Super War God in the City-Chapter 491 -
Tang Hongyi and another person looked over upon hearing this and saw that it was their third brother, Tang Jianzhong, who had returned. This guy had developed the light industry on Treasure Island, having influence in both the legitimate and underground worlds, and was doing quite well for himself. The three brothers could be said to support each other.
Right away, Tang Hongyi gave a brief account of the situation to the other two, who nodded in understanding.
"Big brother, whatever issues arise, we can face them together. I still have some clout with the grandmasters in Haojiang—there's no need to worry!" Tang Yinnian, the second elder, said.
"Hmm, I'm also quite familiar with the Sifang Lou over on Treasure Island. I can call upon a few grandmasters too, so don't worry too much!
If only you had told us about this matter sooner, we would have avenged you by now. No matter how tough that kid is in the international underworld, it's useless.
Don't forget, this is Huaxia's turf. They can't make any noise here!" Tang Jianzhong said calmly.
"Indeed, the third brother is right. Big brother, you fell into a fallacy at the beginning, thinking that because the mission failed, there's no one in this world who could handle him, which is a huge mistake!" Tang Yinnian likewise strongly agreed with Tang Jianzhong's words.
Hearing this, Tang Hongyi took a deep breath and suddenly saw the light, immediately responding with chagrin, "Ah, the old master was right. I was confined by this small corner of the world, even my thinking was so limited!"
Now, with the enlightening words from his two younger brothers, Tang Hongyi suddenly realized that he had indeed been scared out of his wits from the outset, falling directly into a strange cycle of perceiving the opponent as untouchable and unbeatable.
And this was probably exactly the effect the other side hoped to achieve!
Otherwise, after he put up such a bounty for assassination, why would the other side only try to get the platform to cancel the mission, and yet, after such a long time, not seek revenge?
He must be fearing something. Before, he had always been somewhat puzzled, feeling that something was off. But now he understood it all!
"Humph! It's outrageous. I dread that this boy might not dare to come today!" Tang Hongyi couldn't help but curse.
In fact, once some things are understood, one realizes that they are not as terrifying as imagined—it's all just frightening oneself!
Now, the more Tang Hongyi thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could slice Ling Fan into a thousand pieces and tear him apart while still alive.
"Big brother, don't put any pressure on yourself or feel guilty. You were just too close to the situation, while we, as observers, see more clearly. Whether that kid comes today or not doesn't matter. After today, we'll go right to his doorstep. That guy must have his vulnerabilities. Not a single one will be left. We'll see who is more ruthless!" Tang Yinnian said coldly.
Just then, Elder Tang Tang Liang walked in with the support of his granddaughter Tang Caiyan, followed by Tang Anqi and Phil.
"Hehe, seeing such harmony and unity among you brothers, I am relieved. In the future, the Tang Family has nothing to fear of decline!" Elder Tang readily expressed his gratification.
This was also related to his wise management. Over the past few years, he had been gradually divvying up the family assets, with each of his three sons essentially owning their independent enterprises.
Although the capital was consolidated in his hands, it was not too confusing, except for a common risk fund which took up the bulk. This money was for emergencies, to save the business if a problem arose, much like a water reservoir!
Since this did not involve issues of sovereignty and inheritance, naturally there were not as many disputes and conflicts as in other family feuds, making unity easier to maintain.
The only downside was that one day when the old master passed away, the size of the family's assets would inevitably be diminished due to the division, thus the glory of the past was irretrievable!
However, the old man had thought it through. Rather than letting the family be ruined by uncertain internal strife and infighting in the future, it was better to have each branch of the family continue the lineage.
"Hehe, Dad, brothers fight side by side, and father and son take the field together. Even under such harsh conditions, our great ancestor was able to conquer such a vast territory, all because of unity, right?" Tang Jianzhong said with a laugh.
"Very good, very good. With you all like this, I can rest in peace after a hundred years," Elder Tang chuckled, his heart filled with contentment.
"Dad!" Tang Caiyan called out to Tang Jianzhong, as the father and daughter had not seen each other for a long time.
"Hmm, stay close to your grandfather and learn well!" Tang Jianzhong nodded and advised.
Tang Anqi also greeted the two elders, and Tang Yinnian came over and explained to the old master, "Dad, Hao Nan and Shu Mei are abroad, and I'm afraid they can't make it back today!"
"Hmm, I understand, no worries!" Old Master Tang nodded. Hao Nan and Shu Mei were Tang Yinnian's two children.
"Elder Fu, Old Wu have arrived!" As this was said, the figures of the security at the door came through.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go greet the guests first!" the old master instructed them.
With the sound of his voice falling, two grey-clothed elders walked in.
"Old Master, you're back. I heard a while ago that your worthy grandson had an accident, and thought it was just a rumor. Didn't expect it to be true, Elder Tang, please accept my condolences," one of the elders said with his hands clasped.
"Thank you, Old Wu, for deeming it worth your while to come and offer condolences for my grandson, I am greatly appreciative!" Tang Liang replied politely.
This Old Wu, named Wu Hua, was a distinguished figure from the Xiangjiang School of Law. If it had not been for the Tang Family's immense local authority and prestige, such a person would not have been easily invited to attend.
Wu Hua shook his head, "Elder Tang, you're being too courteous. It's only right. Our relationship does not require such formalities!"
The Tang Family's status in Xiangjiang was illustrious and revered. Had the old master not been around, he might not have returned. But given Tang Liang's high standing in Xiangjiang society, even as a practitioner of law cultivation, he had to treat the situation with considerable respect.
This was a figure on par with Li Family's old master, Superman Li, someone not even the Chief Executive would dare slight lightly.
"Elder Tang, was your worthy grandson killed by Ling Fan?" the previously quiet elder standing next to Wu Hua suddenly spoke up.
Tang Liang sighed, "I'm somewhat embarrassed, it seems you already know!"
"When I heard the news yesterday, I guessed as much. Once, at the invitation of your worthy grandson, I visited Binzhou. To my shame, my skills were inadequate, and I was defeated by that youngster, losing an arm in the process before making it back!" the elder surnamed Fu said with a bitter smile.

This was none other than Fu Cheng, who had accompanied Wang Jing to Tian Yun to retrieve the sisters An Xixue back when they first acquired Fanxing.
Back then, Ling Fan had summoned lightning with a single word, flinging his soul away. Upon returning to Xiangjiang, Ling Fan's valiant reputation haunted him, becoming a heart demon, leading to a gloomy mood and stagnation in his cultivation ever since.
This time, his main reason for coming was to relish the spectacle and, if possible, to see Ling Fan fall at the Tang Family's hands, which would dissolve his heart demon.
Furthermore, the Wu Hua next to him was his sect brother and also the current sect leader of the Yin Ghost lineage. This sect brother refused to believe that Ling Fan was so formidable as to summon lightning with a word, and had also come to witness the situation firsthand today.
As they spoke, more and more people came to pay their respects. Among these visitors were chairmen of listed companies, self-made billionaires, top investment bank executives, and financial industry elites.
Almost every one of them had extraordinary status, and many were powerful and prestigious acquaintances of Tang Tiancheng's from his time alive. Several also had rumors circulating with celebrities, now all gathered in this villa to pay respects to their former friend.
Seeing that most of the expected attendees had arrived, Tang Anqi stood in the center of the courtyard, cleared her throat, and said, "Thank you all for coming, and thank you for paying your respects to my brother. Today, my grandfather would like to say a few words to you all!"
As she spoke, Tang Liang, assisted by Tang Caiyan, stepped forward!
