The Zuo Household's Dispute

In Western Capital City, some, like Zhang Xuezhou, had already gone abroad, while the Zhou Household siblings had inexplicable but serious thoughts, and there were also many who were filled with anxiety.

"Quickly, find all the available surveillance footage!"

"Zuo Jin, look what you've done!"

"Zuo Quan, don't gloat! Were you the one pulling the strings behind my back? Father just started to think highly of me, and you're already doing this!"

"How could I have done something underhanded? I know nothing about it, and I had no idea the old man entrusted you with these things!"

"It was definitely you who did this. Once I find that traitor, you won't be able to deny it!"

"You blame everything on me, I'm going to fucking spit on you!"

Zuo Jin with apprehension.

He only knew that he had lost the heavy item that Zuo Lianguang had given him, but he had no idea when, where, or why he had lost it.

The more he tried to remember, the less he could recall what had happened.

The battle for the Third Sequence was a good opportunity to gain an advantage, but he and Zuo Quan were locked in a fierce internal struggle, and he was also beaten up by Luo Hui, resulting in serious injuries. In the end, neither of them participated in the battle, and Zhu Shengnan took his place.

Of course, Zhu Shengnan was a little lacking in strength, and the winner of the Third Sequence was not the Scarlet Alliance State.

This also greatly angered many members of the Sequence Committee. Some angrily criticized Luo Hui, while others blamed the two Zuo Household brothers.

The conflict Zuo Jin and Zuo Quan subsided for some time, and the two thought they could work together from then on. However, the rifts that had formed between them were not so easy to mend.

What was supposed to be a collaborative effort between the two to resolve a problem turned into a brawl, leaving the Zuo Household's monitoring center in complete disarray.

Once Zuo Teng joined the battle, Zuo Denggao had no choice but to bite the bullet and join in as well.

"Someone's been killed! Someone's been killed! You blind fools, get someone back!"

Zuo Jin shouted repeatedly.

He used to be on par with Zuo Quan in terms of strength, and they could even fight each other head-on.

But once Zuo Teng entered the sequence, and even easily won the First Sequence competition, and then his sequence strength increased significantly, Zuo Teng also gained the ability to intervene in the competition.

Zuo Quan's son was capable of calculations, Zuo Jin's son Zuo Denggao, was unable to get involved.

Seeing Zuo Denggao kicked away by Zuo Teng and then joined forces with Zuo Quan to deal with him, Zuo Jin couldn't help but cry out for help after taking two blows.

Only when the two sides are evenly matched can they fight each other. Once this balance is broken by the younger generation, Zuo Jin feels that he is doomed.

Based on the torment Zuo Teng had suffered in the past, Zuo Jin felt that if this kid made a desperate decision, he might very well be defeated by a doubles brace today.

Very few people can intervene in the battle; firstly, they need to be qualified, and secondly, they need to have the strength.

If Zuo Jin's wife dared to rush in and bare her claws, she would be sent flying without hesitation by Zuo Teng, who was watching her intently from the side.

Those from distant relatives and collateral branches wouldn't dare to get involved Zuo Jin the conflict; they'd either incur the wrath of Zuo Jin or Zuo Quan, and offending either of them was unacceptable.

The conflict within the Zuo Household erupted amidst heated words and then continued in a strange and unsettling manner.

It wasn't until Zuo Jin's wife made several calls for help that the fight, which had almost escalated into a vicious conflict, finally came to an end nearly half an hour later.

"You just wait, you surnamed Zuo, I'll never forgive you!" Zuo Jin cursed after suffering a loss.

"Forget about later, since both members of the Chang Kong family are here, and Zhu Liangping and Li Biming can act as witnesses, let's go up on stage now and decide this life or death!" Zuo Quan shouted.

Zuo Quan didn't wait for later. Zuo Jin was injured at this moment, and Zuo Quan felt that if he went all out now, he could still survive. Having calculated it clearly in his mind, Zuo Quan wished he could immediately find a formal platform to fight to the death.

Ordinary families might fight tooth and nail over a few tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets, so wealthy and powerful families are even less willing to let go of their power and wealth, and they would fight to the death to stop it.

Zuo Quan and Zuo Jin are not isolated cases; rather, such cases are countless.

"It's better to end this fight today than to keep fighting endlessly," Zuo Teng sneered.

"You little beast, you have no right to speak here!" Zuo Jin cursed. "I only regret that I was too soft-hearted back then, which is why you grew up to be a human being!"

"Deng Gao, listen carefully now. I don't hold back when I strike, and sometimes I might not be able to stop myself. You'll have to take responsibility if anything happens!"

Zuo Teng did not respond to Zuo Jin's words, nor was he angry at Zuo Jin's cursing. He only spoke coldly to Zuo Denggao, who was still rubbing his stomach.

If there is no possibility of a peaceful resolution, the victor in a power struggle usually leaves no room for the opponent to turn the tide.

Zuo Quan was determined to fight Zuo Jin the death, while Zuo Teng had clearly set his sights on Zuo Denggao, preparing to go all the way and bring this family feud to a complete close.

The Lineage's resources are limited, and much of them are invested in the Zuo family. Other cousins, uncles, and aunts can't make a difference. On the contrary, these people need to depend on the Zuo Household and will obey the orders of the victor.

After two or three generations of dilution, these people will be even less qualified to inherit the Zuo Household's legacy and will not pose a threat to Zuo Teng and others.

If we exclude Zuo Jin, the only thing that could cause trouble for Zuo Teng in the future is Zuo Denggao.

Zuo Teng stretched out his arms and legs, and gave Zuo Denggao a cold, sneer.

"Zuo Teng, don't think you can get cocky just because you're ahead in the rankings. If you piss me off, I'll blow your whole family to smithereens!" Zuo Denggao retorted fiercely. "Even if I can't beat you, I can still drag you down with me!"

"Go ahead and blast me if you dare," Zuo Teng sneered. "If you don't kill me, don't blame me for being stronger when you die."

"Then you just wait!"

A dangerous glint flashed in Zuo Denggao's eyes.

He touched the stun gun he was using for self-defense, then looked at Zuo Teng and right gloves, before slowly taking a few steps forward.

"Young people shouldn't be so hot-tempered; making yourself a target is not a wise move!"

As Zuo Denggao approached Zuo Quan a few steps and reached for his waist, Chang Kong Yinglian immediately pressed down on his right hand.

"I didn't realize you had such a knack for modifying firearms!"

Chang Kong Yinglian reached out and grabbed a remote control with a circuit board attached.

She glanced at it, and Li Biming cursed under his breath again.

When Li Biming opened the window of the monitoring center and looked out, he saw a black cannon barrel aimed at them from over a hundred meters away.

This was probably a powerful weapon prepared for Zuo Lianguang in his later years, but at some point, Zuo Denggao changed its purpose and even added simple mechanical devices to facilitate operation and aiming.

"No one can stand the way your Zuo Household is going to continue like this," Zhu Liangping said. "If you insist on fighting to the death, I'm willing to go to the old mansion of the Zuo family and ask if he's willing to withdraw from the center of Western Capital City. That would save us a lot of trouble."

"To be honest, without Old Master Zuo, the Zuo Household would have no right to stand in Western Capital City," Chang Kongyinghao said, frowning.

"But our committee agreed that there would be a ten-year grace period after the succession, and you can't go back on your word," Zuo Quan said urgently.

"What can you do in ten years?" Chang Kong Yinglian said. "Can ten years allow you to enter the Sixth Sequence? Or can it allow Zuo Teng and Zuo Denggao to enter the Sixth Sequence? If you continue to fight amongst yourselves like this, I don't think your Zuo Household will even produce a Fourth Sequence!"

"Since you've accomplished nothing in these ten years, you might as well break up sooner rather than later. That way, you can save each other's lives," Li Biming advised.

"We don't want to break up. Give us ten years to try!"

After the left-hand quick attack, comes the Zuo Jin quick attack.

The internal strife within the Zuo Household stemmed from wealth and power; if everything were taken away, what reason would they have to fight?

If Zuo Lianguang had passed away at his mansion in his later years, the Zuo Household would indeed have had a difficult time establishing themselves in Western Capital City.

If the members of the Sequence Committee reach a consensus, there is a possibility that the Zuo Household could be removed from Western Capital City.

"Give me the power of the Zuo Household, and I will reach the Sixth Sequence within ten years," Zuo Teng declared fiercely. "If I cannot secure my position in the Sixth Sequence within ten years, everything the Zuo Household owns will be confiscated!"

"I will definitely reach the Sixth Sequence within ten years," Zuo Denggao Qi Ingestion defiantly. "If I fail, the entire Zuo Household's funds will be confiscated!"

"Zuo Jin, Zuo Quan, what do you two say?" Chang Kong Yinghao asked.

"I agree," Zuo Jin snorted.

I agree!

Zuo Quan nodded repeatedly.

If they don't agree now, they'll most likely be going through the process of breaking up; if they agree, they can delay it for another ten years. It's a very simple choice for adults to make this kind of decision.

But things have inevitably escalated to the point where a resolution must be reached today.
