Chapter 871 871: About to Rewrite the Structure of Jiangnan City!
The eldest son of the Wu Family, Wu Yuankai, came personally to speak with the four Patriarchs.
Ah?
Patriarch Jiang and the others were all taken aback, not expecting the Wu Family to suddenly approach them and be willing to help them in combating the Luo Family.
Wu Yuankai chuckled lightly, "You four second-tier families are facing external crises and seek a stable environment."
"My Wu Family is the same! With the Xu Family wiped out and the Luo Family gaining some of their assets, they have slightly surpassed my Wu Family and the Qi Family."
"To prevent the Luo Family from further expansion, which threatens the interests of my Wu Family, resistance is necessary."
"So, in this matter, we can be considered allies."
The four Patriarchs exchanged glances but did not immediately respond.
Patriarch Jiang said, "We appreciate the Wu Family's trust, let us consider this matter first, shall we?"
"Alright, but don't let me wait too long."
Wu Yuankai sneered, "It's best you provide an exact answer before nightfall."
"You are all smart people, don't do anything foolish."
Having said that, Wu Yuankai stood up and left.
The four Patriarchs gathered to discuss.
Patriarch Jiang sighed softly, "The Wu Family's intentions are quite clear, they want to use us for a proxy war to deplete the Luo Family's overall power."
"Exactly, the Wu Family wouldn't be so kind as to help us without their own gains!" Patriarch Yang whispered.
Patriarch Shen sighed, "But do we have a choice? Right now, the Luo Family is friendly with second-tier families like the Zheng Family, Chang Family, Zhu Family, and Zhao Family, and can already be considered allies."
"This is an absolute deadly threat to the Wu Family and Qi Family! It's understandable that the Wu Family stepped forward to draw us four families to their side."
Patriarch Han pondered, "In my view, it's not just the Wu Family acting alone; surely, they have reached a consensus with the Qi Family."
"The two first-tier families are orchestrating from behind, letting us lead the charge against the Luo Family's allied families."
"In the end, the two of them will join forces to deal with the Luo Family!"
The four Patriarchs were momentarily silent, as they dared not make a hasty decision in this matter.
After all, a slight mistake would render them mere pawns in the struggle between first-tier families.
"Everyone, give some thoughts."
Patriarch Jiang looked at the other three, "Wu Yuankai has made it clear that we must give an answer before nightfall."
"If we don't agree, we probably won't have anything good in store for us! The Wu Family will certainly find ways to suppress us, and the Qi Family will certainly take action against us."
Patriarch Yang sighed softly, "Either way, we face peril, so why not bet big?"
"Perhaps by aligning with the Wu Family and Qi Family, we might still find a chance for survival."
Patriarch Shen and Patriarch Han nodded in agreement, for it was indeed the only viable option.
"Alright then, since we've made up our minds, let's inform Wu Yuankai shortly."
"Next, we must proceed with caution and not act blindly."
Patriarch Jiang reminded softly, striving to preserve self-protection amidst this struggle.
Near nightfall, Wu Yuankai finally obtained a definitive answer from the four Patriarchs.
"Great, very good! You have made the clearest choice."
Wu Yuankai was very pleased, "Do not worry, once the matter is settled, only your four second-tier families will remain in Jiangnan City."
"Although you have the title of second-tier families, compared to those in other regions, you are much stronger."
The four Patriarchs smiled respectfully, knowing this was a sweet reward for them.
Quickly, Wu Yuankai conveyed this news to the patriarch Wu Anguo.
"Excellent! With these four families taking the initiative, we can confidently engage with the Luo Family."
"Also, keep an eye on the Qi Family! Don't let them find an opening!"
Wu Anguo instructed.
Wu Yuankai responded with a laugh, "Dad, for now, I don't think the Qi Family will stir any trouble; they'll also do their utmost to battle the Luo Family alongside us."
"Though once the Luo Family is defeated, the Qi Family will suddenly move against us. We'll strike first at that moment!"
"Hmm." Wu Anguo nodded, "Then get in touch with the Qi Family soon, prepare for this grand battle!"
"We will completely rewrite the order in Jiangnan City!"
