Chapter 998: Be the First to Join
The five factions in Taishi City are the Zhou Family, the Lang Family, the Chen Family, the Magic Sword Gang, and the Fierce Snake Gang.
The Zhou family, the Lang family, and the Chen family are all affiliated families of the Taishi family, and are all married to the Taishi family, but 50% of their annual income will be handed over to the Taishi family.
The Shen Dao Gang and the Fierce Snake Gang have not entered into a marriage relationship with the Taishi Family. The industries they control are all industries that the Taishi Family disdains. However, if they want to survive in Taishi City, they must hand over 70% of their annual income to the Taishi Family.
In this way, the Taishi family can gain benefits without worrying about tarnishing their reputation.
But are these five families really willing to hand over most of their annual income to the Taishi Family?
In the past, even if they were unwilling, they did not dare to show it, because the Taishi family could easily destroy them, without even having to do it themselves. As long as some rumors were spread, there would be a lot of people who wanted to curry favor with the Taishi family. Come take the initiative to destroy them and replace them.
But now, the senior officials and elites of the Taishi family are hiding, and the mansion has been destroyed by Qin Tian.
It is inevitable that the five forces have other thoughts.
However, some of their forces were oriented toward the Taishi family, and there were quite a few of them, so a quarrel arose.
Zhou family, meeting hall.
The head of the family, Zhou Xian, sat in the main seat with a calm expression, completely turning a blind eye to the two groups of people making a quarrel below.
One party is dominated by the great elder Zhou Yuan. He is a loyal supporter of the Taishi family because his daughter married the daughter of a deacon of the Taishi family.
The other side was led by the Second Elder. He proposed to take advantage of this opportunity to break away from the control of the Taishi Family and take the initiative to make friends with Qin Tian. Because Qin Tian currently does not have many people, it should be said that they are quite sparse. If he wants to annex the Taishi Family, The territory under his command alone is not enough.
After all, many industries need to send people to manage them.
Even if he had ten times more people, it would still not be enough. If the Zhou family could take refuge at this time, they would have a great chance of being reused.
Generally speaking, there are more people who support the second elder's proposal, accounting for about three-fifths. The remaining two-fifths support the first elder. The first elder's reason is that the Taishi family has a deep foundation. Even if it fails for a while, Sooner or later, they will call back. When the time comes for liquidation, they will definitely be liquidated first and surrender to Qin Tian first.
"hehe!"
The second elder let out a string of sarcastic laughter: "Even the mansion was destroyed, and the Taishi family didn't dare to say anything. How dare they fight back? Don't forget, the man in Shentu City was killed in one breath. There are more than a hundred upper gods, how many upper gods can the Taishi family have?”
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by many people.
The great elder said coldly: "So what? Qin Tian is too murderous. As the saying goes, if a tree is as beautiful as a tree, it will be destroyed by the wind. He will die sooner or later. Although the Taishi family cannot compete with him, the Taishi family can unite." Other forces!"
"It's a joke. If the major forces could really stand up to Qin Tian, why would they hide!"
The second elder's tone became even more disdainful.
"That's because the time has not come yet!" The great elder insisted.
"The time has not yet come, so the Great Elder might as well tell you when the time will come?" the second elder said aggressively.
Suddenly, there was a bit of hesitation on the Great Elder's face. He slowly scanned the people who supported him and found that some people's faces were already a bit shaken, so he said in a deep voice: "Okay, in that case, I will tell you the news that the major forces in our third divine realm have jointly funded the invitation of the masters of the Blood Clothes Tower to kill Qin Tian? "
"Although Xueyilou is powerful in assassination, he may not be Qin Tian's opponent!"
The second elder looked stern and his tone was no longer so confident.
"Really, but what if it's a super killer from the fourth divine realm?" After the great elder revealed the news, he found that the faces of those who appeared had regained their composure, but it was the people from the second elder's side. There was a wavering.
After a slight silence, the second elder continued: "Great Elder, is your news true?"
"It's indeed true!"
At this moment, a very beautiful female voice sounded, and then an attractive girl with long hair shawl slowly stepped into the meeting hall, followed by two pretty maids.
"However, I just received the news that the owner of the Bloody Clothing Building has died, and even their lair has been taken away. In addition, a gold medal killer also died, and the other three gold medal killers have gone into hiding. By the way, it is said that they will take action This person is the super killer invited by the owner of the Bloody Clothes Building, Tu Shen!"
As soon as these words came out, the first elder's face turned extremely pale, while a look of surprise appeared on the second elder's face.
The moving girl continued: "If I'm not wrong, the super killer from the fourth divine realm is dead. The person who massacred the Blood Clothes Tower was just because of his identity. As for who that person is, everyone here may wish to guess. Guess?"
After saying this, the charming girl paid homage to Zhou Xian regardless of the great elder whose expression became extremely complex: "Daughter pays homage to her father!"
"No need to be polite, Yi Xin, thank you for your hard work this time!"
Zhou Xian finally spoke, and a smile appeared on his calm face. After signaling Zhou Yixin to take a seat, he looked around and said, "I hereby decide to seek refuge with Mr. Qin Tian, and leave the matter of contacting Mr. Qin to Lian Xin. , do you have any opinions?”
The second elder was the first to express his support: "We are willing to listen to the opinion of the family head!"
"Where are you, Great Elder?"
Zhou Xian's eyes fell on the great elder's face.
After a slight hesitation, the Great Elder said calmly: "I reserve my own opinions!"
Zhou Xian's face turned cold, and he didn't say much. Finally, he said to Zhou Lianxin: "Lianxin, go ahead. Don't let Mr. Qin down. Your father is waiting for your good news here!"
"Yes, father!"
Zhou Lianxin stood up, greeted again, and left the meeting hall with two maids.
In the private room on the top floor of Taishi Tower, the table was filled with various delicacies. Chi'er Cheng, the incarnation of Taotie, tried to eat the food on the table.
Just then.
The shopkeeper knocked on the door carefully and came in, bending over and saying: "Sir, Miss Zhou Lianxin of the Zhou family is here to see you!"
"Well, arrange her to another private room, I'll be there in a while!"
Qin Tian nodded. He had expected this.
After a while, under the guidance of the shopkeeper, he came to a private room. After the shopkeeper took the initiative to open the door, he stepped in and saw a charming girl with black hair down to her waist standing there quietly.
"Zhou Lianxin of the Zhou family greets Mr. Qin!"
Zhou Lianxin bowed gracefully.
"Sit down!"
Qin Tian said calmly, and then sat down first.
"Thank you."
Zhou Lianxin bowed again before sitting down.
At this moment, several spies quickly rushed into the Lang family, the Chen family, the Divine Sword Gang and the Fierce Snake Gang.
After Qin Tian moved into the Taishi Building, they sent spies to closely monitor Qin Tian's movements. After discovering Zhou Lianxin, the spies realized that the Zhou family might have made the decision to surrender. As the saying goes, one step ahead, every step ahead. The Zhou family will definitely get the most benefits if they surrender first.
Since the Zhou family has decided that if they can't be the first, they must be the second. This is why the spies hurried back. (To be continued)
