Chapter 327: Making a Scene

"Let's go, it's time to settle the matters of Chenyang City." Qin Ming led the rest of the people outside.

Jue Wuya said, "How should we begin?"

"Let's start with the Zhang Family. We've visited both the Zhang Family and the Qu Family. The Zhang Family truly is a Family with a long history; their residence is much better than the Qu Family's."

"Moreover, the Zhang Family's Direct Line has all died. It would be a waste to leave such a large residence empty, so I've decided to move the Qin Family into the Zhang Family residence," Qin Ming said with a smile.

After Zhang Wan was captured by them, they killed him once they had questioned him about the Family's assets. They announced to the public that Zhang Wan had died of fright, and no one doubted it—or rather, even if they did, there was nothing they could do.

Jue Wuya nodded and said, "It is indeed necessary to first determine the Family's residence. In the entire Chenyang City, only the residences of the former Three Major Families are acceptable. The Zhang Family has the longest history and the best residence, so choosing the Zhang Family is for the best."

"Choosing the residence first, besides solving the Family's living arrangements, also sends a signal to the Powers in Chenyang City," Qin Ming smiled. "A signal that the Qin Family is moving into Chenyang City."

"What is your attitude toward the other families in Chenyang City?" Jue Wuya asked.

"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me shall perish." Qin Ming's eyebrows arched upward. "Chenyang City must be completely under our control. Firstly, the Huayu Sect cannot be exposed, and secondly, Chenyang City will be much safer once it is fully controlled."

Only with a city under his complete control could Qin Ming better arrange his plans.

Just like Liu City, the current Liu City was filled with Qin Ming's eyes and ears. If any stranger appeared, Qin Ming would receive the news immediately.

Of course, most strangers were left to his subordinates to monitor. Qin Ming only took special notice of those powerful Martial Artists with ill intentions.

Jue Wuya nodded; he understood Qin Ming's character very well.

Qin Ming did not distinguish between good and bad in his heart. As long as it did not involve his Family or the Huayu Sect, he was still quite easy to talk to.

But once it concerned the security of his Family, he would not leave even the slightest hidden danger.

As they were speaking, Qin Ming and Jue Wuya arrived at the Zhang Family residence.

"Young Master!" There were two guards stationed at the Zhang Family residence. These two guards were Servants trained by the Qin Family, and they were quite respectful upon seeing Qin Ming.

Qin Ming nodded. "Has anything happened?"

"A few members of the Zhang Family are making a scene nearby. No matter how we try to drive them away, they won't leave. They claim you stole their residence and want to seek justice," the guard said helplessly, glancing to the side.

"Oh?" Hearing the guard's words, Qin Ming narrowed his eyes and looked toward the side. "Are these the people making a scene?"

Five Young Martial Artists were standing nearby. Seeing Qin Ming's gaze, they all shivered.

"It's them," the guard said.

Qin Ming nodded and strode toward those Young Martial Artists.

Seeing Qin Ming approach, the Young Martial Artists retreated a few steps in fear.

"Are you the ones making a scene?" Qin Ming asked.

A Martial Artist with a scar on his face stepped forward, puffed out his chest, and said, "We aren't making a scene. We just want to seek justice."

"Seek justice?" Qin Ming laughed. "What justice do you want? I've already paid Spirit Stones for the Zhang Family residence. Why do you want it back after the Spirit Stones have been accepted? Or do you think the Spirit Stones I gave were too few?"

"Neither," the Scarred Martial Artist said. "We want to take back the property of our Zhang Family. Our Zhang Family has been rooted in Chenyang City for so many years and has countless Spirit Stones and resources. Since Zhang Wan was in your hands for a long time, most of the Zhang Family's wealth must have ended up with you."

"You want to take back the Zhang Family's wealth? Go find whoever took it; why come to me?" Qin Ming said sternly. "Zhang Wan died of fright long ago. I merely collected the bodies for your Zhang Family, and yet you actually suspect me?"},{
