Chapter 1025 - 1025 985 Persuasion

1025: Chapter 985 Persuasion 1025: Chapter 985 Persuasion Ming Zongsheng entered the City Lord’s Mansion and, led by the caretaker, quickly made his way towards the City Lord’s study.

Halfway there, a figure approached, blocking their path.

“Hey, isn’t this the young master of the Ming family, Ming Zongsheng?”

The one who came over was a young man dressed in luxurious clothes who quickened his pace upon seeing Ming Zongsheng.

“Are you…

Huang Kai?”

Ming Zongsheng smiled and stepped forward, patting Huang Kai’s shoulder.

“Master Ming, what brings you to leisurely visit us today?

What brings you here?”

The man named Huang Kai asked with a smile.

“I need a little favor from your father, just to talk things over with him.

I’ll be out shortly.”

“What’s there to talk about?

Why would your father need to take action?

Isn’t the Ming family big and powerful?

Is there any family or power in this city that you can’t handle?

You’re not planning to deal with the Su family, are you?”

Ming Zongsheng smiled and shook his head, “How could that be possible?

How could our Ming family get into a fight with the Su family?

That would be foolish.”

“No matter what, it’s impossible for our Ming family to directly confront the Su family.

At most, we engage in some competition in business, and that’s all.”

“Now I’m curious, who could make you seek help from us?” Huang Kai stroked his chin, looking at Ming Zongsheng with curiosity.

Ming Zongsheng felt a bit awkward and thought for a moment, “Alright, I can tell you, it’s the Yu family.”

“The Yu family?

The ones from City South?

They used to run a mining business and were quite sizable within the city, but now they seem to have fallen on hard times.

How could a declining family pose a threat to you?”

Ming Zongsheng shook his head helplessly, “If it were just the Yu family, they naturally wouldn’t be able to threaten the Ming family.”

“But you don’t know; they’ve got a helper by the name of Lu Chuan, a man of formidable strength.

Plus, the Yu family originally had a strong foundation.”

“So, with the two of them joining forces, it’s become difficult for us to deal with them.

If the City Lord is willing to help us eradicate the Yu family, it would help stabilize the situation in the city.”

“Moreover, if you could kill that fellow named Lu Chuan, I’m sure your honored father would be very curious about the good things he possesses.”

Hearing this, Huang Kai furrowed his brows.

“Lu Chuan…

are you certain that’s his name?”

“Yes, I’m sure of it.

His name is Lu Chuan, and he’s not an ordinary man.

He’s at the Martial Saint Realm, not to be underestimated.

Though Martial Saint Realm experts are not extremely rare in Cloud Sea City, they are still less than a dozen in number.

His arrival is certainly a great help to the family.”

Ming Zongsheng’s words sent Huang Kai into deep thought.

“I understand.

Go see my father.

He’s in the study dealing with family affairs.

You should head over.”

“Alright, we’ll chat some other time.”

“Sure, we’ll have a chance to talk later.”

Huang Kai then turned and left quickly, departing the scene.

Walking along the corridor, he headed swiftly to a certain mansion.

Soon, he arrived at the gate of a grand house.

Pushing open the gate, he entered.

Inside was a hall, with living quarters to the side.

In the hall, Xsu You was sitting, eating food.

Upon seeing Huang Kai come in, Xsu You immediately stood up.

“Huang Kai, why have you come over?”

“Brother Xsu You, remember the person you mentioned to me yesterday, named Lu Chuan?”

Huang Kai quickly approached him.

Xsu You patted his shoulder, signaling him to sit in a nearby chair.

“Yes, that person is called Lu Chuan.

Is there a problem?”

“You don’t mean he’s that incredibly powerful person who also possesses Divine Fire, do you?”

“That’s him.

What are you trying to say?

Didn’t I make it clear?

That Lu Chuan is a friend of my sister’s and has helped our sect solve a major problem, and he even saved my life.”

“Uh…

I just ran into Ming Zongsheng, the young master of the Ming family.”

Xsu You frowned deeply, “You didn’t happen to hear this name from him, did you?”

Huang Kai nodded fervently, “That’s right, I heard about Lu Chuan from him.

He came here looking to discuss how to deal with Lu Chuan with my father.”

“He wants to join forces with my father against Lu Chuan!”

Xsu You tensed upon hearing this, his forehead wrinkling as he suddenly stood up.

“How could…

this should not happen; we cannot oppose Lu Chuan, let alone the fact that he saved both me and my family.”

“Besides, with his strength being so great, becoming his enemy would do us no good!”

“No, we must stop this!”

He spoke with firm conviction.

Xsu You then set aside his bowl and chopsticks and strode towards the door.

“I’ll go with you.

We must stop them no matter what!”

Xsu You and Huang Kai hurriedly made their way to the City Lord’s study.

Meanwhile, Ming Zongsheng had already entered the study and met with the City Lord.

Ming Zongsheng approached City Lord Huang Tiankang with great restraint.

Seated behind a rosewood desk was a figure with a robust build.

City Lord Huang Tiankang sat there, perusing the documents in his hands.

Then, seeing Ming Zongsheng enter, he put down the papers.

“Ming Zongsheng, what do you want with me?”

He stood up to look at Ming Zongsheng.

The caretaker who was standing by the side subsequently retreated, leaving only the two of them in the room.

“Lord Huang, I’m here on behalf of the Ming family to discuss a matter with you.”

He walked briskly over, pulled up a chair, and sat opposite Huang Tiankang.

“Lord Huang, it’s like this, I’d like to request your strength to deal with the Yu family and their helper.”

“The Yu family?

Why should I deal with them?”

Ming Zongsheng hastily spoke, “Our Ming family will provide a large sum of funds as assistance, which can be used to expand military expenses.”

“It’s mainly about getting a little help from you.

Otherwise, if we try to eliminate the Yu family’s power, we risk too much damage.

If we exhaust too much vitality at once, we could be vulnerable to other families taking advantage.”

“Or rather, tell me why I should deal with them.”

“Alright, besides the reward we’re offering, there’s one more critical point.

The Yu family has just annihilated the Zhao family within the city!”

“They’ve destroyed the Zhao family, taken over their assets, and are still growing their power.”

“So, the Yu family will continue to be greedy, continuously stirring up chaos in the city, eliminating various powers to make their family flourish.”

“Such a family that creates turmoil should be rooted out!”

Huang Tiankang stroked his goatee and then slightly nodded, “You do make some sense.

To ensure a stable environment in the city, indeed, we need to clear out the Yu family.

Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be great chaos.”
