Chapter 432 - 428 Thunder Operation
Compared to the Wan Family who were treating the situation as a great emergency and being extremely cautious, the Fang Family didn’t take it seriously at all when they first learned that the newly appointed District Chief was targeting them.
After all, wasn’t the relationship between Fang Butong, the Fang Family Patriarch, and Fang Yan Martial Saint well known in Wind and Rain City?
It wasn’t just District Master Gu Jinlai as a Deputy District Chief; even Fang Jianfei, the District Chief who rarely involved himself in affairs, had to give face to their Fang Family.
Fang Butong was only thinking about finding an opportunity to invite Gu Jinlai for a meal; as long as they could save face, that would be good enough.
With this mentality, Fang Butong continued with his routine of eating and drinking, without a hint of the vigilance he ought to have had.
Until...
"Brother, it’s terrible, something very bad has happened."
A middle-aged man ran in with a panicked expression: "We just received news that an hour ago, the new head of the Law Enforcement Court, Manor Master Gu, stormed into the Wan Family home, slaughtering all the senior members, and even Wan Tianlie from the Inner City Wan Family fell by his hand... He... He really did it."
Fang Butong was stunned and then suddenly stood up, "Are you telling the truth!? He destroyed the Wan Family, killed Wan Tianlie? I know Wan Tianlie; his combat strength is no less than that of a High-level Martial King. Even I am slightly inferior to him. Gu Jinlai is said to possess masterful swordsmanship, but even with excellent swordsmanship, at best he would only have High-level Martial King strength. How could he possibly kill Wan Tianlie?"
"Absolutely true, and moreover, according to our informants in the Law Enforcement Court, after destroying the Wan Family, he headed straight for our Fang Family, to settle an old score with the Wang Family," the middle-aged man said.
