On the other side, the Huang family.
Huang Huahu, sitting in his wheelchair, made a decision quickly after learning of Feng Zhan's background.
Ye Kunlun had crippled his legs. Although surgery would allow him to recover in a year or two, this humiliation could not go unavenged.
“Feng Zhan, do you guarantee you can kill Ye Kunlun?”
“This kid’s strength is unfathomable. Even the Jinglei Sect avoids him. You must know, Zhou Lie is dead, and there are very few people in the capital who dare to trouble him!”
Huang Huahu naturally wanted to kill Ye Kunlun, but the name Wujian Prison was like a curse, making many in the capital who wanted to move against Ye Kunlun reconsider.
“Since I have come to you, I naturally have the confidence to kill him.”
Feng Zhan said with a confident smile to Huang Huahu, “I just saw him at Capital University. Although his strength is great, he is still just one person.”
Huang Huahu pondered, then shook his head. “If it were just a matter of killing him with numbers, our Huang family could do it. I am worried about Wujian Prison behind him, and its Warden!”
“What if someone can suppress Wujian Prison?”
The scar on Feng Zhan’s forehead twitched, adding a touch of ferocity to his face.
Hearing this, Huang Huahu frowned and considered, “As far as I know, in the capital, besides Qintian Tower and Tian Ting, which are equally famous, there is only Shanhe Tai that can suppress Wujian Prison…”
Mentioning Shanhe Tai, Huang Huahu’s expression grew more serious, as Shanhe Tai involved the Son of Heaven and the Saint.
“In my opinion, Qintian Tower and Tian Ting can do nothing against Ye Kunlun. Gu Changsheng and the Nangong family have already suffered setbacks at his hands.”
“As for Tian Ting… my influence cannot reach there for now.” Huang Huahu glanced deeply at Feng Zhan, meaningfully asking, “Could it be that you have informants in Tian Ting?”
Feng Zhan shook his head, “You are overthinking it.”
Huang Huahu frowned, “Then it must be Shanhe Tai.”
“A few days ago, I went to Shanhe Tai to meet the Son of Heaven and the Saint, but I was stopped by Eunuch Yuwen. The one in Shanhe Tai does not seem to want to move against Ye Kunlun.”
After analyzing, Huang Huahu looked at Feng Zhan with some confusion. “It’s not Qintian Tower, nor Tian Ting, nor Shanhe Tai. Is there anyone or any force in the capital that can suppress Wujian Prison?”
Feng Zhan chuckled, “The dignified Tiger King, and one of the Eight Gates of the capital, Huang Huahu, have you forgotten that place?”
Huang Huahu shivered, his eyes flashing with alarm. “You, you mean… that place?”
“Exactly, Wuxiang Palace!” Feng Zhan replied.
Huang Huahu’s face turned grim, and he said gravely, “Feng Zhan, are you insane? If the people of Shanhe Tai find out you have dealings with people from Wuxiang Palace, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to annihilate your entire Feng family!!”
“If you intend to use Wuxiang Palace to deal with Ye Kunlun, I cannot cooperate with you on this matter.”
Huang Huahu dared not take this risk. He understood too well the consequences if the people of Shanhe Tai discovered his collusion with Wuxiang Palace.
He dared not gamble his entire Huang family!
“Hahaha!”
Hearing Huang Huahu’s words, Feng Zhan burst into laughter. “The name Tiger King seems to be nothing more than that. The Tiger King of the past, with a single roar, would shake the entire capital three times. Now you’re afraid of Ye Kunlun and Wuxiang Palace!”
Despite Feng Zhan’s taunts, Huang Huahu’s face turned ugly, but he remained unfazed.
“What if I told you that there is a hundred percent certainty of killing Ye Kunlun without anyone realizing it was Wuxiang Palace’s doing?”
Feng Zhan stopped laughing and looked at the grim-faced Huang Huahu.
“Ye Kunlun crippled your legs and your grandson. Can you really tolerate this?”
Feng Zhan continued, “Cooperating with me is your only chance for revenge. Besides Wuxiang Palace, to suppress Ye Kunlun, it would require the combined efforts of the Seven Great Families of the capital, or the intervention of Shanhe Tai.”
“Otherwise, killing him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!”
After Zhou Lie’s death, Shanhe Tai made no move.
Feng Zhan saw from this that the person in Shanhe Tai wanted Ye Kunlun to use this opportunity to stir up the waters in the capital.
As one of the three generals of the Donghai War Zone, he could see this clearly.
Moreover, apart from the War Zone, not many other noble and influential families in the capital had grudges against Ye Kunlun.
They would not have enmity with Ye Kunlun over Zhou Lie’s death.
But he was different. Everyone in the capital knew he was a soldier brought up by Zhou Lie, and countless eyes were watching him.
They were also watching the actions of the War Zone.
If even the generals whom Zhou Lie had once led remained indifferent to his death, it would be a complete laughingstock in the eyes of the world.
No matter what, Feng Zhan had to return and cooperate with Ye Kunlun to stir up the capital’s waters again.
Huang Huahu fell into silence.
Cooperating with Feng Zhan was indeed the best option.
His desire to kill Ye Kunlun was also unwavering. Ye Kunlun was like a thorn in his flesh.
Until that thorn was removed, he would be in constant discomfort!
“Let me think about it again.”
The two worry beads in Huang Huahu’s hand clacked urgently, mirroring his inner turmoil.
Feng Zhan knew he had to push Huang Huahu further.
“Does the Huang family want to be promoted to one of the Seven Great Families of the capital?”
Feng Zhan offered Huang Huahu a greater temptation.
Huang Huahu was startled by Feng Zhan’s words, “You, what did you say?”
“I said, does the Huang family want to be promoted to one of the Seven Great Families of the capital!” Feng Zhan repeated.
“Feng Zhan, are you kidding me?” Huang Huahu’s expression turned grim. “The Seven Great Families of the capital have been rooted in the capital for a thousand years and are already unshakeable. You’re asking if the Huang family wants to become one of the Seven Great Families? I think you’re insane!”
Feng Zhan, however, let out a cold laugh. “What if they have been rooted for a thousand years? What does it matter if the Seven Great Families are replaced?”
“Huang Huahu, as long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee that within ten years, the Huang family will definitely become one of the new Seven Great Families of the capital!”
Feng Zhan patted his chest to assure Huang Huahu, “I know your hesitation is due to fear of implicating the Huang family. Don’t you want the Huang family to advance further? As the head of the Huang family, don’t you even have this ambition?”
Huang Huahu gazed at the arrogant Feng Zhan. He admitted that Feng Zhan had more ambition than him!
“Give me a clue, on what grounds will the Seven Great Families of the capital be replaced?”
Huang Huahu was tempted, but he needed Feng Zhan to reveal more.
Feng Zhan leaned closer to Huang Huahu and whispered in his ear, “All I know is that three of the Seven Great Families of the capital are destined to be destroyed. Gu Changsheng of Qintian Tower also knows about this!
And the three vacant spots, the Feng family and the Huang family will definitely be able to fill them!”
“Gu Changsheng also knows…”
Huang Huahu savored this sentence.
Gu Changsheng was the楼主 of Qintian Tower, his divination of heavenly secrets unmatched in the capital.
He never expected that Gu Changsheng would be in league with Feng Zhan.
“I have said all I can. The choice is yours!”
With that, Feng Zhan stood up.
