Xu Hao merely sent Wang Zhong four simple words, yet they revealed his determination to fight for his father's legacy.
When had the men of the Xu Family ever cowered before anyone?
Since the Cui family dared to break the previous agreement and betray them, they couldn't blame him for being ruthless in response.
After lunch, Xu Hao went to find Liu Tianxiong.
He knew nothing about the Cui family himself, and the Liu Family was fiercely loyal to the Xu Family; Liu Tianxiong, as a major power in Jing'an City, had a thorough understanding of all matters and the distribution of forces here.
When Liu Tianxiong learned about the situation, he immediately said angrily, "The Cui family has the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard! That old thing Cui Hao actually dares to forget favors and violate justice. Back when their Cui family was suppressed by the Wang Family in every way, it was precisely because Young Master Xu's father's men took action that their Cui family was supported. But now they've gone behind our backs to collude with Islanders. Young Master Xu, please let me join you in wiping out the Cui family completely!"
Xu Hao was very pleased with Liu Tianxiong's response and nodded, "Good, have your men get ready. Since they dared to make a move, they must have come prepared. If they really force me to take action, it'll be a good opportunity to see if my strength can break through..." For character sheets and glossaries, visit *.
Liu Tianxiong was slightly shocked. He knew Xu Hao was strong, but from what Xu Hao was saying now, was he actually planning to level up?
Liu Tianxiong received Xu Hao's command and did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately ordered his men to prepare for battle with all their might.
Ever since last night when the news came that Kameda Juuzou had been slain, the members of the Cui family became like ants on a hot pan, anxiously scurrying about.
They were endlessly debating how to deal with the crisis at hand, but they could never come to a conclusion.
Cui Hao, an elder with white hair, the Patriarch of the Cui family, was not seated in his usual place of honor but took a seat to the left.
The one who took the head seat was a young man whom most of the Cui family members did not recognize.
If one observed carefully, they would notice he bore some resemblance to Kameda Juuzou.
This man had his eyes slightly closed, as if gathering his energy, and paid no attention to the noisy voices below.
Seeing his family members in disarray, Cui Hao said coldly, "Quiet down! Falling into such chaos, what kind of decorum is this!"
Even amidst the chaos, Cui Hao, as the Family Head, still had significant authority.
With a cold shout, he instantly silenced everyone.
Cui Hao continued coldly, "You all know what happened last night. I called you here to discuss matters, not to watch you quarrel like you're haggling in a market!"
Even if some of the Cui family members wanted to argue, they didn't dare to utter a word.
"Lord Kameda Juuzou is dead, which was unexpected, but that's not what's terrifying! What's terrifying is that you are all frightened! Since we chose to betray the Xu family and follow the Kameda family, there can be no faltering!"
Seeing that no one objected, Cui Hao paused for a moment and then continued, "Right now, that little bastard Xu Hao is gradually gaining strength, and he will surely come to seek revenge. But this is also our opportunity! Our Cui family may not be very strong, but here we have Lord Twelve! Lord Twelve is a half-step Grandmaster level expert. Xu Hao has only been practicing martial cultivation for a month or so at most. No matter how talented he is, how strong can he really be? With Lord Twelve acting, we will surely succeed!"
At this point, the young man who had been resting with closed eyes finally slowly opened them and said indifferently, "Lord Xu Hao is extremely powerful. Although Kameda Juuzou didn't die at his hands last night, Lord Xu Hao still had the strength to kill him. However, Juuzou's defeat was because he attacked the enemy's strength with his own weakness—losing was inevitable.
"He was too arrogant! But I am not. Therefore, I will hide in the shadows and strike at the perfect moment, making a fatal blow to Lord Xu Hao!"
"Lord Twelve is wise and valiant!"
Cui Hao immediately flattered him and then asked, "Lord Twelve, will the promise given to us by Lord Kameda still be fulfilled?"
Cui Hao was very afraid that the Kameda family might renege last minute, especially after a prodigy of the Kameda family had died in their territory.
Kameda Juuni replied slowly, "Of course, it will be fulfilled. Valuing promises has always been a tradition of our Kameda family. The death of Juuzou was the result of his own overconfidence, and the presence of an unknown Grandmaster level expert was an unexpected factor."
"That's good, that's good..." With Kameda Juuni's affirmative answer, Cui Hao continued, "That Grandmaster level expert is profoundly mysterious. How should we deal with him?"
Lord Twelve glanced at Cui Hao and said slowly, "What you need to know, you'll be told. What you don't need to know, don't ask. Ask too much, and you'll end up dead."
Cui Hao, frightened to the point of sweating profusely, quickly had his subordinates prepare, ready to await Lord Twelve's orders at any time.
As noon approached, Kameda Junni looked at his watch and said, "The time is almost up, we can go now, to the Liu family."
