Chapter 436 - 435 He is Your Brother
Everyone conceded defeat, and in the end, Su Yang, representing the Hou Family, emerged victorious.
The Hou Family was ecstatic over this triumph. With this victory, their status would further ascend. Although still incapable of shaking the likes of the super clans such as the Ye Family, Shangguan Family, Lian Family, and Huo Family, their position among the Ten Great Families would quickly rise.
Moreover, the most crucial aspect was that from now on, the Hou Family would set the rules for the underground forces across the two provinces. They would also be the ones establishing rules to resolve conflicts between the families within the provinces, and this was the most important matter.
After all, even the once-powerful Ye Family and Lian Family had never had the strength to set these rules!
Now, the Hou Family had been given this chance. Before the next Dragon Head Meeting in May, the Hou Family would rise swiftly because of this opportunity!
And all of this was brought to the Hou Family by Su Yang.
Hou Shilin’s eyes were moist. Although he took over most of the Hou Family’s affairs because of Su Yang, in truth, many within the family were not fully convinced of his leadership.
After all, his father did not hold a high position within the Family, and he himself had previously achieved nothing to command respect.
Bearing this in mind, Hou Shilin had always secretly vowed to create something of his own, to prove himself to everyone in the Family.
However, after the news of Su Yang abducting Ye Wantong spread, the three great families joined forces against the Hou Family, pushing them into a dire situation, and his leadership was questioned even more. Some even started voicing that the Hou Family should simply give up on Su Yang and Hou Shilin to preserve the Family.
Ultimately, Hou Xiangde still stood firm against the opposition, allowing Hou Shilin to continue to manage the Hou Family, continuing to support Su Yang. However, this made many within the Family even more dissatisfied with Hou Shilin.
