Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1349: Made the Right Bet

What is a top-tier family?

It's not just about reaching a first-class level of wealth; it also requires strong connections and influence, which implies status.

The Wei Family can only be considered second-tier because its influence, beyond Sea City, is in several surrounding provinces and cities, and doesn't reach the top position in the business world.

In these aspects, the Wei Family falls short of Ouyang Jingming by more than just a few lines.

"Why is Ouyang Jingming here?"

Wei Lan found it hard to comprehend, as in her impression, Li Feng wielded immense power in Sea City, commanding both fear and respect.

Hmm, although these adjectives might be exaggerated, they indicate Li Feng's status within Sea City. Even the three top-tier families there dared not provoke him.

With a massive cash flow, Li Feng existed as a hidden tycoon, though he lacked family backing.

Otherwise, Li Feng would undoubtedly be the head of all families in Sea City.

The Wei family duo had yet to find an answer, when Ouyang Jingming seemed to notice them glancing his way, giving a slight nod.

But before the two could respond, Ouyang Jingming quickly turned and jogged away.

Hmm?

Wei Zhongze and Wei Lan were not angry but rather looked in Ouyang Jingming's direction and saw him open the car door like a valet.

This scene left the Wei duo quite surprised.

Their attention focused on the person inside the car.

What kind of person would warrant the door being opened for them by a past East Continent District CEO?

"Second Uncle."

Ouyang Jingming smiled towards the person inside the car, none other than his second uncle, the Sect Leader of the Ouyang Family in Yan Country.

The Ouyang Family is a Chinese family that went to the Northern Federation for fortune over a hundred years ago and established roots there. Thirty years ago, during Yan Country's reform and opening up, his second uncle resolutely returned to support the nation's development.

Single-handedly establishing the foundation of the Ouyang Family in Yan Country.

With the booming economy in Yan Country, his second uncle's branch has increasingly prospered, almost rivalling the main branch in the Northern Federation.

Ouyang Jingming naturally admired this second uncle, who dared to think and seize opportunities.

"Second Uncle, what brings you to this party?"

Ouyang Jingming was quite surprised; after taking up the East Continent District CEO position here, his first task was to visit this powerfully ranked second uncle in Sea City.

Ouyang De got out of the car, adjusting his suit. Despite being in his fifties, he remained vigorous and spirited, no less than the younger generation.

"I'm here to meet some juniors. Aren't you supposed to fly to Beihai Country?"

Ouyang De looked at this outstanding junior in the Ouyang Family, who became the East Continent District CEO at such a young age, not just because of ability.

After all, those aware understand that even for several generations of Chinese in the Northern Federation, there's a career ceiling.

However, Ouyang Jingming broke this ceiling not only because of the Ouyang Family backing him but also because he married into another prestigious family in the Northern Federation.

Ouyang Jingming, standing beside Ouyang De, replied, "It's just that I received an invitation and had to come."

"Oh?"

Ouyang De responded, "You must know already?"

Ouyang Jingming blinked, then continued, "Second Uncle, the one inside is renowned internationally. Truthfully, we have to give him face."

The uncle and nephew, conversing as they entered the Emperor Residence, clearly had some information gaps.

They hadn't coordinated their visit.

Ouyang De knew that Ouyang Jingming, coming from the Northern Federation, had an inherent pride; not dismissive, but selective about whose invitations he accepted.

Ouyang Jingming had a similar view. His second uncle held a significant position in Sea City, especially with his official connections drawing much attention.

His attendance often set tongues wagging.

"Lan'er, Grandpa picked the right bet this time."

Wei Zhongze's usually serious face couldn't hide his excitement, as attending this party put a good deal of pressure on him.

After all, there were three families with substantial business backgrounds.

If they truly boycotted the Wei Family, it wouldn't last a round before collapsing, undoing decades of their effort.

"Oh, Grandpa, who is the person for whom Ouyang Jingming opened the door?"

Wei Lan briefly glanced, but had little impression.

"Hrmp, you youngsters never follow the news, so you wouldn't know him, yet he has the surname Ouyang and holds strong influence in Sea City."

"Oh?"

Wei Zhongze didn't elaborate much, saying just enough, feeling utterly relieved now. As for the Sect Leaders still observing in the hotel, Wei Zhongze shook his head internally.

They'd already lost ground just by missing this event.

Wei Zhongze was certain that soon, those dismissive Sea City families would flock to this party.

This Hidden Dragon always brought surprises.

Of course, for some, it was less a thrill than a shock.

A short while after the Ouyang uncle and nephew entered, a lone red sports car appeared at the door once more.

The dazzling red sports car gleamed like a fire, amidst the dusk like the setting sun.

The valet stepped forward to open the car door.

A stunning beauty in a red evening dress, resembling a blossoming rose, alighted from the car.

Sea City's female demon Xiao Mingyue clutched her purse and glanced at the entrance to Emperor Residence.

"Well, to have created such a den right under my nose, let's see what trick you're pulling tonight."

Xiao Mingyue stepped forward with her long legs, the valets at the door gulping at her imposing presence.

After checking the invitation, they promptly let her through.

"Li Feng, still dwelling here with your thoughts? It's almost seven o'clock, and not a single guest has arrived?"

Wang Jin'er, embodying the persona of a worried eunuch, had anticipated it might be a quiet affair, but didn't expect it to be lonely.

"Why rush? There's still a few minutes left."

Wang Jin'er rolled her eyes, "Hrmp, since you're not worried, why should I be? If no one shows, let's see how you save face."

Wang Jin'er spoke sulkily while Li Feng glanced aside.

"Don't fret, someone's here now."

"Oh."

"Feng Shao."

Wei Lan raised her head and waved at Li Feng, escorting Wei Zhongze forward.

"Old Wei, didn't expect you'd personally attend."

"Haha, Feng Shao's invitation mustn't be declined; besides, Lan'er receives much care from you, and I've long wanted to thank you personally."

"Boss, the carefree Shopkeeper you are, I thought you'd nearly forgotten about me."
