Chapter 250: Chapter 250: The Nation’s Stance

The news spread quickly.

It followed closely behind the news from the Bai Family.

In an instant, the city was thrown into chaos.

The major families were all dumbfounded.

Lu Ran is at the peak of his power now, and he single-handedly resolved a level six monster siege. Would the Bai Family dare to kill him?

The Four Major Unions and the country both value him, would you dare to kill him?

What’s more, could you even kill him?

Lu Ran resolved a level six monster siege single-handedly. With that kind of strength, could you really kill him?

They couldn’t understand the thought process of Bai Yunzong, who lost his son.

Instead of seeking discreet revenge or a sneak attack, he chose to make a public spectacle!

The people walked through the streets and alleys, eager to watch the excitement.

Yet none knew what actions the Bai Family would take now.

That didn’t stop everyone’s fervent discussions.

“The Bai Family must be crazy, right? I was on the city wall during the monster siege, and Lu Ran could fly, damn it!”

“They must be crazy. Who could possibly kill Lu Ran?”

“Wasn’t Bai Lei the top rank in the Tianfu Society? And he got killed just like that?”

“Nonsense, the one who killed him was Lu Ran. Isn’t that straightforward?”

“The Tianfu Society has announced that Bai Lei died in a Tianfu Society member’s challenge, not from a personal vendetta.”

“Bai Family can’t handle losing; they died in a fair challenge, so why seek revenge?”

“I’m just here for the show. It looks like the Bai Family is finished.”

…

At the same time.

At the Celestial Path Alliance headquarters.

Liu Xinxin and others received the news.

“Has Lu Ran been informed?” Ye Hongyi asked.

“Yes, and Shan Man has been informed as well. Shen Man’s suggestion is not to have Lu Ran get involved,” Liu Xinxin replied.

“Oh? Why? So how do we solve this?” Lei Tai asked, puzzled.

“Naturally, we will handle it and observe the nation’s stance,” Liu Xinxin pondered aloud, glancing at Yu Qingcang.

Though Yu Qingcang is also a president of one of the Four Major Unions, the presence of the Celestial Path Alliance makes Yu Qingcang much more than just a president.

Yu Qingcang understands and knows the national intentions best.

“The message is clear: The Bai Family is courting death,” Yu Qingcang candidly stated.

“So what do we do now? I still think it would be explosive if Lu Ran personally showed up—taking on a whole family alone, how cool would that be,” Lei Tai excitedly said.

As for worries.

None of these presidents had any worries about Lu Ran, definitely not!

With Lu Ran’s strength, even if the sky fell, he wouldn’t die, let alone because of a mere Bai Family.

“The Bai Family is not worth worrying about. Lu Ran could easily deal with them, but that doesn’t achieve the effect we want. Now is an opportunistic moment. Shen Man should also see this; the Four Major Unions and the nation’s consensus is to jointly resolve this, which will completely solidify Lu Ran’s status and position. This is the role of the Bai Family. The timing of their presence puts Lu Ran in this situation. Plus, before the national war, if Lu Ran performs again, henceforth, the first person in Longxia will be Lu Ran!” Liu Xinxin stated.

Indeed, smart people’s thoughts are different.

Shen Man and Liu Xinxin’s thoughts aligned perfectly.

Even the straightforward-minded Lei Tai grasped it immediately.

“I see, so what do we do now?” Lei Tai pondered.

“Deploy troops to attack the Bai Family, and do it publicly, announcing it to the world. As for how the country resolves it, that’s the country’s business. I’m sure it won’t be a small movement,” Liu Xinxin stated directly.

“It’s settled, then! My sisters from the Red Robe Tower are bored stiff now,” Ye Hongyi said, as she directly opened her communication device.

The Red Robe Tower assembled for transmission to the Imperial Capital!

Lei Tai and Liu Xinxin exchanged glances.

Both took out their communication devices to start summoning the Battle Banner National Defense Army and the high-combat professionals from Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Yu Qingcang had it the easiest.

He was already at the Celestial Path Alliance headquarters, just one shout, and they could set off!

Not long after.

On the other side.

In his home, Liu Qinghe was restless, pacing from time to time.

He checked his communication device.

There were several messages from Bai Yunzong there.

Of course, urging Liu Qinghe to help.

Seeing that Liu Qinghe didn’t react, Bai Yunzong began to threaten to cancel cooperation or the like.

“Damn it. This Bai Yunzong is really out of his mind,” Liu Qinghe cursed irritably. “The news is all over the city now, and I don’t know what stance the Four Major Unions have, nor the national stance.”

It’s hard.

Giving up collaboration with the Bai Family would be a painful thing for Liu Qinghe.

Now the Liu Family is stuck in a dilemma, driven to frustration.

Just then.

A report suddenly came from his subordinate.

“Our people received news that a large number of Battle Banner National Defense Army personnel have been transmitted to the Imperial Capital.”

“People from Mirror Flower Water Moon and the Red Robe Tower have also arrived, and they are all high-combat professionals.”

“In front of them, they all proceeded to the Celestial Path Alliance as well, and the Celestial Path Alliance seems to be summoning its guild members too.”

…

Liu Qinghe’s eyes widened.

What does this mean?

The Four Major Unions are gathering in the Imperial Capital?

Is this to deal with the Bai Family?

But…

Do they need such a grand display? For just the Bai Family targeting Lu Ran, causing such a big commotion?

“If this is aimed at the Bai Family, then…” Liu Qinghe pondered.

But before he finished speaking.

Another subordinate brought news.

“The Full-time Alliance and the Imperial Capital Inspection Team have entered all major industries of the Bai Family for liquidation and detailed investigation,” the subordinate reported.

Instantly, Liu Qinghe’s brow twitched wildly!

He could almost conclude it.

All these matters are because of Lu Ran!

Or rather, because of Bai Yunzong’s foolishness!

The Bai Family is finished!

At this moment.

Bai Yunzong’s message came again:

“Liu Qinghe, give me a definitive answer. Are you going to help the Bai Family or not? You’d better think it through. The Bai and Liu Families have had business cooperation for so many years, intertwined as one. If you…”

Liu Qinghe didn’t even finish reading before his pupils contracted suddenly.

Yes.

The Bai and Liu Families have worked together for so many years, intertwined as one!

If something were to happen to the Bai Family, what would happen to the Liu Family in turn?

He was instantly thrown into panic.

He immediately opened his communication device and cursed, “Help your granny! Go to hell. What relation do I have with you? What relation does the Liu Family have with the Bai Family? Get lost, send me another message, and you’ll be blacklisted!”

Strictly, sternly stated the Liu Family’s position!

Simultaneously, gathering the managers of each Liu Family industry.

Without hesitation, he shouted, “Separate all the Liu Family’s current cooperation with the Bai Family! Not a single trace can be left!”

All the managers were dumbfounded.

“But… forcing separation could lead to losses…”

“Regardless of loss, separate completely! Didn’t you understand my words? Anyone who leaves any loophole or regrets the money and doesn’t finish, I’ll have their hide removed! Go now, quickly!” Liu Qinghe shouted angrily, urging them on.

At a time like this, who cares about losses?

The Liu Family could be gone, damn it!

“That Bai Yunzong is a fool, damn it. How come this wasn’t noticed in all these years of cooperation? Damn, it’s a good thing I reacted quickly. I hope it’s not too late!” Liu Qinghe’s body trembled slightly.

It’s damn terrifying.

He now wished to give himself two slaps.

From the moment Bai Yunzong acted foolishly, he should have made the decision immediately!
