Chapter 473: Hearing Hallucinations?
Patriarch Liu’s hand suddenly flipped, Primordial Energy swirled, and the document in his hand instantly turned to dust amidst his anger.
"Patriarch! We must teach the Zhang Family a harsh lesson. This Zhang Yibing, his brain must be filled with water. I really don’t know where he gets the courage to even think about making the Zhang Family leave ours!" said the Seventh Elder of the Liu Family, his voice laced with sinister tones.
For the Zhang Family to break away from the Liu Family was not just a matter of losing an affiliated family.
The bigger issue was the Liu Family’s reputation.
The Zhang Family had been an affiliated family of the Liu’s, and their sudden announcement of leaving the Liu Family would make other powers within Haofeng City see the Liu Family as a laughingstock. People would say, look, the Liu Family can’t even control an affiliated family. What kind of future can such a family have?
As a top-tier family within the city, the importance of face did not need to be overstated.
"I know what Zhang Yibing is thinking!"
"Recently, the Song Family has been putting extreme pressure on his Zhang Family in business, and he is dissatisfied because it seemed we the Liu Family had no intention of intervening. Heh, so he thinks to express his dissatisfaction with the Liu Family in this manner?"
"He is wrong! Terribly wrong! Hmph, even if the Zhang Family isn’t truly planning to leave the control of the Liu Family this time, they must still be taught a lesson. To think they can threaten the Liu Family? Heh!" A sharp light flashed in Patriarch Liu’s eyes.
"Patriarch, I will assemble our men immediately! If we don’t show that Zhang Yibing some color, he’ll really think the Zhang Family can compete with ours? Utter fools!" The Seventh Elder said, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
"Mmm. Seventh Elder, go ahead. You will handle this matter. If we don’t make the Zhang Family kneel and beg for mercy this time, we won’t demonstrate the might of our Liu Family! I will personally talk to the City Lord," Patriarch Liu said with a cold laugh.
In his view, it was highly unlikely that the City Lord would continue to protect the Zhang Family.
