Chapter 1052: Chapter 667: The Authority of the Great Grandmaster_2 Chapter 1052 -667: The Authority of the Great Grandmaster_2 As a Great Grandmaster who was utterly obsessed with martial arts, Lei Ting had an unparalleled pride and self-respect.
To forcibly overturn Lei Ting鈥檚 decision was to deny all his pride, and Chu Mo was certain that once he did so, Lei Ting would probably turn around and leave, never to appear before him again.
At this point, Chu Mo was faced with two choices.
One was to acknowledge the result of the competition, and from then on, he would no longer interfere in any matters concerning the Hua family in The Great Northwest.
If he truly did that, having let the Hua family of The Great Northwest go might incite a stronger sense of rebellion from the remaining two families.
The Wei family from the southeast and the Mo family from the Magic Capital would probably resist with all their might, greatly impacting his future task of regaining control over the remaining two families.
At this moment, Chu Mo gently closed his eyes, regretting why he had agreed to the martial contest with the Hua family.
...
He now found himself in a difficult position.
However, shortly after, when Chu Mo reopened his eyes, he had regained his confidence and calm demeanor, as if all the troubles from moments ago had vanished.
鈥淧resident Hua鈥︹€
Just as Chu Mo was about to concede defeat and never again interfere with the Northwest Hua family鈥檚 affairs, a hoarse laughter suddenly rang by his ear.
In that instant, the middle-aged man opposite Chu Mo, who had seemed sure of victory, suddenly took on a gravely serious expression.
Even the twenty or thirty personal bodyguards following Hua Zhenfei displayed expressions as if facing a great enemy.
Chu Mo turned his head and indeed saw an old man with graying hair and a stooped figure standing quietly by his side.
潡堭潣凁潣潟?co
Upon seeing the old man, Chu Mo also slightly narrowed his eyes, but after a moment, he gently stood up and proactively said,
鈥淕randmaster Liu, weren鈥檛 you always in secluded cultivation?
Why have you come out now?鈥
The old man who appeared before him was Liu Liu鈥檚 grandfather and also an incognito elder with the surname Liu, Liu Ping.
A while ago, Liu Ping had gone to the Xuan Yuan family with Chu Mo and persuaded them to return their family fortune.
Since then, this powerful old man had disappeared without a trace, and even his own granddaughter, Liu Liu, could not see him.
According to what the old man had said, he should still be in secluded cultivation and would not show up for a while.
However, now that he had appeared before him, Chu Mo had a vague guess in his heart; the old man shouldn鈥檛 have made his breakthrough so quickly.
鈥淢r.
Chu, I know Hua Zhenyu quite well.
Twenty years ago, among my four main protectors, his temper was the hardest, and twenty years later, he has also enlisted four protectors by his side鈥
He really reminds me of myself back then鈥
Twenty years鈥
In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.
By now, Hua Zhenyu must have reached the peak of middle-rank Great Grandmaster, and if he could get a 鈥楪rand Rejuvenation Pill鈥? perhaps his chance to break through to a high-ranking Great Grandmaster would be even greater!
Unfortunately, I only have one 鈥楪rand Rejuvenation Pill鈥? and I have already promised it to Mr.
Chu; otherwise, it could have been used to bring Zhenyu to heel!鈥
As the old man finished speaking, he suddenly directed his gaze at the middle-aged man across from him.
Then, with narrowed eyes, he said in an indifferent tone,
鈥淎re you Zhenyu鈥檚 younger brother, Hua Zhenfei?
Twenty years ago, you were still a greenhorn kid.
I would not have expected that you鈥檇 become a person of status now!鈥
Sporting a potbelly, Hua Zhenfei, who originally had the aura of a superior, began to sweat on his forehead the instant the old man appeared.
Twenty years ago, indeed, he was a good-for-nothing youth, and in front of a formidable presence like Liu Hua, he didn鈥檛 even have the qualification to be glanced at.
Now, twenty years later, the former hooligan had grown into the helmsman of the entire Hua family in The Great Northwest, controlling terrifying assets worth eighty billion, making him a true authority second only to Hua Zhenyu.
But even with the significant change in Hua Zhenfei鈥檚 status, even though he had connections that reached the heavens and was renowned across The Great Northwest, when faced with his former idol, Hua Zhenfei still felt a deep-seated fear from the bottom of his heart.
Although the Liu Ping standing before him looked just like an elderly man in his sixties or seventies with white hair, a hunched figure, and a face covered in wrinkles, even his once billion-dollar fortune was no more, the overwhelming aura he carried had not diminished in the slightest.
In fact, having now become a Great Grandmaster, Liu Ping seemed even more unfathomable than he had twenty years ago.
Despite the elderly man simply standing there casually, without releasing even the slightest breath of aura, the moment he appeared, the composed middle-aged man opposite him, as if seeing a terrifying figure, abruptly stood up.
Not only was he drenched in sweat, but he even dared not breathe heavily!
鈥淟iu Elder, I鈥檓 Zhenfei, I was wrong!
I鈥檒l roll back to The Great Northwest right now and never set foot in Modu again!鈥
With his hands hanging by his sides and bowing deeply, the middle-aged man鈥檚 voice was heavy with fear.
Just as his timid words ended, by his side, the man who had been spitting blood and had paid a tremendous price, yet was on the verge of victory, suddenly spoke:
鈥淗ua head, we rightfully won this match.
From now on, no one should lay hands on our Hua family from The Great Northwest again!鈥
鈥淪hut up!鈥
鈥淟oose tongue!鈥
Two voices sounded simultaneously, one belonging to the head of the Hua family from The Great Northwest, Hua Zhenfei, and the other naturally being the elderly Liu.
Accompanied by the elderly man鈥檚 indifferent words, and without any visible movement from him, a fierce gust of wind surged forth.
The already severely injured man could only helplessly open his eyes wide.
Not to mention resisting, he didn鈥檛 even have the strength to dodge.
Just as that terrifying gust of wind was about to strike the tall, thin young man, along with a furious shout, a robust middle-aged man suddenly stepped forward from beside Hua Zhenfei.
The man directly punched at the terrifying gust of wind and, with a hysterical roar, the muscular middle-aged man finally managed to protect the man behind him.
鈥淓lder Liu, the kid Hua Fugui, known as Hua Southern Tiger, has caused much offense, please forgive us!鈥
As the muscular middle-aged man鈥檚 words fell, Liu Ping in front of him suddenly expressed his thoughts:
鈥淚ndeed worthy of being the Four Tigers of the Hua family.
Compared to twenty years ago, even during my most victorious period, I didn鈥檛 hold a candle to the power the Hua family wields now.鈥
The middle-aged man known as Hua Southern Tiger was surrounded by bulging muscles, and faintly, a halo of True Qi could be seen around him.
The moment the man appeared, Chu Mo clearly saw that Lei Ting by his side suddenly tensed up, the whole person appearing ready to leap into action.
For the real martial arts Great Grandmaster Lei Ting to regard him so highly, there was no doubt that this middle-aged man proclaiming himself as Hua Southern Tiger must also be a true Great Grandmaster, and only a master of similar caliber could catch Lei Ting鈥檚 discerning eye.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
The Hua family鈥檚 influence spanned the entire Great Northwest, and their strong martial prowess protected the entire family.
Even the current Chu Mo found them headache-inducing, let alone the family head Hua Zhenyu, who was already a pinnacle mid-level Great Grandmaster, just a step away from becoming a high-level Great Grandmaster.
The four tigers cultivated by the Hua family were each more formidable than the last.
The previously mentioned tall, thin young man, known as Hua Descending Tiger, already possessed the strength of a pinnacle, near-Grandmaster level, and the present Hua Southern Tiger was an early-stage Great Grandmaster.
Among the four tigers, the most formidable was not this Hua Southern Tiger but the Northeast Tiger, whose strength, according to Chu Mo鈥檚 information, could be at the peak of early-stage Great Grandmaster, and might even reach mid-level Great Grandmaster.
Facing such a family filled with formidable members, not just Chu Mo but even the eight great families hesitated to offend them lightly.
Chu Mo鈥檚 heart had already harbored thoughts of retreat, at least until he had sufficient strength; he had resolved not to clash head-on with this Hua family from The Great Northwest.
However, the next moment gave Chu Mo no time to think, as the elderly man鈥檚 calm words resounded, and the temperature in the entire hall suddenly turned bitterly cold:
鈥淗ua family鈥檚 Four Tigers芒鈧€漬ow that we have two tigers here along with Hua Zhenfei, they should be enough to serve as hostages!鈥
