Forcing Us to Abdicate
The Great Elder was panting, the anger on his face was extremely apparent. These fellas are robbing us in broad daylight. They want us to lose our power, thoroughly, to gain what we have!
However, the Yu family was still once the tiger of Liao Bei. The two families dared not to attack them head on. They’re just testing the waters right now, they’re trying to intervene in the election of the next Yu family’s Patriarch. Which means that they’re trying to take away Yu family’s resources!
The Great Elder was a veteran; he knew what’s up… With both Patriarchs present and Wang Lingzhi at their side, this meant that they’re prepared.
The two Patriarchs were here to force them to abdicate. The Great Elder could not make a decision. The Patriarch really played such a crucial role. Yu Huagan had been sick for a hundred years. Yu Wangqing and Yu Wangnian fought against one another and were seriously injured. Nobody wanted this to happen; the Yu family’s situation was definitely dangerous.
“IF the Yu family cannot take control of the situation… I believe the two Patriarchs will gladly assist. The Yu family will certainly be safe and live without worry under their protections.” Wang Lingzhi said.
Safe? Without worry? Isn’t that taking away the power of the Yu family? Asking the Yu family to cut off its limbs? The Yu family would be controlled by the other two families, and they dare say such a thing?!
The Great Elder wasn’t foolish enough to not know what Wang Lingzhi was doing. Otherwise, the two families wouldn’t have come so quickly. It must’ve been him that told them about the situation.
The respect and trust they had given to Wang Lingzhi previously were utterly wasted as it was repaid with betrayal.
“Fellow Patriarchs, are you planning to have the Yu family become your dogs?” The Great Elder said without holding back.
“Haha, Great Elder you’re joking. We didn’t mean it that way, as the once Tiger of Liao Bei, the Yu family’s might is apparent. Great Elder is just overreacting.” Feng Luojiang said with a smile.
“Agreed. We’re only here to help the Yu family choose their new Patriarch, is that wrong of us? Is the Great Elder trying to reject our good intention?” Dongpo Tianchi said, pressuring even more.
“Agreed. I think the Great Elder will not reject our good intention, right? Let’s elect the Yu family’s new Patriarch tomorrow, what do you think, Great Elder? We can’t possibly stay calm without a new lord. This Liao Bei Region is pretty vast, the head, the tiger of Liao Bei must take this seriously. Is the Yu family going to become a coward if there’s an enemy attacking our land? I do not wish to see that, and so is the Great Elder, right?” Feng Luojiang added.
The three elders behind the Great Elder were silently gritting their teeth. They’re pushing them towards the edge. A weakened Yu family could not possibly have the strength to face an invader.
To face an outside enemy, one must first settle internal affairs! They will lose their current position in the region if they can’t even put the other two families in their place! The dragon vein would be their downfall.
Without power, strength, what would give them the right to have that much share of the dragon vein? 40% that was given to the Yu families, how could the other two families sit back and accept it?
The extra percentage of it would make others envious and jealous. The Great Elder knew all of this. The Yu family that had lost its fangs would become a target by the other families. They’re most likely trying to ask them to give away the right of the dragon vein, one that would seriously threaten their position.
“Alright. Tomorrow, The Yu family will elect a new Patriarch. Both Patriarchs could leave now and rest. We’ve already prepared the best rooms for the both of you,” the Great Elder said coldly. There’s no reason for him to be courteous anymore.
“That’s what we’re waiting for! We shall witness it together, tomorrow! The new Yu family’s Patriarch! Hahaha!” Dongpo Tianchi said.
Dongpo Tianchi left the hall right after.
“See you tomorrow, Great Elder, I, Feng Luojiang, can’t wait!”
“Great Elder, I, too, am helpless towards Brother Yu’s condition. However, the Yu family needs a new leader. Haha.”
The three of them left. The Great Elder’s expression became dark, coughing out a mouthful of blood.
“Big Brother, are you alright?”
“Great Elder, you…” The Second Elder quickly supported the Great Elder and asked.
“Damned Wang Lingzhi! Those fellas are obviously here to force us to abdicate. This time, our Yu family is in great trouble…” The Great Elder said while gritting his teeth as his hatred seeped out from his body.
However, this was the law of the jungle, countless people will come up and replace them the moment they fall. Their position was extremely dangerous. The 40% share of the dragon vein would be contested by the other two families. They’re trying to reshuffle the power distribution of the Liao Bei Region. But, is it that easy?
“Their motives are pretty obvious, trying to take advantage of our weakened state. In the past, those two families came to this land like dogs with tails between their legs. We’ve given away 60% of the dragon vein, now that our Yu family is in great danger, they’re coming straight at us for our remaining 40%. F*cking greedy dogs!” The Second Elder whispered.
“Yes, Wangqing and Wangnian, those two kids. Neither of them can lead, and both of them got heavily injured, and Huagan’s on death’s door. Is our family truly on the verge of falling?” The Third Elder said angrily.
“Those two families are obviously here to show their power due to the lack of leadership. Our Yu family wouldn’t have suffered such mockery if someone came out to lead. Our family is still not so weak as they could attack us so blatantly, I dare them to come at us.” The Fourth Elder harrumphed.
