Chapter 83: The Increasingly Prosperous Wang Family_1
...
Judging from appearances, Wei Wenxun, under the years of "education" from the Wang family, has begun to comprehend the true meaning of the world's rules.
A powerful overlord like the Wang Clan, firmly rooted in power, is not something any City Lord can casually manipulate, let alone confront. Once the Wang clan gets serious, the Governor Wei Wenxun's decree might not even make it out of the City Guard Mansion.
The reason is very simple. The local Rank Eight or Nine, or even unclassified Profound Martial families, are no fools. The City Lord must be replaced every two or three decades, while the Changning Wang Clan has always been entrenched here, generation after generation.
Moreover, unlike other powerful clans in various cities, the Changning Wang Clan grows its size by making profits abroad. Instead of draining the blood of the local prominent families, it makes profits and develops together with them.
