Chapter 708 Four major families
[You need to understand the script of your own life. You are not the sequel to your parents, nor the prequel to your children, nor the epilogue to your friends. You might as well take some risks in life, because sooner or later you will lose it.]

What am I living for...

Hey...you know what?
My name is not Chang Yufeng at all...

But, I should still be called Chang Yufeng...

Because there are too many people who place their hopes on me, I will live for them...

This is the reason why I live...

This also fits…my…life…

"My name is! Chang Yufeng!"

He stood on the high platform and slowly looked at the moon.

"My name is Chang Yufeng!"

He yelled like crazy.

"My name is Chang Yu Feng!"

The sound came from above the moon, then turned around and came down, ringing on the top of the Longxinghui building.

"I know why Yilongzhi admires you so much..."

Xun Huangying stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets with some emotion, and said in a cool way: "No one will not love a bird that dreams of flying in the sky..."

Xun Huangying nudged Chang Yufeng with his shoulder and motioned Chang Yufeng to look at him. Chang Yufeng slowly looked over and saw that the person who looked exactly like him had turned into another handsome man.

Xun Huangying is very handsome. Unlike Chang Yufeng, he looks like a face carefully selected from God-given looks. He has a thin forehead, a straight nose, and red and angry eyebrows and eyes. However, this anger is in his facial features. Even if he does not mean to be angry, it makes people afraid. However, if a woman is described as beautiful as a flower, then Chang Yufeng's face is as gentle as jade, with clear eyebrows and eyes, which makes people feel that he is easy to bully.

As for Xunhuangying, he is standing on the steps with a dignified bearing and a unique style.

"I also want to be a free bird." Xun Huangying overlooked the night view of Wenti County. Several families were sitting leisurely, several beauties were enjoying the cool of the moon, and several children were laughing and playing.

This is all the past... maybe it has happened again and again... flowing in the long river of time...

"Why can't a level 29 person beat a level 60 person?" Xun Huangying twisted his neck: "Please... you are a god now..."

Xun Huangying blinked, and his right eye was like a star, shining in Chang Yufeng's eyes...

【One hour ago】

In the main hall of the Longxing Building, everyone was seated. Locke stood up straight, reading the manuscript in his hand. Below the stage were all the members participating in this year's Dragon Convention in Wenti County, including the Theatus Family represented by Shaw, the Carolingian Family represented by Lilimaren, the Louis Family represented by Freddy, and the Pangbo Family which was invited but had no young people participating. In other words, the four major families in Wenti County were present to discuss matters concerning the Dragon Convention.

In fact, every year's Dragon Assembly will go through such a formality to discuss matters. If there is nothing special, the registration and logistics matters of the Dragon Assembly will be carried out according to the original regulations.

But now, it's definitely different.

"The above are the catering matters. If other families have no objection, the Carolingian family will be responsible for it." Locke gestured to Lilimarlene, who was the representative of the Carolingian family. Lilimarlene stood up quickly, bowed to everyone, and then sat down quickly.

"Ms. Lili Marlene, if you personally prepare delicious food for the contestants, maybe all the contestants will achieve unexpected results." Locke praised Lili Marlene: "Looking back, it's a pity that you didn't participate in the finals. It must be because the food prepared by the family back then was too bad... not to your taste. This time, I hope our Ms. Lili Marlene can represent Caroline to make delicious food that the contestants will like and achieve better results."

Locke took a look here. Lili Marlene was sitting at the large square table built by the four major families. They had a unique seat, far away from the podium.

"Pfft..." Freddy laughed, which was obviously a mockery of Caroline. He laughed because he felt that Lili Marlene's face, which had turned green, was too gloomy. He had rarely seen Lili Marlene so gloomy.

"Exposing someone's secrets in public... this is not good..." Freddy stopped smiling and put his hand on the edge of the chair, comforting Lili Marlene next to him: "We can joke around, but this old man is probably really trying to shake up the status of the four major families..."

"Anna didn't even come... It seems that I think too highly of Loken." Lilimaren glared at Freddy: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come..."

"Then why aren't you here?" Freddy put a biscuit in his mouth and gently took off a piece.

"I'm here to see that little girl... I don't care about Locke or anything..." Lilimaren whispered a curse word.

"I also want to see that little girl as soon as possible..."

Shaw clenched his fists and held them beneath his robes.

Many people heard the news that Locke wanted to adopt a very strong girl as his little daughter and attend this year's Dragon Assembly. Although they were not like Xiao Er and the four major families who came to see Locke's little daughter, everyone wanted to see this young strong person...

Locke was still giving a speech on the stage. The organizer of this event was Longxing Association, which was naturally his home court. In this annual event, Longxing Association had full authority to host it. All the families, big and small in Wenti County, could benefit from it without putting in too much effort, so they could naturally follow suit. They all bowed as if they were being called.

"What about you? Freddy? You care about this too?" Lilimaren put a piece of cake in Lilia's bowl. Lilia frowned and stared at the carefully selected strawberry on the cake, and she had no intention of eating it.

"I want to see it too... Is it not possible? I heard that this little girl is very outstanding... If she is special, it is not impossible to let her help us promote the new clothes, right?" Freddy ate the cream on the top layer, then slowly put the cake down and wiped his mouth with paper. He glanced at Lilia and continued to eat the appetizer in front of him: "If it is Lilia, it is also possible, right? Think about it, if such a beautiful girl wears our clothes, the same type of clothes will definitely sell well."

"Come on... Lilia will never show up in public... Can you get past Locke? The daughter he just recognized..." Lilimaren didn't eat either, but slowly looked at the representatives of the surrounding families and chambers of commerce. Of course, they were also looking at other people instead of really coming here to eat.

The family was able to rise to prominence because of business, there was no such thing as a family granted by the empire. A group of businessmen sat together, naturally only talking about business... There was another table. It was empty, and that was naturally the seat of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Their absence did not mean that this year's Dragon Assembly would not be held...

However, the carriage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was already prepared. Lord Longxu had been invited, so he had to come. However, they were just like the real leaders of the four major families, so they didn't need to show up in person. After discussing things, they left naturally...

This isn't an event where you can't leave early, but rather a form of negotiation - just like a banquet, whether the inviter is embarrassed or not has nothing to do with the invitees.

However, Locke's ambition is clear enough. He wants to step out of Wenti County and gain more voice through the Dragon Conference. The four major families are waiting for Lord Longxu's opinion. Now, their family core leaders are sitting upright in the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, discussing how to deal with Locke, the old fox, next.

"Mr. Longxu...according to you, you want us to devote all our efforts to make this Dragon Exorcism Convention a success?"

A burly man sat in front of Longxugong with his arms crossed. The patriarch of the Tyatus family, Albert Tyatus, closed his eyes and discussed the matter helplessly. Shor was very much like his father. He was sitting at the table, also very silent, waiting quietly.

"This is not a good idea... He wants to recognize a daughter today. If we do our best to help him, it will only be in vain. Let her win the championship in the swordsman category."

A middle-aged woman with white hair leaned against the wall, also thinking with her eyes closed. [Jasmine Pangbo], the head of the Pangbo family, was a dignified and elegant beauty. Her white hair moved without wind. She snorted: "Let Locke be more legitimate."

"Sir Longxu... If it were you, wouldn't you know what Madam Rose meant?" An old man slowly touched his cane. He was the patriarch of the Louis family. His successor was a middle-aged man who stood quietly beside him.

"I'm sorry... Mr. [Marenza Louis], I don't know what Madam Rose means." Mr. Longxu also calmed down. He just opened his eyes, looked at Marenza in front of him, and shook his head gently. The atmosphere here was so depressing that everyone was silent.

"Madam Rose is obviously getting close to Locke... This is what I'm most worried about... If the royal family gets involved... things will be a lot more troublesome than we thought..." Another middle-aged man, whose hair had turned from thick black to snow-white and was sitting quietly in a chair, sighed lightly.

His name is Norman Carolingian.

"If Locke can get hold of something that Madam Rose has no clue about, then the title of this Dragon Tournament will be handed over to us..."

Jasmine glanced at Longxu Gong unwillingly. Her dissatisfaction had been fully revealed. Those who could sit here to discuss this matter were naturally dissatisfied...

But dissatisfaction cannot solve the problem, so all those who are dissatisfied with Locke gathered here...

It doesn't matter if the small families have no stance on either side. They are just fence-sitters who side with whoever wins. Don't expect them to stand up against Locke.

They didn't care about Locke's past, nor did they care much about Locke's present. They were afraid of the future that Locke envisioned...

The winner of the Dragon Exit Conference and a formal student of the Fulan Royal Academy is definitely a stone that can knock on the jade of any higher power organization in the principality.

If she is backed by Locke's Longxing Society, then it must be the sign of Longxing Society. If she relies on him, even if another huge family appears, it is not impossible...

A new family named Locke Family seems to be about to emerge, and the four major families in Wenti County will become four major families. If Locke devotes all his efforts to creating a genius, this will not be a simple family dispute...

Everyone can see Locke's ambition. The huge wealth accumulated from dirty business has given him enough capital to build a prestigious and large chamber of commerce, or even a family. However, as long as Locke falls, his Longxing Society will collapse. Just like establishing a crown prince, Locke is planning to publicly establish someone who can take over his position...

Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, everyone is afraid of his strength...

After Locke's death, everyone could foresee the chaos in Longxing Society, but after Locke's death, there were still young people who took over... He wanted to create a... God...

this world……

I'm afraid the world will turn upside down...

"Madam Rose... must be neutral. As long as she hasn't expressed her position, we can't involve her. No matter what she wants, we will basically help whoever wins... Our most basic problem now is to defeat Locke and put an end to his plan to create a god." Albert thought more realistically. He put his hand on his arm and grabbed his armor.

"One Alvin, one Katutan, and Loken himself are already difficult to deal with... It is absolutely impossible for the younger generation to take action..." Norman coughed and snorted: "If there is someone who is equally powerful to block his plan directly at the root... it will work..."

"Then where can we find... a child who is stronger than level 60... and meets the requirements of the Dragon Conference?" Marenza glanced at Norman. This plan was definitely impossible, so he said with contempt: "This plan is nonsense!"

"What can we do? Do we have to change the thousand-year-old Dragon Convention rules? Six-year-old children with strength above level 30 are not allowed to participate?" Norman stared at Marenza and snorted, "If you think so, then what's the point of the Dragon Convention? Isn't it to select the future strong men for the Principality?"

"Norman!" Jasmine glared at Norman.

There is actually no way to negotiate this matter. Sometimes, even if you know that Locke is going to do something, there is no way to really stop him.

Locke is now the most proactive party. Is it not possible for him to recognize a six-year-old daughter? Is it not possible for her daughter to participate in the Dragon Assembly?

Why not let him do something that is legal and compliant? Isn't it because he has something to hide? Then he will definitely work harder.

Any action now would be tantamount to alerting the enemy.

Locke is not a pushover. He once massacred a family and took over the Longxing Society. So, it shouldn't be difficult for him to massacre another family again thirty-three years later...

At least, it would be extremely easy for him to harm anyone in the current family...

Because Locke is a desperado, he can drag anyone he wants to take down with him, and Locke knows more or less about the big families' weaknesses.

The comparison of this kind of thing is like only allowing the four major families to have spies, but not allowing Locke to have spies?
Ah……

The four major families, whose hands and feet are restricted, will definitely not be able to come up with any good methods... If they stay still, there will be a commotion, and if they move, they will be hurt...
