Chapter 728: 453 big bosses gather, a lineup of gods fighting (2 more updates)

The Liang Family members were like stars surrounding the moon, revered by everyone. The main curiosity was whether the Huo Family would actually show up today and what the relationship between the two families was.

"...Mr. Liang, you’ve kept this so secret, having connections with the Huo Family and not telling any of us."

"Exactly, that’s not fair. After knowing you for so many years, did you ever consider us as friends?"

"Yes, tonight at dinner, you must drink three penalties." After the daytime charity event, the Liang Family had prepared a banquet.

These people who had avoided him like a plague days before, were now flocking to curry favor. Liang Wenzhong despised this in his heart but still smiled and said, "They are just distant relatives, nothing worth bragging about."

"It’s only your family that wouldn’t brag. If I had such relatives, I’d make sure the whole Beijing knew."

"How can you compare to the Liang Family? They are understated, unlike you, all noisy and blustery."

...

People’s flattery made clear the relationship between the Liang and Huo families.

Affably described as distant relatives, they were actually quite unrelated. If from the same root and branch, at this critical moment of the Liang Family’s survival, stepping in to help would have been reasonable.

The outdoor event even had a small band playing, and with melodious symphonic music under the clear skies, the atmosphere seemed harmonious.

Right then, a roar of an engine grew from a whisper to a thunder, even overpowering the music at one point.

"Who the heck is that, making such a racket in Beijing!"

"We aren’t even in the city center." Lingnan was practically a suburb; some parts of the city center even banned honking let alone making this much noise, "It must be either a sports car or a motorcycle."

"Most likely Sir Jiang, who else in Beijing would dare be so brash..."

True enough, just as the words fell, a black shadow sped toward them, bringing a trail of dust, and with the screech of brakes, the vehicle came to a confident halt.

Though it was an outdoor venue, there was still a red carpet laid out at the entrance.

Everyone watched the end of the red carpet, where Jiang Chengsi, in a flight jacket, kicked down the motorcycle stand, removed his helmet, and nonchalantly ran his hands through his hair.

On someone else’s turf, such audacity was typical only of Sir Jiang.

"Why is he alone?"

"I’m not sure, but if Sir Jiang intends to stir trouble, given his destructiveness, that would be enough."

"Haha, you make it sound like Sir Jiang is as destructive as Thanos?"

"It’s not about the strength of destruction, but that he’s fearless. That’s what’s truly frightening."

...

The Liang family certainly did not want the Jiang Family around. Seeing Jiang Chengsi arrive, they signalled to each other. Honestly, they didn’t want to go over to greet him, but he was right at the main entrance, almost insisting they come to him.

Soon, guests began arriving in droves, and his blocking the entrance was becoming problematic.

"Dad, let me go over." Liang Wenzhong took a deep breath and was about to approach when more car noises came from afar.

Several vehicles followed soon after, and someone sharp-eyed immediately recognized the lead car.

"That’s Second Master Jiang’s car." Jiang Yanting, having been in the business circle for a long time, was well-known.

One by one, the cars steadied...

Everyone blinked!

Who were they trying to blind?

Jiang Yanting and his wife were making their first public appearance together after their honeymoon.

This was also the first public appearance for Jiang’s youngest son after he publicly "tore into" his own father.

Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan also rarely made public appearances together, especially after Tang Wan was injured by Liang Han, yet here they were, showing up in person in such a setting, obviously there to stir the pot.

As for the last person to step out of the final car, Qi Zeyan...

Dressed in a suit, with a side-parted slick hairstyle, and shoes so shiny they reflected light, he had always been a fixture in the business world, so his presence was nothing unusual.

But such a massive show of force had not been seen since Jiang Yanting’s wedding...

Though powerhouses gathered again shortly after, this was no wedding feast. The situation now was hardly comparable.

The Jiang brothers, in this formation...

If they weren’t here to wreak havoc, no one would believe it.

"Uncle Liang, long time no see." Jiang Yanting was the first to greet.

"Long time no see, just heard you returned from your honeymoon, didn’t expect you to attend."

"Charity work definitely needs support." Jiang Yanting spoke graciously. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Please, go in and feel free to sit wherever."

Jiang Jinsang showing up was one thing, but Liang Wenzhong hadn’t anticipated all the Jiang brothers arriving together, so neatly assembled.

Onlookers, keen for drama, began discussing among themselves.
