Chapter 225 The situation is one-sided
"Dammit, what the heck is this!" Hou Shilin cursed at the Xie Family members.
Hou Xiangde looked towards Nan Wudi and bowed, saying, "Patriarch Nan, please forgive our inability to welcome you from afar."
"We’re all family here, no need for such formalities!" Nan Wudi waved his hand, his expression slightly gloomy, and whispered to Su Yang, "Master Su, the situation this time seems a bit grim."
"What’s happened?" Su Yang asked quietly.
"I heard that the Hong Family knows they don’t stand much chance this time, so they’ve chosen to ally with the Zhao Family. The Wang and Lin Families, who have close ties with the Hong Family, are likely to support the Zhao Family as well."
Nan Wudi said somberly, "On top of that, the Zhao Family already has the support of the Zhou and Shangguan families. Moreover, since the Xie and Chen Families have conflicts with the Hou Family, I estimate that six families will now be supporting the Zhao Family. What’s left are only our Nan Family, the Qin Family, and the Ye Family."
With a sigh, Nan Wudi continued, "Patriarch Ye Zhenying of the Ye Family actually holds a pivotal position among the Ten Great Families. If he could give us his support, there might still be hope. However, the Ye Family has a good relationship with the Shangguan Family. If the Shangguan Family chooses to support the Zhao Family, then I’m afraid the Ye Family will also turn towards them."
Nan Wudi didn’t say more, but his meaning was quite clear. This time, the Hou Family’s hopes were truly slim.
Hou Xiangde’s face turned deathly pale; if they failed this time, being trampled on by the Zhao Family in the future would spell serious trouble for the Hou Family.
Su Yang, however, remained calm and said nothing.
"Regardless, my Nan Family will absolutely support Master Su!" Nan Wudi declared. "This time, I will definitely confront them to the very end!"
