Chapter 997 - 991: Collaborating with the Han Family
"Cooperate with the Han Family?"
Old Master Han heard this and was slightly taken aback, then looked at Rose with a smile that was not quite a smile, saying, "Little girl, do you think you have the capital to cooperate with the Han Family? Being the ruler of Modu’s Underworld can be intimidating, but you should know that without unbeatable power to hold the ground, even the strongest forces are just paper tigers. The Han Family could wipe you out effortlessly."
Upon hearing Old Master Han’s words, Rose did not show any anger but calmly replied, "Old Master, you’re right. Given my current power, in the eyes of the Han Family, I’m indeed no different from an ant, easily crushable. But don’t forget, my man is Lu Tianxing, and he’s connected with Sima Lingyun of the Yanhuang Group; they can be considered friends. This time, those above have implicitly agreed for my man to destroy the Wang Family without intervening. I think this speaks volumes to Old Master about what it represents."
After hearing Rose’s words, Old Master Han couldn’t help but furrow his brow. Indeed, his invitation to Lu Tianxing to the Han Family had this layer of purpose—to understand what the attitude from the top and the Yanhuang Group truly was through Lu Tianxing.
After all, those above and the Yanhuang Group agree to let Lu Tianxing eradicate the Wang Family without choosing to intervene. Clearly, they have tolerated the Beijing noble families to their limit. This is definitely not good news for any family because no matter how strong a family is, it can never rival the state’s machinery.
"Little girl, what do you want to say?"
"Actually, there’s not much to say. This time, I’m following Lu Tianxing here to strike a deal with the Han Family. When the Yanhuang Group targets the noble families, I can have my man communicate with Sima Lingyun, asking him to spare the Han Family once. Of course, if Sima Lingyun doesn’t go against the Beijing noble families and collaborates with me, it would be beneficial for the Han Family too."
"Oh, you’re quite confident, little girl."
"Absolutely."
Rose smiled faintly, saying, "I wonder if you, Old Master, are aware of what’s happening in Xiangjiang?"
