Chapter 26: Zhao Wu’s Anger, The Great Talent Sun Sheng?_1

Qingshi Town, Zhao Family territory.

In a room where the light was slightly dim.

Zhao Wu, the current Family Head of the Zhao Family, was sitting quietly in the seat of honor.

His complexion was somewhat somber.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be getting more and more oppressive as time passed.

“Family Head, there’s news.”

A middle-aged man in black, tasked with gathering intelligence for the Zhao Family,

suddenly appeared in the room.

“How did it go?” Zhao Wu asked the man before him, his voice somewhat hoarse.

“The ones sent out to loiter around the premium Qingshi ore veins… all dead!”

“All dead???” Zhao Wu’s eyes suddenly widened.

Along with the intense anger in his eyes, there was also a hint of astonishment and disbelief.

“Are you sure that those I sent out are all dead?”

Zhao Wu seemed to hardly believe it.

The man in black silently nodded in response.

“Who was it? The Luo Family?”

Although Zhao Wu already had a suspect in mind, he…

could not believe it.

He truly could not believe it.

He couldn’t believe that the already unstable Luo Family would dare to do such a thing!

“Family Head, it was Luo Yong of the Luo Family who made the move.”

“Your subordinate has investigated, and there were no signs of chaotic fighting near that stretch of premium Qingshi ore vein, about three hundred meters long.”

“It seems to have happened in just an instant…”

“All of those hidden near the premium Qingshi ore vein, without exception, were dead.”

“As if they didn’t even have a chance to fight back.”

With these words,

the atmosphere in the room became increasingly oppressive.

So oppressive that it was becoming difficult to breathe.

“I am aware of the matter.”

“You may stand down…” Zhao Wu said to the man before him, biting his teeth and struggling to suppress the anger in his heart.

“Yes, Family Head.”

The man in black bowed slightly and quickly disappeared from the room.

As the man in black slowly left,

only Zhao Wu remained in the room.

That’s when Zhao Wu could no longer contain his rage, smashing everything by his side, from teacups to teapots.

He even lost control to the extent that he flipped the wooden table in front of him.

“Qingshi Town, the Luo Family…”

“How dare they?”

“How could they do such a thing?”

“Are they truly not afraid that this will trigger a series of chain reactions?”

All sorts of questions arose in Zhao Wu’s mind.

The fury in his heart continued to burn even more intensely over time.

At the peak of his wrath, he even considered revealing all of his family’s trump cards.

To annihilate the Luo Family of Qingshi Town in one fell swoop.

However, Zhao Wu eventually calmed down.

What he represented was not just himself; he was the representative of the Zhao Family of Qingshi Town.

Even though he always considered

the situation of the Luo Family in Qingshi Town to be precarious, at any moment capable of being annihilated,

no matter what, the Luo Family was still one of the four great families of Qingshi Town.

Their strength was not to be underestimated.

Now was not the best time to act against the Luo Family.

“Dad, Dad…”

Just as Zhao Wu was contemplating how he should deal with the Luo Family,

his disappointing son, Zhao Qian,

suddenly jogged into the room.

However, as soon as Zhao Qian entered the room and saw the chaotic scene, he was stunned.

“Damn, what’s going on here?”

“Robbed?”

Zhao Qian glanced around at the incredibly chaotic scene, then looked towards his father with a puzzled expression, hoping for an answer.

Apparently, he sought an explanation from his father.

Seeing this, Zhao Wu immediately turned away.

He had no intention of providing Zhao Qian with an answer.

“What did you come here for, kid?”

“Don’t tell me you’ve spent all your money again and want me to give you some more?”

“Dad, what are you talking about?” Upon hearing this, Zhao Qian was immediately displeased, “Is that really how you see me in your heart?”

“Isn’t it?”

Zhao Wu turned his head, hands clasped behind his back, silently looking at his profligate son, Zhao Qian.

In his eyes, there flickered a hint of helplessness.

People always say, ‘Like father, like son,’ but that was not the case in Zhao Wu’s family.

“Dad, I’m not here to ask for money this time, nor to have you solve my troubles,” Zhao Qian said.

“I’ve brought you a talented individual.”

As he spoke, Zhao Qian suddenly turned his head and called out to the person waiting outside the room, “Hey, what was your name again?”

“Sun… Sun Sheng, right?”

“Come on in!”

Following Zhao Qian’s words, a man wearing a scholar’s robe and holding a folding fan entered the room.

He appeared somewhat frail,

But in reality, he possessed powerful Qi-Blood Force.

With a slight smile on his face, he walked into the room.

Upon seeing the chaotic room, a flicker of surprise passed through Sun Sheng’s eyes.

But it was only for a moment.

Soon after, he returned to his usual demeanor.

“Family Head of the Zhao Family, I have long admired your renowned name,” Sun Sheng said as he slightly nodded his head and respectfully cupped his hands together.

After the talent that Zhao Qian had brought appeared before his father, he nodded in satisfaction, and then quietly left the room.

“Sun Sheng?”

Inside the room, Zhao Wu looked at the middle-aged man wearing a scholar’s robe and holding a folding fan.

He returned to the main seat and sat down silently,

Calmly observing this stranger who had suddenly appeared.

“Where do you come from? And what are your plans?” Zhao Wu asked in a low voice after a moment of contemplation.

“I don’t intend to conceal anything, my lord, I’m from Huai Shui County,” the man replied.

“I’ve come here seeking a future.”

“A future?” Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Qingshi Town is not too small nor too large.”

“Along with some refugees, its population is barely eighty or ninety thousand, not even a hundred thousand.”

“The situation with the four major families coexisting in Qingshi Town has also been maintained for more than three hundred years.”

“Why have you chosen the Zhao Family?”

To this question, Sun Sheng smiled slightly.

He lifted his head, his gaze met Zhao Wu’s for a moment.

Then, with confidence, he said,

“Based on my intuition, and… my judgment!”

Zhao Wu asked, “Is that all?”

“Yes, my lord!” Sun Sheng nodded slightly and responded with a single sentence before falling silent again.

Meanwhile, in the room, Zhao Wu, who sat in the main seat,

Was also carefully sizing up the man before him.

Sun Sheng must have some ability,

To be able to make eye contact and speak to him in such a manner.

His courage was certainly not lacking.

But there was one issue that made Zhao Wu hesitant.

In these tumultuous times, could he trust this stranger who had suddenly appeared?
