The Liu Sheng family was unaware that Zhao Chunqiu's son had died many years ago.

They always regarded Zhao Chunqiu, their mortal enemy, with extreme caution.

Although the Liu Sheng family could not compare to Parleya Castle, they were the vanguard of the Kawabata family.

Despite the Kawabata family being in the small land of the East, they were not easy to provoke.

This is a family that would stop at nothing to develop.

Murder, arson, tyranny, and all kinds of heinous acts were common in the Kawabata family's history.

In the early stages of their rise, most of the women in the family were even prostitutes, providing funds for their development.

Such a diabolical family, with no regard for rules, morality, and having no limits, is certainly very frightening.

Their development was naturally very rapid.

For the Kawabata family, morality and law were mere jokes.

Thus, even in the small land of the East, the Kawabata family had gained a power comparable to the Parleya family.

Some of their ruthless and unscrupulous traits even became inherited by most people in the East.

This made these individuals seem polite on the surface, yet fiercer inside, with no moral limits at heart.

With the Kawabata family's protection, the Liu Sheng family was living quite well, and developing swiftly.

The Kawabata family's intelligence network had even uncovered a crucial piece of information.

Someone had procured all the raw materials needed to prepare Yang Xuan Iron.

This was certainly not a coincidence; apart from Zhao Chunqiu, there couldn't be anyone else purchasing these materials.

Now, this intelligence had already been delivered to the Liu Sheng family by the Kawabata family.

Liu Sheng family, council chamber.

All the senior members of the Liu Sheng family were kneeling behind the low table.

Clearly, they were taking this matter very seriously.

After all, they had killed Zhao Chunqiu's entire family; as long as Zhao Chunqiu was not dead, he might do the same to them.

How could they possibly not take it seriously?

Su Fan was still unaware of the happenings across the ocean.

He also didn't know that the Kawabata family's intelligence network was so powerful, even specially monitoring the sources of Yang Xuan Iron materials.

At this time, he had already returned to his office.

His conflict with Bai Man had already ended earlier.

Su Fan was leaning on his seat, pondering over the grand plan to advance Yang City as a whole.

Logically, this was something that Jiang Gao, the mayor, needed to do, and for a city to rapidly develop seemed impossible.

But that wasn't the case; Tianhai and Qinggang also started off as mere small fishing villages.

Now, Tianhai is an international trade metropolis, and Qinggang is an important port that had once even caught the attention of Germans.

Although Yang City didn't have maritime advantages, it could seek development in other areas.

For instance, turning Yangcheng Medical University into one of the top three medical universities in China.

Making the affiliated hospital of the medical university one of the top three hospitals globally, as well as in China.

Turning his Oriental Medicine into one of the top three pharmaceutical giants globally, as well as in China.

In this way, all aspects of Yang City would be rapidly driven to develop swiftly.

Thus, he also needed two more titles: president of the Yang City Business Association and president of the Yang City Pharmaceutical Association.

Obtaining these titles wouldn't be difficult for him.

He was already the president of the Yang City Martial Arts Association, and he intended to guide the martial arts, business, and pharmaceutical realms of Yang City in the future.

No one knew of Su Fan's ideas at the moment.

A phone call that surprised him greatly also came at this moment.

It was a call from overseas, from Japan to be exact.
