Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 853 - 851: What the Hell! (Second Update)

The gray-haired man looked at the three powerful figures who could shake the Capital City just by stomping their feet, and remained seated.

Third Young Master Wang was relatively fine, but the heads of the Zhou Family and Murong Family were already over seventy years old, and they carried immense authority.

Seeing that the man didn’t stand up, a flash of displeasure flickered in their eyes.

"Who are you!"

The Zhou Family Head’s tone was immediately hostile towards the man. Even though the Zhou Family owed a significant favor, it didn’t mean the other party could slight them!

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the steward of the Xuanyuan Family. My master, your creditor, has invited you here for a momentous opportunity."

As he spoke, the Xuanyuan steward casually tossed three documents that landed firmly in the hands of the three men, as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

Third Young Master Wang’s eyes narrowed slightly; this move was clearly intended to intimidate them.

The Zhou Family Head and Murong Family Head held back their anger, took seats, and chose not to dwell on the man’s earlier rudeness.

If not for having integrated those fragmented memories, Third Young Master Wang might have been intimidated too.

However, with part of Junior Master’s memories, Third Young Master Wang merely considered the Xuanyuan steward’s actions as a clownish act.

Still, Third Young Master Wang said nothing and followed suit by sitting down. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Then he began to review the materials before him.

The Zhou Family Head and Murong Family Head, upon seeing these materials, were immediately overjoyed.

Although they had maintained their positions in the Four Great Families over the years, only they knew the truth.

Compared to the Xie Family’s genius-like Young Master and Wang Family’s decisive Third Young Master Wang, the Zhou Family and Murong Family were clearly at a disadvantage.

Lacking capable younger generations, even at over seventy, they couldn’t yet fully relinquish control.

Now presented with a chance to swallow up the Xie Family, it was an unexpected blessing for both families.

Yet, despite the happiness inside, they didn’t show it.

After putting down the material, the Zhou Family Head spoke up, "Does the Xuanyuan steward not know, we of the Four Great Families are interconnected..."

The Zhou Family Head’s pompous speech was interrupted by the Xuanyuan steward.

"If the Zhou Family isn’t interested, letting the Wang and Murong Families swallow this prize isn’t bad either."

The Zhou Family Head: ...

Damn it, who taught you to interact with people like this, handling matters so crudely without any back-and-forth!

Opening with such directness left him at a loss for words, truly lacking in decorum!

With the Zhou Family Head stepping up, the Murong Family Head tested the waters a bit more tactfully.

"The Xie Family isn’t so easy to deal with. Although your master has shown kindness to our Murong Family, wanting us to act as a blade against the Xie Family might be somewhat inappropriate."

The Xuanyuan steward wasn’t surprised by their words, thinking these aristocratic family heads were somewhat hypocritical.

Clearly benefiting themselves, they still wanted to occupy a moral high ground, as if all the bad things they did were reluctant acts.

"Is the Murong Family Head certain that dealing with the Xie Family is for my master’s sake? Without capable heirs, once you two pass away, both the Zhou and Murong Families might fall within a few years.

Then, who can guarantee that your families won’t be eyed by other covetous families?"

The Murong Family Head’s expression turned as cold as the Zhou Family Head had earlier upon being called out.

Despite their tempers, their heirs might not match Xie Xuzhi or Third Young Master Wang, but they were more than capable of crushing other families.

"Since the Xuanyuan steward knows everything, why don’t you deal with the Xie Family yourselves instead of using our three families?"

When it comes to sarcasm, who falls behind anyway.

The Xuanyuan steward’s intention was to suppress these three families for better control.

Who would’ve thought, these people’s tempers were increasingly foul!

"Outrageous!"

The Xuanyuan steward barely got the words out.

Third Young Master Wang’s teacup suddenly crashed to the floor.

The crisp sound of collision and shattering instantly drew the Xuanyuan steward’s attention to Third Young Master Wang.

"Indeed, the Wang Family owes you a favor, but that isn’t a reason for your impudence. After reviewing the material, the Wang Family can cooperate, and then our debts are cleared.

If there are no further matters, I have other affairs to attend to and will take my leave."

With those words, Third Young Master Wang stood up and left.

Except for his deceased parents and brother, no one else had the authority to shout orders at him. What nonsense!

The Zhou Family Head and Murong Family Head watched Third Young Master Wang leave before them.

The two elderly men exchanged a glance and saw the regret in each other’s eyes, wishing their families had a hardline descendant like that.

"What Third Wang said is also what the Zhou Family intends."

The Zhou Family Head stood up as well, took the material, and turned to leave.

The Murong Family Head, seeing the Zhou Family Head’s quick reaction, cursed him inwardly as an old fox.

Calmly standing up, he smiled lightly, "Then it’s settled."

When only the Xuanyuan steward was left in the meeting room, he shattered the table with a palm strike.

"If not for needing your help, I would have sent you to meet King Yan long ago!"

Back in his car, Third Young Master Wang instructed his assistant sitting in front, "Check on Young Master Xie’s whereabouts.

Also, have someone keep an eye on Yun Ran and any recent happenings at the Xuan Sect."

"Yes, Third Young Master!"

As the partition in the back seat rose, Third Young Master Wang looked at the material in his hand, chuckled lightly, and tore it in half.

Previously, he would’ve been very interested in such a collaboration.

But now, having integrated those fragmented memories, he realized there were many things unbeknownst to outsiders in this world.

He wasn’t foolish enough to drag the Wang Family into these Xuan Sect people’s schemes.

With the memories in his mind and his connection with Yun Ran and Qingfeng Temple, it was more than enough to protect the Wang Family.

After returning home, the heads of the Zhou Family and Murong Family gathered their confidants to discuss.

Ultimately, both families decided to hold steady for now and watch the Wang Family’s actions.

If the Wang Family made a move and struck a fatal blow to the Xie Family, they would then step in to reap the benefits.

At that point, even if they got just a sip, there would be no risk, merely pure gain.

In all this scheming, no one was a fool, each waiting to become the biggest winner.

All these events in the Capital City reached Gu Yuan’s ears in real-time.

"Luckily, I acted swiftly and decisively, or else I really would’ve been swept clean with the pot and ladle."
