"He is the Head of the Jiang Family?!"

"Damn! He's the Chairman of Longteng Group, Yi Chen Group, and Jiuzhou Group?!"

"Holy shit! The head of the Jiang Family! The head of one of the eight top-tier families of Jincheng!"

"So young, and already the head of a top-tier family, damn!"

"This, this, this is fucking terrifying, thank goodness I didn't offend him!"

A series of exclamations rang out in the courtyard as everyone stared at Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Shocked! They were all shocked!

Xiao Anjun was shocked!

Li Zheng was shocked!

Zhuge Jun Cheng was shocked!

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked!

If the Yi Chen Group was not considered an untouchable power in everyone's eyes, then Jiuzhou Group, Longteng Group, and the Jiang Family of Jincheng were each a massive force that could scare the living daylights out of people!

In an instant, everyone in the courtyard broke out in a cold sweat, feeling extremely fortunate. Thank goodness, thank goodness they hadn't been too presumptuous!

Thud!

Li Zheng was completely panicked, falling to his knees, his face filled with terror as he kowtowed and begged for mercy from Jiang Chen, "Head of the Jiang Family, I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare me, please spare me, spare our family, I won't dare again, I won't dare again!"

"Jiang, Jiang Chen..."

Xiao Anjun wanted to say something too but found himself unable to speak.

Most of his family's business relied on the Lu Family, and with Lu Chengfeng severing ties with the Xiao family, Xiao Anjun's family would suffer a heavy loss. However, he couldn't bring himself to beg for mercy. Thinking back to his past sarcasm and disdain, and his previous conversation with Jiang Chen in Dingjing, he wished he could just crawl into a hole.

He was filled with so much regret he could barely stand it!

"What are you all waiting for? Get them out of here!" Lu Chengfeng bellowed.

A group of guards stepped forward, dragging Xiao Anjun and the two others, straight out of the Lu Family's estate villa.

Chen Lan looked at Jiang Chen full of regret and then chased after the others from the courtyard.

Xiao Yunna stepped up to Jiang Chen's side, full of apologies, "Jiang Chen, I'm sorry, thank you!"

The apology was because of Xiao Anjun's actions towards Jiang Chen, and the thanks were because Jiang Chen, in consideration of her, had not destroyed the Xiao Family.

"You don't have to apologize to me; it's not your fault. However, this is the last time," Jiang Chen said lightly.

Xiao Yunna's heart trembled intensely. She understood what Jiang Chen meant by the last time; it was the last time he would let the Xiao Family off. If Xiao Anjun dared to be presumptuous again, the Xiao Family would surely face extinction.

"Thank you."

Xiao Yunna thanked him again, took a deep look at Jiang Chen, and then turned to walk out of the courtyard.

But as she reached the courtyard gate, she could no longer hold back her tears and let them flow.

Her heart was in pain.

She knew this man was now beyond her reach.

For the Jiang Chen she once did not take seriously had now become someone she could only look up to.

The distance between her and Jiang Chen was as vast as the stars themselves.

But she would never forget this man, she would always hide his tall figure in her heart!

...

At that moment, Tang Feng struggled internally for a moment before stepping toward Jiang Chen, "Head of the Jiang Family, Jun Cheng was ignorant and has insulted you. I have no objections to whatever punishment you impose, I only ask that you be merciful and spare the Zhuge Family this once!"

"I know what you're worried about. As for the actions against the Zhuge Family, I can assure you that I won't let the Chixiao Sect get involved, it will simply be a business war," Jiang Chen said indifferently, glancing at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng let out a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously, "Thank you."

Others might think that Jiang Chen's declared identities were all he had, but Tang Feng didn't believe so. Given the support Jiang Chen had received from many in the Chixiao Sect, and the fact that they had increased the defense of the affiliated families, there had to be more to it.

More importantly, Tang Feng knew that the Jiang Family of Jincheng had once also been a family affiliated with the Chixiao Sect, and now, judging by the behavior of people like Li Wushuang, it was definitely not the way one would treat the head of an affiliated family, and that was something for Tang Feng to ponder deeply!

Xiao Anjun and the other two were sent away, and silence fell over the courtyard for a time, before it burst into unprecedented liveliness, even more so than when Xiao Anjun and his peers were present.

Jiang Chen became the center of all this excitement, with a host of young men rushing over to make conversation and a group of women constantly rubbing up against him, scaring Jiang Chen back into the villa.

After a noisy night, Jiang Chen and his people stayed at the Lu Family's villa. That very night, Yi Chen Group teamed up with Jiuzhou Group to begin their campaign against the Li Family of S Province and the Zhuge Family along the river.

With the Lu Family's deliberate or inadvertent assistance, the Li Family of S Province was wiped out by Yi Chen Group overnight.

The Zhuge Family along the river.

In the middle of night, the manor villa of the Zhuge Family was brightly lit, as Zhuge Qingfeng, head of the Zhuge Family, urgently convened the main members of the family in the conference room.

"Who can tell me what's going on? Why have Yi Chen Group and Jiuzhou Group gone mad attacking us?" Zhuge Qingfeng, sitting at the head of the table, started the meeting with a grim face.

A middle-aged man sitting to the side and slightly behind Zhuge Qingfeng, upon hearing the names Yi Chen and Jiuzhou, slightly frowned, a contemplative look in his eyes.

"Head, the Yi Chen Group is insignificant, but Jiuzhou Group is among the top five hundred corporations in the world. Their sudden attack on us, and so hasty, must mean we've offended them," a middle-aged man to the left of Zhuge Qingfeng said with furrowed brows.

"Am I not aware that we've offended them?" Zhuge Qingfeng replied in a stern voice. "I want to know, how did we offend them? Although we don't fear Jiuzhou Group, how do we fight such a senseless war?"

"This..." Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, none of them knowing what had happened.

Ding ding ding!

A mobile ringtone sounded, and a young woman sitting to Zhuge Qingfeng's right took out her phone and said softly, "It's a call from Tang Feng."

"Third Young Master? Yuhan, answer it quickly!" Zhuge Qingfeng urged eagerly. "If Third Young Master is calling at this time, it must be related to Jiuzhou Group's attack on us."

Zhuge Yuhan nodded and answered the call.

Listening to Tang Feng's words on the phone, Zhuge Yuhan's frown deepened.

After hanging up, Zhuge Yuhan sighed and gave a bitter smile, "Dad, let's concede. Let's concede our other business interests to Jiuzhou and Yi Chen, retract entirely back to GD Province, and give everything else to Yi Chen Group and Jiuzhou Group."

"This... Why? What did Third Young Master say?" a shocked Zhuge Qingfeng exclaimed.

"Yes, Yuhan, what did Third Young Master say?"

"Yuhan, how can we concede? We're not afraid of Jiuzhou Group!"

"Yeah, and Yi Chen Group is even less of a concern!"

The members of the Zhuge Family all began to voice their dissatisfaction.

"The reason Yi Chen Group and Jiuzhou Group are attacking us is because Jun Cheng offended someone in S Province, a person named Jiang Chen, the chairman of both Yi Chen Group and Jiuzhou Group, and he's also the head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng! Jun Cheng... insulted the Head of the Jiang Family, calling him an 'upstart wild child'!" Zhuge Yuhan said quietly.

"What, the head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng?!"
