Bang!

Crack!

Yan Hu responded with a punch!

A dull thud and a crisp crack sounded simultaneously.

Just like that, Zhou Liegang and Liu Tiancheng were the same!

"Ah!"

Thud!

Zhou Liegang fell directly to the ground, writhing in excruciating pain!

His strength was a bit higher than Liu Tiancheng's, reaching the level of an Innate Grandmaster. His arm's toughness was a bit higher than Liu Tiancheng's, not to the point of losing consciousness. Precisely because of this, the heart-wrenching pain was even more intense.

If he knew that he was suffering this much because of his strong power, he would surely have wished to lose all his strength!

With a glance at Zhou Liegang, Yan Hu and Spirit You walked towards the taxi stand, Jiang Chen's car had already left!

"Bastard! I must kill him! Kill him!"

Zhou Liegang, bearing intense pain, cursed angrily. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Tiancheng standing there in a daze and yelled, "What are you standing there for? Call a cab to take us back!"

"Oh, yes, yes!"

Liu Tiancheng nodded hastily, taking out his phone from his right pocket with his left hand and dialing a number.

...

In the north suburbs of Orchid City, a grand and imposing estate lay at the foot of a plateau mountain.

At this moment, there was an endless stream of guests visiting the gates of the estate.

The day after tomorrow would be the Zhou Family's ancestor worship ceremony. All affiliated families of the Zhou Family would arrive in the next two days, but only the Huangluo Clan and the Yue Family were invited, as it was an ancestor worship, not a joyous celebration. If it weren't for the hidden world families entering the world and the Zhou Family's ulterior motives, these two families wouldn't have been invited!

In the conference room on the second floor of the central villa of the Zhou Family, all the main figures of the Zhou Family were gathered here.

The old master of the Zhou Family, Zhou Dingguo, sat in the top position, but the top position was not a seat. Next to Zhou Dingguo sat an old man with white hair and beard, who looked much older than Zhou Dingguo.

The old man was named Zhou Wanrong, the second ancestor of the Zhou Family, from the grandparent generation of the old master. Usually, such senior members of the family would not be disturbed unless there were life and death matters in the family, yet he was present in this meeting room!

Sitting in the first seat on the left row was the current Family Head, Zhou Jiang. Due to the recent contention for the Family Head position, Zhou Dingguo temporarily acted as Family Head, leaving Zhou Jiang to sit in the first position on the left.

Beneath Zhou Jiang sat two middle-aged men, the second uncle of the Zhou Family, Zhou Hai, and the fourth uncle, Zhou Yuan.

Sitting at the first seat on the right row was Zhou Liecheng, who famously wanted to contend with Zhou Jiang for the Family Head position, with the third uncle, Zhou Tong, and Zhou Liecheng's aunt, Zhou Min, following beneath him.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat heavy, all because of a proposal by Zhou Liecheng.

"Liecheng, do you really want to do this at the ancestor worship ceremony the day after tomorrow?" Zhou Dingguo looked at his grandson Zhou Liecheng with a complicated gaze.

Zhou Liecheng spoke proudly, "Grandfather, it's the era of the young now, Dad is old, and the old should retire. Taking advantage of the ceremony, with all the affiliated families present, let everyone evaluate the choice of Family Head. Wouldn't that be more convincing?"

"You..."

Zhou Jiang stared angrily at Zhou Liecheng and shouted, "Zhou Liecheng, your wings have truly become stiff! I don't blame you for always wanting to be the Family Head, but you actually want to conduct a selection during the ancestor worship ceremony, are you crazy? Doing that is tantamount to dishonoring your ancestors!"

"How am I dishonoring my ancestors?"

Zhou Liecheng sneered, "I'm actually having our ancestors witness me becoming the Family Head. It's a chance to combine the inheritance ceremony with the ancestor worship, saving the affiliated families another trip back soon!"

Zhou Jiang's face darkened, and he shouted, "Are you so sure you can seize the position of Family Head?"

"Dad, that's not something you need to worry about. You just need to prepare to abdicate and retire!" Zhou Liecheng said confidently.

"Zhou Liecheng!"

Suddenly, a call resounded outside the central villa.

Zhou Liecheng glanced at Zhou Jiang and turned to Zhou Dingguo, "Grandfather, Leng Ming from the Huangluo Clan is looking for me. I'll step out first; continuing this meeting and neglecting our guests would be impolite!"

After saying this, Zhou Liecheng stood up and walked out of the meeting room. Zhou Tong and Zhou Min exchanged a complex look with Zhou Jiang before following him out.

"Leng Ming, Zhen Feng."

Descending from the second-floor meeting room, Zhou Liecheng chuckled and greeted Leng Ming and another who were waiting in the living room.

"Third Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou," Leng Ming and the other greeted Zhou Tong and Zhou Min.

After exchanging greetings, Leng Ming impatiently looked at Zhou Liecheng, "Zhou Liecheng, what are you busy with? When is Mr. Jiang arriving?"

Zhou Liecheng apologized, "Sorry, just now Grandfather summoned us for an emergency meeting. Since Mr. Jiang's plane is almost here, I sent my third brother to pick him up!"

"Your third brother? That bumbling guy? Can he pick him up properly?" Leng Ming frowned as he spoke.

Zhou Liecheng was slightly taken aback and waved his hand lightly, "Don't worry, I've already instructed him. Mr. Jiang is my honored guest, and I told him to be polite to Mr. Jiang!"

"Hmph! What kind of honored guest requires my son to personally pick him up?" A cold snort sounded, and Leng Ming and the others turned to look.

From the staircase, Zhou Jiang and others were coming down, with Zhou Hai staring discontentedly at Zhou Liecheng.

"Second Uncle, I asked Chengang to pick up Mr. Jiang to give Chengang more exposure, which would benefit his future! Since he follows me, I must take responsibility for him!" Zhou Liecheng responded calmly.

"Big brother!"

At this moment, a harsh cry erupted.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the villa's door was flung open, and Zhou Liegang, with a face full of agony, rushed into the living room supported by Liu Tiancheng.

"Chengang!?"

"What's going on?!"

"Damn it! Who dares to hurt someone from the Zhou Family in the northwest?!"

Seeing the miserable state of Zhou Liegang and Liu Tiancheng, everyone exclaimed in astonishment.

"Chengang, what happened? Who beat you up?!"

Zhou Hai quickly ran to Zhou Liegang's side, looking at his arm, his face filled with anger.

Everyone gathered around, with Zhou Liecheng frowning and asking, "Wasn't I sending you to pick up Mr. Jiang? How did you end up like this? Who did it?"

"It's that Jiang Chen!"

Zhou Liegang said through gritted teeth, "Big brother, that Jiang Chen is too arrogant. I kindly had Liu Tiancheng explain the rules to him but he didn't appreciate it; instead, he wanted you to meet him personally."

"You're the dignified heir of the Zhou Family's Family Head and the future Family Head. How can you lower yourself to meet a mere commercial family head?"

"We just taught him a lesson, and we didn't expect him to have his men attack us. Of course, we couldn't disgrace the Zhou Family's dignity and fought back."

"But who knew they'd overwhelm us with a larger number, leaving us in this state! Big brother, you must avenge us!"

Zhou Liegang began to spew wild lies.
