Chapter 1194: The Biel Family
"Before, I didn't understand what it meant for family interests to be above all. Now, I understand that it means sacrificing our interests to benefit the entire family. However, when the family's interests are harmed, no matter how much someone has contributed to the family, they can be sacrificed. This is what it means for family interests to be above all! Ridiculous!"
Mao Junyuan looked coldly at the crowd of the Mao Family. Everyone involuntarily lowered their heads; no one had the face to meet his gaze, not even Mao Ping, who looked guilty.
Xu Hao looked at everyone indifferently, with not a trace of compassion in his heart.
Differences in positions are normal, and mutual strife is quite common. But Mao Junyuan and Bidimi insisted on using vile means to deal with him, so they couldn't blame him for being ruthless.
"Bang!"
Without the slightest compassion or hesitation, Mao Junyuan, who had been ordinary for over twenty years and had just started to show his talents, was slapped to death by Xu Hao.
No one in the entire room dared to refute.
Everyone looked at Xu Hao with eyes full of awe.
Xu Hao knew that from this moment on, even if the Mao Family wanted to defeat him in business, they would have to think carefully. Without absolute certainty, they would probably hesitate to act.
"We'll stop here today. I hope you all take care. I'm not one to provoke trouble, but if anyone dares to attack me or those around me, they can't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying this, Xu Hao didn't care about the crowd's reaction and directly took Jiang Xuezhun in his arms and leapt away from the Mao Family.
As they watched Xu Hao's elegant departure, the Mao Family members remained silent.
A gentle breeze blew by, and many felt a chilly sensation.
It turned out they were all frightened to the point of cold sweat by Xu Hao.
After a long while, Lü Yuanbin said, "Xu Hao has fully grown. In the future, if you wish to compete with him in business, make sure you have a tenfold assurance before acting. I'm going back to the family to immerse myself in cultivation. Unless the world changes dramatically, I won't reappear."
Lü Yuanbin was somewhat disheartened. After instructing a few things, he lightly left the Mao Family.
"Sigh—!"
It was unsure who sighed, and endless sorrow instantly filled the Mao Family.
...
North America, Canada.
Here, it is truly vast and sparsely populated.
The Biel Family, as one of Canada's three immensely powerful families, controls a substantial amount of Canada's wealth and resources.
Any Canadian has heard of the Biel Family.
Canada is a vast and resource-rich country, with mining resources such as nickel, copper, zinc, aluminum, and diamonds among the world's leaders.
Mineral resource development and application is the Biel Family's most weighted industry, with the family occupying one-third of Canada's mineral resources, showing their power and status in Canada.
The manor is a very common form of residence abroad.
However, the Biel Family's manor is built far beyond most manors in the world.
Its area alone covers five square kilometers, and the servants and maids within the manor are countless.
"Clan Leader, Knight Inoke, the leader of the Thirteen Knights of the Feisha Association, requests to see you."
Soaking in the hot spring, surrounded by two young women, the Biel Family Clan Leader Cass heard the maid at the hot spring entrance say, and immediately laughed, "Hahaha! Knight Inoke, the leader of the Thirteen Knights of the Feisha Association? That guy is a powerhouse, famous in all of North America decades ago. Since he's here, I must properly entertain him. Someone, prepare a fine feast; I want to entertain Knight Inoke properly! Also, please invite Knight Inoke to the guest hall."
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
Several maids immediately went to arrange people to prepare.
As Cass let the maid dress him, he thought: Knight Inoke is from the Feisha Association, and according to the information Kidd sent back, the Feisha Association possesses the other half of the Treasure Key. Inoke is the spokesperson of the Feisha Association President; he's here to say something? It should be related to the Treasure Key, right?
Soon, in the Biel Family guest hall.
Looking at Inoke sitting as a guest, Cass laughed heartily, "Hahaha, seeing Knight Inoke in person, I feel extremely honored!"
Inoke, clad in silver knight armor, cupped his fists to Cass, saying, "Cass Family Patriarch, it's nice to meet you, and I look forward to your guidance."
"Haha, it's not about guidance. I wonder if there is anything you want to discuss, Knight Inoke?" Cass smiled slightly.
Inoke rose and said, "Cass Family Patriarch, previously, due to the Treasure Key, there were some misunderstandings between us. But now there is an even stronger enemy before us that needs to be dealt with swiftly, so I wonder if we should put aside our prejudices and join forces against that enemy?"
Cass smiled slightly and said, "Knight Inoke, I know who you're talking about. That Huaya person Xu Hao, right? But he and I have no grievances or enmity, so why should I do this?"
