Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1910: Chapter 1767: Discussion

"Why isn’t Big Brother here yet."

After a while, a middle-aged man with a crew cut suddenly spoke up at the meeting table.

This person was Lao Jiu of the Shen Family, named Kun Hu.

He was the most impatient, and finally couldn’t help but speak at this moment.

Beside him, a man with a square face, ranked Lao Si, named Kun Shan, said in a deep voice: "Lao Jiu, what’s the rush."

Kun Hu said: "How can I not be anxious, if things go wrong now, our plan will fall through."

"This matter definitely needs to be dealt with, let’s wait for Big Brother to come."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with long hair and silver earrings.

This man had deep eyes and was Lao Er of the Shen Family, named Kunyue.

Kun Hu looked at Kunyue, "Second Brother, since you’re in charge of intelligence, tell us what’s going on."

Kunyue sneered, "No matter what, since they disrupted our Shen Family’s plan, the other party must pay the price."

As soon as he finished speaking, a formidable middle-aged man walked in from the conference room door.

This middle-aged man had a strong build and wore a dark blue suit, possessing both the temperament of an intellectual and the wildness of a martial artist.

His arrival immediately commanded respect from everyone in the conference room.

All the younger members stood up and bowed slightly as a sign of respect.

The elders present also straightened up and looked toward the newcomer.

The person who had just entered was indeed the Family Head of the Shen Family, Kunpeng.

Everyone in the Shen Family was very respectful of him.

Because at this moment, he was the strongest among everyone present.

The others were at the pinnacle of the SS level, while he was already on the verge of SSS, just one step away!

Kunpeng walked directly to the head of the meeting table, sat down, and straightforwardly said: "The main reason for gathering everyone here today is threefold. The first matter is that I went back to see the old man. He is still in seclusion and should soon advance to the SSS level."

"The old man will be advancing to SSS level!"

"Haha, our Shen Family’s good days are here."

"Once Grandpa advances, our Shen Family can rank among the top two in the four major Hermit Families."

At this moment, everyone in the Shen Family was full of joy.

The old man’s advancement was of great significance to the entire Shen Family.

"That’s the first matter. Next, let’s discuss the second one."

Kun Hu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then continued, "The second matter, with Poker’s collapse, our plan to find the Peach Spring has failed. Everyone, please express your thoughts and opinions."

Lao Jiu Kun Hu looked at everyone and complained, "Let me hear what you have to say. Originally, Poker was supposed to replace the Golden Dragon Palace, so we could leverage some forces to find the Peach Spring. Now, after finally training a few SS level members, and forming Poker, who knew they would all end up dead."

Old Six, Shen Kunhai, looked at the Family Head, Shen Kunpeng, and said, "Big Brother, perhaps we should communicate with the government, ask them to help find the Peach Spring?"

Shen Kunpeng shook his head, "If this plan were feasible, I would have done it long ago. According to the agreement in the Hermit Realm, we must not interfere with secular government forces unless it threatens the survival of the family, as it would disrupt normal secular order. If we communicate with the government, and it becomes known to others that we’ve violated the agreement, we’ll invite trouble for ourselves."

Lao Er Shen Kunyue said, "Big Brother is right. The situation is tense now, and the other three major families are watching us closely. If they catch wind of any wrongdoing, they’ll surely unite against our Shen Family."

"That’s true, the internal strife in the Lin Family is also about to settle down. Once they catch their breath, they’ll definitely make a move against us."

"Before finding the Peach Spring, we can’t act too conspicuously. It’s not just us; even people abroad are searching for the Peach Spring. Whoever progresses the fastest will definitely become a target."

"But relying solely on our family members to find the Peach Spring isn’t going to be easy. After all, our family size isn’t that large. Hiring outsiders to do it compromises secrecy, which is a real headache."

"We once secured a map to the Peach Spring, hid it within a family token, and who knew it would be stolen by a bastard. Now the person has vanished without a trace, all leads have dried up, and we can only rely on the vast strength of those sects."

The Shen Family discussed for some time, with everyone voicing their opinions.

Finally, the Family Head, Kunpeng, tapped on the table to calm everyone down, then said to Lao Er Shen Kunyue, "Second Brother, since you’re in charge of intelligence gathering, tell everyone how Poker was wiped out."

Shen Kunyue nodded and explained, "We originally trained ten SS level members, nine at early SS level and one at mid SS level, forming Poker. With such power, they could stand against nearly any organization in the secular realm. Of course, that is, assuming the Hall Master of Golden Dragon Palace remains missing."

"However, the collapse of Poker was not due to Golden Dragon Palace or any major sects taking action, nor was it a joint effort by several organizations, but by one person."

What, one person!

Everyone was visibly shocked upon hearing this.

Though the ten SS level members of Poker weren’t as strong as them, they were a formidable force when combined.

Yet ten people were killed by a single person?

Is there really such a powerful individual in the secular world?

Though shocked, no one in the conference room spoke, quietly watching Shen Kunyue, waiting for him to continue.

Shen Kunyue held a remote and pointed to the screen behind Kunpeng, "Everyone look, it’s this person."
