Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Lin Mo and Liao Zhiping sat levelly in wooden chairs, while below them sat Liao’s three sons and some juniors.

”Who is that young man sitting on an equal level with Mr. Liao?”

”I don’t know; do you recognize his face?”

”None of you know? That is the Divine Doctor invited by the Liao Family; he cured Mr. Liao’s disease.”

The crowd around them buzzed with many discussing Lin Mo, who sat next to Liao Zhiping.

”He’s a Divine Doctor, looks younger than twenty, shouldn’t he still be studying? How does he know medical skills?”

”I heard that the Liao Family consulted many famous doctors to no avail, never thought a kid could be so capable.”

”Indeed, waters are deep, and faces can be deceptive!”

Suddenly, someone lowered their voice and said, ”Maybe you only know part of it and not all?”

”Liu Gui, do you have more news?”

”Heh heh, do you know that Mr. Liao has a granddaughter, beautiful as a flower and clever as a fox? Last time I saw the young Divine Doctor shopping with Eldest Lady Liao, and they seemed very close.”

”Stop talking nonsense; Eldest Lady Liao is betrothed to Dan Wen, how could she be with the Divine Doctor?”

”I saw it with my own eyes, the young Divine Doctor, Miss Liao, and Dan Wen were all having dinner together, and Dan Wen’s face turned green.”

”Oh man, today will definitely be interesting to watch.”

”Fengming Pavilion” is located in the village, where ore excavated from pits is displayed everywhere, these ores seem like ordinary rocks on the surface, but may contain superior quality Jade inside.

One side of the Liao Family dominated the east, and in the west were people like Hei Xiong.

In the north were people from the Shan Family while in the south sat the chairman of the Tengchong Business Association and others who had come to witness the great Gambling Stone convention.

”Mr. Xiong.”

”Mr. Shan.”

”Chairman Fang.”

Hei Xiong and an elderly man from the Shan Family nodded to each other, then glanced at the old man with the walking stick from the business association. One was Shan Xiongjie, the helmsman of the Shan Family, and the other was Fang Chengfu, chairman of the Tengchong Business Association.

”Father, what is going on?” Liao Changjing, feeling perplexed, looked at Liao Zhiping.

Liao Zhiping’s face was as calm as an old well, as if he had anticipated this scene, ”It seems like Hei Xiong, the Shan Family, and the business association have joined forces, clearly convinced that I, Liao Zhiping, am too old and should step down from the Tengchong stage.”

”The relationship between the business association and Hei Xiong has always been good, but the Shan Family and our family...” Liao Changjing glanced sideways at Liao Ke.

”The marriage between the Shan Family and our Liao Family was also for mutual benefit; everything in the world is motivated by benefit,” Liao Zhiping sighed deeply.

The Liao Family had indeed been on the decline in recent years, compounded by his old age and the lack of outstanding successors, solidifying the belief in others that the Liao Family was doomed.

”Grandfather, I’m sorry,” Liao Ke said guiltily, his eyes reddening.

If she hadn’t been so stubborn and married Dan Wen earlier, the Shan Family would have definitely helped the Liao Family.

”This is not your fault,” Liao Zhiping shook his head, ”But even if we win today, if Hei Xiong, the Shan Family, and the business association join hands, it would still be difficult to secure the mining rights.”

”Mr. Lin, please have some tea,” Li Yunfei said, unconcerned with the rest; as long as Lin Mo was here, she believed the Liao Family would not face any trouble.

Lin Mo gently sipped the tea, not even lifting his eyelids, yet he felt two resentful glares directed at him.

Those two venomous gazes belonged solely to Shan Xiongjie and Black Panther.

Shan Xiongjie glanced disdainfully at Lin Mo and then at Liao Ke, sneering, ”I think today we’ll see whether it is Lin Mo who can help your Liao Family, or if my Shan Family can. After today, Liao Ke, you might just be crying and kneeling, begging me for help.”

”Brother, it was that guy who injured me. Once this is over, you must help me get revenge,” Black Panther said, staring towards Lin Mo, lowering his head to speak to Hei Xiong who was seated on a wooden chair.

”It’s that guy, huh? Hard to tell,” Hei Xiong squinted his eyes slightly, a sharp glint shining through, his face bore a trace of coldness as he held two white jade balls, continuously rubbing them.

...

”If it wasn’t for Lin Mo offending Shan Xiongjie, how could the Shan Family suddenly turn against us,” Liao Yun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

These past few days, everyone in Tengchong circles had heard about the matter between Lin Mo and Liao Ke, saying Shan Xiongjie had been cuckolded.

”Big brother, there’s nothing between Mr. Lin and me. It’s just Shan Xiongjie misunderstanding things. Besides, I have no connection with Shan Xiongjie either,” Liao Ke argued resentfully, gritting her teeth.

The rest of the Liao Family looked at Lin Mo with some odd expressions in their eyes.

Although Lin Mo had saved Liao Zhiping and was a benefactor to the Liao Family, he had now staged such a show, and his unclear relationship with Liao Ke had caused a rift between the Shan and Liao families.

”Old Master...” Suddenly, Housekeeper Huang, looking agitated, quickly walked over to Liao Zhiping, leaned down, and whispered a few words.

Liao Zhiping’s face changed slightly as he stood up from his chair, ”What did you say? Miss Bai has come?”

The other members of the Liao Family were also stunned. Although the Gambling Stone provincial event was lively, the Bai Family was in a completely different league. Why would they come to Tengchong for this event?

Compared to the Liao Family, Shan Family, and people like Hei Xiong, they were like giants to ants. Who could have such influence to bring the helmsman of the Bai Family, Miss Bai herself, to attend in person!

Hei Xiong, Black Panther, and Chairman Fang of the Chamber of Commerce seemed to have received the news too, their faces expressing shock as they all stood up.

By this time, the people from the south had already cleared a pathway, through which a group of people walked.

Leading the group was a young girl wearing a white coat with flowing black hair down her shoulders, followed by a middle-aged man in a Martial Arts Uniform.

The girl had sparkling eyes, clear and limpid like twinkling stars, her eyes arching like crescents, seemingly overflowing with spiritual charm.

Everyone in the venue held their breaths, all eyes captured by the girl, not just by her looks, but more importantly, by the confidence and aura she exuded, peerlessly magnificent!

Compared to Li Yunfei, Liao Ke, and the rest, she was like the difference between a maid and a princess.

”Miss Bai.”

”Miss Bai.”

”Miss Bai.”

Chairman Fang shakily stood up, leaning on his cane, and called out respectfully.

Hei Xiong and Black Panther also stood up and bowed.

But Miss Bai, leading a group, didn’t even glance at them, heading straight towards the Liao Family members.

Liao Zhiping’s face was filled with excitement, while Liao Changjing and Liao Changwei were at a loss.

The Bai Family was the number one family in Yun Province, and even ranked high in Huaxia. Bai Family’s pharmaceuticals were known across Huaxia and even exported overseas; they hardly had any interactions with the Liao Family.

Liao Jun, Liao Ke, Li Yunfei, and others watched wide-eyed as Miss Bai walked towards Lin Mo’s direction.

(The excitement continues tomorrow.)
