1020: Chapter 1021: For Whom is This Trap Set?

“People are eager to go all out against their foes, and that’s the honest truth.”

“At this point, if anyone is still holding back, they’d truly be foolish.”

Consequently, major families began to mobilize their experts, converging on the Nangong Family.

Nangong Yu continued to sip his tea, seemingly unworried.

Though he spoke as if he genuinely feared his enemies, his expression betrayed no sign of tension.

At the Li Family of Xiongcheng City, only Xiao Chen and Li Zui remained seated at the table.

Jiang Meng had already gone to sleep.

The girl couldn’t hold her liquor, but to please Xiao Chen, she drank a few extra cups, the little fool.

“Have they started making their move?”

Xiao Chen suddenly shed his previous drunken demeanor and turned to ask Li Zui.

“They’ve already started.

Nangong Yu has been forced into the position of Alliance Hierarch.

Fifty-seven families are joining forces to wage a blood war against our enemy.

This battle will surely lead to their destruction!”

Li Zui said excitedly, “I must say, Boss, your strategy is incredibly clever!”

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “Our enemies won’t be wiped out!”

“Why!”

Li Zui was stunned, not understanding what had gone wrong.

“Because this trap of mine was never aimed at our enemies in the first place!”

Xiao Chen laughed.

Li Zui was even more perplexed.

Didn’t Xiao Chen want the Xifeng Group?

If this trap wasn’t set for their enemies, then who was it for?

“I indeed want the Xifeng Group, but I’m not in a rush.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “What’s the Hao League anyway?

They’re too easy to crush.

What I want to do is drag the top experts of the Capital Prefecture into the mix.”

Of course, there was one thing he didn’t say out loud.

This trap was meant to lure out the people from the Hades Organization.

Li Zui began to understand.

Their enemies were just a Silver Aristocratic Clan.

If Xiao Chen wanted to deal with them, he wouldn’t need such an elaborate scheme.

His real target was the people behind their enemies, the ones behind the Hao League.

The moment he arrived in Jincheng, Xiao Chen had already extended his hand into the Capital Prefecture.

He was poised to take down the families of the Capital.

Probably, the Shangguan Family and Zhou Family were his actual targets.

Xiongcheng was Zhou Family’s stronghold, while Jincheng was home to a large part of the Shangguan Family’s markets.

If he didn’t defeat these two families, the so-called Xiao Family Forbidden Ground would be nothing but empty talk.

However, as these two families had always remained passive, it was difficult for Xiao Chen to take action.

This incident, while appearing to target their enemies, was actually aimed at these two top Aristocratic Clans.

Upon this realization, Li Zui couldn’t help but shiver.

This was audacious.

Two of the top ten Aristocratic Clans were in Xiao Chen’s sights; this was crazy.

But for some reason, he felt an unusual lack of worry.

As if Xiao Chen was an invincible presence.

No matter who it was, nobody could take advantage of Xiao Chen.

“What’s so surprising about that?

Remember what I’ve said before?

These decayed family systems shouldn’t exist.

As long as they exist, society won’t be fair.

Not even the most basic semblance of fairness can be achieved.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “I don’t crave complete fairness in society, because that’s impossible, but certain entities that conspicuously defy fairness must be eradicated.

At the very least, I want common people to have opportunities for advancement, for striving, for hope even from the humblest of origins.

At the very least, they should have a direction to work towards.”

“Boss!”

Listening to Xiao Chen’s words, Li Zui truly had a lot of feelings.

In this world, there are countless people with money and power, but few are truly like Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s existence is the hope of this society.

He is the fortune of countless people.

“Alright, next, what you need to do is continue to strengthen the security of Xiongcheng City.

Cooperate with Old Chen and others to turn Xiongcheng into an impregnable fortress.

The top Aristocratic Clans are not so easily shaken.

If I make a move against them, they will certainly retaliate against me.

I believe it won’t be long before Xiongcheng becomes a battlefield.

Are you scared?”

Xiao Chen asked.

“To say I’m not scared would be a lie.

In the past few times, the Li Family almost perished, and I almost died as well.”

Li Zui smiled and said, “However, since I’ve promised to pledge loyalty to the boss, I won’t run away.

If death is ultimately in my destiny, I hope I can die in battle!”

“Hehe, it’s good that you have this loyalty.

In the blink of an eye, a month has already passed.

Jun Moxie and the others should be coming back soon.

This time, Xiongcheng City will give its all in confrontation.

However, I would still advise you to let the people of the Li Family temporarily leave Xiongcheng City and hide out in the Blue Sea.

When the time comes, Xiongcheng City will inevitably become a place of strife.

I’m not sure how much power the top Aristocratic Clans have.

By then, I don’t know how many people will die.

I can’t possibly protect everyone completely, so your family can evacuate first.”

Xiao Chen said with a smile, “Don’t look so worried.

Just like every time before, we will still survive.

Rest assured.”

Looking at Xiao Chen’s smile, Li Zui calmed down suddenly.

He felt that he really couldn’t keep up with Xiao Chen’s thoughts.

Xiao Chen looked too far ahead.

When he could see five moves ahead, Jun Moxie could already see twenty steps beyond.

And Xiao Chen, he had already seen the endgame and knew the ultimate outcome of this chess game.

It was terrifying.

No wonder sometimes Xiao Chen’s thinking seemed so erratic.

It wasn’t erratic; he just couldn’t understand it.

“Boss, I will do as you said.

Whatever orders you give, I promise to do as you say.”

Li Zui suddenly felt that there was no need to think for himself in front of Xiao Chen, just follow orders, or he would surely overexert his brain.

“Li Zui, what do you think about the top Aristocratic Clans?”

Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

“The top Aristocratic Clans are definitely the most powerful entities in Dragon Country.

They control the economic lifelines, and any single Family Clan has the power to overturn heavens and earth.”

Li Zui said, “If my Li Family could one day become a top Aristocratic Clan, it would really be as good as praying for a blessing.”

“You would be satisfied with that?”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “It’s only a matter of time before the Li Family becomes a top Aristocratic Clan, but being a top Aristocratic Clan is not the end goal, it is just a beginning.

There are things you still don’t understand.

In the future, you will gradually come to know.”

Li Zui was shocked.

The top Aristocratic Clans were only a beginning!

That was like telling him that graduating from college was just a beginning.

He slowly began to understand.

In elementary school, it always seemed that college was the key, and he envied those college students immensely.

Only once he entered society did he realize that being a college graduate was nothing special–it was merely the real start of life.

Could it be that this world had an unknown side?

He suddenly found his breathing becoming rapid, his heart pounding with excitement.

He believed that by following Xiao Chen, he would eventually enter that world.

Although he had no right to touch those things now, in the future, it was definitely possible, as long as he didn’t die, as long as he didn’t leave Xiao Chen.

“Alright, I should go back to rest.

Pack up these wines for me, my wife likes them, so let her enjoy them when she has the time.”

Xiao Chen stood up and said with a smile.
