"Although I didn't articulate the rest, you should know what I was trying to convey."

"In any case, Wang Ye hates me deeply. If I were to meet Wang Ye face to face, I fear his first impulse upon seeing me would be to smash me to death right there."

When Zhao Han spoke, his expression was one of helplessness, mixed with some of the fear he felt when facing Wang Ye.

His acting was so vivid that it seemed he had forgotten all about the times he had jovially conversed with Wang Ye.

The heads of the other four great families, upon hearing Zhao Han's words, exchanged looks, their expressions equally helpless.

They knew that there was animosity between Zhao Han and Wang Ye.

But by this point, other than having Zhao Han take action himself, they could find no other way to resolve the current situation.

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of the other four family heads conveyed a desolate feeling, knowing full well the consequences of provoking a Third Grade Martial Warrior.

They were unable to counter the opponent who could very well annihilate them all.

A vast family, if targeted for destruction in a do-or-die situation by the opponent, all five great families would likely end up as funeral offerings for this Third Grade Martial Warrior.

They were helpless.

They had no Third Grade Martial Warrior.

Moreover, they couldn't afford to hire one!

At the level of a Third Grade Martial Warrior, it wasn't just about money anymore, but also the benefits beyond it.

And if even Zhao Han was of no use, then the words of the other family heads would be even less effective.

Just as Zhao Han had said, should they dare to meet Wang Ye, they could probably be slapped to death with the first glance from him.

At that moment,

The four great family heads all displayed deep anxiety, unlike the calm demeanor they usually maintained in public or before cameras.

Even one of the family heads, completely unconsciously, began to pull at his already sparse hair, making it even sparser...

Meanwhile, Zhao Han was pretending to be as troubled as they were, but inside, he was actually feeling quite amused.

Let them feel troubled now, after targeting my nephew all the while; now that my nephew has grown stronger, these people can only feel the difficulty.

Zhao Han felt a profound sense of vindication.

"Ahem."

Just as the other four family heads were nearly breaking down due to this predicament, Zhao Han coughed a few times, drawing their anxious gazes toward him.

In their eyes directed at Zhao Han, there was a mix of hope and urgency:

"Brother Zhao, have you thought of some strategy?"

"As long as you can come up with a way to divert Wang Ye from targeting us in the future, we are willing to do anything!"

"Brother Zhao, we all know that Wang Ye would not bear to harm you after all, since you are his only family left in this world."

"Yes, Brother Zhao, I've heard that your long-lost daughter has a good relationship with Wang Ye. Perhaps you could ask her to speak to Wang Ye and see if she can persuade him not to target us."

In Yun City, four family heads represent a significant status.

Normally, even the official agencies of the Xijiang Provincial Government, upon meeting these four great family heads, would act with utmost deference.

However, due to Wang Ye, these four great family heads were speaking to Zhao Han with a humble tone.

Zhao Han stroked his chin, appearing contemplative.

After about a minute, Zhao Han finally spoke slowly under the anxious gazes of the other four family heads:

"Do you remember how the other four families in Yun City managed to escape disaster at the hands of Wang Ye?"

The Four Great Families of Yun City?

In the Xijiang Provincial Government, apart from Zhao Han, the other four family heads recalled the incident.

The Four Great Families of Yun City were indeed dealt with by Wang Ye and, having had some interactions with them before, they were quite focused on how these families were handled by Wang Ye.

And it left a deep impression!

"Back then, the family heads of Yun City's Four Great Families changed positions, and each of the Yun City families offered Wang Ye some benefits, which deterred him from further targeting the other four families in Yun City. Yet, there was a subtle sense among the Yun City families that they were serving Wang Ye," said the Head of the Tan Family.

As the voice of the Head of the Tan Family fell, the expressions of all four meeting heads inside the room changed instantly.

Family head changes?

What a joke!

How could that be possible!

Even though their successors would take over even if they stepped down as family heads, they still wouldn't be content to just let their positions be changed.

"Changing the family head is out of the question; I prefer the feeling of having absolute control over the family. If anyone else were to take control, I would be uneasy," one of the family heads spoke.

The other heads voiced their agreement.

"No." Zhao Han shook his head slightly, his voice emerging from his throat: "What's important isn't changing the family head, but the benefits you can offer Wang Ye moving forward."

"If the benefits you provide satisfy Wang Ye, then he naturally won't move against you anymore. But if the benefits are insufficient to intrigue Wang Ye, then..."

Zhao Han didn't say more, but his meaning was clear.

And the four great family heads visibly relaxed. Compared to offending a Third Grade Martial Warrior, at any moment risking their lives, providing Wang Ye with some benefits seemed far more worthwhile to them.

"Alright, if that's the case, we are definitely willing to provide benefits. But, inviting Wang Ye over remains an issue," the Head of the Tan Family spoke again.

And the other three heads instinctively shrank their necks.

Confronting a Third Grade Martial Warrior already made them apprehensive, let alone facing one they had offended.

Just the thought induced a wave of panic within them.
