Chapter 510: Chapter 264: The Only Chance!_2
 

“In case the Gao Family and the Zhao Family have their heads messed up and allow someone from their families to form a contract with the offspring of the Soul Whale Princess, we might as well prepare in advance!”

“Least when it’s time to face the retaliation from the Soul Whale Princess, we’ll have the ability to respond!”

Li Yuanchao offered, upon hearing Chen Jing’s words.

“Let me contact the Gao Family and the Zhao Family!”

“Quite a few powerful figures from the Zhao Family and Gao Family are involved in the rescue work, I can directly get in touch with the family head of Gao Family, Gao Hongying, and the family head of Zhao Family, Zhao Junwei.”

The old man did not object but spoke instead.

“Yuanchao, in your negotiations with the Gao Family and Zhao Family, you must make clear the pros and cons and protect the safety of the spawn of the Soul Whale Princess.”

“Tell Gao Hongying and Zhao Junwei, as long as the spawn of the Soul Whale Princess is still alive, and Lu City managed to safely pass through this storm, Zhao Family and Gao Family can still exist in Lu City.”

“Otherwise, I will destroy the Zhao Family and Gao Family with my own hands!”

“Three major clans are enough for Lu City.”

Upon hearing these words, Li Yuanchao nodded heavily, realizing the importance of his mission.

Gao Hongying and Zhao Junwei were originally in good spirits.

Zhao Junwei had always wanted to sever ties with the Gao Family. Now, having cut off the last entanglement with the Gao Family and earning 1.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins, he was able to cover the loss occurred during the period when the Zhao Family was not able to hunt properly.

With the break away from the Gao Family, the Zhao Family can try to get closer to the She Family and He Family.

The businesses that the She Family and He Family operate are extremely beneficial to the development of the Zhao Family, and they also suit the style of cooperative partners better.

There were more reasons for Gao Hongying’s joy.

Firstly, the noble lady from Gao Family, Gao Wenyuan, established a connection with Jianmu, becoming someone close to Jianmu.

And Gao Wenyuan still followed his orders, willing to work hard for the benefit of Gao Family in front of Jianmu.

Secondly, he traded the divine beast he caught from the sea to Fang Mu, earning a massive fifty-five billion Dragon Rising Coins.

This significantly exceeded Gao Hongying’s original expectation.

The only disappointment for Gao Hongying was that he didn’t expect Fang Mu to have so much available cash.

Even with the fifty-five billion-dollar transaction, all the payments were made in Dragon Rising Coins without a single Grandmaster Creator resource taken out!

If the Gao Family wants to trade for Grandmaster Creator resources from Jianmu in the future, they can only rely on Gao Wenyuan!

However, before Gao Hongying and Zhao Junwei had time to rejoice for long, a sudden thunderbolt struck them square in the face.

Nor Gao Hongying or Zhao Junwei had ever thought that the divine beast they caught via the information from the Sea Clan was actually the spawn of the Soul Whale Princess — the National Guru of Han Yang Empire!

If they had known that the whale-typed divine beast was the spawn of the Soul Whale Princess, even if they had more guts they would not dare to hunt it.

In Lu City, the Gao Family and Zhao Family had already established an everlasting foundation. As long as they develop normally and steadily, even if one of the family heads of Gao Family and Zhao Family were foolish and incompetent.

As long as one talented individual appears among three generations of family heads, the foundation of the Gao Family and Zhao Family can be sustained.

After all, the number of side branches has increased, and the military strength of Gao Family and Zhao Family will only become stronger.

However, this kind of prosperity is not unshakeable.

The only possibility to break this prosperity is to encounter a situation as they had at hand.

Zhao Junwei, having cut off the connection with Gao Family, chose without hesitation to betray the Gao Family at this time.

He presented the agreement just signed with the Gao family directly to Li Yuanchao for review.

Zhao Junwei stated that the matter of marine hunting was completely manipulated by the Gao Family.

If it wasn’t so, the Zhao Family wouldn’t even be eligible to keep the spawn of the Soul Whale Princess.

However, the matter has already caused extremely serious consequences. Even if Zhao Family can peel off the blame cleanly, they will not be able to stay out of it.

But after Zhao Junwei told all these to Li Yuanchao, whatever happens, at least the Gao Family will be the first to bear it.

This will leave a breathing chance for the Zhao Family.

The Lu City officials will not let the Zhao Family disappear from Lu City because of their past mistakes.

This storm may cause the Zhao family to lay low for a hundred years.

However, as long as it could keep the position of one of the Lu Du Five Clans, everything would be worth it.

The happier Gao Hongying was earlier, the more regretful he became now.

Gao Hongying deeply regretted why he listened to the news from that member of the Sea Clan.

If he had not chosen to believe the Sea Clan and decided to hunt for more than twenty days at the time, the Gao family would not have fallen into the current dilemma.

What made Gao Hongying even more regretful was why he had traded the whale-typed divine beast they caught to Jianmu just two hours ago.

Can he really get back the things that have already been traded to Jianmu?

But even if he can’t get it back, he must. Otherwise, the Gao Family is done for!

In Gao Family’s hunting, that whale-typed divine beast was originally injured.

If it was still in the hands of Gao Family, they would have to own up to this.

But now that the divine beast has passed through the hands of Jianmu, everything becomes unclear.

The Gao Family can completely attribute the injury to Jianmu.

The Zhao Family also participated in this hunting, so they can’t shirk their responsibilities.

Zhao Junwei would definitely testify falsely for the Gao Family because framing Gao Family would also free Zhao Family from their responsibility.

Offending a Grandmaster Creator is better than the complete destruction of a family.

Hopefully, Jianmu has already formed a contract with the spawn of the Soul Whale Princess and would naturally share the rage of the Soul Whale Princess.

Gao Hongying asked Li Yuanchao to give him half an hour. With this half an hour, Gao Hongying immediately contacted Gao Wenyuan.
