"Yes! If Miss Song really had a special regard for the Jiang Family, she wouldn't have let the three top-tier families book the entire clubhouse!"
"Right, right, right, since its opening, the Jinhuan Clubhouse has never been booked by anyone, not even by the three masters—Young Master Da, Young Master Jun, and Young Master Zhan—no one from Jincheng's top three families has been able to do it. If they could book it, their relationship with Miss Song must be extraordinary!"
"With Miss Song's support, our alliance with the Jiang, Zhang, Sun, and Meng families can definitely put up a fight!"
The Family Heads who had been slapped in the face by Jiang Chen began to show signs of interest.
In the hall of the banquet hall, Zhao Family Head Zhao Jianbin, Chen Family Head Chen Zhengping, and Liu Family Head Liu Tianming were sizing each other up.
"Chen Family Head, did you book the clubhouse?" Zhao Jianbin, unable to hold back, stared directly at Chen Zhengping.
Chen Family was closest to the Jinhuan Clubhouse, so Zhao Jianbin thought it was Chen Zhengping who had liaised with Song Wanqiu to book the entire clubhouse, offering them a show of strength.
Liu Tianming's eyes lit up, a hint of joy on his face, "Chen Family Head, you've really hidden this well! Having such a good relationship with Miss Song and not telling us! With Miss Song's support, we no longer have to worry about the alliance of the four Jiang families!"
"No!" Chen Zhengping's face changed as he said in surprise, "What do you mean I booked it? Wasn't it you who booked it?"
Zhao Jianbin and Liu Tianming's faces changed simultaneously as they exclaimed in unison, "Not you?!"
The three exchanged glances, their brows furrowing.
"What's going on? If it wasn't our three families who booked the clubhouse, it certainly couldn't be those people outside, could it? What exactly is happening?" Zhao Jianbin asked with a serious expression.
Chen Zhengping shook his head slightly, "Those guys outside definitely don't have the power. Not even the three top masters could book the entire Jinhuan Clubhouse, and even we, the top families, are not qualified, let alone those others!"
"Could it be like this?"
Liu Tianming's eyes darted as he said in a low voice, "Although Miss Song stepped forward to support Jiang Chen during the last ancestral tribute assessment, given Jiang Chen's arrogance, there was bound to be friction. Now, with Miss Song displeased with Jiang Chen, she might want us to teach the Jiang Family a lesson and then claim that we booked the clubhouse, indirectly showing her support for our action!"
"That... could be possible!"
"Yes! It must be like this!"
Zhao Jianbin and the others' eyes brightened as they spoke in unison.
The three almost instantly agreed with this self-gratifying theory.
"With Miss Song's secret support, we really don't have to fear the Jiang Family's alliance now. I was a bit nervous at the start, but now, I'm really looking forward to the moment when we suppress the Jiang Family together, to see what expression Jiang Chen will have!" Chen Zhengping's eyes gleamed with a cold light.
"Let's go, now that we have figured this out, we should go out too, it's time to get everyone's minds in line," said Zhao Jianbin as he rose and called out.
"Go!"
"Go!"
Chen Zhengping and the others responded and the three headed for the inner hall's entrance.
"They're coming out! The three Family Heads are coming out!"
"Zhao Family Head and the others are coming out!"
"Chen Family Head, was it you who booked the entire clubhouse?"
"It seems they're about to make an announcement!"
The numerous Family Heads in the banquet hall turned their eyes towards Zhao Jianbin and the others as they walked in from the side door.
"Fellow Family Heads, thank you for waiting!" Zhao Jianbin, with a light laugh, glanced around and nodded to the others, "We've gathered everyone here today to discuss a matter."
After a pause, Zhao Jianbin turned his head towards Chen Zhengping.
Chen Zhengping smiled slightly, then his face turned serious as he spoke out loud, "Everyone is aware of what happened today! The Jiang Family, at all costs, attacked the Wu Family and brought about its demise. Although Wu Family is but a second-rate family, everyone should be able to infer something from this event!"
"Exactly!"
Liu Tianming took over, "Ever since that child Jiang Chen took over as Family Head, the Jiang Family has been making big moves. First, they caused a split within their own family, then they destroyed the Wang Family, and now, they have even struck at a second-rate family. What are they trying to do?"
"Their Jiang Family wants to dominate Jincheng's business world!"
Zhao Jianbin also spoke out loudly, "Jiang Chen's wild ambitions have been laid bare. If we don't band together, we might be swallowed up one by one. Our families have been thriving for decades, even centuries. Would you be content to let him devour us all?"
"No!"
"Absolutely not, we can't let him destroy our ancestors' legacy!"
"We must unite against the Jiang Family and suppress their arrogance!"
Yu Hanwen and the other Family Heads from the First-Class Families were the first to respond, then they made eye contact with several other Family Heads in the crowd.
"Right, we must suppress them; they have gone too far!"
"That Jiang Chen is way too arrogant; we can't let him continue on this path!"
"Let's band together and crush their arrogance!"
"Destroy the Jiang Family and drive them out of Jincheng!"
"Destroy the Jiang Family!"
A few Family Heads, having caught Yu Hanwen and others' glances, shouted out loudly in unison.
All the people in the banquet hall turned their gazes towards those voices.
At that moment, the voices belonged to the Family Heads of five second-rate families, plus Yu Hanwen's three First-Class Families, and added to the three top-tier families, this strength already accounted for half the power of the families present.
The families that had come today already made up one-third of Jincheng's families, with the majority wanting to wait and see, and a small part aligning with the Jiang and other four top families!
"What are you all waiting for? Do you really want to bury the legacy of your ancestors?" Chen Zhengping shouted.
The still-hesitant families all furrowed their brows, struggling in their eyes.
"Everyone, I know what you're worried about. Think about it: we are only targeting the Jiang Family, not touching Meng, Sun, or Zhang Families. In this way, seeing so many of us attacking the Jiang Family, do you think they would rush into the fire?" said Liu Tianming confidently.
The Family Heads were taken aback for a moment and then realized, yes, everyone was worried about the alliance of the four top-tier families, but what if they all struck at the Jiang Family together? Would the other three families really come to Jiang Family's aid?
"Wow, what's all this excitement?"
Just as the crowd was about to make a decision, a light laugh rang out, and several figures appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and their faces changed in unison, with Zhao Jianbin and the others looking grim.
While Yu Hanwen and the others revealed a hint of panic in their eyes.
Jiang Chen had arrived.
