Chapter 277: Escape in Secret

The He Family in Yan City had stood its ground for nearly a century, being the largest and oldest family in the city.

However, with the emergence of the other three major families, the He Family lost its initial glory. Thirty years ago, the family was thrown into chaos due to a woman. The family head killed quite a few people, resulting in casualties and injuries in the family's main line. This allowed the other three families to take advantage of the chaos. Yan City's power balance shifted from He Family's dominance to the mutual checks and balances of the four major families.

The He Family had formed an under wraps alliance with the City Lord of Yan City many years ago, tipping the scales in its favor over the other three families. But when the City Lord was arrested two years ago, the He family lost more than half of its properties. Ironically, they were unable to protest, and could only watch half of their decades-long foundation slip away before their very eyes.
