Chapter 89: News Brought by the Ouyang Family Head
“Qin Ming is right; he hit the nail on the head immediately.”
Qin Yuan came back to his senses and said:
“Regardless of what the City Lord and the Chen Family are up to, in the end, it all comes down to strength. What we should be doing right now is consolidating our strength.
Everything else is secondary. No matter how many schemes the City Lord and the Chen Family have, they will be useless in the face of absolute strength.”
“That’s right! We don’t need to worry so much; guessing back and forth is useless.
The most important thing for us right now is to gather our strength.”
Several Elders also responded.
Since they couldn’t guess what the Chen Family and the City Lord were doing, they had no choice but to face it calmly.
Just then, a servant from the Qin Family came to report that the Ouyang Family Head had arrived for a visit.
“Hurry and invite him in!” Qin Yuan said loudly.
At such a critical moment, the Ouyang Family coming over clearly meant they intended to help the Qin Family.
The Ouyang Family Head walked in with several Elders.
“Greetings, Family Head Qin.”
“Family Head Ouyang, please, take a seat of honor.”
Qin Yuan said hurriedly; if it weren’t for the fact that a guest couldn’t sit in the seat of honor, he would have loved to give up the main seat.
The Ouyang Family Head casually found a few seats, sat down, and asked:
“Family Head Qin, what is your take on the alliance between the Chen Family, the City Lord, and the Wang Family this time?”
“An alliance?” Several people looked at each other in dismay.
“Don’t you know that the Chen Family, the City Lord, and the Wang Family already formed an alliance this morning?”
The Ouyang Family Head asked, puzzled.
“Ahem… We in the Qin Family truly do not know!”
Qin Yuan said awkwardly.
While it was true that the Qin Family was one of the Four Great Families of Liu City, they didn’t have an intelligence network as good as the old-established Ouyang Family.
The Ouyang Family could obtain such important news, but the Qin Family lacked the capability.
The Ouyang Family Head also realized that the Qin Family’s foundation was shallow, so it was normal for them not to have received the news.
“Then what were you gathered here to discuss?”
“To tell you the truth, we received news that the Chen Family and the City Lord went to the Wang Family together, but we didn’t know what they were discussing.”
Qin Yuan said frankly.
The Ouyang Family Head nodded:
“I have received confirmed news that the Chen, Wang, and City Lord, these three parties, have already formed an alliance.”
Hearing the confirmed news, the expressions of Qin Yuan and the others changed.
With the three Major Powers allied, how could the Qin Family cope?
Even with the addition of the Ouyang Family, they would still be unable to fight against those three families.
“I also received news that the City Lord sent soldiers yesterday to search for the two Men in Black who attacked your Qin Family, and I heard they have already been found.”
The Ouyang Family Head did not wait for the Qin Family to digest that explosive news before dropping another bombshell.
Upon hearing this news, Qin Father and the various Qin Family Elders slumped directly into their chairs.
Seeing the reaction of the Qin Family members, the Ouyang Family Head shook his head. The reason he notified the Qin Family was to let them be mentally prepared.
He hadn’t come to discuss countermeasures; in the face of absolute strength, no countermeasures were useful.
“The Wang Family is as formidable as ever! They don’t make a move until they have to, but when they do, it’s a ruthless strike.”
The Ouyang Family Head sighed.
Qin Yuan also nodded. Indeed, the most formidable one this time was still the Wang Family.
They hadn’t participated in the whole process at all.
Yet in the end, they were still able to get a share of the spoils. Although they didn’t want to admit it, the Qin Family had to acknowledge it.
The Qin Family had lost.
“Since you have all received the news, it is time for me to leave!”
The Ouyang Family Head stood up, brushed off his clothes, and said.
He had done all he could this time. If he hadn’t told the Qin Family this news, the Qin Family would likely have been wiped out by the Chen Family and the City Lord.
