Jade was not familiar with the Bai Family but, through Fatty Tang's explanation, he had come to understand them.
The Bai Family, like the Ma Family, was one of Yunxi's local tycoons, wielding wealth not inferior to the Ma Family's. Moreover, as natives of Yunxi, with their deeply entrenched relationships, their power was formidable.
The Ma Family, on the other hand, were newcomers, but their rise had been so swift that by the time the Bai Family took notice, the Ma Family had acquired enough power to oppose the Bai Family on equal terms. The Bai Family, previously unchallenged, was now facing a contender for their wealth, and there was no way they would allow the Ma Family to rest easy.
