"Uncle Qian."

Cao Kun leaned forward slightly, his eyes sharp as knives:

"Believe it or not, even if the Qian family of Jiangnan puts forward ten or even twenty more heirs..."

Anyone who gets in my way, I'll take them all down, one by one!

"Until the Qian family has no one else to rely on, and Haoran has no choice but to become the young master of the Qian family!"

He stared into Qian Mingyuan's eyes, his tone extremely serious, possessing an irresistible charm:

"I, Cao Kun, always keep my word. The key now is..."

"Uncle Qian, are you willing to risk your life and fortune to gamble this with me?!"

Qian Mingyuan felt his heart pounding so hard it was about to jump out of his throat.

He felt a strong wave of dizziness, a physiological reaction caused by extreme excitement.

His legs went weak, and he quickly reached out to hold onto the chair and slowly sat down, panting heavily.

His last shred of reason was frantically warning him:

Don't believe him! This is just a pie in the sky dangling from Cao Kun!

Once you get on Cao Kun's pirate ship, it's tantamount to openly raising the flag of rebellion and completely breaking ties with the entire Qian family of Jiangnan!

At that time, the master will be furious and will not care about saving face.

What awaits both sides is a fight to the death!

As a former bigwig in the core of the Qian family in Jiangnan.

Qian Mingyuan knew better than anyone just how terrifying and immense the power hidden beneath the surface of the water family truly was!

That was a mountain pressing down on all the branches!

but……

but!

He looked at the calm-looking young man in front of him.

Deep inside, another voice was screaming frantically.

Cao Kun, he can do it!

He really can do it!

This young man in front of me has achieved this in less than a year.

This has already brought down two heirs of the Qian family in Jiangnan from their pedestals!

The master's family hated him to the core, but what was the result?

Cao Kun was still sitting perfectly fine in his study, even plotting to overthrow the entire Qian family!

Qian Mingyuan couldn't help but start daydreaming.

If, just if...

What if Haoran really becomes the young master of the Qian family?

Qian Mingyuan's expression was uncertain, as if he was struggling violently.

Cao Kun chuckled softly and slowly leaned back in his chair.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

The voice was incredibly deep, like a demon from hell whispering:

"Uncle Qian, it's actually okay if you don't want to."

If you are willing to become a branch of the Qian family in Jiangnan,

He was trampled underfoot by the old men of the main family his whole life.

They will always only get to eat their leftovers.

Well, I don't have much to say then.

Everyone has their own ambitions.

Cao Kun stood up, making a move to leave:

"But Uncle Qian, let me remind you one last time: you only get one chance."

If you disagree, I can just put forward another person to be the young master of the Qian family, and it will be the same.

Once you miss this opportunity, it's gone forever.

"At that time, you can continue to obediently serve as a branch of the Qian family in Jiangnan."

Upon hearing these words, Qian Mingyuan's eyes instantly turned red.

The words "a branch of the Qian family in Jiangnan" were like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into his heart.

In the eyes of ordinary people, becoming a branch of the Qian family in Jiangnan is an unparalleled honor, a symbol of status and prestige.

But for someone like Qian Mingyuan, this identity has long since become a shackle!

This identity severely limited the development potential of the Changteng lineage.

They even became collars around their necks put by their master!

Every year, Qian Mingyuan had to pay a huge sum of money to his master.

If there is the slightest delay, the master's family will ruthlessly impose severe punishment.

This is an act of ruthless exploitation by the host family.

Qian Mingyuan had long harbored deep hatred and loathing for him.

These years, it would be because the master family has been constantly sucking our blood.

The Changteng Qian family's assets could easily have tripled or quadrupled by now!

Just as Qian Mingyuan's inner balance was wavering violently.

Cao Kun seemed to read his mind and casually added a sentence.

"Well, thinking about it, Uncle Qian, it's not so bad that you chose to be content with the status quo."

As long as you are willing to continue to grovel before the Lord's house and hand over large sums of profit on time,

I suppose those old guys in the master's family won't go too far with you.

At most, it'll just be like before, extorting a few more sums of money.

"I just don't know, when you get old, will Haoran be able to handle the situation when facing the main family?"

Cao Kun said with a half-smile.

Qian Mingyuan was suddenly jolted, as if struck by lightning.

Cao Kun's words were piercing to the heart.

The Qian family showed no mercy in exploiting their branches.

These branches, limited by their strength and family status, were simply unable to organize an effective resistance.

In other words, Qian Mingyuan's personal abilities are extremely outstanding.

In recent years, they have been able to resist the exploitation of their master and preserve most of the Changteng Qian family's assets.

They even became core members of the Lord's elders' council.

But he's getting old, and there will come a day when he has to step down.

A terrifying image suddenly flashed into his mind:

If I'm gone in the future, Qian Haoran will be in charge.

With Hao Ran's pitiful cultivation level, how could he possibly withstand the master's ruthless exploitation?

Wouldn't all of Changteng Qian family's decades-long legacy, and all the hard work he'd put in his life, be devoured by the main family?!

Qian Mingyuan shivered.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Qian Mingyuan suddenly stood up, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

He stared at Cao Kun through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented determination.

He slammed his hand hard on the desk, his voice hoarse:

"Damn it! I'm going to fight you!"

"Rather than being slowly worn down by those bastards later, I'd rather fight alongside you now!"

Qian Mingyuan was also a decisive person. Once he made up his mind to rebel, he immediately demonstrated amazing action.

He looked at Cao Kun and said in a deep voice, "Since we've decided to break off all pretense of civility, we need to be fully prepared."

Don't worry, Xiao Cao. The master family has been acting against the tide of history all these years, and it's not just my Chang Teng lineage that has suffered.

I will do my best to secretly contact those branches that harbor resentment towards the main family!

"As long as we unite and work together as one,"

They might actually be able to challenge the master's authority, and even influence the master's will!

Cao Kun was quite satisfied with what he heard and nodded repeatedly.

"Excellent! Uncle Qian is indeed a man of great things; he has the courage and vision!"

Cao Kun walked to the desk, extended his right hand, and looked intently at Qian Mingyuan:

"Rest assured! As long as I, Cao Kun, have a breath left, Haoran will definitely be able to sit on the throne of the young master of the Qian family in Jiangnan!"

"I will kill gods if they stand in my way, and I will kill Buddhas if they stand in my way!"

Hearing Cao Kun's murderous oath...

Qian Mingyuan suddenly stood up and gripped Cao Kun's hand tightly.

He had completely abandoned his last remaining concerns and made up his mind to rebel.

Since there's no way to retreat, let's just go all the way down this path.

Qian Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! From today onwards, the Changteng Qian family is entirely at your disposal!"

"Slay gods if they stand in my way, slay Buddhas if they stand in my way!"
