tried to attack him. But if all the powerful families were angry at the same time and decided to join hands to attack the Long family, that could prove fatal to the Long family.

Meanwhile.

Long Fei was in Linglong Group trying to sort matters out. He was also at a loss and his expression was grim and nasty looking.

"Not a single one of these documents from fourteen different departments have been approved? What is going on?"

"Mr Long, all the department heads have taken leave."

Long Fei slammed the table and yelled, "When did they take leave?! Why was I not informed? I didn't approve their leave!"

"This..."

The secretary didn't know how to put it across either.

Didn't Long Fei know how Linglong Group operated? If these people didn't want to turn up for work or didn't even want to work, Long Fei couldn't do anything about it.

Linglong Group was made up of nearly twenty different departments handling different industries. They were one group, but they also operated separately.

The department heads all came from different powerful families and were working to gain benefits for themselves and not for the Long family. They were most certainly not working to benefit Long Fei.

They wouldn't listen to anything Long Fei said.

"Tell them to come back right now and settle all these documents!"

How could Long Fei not be angry?

In just one day, Linglong Group's internal operations had become a mess. Many projects were unable to continue and if this went on, even day to day operations would become a problem.

The company was not far from completely falling apart.
