Chapter 722: The Li Family’s Plan
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“That Zhao Yu, he’s definitely not an easy one to deal with!”
“Yeah, I heard from my old man that he blackmailed all the families by playing dead, the Five Families lost nearly ten million…”
“Damn it, my monthly allowance is only ten thousand, and this guy managed to get away with so much money in one shot…”
In a private room of a bar in the city center, about ten men and women sat together, still harping on about what happened yesterday.
“Brother Hao, this guy is too arrogant, acting like we don’t even matter. Should we deal with him secretly?!”
Someone, feeling indignant, turned to look at the man sitting in the middle.
The others, upon hearing this, quickly chimed in.
“Ya! This is Blackstone Town, not Zhao Yu’s turf…”
“Let’s deal with that son of a bitch…”
“But Zhao Yu is a King Slayer Rank Five. If he dies, we’ll be buried with him…”
“So we should just let him off this easily?!”
“At least make him suffer a bit, right?!”
The leading man pondered for a moment, then patted the woman sitting on his lap, “Lily, you take the ladies out first…”
“Brother Hao, what’s this about?!” someone reluctantly asked, not wanting the woman to leave.
Li Hao didn’t answer until all the women had left, “Do you know why I called you all here?!”
The other rich kids looked at each other, shaking their heads.
“Zhao Yu is indeed very arrogant, but who do we hate the most among the old civilians?”
“Isn’t that obvious? It’s Li Tian Ba, of course!”
“That Li Tian Ba killed my concubine, and she was just pregnant…”
Around the circle, almost everyone had a concubine or their lover killed by Li Tian Ba.
The reason was that these women had once been involved with Li Tian Ba, or rather, they were old civilians who had ascended from the lower camp.
After being guided, most of them chose to rely on the Five Families.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want freedom, but they didn’t believe they could pay off their debts if they chose freedom.
It was precisely because they knew Li Tian Ba well enough that they knew he definitely wouldn’t help.
Just as he once abandoned Hao Yu Wei and others, people without value, regardless of gender, would be discarded by him.
The result was that the Five Families they sought refuge with ultimately couldn’t protect them, and they were killed by Li Tian Ba.
The young masters who took over naturally caused a fuss, but in the end, it amounted to nothing.
After all, Li Tian Ba was a King Slayer Rank Three Fighter, already a designated person in Moon City. If he died here, the Wang family would be in trouble.
With the Wang family protecting him, the other families could only admit defeat, at most offering some compensation.
After all, most of the women who followed Li Tia Ba were only high level first-tier in terms of cultivation, with average qualifications. If they weren’t good-looking, they might not have even been able to marry these young masters.
“What do you think would happen if Li Tian Ba went up against Zhao Yu?” Li Hao asked everyone on spot.
The group paused, then began to discuss.
“If they face off, it would definitely be a fierce battle…”
“It would be quite a show, but can Zhao Yu handle it? Li Tian Ba arrived four months earlier than him…”
“Zhao Yu has just entered the second tier, while Li Tian Ba has been at the intermediate level of second tier for quite some time. If he hadn’t wanted to train his skills as much as possible before heading to Moon City, he probably would have left already…”
“Not necessarily. Look at the way Zhao Yu caused trouble yesterday. If he really faces Li Tian Ba, it’s hard to say who would win…”
“But how could they even end up facing each other? These old civilians rarely have conflicts with others, except for those who are about to die…”
Li Hao smiled slightly, unhurriedly took out two photos, and placed them on the table.
“These are the key to their conflict!”
The others immediately leaned over to look at the photos.
“Hiss, these two women are really beautiful…”
“They’re no worse than my dead concubine…”
“These two women, one is Hao Yu Wei, and the other is Yang Hui Yan. They were once Li Tian Ba’s women, and now they are Zhao Yu’s women…” Li Hao laughed and said.
“What?!”
The others were stunned, a bit confused.
“Hasn’t Li Tian Ba been out hunting for a long time?”
“When Zhao Yu ascended, wasn’t Li Tian Ba not in Blackstone Town?!”
“Wait, Brother Hao. Are you saying these ladies relied on Zhao Yu to escape the lower camp?!”
“What a small world?!”
Someone identified the key issue.
“That’s right!”
Li Hao nodded and said, “According to my investigation, Li Tian Ba and Zhao Yu are from the same realm both from the Zhen realm…”
“But even so, would the death of two women really make them fight?!”
“Yeah, we’ve lost so many concubines, and it hasn’t harmed Li Tian Ba at all…”
The young masters didn’t think that killing these two women would make Li Tian Ba and Zhao Yu fight.
After all, they had been displeased with Li Tian Ba, but only cursed him privately, never confronting him directly.
The main reason was that they couldn’t beat him. On one hand, Li Tian Ba being a fighter was talented and none of them could faced him. On the another hand, he is King Slayer Rank 3 fighter, holding a get-out-of-jail-free card from the Moon City. In future, Li Tian Ba had a chance to advance to the third tier in the future, while they would most likely remain in the second tier.
If they offended him now, and he shamelessly came back to bully them with his higher status in the future, they would be doomed.
Many rules were binding on the new citizens, but for old citizens who were about to die in ten years, they were meaningless to them..
