Chapter 476: Chapter 475: The Choice

Upon seeing the people bursting in, a look of displeasure also appeared on the faces of the few family members seated.

No one cared at the moment whether it was genuine or feigned.

Family Head Luo’s face turned cold, "In my Luo Family, you will not be allowed to act recklessly."

And so he had the Luo Family members and the intruders battle.

The council hall was too confined for a battle, so both parties went outside to the open space, where they clashed fiercely.

After all, this was the Luo Family’s home turf, and the clan elders rushed over upon hearing the news.

Consequently, it didn’t take long for them to suppress the people brought by Yinghua.

Family Head Luo now found Yinghua particularly irritating to the eye, "Take her down and deal with her."

Yinghua remained composed, ignoring Family Head Luo and turning instead to Lou Family Master.

She said with a sardonic smile, "Family Master, what are you still waiting for?"

Lou Family Master sighed, "It seems we are the only ones to act."

He then addressed Family Head Luo, "Family Head Luo, the International Black Alliance has agreed that as long as we provide the necessary resources, they will help us break away from Huaxia and let us be in charge of this island ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Family Head Luo realized the Lou Family had already defected to the International Black Alliance.

He snorted coldly, "The resources of the Luo Family have been passed down from generation to generation, why should we contribute them?"

"Furthermore, the Luo Family has no desire to break away from Huaxia, and I advise you to abandon such thoughts as well."

He didn’t believe the authorities would allow them to secede.

Besides, the Luo Family had been a part of Huaxia for a thousand years; they had always been descendants of Huaxia and had never contemplated leaving.

The so-called autonomy held no significance, as the authorities rarely interfered with island affairs as long as they didn’t involve outsiders.

He had always been aware of Lou Family Master’s ambitions, but he didn’t expect them to be so grand.

Lou Family Master looked at Family Head Luo with a disdainful gaze, "Your courage is truly too meager."

At this moment, Ming Family Master spoke up with a smile, "Lou Family Master can’t say that; after all, the Minister of the Special Department is here. How would this commotion look to those above?"

Lou Family Master laughed indifferently, "Just make sure the message doesn’t get out."

He glanced at Lu Xun as if looking at a dead man, "It’s just a pity that Minister Lu made such a trip for his little girlfriend."

What did he have to fear from a Minister of the Special Department if he was going to break away from Huaxia?

Offending the Lu Family was now a moot point.

Lu Xun said expressionlessly, "Lou Family Master, with such a grand heart, I wonder if you can really make use of it."

Lou Family Master laughed heartily, "Minister Lu, rest assured, we do not engage in battles we are not assured of winning."

He lifted his hand and whistled a unique signal.

Quickly, a group of people broke through the Luo Family’s defense and stormed in.

Among these people were not only clan elders from the Lou and Wen Families but also experts from the International Black Alliance.

Together, they overpowered the Luo Family Elders, causing many injuries.

Then, another troop attacked from the outer city and seized the Luo Family’s stronghold.

Half an hour later, the Luo Family was defeated.

The plaza at the entrance of the council hall was surrounded.

Family Head Luo’s face was iron blue; he now understood that Yinghua had long been colluding with the International Black Alliance and the Lou Family.

That was why the people from the International Black Alliance could easily infiltrate the Luo Family and quickly seize control of their fortress.

With the tone of a victor, Yinghua said to Family Head Luo, "A wise man submits to the times. As long as you agree to cooperate, our people will withdraw."

Family Head Luo snorted, "And what if I am not wise to the times?"

Yinghua’s gaze was icy, "Then the entire Luo Family will be buried with you for your refusal to recognize the times."

They wanted the Luo Family’s resources; if they truly had to annihilate the Luo Family, so be it.

It would also serve as revenge for her years of suppressed resentment against them.

At these words, the expressions of those from the Luo Family present all changed.

Family Head Luo was silent for a moment, then looked at Lei Lifei, Sikong Family Patriarch, and Ming Family Master.

He asked, "What is your view, you three?"

Lou and Wen Families had openly betrayed; it was time to see if these three would also defect to the International Black Alliance.

The Luo Family was now caught in a dilemma; naturally, he wouldn’t let these three families take advantage without clarity.

Lei Lifei was the first to smile and indicate, "The Lei Family will not collude with the International Black Alliance. We are forever the children of Huaxia, loyal to Huaxia from generation to generation."

Those who betray never have a good end; the Lei Family certainly wished to continue for another thousand years.

Sikong Family Patriarch also said, "We, the Sikong Family, are always the children of Huaxia, loyal to Huaxia from generation to generation."

They would not foolhardily betray.

Ming Family Master’s face showed some conflict as if he considered for two minutes before raising his head, "Our Ming Family will follow in the steps of the Luo Family."

Meaning, if the Luo Family sided with the International Black Alliance, they would follow suit.

If the Luo Family remained loyal to Huaxia, so would they.

This was a completely fence-sitting answer, but most present were not surprised, as it was typical of the Ming Family to follow the Luo Family’s lead.

However, Luo Ning just smiled with amusement and didn’t interject.

She too was curious about what choice Family Head Luo would make.

Family Head Luo nodded to the three, then looked at the clan elders in the family, "What do you think?"

At this point, five clan elders had sustained injuries; they looked at each other and couldn’t make up their minds.

Finally, they split into two factions, with three clan elders in favor of cooperating with the International Black Alliance and two opposed.

Family Head Luo’s expression darkened, he suddenly turned to Luo Ning, "Although you don’t acknowledge the Luo Family, you are still of Luo blood. What would you do in my place?"

Everyone was surprised that Family Head Luo would actually ask Luo Ning.

Their gaze turned to her, expecting she would have only one answer.

It seemed that Family Head Luo had already made a decision in his heart.

As they predicted, Luo Ning said, "My choice is naturally to be loyal to Huaxia."

She glanced at Lou Family Master and the others, adding, "Since ancient times, treacherous dogs have never met a good end. You may be proud now, but I fear your laughter won’t last long."

Lou Family Master sneered, "Enjoy your witty retorts for a bit longer, someone will deal with you soon enough."

He again addressed Family Head Luo, "Family Head Luo, stop dragging your feet. Decide now whether to cooperate or face annihilation."

The Luo Family was the most powerful on the island; once they submitted, it would be easier to deal with the other families.

Family Head Luo took a deep breath, "Our Luo Family is loyal to Huaxia."

He then continued with sharp intensity, "You must not forget, this is our Luo Family’s territory, not a place for anyone to cause trouble."

Allying with the International Black Alliance was like seeking skin from a tiger; once the Luo Family was useless, they would still face a grim fate—why then betray at all?

Besides, he somewhat understood Luo Ning; she and Lu Xun could remain composed because they likely had a contingency plan.

As he finished speaking, he took out a jade and crushed it.

Suddenly, the entire island began to shake, and the shaking within the city was even more violent as if it was about to collapse.

Then, a large formation slowly rose, enveloping the entire Luo Family.
