Hearing the "Lancer Family" from Wang Songshan's mouth, Butler Mu couldn't help but take a deep breath! This was because the Lancer Family and the Douglas Family were not on the same level at all!
If the Butterfly Family still had an absolute advantage in the battle with the Douglas Family, then they were at an absolute disadvantage against the Lancer Family!
Although the Butterfly Family was an assassin family, no one would believe that the Lancer Family did not have any life-saving trump cards! It was true that the Butterfly Family had a group of fierce assassins, but wasn't the Lancer Family the same?
The Lancer Family was a super arms dealer. Not to mention anything else, just weapons and equipment alone were inferior to the Lancer Family. If they really fought openly, the Butterfly Family might not have any advantage.
However, even so, the Butterfly Family was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied. So thinking of this, Butler Mu said, "In this matter, the Lancer Family is obviously unreasonable. Our family is not afraid of trouble. I believe that as long as they dare to make a move, we will fight back. At that time, someone in the upper class will definitely come forward to mediate, but in the end, the Lancer Family will still be criticized!"
"Butler Mu, you misunderstood …" Wang Songshan waved his hand and sighed, "If the Lancer Family really fought openly with us, then we would fight to the death with them even at the risk of damaging our vitality! However, they didn't make an open enemy of us. Instead, they played a dirty trick. "
"Dirty trick? What's going on? " Butler Mu was slightly stunned after hearing Wang Songshan's words, but immediately seemed to understand something. He frowned, "Are they going to make a fuss about the supply of firearms?"
"Last night, the Lancer Family's family master, Thomas, called me …" Wang Songshan nodded helplessly, "Thomas claimed that the upstream supplier's firearms quota had been reduced and could no longer supply our Butterfly Family with firearms …"
"Sure enough!" Butler Mu's eyes turned cold after hearing it, "What a good knife to kill without spilling blood. In this way, no one can say anything. His reason is dignified, and we can only suffer in silence!"
"Yeah, who would believe such a lame reason?" Wang Songshan said, "However, even if you don't believe it, so what if you know that the Lancer Family is the excuse?"
At this moment, Wang Songshan still didn't know that the fact that Thomas, the upstream supplier, had his supply quota reduced was about to come true. At that time, it wouldn't just be a simple reduction, it would be completely gone!
If Thomas knew that his casual words had turned into a fact, he would probably cry but have no tears, right?
"After losing the Lancer Family's firearms supply, our Butterfly Family … I'm afraid that we will lose more than just one or two of our strengths …" Butler Mu was very clear about the chain consequences of this incident, "At that time, our ranking on the assassin list …"
"You're right …" Wang Songshan nodded. "Without the support of the Lancer Family, the decline of our Butterfly Family is only a matter of time …"
"Did the Lancer Family make any requests for doing this?" Butler Mu suddenly thought of something and asked suddenly. In his opinion, doing this was to teach the Butterfly Family a lesson. However, the Lancer Family should have some purpose for doing this since they wouldn't do it without benefits.
"Indeed … the Lancer Family made some of his requests." Wang Songshan nodded. "But their requests were too much, so I didn't agree."
"What requests?" Butler Mu asked.
"Goode's request is to let Yanyan marry him …" Wang Songshan said, "According to Thomas, the Butterfly Family and the Lancer Family will become in-laws. Even if the special firearms quota is small, the Butterfly Family's share will not be missed."
"Sure enough, there is a purpose!" Butler Mu snorted coldly. "So, have we come up with any countermeasures?"
"If we had thought of a countermeasure, we wouldn't be so worried." Wang Songshan sighed. "Now, we have almost thought of all the ways we can think of, but there is still no way to solve the problem …"
"Indeed, we have cooperated with the Lancer Family for so many years. It's not that we haven't tried to find other firearms suppliers, but in the end, it all ended in failure." Butler Mu nodded in agreement. "Although we have long known that it is not a good thing for the Lancer Family to control the lifeline of the family's survival, there are some things that we can't control."
"Yes, it's not that we haven't tried, but the result …" Wang Songshan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't make sense to say this now … Let's just take one step at a time …"
"Dad, why don't you marry me to Goode?" Wang Xiaoyan felt a little strange. "This is not your character, right? Aren't you capable of doing anything for the benefit of your family? Why now … "
Wang Songshan suddenly blushed when he heard Wang Xiaoyan's words. He coughed twice embarrassedly. "Ahem, Yanyan, how can you say that? Didn't I promise you that I could break off the engagement this time? How can I still force you to marry Goode? "
"But before, you …" Wang Xiaoyan was very surprised. Her father's decision this time seemed to be very calm. No matter what the Lancer Family did, no matter how aggressive they were, he did not compromise and had no intention of marrying her to Goode!
But according to her father's previous thoughts, as long as it was beneficial to the family's interests, he would do it anyway. If it were not so, the relationship between Wang Xiaoyan and Wang Songshan would not have become so tense and even incompatible! This led to Wang Xiaoyan running away from home for so many years. But now, Wang Songshan seemed to have changed into a different person.
"Previously … your marriage agreement was set by your grandfather. Firstly, it was because your fiancé was indeed very outstanding. Secondly, it was because this was the rule set by your grandfather for our Butterfly Family … Thirdly, it was also because Ruoshui couldn't be together with the King of Assassins back then, which made me feel a knot in my heart. Therefore, I wanted to facilitate the marriage between you and this generation's King of Assassins. Wang Songshan looked at Wang Xiaoyan lovingly and said what he had been thinking for many years. "I set a goal for you to build an assassin organization that is more powerful than the Butterfly Family. You can decide your marriage by yourself … In fact, this is just a way for me to get out of the embarrassing situation! You know very well whether you have achieved this goal or not. Although you have not achieved it, I still agreed to break off the engagement. Have you thought about the reason in between? "
Wang Xiaoyan couldn't help but be a little moved after listening to Wang Songshan's words. Yes, my goal has not been achieved. Although my assassin group is thriving now, it is very difficult to surpass the Butterfly Family. After all, my foundation and heritage are still shallow. Even if I integrate into the Charles Family, it doesn't mean that I can surpass the Butterfly Family.
However, her father had suddenly changed his mind and agreed to break off the engagement. Could it be that she had wronged her father in the past? Perhaps, my father has his own difficulties in the position of the family master!
Indeed, it was very difficult for his father, as the current head of the family, to overturn the decision of the previous head of the family. Even if he wanted to do it, he would need a reason. Then, the agreement with him would be the step to overturn this decision …
In fact, what Wang Xiaoyan didn't know was that if her current boyfriend was not Yang Ming, it would not be so easy for Wang Songshan to overturn her grandfather's decision even if he wanted to! In this kind of big family, the words of the previous family master were like an imperial edict!
Just like in the imperial families of the past, the rules of the ancestors could not be changed! Changing the rules left behind by the ancestors was not something that the current generation of people could casually decide!
In the past, many emperors seemed to have great power, and their words were like gold and jade. However, when it came to matters of principle, even the most powerful emperor would be extinguished by the words of the ministers of the ancestors.
