Zhang Wenjie and others followed Jiang Chen as they left, their faces all displaying expressions of extreme excitement.

They were well aware of their own family's strength, and today they had managed to annihilate eight of the nine great families and cripple one so quickly.

Jiang Chen had played the largest part in this!

While walking out of the banquet hall with Jiang Chen, Song Wanqiu's eyes were filled with shock as she gazed at Jiang Chen's profile.

This young man in his twenties could truly be said to have reached the pinnacle of the Flame Dragon Business World, the leader of the Jincheng Business Circle, was now undoubtedly his!

Song Wanqiu felt a strong premonition rising in her heart; perhaps, she could use his help to solve her own troubles.

This premonition had grown so strong it was almost bursting out of her mouth.

However, without knowing the current situation of Jiang Chen's martial power, Song Wanqiu swallowed the words that were about to escape her lips.

Perhaps it was still wise to observe for a while longer.

Song Wanqiu decided to keep observing, but the entirety of Jincheng was already in complete chaos.

Overnight, three of the top families had fallen, two families had dropped to the level of first-class families, and one had directly plummeted to the third tier.

The complete annihilation of the Eight Great Families sent the Jincheng Business Circle into a frenzy.

The major families were all eyeing the industries left behind by these eight families. The Zhao Family and two others had lost overseas industries, which they couldn't eye.

But the industries of the Yu Family and the other seven were mostly within the Flame Dragon Kingdom, with at least half in Jincheng. All the major families in Jincheng were red-eyed and waiting.

They were waiting, not daring to leap at these opportunities before Jiang Chen and the other four great families had finished dividing them. After all, this would be like stealing food from the mouths of Jincheng's new four great families, closely united in alliance. They certainly did not wish to follow in the footsteps of the Yu Family and the other eleven families.

The Jiang Family, Zhang Family, Meng Family, and Sun Family were all in action that night. After annihilating these families, amidst the astonished expressions of the other families in Jincheng, they pounced on the industries outside of Jincheng left by the eight families.

In Jincheng, only a part of the primary industries was occupied by one person; most were left untouched, while all the industries outside Jincheng of the Eight Great Families were seized completely into their own hands.

All the major families in Jincheng were stunned. They wanted to seize those industries within Jincheng but dared not do so.

Until a message came out from the Jiang Family:

The industries inside Jincheng, let's divide them!

In that instant, dozens of families in Jincheng went mad.

Almost simultaneously, they acted, and within less than ten minutes, they had snatched up all the remaining industries.

After this, the prestige of the Jiang Family in Jincheng soared to its zenith. No major family in Jincheng dared to utter a word about dealing with the Jiang Family, not even within their own homes!

And Jiang Chen, the new Family Head of the Jiang Family, had become a... god in the eyes of these families' members!

...

In the West Suburbs of Xi Bo, there is a large estate villa covering an entire small hill.

In a place like Xi Bo, where land is incredibly valuable, building such an estate is not something money alone can accomplish!

Currently, the open parking lot at the entrance of the estate is filled with various luxury cars, men and women in formal attire and dazzling beauty are making their way towards the small square in front of the main villa of the estate.

On the small square, long rows of tables have been set out, covered with various beverages and snacks.

Servers dressed in white shirts, black suits, black shoes, and black bow ties around their necks moved between the tables and the guests.

Today marks the hundred-year celebration of Tang Shengmin, the Lou Family Patriarch, and guests from all quarters have been arriving!

After the Ouyang Family fell from the Four Great Martial Arts Families, the Lou Family replaced their position, and the breakthrough of the Lou Family Patriarch qualified them to be a top family. Another family that has similarly made a breakthrough is the Tang Family.

Hence, the original four along the riverbank have now become the five great martial arts families of the riverbank.

The Tang Family, was among them and still remained a peak business family of Jincheng.

Moreover, the Tang Family's position was not just unparalleled in the Flame Dragon Kingdom; they also held significant influence internationally. Therefore, attendees of today's celebration included not only the business and martial arts circles of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, but also some international forces!

On the expressway from Jincheng to Xi Bo, a Knight XV was speeding along.

Ever since the Jincheng business circle stabilized, Jiang Chen spent some quality time with the ladies until the Tang Family Patriarch's centennial brought him, along with Ye Jingyi, Tang Wanru, and Yan Hu, rushing to Xi Bo.

In the car, Yan Hu was driving, Tang Wanru sat in the front passenger seat, and Jiang Chen and Ye Jingyi were in the back seats.

Suddenly, Ye Jingyi's face slightly changed, she glanced at Yan Hu who was driving, and then at Jiang Chen next to her. Opening her mouth as if to say something, her face reddened slightly, but then she swallowed her words.

"Yu Zi, let's stop at the upcoming service area for a rest. Everyone can use the restroom, and we're not far from Xi Bo now!" Jiang Chen said softly when a service area appeared ahead.

"Yes, Young Master!" Yan Hu nodded lightly and steered towards the service area.

Ye Jingyi gave a slight start, looking up at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled gently at Ye Jingyi and whispered in her ear, "What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"I, I just used the restroom. I've got my period!" Ye Jingyi murmured, her face flushing slightly.

Jiang Chen's brow quirked up, a faint look of disappointment flashing across his face.

Recently, under Shen Xiaoqin's urging at the Jiang Family, he had been laboring diligently. Unfortunately, Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn had just gotten their periods a few days earlier, so his hopes had been on Ye Jingyi. However, now Ye Jingyi's period had started too!

"The revolution has not yet succeeded; Comrade Jiang Chen must continue to strive!"

Ye Jingyi noticed the slight disappointment in Jiang Chen's eyes and chuckled softly.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then leaned over and whispered fiercely in Ye Jingyi's ear, "I will try harder. Once your period is over, I will make sure you can't leave the bed for three days!"

Ye Jingyi's body trembled slightly at his words, and she gave Jiang Chen a stern look, playfully punching his chest twice.

Squeak!

The sound of the brakes echoed as the car stopped in the service area parking lot.

Ye Jingyi pushed away Jiang Chen's arms and got out of the car, her face still flushed. Tang Wanru chuckled lightly, glancing at Jiang Chen before opening the door and following out.

"Young Master, the Young Mistress seems to have changed..." Yan Hu chuckled softly, turning to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled proudly, "Has she become gentler? Women, when they meet the person they truly love, do change. Yu Zi, you're not young anymore, it's time you found someone too!"

"I..." Yan Hu suddenly blushed, displaying a shy expression.

"Hmm?" Jiang Chen's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Yan Hu incredulously, "Do you have someone you like?"

Yan Hu nodded slightly, "They... aren't they all going back because of the selections soon happening over at Flame Dragon?"

"Flame Dragon's? You like Zhu Yan?" Jiang Chen's eyes brightened.
