They weren't exactly wrong though, should the Cui Family from the capital take their side and help them, alongside the little help of the Cao family, they would truly become the winners of the fight.
In fact, the Li family had never even dreamed about having the Cui Family join them on their side, they had always thought that the Cui Family would keep the Ye family's side.
After taking down the Ye family in a 3 versus 1 fight, the Cui Family was already thinking of making a deal with the Cao family and taking the Li Family down as well.
In fact, the greed and ambitions of the two big families didn't end there, as they were already thinking of what would follow after.
Even if the other families tried to boycott them and not buy their products in order to block their revenue and profit, they could just use everything for their selves.
No matter how they looked at the current situation, this was a win-win bet, in the short future the whole country would be theirs, and after they could start thinking about the rest of the world.
"You have done well Xie, just continue like this and things will work out perfectly in the end!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I know that Xie, but soon that won't matter as we will go underground and hide for a bit! There are some things that you don't know and are much scarier than whatever exists on this planet now!"
"Hahahahaha~! Zombies!? Those things are just corpses brought back by those that practice dark arts and techniques, they aren't that scary!
Cui Xie had thrown that as a joke, but it was only now that he understood that most probably he had hit the nail on the head, without even understanding how and why.
"During this period of time, I have already pretty much taken the first purchase right for all the medicinal herbs, and resources in the market. The government has been really helpful.
It's just that by doing so I have offended quite a few families that were already in control of the market. Most probably they think of nothing else but to kill me every day.
"You don't have to worry about them, just concentrate on gathering as many herbs and resources as you can!
Cui Xie had no idea what gift was his Master planning to give those guys, but certainly, it wasn't something they would like.
The only person accompanying him on this journey had been his little sister Cui La, and now he had someone to rely on and help him like Eric, who was theoretically and practically his brother-in-law and Master.
"Master, what about my little sister!? How is she!?"
"You don't have to worry, she is good and safe right now! In fact, she is much safer and sound than the two of us right now, but soon I will send her out for some practice.
I think that more than worrying about her, you should start worrying about yourself and your current Realm Xie.
Cui Xie was about to say that it would be his pleasure and happiness to have his little sister grow stronger than him, but hearing the last sentence threw him off.
"Master, I would like to take my leave and go cultivate!"
Cui Xie had no intention to know who his Master was going to visit, without Eric saying it by himself, he would never snoop into his matters.
On the other hand, Eric immediately used his newest stealth skill, Existence Shade, and disappeared right in front of Cui Xie, not physically but existentially.
As if that wasn't enough, the next moment, Eric's image started dissipating from in front of him until he was no longer visible.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other hand, after disappearing, Eric quickly got out of Cui Xie's room and started having a look around the place.
It took him around 10 minutes to finally find a trace of his target's room and another 10 minutes of following behind for him to finally enter the target's room.
"Why do you seem so troubled beauty?"
As she was rolling on her sheets, Eric's voice ringed in her ears, and she immediately jumped up while questioning in a scary voice.
The worst part was that she actually felt like she had heard this voice from somewhere, this wasn't her first time hearing it.
"Come on, don't tell me that you forgot so soon about me beauty!? It wasn't enough that you didn't try to defend me and my name in front of that bastard from your family?
"Young Master Chen!? Is that you!? How did you come in here!? What if my family founds out that you are here!?
Hearing all these words even Eric was at a loss for words for some time. It looked like this beauty was truly concerned for him. Google seaʀᴄh ɴo(v)elFɪre.net
"This is no longer the Li Family I love and respect, not to mention that… Anyway, you have to go, just find a safe place first, and then I will come and meet you, to tell you everything!
It was truly a touching moment, Eric didn't know why this beauty was actually so concerned about him, but the next moment his face went dark and gloomy!
Saying those words in a heavy and angry voice, he pretended to leave the place, as the next moment, someone knocked on Li Yao's door…
