Chapter 8 Zhao Wu: The Zhao Family Will Rise Again!_1

In the room, the servant saw the Family Head Zhao Wu shift his gaze toward him.

He could only stand up helplessly.

And gave an answer.

"Family Head, the old ancestor of the Luo Family Ancestral Land seems to be in excellent spirits, and his condition is exceptionally good."

"In excellent spirits? Exceptionally good condition?"

Zhao Wu heard this and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

According to Wang Kun's judgment, that old thing in the Luo Family Ancestral Land should not have more than half a month to live.

The current state should be that he is already halfway buried in the earth.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to even think of going for a walk.

Even just moving the body slightly should be quite a difficult task.

But now...

The current situation of that old thing is so unreasonable.

It seems that the old thing must have eaten some sort of life-extending Spirit Pill.

Or it could be a case of a resurgence of vitality before death.

Between these two possibilities, Zhao Wu was more inclined to believe the latter.

"It seems that the old thing's time is nearly up!"

"The conflicts within the Luo Family Ancestral Land will erupt completely with the death of that old man."

"If that time really comes, the collapse and disintegration of the Luo Family will not be far off."

"And our Zhao Family in Qingshi Town will rise again at that time."

With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Wu waved his hand.

He dismissed all the Zhao Family servants in the room.

"Do you have a clear understanding of the locations and various information of the varying quality qingstone veins held by the Luo Family?"

"I understand, Father. I am naturally clear on such matters." Zhao Qian nodded slightly, his answer carrying a trace of unease.

Zhao Wu seemed to notice the uneasiness of his unreliable son.

He turned his head slightly and glanced at him.

Then, he spoke slowly: "Qingshi Town nearby is known for producing cheap, sturdy, and durable qingstone."

"About three hundred years ago, there were only three major families in Qingshi Town."

"These three families were the Hu Family, the Jing Family, and our Zhao Family that we are part of."

"The Hu Family managed all the marketplaces within Qingshi Town, controlled most of the trade, and had the strongest business capabilities."

"The Jing Family controlled all the gambling dens in Qingshi Town and had a large number of thugs under their command, possessing the greatest combat power."

"And our Zhao Family controlled all the qingstone mines near Qingshi Town."

"The mining and sale of qingstone nearby were all handled solely by our Zhao Family."

"The strength of our Zhao Family's clan was not much less than those two families."

"However, ever since that outsider Luo Family established themselves here in Qingshi Town, many things have changed."

"Who knows what methods the ancestor of the Luo Family used more than three hundred years ago."

"In an extremely short period of time, he discovered a large amount of qingstone mines that had never been found and mined before."

"As the number of qingstone mines held by the Luo Family gradually matched and then surpassed our Zhao Family's,"

"The situation changed dramatically in an instant."

"The mining and sale of qingstone"

"Were no longer under the sole control of our Zhao Family."

"Even the pricing of qingstone was no longer something our Zhao Family could set as we pleased."

"That outsider, the ancestor of the Luo Family at that time,"

"Not only firmly bit off a large chunk from our Zhao Family,"

"But even managed to firmly establish themselves in Qingshi Town because of it."

"Our Zhao Family ancestors did not lack the desire to resist back then, but the strength of the Luo Family's ancestor at the time was a bit too formidable."

"Thus, the matter was left unsettled."

As he spoke, Zhao Wu silently stood up and began to walk step by step towards his son, Zhao Qian.

"Father, why have you never mentioned this to me before?"

Seeing his father approaching, Zhao Qian instinctively took a step back.

"What's the use of telling you something that happened more than three hundred years ago?"

"Then, Dad, why are you bringing it up to me now?" Zhao Qian swallowed his saliva and took another step back.

He maintained a certain distance from his father, who was always so imposing.

Only then did he have the courage to lift his head and sneak a peek at his father's face, the Family Head.

As expected, it was just as he had predicted.

At this moment, it seemed that his father's expression wasn't too pleasant.

"Fool!!!" Zhao Wu looked at his son, Zhao Qian, who was cowering in front of him and was so foolishly inept.

He could not suppress his anger.

"I don't care whether you know about the Qingshi ore vein information that the Luo Family holds, or not."

"But I want you to memorize it all during this time."

"When the old man in the Luo Family Ancestral Land is dead and the Luo Family is too conflicted to unite,"

"that will be the perfect opportunity for our Zhao Family to annihilate the Luo Family."

"And I want you to take people and seize all those Qingshi ore veins the Luo Family holds in the shortest time possible."

Having said that, Zhao Wu quickly walked toward the door and slowly closed his eyes.

He tried to calm his fluctuating mood.

"Dad, even if the Luo Family cannot unite, their overall strength is still strong."

"Can our Zhao Family really wipe out the Luo Family in one fell swoop?"

Inside the room, Zhao Qian swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly as he asked such a question.

"You don't need to worry about that issue."

"You just need to take care of the tasks I've given you."

...

After this conversation was over,

Zhao Wu quickly left the room.

As the current Family Head of Zhao Family and a man known for his brilliance and wisdom, how did he end up with such a foolish son?

He was even afraid that if he continued to stay there,

he really would be infuriated to illness by his own son.

As for the issue of the Luo Family's strong overall strength,

Zhao Wu wasn't unaware of it; in fact, he knew far more about the Luo Family than his son did.

However, a united Luo Family was difficult to deal with.

But a Luo Family wracked with conflicts and unable to unite – wouldn't they be easy to handle?

Not to mention, just the fact that the majority of the Luo Family's elite servants were under the control of,

the third son of the Luo Family, the person with the greatest Combat Power.

The strong but simple-minded man,

always thinking about going out to experience the world – was he not easy to deal with?

To defeat the Luo Family, that third son was definitely a major breakthrough point.

...

Inside the room, Zhao Qian, the Young Master of the Zhao Family, watched as his father, the Family Head, disappeared from his sight.

Only then did he slowly exhale a breath.

He seemed to relax quite a bit.

It had to be said, by the side of his father, the Family Head,

Zhao Qian could always feel an overwhelming pressure washing over him like a tide, incessantly flowing towards him.

It even made breathing difficult for him.

"Can't we live in peace?"

"The situation of the four great families coexisting has already lasted for more than three hundred years."

"Is the Luo Family really that easy to handle?"

Although Zhao Qian didn't say it out loud, he still had some worries in his heart.

Besides, there was another problem...

The various information about the Qingshi ore veins held by the Luo Family.

Memorizing all of that was no simple task!!!
