Northern Region of the Central Continent.
Tianbei City, Han Family.
In the council hall, the atmosphere was rather tense, and the members of the Han Family were also sighing repeatedly.
One middle-aged man in brocade robes said in a deep voice, "Big Brother, Hong Chen being severely injured was his own fault. If he hadn't been so lustful as to try to make a move on Xue'er, Miss Qian, and Miss Hu, how would he have ended up like this? We haven't even gone to settle accounts with the Hong Family, yet they've come knocking on our door? Are they really treating our Han Family like a soft persimmon?"
Seated at the head, Han Chi, the head of the Han Family, let out a cold laugh. "The Hong Family has had designs on our Han Family for more than a day or two. This time, they're merely using the opportunity to stir up trouble. They want us to hand over the people. If we refuse, they can use that as a pretext to attack our Han Family."
The middle-aged man in brocade frowned at those words, and a fierce glint soon flashed across his face.
"In that case, we might as well fight the Hong Family to the death. With Miss Qian here, we have two Dou Zong powerhouses on our side. Are we supposed to fear the Hong Family?"
Han Chi sighed. "The Hong Family itself is not frightening, but the Wind Lightning Pavilion stands behind them. We have outside support, but do you think the Hong Family does not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man in brocade furrowed his brows tightly.
"This won't work, and that won't work. Are we really going to do nothing and wait for the Hong Family to come take them?"
