322: Chapter 317 Achieved 322: Chapter 317 Achieved For Wang Yi, as the Clan Leader of the Wang Family, he had to keep the entire family firmly within his grasp.
Although Wang Yuetao’s actions had previously displeased him, they hadn’t crossed his bottom line.
Therefore, he had preserved Wang Yuetao for the sake of the greater good.
But now, Wang Yuetao had stopped caring about the whole Wang Family and was trying to manipulate the family to serve his own interests, which finally crossed Wang Yi’s bottom line.
“I have my own ways of handling things, which you don’t need to know about.
You just need to trust me that right now, Wang Yuetao is a common enemy to both you and me.”
Wang Yi’s brow furrowed slightly as he constantly analyzed the potential consequences of his actions.
Having controlled the major family clan for so many years, he naturally had his own methods.
He looked at Ye Tian in front of him and said, “Before long, you will get what you want.”
For Wang Yi, offending Ye Tian was not a wise choice at the moment; after all, there was no one within the entire Wang Family who could stand against Ye Tian’s strength.
Even if he could bluff Ye Tian with his own power for the time being, if Ye Tian insisted on taking Wang Yuetao away now, it would be difficult to stop him.
And injuring the foundation of the Wang Family for the sake of Wang Yuetao was simply not worth it for him.
“You wouldn’t want to remain on the police’s wanted list either, would you?
A normal life is also important to you, isn’t it?”
This was also Ye Tian’s Achilles’ heel.
He didn’t want to hide in the shadows forever.
Although Wang Ke’er was a police officer and knew that all this was Wang Yuetao’s doing, if he let Wang Yuetao go so easily, it wouldn’t be so simple to resolve the issue.
And it was precisely this that Wang Yi had noticed.
Ye Tian didn’t yet want to become a fugitive hunted down like a street-crossing rat.
“Alright, I hope you keep your word, otherwise, no matter what it costs, I will come directly to the Wang Family and kill Wang Yuetao myself.”
That was Ye Tian’s threat, which he stated bluntly, not caring in the least for Wang Yi’s status as Clan Leader of the Wang Family.
Having already destroyed two of the four major families in Jiangcheng, he wouldn’t mind adding the Wang Family to his list.
Upon hearing the threat, Wang Yi’s expression soured slightly, but he still managed to nod reluctantly.
Having been seasoned by many years and the trials of time, his skin had grown thicker than that of a child long ago.
Through countless storms over the years, rising from an ordinary member to the leader of such a great family clan, how could he not have his own cunning?
“Wang Yuetao will definitely die, which is also my goal.”
Watching Ye Tian turn and walk away, a hint of hatred flashed across Wang Yi’s face.
However, this hatred was not directed towards Ye Tian, but towards Wang Yuetao.
All these years, he had been too lenient towards some people in the Wang Family, making them forget what had elevated him to the position of Clan Leader in the first place.
Meanwhile, Wang Yuetao, who was in the living room outside, saw Ye Tian walking out and furrowed his brow slightly.
Seeing Ye Tian’s expression, he slowly stood up, scrutinizing Ye Tian with his gaze.
Ye Tian slowly approached, and Wang Yuetao, retreating a few steps, looked at Ye Tian with a dark and threatening gaze.
Looking at Wang Yuetao in front of him, Ye Tian moved his lips slightly and said, “Your head can stay on your shoulders for now.
Rest assured, it won’t be long before I come to take it.”
Hearing this, Wang Yuetao’s face turned even more grim, and he said, “Ye Tian, don’t be too arrogant.
Don’t forget where you are; this is the Wang Family.
We have the people of the Wang Family here.
If I wish it, you won’t be able to leave this place alive.”
The people of the Wang Family present, hearing Wang Yuetao’s words, immediately stepped forward, ready to make their move.
The Hungry Wolf, seeing their actions, also stepped forward to shield Ye Tian.
Although Ye Tian knew that these people in front of him couldn’t harm him, the Hungry Wolf’s gesture still scored points in Ye Tian’s heart.
“Ye Tian, where’s our Clan Leader?
I’ll tell you, this is the Wang Family.
If you’ve hurt our Clan Leader, you won’t take a single step out of here.” As he spoke, Wang Yuetao looked in the direction from which Ye Tian had come.
“Go see how the Clan Leader is, if this kid dared to harm our Clan Leader, we absolutely can’t let him go.”
Issuing commands left and right, Wang Yuetao inwardly hoped even more that Wang Yi would be injured or killed by Ye Tian, which would then allow him to take over the entire Wang Family’s power to use against Ye Tian.
“Wang Yuetao, don’t forget that I am the Clan Leader of the Wang Family.
Since when it is your turn to give orders when I am present?” Wang Yi’s voice came from behind.
His face shadowed, he walked out.
If he had held any hope for Wang Yuetao before, now he was thoroughly disappointed.
“Ye Tian, you may leave now.
I will keep my promise; the Wang Family will not trouble you from here on out.”
Upon hearing Wang Yi’s words, Wang Yuetao’s expression turned unsightly in an instant; what he wanted was certainly not just that.
Although his safety was temporarily guaranteed, this was far from achieving his goal.
“Clan Leader, did the people of the Wang Family die in vain?” As he spoke, he cast a gloomy look at Wang Yi.
It was evident that he had indeed fought with Ye Tian before, and it was quite possible that he had emerged victorious.
Even if he hadn’t won, he must have at least intimidated Ye Tian, and obviously, he had reached some sort of tacit agreement with him.
“Don’t forget, the zombie is an epic Assassin at your command.”
He deliberately pointed this out, not only to remind Wang Yi of the great losses Ye Tian had caused them, but also to remind Ye Tian of the trouble the zombie, coming from Wang Yi, had brought upon him.
“That’s not for you to worry about; I have my plans,” Wang Yi said, even more resolved in his decision after Wang Yuetao’s words, sizing up Ye Tian again, “What I promised you I will certainly do.
After all, I am the head of the Wang Family, and I can at least be counted on to keep my word.”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Tian also chose to trust him for the time being.
After all, Wang Yuetao was right there with the Wang Family; if he desired, he could take Wang Yuetao’s life with ease.
Since dealing with him, Ye Tian had also come to understand that Wang Yuetao would never abandon the glory and riches of the Wang Family to flee.
Thus, he needn’t worry that Wang Yuetao would run off somewhere.
“I too hope to see your sincerity soon,” Ye Tian said, his gaze lingering on Wang Yuetao, then glancing at Wang Yi before turning to leave the place.
The hungry wolf took a couple of looks at the people of the Wang Family, then left with a displeased expression.
“Clan Leader, may I know exactly what promise you made to Ye Tian?” Wang Yuetao’s face darkened as he watched Ye Tian’s departing figure.
He felt like he must have missed something important.
Always prone to suspicion, even though he had found Wang Yi, he couldn’t possibly trust his life entirely to Wang Yi.
“Now that Ye Tian and our Wang Family are irreconcilable, I fear he won’t let things rest so easily.”
“Since when do I have to report my actions to you?” Wang Yi’s eyes surveyed Wang Yuetao up and down, and the grim look made it clear to Wang Yuetao that he’d overstepped boundaries, “Just mind yourself.
I used the family’s power to suppress this matter for you, so you no longer have to fear for your life.
Go back, and in the future, don’t expect to use the family’s power to wipe your ass anymore.”
His words were somewhat stiff, clearly leaving no face for Wang Yuetao.
This stiffness also caused Wang Yuetao’s expression to sour slightly.
After all, he was an elder of the family, and, in terms of seniority, he was not inferior to Wang Yi.
Moreover, he also wielded considerable power within the family.
Although Wang Yi had never treated him with outright respect, there had always been a degree of wariness, but now it was gone.
“Clan Leader, naturally you don’t need to report to me, but don’t you think that hoping to resolve the grudge with Ye Tian now is a bit too naive?”
“I have already spoken plainly: Ye Tian and the Wang Family are at a point of no return.
Although I do not know what agreement you reached with him, one thing is certain—he will certainly not spare our family.” He wasn’t one to keep his thoughts to himself.
Seeing Wang Yi’s performance, he understood that Wang Yi was unlikely to use the family’s power to confront Ye Tian directly.
However, he wanted to make his stance clear, “For the sake of the family, I hope you, Clan Leader, can recall the family’s forces sooner and deal with Ye Tian once and for all.
I hope you haven’t been deceived by a few words from that kid.”
He knew in his heart that Ye Tian would absolutely not let him off the hook, especially since he’d sent people to capture Ye Tian’s woman, sealing their fates from that moment on.
Now Ye Tian was still at large, and although Wang Yi said an agreement had been reached, how could he entrust his life to Ye Tian’s mercy?
Therefore, reducing Ye Tian to nothing was paramount, no matter what.
“Wang Yuetao”
Wang Yi abruptly stood up, his gaze fixed on Wang Yuetao before him, “In the past, how did I never notice that your ambition was so great?
Is it you who makes the decisions in this family, not me?”
At these words, the people of the Wang Family by their side were slightly shaken.
Clearly, Wang Yi was genuinely angry.
In the Wang Family, the Clan Leader held absolute authority, and Wang Yi’s iron and fearsome nature had truly come to be known among the Wang Family members throughout the years.
His authority surpassed that of previous Wang Family Clan Leaders.
Now, his words showed that he was truly provoked by Wang Yuetao’s behavior.
“Clan Leader, what are you saying?
Naturally, you are the Clan Leader.
I, Wang Yuetao, am merely a minor member of the family; there’s no need to take my words into account,” Wang Yuetao replied.
Wang Yuetao wasn’t a pushover, having also lived under Wang Yi’s intimidation for many years, which might have been more effective on ordinary family members but posed little threat to him.
“Since you’ve made your decision, I will naturally obey,” he said.
Even as he spoke, it was clear that he had no intention of giving up so easily; over the years, he had also built up his own set of capabilities.
“You may leave,” Wang Yi waved his hand, reluctant to exchange more words with Wang Yuetao.
In this family, since when had his words as Clan Leader been met with such defiance?
In his heart, he had already condemned Wang Yuetao to death.
Confronted with Wang Yi, Wang Yuetao was convinced that anything he said would be pointless.
He simply nodded, leading his confidants out.
These two were his trusted aides, altered by drugs to be extremely loyal to him.
