Chapter 49: Ouyang Family
"Father, even if our Family's strength is greater than the Chen family's, it hasn't reached the point of overwhelming them.
The Chen family is one of the Three Great Families; their foundation is not something we can compare with. If we can't kill them with one blow,
it will cause many ripples. Therefore, relying solely on our Qin Family, it is simply impossible to annex the Chen family; we still need to borrow external help."
Qin Yuan nodded. Indeed, it wasn't just about being stronger than the Chen family to annex them; if it were that simple,
the Chen family would have been annexed long ago.
The key is that after destroying the Chen family, we must not suffer too many losses ourselves.
One must know that the City Lord and the other noble families are not useless; if the Qin Family loses too much,
those wild wolves will swarm over once they smell blood.
"Of the Four Great Families of Liu City, the Zhao family has already been destroyed, so now there are Three Great Families.
The Chen family, the Wang family, and the Ouyang Family. The Wang family is just as overbearing as the Chen family; it's impossible for them to cooperate with us.
So, the only one we can actually cooperate with now is the Ouyang Family."
Qin Ming said in a low voice.
"But the Ouyang Family Head has not been involved in affairs for many years. Why would he help us?"
Qin Yuan frowned and said.
Qin Ming laughed and said,
"Father, times have changed. It's impossible for the Ouyang Family to stay uninvolved even if they wanted to.
They swallowed up so many of the Zhao family's shops; how could they not be involved? They are merely putting on a show.
When it truly concerns the Family's interests, how could they not get involved?"
Qin Ming had lived for over ten thousand years; what kind of Family had he not seen?
Qin Ming had seen many such families that claimed to be uninvolved; the reason they didn't get involved was simply because there was no profit.
Last time the Zhao family was destroyed, didn't the 'uninvolved' Ouyang Family Head still preside over the annexation of the Zhao family's shops?
"Furthermore, the one we are moving against now is the Chen family, one of the current Three Great Families.
As soon as we take action, the entire Liu City will fall into chaos. It will be impossible for even the Ouyang Family to stay out of it."
Qin Ming said as if it were only natural.
Qin Yuan sighed and said,
"I never would have thought! My son sees things more clearly than I do. I've grown old!"
Although he said that, he was quite happy in his heart.
Having a capable son made him the happiest of all.
Qin Yuan felt as if the heavens had opened their eyes. Although the former Qin Ming was also smart, he was nowhere near this level.
His former intelligence was mostly just cleverness, but now, he is like an old monster.
If Qin Yuan hadn't been looking at his own son and felt that his intuition wasn't wrong,
he would have thought he was speaking with one of those old monsters.
"How did you come to see things so clearly?"
Qin Yuan asked curiously.
What was this? This was just the beginning.
His true skills hadn't even been displayed yet!
"This is all thanks to my Master's teaching."
Qin Ming said.
Since his Master was in the Martial King Realm and his father didn't understand Experts of that level, he could just attribute everything to his Master.
Qin Yuan nodded. Since he was taught by a Martial King, then it was normal.
"Then how should we unite with the Ouyang Family?"
Qin Yuan continued to ask.
"To get the Ouyang Family to cooperate, it boils down to two things: profit and threat."
"What profit, and what threat?"
"Profit is simple. By cooperating with our Qin Family, they will have plenty of Medicinal Pills. I believe as long as the Ouyang Family isn't stupid, they will be able to see that.
As for the threat, that's even simpler. On one hand, there is the threat from our Qin Family. Now that our Qin Family is facing off against the Chen family, if they don't stand with the Qin Family, they must stand with the Chen family.
You should know better than I what kind of people the Chen family are, Father. It's impossible for the Ouyang Family to stand on the Chen family's side."
