Chapter 629: Chapter 629 Dinner_1 Chapter 629: Chapter 629 Dinner_1 It’s clear that Grantham has prepared quite thoroughly.

Even though Yuan Shan evidently did not inform him in advance about the additional two guests, he still managed to coordinate the dinner quickly.

And after the guests were seated, he obediently waved his hand, motioning everyone to leave.

“Thank you for the hospitality,”

As the leader, Chief Yuan also demonstrated great composure, smilingly spearing a piece of roasted meat into his mouth.

To this, Fu Qian actually felt quite regretful.

Before coming, he had been curious as to whether, given that Grantham was from the Bloodline Clan, there would be anything like blood tofu on the table.

Unfortunately, after looking around, he found absolutely no such exotic foods.

However, Grantham’s chef was undoubtedly very skilled.

The roasted meat that Yuan Shan ate, in particular, could be called golden and crispy, brimming with aroma.

So much so that Fu Qian swallowed several pieces in succession, utterly intoxicated and with no intention of speaking.

Now was the time for the leader to shine; as an advisor, having provided his three strategies, he just needed to sit and bolster the atmosphere.

“I heard that Demigod Aymbow from the Gulad Family has come to Shangjing?”

And truly living up to expectations, Yuan Shan was already smiling as he stuffed the fragrant roasted meat into his mouth and asked.

“…Indeed, he arrived some time ago,”

Grantham responded with an appropriately surprised expression upon hearing this.

“Does Chief Yuan wish to find him? Aymbow seldom leaves his residence, but I can send someone to check if he’s there,”

“There’s no need for now,”

Yuan Shan’s smile did not wane.

“I will visit him directly.”

…

After hearing Yuan Shan’s words, Grantham couldn’t help but glance at Fu Qian and Su Gao beside him.

Unfortunately, of the two, Fu Qian was wholly engrossed in enjoying his dinner.

And Su Gao beside him seemed somewhat disinterested overall, presumably due to the lack of desserts on the table.

But even so, she still maintained her demeanor, not reacting to Grantham’s inquiring gaze.

And clearly, their behavior was giving Grantham quite a bit of psychological pressure.

“May I ask what business Chief Yuan has with him?”

In the end, Grantham hesitated for a moment before he couldn’t stop himself from asking.

“Nothing much, it’s just Shangjing has been somewhat restless lately, and I was hoping the Demigod could lend us a hand,”

“Is that so… I haven’t heard about it,”

Grantham’s expression finally stiffened.

“Does Chief Yuan mean the anomaly in the sky that one time?”

“Not just once,”

Yuan Shan did not deny it.

“But don’t worry, any evil will be brought to justice,”

“And we never implicate innocent people.”

Yuan Shan’s gaze at Grantham was somewhat mocking.

“Of course, if possible, I hope that the Gulad Family can do what they can,”

…

With these words, the air seemed to solidify.

Grantham’s usually graceful face had lost its elegance, his smile as false as if it were glued on.

And Yuan Shan stared at him, with no intention of speaking.

“Certainly… as members of Shangjing, we will contribute our part,”

After nearly ten seconds, Grantham finally readjusted his posture, recovering his smile.

“I will too,”

The moment Fu Qian finished speaking, after swallowing a slice of smoked fish in his mouth, he casually concurred.

However, these light three words, when heard by Grantham, seemed rather startling.

After several seconds of silence, he instinctively looked towards Su Gao.

Unfortunately, the latter still sat there without any response, showing no changes from before.

This immutability, when mirrored against Fu Qian’s words, formed an indescribable sense of oppression.

So you see, there’s no need for any bluster—Su Zhiyan’s performance was spot on.

Fu Qian silently gave his approval from the sidelines.

…

Undoubtedly, Grantham was under great pressure.

As a leading chief, a bookstore owner, a vacationing assassin, and one of the three powerhouses at the banquet, their distinct demeanors successfully created a suffocating sense of oppression.

So much so that even the usually slick Grantham, when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse.

“Please believe that every member of the Gulad Family holds the same view.”

“We will never allow any situation that disrupts the peace of Shangjing to occur.”

The tone of the speaker was meticulous.

“That’s good…”

Yuan Shan’s expression did not show any change.

“You all prefer to be active at night, right? Then, I’ll visit Aymbow tomorrow night.”

…

As the party ended, the guests dispersed in high spirits.

When leaving the dinner, Fu Qian was very sure that Grantham had grasped the essence.

However, Yuan Shan’s complexion didn’t look too good.

“These people are really stubborn.”

They rode in silence until they had traveled a fair distance, and then Yuan Shan slowed down the car and let out a long sigh.

“Even Grantham seems determined to conceal things in favor of family interests, betting that I am just bluffing.”

“Really? Why couldn’t it be that our brother, under the awe of your coercion, deeply recognizes his mistakes, planning to quietly settle matters to alleviate your concerns?”

“Grantham’s statement just now was no different from the last time.”

Yuan Shan shook her head again.

“I’ve made it very clear that Aymbow is going to die tomorrow.”

“In such a situation, there’s no need for him to deal with things quietly. It would have been more reasonable to admit the issue and state that it would be properly resolved.”

“Or he might think this is all a misunderstanding, and it’d be better to explain the unusual behavior during this period.”

“He’s not a three-year-old child, he must be very clear in his mind that based on his previous attitudes, what would my understanding be if he repeated those words now, but he still said them.”

“Clearly, he seems prepared to be stubborn to the end.”

“The middle strategy really isn’t so effective, is it!”

“Who says?”

Curled up in the passenger seat, Fu Qian at this moment was a picture of contentment.

“It’s true he didn’t admit to any wrongdoing, but who said the middle strategy wasn’t effective?”

“What do you mean?”

Yuan Shan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

“Not admitting to errors doesn’t mean he will resist to the end. I’ve said that we should regard the Gulad Family as a whole.”

“This Grantham brother seems to be quite a clever man.”

“Unless he has his own agenda, the probability of taking the fall for something he has not done is not high.”

“Inside the Gulad Family, it doesn’t seem to be monolithically unified for now.”

“So, the death timeline you set is bound to reach the ears of the original instigator.”

“And this entity must react to it, evaluating the credibility and risk index.”

“Apply extreme pressure, until the structure breaks down, but we need to give them some time.”

“Time for those with differing opinions to gain more say.”

“Under these circumstances, even if the group becomes aggressive due to the pressure, there will be people willing to hold them back.”

Fu Qian gazed out the car window at the full moon.

In the hazy night sky, it appeared somewhat crimson.

“Tonight might be quite lively.”
