Chapter 559 - Seven Great Families (2/2)
As long as he could reach the middle level of the Gold Core Realm, he might not be able to kill a level nine supreme power master, but at least he could rival a level eight supreme power master.
In order to get as much information as possible, he asked, “Who is the strongest among the seven great families in the capital?”
Ye Qing said, “The seven major families are not much different from each other. They are almost similar in strength, at least on the surface.
“At this level, in fact, the final competition was related with force. Whoever had more strength had the right to speak, and the economic strength was not the most important. If you had money but not enough strength as a guarantee, you would lose it in the end.
“Among the masters, the most important thing was the number of ninth level supreme power masters. A ninth level supreme power master was more important than ten eighth level supreme power masters.
“After years of development, the seven major great families of the capital have already reached a state of balance. There are at least two ninth level supreme power masters in each family. As for their hidden power, it’s hard to say.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Isn’t there anyone who is more powerful?”
“No,” Ye Qing said, “Twenty years ago, the Qin family had a once-in-a-lifetime genius, who displayed astonishing talent in the area of martial arts. He was known as the most likely master to break through the bottleneck of the supreme power realm and reach the Saint Realm.
“It’s a pity that the Qin family was too eager for a quick success and instant benefits. They insisted on controlling Qin Zongheng’s marriage and made an alliance with the Yan family. Finally, Qin Zongheng ran away from home in a fit of anger broke all communications with them.”
Qin Haodong suddenly thought of a problem and asked, “How is the Haodong Group compared with the Han family?”
“There can’t be compared!” Ye Qing shook her head and said, “Although the Haodong Group has powerful financial resources, it can only be called a group. It’s not a great family because there’s no matching force to protect it.
“In the entire Haodong Group, I am the only one who has reached the seventh level of the supreme power realm. Sister Xuanyue is a third level supreme power master, and there are no other martial arts masters in our group.
“Think about it, how can this strength compare with the other families? If Sister Xuanyue didn’t come from the Chu family, she would have been defeated by the other families.”Access vi pnovel.com
Qin Haodong said, “You just killed three elders of the Han family, will it bring trouble to the Haodong Group?”
“I don’t think so,” Ye Qing said, “I guess it wasn’t the Han family master’s idea this time. More likely it was Han Zaixing who secretly mobilized the power of the family. Although three people died, it would not have a big impact on the strength of the Han family.
“If the Han family makes trouble for the Haodong Group in public, it would be a slap to the Chu family’s face. After all, Sister Xuanyue was the favorite daughter of the Chu family master. Maybe it would cause a full-on war between the two major families.
“At present, there’s a delicate balance between the seven major families in the capital. Once any of the two major families take the lead to start a war, whether they win or lose, once their strength is damaged, they will be eaten by the other five major families.
“Therefore, unless there is no other choice, no family would be foolish enough to start a dispute. After all, the masters of the major families are all experienced guys, and none of them are easy to deal with.”
Qin Haodong nodded. Then they talked about some other topics. Unknowingly, they had reached the capital.
While in the Haodong Group, Chu Xuanyue received a message from Ye Qing, saying that Qin Haodong and herself were already on the way back to the capital.
She was extremely excited by the prospect of finally seeing his long lost son after twenty years. She tossed and turned in the room. Every few minutes, she would look at the clock on the wall, hoping that Qin Haodong would arrive sooner.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door. She quickly jumped back into bed and pretended to be weak. She said, “Come in.”
As soon as the door opened, her assistant came in. She said, “Manager, Mr. Han is here. He said he wants to see you.”
Chu Xuanyue waved her hand and said, “I won’t see him. Tell him I’m ill at the moment. I won’t see anyone.”
“Okay, I will tell him now.”
The assistant agreed, but before she left the room, Han Zaixing came in, followed by an old man in a long robe.
He said happily, “Yue, why won’t you see me? Are you still angry with me?”
Chu Xuanyue didn’t expect him to come in. She frowned and said, “What are you doing here? I’m ill now. I don’t want to see outsiders.”
“Yue, what are you saying? We grew up together. We were childhood playmates. How can you say I am an outsider?”
He pointed to the old man behind him and said, “I know you’re unwell, so I invited Mr. Zhang Jingsheng to treat you.”
Chu Xuanyue said, “I will look for a doctor by myself, thank you. It’s none of your business.”
Han Zaixing said, “Yue, health is the most important thing. Don’t lose your temper. Let Mr. Zhang have a look at you.”
Chu Xuanyue said, “No need. You may go now!”
“Why you don’t need it? Is it because you’re not sick?” Han Zaixing said that and looked at Chu Xuanyue with deep meaning.
Thinking that she pretended to be ill to meet her son, Chu Xuanyue was afraid of revealing a flaw, so she could only be patient. She said, “Is it necessary for me to pretend to be ill? Since you brought a doctor here, let him have a look!”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand.
Zhang Jingsheng came to the head of the bed and placed his hand on Chu Xuanyue’s pulse. But at this moment, Chu Xuanyue felt her wrist grow numb, and then her whole body lost strength.
She said in her heart, “Oh no!”
This Zhang Jingsheng was not a doctor at all, but a supreme power master who took advantage of the diagnosis to control her. This was a trap set by Han Zaixing!
