Chapter 1061 -672: The New Nobility
“Master!”
The wealthiest hidden family in Magic City, owned by Lu Yuanming, the Family Head of the Lu family with assets of 888 billion, was standing respectfully before an elderly man with white hair.
Different from the calm and steady demeanor he had when he first met him a month ago, Lu Yuanming now had not a trace of arrogance in his entire body. Even though he was a mid-level Great Grandmaster himself, in front of the elder, he was as respectfully careful as he had been twenty years ago!
Only after the white-haired elder gently nodded did Lu Yuanming straighten his body again. He took two steps forward to the side of a young girl in her twenties, bowing again as he said,
“Miss, hello!”
Liu Liu, who attended a second-tier university in Magic City and was a second-tier live broadcaster, was not quite used to the extravagance before her. However, it was evident that she was trying very hard to adapt to her current life. Thus, although being called ‘Miss’ made Liu Liu feel awkward, she did not object and earnestly nodded to the middle-aged man before her.
...
Just a month ago, when Liu Liu first met the Family Head of the Lu family at the Magic City Financial Building, he had no intention of returning the nearly trillion assets of the Lu family but planned to marry her into the Lu family as the bride for the eldest son of the Lu family.
Yet just one month later, the powerful middle-aged man before her chose to compromise, which made Liu Liu feel a sense of sighs.
However, compared to Liu Liu’s lament, Lu Yuanming felt more helpless inside.
Lu Yuanming originally did not plan to hand over the trillions he had worked hard for over twenty years to build. So, a month ago, when he met with Chu Mo, he chose to refuse. However, only a month later, the Northwest Xuan family was the first to surrender, followed quickly by the Southwest Hua family, which boasted one dragon and four tigers. Under such circumstances, together with the involvement of the senior Great Grandmaster before him and Mr. Chu’s full-scale suppression of the Lu family in Magic City, Lu Yuanming had no choice left.
He did not even have the chance to break the net. Either he could have the Lu family annihilated by his former master together with various forces, completely fragmenting his family, or he could choose to surrender and completely return the 888 billion assets to the other party.
When Liu Ping personally led four grandmasters of the Hua family to Lu Yuanming’s study, even though he was a mid-level Great Grandmaster himself, he no longer had any way out or opportunity.

To resist meant the annihilation of the entire Lu family, but to compromise gave the Lu family a slim chance of survival.
Under these circumstances, even with much reluctance, Lu Yuanming could only choose to surrender.
As for the Southeast Wei family, which owned a vast family enterprise, they had even less opportunity to choose. With a direct lineage of 50-60 people including the second-generation heir and third-generation descendants, the Wei family should have been the least likely to compromise. Thus, Chu Mo decided to deal with the Wei family last. However, after three of the four great families chose to surrender, the Wei family became the easiest to submit.
The reason was simple: the Wei family had too many descendants. When Liu Ping arrived personally with several Great Grandmasters at the Wei family’s place, they had no room to resist. To avoid being completely wiped out, the head of the Wei family, Wei Zhengpin, promptly chose to surrender.
By then, Liu Ping, who had chosen to retreat from the world and had not been involved in world affairs for twenty years, finally reclaimed the trillion fortune he had abandoned twenty years ago. His only granddaughter, Liu Liu, who had been parentless and bullied from childhood, also transformed overnight into a genuine Princess Snow White.
Now, Liu Liu owned all the assets of the four great families, totaling 3.5 trillion, which even surpassed any spokesperson by Chu Mo’s side. More importantly, not only did Liu Liu possess 3.5 trillion in assets, but she was also supported by a total of eight Great Grandmasters.
Among these, all four family heads of the great families were mid-level Great Grandmasters, and among the ‘four tigers’ of the Hua family, three were junior Great Grandmasters. Additionally, Liu Liu’s biggest support was her grandfather, Liu Ping, an old man who was a top senior Great Grandmaster, with unfathomably deep strength.
The most important purpose of today’s gathering at the Longevity Club was to clarify Liu Liu’s status. This university sophomore girl, who had just reached her twenties this year, is from today onward officially the real helmswoman of the four great families. If she were to marshal her strength and the forces at her command, even the Hong Kong Long family, ranked first among the eight great families, would not match up to the girl before them, and even Chu Mo himself would feel tremendous pressure in facing Liu Liu.
Although Chu Mo had many spokespeople behind him and controlled the World’s Number One Club, holding an unlimited credit card, he did not have a clear advantage when facing Liu Liu.
Liu Liu held control over four great families that had developed over decades, each possessing nearly a trillion in assets and their own spheres of influence. Chu Mo, controlling only Magic City, did not have as wide a reach as the four great families.
Most importantly, Chu Mo only had two Great Grandmasters by his side, while Liu Liu was supported by a full eight Great Grandmasters, a truly overwhelming force.
