Half a day later, Austin entered the provincial capital.
The area was very familiar to him since he attended a university in the provincial capital. After he graduated, he found a job in a
big coastal city in the south.
Therefore, he strolled through the streets easily, admiring the bustling and noise of the mortals all around him.
Using the savings his mother had given him, Austin found a hotel and checked in.
He knew it was important to have somewhere he could cback to when he was done his business and the money would give
him somewhere to lay low for a while if he needed it.
Then, Austin got to work investigating the identity of the young master who had hurt his father and his elder brother. He spent
hours following people, trying to overhear their conversations. He knew that this person was famous in the provincial capital. So it
wouldn't be long until he heard his ncup in regular conversation.
His hard work paid off when he learned that the young master was the son of Titus Xu, the chairman of the CT Group Limited.
His nwas Sheehan Xu and he was very powerful and rich.
The CT Group was a large enterprise group that consisted of many branches in various industries. It owned over one hundred
companies and carefully raised them under its wings.
So, the CT Group was really a big member of the community and very vital for the economy.
Austin learned that the Xu Clan, where Titus Xu had originated from, was even more famous and wealthy than Austin had thought.
As for Titus Xu, he was not only the chairman of the CT Group, but also the leader of the Xu Clan!
He was momentarily grateful for the fof the CT Group and Titus.
Otherwise, it could have taken days to find them.
'Okay. They are famous but no one will truly miss them when they are gone, '
Austin thought to himself.
That evening, on the outskirts of the provincial capital, there was a three-storied villa in a high-end residential area and it was
grand and beautiful, just like Austin had expected it to be.
Around the villa was a large courtyard with a sparkling fountain in the middle of it.
The courtyard occupied an area of five hundred square meters and there were flowers of various species planted on the edges of
it. Ponds with colorful, small fish were spotted in and soft music played from an overhead speaker.
With all its extravagance, the villa clearly belonged to the Xu Clan.
It was customary that every year, the Xu Clan would hold a family party in this villa, and today, with great luck, it happened to be
the annual family gathering of the Xu Clan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNormally, the courtyard was quiet and peaceful but tonight, it was lively and teeming with people.
Many members of the Xu Clan were gathered around the fountain, drinking, enjoying delicious food, and conversing with each
other. The noise could be heard almost a mile away!
In the center of the yard, someone had constructed a high platform. Spotlights were focused on it and it glowed against the dark
sky.
"Everyone, can | have your attention? I'd like to announce that this year has been a good year for the Xu Clan, and we are here to
celebrate it together.
In the past few months, our CT Group has set up three subsidiaries in the Smile City, which is the economic head of the southeast
region of our country.
This means that we can use the Smile City foothold to expand into the whole southeast region.
If things keep on moving forward at this pace, we will be able to take more steps soon.
First the southeast region, then other prosperous areas, then all the coastal regions in the next couple of years.
Our goal is for the Xu Clan to develop overseas and becan international group!
Are you with us?"
announced a middle-aged man that was wearing a pair of glasses. He raised the glass of red wine in his hand and stopped to listen
to the cheers of his audience.
Austin figured that this middle-aged man was the contemporary master of the Xu Clan, Titus Xu.
"Well said, Titus!
Our Xu Clan will have no trouble developing and spreading to the whole world with you at the helm!"
Quickly, the yard filled with excited chatter and the clinking of glasses. Titus Xu watched, satisfied, from his perch on the platform
as they all but worshipped him.
"Daddy is right!
You've all seen it with your own eyes.
In the coming years, our Xu Clan will grow into an international clan and | will be the young master of it.
| am not only popular inside our country, but also powerful in other countries and | will help bring us there!"
a young man around 25 years old with feminine features yelled from the side of the platform.
Austin felt his heart lurch in his chest. This had to be Sheehan Xu, the young master of the CT Group and the only child of Titus Xu.
"I have confidence in you, Sheehan. You're young, capable, and promising. You will take over the position of your father and
becthe next leader of the CT Group. We need you to secure our future."
Pressing in all around him were a group of young members of the Xu Clan and they were all clearly sucking up to him, hoping for
just a second of praise.
Sheehan sat on a high pedestal all because his father was the core figure of the Xu Clan. He was popular among the younger
generation and he constantly used it to his advantage.
He hoped that he would be promoted to the next clan head.
As the atmosphere hit its highest point of anticipation, a voice was heard over the crowd.
"Ha-ha. An international business? You wish! | guess it's true what they say. You members of the Xu Clan are really ambitious,"
Austin commented while he stood on the outskirts of the crowd, blended into the plants.
"What?"
All the noises in the yard stopped abruptly, and everyone began searching the crowd for the source.
"Who is speaking?"
Titus Xu shouted, reacting first. His face was already turning red, but Austin couldn't tell if it was from anger or embarrassment.
"It's me,"
the voice answered calmly.
The crowd gasped and spread to allow Austin to walk casually through it.
He stopped a few meters from the platform and smiled. Austin had dressed in casual clothing on purpose and he carefully stood
with his left hand held behind his back. In his right hand was a glass of wine.
Swish...
Like he had the plague, the Xu Clan members that were around Austin all took a few steps back. The space around him was
completely vacant and one of the spotlights even turned to illuminate him. The members of the Xu Clan quickly noted how
handshe was.
'Who is he?"
Everyone wondered as they warily stared at him.
"Young man, who are you? How did you get in here?"
a member of the Xu Clan shouted, yet he didn't approach him.
It was the Xu Clan's family party today but apart from a group of servants, there were no outsiders invited.
It was clear to the naked eye that Austin was not a family member, even if it weren't for his lack of dress wear.
"If my guess is right, you're the young master of the TC Group, Sheehan Xu.
And | want to let you know that I'm here for you."
Ignoring the rest, Austin turned to look at Sheehan.
"You chere for me? But... | didn't invite you. I'm not even sure that | know you,"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSheehan Xu mumbled, scratching his head.
"I see. He must be a friend of the young master."
All the other Xu Clan members turned to each other and seemed to nod in agreement.
It was well-known that Sheehan Xu relished in the power of his father and spent the majority of his tloafing about and
befriending countless losers. He didn't do anything the proper way.
It made sof them resent him and his easy rise to power.
However, none of them had expected him to invite one of his friends to this important occasion.
Besides, he had just ridiculed the Xu Clan on their big plans of development.
‘This time, the young master has really gone too far.
Humph! This young man is disrespectful and we can't let him get away with it."
Instantly, all the gazes of the members of the Xu Clan were directed from Sheehan Xu to Austin.
"I'm so angry with you, Sheehan!
You're just spending all your twith rubbish!
When are you going to grow up?"
Titus Xu shouted, feeling his anger boil over.
"But, Dad, | actually don't know him..."
Unfortunately, his father didn't look as though he was willing to listen to any explanations.
"Ha-ha, the young master of Xu Clan is really immature.
This time, he not only got himself in trouble, but also got your family involved,"
Austin commenting, laughing gleefully.
"What? What are you talking about?"
Austin's words had stunned all members of the Xu Clan into a brief silence.
