My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 907 - 908: He is also my pawn!

Chapter 907: Chapter 908: He is also my pawn!

Capital City, still that beautiful place.

Only, the maple leaves on the mountain had turned red.

The middle-aged man in the pavilion had already put on autumn wear.

"Getting older, really does make me somewhat wary of the autumn chill,"

he said, smiling as he drank a cup of tea.

The tea was strong and aromatic.

"Your Majesty, have you heard about what happened in Xiongcheng City?"

The woman kneeling beside him, serving tea, asked as she brewed the tea.

"Hmm."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The Xiao Family from Jiangnan has given me quite a surprise, but now that they’ve been purging those families, their goal aligns with mine.

So, I’m not planning on making a move against them for now."

"Your Majesty, do you think the person behind them is the Zhou Family?"

The woman asked again.

"The Zhou Family?"

The middle-aged man scoffed, "What merit or ability does the Zhou Family have to support such a powerful Xiao Family? They haven’t even sorted out their own issues.

Among the top ten Aristocratic Clans, only the Di Family, the Jun Family, and the Ye Family are decent, the rest are just filling the numbers.

No need to pay them any mind."

"But why does everyone say it was the Zhou Family’s doing?"

"Because the chess player wants the Zhou Family dead,"

the middle-aged man chuckled after taking a sip of tea: "In truth, the Zhou Family is the real Controller of Xiongcheng City. Without the Zhou Family’s fall, Xiongcheng City won’t end up in anyone else’s hands.

Just watch, the drama has only just begun.

The one from the Xiao Family wants to play chess with me, but sadly he doesn’t know that he too is just one of my pawns."

"Does Your Majesty know who he is?"

The woman asked.

"I don’t know. This person is too mysterious, seeming like everyone and yet like no one,"

the middle-aged man sighed and said, "Those sent to investigate his identity are all dead, just as you planned to assassinate me without inquiring into my abilities, no? The dose of the drug in the tea is slight, and the brewing not quite right, you thought to mask it with the fragrance, and it might truly be undetectable to most people.

But before me, don’t play such petty tricks; they’re useless."

The woman’s face suddenly changed.

A dagger slid out from her sleeve and she thrust it fiercely at the middle-aged man.

"Not bad in strength, barely counts as a first level Martial Artist,"

the middle-aged man smiled.

First level Martial Artist, Above Grandmaster, existence above ten segments of Vigor.

Referred to as a first level Martial Artist by real Martial Artists.

Of course, ordinary people don’t get to interact at this level.

And there’s no need to.

This kind of ranking is nothing but casual chatter among Martial Artists and doesn’t follow any strict rules.

It’s just for convenience in conversation.

When it really comes to fighting, the outcome will be the decider.

As the middle-aged man spoke, he effortlessly extended his hand.

With two fingers, he easily clamped the woman’s dagger, and with a snap,

the dagger shattered.

"You attempted to assassinate me, and for that, I don’t blame you. From now on, follow me. You can try to kill me every day; I’ll give you ten chances. If you can’t kill me, then you can die,"

the middle-aged man said with a smile.

But the woman turned deathly pale, trembling all over.

...

Xiongcheng City, Xinmeng Group has arrived.

Xiao Chen had already cleared the critical conditions for Jiang Meng to enter Xiongcheng City.

The Chongzhi District and Chongwen District were now entirely under the supervision of the Li Family.

Xinmeng Group can operate without obstruction.

Whether they can develop or not now depends on their own product quality and management skills.

Upon arriving in Xiongcheng City, Jiang Meng immediately lavished praise on Xiao Yulan and Li Zui, embarrassing them both quite a bit.

How could such a thing have been so easily achieved without Xiao Chen’s intervention?

The truly formidable one is not them, but your husband.

Jiang Meng didn’t have time to get intimate with Xiao Chen before she was off again, this time to the Fang Family.

Fang Enze was eagerly awaiting her presence. Regardless of what he did, he was her mentor who had once aided her greatly. This grace, she must repay.

Coincidentally, Xiao Chen was also preparing something else at the moment.

That was for the Li Family to hold an exchange meeting, inviting the grand families and noble clans from the Chongwu District to attend.

Although solving problems with force was simple, given the virtue of valuing all life as precious, Xiao Chen was reluctant to spill too much blood.

Thus, a peaceful resolution was preferable.

During the previous event, the Zhang Family and the Sun Family didn’t accept the Li Family’s invitation, and as a result, their assets evaporated overnight, and their family head was executed.

Therefore, after Li Zui sent out the invitations this time, a great majority of the family clans and corporate groups from the Chongwu District agreed to come.

Li Zui stated plainly that it was just a simple exchange and would not involve anything else.

If they were afraid, family heads need not attend, sending the younger generation to gain experience would also be appropriate.

This provided many family clans a way to save face; they were afraid to rashly send their heads, fearing they might die at the Li Family, which would leave them with no way to play the game.

But sending representatives from the younger generation could also help them understand what the Li Family wanted to do, and even if something unexpected happened, it wouldn’t be too tragic.

As the organizer of the exchange meeting, Li Zui was incredibly busy.

He was well aware of the purpose of this meeting.

Xiao Chen wished to take control of the Chongwu District using a more gentle approach.

And not like he did with the Chongzhi and Chongwen Districts.

That was a bit too ostentatious.

Boom! Boom!

A customized sports car worth tens of millions roared as it approached the parking lot, immediately catching the attention of many onlookers.

"Isn’t that Sun Shuai from the Sun Family?"

"Exactly, the Sun Family may have fallen in the Chongwen District, but they still own a vast amount of property in the Chongwu District, which was the second Sun Family built by Sun Quan’s brother, Sun Miao.

Previously suppressed by Sun Quan, it now stands as the only Sun Family in Xiongcheng City.

This Sun Shuai is Sun Miao’s son."

"His name might sound a bit unsophisticated, but he truly is handsome."

Today’s exchange meeting had invited numerous internet celebrities, stars, and beauties.

Seeing Sun Shuai, they all showed infatuated expressions.

The Sun Family was almost an aristocratic clan. These attendees might be wealthy and hold stature, some even being daughters of first-tier and second-tier family clans.

But they couldn’t compare to an almost aristocratic clan.

Making such a leap in class was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Just then, another sports car drove into the parking area.

A young man hopped out of the car—he was Liu Xun, the young master of the Liu Family from the Chongwu District.

Both the Liu and Sun surnames were prominent in Dragon Country, with many family clans bearing these surnames throughout the region.

However, the Sun and Liu Families of Xiongcheng were probably among the top-tier existences in the entire Liu clan of Dragon Country.

"Sun Shuai, you’ve got the mood for fun? Haven’t you heard that the Xiao Family plundered your fortunes in the Chongwen District?" Liu Xun teased, wearing sunglasses.

"That’s the Sun Family of the Chongwen District, we of the Chongwu District Sun Family have nothing to do with them," Sun Shuai replied. "Besides, even if we were related, what of it? I came today to see this Li Zui. He’s got quite the nerve to collaborate with outsiders against our Xiongcheng families."

"Did you bring some skilled fighters too?" Liu Xun inquired.

"Could I manage without? Xiongcheng City has become unsafe lately. The Xu Family and Fang Family are on the verge of war, the Xiao Family from Jiangnan can’t sit still, and the various family clans are fiercely competing for market share.

Without a bodyguard, I hardly dare step outside," Sun Shuai sighed. "Carrying a bodyguard around is like having a constant third wheel, making everything inconvenient."
