"Exactly. Someone from the hidden Han family has come to prop them up!" Lei Daming nodded. "The man who came is called Han Xiaohu!"
"What? Han Xiaohu of the hidden Han family is that outsider's backer?" Zhao Guangyin was slightly taken aback. The hidden Han family—did they not stay out of business? Could it be that after the Hidden World Families Summit, the hidden Han family too had bared its fangs and was preparing to go into business and rake in money?
"Exactly. What happened today was this..." Lei Daming held nothing back, and recounted in full detail how he had run into that outsider at the Arctic Ocean Seafood Restaurant and then had Zhao Guangsi put him in his place—telling the whole thing to Zhao Guangyin.
"Hm, you did nothing wrong." Zhao Guangyin nodded after hearing him out. Lei Daming was indeed arrogant and domineering, but when all was said and done, he had acted in the interests of the hidden Zhao family's business, so Zhao Guangyin could not fail to stand up for him!
And even without this affair, the hidden Zhao family had been finding it hard to swallow their grievance. After the Hidden World Families Summit, the hidden Han family was no longer as cautious and low-profile as before; in Donghai City they too had begun operating frequently, making their voice heard, faintly signaling an intent to contend with the hidden Zhao family.
At the Hidden World Families Summit, the hidden Han family, relying on their connection with Wei Zhao, had already left the hidden Zhao family thoroughly stifled. And after Wei Zhao departed, the hidden Han family was still capering about, even to the point of backing an outside merchant—Zhao Guangyin could not tolerate this going on any longer!
If he yielded this time, he was certain the hidden Han family would take a foot when given an inch, growing more severe each time. So he must strangle their ambition in the cradle, the moment they first bared their fangs!
"Boss, so what should we do now..." Lei Daming asked cautiously.
"It's just one Han Xiaohu, isn't it?" Zhao Guangyin gave a cold laugh. "He really thinks he's somebody now. Rest easy—I'll have Qibing and Old Man Bi go together, in person, to teach this insolent fool a lesson! He really believes the hidden Han family can stand against the hidden Zhao family? A mantis trying to stop a chariot—overestimating himself!"
"Wonderful!" Lei Daming was overjoyed. He had not expected Zhao Guangyin to send Zhao Qibing, heir to the hidden Zhao family, and Old Man Bi, a core figure of the hidden Zhao family, into action. There was no question now of eating Han Xiaohu alive.
"Just wait. They'll be there soon enough!" Zhao Guangyin could not command Old Man Bi, but he could command Zhao Qibing—and if Zhao Qibing went, Old Man Bi, his master, could hardly stay away. Han Xiaohu, after all, was a skilled hand of the early Earth Rank!
If Han Xiaohu made a move, Zhao Qibing would certainly come off the worse; but with Old Man Bi there, the situation was different. Old Man Bi would never sit by and do nothing—and Han Xiaohu would not dare to act.
"Yes. Thank you, boss!" Lei Daming said quickly.
In Wei Zhao's private room, Han Xiaohu shut the door with a trace of displeasure, then walked over to Wei Zhao's side with a smile: "Boss, what's going on?"
"This is Uncle Chu, an elder of mine. He wanted to do business in Donghai City, but that chamber chairman named Lei Daming blocked him at every turn, and just now there was a confrontation down in the parking lot..." Wei Zhao then recounted the whole affair, cause and consequence. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to cast
