Chapter 148: Waiting for Death

"Have you looked over the intelligence I told you to collect?"

The Wang Family Head asked in return.

"Father, I have looked over all of it,"

the Young Man said.

Nodding with satisfaction, the Wang Family Head said:

"Then, you should be aware of the internal conflict within the Ouyang Family.

The Ouyang Family Head is old, and none of his sons are promising; he wants to abdicate now.

Yet, there is no successor among the younger generation capable of taking over. However, the Ouyang Family Head still retains his prestige, so even though his sons are inwardly filled with all sorts of dissatisfaction, they cannot say anything.

But once they are given an opportunity, they will stop at nothing.

Power makes people lose their way!"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? A Great Martial Master is the Foundation of a Family. If the Ouyang Family Head falls, who will support the entire Ouyang Family?"

The Young Man said uncertainly.

"What if there are no Great Martial Masters in the entire Liu City?"

the Wang Family Head said.

"Right now, whoever controls the entire Liu City and collects its resources will very likely have a Breakthrough to the Grand Martial Master Realm.

With the resources of the entire Liu City, it wouldn't be difficult for someone at the Peak of the Martial Master Realm to achieve a Breakthrough, would it?

As long as they see the hope of obtaining Liu City, someone will eventually do it."

On one side is familial affection, and on the other is the Grand Martial Master Realm and the entire Liu City.

How will the Ouyang Family's sons choose?

As long as one of them harbors evil intentions, the Ouyang Family will be doomed beyond salvation!

Thinking of this, the Wang Family Head looked at the lake in front of him, lost in deep thought.

The Young Man before him also felt his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

Comparing the Grand Martial Master Realm and the entire Liu City to his own father.

What kind of test were the Ouyang Family Head's sons about to face?

And in the intelligence he had gathered, some were already starting to become dissatisfied with the Ouyang Family Head.

His father's strategy had indeed struck the Ouyang Family's weak point with a single blow.

"Then Father, I will go and prepare!" the Young Man said respectfully.

In the past, his father was responsible for all Family matters, and he only assisted. Now that his father had been crippled, he had to handle everything.

Only now did he realize how difficult it was to support a Family.

He also understood how vast and deep his father's wisdom was.

"Go! You are my only son, the Wang Family is yours!"

the Wang Family Head said.

The Young Man bowed deeply to the Wang Family Head and slowly retreated.

For the sake of the entire Wang Family, his father had voluntarily allowed himself to be crippled; what a grand spirit that was.

The entire Wang Family was convinced by his father, himself included.

All the Families in Liu City were plunged into a busy state, and because of the second-grade Cloud Iron Mine, a large number of Martial Artists flooded into Liu City.

For a time, the entire Liu City was in total chaos.

The Qin Family was unable to protect itself, having neither the energy nor the Power to manage the entire Liu City.

This caused Liu City to become even more chaotic.

Qin Ming hid in his room all day, not stepping out of the house.

Qin Qing also dared not leave the Qin Family for the past few days; even she, as slow-witted as she was, knew that the entire Liu City was extremely dangerous right now.

The Qin Family, at the center of the storm, appeared calm on the surface, but everyone knew that when the Sima Family attacked, it would be the day the Qin Family perished.

Flee?

If the Qin Family was gone, where could they flee to?

The Power of the Sima Family was not something they could imagine.

Once the Qin Family was annihilated, unless everyone in the Qin Family fled to the ends of the earth, they would absolutely not escape the Sima Family's pursuit.

Several Elders of the Qin Family gathered from time to time to discuss countermeasures.

But no matter how much they discussed, there was no better solution.

The most painful thing was not death, but the process of waiting for it.
