"Great! No problem!"

Lin Zhenggang and others, upon receiving the message from Hua Zhiqiang, hurriedly rushed to the Shenghua Hotel, and after a discussion, they reached a thorough consensus.

With the support of Hua Zhiqiang and added pressure on the old masters in Dingjing, Sky Venerate City was to be completely banned. Consequently, Yi Chen's losses would be enormous—Sky Venerate City represented nearly half of Yi Chen's investment.

Thus, a message spread throughout the entire Dingjing business community.

The Four Great Aristocratic Families, in alliance with Flame Dragon Merchant Hua Zhiqiang, blacklisted Sky Venerate City, forbidding anyone from doing business with it, threatening that those who defied the ban would be enemies of the Four Families and Hua Zhiqiang!

As the message got out, Gong Lin was the first to panic, immediately calling Jiang Chen to the company.

"Jiang Chen, it's bad this time. The Four Great Aristocratic Families have completely torn off the facade, and now Hua Zhiqiang has joined them. This means the old masters in Dingjing will likely start pressuring us too!" Gong Lin said with a worried look at Jiang Chen.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he said coldly, "Don't panic, I'll make a phone call first."

Pulling out his mobile phone, Jiang Chen began to dial.

Before he finished dialing, Jiang Chen's phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, Jiang Chen answered the phone with a light laugh; "Hello, Elder Shen, I was just about to call you."

"Haha, Mr. Jiang, if you hadn't said that, this old man would have had to rebuke you. Facing such big trouble and not seeking out this old man, are you looking down on me?" Shen Zhenguo's hearty laughter came from the receiver.

Jiang Chen replied with a smile, "Elder Shen has heard?"

"Heard it, of course. With such a stir, I'd be deaf if I hadn't heard! Mr. Jiang, rest assured, I'll take care of those old masters for you, making sure they don't trouble you!"

Jiang Chen's eyes brightened, "I truly appreciate it, Elder Shen. I'm not afraid of the rest, but those old masters can be quite troublesome."

"Haha, what's there to worry about? In a couple of days, you won't even think those guys are trouble!" Shen Zhenguo's words carried an underlying profound meaning.

Jiang Chen paused, asking with surprise, "Elder Shen, what do you mean by that?"

"Haha, you'll know in a couple of days. I won't reveal it just yet! Just know that those old masters won't trouble you, I'm hanging up now!"

Beep beep...

Looking at his phone with the busy tone, Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head. No matter what Shen Zhenguo meant, he was certain Shen wouldn't harm him. With Shen's assurance, he could go all out!

"Lin Lin, no need to worry! Since they want to confront us, then we'll take this opportunity to see who truly stands with us and who isn't worth our friendship anymore!

Sky Venerate City, reopening the day after tomorrow!

Today you issue the hero invitation, I want to see how they plan to blacklist us!"

Jiang Chen said with a determined look.

Gong Lin had a flash of worry in her eyes but said nothing, nodding in agreement.

Regardless of whatever decisions Jiang Chen made, she would support him fully, even if it meant jumping into an abyss—as long as Jiang Chen leaped, she would jump after him.

And in Gong Lin's eyes, taking a hard stand against the Four Great Aristocratic Families and Hua Zhiqiang, the influential Flame Dragon Merchant, was akin to leaping into that abyss.

But she, Gong Lin, did not care!

The news of Sky Venerate City's reopening, less than half an hour after the announcement of the ban by the Four Great Aristocratic Families and Hua Zhiqiang, spread throughout the business circle of Dingjing, causing an uproar.

They knew that this was Sky Venerate City, or rather, Yi Chen was planning to take a hard stand against the Four Great Aristocratic Families and the Flame Dragon Merchant Hua Zhiqiang.

And this head-on clash was directly related to the status of Yi Chen and the Four Great Aristocratic Families.

Once Yi Chen won, Dingjing would no longer be under the divided rule of the Four Great Aristocratic Families. This new force, Yi Chen, would emerge powerfully, pressing down on the Four Great Aristocratic Families.

However, if the Four Great Aristocratic Families won, Yi Chen, this rising star, would fade into obscurity, losing his cutting edge in the struggle.

This was truly a gamble that would decide the fate of the heavens and the earth!

While Lin Zhenggang and others received the news of the grand opening of Sky Venerate City, they were in Hua Zhiqiang's hospital room. Due to his worsening condition, Hua Zhiqiang had been transferred from the hotel to a top-tier ward in Dingjing's premier hospital.

"Haha, Mr. Hua, that Jiang Chen actually announced the grand opening of Sky Venerate City the day after tomorrow. He's really got some nerve!" Lin Zhenggang laughed heartily.

"Cough cough!"

Hua Zhiqiang coughed twice, his face filled with scorn, "Hmph! That kid is just playing the hero. He wants to go for broke at the last moment, haha. This time, I want to see how ugly his face will look when no one shows up to his grand opening the day after tomorrow. At that time, I'll make sure he kneels before me begging to treat my illness!"

"Right, let him kneel before Mr. Hua. We must thoroughly humiliate him, show him for the arrogant braggart he has always been!" Fang Zhengshan's eyes flashed with a wild craze.

Finally, it was time for revenge, time to avenge his son!

Not just Fang Zhengshan, Zhou Long, Yue Tianming, and Lin Zhenggang all had crazed expressions in their eyes.

For so long, Jiang Chen's side had suffered little to no losses, while their four families had seen death and disability. It was a first for the Four Great Aristocratic Families, and they had long since harbored deep hatred for Jiang Chen.

Now that they were on the verge of defeating Jiang Chen, a strong sense of vengeful pleasure surged in the hearts of all four.

Just as Dingjing was hit by stormy waves, the Jiang Family of Jincheng also fell into a vast vortex.

Ever since Jiang Chen established Yi Chen, Jiang Minghui had been restless. Seeing Yi Chen gradually growing stronger was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. Knowing that it would be difficult to suppress Jiang Chen with his own power alone, and with the Wan Family failing to succeed, Jiang Minghui felt extremely agitated.

"No, I can't let this continue!"

A cold light flashed in Jiang Minghui's eyes, and he decided to utilize the Jiang Family's power. However, if he wanted to use the Jiang Family's power, he couldn't bypass Elder Master Jiang. Jiang Minghui's eyes turned crafty, The Four Great Aristocratic Families and the Flame Dragon Merchant's declaration of war against Sky Venerate City provided a perfect excuse that he couldn't afford to miss.

Therefore, Jiang Minghui waved his hand and called for a family meeting!

The great conference room of the Jiang Family of Jincheng.

Following Jiang Minghui's notice, most of the influential figures of the Jiang Family had gathered here.

"It has been a long time since we've had a special family meeting, huh!"

"Indeed, it's been five or six years, I believe. Other than the regular reporting meetings, it's rare to have an emergency meeting."

"Has something happened?"

"I don't know, but the Family Head seems off lately, growing more and more irritable!"

With Jiang Minghui yet to arrive, the people of the Jiang Family began to discuss among themselves.

"Hey! There's an extra seat there today!"

Suddenly, a member of the Jiang Family pointed to a chair next to the Family Head's usual seat and exclaimed in surprise.
