Chapter 54: Dominating the Wu Tan City
The tragic death of Jia Lie Bi silenced all the family heads.
They no longer had any thoughts of bargaining and expressed their willingness to hand over all their family's properties and market shops.
In this world where the strong are respected, Xiao Cang's fist is big, and his words are the law.
Anyone who dares to defy Xiao Cang's wishes will end up like Jia Lie Bi.
"Very Well"
Xiao Cang said, a satisfied smile on his face.
Then, a prepared elite from the Xiao family stepped forward, opened his waist bag, and gave each family head a copper coin.
Of course, the copper coin of the Jia Lie family could only be handed to the elder of the Jia Lie family.
The family heads took the copper coin, their faces trembling.
Their once vast family businesses now reduced to just one copper coin, the pain in their hearts was indescribable.
"You all cooperate so well. it's truly excellent. Bring tea for our guests" Xiao Zhan said cheerfully.
The clan heads had no mood to drink tea and left with bitter faces.
They had just walked out of the Xiao family hall and hadn't left the Xiao family's main gate when they saw a group of brocade-clad figures walking in at the gate of the Xiao family.
Behind the brocade-clad figures, there were carriages full of goods.
Ao Ba Pa and others couldn't help showing a puzzled look.
Just then, they saw the Xiao family's gatekeeper talking to the group of brocade-clad figures, and immediately showed a shocked look, then ran towards the hall.
"Clan leader!"
"The Mu family, the Na Lan family, and the Miteer family from the imperial capital have come to visit with gifts."
Suddenly, Ao Ba Pa and many family heads trembled and showed a horrified look.
The Mu family, the Na Lan family, and the Miteer family... All are famous families in the Gama Empire!
Any one of them could easily crush their small Wu Tan city families dozens of times. Even these families have sent people from far away to give gifts to the Xiao family... How dare their small families defy Xiao Cang?
Inside the hall.
"The Mu family, the Na Lan family, the Miteer family?"
Xiao Zhan immediately stood up, his eyes filled with excitement.
These families are all big figures that he couldn't flatter on a normal day. Even the Na Lan family, which has a marriage contract with their Xiao family, is not something his small Xiao family can compare to.
But now these families have come to visit in person... All of this comes from Xiao Cang's reputation.
"Nephew Xiao Cang, it's our Xiao family's fortune to have a descendant like you!"
"Uncle Xiao Zhan, you're too kind."
Xiao Cang said with a gentle smile, looking at the visiting teams from the imperial capital families coming into the courtyard, quite satisfied.
It's really thoughtful of these big families in the imperial capital.
Considering the distance from the imperial capital to Wu Tan City, as soon as he set off to return to the Xiao family from the imperial capital, the major families immediately sent people to send gifts.
It's just that the speed of the delivery carriages is far less than that of the flying beast Silver, so it arrived a dozen days later.
...
...
The rectification of the various forces in Wu Tan City has come to an end at this point.
Under Xiao Cang's pressure, the various forces hardly had any resistance and obediently cooperated with the people of the Xiao family to transfer their properties and market shops to the Xiao family.
As the elder said, the Xiao family only sent one clansman to manage each shop, and the rest of the work was given to the original family members, giving them a meal.
In just a few days, the Xiao family had taken over more than 80% of the market shops in Wu Tan City.
During these days, Xiao Cang was constantly shuttling between the Xiao family and the Miteer auction house.
During the day, he accompanied Xun'er, and at night, he went to Ya Fei to work hard for the expansion of the family.
It must be said that Ya Fei, this little demon, is really attractive. Her every frown and smile is charming. Her proud perfect body also makes Xiao Cang charmed.
It's just a pity that Ya Fei's belly is not very competitive. Xiao Cang has been working hard for several nights, but there was no result.
It seems that the probability of getting pregnant as easily as Xun'er, is too low.
One morning.
"Giggle.. Hehe."
A burst of giggles came from Ya Fei's room.
She was wearing a thin gauze, the thin gauze couldn't cover her hot body at all, revealing a large piece of white. And at this moment, she was lying on the bed, her jade foot in Xiao Cang's hand, being tickled by Xiao Cang.
"Brother Xiao Cang...giggles...spare...spare me...giggles..."
"Sister knows she was wrong...giggles..."
Ya Fei kept rolling on the bed, laughing constantly.
"It's good to know you were wrong." Xiao Cang said, while constantly scanning Ya Fei's body.
The large piece of stunning scenery that she inadvertently revealed when she turned over was more charming than when she was fully exposed.
"giggle… spare me"
Ya Fei begged for mercy, her eyes almost tearing up from the tickling.
Only then did Xiao Cang contentedly release Ya Fei's jade feet.
"Brother Xiao Cang, you're too much, actually tickling someone's feet."
Ya Fei sat up, her jade legs drawn together, and spoke with a coquettish expression on her face.
"Next time, don't have such mischievous thoughts." Xiao Cang said.
"Oh..."
Ya Fei murmured softly.
"By the way, how did the medicinal ingredients you were collecting go in the past few days?" Xiao Cang asked.
"Basically, I have collected most of them. We're only missing the four-grade rare and expensive Ghost Orchid Herb, but I've already sent word to mobilize the family's strength to find this herb. I believe we'll have news in a few days." Ya Fei said.
"Good."
Xiao Cang nodded.
The medicinal ingredients he had Ya Fei collect were intended for refining pills to restore soul power for Yao Chen.
After all, with the Xiao Family's current scale, apart from him, Xiao Zhan was the only Great Dou Shi in the Clan.
Since he wanted to make the Xiao Family one of the fundamental supports for building his future influence, improving the family's combat power was necessary.
To enhance the family's combat power, there were essentially two methods: elevating the combat strength of elite members like Xiao Zhan or improving the talents of the younger generation in the Xiao Family.
Both methods required pills.
So, Xiao Cang intended to restore some soul power for Yao Chen, then let Yao Chen vigorously refine pills to enhance the overall strength and potential of the Xiao Family.
