1184 The Regrets of the Tian Family
“Patriarch, if the Cuilian Array Disk are really as the rumors say, our Tian family can’t fall behind. Otherwise, it’ll be extremely disadvantageous for our Tian family if other family clans take the initiative.” The Second Elder spoke first.
Third Elder also nodded. “That’s right. The Tian family must get the Cuilian Array Disk first. Right now, the Long family and the Xia family are suppressing us. If there’s no breakthrough, our Tian family will be devoured sooner or later.”
Tian Hongchuan frowned and glanced at Tian Hongqing, who was sitting at the head of the table.
“Third Brother has a good relationship with Steward Zuo of the Octagon Auction House. Even if we have the money to buy it, we might not be able to.”
As soon as Tian Hongchuan said this, the expressions of everyone present immediately changed. Tian Hongqing’s face even darkened.
“Fourth Brother, what do you mean?” Tian Hongqing looked at Tian Hongchuan with an unfriendly gaze.
Tian Hongchuan smiled honestly. “Second Brother, I’m just telling the truth. I don’t mean anything else. Don’t think too much.”
The First Elder frowned deeply and was already a bit regretful in his mind for forcing Tian Hongcheng away.
“Hongcheng is a member of the Tian family no matter what. Even if a man’s bones are broken, his tendons are still connected. He probably won’t interfere in this matter.”
Even though the First Elder said so, he wasn’t exactly confident either.
“I hope so.” The Second Elder sighed heavily. “If Hongcheng is willing to help, our Tian family might be able to get a few more Cuilian Array Disks.”
“Hongcheng isn’t a heartless person. No matter what, we’ve been together for so many years. He won’t stand by and do nothing.” The Third Elder also nodded and echoed, “But which one of us is going to Haichuan City?”
As soon as the Third Elder said this, the First Elder, the Second Elder, and Tian Hongchuan immediately looked at Tian Hongqing.
Tian Hongqing, who noticed their gazes, looked incredibly gloomy.
However, the First Elder acted as if he didn’t see his gloomy expression and said, “Patriarch, as the patriarch now, there are some things that you need to deal with yourself. No matter what, Hongcheng and you are biological brothers. What overnight grudge will there be? As long as you say a few good words, I believe Hongcheng won’t continue to hold on to it.”
The First Elder’s words clearly meant for Tian Hongqing to lower his head and apologize to Tian Hongcheng. After all, in the eyes of the First Elder and the others, Tian Hongqing was the one who wanted to chase Tian Hongcheng and his son away.
If he wanted to appease Tian Hongcheng now, Tian Hongqing would naturally have to apologize personally.
“That’s right. Hongcheng isn’t a petty person. As long as you talk nicely, it’ll definitely be fine,” the Second Elder chimed.
The Third Elder and Tian Hongchuan didn’t say anything, but their meaning was the same as the First Elder and the Second Elder.
Facing the “coercion” of the four of them, Tian Hongqing was filled with hate. Of course, he still hated his third brother, Tian Hongcheng, the most!
Back then, Tian Hongcheng had snatched his position as the patriarch. Now that he finally regained the position of the patriarch, he had to bow down to Tian Hongcheng again? That was definitely impossible!
“Aren’t you thinking too highly of Tian Hongcheng? He’s just a little acquainted with the manager of the Octagon Auction House. Do you think he can make decisions at the Octagon Auction House with just a bit of friendship? How ridiculous!”
Tian Hongqing had a cold expression. Ignoring the ugly expressions of the First Elder and the others, he directly flicked his sleeves and left. “I don’t believe that I can’t get the array disk without Tian Hongcheng!”
Looking at Tian Hongqing’s departing figure, the First Elder and the others looked a bit dissatisfied.
