Chapter 728 - The Legendary Families' Declaration
The auction ended in such a way that no one expected.
The guests were left dumbfounded by the sudden change of the events. The venue changed while their heads were still in the clouds.
Who would have thought that the legendary families' relationship was way stronger than their own interests?
The guests who came for the intense bidding war of the century were disappointed inside. Outwardly, they let out greetings of congratulations to the legendary families' tables.
....
The venue changed and the second day of the three-day event of the IAmFashionista began.
Today, the organization hosted a grandiose party for its members and guests. The enormous hall had live musicians invited from all over the world and famous international singers who were singing songs for the dance floor. On the side of the hall were private rooms where the members and guests could make business deals or private talks, and take rest. There were also lounges that had casino displays for them to play.
The heads of the legendary families were gathered together in one of the private rooms.
Their topic was obvious. It was the further details regarding the shared plaque.
"Don't feel complacent, young head, this is only for a while. We will let you borrow it in the meantime. Now, we should further discuss how we will be rotating the honorary plaque," Old Lu first spoke.
Old Xiong harrumphed. "The rotation between our families is easy to solve. If we want it to be fair, we can just use random selection and provide conditions equally to all of us in order to protect the plaque. Now, what we should focus on is what is in front of us."
Old Lu raised his brow. "Now you are telling us something obvious. Of course, we also need to talk on how to handle that bastard who set us up. He is trying to split us by using the honorary plaque! The plaque is precious to all of us, but so is our alliance."
Mistress Tang chuckled at the side.
"It is funny to hear that from you. You almost became blind and willing to fight us to death just to get this plaque. If Old Xiong's granddaughter did not warn us and opened a path for us to keep this plaque while keeping the alliance intact, I doubt that we will still be gathering here peacefully without a grudge in our hearts."
Old Xiong's face was filled with pride after hearing Mistress Tang give credits to his precious granddaughter.
"My granddaughter is wise. We should not let her be disappointed. If we fail again and get swayed by that bastard, then I will not be able to face her anymore."
Mistress Tang and Old Lu were silent.
Because they were momentarily blinded by their greed and their own interests for their family, they almost fell into Ming Zhi Yi's trap. What an embarrassment. They failed as a head and an elder.
Mistress Tang's eyes then turned solemn. She clapped her hands. "Alright, let's focus. What we should focus on now is Ming Zhi Yi. If he found the honorary plaque that had been lost since ancient times, and at the same time managed to keep it hidden away from us, then what things did he still keep hidden?"
Old Lu and Old Xiong nodded their heads. Their expressions were solemn.
Old Xiong: "Ming Zhi Yi is not someone whom we can easily push around. We first have to know the depth of his strength and weaknesses, then cut him off completely."
Old Lu: "I suspect that Ming Zhi Yi is leading the other families who are against us. The Guan family is now weakened. The other families will take advantage of this opportunity to rise in power and replace the Guan family's position."
"And once the Guan family falls, then it will be us afterwards," Mistress Tang added. A smile slowly crept to her lips. "Come to think of it, your granddaughter's suggestion of allowing the Guan family to be entrusted with the plaque first and receive our protection has the best timing. It is a perfect countermeasure against Ming Zhi Yi's trap at this time."
Old Lu nodded his head and warned. "Your granddaughter must have really pissed off that man now. Make sure to keep an eye on her. Her act earlier was dangerous. Perhaps, I should reward her a bit for her courage."
Old Xiong's nose grew longer again. He was both ecstatic and proud.
"Isn't it a given? My granddaughter has a better brain than yours. Who do you think she took after?"
Old Lu and Mistress Tang: ...We are praising your granddaughter, not you.
"I owe a lot of debt to Young Miss Xiong Zhi. I promise under my family name that we will return the kindness that she showed to us ten times later. It is the same to all of you," he promised.
Old Xiong once again felt elated.
His nose had extended way up to the sky.
Mistress Tang looked at Old Xiong's proud look. Her mouth twitched. She finally decided to change the topic.
"Anyway, what should we do with Ming Zhi Yi and the other families backing him up? Now that he has IAmFashionista and the hundred billion we gave to him in his hands, he will have many ways to deal with our attacks."
"You are asking the wrong question, Old Tang. I think what you should ask is, how are we going to bring him down? Since you mentioned that he is using the other families and this organization's power, then we should start with those," Old Xiong declared.
Old Lu considered Old Xiong's words.
"You are right. We must first cut off the people who are helping Ming Zhi Yi. I am keeping an eye on those families who are helping him. I will take care of some of them. How dare they side with that bastard and try to face off against us." Old Lu's eyes darkened.
Mistress Tang smiled coldly as well.
"I don't really like Ming Zhi Yi. He has been threatening us many times until now. Now that he told us clearly that he is coming for us in blood, then we should come at him too. More boldly than he did."
Mistress Tang's plan was set in mind. She had been preparing for it ever since she suspected Ming Zhi Yi's goals.
Old Xiong nodded his head gravely.
His granddaughter must have been watching Ming Zhi Yi for a time now, just based on how she knew the man well. There must be a reason why her granddaughter was keeping an eye on this man.
This man, Ming Zhi Yi, was dangerous. He was a real threat to their families.
They should take care of him well.
"It is about time to declare war against him and his confidantes."
All heads nodded.
