Chapter 893: Chapter 893: The Zhan Family of Southern Sky

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Wu’s face tightened, asking urgently.

“It’s like this, Young Master! A group of people just arrived outside, claiming they are from the Zhan Family of South Tian, and they demand Master to meet them immediately, otherwise, they will force their way in!” Uncle Fu said quickly.

“Zhan Family of South Tian? Who are they?”

Xiao Wu frowned deeply, swiftly running through all the major forces in Shangjing in his mind but found no trace of this Zhan Family and didn’t know which family they belonged to.

“Hmph, these people are quite daring, to even disregard my Wu Family? Since they’re nobodies from who knows where, there’s no need to hold back.”

He snorted coldly and said, “Uncle Fu, immediately order them to be driven away! My father is entertaining distinguished guests and has no time for them. If they dare to retaliate, show no mercy!”

“But… Young Master, are you sure we should drive them away? These people seem to be dressed impeccably, and their demeanor is extraordinary! They seem to be of high significance.”

Uncle Fu hesitated as he spoke.

Xiao Wu was about to say something further when Wu Jindao’s voice interjected from the side.

“Hmm? What are you all discussing here? Ah Fu, which family did you mention just now?” Wu Jindao strode over.

“Reporting to Master, it’s the Zhan Family of South Tian.” Uncle Fu replied.

“Zhan Family of South Tian…”

Wu Jindao furrowed his brow, a hint of confusion flickering in his eyes, feeling the name seemed somewhat familiar, yet he was certain he hadn’t heard of it.

“Dad, there’s nothing to hesitate about, random nobodies dare to bully our Wu Family now! I’ll have them thrown out immediately to show these insignificant people some strength!”

Xiao Wu curled his lips, nonchalantly saying as he was about to instruct Uncle Fu again to drive them away.

“Wait!”

Just then, Wu Jindao shouted.

All eyes were drawn to him!

Only to see Wu Jindao’s face rapidly darken, more uncertainty and surprise blossomed in his eyes, a touch of sternness: “Could it be… that Zhan Family?”

In the vast land of Yan Country, after a millennia-long historical legacy, many illustrious families existed! Yet, in modern times, for various reasons, these families have increasingly retreated from public sight, most choosing seclusion and hiding.

However, this doesn’t mean they ceased to exist. Although they disappeared from the public’s view, with the passage of time, they gradually became forgotten by the world! Even their once illustrious fame, hardly anyone remembers now.

Yet, after years of recuperation, not only did these families’ power not wane due to seclusion, but it became ever more robust!

Although they rarely appear in the public’s vision and have never been reported by the media, they are like towering ancient trees growing on the city’s periphery, with roots already sunk deep into the soil, absorbing nutrients fully.

They hide behind the high walls of the bustling cities, yet control numerous resources, with influence spreading across various industries! Not only domestically, but also abroad they have vast businesses, drawing nutrients comprehensively, nourishing their family tree to grow fully.

These secluded families are like hidden beasts of wealth outside the city, their money-making ability terribly vast!

And the Zhan Family is one of these ‘beasts of wealth’.

The Zhan Family of South Tian, has always been very low-profile, and distinctly separate from the secular world, never publicly disclosing identity, nor participating in any events, nor releasing member information! Few people know they exist, and ordinary people simply cannot come into contact with them!

Only certain circles can know of their existence and interact with them. As for others who haven’t, they’ve only heard rumors and don’t know if they’re true or false! Wu Jindao falls among the latter.

Wu Jindao once heard of the Zhan Family by chance, informed by the powers behind him.

Although the other party didn’t fully disclose, only revealing fragments, he could still glimpse the family’s terrifying nature from scattered words!

It’s no exaggeration to say, compared with this Zhan Family of South Tian, the Wu Family isn’t even as thick as a small leg, simply not on the same level, let alone driving them out.

Thinking of this, Wu Jindao’s heart jolted.

He thought it lucky to have stopped his son in time, otherwise, if they anger the Zhan Family, the trouble it would bring the Wu Family would be significant!

But, it’s not completely certain yet, if it really is that Zhan Family, crushing them would be as easy as playing, and the Wu Family wouldn’t be able to resist at all.

“Dad, do you know this Zhan Family? Which power are they from?”

Seeing Wu Jindao’s face turn uncertain, seemingly aware of the other’s origins, Xiao Wu frowned and asked.

Wu Jindao took a deep breath and solemnly said, “Do you remember the awakened powers I mentioned earlier? If I’m right, they are one of those lions and crocodiles!”

What?

One of those lions and crocodiles!?

Xiao Wu’s face changed instantly, and his gaze turned heavy.

If Dad guessed correctly, then this time it’s not some nameless nobodies, but a real mighty force descending!

“Dad, if that’s the case, their intention to invade our Wu Family this time must be ill-intended…” Xiao Wu said earnestly.

“Correct! The Zhan Family’s sudden visit to Wu at this critical juncture clearly harbors ill intentions! Brother Wu, you’d better mentally prepare yourself.” Ye Xuan looked at Wu Jindao and advised.

“Heh, I always knew, this day would come! When I noticed the changes in the Shangjing situation, I was already prepared.”

Wu Jindao smiled calmly; if it’s a blessing, it isn’t trouble, if it’s trouble, it can’t be avoided, just didn’t expect it to come so quickly.

Ye Xuan said, “Old Brother Wu, there’s no need to worry too much, as long as I’m here, I guarantee you won’t be harmed; they can’t touch the Wu Family!”

Hearing these words, undoubtedly gave the Wu Family father and son a boost of confidence.

Wu Jindao was slightly relieved, smiling, “Then I’ll rely on you, Brother Ye! With you here, I have nothing to fear. Now I’ll go see this Zhan Family, to understand what trick they’re playing.”

“Alright, I’ll go with you!”

After saying so, Ye Xuan joined Lu Miaochan, following Wu Jindao out of the reception room.

Meanwhile.

At the Blue Lake Plaza in front of the Wu Family villa, two groups were confronting each other, one being the numerous bodyguards of the Wu Family, led by three middle-aged men, who were three of the five warriors of the Golden Saber Society.

Oppositely stood a group of people clad in resplendent attire. They included men, women, the old, and the young, seeming somewhat uneven.

Yet without exception, this group exuded a fierce aura, steady as mountains, vast as oceans, although they were far fewer in number compared to the opposition, they held no inferiority, instead causing the Wu Family’s crowd to show signs of fear.
