CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE: Wealth and Danger! [Second Update!]
“Such a clever design,” Chu Yang sincerely praised.
“This is just a small trick, Brother Chu, please don’t laugh at me,” Ou Duxiao replied with a slight smile, leading the way. A complex look flashed in his eyes; he was naturally aware of the family's arrangements.
To be honest, Ou Duxiao did not fully agree with this kind of arrangement and tactics from the family. After all, at that time, Chu Yang had saved him face, generously offering an alternative solution, thereby preparing a retreat for himself.
This was a great favor! Regardless of whether Chu Yang had any ulterior motives, it prevented the Ou Family from losing face in front of the world's heroes.
At first, Ou Duxiao was genuinely grateful and wanted to repay Chu Yang. At the very least, he should compensate him for the materials worth five hundred and twenty-five million.
Upon returning to the family, the consensus was supportive, as Chu Yang had the backing of the four major families, making his strength formidable. If they could gain such an ally, it would naturally be a good thing for the Ou Family.
This situation only changed abruptly after hearing about the Xie Family's affairs! In an instant, everyone's thoughts completely shifted!
Hundreds of billions in wealth! Coupled with the Xie Family’s stocks worth hundreds of billions!
What a colossal asset this was! If the Ou Family could possess such wealth, it would undoubtedly exceed the combined financial strength of both the Ou and Xie families! This wealth could be used to recruit power and consolidate experts, undoubtedly elevating the Ou Family's strength to another level!
The Ou Family was already one of the top families in the Middle Three Heavens. If they could advance further, what would that mean?
It would mean replacing the Ao Family and becoming the first family in the Middle Three Heavens!
And what does being the first family signify? It’s not just about ranking; it’s more about influence! With the title of the first family, more and more people would come to seek refuge, making the family’s power even more solid! After a while, storming the Upper Three Heavens would not be surprising at all!
“On what basis does the Ao Family claim to be the first family? Wasn’t it just because they suddenly discovered a treasure over two hundred years ago? Originally, the Ao Family was not much different from our Ou Family. But after obtaining that treasure, they skyrocketed. What was it all based on? Just financial power!”
The words of an elder from the Ou Family ignited everyone's ambitions: “Although no one knows the true value of the treasure discovered by the Ao Family, if it exceeds a certain limit, then the Ao Family would not be at their current scale! They would be much larger and stronger! Hence, it's estimated that treasure is worth at least several hundred billion!”
“And now, as long as we can seize all the wealth in Yama Chu's hands, we can be sure that at the very least, it would equal the wealth gained by the Ao Family, perhaps even surpass it… after all, it includes the Xie Family’s several hundred years of stock! What difference is that from a treasure?”
“The future of the Ou Family rises at this very moment! So what are we waiting for? Even if it’s risky, we have to take the plunge.” The elder’s passionate speech stirred everyone’s blood.
“Moreover, these four major families appear to support Yama Chu on the surface, relying on personal relationships rather than family interests. This is rather intriguing… Although the Gu Family is represented by the young patriarch, they are not a top family!”
The patriarch of the Ou Family, Ou Chengwu, continued analyzing: “As for the other Dong, Luo, and Ji families, they are all led by the second young masters… Haha, even if we kill them, in a way, this is also eliminating potential threats for the eldest young masters of these families. Even if the news leaks and there is backlash, it won’t be significant…”
