Chapter 52: Who Agrees, Who Disagrees?
Xiao Zhan acted swiftly. That very afternoon, he sent out invitations to the influential figures of all the major powers in Wutan City.
Not only the Jia Lie family, the Ao Ba family, and the Mitter Auction House, but even some of the second-tier families in Wutan City received invitations.
Although the second-tier families were not on the same level as the three major families, since he was going to rectify Wutan City, all the influential powers in Wutan City had to know that - Wutan City was about to change!
From now on, there would be no more 'three major families' in Wutan City, only the Xiao family would dominate Wutan City!
Upon receiving the invitations, the decision-makers of all parties realized this.
Jia Lie's family.
Jia Lie Bi held the invitation in his hand, his face twitched violently.
"The inevitable has come," he said, his face gloomy. He had anticipated this day.
The three major families had been openly and secretly fighting in Wutan City for so long, with great animosity between them. Each of them couldn't wait to swallow the other two families as soon as possible.
Now that Xiao Cang had broken through to Dou Wang, how could he continue to let their Jia Lie family and Ao Ba family compete with the Xiao family?
"Family head, what should we do? Should we attend?" said an elder of the Jia Lie family.
"Hehe, Do we have a choice?!"
Another elder snorted coldly, "Now that Xiao Cang is inviting us to sit and talk in the Xiao family, he is giving us a chance.
If we go, we still have a chance to fight for some wealth for the family. If we don't go… Xiao Cang might come in person. By then, it won't matter whether there is room for negotiation or not, our Jia Lie family might be in big trouble!"
Jia Lie Bi's face was ugly. Although the elder's words were harsh, they were true.
The power of a Dou Wang was not to be defied.
But every time he thought of Xiao Cang's face, he felt angry.
Just a few days ago, he had watched his dream lover, Ya Fei, flatter Xiao Cang so charmingly. He had also heard that Ya Fei and Xiao Cang had stayed in the box for three days, which made him heartbroken.
Now Xiao Cang was going to swallow up his Jia Lie family's property, but he couldn't resist for the sake of the many lives of the Jia Lie family.
This feeling was extremely humiliating.
"Forget it, now we can only hope that Xiao Cang's appetite is small."
Jia Lie Bi clenched his fist, his face ugly as he said in a deep voice.
…
Mitter Auction House.
Ya Fei had just received a message from a servant of the Xiao family and hurriedly went to collect medicinal materials for Xiao Cang.
After a while, Master Gu Ni came with an invitation.
"Invitation? Master Gu Ni… what is this?" Ya Fei asked.
"It's an invitation from the Xiao family, inviting all the major powers in Wutan City to come and talk." Gu Ni handed the invitation to Ya Fei.
Ya Fei wasn't too surprised when she heard this. It wasn't something unexpected, especially since Xiao Cang had mentioned this matter in front of her and Gu Ni a few days ago.
She opened the invitation and looked at it, then revealed a charming smile, "It seems that by this time tomorrow, all the powers in Wutan City will be surnamed Xiao."
"Shall we attend?" Master Gu Ni asked.
"Of course, we are firm allies of the Xiao family. We need to show our attitude to others." Ya Fei smiled charmingly.
"Okay, that makes sense. I hope nothing goes wrong tomorrow." Master Gu Ni said.
"Master Gu Ni need not worry too much. As long as Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa don't go crazy, they won't make trouble. The pressure of a Dou Wang is not just talk." Ya Fei revealed a confident smile.
…
At this moment, all the powers in Wutan City were in shock.
Soon, the news that Xiao Cang was going to rectify Wutan City tomorrow spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city. In the market, in the tavern, under the overpass… people were discussing this matter everywhere.
"Have you heard? The young Dou Wang genius of the Xiao family is going to sweep Wutan City!"
"Of course I've heard. The three major families in our Wutan City have been openly and secretly fighting for so many years, and finally there is a result."
"It seems that our tavern will be surnamed Xiao from tomorrow."
"Actually, it's not bad to be surnamed Xiao. That way, we'll have a Dou Wang powerhouse as our backing!"
"Who says it's not? And behind Xiao Cang is the Yun Lan Sect, with a hard background!"
"…"
All the people in Wutan City understood that when all the powers were discussing with the Xiao family tomorrow, there would be no second possibility except for being swallowed by the Xiao family.
Even some sharp-eyed blacksmiths had already started to make "Xiao" signs.
After all, many shops would have to change their names to Xiao after tomorrow.
Make the sign first, so it can be sold when the time comes! …
…
In this atmosphere, the next day came quickly.
In the early morning, as the sun was rising.
Wutan City became lively.
All the decision-makers of the first and second-tier powers all set off for the Xiao family.
Inside the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan and the three elders sat in the hall, their faces glowing red as they waited for everyone to come.
After a while, familiar figures walked into the Xiao family hall one after another.
"Xiao Clan Leader."
"Xiao Zhan, long time no see."
"…"
Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa were the first to arrive. They both showed extremely cheerful smiles when they saw Xiao Zhan, but their hearts were extremely gloomy.
They had been openly and secretly fighting with Xiao Zhan for so many years, and neither of them was willing to admit defeat.
But after today… their families probably wouldn't be able to compare with the Xiao family anymore.
"Brother Jia Lie, long time no see."
"Brother Ao B, you've gotten stronger again."
Xiao Zhan greeted the two with a smile. Thinking that the Xiao family would swallow the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family in a while, he was extremely excited.
Then, several more figures entered the Xiao family hall one after another, making the hall lively.
"Su Clan Leader, please sit down."
"Lin Clan Leader, long time no see, your body is still so robust."
"Hahaha, Miss Ya Fei is here too, please sit down quickly."
"…"
Xiao Zhan laughed and greeted everyone.
After a while, all the decision-makers of the various powers had arrived and sat down in the hall.
Everyone looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
Although they knew they couldn't escape being swallowed by the Xiao family today, they all wanted to fight for some remaining assets for their own powers.
"Xiao Clan Leader, I don't know why you invited us all to your Xiao family to gather. What's the important matter?"
Ya Fei's charming eyes swept over the hall, then she looked at Xiao Zhan and cleverly gave Xiao Zhan a lead.
"Today's gathering is not actually the idea of the family head, but the idea of the Xiao family's genius, Xiao Cang."
"Everyone wait a moment, nephew Xiao Cang will be here soon."
As soon as Xiao Zhan's voice fell, a figure with golden wings spread out behind him flew in from outside the house.
The person had not yet arrived, but a powerful pressure had already arrived.
Suddenly, Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa and others trembled, showing a look of horror.
What a terrifying aura!
Their faces changed dramatically, looking extremely ugly.
Xiao Cang's aura was far more terrifying than they had imagined!
Just feeling it just now made their hearts palpitate.
The next instant, Xiao Cang had flown into the hall and retracted his golden Dou Qi wings.
But the pressure not only did not decrease at all, but became even more terrifying as Xiao Cang approached.
For a time, except for the Xiao family and Ya Fei and Gu Ni, everyone else was red-faced, as if they were being pressed by a mountain of ten thousand jin, and they couldn't breathe.
"Xiao… Xiao Cang… please… dissipate the pressure."
A family head of a second-rate power with only eight-star Dou Shi could not bear the pressure and asked for mercy with a red face.
"Yes, please… please dissipate the pressure."
After one person took the lead in begging for mercy, everyone else began to beg for mercy.
Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa were also among them.
With their level of Great Dou Shi, they were far from being able to withstand such pressure.
Seeing this, Xiao Cang was satisfied to dissipate the pressure, and showed a 'sorry' expression.
"I'm really sorry everyone, I just forgot to converge my aura."
The pressure dissipated, and everyone was panting.
They looked at each other with lingering fears, their eyes full of horror!
Xiao Zhan watched this scene, and couldn't help but smile.
Especially seeing Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa eating a loss, it was even more refreshing.
However, he still said seriously, "Nephew Xiao Cang, since everyone is here, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Alright, then I'll just say it."
With a warm smile, Xiao Cang looked at everyone and spoke in a light tone, "All of you here are esteemed leaders in Wutan City. Today, I, Xiao Cang, have invited you all here for a simple matter. I hope that starting from today, everyone would be willing to sell all their markets and industries to the Xiao family at the price of a copper coin within the next three days."
"I wonder who among you agrees and who disagrees?"
