Chapter 193 - Xin Zhen the Cruel (2/2)

Soon, the people from the four major families began to move forward.

“Great Father Xin, this junior, on behalf of his family, pays you his respect and offers you these bureaucratic presents. On behalf of the Pu family, I wish you a happy life and good health!”

“Good, the Pu Family is always so sincere!”

“Great Father Xin, my father is out of town and has put me in his place this time! I hope this doesn’t seem strange!”

“Old Ho seems to not want to come out today, heh!”

“Great Father Xin…”

“Master Xin…”

These people were very well rehea.r.s.ed, stepping forward one after another. In fact, these people were the elderlies in Chengyang City. The Xin family hosted such an event each year and had become familiar with them.

After the four major families took the lead, the other families began to approach. These families either had a close relations.h.i.+p with the Xin family, or they were families directly affiliated with the family itself.

An F-tier apt.i.tude user stepped forward, gift in his hand as he presented it to Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen was taking a sip of his tea at that time and the other party did not know where to put the gift.

“When your family becomes as big as mine, it’ll become harder to lead. I heard that there’s a talented individual that has appeared in the Zhao family, almost E-tier, currently hunting in the wild?”

“Yes. You’re worrying over nothing, you remember that unfilial brat!”

“Hmph. Talented children always have their own idea or two. If they’re disrespectful, then just beat them until they learn some humility. It’s dangerous out there, best be careful.”

“Of course, of course!”

The Zhao family head’s forehead was suddenly layered with a sheen of sweat. The Zhao family had been developing well recently, even having an E-tier ability user, and plans to escape from the Xin family’s grip.

After all, a huge portion of their annual profits were always taken away by the Xin family. Now that they were strong, they naturally did not want to be suppressed.

However, resistance comes at a price.

Thinking about the son that had not contacted him for three days, the Zhao family head felt as if a cold knife was stabbing through his heart.

The Xin family head waved his hand to have his servants take the Zhao family’s gift away.

After that, the man was punched in the head by Xin Zheng. Some onlookers bore smiles, some bore anger, but most just had their fear on display.

The process of giving the gifts took half an hour, and some of the major families were given a table while everyone else had to stand.

Only Qin Feng and Bai Li stood behind the crowd, still eating and drinking near the dining table.

Qin Feng let out a frosty laugh as he watched the group of Xin family members in front of him. ‘What a great feast! The Xin family really is trying to show their authority!’ he thought.

The Xin family hosted something like this every year, it was weird that after so many years there had not been a single disruption. Maybe they held things with an iron fist, whoever tried to resist were brutally suppressed.

Whoever showed potential would be crushed like that person from the Zhao family.

Qin Feng felt that the other party was too short-sighted. ‘The wilderness is so vast, the resources aplenty, and they’re still cramped in this tiny place cruelly throwing their power around. What a bunch of shrews.’

Such was the norm in this kind of life.

Too many people stayed in the colonies and did not dare venture into the wild.

As Qin Feng was thinking to himself, he heard a voice in the distance.

“I heard that outside of Chengyang City, a new colony has emerged and their district chief came over today.” said the voice. There was not a single bit of respect for such a colony, only traces of contempt.

In the eyes of the Xin family, the leader of such a colony was too weak. If they came alone, it meant that they could be eliminated.
