Zhao Changsheng also walked in, looking at the scene before him with a slight frown. "If he went to find Lafayette, this matter might not be easily resolved."
He had dueled with Lafayette before and knew just how unfathomable Lafayette's strength was.
This individual was a giant capable of single-handedly suppressing all the influential families in Canton City!
According to his knowledge, Lafayette had even participated in the founding battle ninety years ago!
The strength and status were unimaginable.
Moreover, it was said that Lafayette had a terrifying super powerhouse backing him.
That was also one of the reasons why Lafayette could maintain control over the major families!
Once Lafayette stood up for Cui Hong, even if the Zhao family wanted to win, they would have to pay a hefty price.
Wang Chao's gaze turned cold, and he turned to leave.
"Dr. Wang, where are you going?" Zhao Kun asked.
"To find Lafayette!" Wang Chao replied coldly, without looking back.
As long as Cui Hong was alive, his loved ones would be in danger, and he had to deal with Cui Hong.
Zhao Changsheng's expression changed, and he quickly stopped Wang Chao, saying, "Mr. Wang, you can't do that."
"If Cui Hong seeks help from Lafayette, the consequences would be unimaginable. If you go to find Lafayette at this time, it's likely to further escalate the situation!"
Zhao Kun's expression also turned serious as he said with emphasis, "Mr. Wang, let us handle this matter. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
"What answer?" Wang Chao furrowed his brow.
"Negotiation!"
Just then, Zhao Donghe walked in from outside, his gaze calm and exuding an authoritative aura of a person in power. He said calmly, "Negotiation?'' Wang Chao furrowed his brow even more.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"If there's another outbreak of conflict, it won't be favorable for both our Zhao family and Lafayette's side."
Zhao Donghe's expression remained calm as he said, "Next, I will negotiate with Lafayette, requesting that he hand over Cui Hong or summon him. We will sit down and have a peaceful conversation."
"I believe Lafayette is also considering this approach."
"How long will it take?" Wang Chao furrowed his brow.
"At least three days, at most tomorrow," Zhao Donghe replied.
"Alright, understood."
Wang Chao nodded and then looked at Zhao Donghe, saying, "Mr. Zhao, thank you for standing up for me today."
"Dr. Wang, there's no need to be so polite. We are on the same boat now and naturally need to help each other," Zhao Donghe replied.
"Alright, then I'll wait for good news from you tomorrow," Wang Chao said.
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Zhao Donghe watched Wang Chao's departing figure and then turned to Zhao Kun. "Are you sure he killed the Black Robe?"
Zhao Kun nodded solemnly, "I compared the handprint on the Black Robe's neck, and it was identical to Dr. Wang's handprint!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Donghe's pupils contracted sharply, murmuring, "It seems that Dr. Wang is even more mysterious and unpredictable than we imagined. Aligning with him will undoubtedly benefit our Zhao family."
"Old Master, Dr. Wang seems to have noticed the flaws in our family's techniques," Zhao Changsheng said.
"Really?" Zhao Donghe's eyes brightened.
"Indeed! We never mentioned it to him, but he could immediately see the shortcomings in our cultivation method," Zhao Kun said.
Zhao Donghe's expression changed, his eyes becoming increasingly bright and joyful.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "Spread the news that Cui Hong attacked the Zhao family first and then fled. Remember to emphasize that Cui Hong made the first move against us!"
"Understood, I'll take care of it immediately," Zhao Kun nodded.
On that day, under Zhao Kun's deliberate dissemination, the news of Cui Hong's attack on the Zhao family and subsequent escape spread throughout Canton City.
As soon as this news broke, it immediately shocked many families and forces in Canton City, leading to widespread discussions.
"Did you hear? Cui Hong actually dared to make a move against the Zhao family, smashing many of their shops. He's incredibly audacious."
"Lafayette is backing Cui Hong, an influential figure. The Zhao family must be quite courageous to confront him head-on!"
"Cui Hong is clearly a troublemaker and the weakest among the Four Great Kings. Now he's running away after raiding an underground bank. It's laughable."
"Heh, Cui Hong of the Four Great Kings is nothing more than a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Abandoning his turf and fleeing underground, he's a joke!"
"When two major forces collide, if a real life-and-death battle breaks out, a major storm is likely to come, and no force may be able to avoid it."
"We need to be prepared. Once they start fighting, we will all suffer."
The storm is brewing, and the winds are howling!
All organizations, forces, or families connected to these two powers felt immense pressure and prepared themselves for an imminent melee.
Canton City, under Lafayette's command, in the villa of another member of the Four Great Kings, the Iron King.
"Damn it!"
"What do you mean I fled the underground bank? What do you mean I'm a coward?"
"I was just a guest here. If I had known they were coming, I would have fought them and beaten them to a pulp!"
Cui Hong sat on the sofa, listening to the news, smoking a cigar. His face was gloomy, and his expression was incredibly ugly as he muttered angrily.
The Iron King sat across from him, sneering, "Enough, Cui Hong. Everyone knows what kind of person you are. No need to pretend in front of me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Iron King was burly and robust, with a rough appearance and a stubble on his face. His large beer belly was particularly eye-catching.
However, his gaze was sharper than an eagle's and more ruthless than a wolf's, sending chills down one's spine.
"Iron King, what do you mean by that?" Cui Hong exploded in anger.
"You can't even defend your own business and came here to hide. You're just a rat crossing the street," the Iron King uttered bluntly.
"Iron King, are you looking to die?" Cui Hong's gaze turned cold, standing up and glaring at the Iron King.
"You desire to fight me? Can you defeat me?" The Iron King looked disdainful.
Cui Hong glanced at the Iron King's physique, a hint of terror flashing in his eyes.
Among the Four Great Kings, the Iron King was the strongest and had the highest defense. He was known as the "Copper Wall and Iron Barrier" and the "Invincible Iron King"!
He had fought against the Iron King many times but could not break through his defense. On the other hand, every time the Iron King struck, it caused internal injuries.
"Forget it, I won't lower myself to your level." Cui Hong gritted his teeth and sat back down, suppressing his inner anger.
He was currently in hiding and taking refuge in the Iron King's villa. If he fell out with the Iron King, he might truly have nowhere to hide. After all, the Zhao family was searching for him throughout the city.
The Iron King sneered, took a sip of milk tea, and coldly said, "Cui Hong, let me tell you the truth. I took you in not because I pity you, but because Lafayette asked me to keep you here."
"He will come to see you personally."
"What?"
Cui Hong's expression drastically changed upon hearing this. "No, I can not let him know I'm here. I can't give rise to trouble for him. I have to leave now."
After saying that, he stood up and made a dash for the door.
Buzz!
Before he could even open the villa's main door, an immensely powerful aura swept in like a raging wave, engulfing Cui Hong in an instant.
At some unknown time, an elderly man with a corpulent body like Maitreya Buddha and snow-white hair had appeared at the doorway, staring coldly at Cui Hong.
His eyes were icy like knives, merciless and ruthless.
"Lafayette, why, why are you here?"
Cui Hong's pupils contracted intensely, his face turning pale with shock.
Facing this elderly figure, he felt as if he were caught in a tempest, confronting a raging dragon. His body was suddenly covered in goosebumps, his face turned ashen, and he trembled uncontrollably.
