The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 338 Crack

In Wang Shengxiao’s memory, Wang Tianzong seemed to be watching the sea forever.

The entire Beihai Province was two islands floating in the sea.

Therefore, the sea in Beihai Province was mighty.

Wang Tianzong often stood alone, being at the Stage of Formidable Person, and looked at the sea.

There were an ancient stone table, the raging sea, and a silent man.

He was a silent and brave man, who combined the sea with the history and glory of the Wang family of Beihai.

In Wang Shengxiao’s heart, that was the most vivid image of his father.

The Stage of Formidable Person was empty and ancient. When the tides went up and down, the sound became clearer there.

Wang Shengxiao, who had returned from Huating to the Beihai Province, had ascended to the Stage of Formidable Person and looked at Wang Tianzong’s back.

The view of his back was not outstanding.

The Stage of Formidable Person was not outstanding.

In plain and ordinary terms, the vast sea seemed to have become plain.

In that empty and ancient space, the invincible sword intent, powerful rights, peerless ambitious people, beautiful women, and everything seemed to be plain and simple.

Centuries of romance and glory of the Wang family of Beihai were gathered there.

With a heavy historical burden, it looked especially solemn.

Every time he went there, Wang Shengxiao could feel the power of responsibility.

The power made him fearful and crazy.

Only by standing there, he could feel the burden from the Wang family of Beihai on him, which suppressed his soul, not letting him dare rest a moment, and made him strive for the strongest state.

He knew that his father, who was watching the sea there, would become old and eventually die. Then, he would replace him, to look at the sea that his father watched for a lifetime, shouldering the responsibility that his father currently assumed.

Inheritance, responsibility, expectation...

Under the glory and history, everything was clear and almost naked.

Wang Shengxiao took a deep breath and walked to Wang Tianzong, saying softly, “Dad.”

Wang Tianzong nodded and asked quietly, ” Did you just get here?”

“Yes.”

Wang Shengxiao nodded.

“How is Huating?”

Wang Tianzong glanced at his son.

This question was profound.

As the future Patriarch of the Wang family of Beihai, Wang Shengxiao should be more than a martial maniac who only knew Martial Arts.

Therefore, he thought about it seriously and slowly said, “It’s stable. Uncle Yue and Uncle Liu can stabilize the overall situation. Second Uncle is responsible for coordinating. Our development in Huating has been good in recent years. Although the meeting in Youzhou did have some impact, it’s not big.”

Second Uncle was Wang Xiaoyao.

Uncle Yue was Yue Chunguang, Huating’s mayor.

Uncle Liu was Liu Shuanghua, a giant who was in charge of the intelligence of the south of Jiangnan Society.

Those three people were currently in Huating, and they were the cornerstone of the Wang family of Beihai to stabilize Huating. With them, Huating would not have any problems, no matter how much they had lost in the meeting of Youzhou.

Wang Shengxiao’s eyes were somewhat doubtful.

He did not believe that his father would not know that.

So what did he mean by asking that?

Thinking of the rumors in some top coteries in Huating, Wang Shengxiao fixed his eyes.

Wang Tianzong seemed to know what Wang Shengxiao was thinking. He nodded and said, “Chunguang needs to go.”

“Heilong Province?”

“Yes, go to Longjiang,” Wang Tianzhong said.

...

Longjiang and Heilong were two names for a place. Longjiang province was the new name of the Heilong province. At the moment, the Longjiang province was marked in the new map of the Zhongzhou State, while the Heilong province was marked in the old one.

When the Li family was angling for a comeback in Jiangzhe, Sigh City, which always had powerful discourse right in the Northeast, gave enough bargaining chips.

Liaodong was turned over to Kunlun City.

The Wang family of Beihai had control over the Longjiang province.

Therefore, the Wang family of Beihai needed a loyal and capable person to preside over the general situation of the Longjiang province.

Yue Chunguang was undoubtedly the best choice. He was well qualified. As the mayor of the most developed municipality, if he was transferred to be the Governor, it could not be counted as a sideways move. So, Yue Chunguang would definitely become the top leader of the Longjiang province. Although his level would not change, his status would already be different.

However, Wang Shengxiao was somewhat hesitant.

He hesitated and slowly said, “I think that Uncle Yue does not want to be transferred.”

The Southeast Group had always held the grudge against the loss of Huating. Over the years, it had never given up seizing the dominance over Huating. Especially in recent years, the Wang family of Beihai established a cooperative relationship with Kunlun City. Liu Shuanghua’s Jiangnan Society moved strongly into Huating. After Mayor Yue Chunguang’s foundation was steady, the remnants of the Southeast Group began to become active.

In the past three years, it was astir inside Huating. At the moment, it was unrealistic to take back control of Huating. After two or three years’ operation, it would be promising for Yue Chunguang to replace Zhong Youwei, the current top leader of Huating, and enter the Decision Making Committee.

If he were asked to leave Huating right then, he would entertain doubts.

“He is the most suitable candidate.”

Wang Tianzong spoke without expression. He seemed to be determined, saying, “It’s good for him to leave Huating now. There’s no hope for him to stay in Huating.”

Wang Shengxiao’s face changed and said as if deep in thought, “Wuyue?”

Wang Tianzong nodded.

Although the Wang family of Beihai was the leader of the Southeast Group, the Southeast Group affected the Wang family of Beihai to some degree.

At least when something went wrong inside the Wang family of Beihai, some leaders of the Southeast Group preferred not to comment and change plans easily.

Wang Qinglei joined the Decision Making Committee two years prior. During the change of leadership three years later, the Southeast Group would inevitably elect Wang Qinglei because it was essential to the survival of the whole group. The entire group had to ensure that it would keep its speaking right after the change of leadership. They were surest to elect Wang Qinglei because others were a little underqualified.

If they gave up Wang Qinglei at the moment, time would be too limited. Even if they were strong enough, it would be difficult to have enough time and resources to cultivate a giant candidate again. It was made many years ago, so it was hard to change just then.

The Southeast Group elected Wang Qinglei, so it would be difficult to take into account Yue Chunguang’s promotion. Moreover, Wang Qinglei would not allow the situation to exist.

Therefore, Yue Chunguang would fail to become the top leader of Huating. Even in the next session, the Southeast Group had no plans to seize back Huating.

Except for Huating, there were other ways for him to influence the Decision Making Committee.

The Longjiang province was also a good choice.

Being adjacent to Beihai Province, Longjiang Province had vast territory. If Yue Chunguang ran this place as the new backyard of the Southeast Group, he didn’t necessarily have no chance three years later, according to his merits.

“I’ll find time to talk about this issue with him.” Wang Tianzhong said.

...

Longjiang province was also essential for him to. It was closest to Beihai Province. If it were well-managed, it would be regarded as the periphery of Beihai Province.

Moreover, it was next to Guandong.

If Yue Chunguang could find an opportunity to contend against Bai Qingqian of the Giant Group, the Southeast Group would have one more chip in the big change of leadership three years later.

From that point of view, the Wang family of Beihai would not suffer a loss after abandoning Jiangzhe and getting Longjiang. Even so, it would not wholly abandon Jiangzhe.

Zou Yuanshan entered Jiangzhe and served as the Governor.

The top leader was Su Xinghe, the former Governor of Jiangnan Province.

Jiangnan was always the conventional territory under the control of the Southeast Group. Su Xinghe’s standpoint was unquestionable. Jiangzhe’s ownership was still unknown.

“Will you talk to him yourself?”

Wang Shengxiao was a little stunned.

Wang Tianzong nodded and said nothing.

Wang Shengxiao fell silent for a long time. He hesitated and asked, “Dad, you and Second Uncle...”

He did not finish his sentence.

He had seldom visited the Wang family of Beihai in recent years.

However, he could vaguely notice something wrong between his father and Second Uncle, especially after Wang Qinglei joined the Decision Making Committee.

...

Nowadays, almost everyone in Zhongzhou State could notice that there had been problems inside the Wang family of Beihai.

The atmosphere was increasingly subtle between the direct descendants and the major branches of the Wang family of Beihai. The relationship between the brothers Wang Xiaoyao and Wang Tianzong became weird. As in the matter of Yue Chunguang, if it were before, Wang Tianzong would not talk to him personally, because Wang Xiaoyao would have been enough for the task.

Wang Shengxiao could see the crack between his father and Second Uncle.

For the Wang family of Beihai, it was a fatal crack.

Wang Tianzong twitched his mouth and looked at his son. He said simply, “Do your own thing. Don’t think about other matters.”

Wang Shengxiao began to speak and then hesitated. Finally, he fell silent.

“Why did you come back?” Wang Tianzong asked.

...

“I’m going to meditate in the Stage of Formidable Person for several days and adjust my state to cope with the final maneuver of the two academies,” Wang Shengxiao took a deep breath and said calmly.

...

It was almost late July.

There were still ten days to go before the start of the final maneuver.

Wang Shengxiao hoped to take advantage of the great psychological pressure to make himself stronger in the Stage of Formidable Person.

Wang Tianzong nodded and suddenly said, “Have you ever thought about what will happen if you lose?”

Wang Shengxiao suddenly turned his head, looked at his father, and seriously said, “Do you think I will lose?”

“If you have the confidence to win, you wouldn’t have returned at this time,” Wang Tianzong said coolly.

...

Wang Shengxiao said nothing.

“Losing is not terrible.”

Wang Tianzong said, “I also lost at that time. Below the Invincible Realm, the Li family’s unique skill is more flexible than ours. As long as you’re not dead, you can turn the tables if anything fails.”

Wang Shengxiao gave his father a deep look and asked, “How strong is Li Tianlan now?”

“It’s hard to say.”

Wang Tianzong shook his head and said, “You may lose to him. I may leave in a few days. I should be able to catch up with the final maneuver of the two academies. If I miss it... you have to be careful. He is likely to...”

The phone suddenly rang before Wang Tianzong’s words were finished.

Along with the sound of waves, the ringtone was weak and clear.

Wang Tianzong calmly took out his phone and answered.

Over the phone, Liu Shuanghua, who was from the Jiangnan Society—the largest civilian intelligence organization of the south of Zhongzhou State—was heard.

“Your Majesty, my subordinates have determined Yuetong’s location.”

Liu Shuanghua smiled bitterly and said with difficulty, “After she came to Huating, she has been living with him before Li Tianlan went to Lin’an. Hum...this...”

His words were vague.

However, Wang Tianzong immediately understood what he wanted to say.

As his eye muscles twitched, a harsh cold light flashed.

Liu Shuanghua said nothing more.

Wang Tianzong kept silent and eventually hung up.

“Dad.”

Wang Shengxiao looked at Wang Tianzong.

“I’m fine.”

Wang Tianzong did not finish his words. He patted his son’s shoulder and said plainly, “Remember, do what you should do. Don’t think about other things too much.”
