Chapter 101: Changes in Liu City

"Truly, heroes are born in youth." Watching Qin Ming leave, Qin Yuan couldn't help but feel old.

He viewed this crisis as a grave matter, yet Qin Ming appeared indifferent; clearly, Qin Ming had been confident from the very beginning.

Qin Ming simply did not take this trivial matter to heart.

However, at the thought that Qin Ming was his own son, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He wasn't old yet; it was just that his son was too formidable, surpassing him completely.

To have raised such a clever son—others could only envy him.

Meanwhile, the Chen Family and the Wang Family also received news that the Qin Family was relocating, and they hurriedly rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

"You have arrived?" Seeing the Chen Family Head and the Wang Family Head arrive together, the City Lord was not surprised.

He stood up and said:

"We are currently eating; would you like to have some as well?"

The Servant of the City Lord's Mansion had already begun preparing bowls and chopsticks for the Chen Family Head and the Wang Family Head, and proceeded to fill their cups with wine.

The Chen Family Head and the Wang Family Head took their seats accordingly; they naturally knew that matters were easier to discuss over a dining table.

"City Lord, both of you, you should be aware that the Qin Family is relocating, right? Should we pursue them or not?"

The Chen Family Head asked.

He hated the Qin Family to the bone and naturally wanted to pursue them, but his Family clearly lacked the Power, which was why he now had to seek help from these individuals.

"I don't think it is necessary! Since they have already left, we can just divide up the Qin Family's assets in Liu City.

This way, we avoid conflict and still reap the benefits; isn't that wonderful?"

City Lord Qian looked at the Chen Family Head and said.

To him, it made no difference whether it was the Qin Family or the Chen Family.

As long as there were benefits, he was willing to cooperate with anyone.

Now that the Qin Family had left, he could reclaim his own Shop and also carve up what the Qin Family had left behind.

Why not do it? Why continue to drive them to extinction?

"No!"

The two Men in Black said in unison.

One of the Men in Black explained further:

"We came here this time to kill that Grand Alchemist. Now that the person is not dead, how can we just stop?"

Their mission was to kill that old man; as for the rest, it was merely a matter of each taking what they needed.

If they did not pursue the Qin Family now, where would they find the opportunity to kill the target of their mission?

"I also believe we should pursue them!" At this moment, the Wang Family Head sitting to the side said:

"We have forced the Qin Family into a miserable state this time. I do not have the habit of letting a tiger return to the mountains. Since we have already offended them so deeply, why not just go all the way and keep them all in Liu City."

"This way, we can eliminate future trouble, and secondly, we can deter other small Powers in Liu City."

There were five people discussing, and four had already agreed to the pursuit.

The City Lord thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Go! I will go too!"

He had no choice but to go; if he did not, perhaps after these people finished off the Qin Family, they would team up to deal with him.

In the past, Liu City was ruled by the Four Great Families, but now the Four Great Families were a thing of the past; the Ouyang Family had left, the Zhao Family had perished, and if the Wang Family and the Chen Family were to join forces…

They could completely control the entire Liu City, and at that point, there would be no place for him as City Lord.

While he was the City Lord and an official figure, and they might not kill him, they could still imprison him and turn him into a Puppet City Lord.

Since everyone agreed to pursue the Qin Family, it was better to act sooner rather than later, and the group immediately began to prepare.
