Zhu Yunzhou sat in the secret room cultivating. He should not have any idea what was going on around him at this time, but his left eyelid kept twitching for some reason today. With his current strength, he could easily control almost any part of his body, but something like this had happened. This made him feel uneasy, and he couldn't calm his heart.
"Strange, why do I feel like something is going to happen today?" Thinking up to this point, Zhu Yunzhou slowly stood up and walked out of the door. Just as he walked out, he saw his daughter, Zhu Ningyu, running towards him in panic. Once she saw him, she anxiously said, "Father, bad news. Someone from above is here. He's in the living room now."
"Someone from above?" Zhu Yunzhou frowned and said, "Who is it? Is it from the Astral Alliance? "
"I heard it's the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Astral Alliance Dimensional Warfare Division. He's waiting for you." Zhu Ningyu's face was full of worry. One would not go to a temple without a cause. This Deputy Chief of Staff suddenly came today with people from the Hong Family. It was obvious that it was not a good thing.
"I'll go now." Zhu Yunzhou took a deep breath, then brought his daughter, Zhu Ningyu, and hurried towards the conference room.
Soon, he arrived at the conference room. Once he entered, he felt a gust of cold air on his face. Soon, he saw Dick sitting in the middle of the conference room. He hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "I'm Zhu Yunzhou. Sir, you are …"
"Pengyun Astral Alliance Dimensional Warfare Command Division Deputy Chief of Staff, Dick." Dick did not stand up. He just sat on his seat and looked at Zhu Yunzhou. He insipidly said, "I heard you and Hong Xingyu made a Marriage Annulment Challenge. Is that correct?"
He was actually here for the Marriage Annulment Challenge!
Zhu Yunzhou's heart skipped a beat. His instincts told him that this was not a good thing. However, it was impossible for him to deny it. He instantly nodded and said, "Yes. Sir Dick, may I know why you're here …"
"The Marriage Annulment Challenge has ended." Dick unilaterally tore up the agreement. His tone did not leave any room for negotiation. "Your Zhu Family should first think about how to compensate the Hong Family for their financial losses. I'll put this aside first. Hong Dali has already been brought to the Astral Alliance headquarters by Lieutenant General Lei Zhe for further training. The Hong Family will be the family of the Astral Alliance's military officers from now on. I don't care what grudges you have in the past. This time, your Zhu Family has to admit it. If you don't, I can flatten your entire Zhu Family within three days. You can choose for yourself. I will only give you thirty seconds to decide. If you don't make a choice after the time is up, the Zhu family can just disappear. " Speaking up to this point, he added, "I'm not joking. Our Lieutenant General Lei Zhe is determined to get Hong Dali. He will agree to all his conditions."
Plop — After listening to Dick's words, Zhu Yunzhou slumped onto the chair.
This time, he was really defeated, and the worst thing was that he didn't even have a chance to turn things around. Hong Dali entered the headquarters of the Astral Alliance to further his studies. In the future, the Hong Family would truly be unshakable. Not only the Zhu Family, but even the Bei Family would not be able to do well.
"Hehe, Old Zhu." At this moment, Hong Xingyu, who was sitting at the side, finally spoke. "Actually, I think you should thank Sir Dick. Otherwise, on the day of the duel, your Zhu Clan will have nothing. "
"Hehe, what's the point of saying that now?" Zhu Yunzhou helplessly shook his head. "If the duel really happened, at least I would still have a chance. Now, I'm afraid there's no chance for me to turn things around. Hong Dali, Hong Dali, hehe, I underestimated him previously. This is my mistake. Sigh, a single mistake brings everlasting sorrow. "
He didn't pay much attention to Hong Dali previously. But when Hong Dali really revealed his abilities, Zhu Yunzhou realized that everything was too late.
Obviously, Hong Xingyu wasn't that easy to deal with. "Turn things around? Heh heh, Old Zhu, do you really think that you'll be able to beat me with that little bit of skill of yours? "
As he spoke, he stood up and casually activated his energy. Instantly, the entire conference room was filled with air currents. On Hong Xingyu's hand, a blood-colored current circulated. His old and frail arm even gradually regained its youthfulness!
"Rejuvenation! This is rejuvenation! "Feeling the terrifying energy flow in the room, Zhu Yunzhou's expression instantly changed. He had never expected Hong Xingyu to be able to rejuvenate himself to such an extent! This phenomenon could only mean one thing. Hong Xingyu's strength had broken through the peak of Star Sector-level and completely entered Astral-level!
This was because rejuvenation was a sign of Astral-level. Breaking through the limits of life could greatly increase one's lifespan!
"That's right." Hong Xingyu looked at Zhu Yunzhou. At this moment, he no longer thought that Zhu Yunzhou was his match. "I have to thank my Hong Dali. Hehe, he gave me a good book, a real top-notch secret manual from the Cultivation dimension!"
"Primordial Blood Emperor Log"! When Hong Dali found this book in Azeroth, he immediately copied the contents and sent it to Hong Xingyu. After a few days of cultivation, he really broke through the bottleneck and officially entered Astral-level!
"Sigh, looks like I've lost. I've lost completely." Zhu Yunzhou weakly leaned against the chair. At this moment, he had no chance of turning things around. Hong Dali went to the headquarters of the Astral Alliance to further his studies, while Hong Xingyu broke through to Astral-level and rejuvenated himself. What else could he do?
"Tell me, how do you want me to compensate you?" Zhu Yunzhou looked at Hong Xingyu. "Name your conditions. I will agree unconditionally."
"The conditions are very simple." Hong Xingyu slowly said with his hands behind his back, "90% of the Zhu Family's wealth will be transferred to my Hong Dali's name. The remaining 10% will be given to you for your retirement. I can guarantee that I won't touch anyone from the Zhu Family. "
"Okay, I promise you." After all, he was the head of the Zhu Family. Zhu Yunzhou was someone who could do great things. He instantly nodded. "Thank you for your mercy. I will sort out the assets now and give you an answer in three days."
"Good, straightforward enough." Hong Xingyu's eyes lit up. "I have decided to let the Ye Family inherit your position. Is that okay?"
"No problem." What else could he say now? Zhu Yunzhou directly agreed. "You can make the arrangements next. This manor will be my personal gift to him. Hehe, losing everything in one go, it's fate. Sigh. Once everything is settled, I will leave this place and find a place with no one around to spend the rest of my life. Thank you, Old Hong, for your mercy. "
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Hong Xingyu.
This time, he was sincere, without the slightest bit of falsehood.
Hong Xingyu had indeed spared his life, as well as the entire Zhu Family. Otherwise, with Hong Xingyu's current strength, the Zhu Family would definitely disappear from this world if he directly requested for a duel. But he still gave Zhu Yunzhou a way out and did not kill him.
This was not because Hong Xingyu was soft-hearted, but mainly because he wanted to accumulate some good karma for Hong Dali. Towards his little sweetheart, Hong Xingyu would definitely treat him well if he could treat him well, not 99%.
Since the matter with the Zhu Family was settled, the next was naturally the Bei Family. Alas, before Hong Xingyu could move, the head of the Bei Family, Bei Mingxuan, rushed over. Once he entered, he hurriedly said, "Bei Family's head, Bei Mingxuan, greets Sir Staff Officer!"
"Humph, you came quickly." Dick humphed coldly and said, "You colluded with the Zhu Family to plot against the Hong Family. You should give us an explanation for this, right?"
Lei Zhe had left him here to settle the loose ends. Naturally, he had to do a good job. Once he saw Bei Mingxuan, he did not have a good attitude towards Bei Mingxuan.
"Compensation! I'll compensate! " Bei Mingxuan's face was pale. He no longer had his previous high spirits. He hurriedly said to Hong Xingyu, "Half of the Bei Family's assets will be given to Old Master Hong. I hope that Old Master Hong will be magnanimous and let us off."
He immediately offered half of the assets. That was ruthless enough.
"Humph, compared to Old Zhu, you, Old Bei, are more annoying." Hong Xingyu humphed coldly and said, "However, my sweetheart is kind and doesn't want to kill anyone easily. I'll let you off. Remember this. If you dare to have any bad intentions again, I'll wipe out the Bei Family! "
"Understood, understood!" Bei Mingxuan heaved a sigh of relief. He was willing to pay the price to avoid a disaster. Now that Hong Dali was brought to the headquarters of the Astral Alliance to further his studies, he would be able to rise to the top like a phoenix. No matter how powerful he was, he was just a Sector Lord. Hong Dali would be an inspector when he came back. It would be too easy to deal with him. He might as well admit defeat now. At least, he could ensure the safety of his family.
"Alright, since everyone has agreed, it's settled." Sir Dick slowly stood up and glanced at Zhu Yunzhou and Bei Mingxuan. He said disdainfully, "It's really hard for you to be the head of a family. You actually made such a mistake in judging people. You're quite capable."
As he spoke, he walked out. Hong Xingyu hurriedly followed, leaving behind the ashen-faced Zhu Yunzhou and Bei Mingxuan, sighing.
This time, the Bei Family and the Zhu Family were completely finished. The Zhu Family was uprooted and could no longer stay on Shenglong Star. The Bei Family was also greatly weakened. They probably wouldn't have a chance to do anything in the future.
As for the Hong Family, they single-handedly helped the Ye Family to become one of the top three families. In the future, when the Hong Family and the Ye Family worked together, the entire Shenglong Astral would definitely be able to do whatever they wanted!
On the Internet, the news of the Zhu Family being kicked out of Shenglong Star spread like wildfire in just half an hour. Everyone was discussing it —
"Did you hear? The Zhu Family is done for this time. The Hong Family's Hong Dali really soared this time. He was directly brought to the headquarters of the Astral Alliance to further his studies. After that, he'll be an inspector at the very least. That's amazing. "
"I heard. If I didn't know about such big news, I would have lived in vain. This time, the Zhu Family left Shenglong Star and was replaced by the Ye Family. The Bei Family was also greatly weakened. In the future, they can only live under the Hong Family's control. "
"Hong Dali is amazing. He destroyed everything with a snap of his fingers. The alliance between the Bei Family and the Zhu Family was so powerful. Yet, in just two months, they were completely finished. I was still waiting to watch the duel."
"Duel my a * s. Who dares to provoke the Hong Family now? Isn't that courting death? Old Master Hong has already returned to his youth. Grandmother Hua Yueling is probably going to return soon too. Sigh, there's really no comparison … "
