Chapter 292: Framing

Outside the Zhang Family residence, the Qu Family Head watched the gathering Zhang Family Martial Artists, waiting expressionlessly.

Despite the increasing number of Zhang Family Martial Artists, the Qu Family Head's expression remained unchanged, though he was secretly observing the Martial Artists at the Peak of the Grand Martial Master Realm.

Soon, the Zhang Family Head walked out.

"Qu Family Head, I do not know why you have come to my Zhang Family?" the Zhang Family Head asked in a deep voice.

The Qu Family Head gave a cold laugh and said, "That is for you to answer. Robbing my Ziyun Auction House was not enough, and you even robbed several shops. What is the meaning of this?"

"When did we, the Zhang Family, ever rob your Qu Family's shops?" the Zhang Family Head retorted. "On the contrary, our Zhang Family's shops were also robbed yesterday. Was it your Qu Family who sent people to do it?"

"Your Zhang Family only lost one shop, while we, the Qu Family, have lost so many shops and so many people have died! That one shop of yours is worth nothing!" Qu Shengtao could not help but stand out and say.

"What? Do you still want to crawl back empty-handed?" Seeing Qu Shengtao, Zhang Wan immediately stepped out to mock him.

It is said that one must not lose face even if they lose the fight; the battle hasn't even started yet! One must absolutely not lose their Aura.

"You…" Qu Shengtao pointed at Zhang Wan's nose.

"Enough!" the Qu Family Head said. "Zhang Family Head, were my Qu Family's shops truly not robbed by you?"

"No!" the Zhang Family Head affirmed.

The Qu Family Head looked into the Zhang Family Head's eyes and asked carefully, "My Qu Family's shops, were they truly not robbed by you?"

The Zhang Family Head still affirmed, "No!"

"Then was the Ziyun Auction House not robbed by your Zhang Family's Zhang Wan?" the Qu Family Head said fiercely.

"This!" The Zhang Family Head hesitated. Hardening his heart, the Zhang Family Head shouted, "Zhang Wan, you brat, get out here!"

Hearing his grandfather's roar, Zhang Wan was stunned for a moment before walking out.

"Kneel!" the Zhang Family Head roared.

Zhang Wan knelt down helplessly.

"Qu Family Head, Zhang Wan was ignorant and robbed the Ziyun Auction House. Our Zhang Family will compensate for all losses!" the Zhang Family Head said in a deep voice.

"It really was the Zhang Family. I knew it, if it wasn't the Zhang Family, who else could it be? In this entire Chenyang City, only the Zhang Family and the Qu Family have the qualifications to take action."

"They killed so many of our people, and they think saying 'compensate' is enough? How can they compensate for the lives lost?"

"Exactly! And what about the reputation of the Ziyun Auction House? The reputation of an Auction House is something money cannot buy. How will they compensate for that?"

"…"

All the Qu Family Martial Artists began to discuss, while the Zhang Family's Clan Members and Martial Artists, looking at Zhang Wan kneeling on the ground, felt disdain in their hearts. This Zhang Wan was incapable of accomplishing anything and only caused trouble.

"Zhang Wan, you have a lot of nerve, daring to kill so many of our Qu Family's Martial Artists and robbing so many shops. I think you have a death wish. Just because you are the only seedling of the Zhang Family, you act lawlessly!" Qu Shengtao stood out and mocked loudly.

In the entire Zhang Family, there was only one person in the third generation of the Direct Line, Zhang Wan, which resulted in Zhang Wan's habit of causing trouble.

"I…" Zhang Wan wanted to explain, but found that no matter what he said, it didn't seem to make sense, and he didn't know where to start.

"Then, Zhang Family Head, how do you propose to compensate for the Martial Artists who died in my shops?" the Qu Family Head asked coldly.

The Zhang Family Head said, "We only robbed your Ziyun Auction House. The other shops were not robbed by our Zhang Family. Do not frame the Zhang Family."

"If it wasn't your Zhang Family, then who else could it be?" the Qu Family Head retorted, while staring intensely at the Zhang Family Head.
