Chapter 1574: Revealing One’s Innermost Thoughts
The Nine Heavens Tower backs onto the Nine Heavens Dark Web, and behind the Nine Heavens Dark Web stands the Shen Clan.
Although the Qian and Shen families are considered Xia Country’s two major Merchants Families.
From the recent contact with Qian Jinming, Su Chengyu has begun to understand that there must be an inseparable relationship between these two families.
One dominates within the country, and the other oversees matters overseas.
No wonder there’s hardly any significant conflict over their respective areas of responsibility—perhaps this is the result of an agreement between the two families.
Su Chengyu only sees that there isn’t much overt connection between the two families, and the only reason he could think of is due to the Xia Country’s official stance.
Xia Country would absolutely not allow a single powerful family to have a real influence that extends over the entire country.
The Shen Clan is Xia Country’s means to counterbalance the Qian family, and both Qian and Shen families tacitly play roles that will definitely not threaten Xia Country.
This alone suffices to illustrate how terrifying the influence of the Qian and Shen families truly is.
The Nine Ancient Tribes can still set up a somewhat vague alliance in front of Xia Country.
But neither the Qian nor Shen family dares to show any sign of forming coalitions against the government; this alone speaks volumes.
