Ten minutes later.
Outside the hotel.
The dense crowd parted into two lines.
Awakened in matching black suits bowed their heads respectfully, waiting for the king of the Northeast to appear.
The Ming King sat in a wheelchair, hidden inside an apartment across the street.
He watched the street below calmly through the window.
"Master, I'm afraid Old Ninth is in serious trouble today."
The Butler smiled gleefully. "They've hit a brick wall this time."
Who could have imagined that the Ma Family's old patriarch would come to Ice Prefecture in person?
Compared with Shen Prefecture, the Ma Family's home base, Ice Prefecture was on an entirely different level.
If Ma Fangshan's life hadn't been hanging by a thread, this king of the Northeast would never have come to Ice Prefecture.
"Brothers trying to kill each other. That old man from the Ma Family couldn't possibly sit still."
The Ming King sneered. "What good is all that wealth? A powerful family... heh. I wonder if old Ma's heart is bleeding right now."
"Shall we go down?" the Butler asked, watching the hotel exit.
Old Ma walked out without a word, his face dark.
"With such a huge scandal in the Ma Family, wouldn't showing up now just rub salt in old Ma's wounds?" The Ming King waved a hand, seeing the situation clearly.
"Huh..."
The two were still enjoying the Ma Family's infighting.
The appearance of a group of people stunned both the Ming King and the Butler.
Old Ninth walked behind old Ma, his face bruised and swollen.
Hi Dog and the others all hung their heads.
So many of them against one man, and they hadn't even lasted five minutes against the old man.
"Ptooey."
Sporting a black eye, Old Ninth spat out a mouthful of blood defiantly.
