Chapter 832: Chapter 832 The Meeting of the Eight Great Families

The old master’s face was ashen, his hand clutching the cane trembling with anger.

Although he had always known that his son, as the head of the Ning Family, was not exceptionally capable, and people from other families often said that the head of the Li Family simply couldn’t handle affairs,

that was still his son!

He could scold and beat him, but it was not the place of others to discipline!

Not to mention barging in, killing the man in front of so many of the Li family members!

This was an immense disgrace for the Li Family!

After a long silence, the old Patriarch’s expression gradually calmed down, but his tone became incredibly cold.

"Pass down my orders, summon The Greatest Eight, and initiate the meeting of the prominent families of Capital City!"

The top families of Capital City included the Li Family and the Su Family among the eight great families.

These Greatest Eight were the most elite families in Capital City, and even the entire Xia Country!

Whenever there was a major issue, The Greatest Eight would convene to discuss and formulate corresponding strategies.

The other families were somewhat puzzled when they received the message.

The last time The Greatest Eight met was over a decade ago, and it was because of the Ning Family.

After such a long period of quiet, why suddenly convene a meeting?

Although puzzled, The Greatest Eight still showed respect, responding to the old Patriarch’s call.

Su Han also received the invitation and was wondering what the matter could be.

Su Qingcheng, however, immediately realized that it was probably because Ning Fan had killed the head of the Li Family.

"Uncle, can you not attend this meeting?" Su Qingcheng begged desperately, "This matter is definitely because the head of the Li Family wants to take revenge on Ning Fan."

Su Han furrowed his brow, not rejecting outright but instead inquired with confusion, "Qingcheng, you must first tell me what exactly this matter is about, so I can know what to do next."

Su Qingcheng hesitated but eventually told Su Han about Ning Fan killing the head of the Li Family.

Su Han was taken aback upon hearing this.

Ning Fan actually slaughtered the head of the Li Family?

What a joke!

That was the Patriarch of a Prominent Family!

With so many patrons protecting him, he was still killed by Ning Fan?

For a moment, Su Han felt a sense of crisis rising in his heart.

If one day Ning Fan decided to kill him, wouldn’t he also be able to just barge into his home and slaughter him?

After pondering for a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Don’t attend The Greatest Eight families’ meeting," Su Qingcheng said with anticipation.

However, Su Han rejected the request outright.

"That’s impossible, participation in The Greatest Eight families’ meeting is mandatory for the prominent families of Capital City. Anyone who doesn’t attend will become a target for all the other families!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingcheng thought for a moment and proposed another condition, "Or, when you attend the meeting, reject their proposal."

"They definitely want to use this opportunity to join forces and attack Ning Fan. As long as our Su Family does not get involved, it’ll be fine!"

Su Han’s eyes flickered, his expression changing unpredictably before he finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

Hearing this, Su Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, uncle."

"It’s nothing, you are the future pillar of our family, of course, I will listen to you."

After Su Qingcheng left, Su Han’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

"Ning Fan... This fellow is ultimately an obstacle to our Su Family, this man must not be left alive!"

...

As the Li Family’s summons went out, the heads of The Greatest Eight families arrived at the old Patriarch’s villa.

"How many years has it been since The Greatest Eight families’ meeting was called? What made the old Li patriarch suddenly think of it?"

"Right, could there be something important?"

"I don’t know, I was still busy with family business, but as soon as the meeting was called by the old Patriarch, I rushed over."

The family heads of The Greatest Eight sat on the sofas, buzzing with speculation.

The Su Family, the Ning Family, the Bao Family, the Yao Family... aside from the Li Family, all of The Greatest Eight were present.

Each head brought with them their family’s three strongest patrons, each of their strengths at the Great Grandmaster Peak.

There were even several within the Transcendent Realm.

After all, most of the relationships between the major families were competitive.

It had happened in the past that one family had feigned a discussion of matters and set a trap like the Feast at Hong Gate, nearly assassinating other family heads.

Since then, whenever the heads of the great families met, they would bring their own protectors.

After a short wait, the old Li Patriarch finally arrived fashionably late.

He came in with a gloomy face, took his seat, and nodded slightly to everyone.

"Gentlemen, I am very grateful to you all for giving this old man face and attending this meeting," he said.

The Patriarch of the Bao Family asked with puzzlement, "Old Li, The Greatest Eight families’ meeting has not been convened for a long time now. May I ask what prompted this sudden gathering?"

The old Patriarch immediately recalled the grisly state of his son’s death, a surge of rage flaming up within him.

But he soon suppressed the anger and said through gritted teeth, "Today’s meeting of The Greatest Eight is because my son, the current head of the Li Family, was killed by a youngster named Ning Fan!"

As soon as these words were uttered, with the exception of the Su Family, the patriarchs of the other families were all shocked.
