The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign

Chapter 633: Chapter 598: The Beauty Pie Falling from the Sky! (2)_6

Using this method to carry out his madness was undoubtedly crossing the line!

"Contact Hua Xiaotian!" Tapping on the table, Wang Anshi made a difficult decision through clenched teeth.

The moment he spoke, several of the elders’ eyes shot wide open, their faces etched with disbelief and astonishment. "Old Wang, what—what do you mean by this?" the elder closest to Wang Anshi exclaimed.

Contact Hua Xiaotian? Are they going to make a move against Qin Fan?

"Starting with the Qin Family, we have been indulgent with him! But he has provoked our bottom line time and again. First, he annihilated the Du Family, which was tolerable since they were merely merchants—we could turn a blind eye.

"But then came the Qiao Family. More than twenty people, old and young, were buried alive in the rubble, and we endured that too! After all, he didn’t act openly, so we could still choose to deceive ourselves. But now, he has publicly slaughtered the Bo Family and used this lawless method to terrorize all of Jinling. If we continue to do nothing, it will be indefensible!

"Yes, this is a difficult decision, even one that could result in mutual destruction, but we no longer have a choice! He becomes more audacious each time. Who can guarantee this will be the last? The situation has already escalated to us nurturing a tiger that will one day devour us!"

The corners of Wang Anshi’s eyes twitched madly as he articulated each word through gritted teeth.

If it were possible, he wouldn’t have wanted the situation to escalate to this point. If it were possible, he wished Qin Fan could have taken the perspective of preserving the greater stability and become the leader of the Guardian Institute. If only, if only... but alas, there are no ’if onlys.’

Qin Fan had rejected the Guardian Institute’s invitations time and again. In his unrestrained pursuit of vengeance, he had repeatedly and openly trampled upon the law! This outrageous arrogance undoubtedly brought the hidden threat into the open, forcing them to consider countermeasures. They could tolerate Qin Fan’s recklessness, but they could not accept such lawlessness. His brazen massacre of the Bo Family was beyond their expectations and became the final spark that forced their hand!

"Old Wang, think thrice! If we burn our bridges now, the consequences could be unimaginable! Even Master Hua has to give him a wide berth. One can only imagine the kind of predicament we’ll face if a monster like that goes berserk!" another elder urgently advised.

Was Wang Anshi making sense? Absolutely. Did they want to eliminate the threat that was Qin Fan? Of course. But they had to consider the consequences of doing so, and the potential disasters and ripple effects it could cause!

"It is precisely because I have thought it through that I must contact Hua Xiaotian," Wang Anshi declared. "I know removing this thorn in our side won’t happen overnight. But before that, we must ascertain the depths of Qin Fan’s power. Only then can we formulate a long-term plan! As it stands, Hua Xiaotian is the only one who truly knows Qin Fan’s strength! Summon him here!"

After speaking, Wang Anshi stood up. Clasping his hands behind his back, he took a deep breath and walked out of the office.

It was not only a sleepless night for the forbidden grounds of Beijing. For Jinling, hundreds of miles away, it was even more so.

The events in the courtyard, the horrific death of Bo Qiudong, and Qin Fan’s intimidating shout spread like a whirlwind from the courtyard’s center, sweeping across all of Jinling the moment Qin Fan departed.

Some rejoiced, others despaired.

Those who had been at odds with the Bo Family, or even oppressed by their power, nearly popped champagne to celebrate.

As for those allied with the Bo Family, they were in turmoil. They felt a profound unease, for as the proverb goes, when the hare dies, the fox grieves. With the fall of the Bo Family, what would become of those who were in the same boat? How would they deal with the enmities created in the past now that they no longer had the Bo Family’s protection?

Jinling was in chaos. Not just the political landscape, but the very hearts of its people!

Yet, amid this turmoil, everyone knew that after today, Qin Fan’s status in Jinling would be nothing short of supreme. And the Chang Family, with Chang Yuanyi as its representative, would certainly leverage this to become a power second only to one and above all others!

Amid the secret envy and resentment, Old Master Chang, who had already gone to bed, was jolted awake by Qin Fan’s intimidating roar. From that moment on, sleep was impossible, and his face was etched with worry.

Not long ago, he had told Chang Haisheng that his concerns were unfounded. Now, it seemed he had been slapped in the face.

He had originally thought Qin Fan would simply make the Bo Family vanish without a trace. He never expected him to end the feud in such a public and brutal manner!

Without a doubt, this had absolutely crossed the line!

"Grandfather, has he gone mad?" Chang Haisheng asked from the living room sofa, his voice trembling as he looked at the old man.

Hearing this, Old Master Chang didn’t immediately reply, but the corners of his eyes began to twitch.

Mad? He thought so too.

A moment later, he shook his head and spoke in a low, aged voice, "Whether it’s fortune or misfortune, it’s ultimately a matter of fate and luck! Although only Yuan Yi is directly connected to Qin Fan, by now, all of Jinling and even the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang region must think the Chang Family is tied to him. Whether he is truly insane or has his own plans, the Chang Family now has no path of retreat!"

"Then what should we do?" Chang Haisheng asked nervously, his throat constricting.

"Let nature take its course," Old Master Chang exhaled deeply, his brows knitted together.

"Let nature take its course?" Chang Haisheng clearly couldn’t believe the answer.
