Chapter 858: Joining Forces Against the Zhang Family
Patriarch Song at this moment dared not hesitate at all, after all, it concerned the life and death of the Song Family, leaving him no room for carelessness.
"Housekeeper, immediately notify the four patriarchs in the name of the Song Family to come and visit tonight."
"We need to collectively discuss countermeasures against the Zhang Family."
Patriarch Song softly commanded.
"Yes, Patriarch." Housekeeper Song responded.
That night, Patriarch Xue, Patriarch Hu, Patriarch Fang, and Patriarch Fan, all gathered at the Song Family.
"Patriarch Song, what exactly is going on?"
"Out of nowhere, why has the Zhang Family suddenly decided to attack the Song Family?"
The four inquired about this as soon as they arrived.
Sigh!
Patriarch Song sighed lightly, "The cause of the incident was my son, Song Yang, having a conflict with Chen Xuan."
"Then the Zhang Family acted against my Song Family! But this is not the fundamental reason. The ultimate reason is the Zhang Family's overly inflated ambition."
"Claiming to avenge Chen Xuan and dealing with the Song Family is just a pretense."
Patriarch Xue nodded slightly, "I feel the same way. When we initially teamed up to suppress the Zhang Family, Patriarch Zhang must have held a grudge."
"Nowadays, the strength of the Zhang Family has skyrocketed, and they have taken advantage of the opportunity, leaping into the ranks of second-tier families."
Patriarch Hu expressed some anger, "Who knows what kind of luck the Zhang Family had to establish a relationship with the Luo Family and completely wipe out the Xu Family, gaining a lot of benefits."
Patriarch Fang snorted lightly, "There is nothing to think about, it was not about the Zhang Family getting along with the Luo Family, but simply about the Zhang Family's good fortune."
"Initially, the Xu Family just wanted to destroy the Zhang Family, but unexpectedly, the Luo Family suddenly got involved and attacked the Xu Family. Then the Zheng Family, Zhu Family, Chang Family, and Zhao Family, four second-tier families united against the Xu Family; surely the Luo Family contacted them."
"Ultimately leading to the destruction of the Xu Family, while the Luo Family and those four second-tier families gained considerable benefits, and naturally, the Zhang Family benefited too."
Patriarch Fan sighed lightly, "Yes, the Zhang Family just had good timing."
"Indirectly helping the Zhang Family to enter the ranks of second-tier families, their strength now surpasses our few families."
Patriarch Song waved slightly, "Four patriarchs, now is not the time to discuss this, talking about it now is meaningless."
"Although the Zhang Family has stepped into the ranks of second-tier families, their foundation is unstable, and among second-tier families, they are just barely hanging on."
"Of course, as a single family, we indeed cannot oppose the Zhang Family. But only if our five families unite, the Zhang Family is still no match for us!"
The four patriarchs nodded slightly. The logic was correct, but now the Zhang Family was attacking the Song Family, which had no direct relationship with their four families.
Tonight, Patriarch Song's intention was clear – he wanted to drag them all into the water, to fight against the Zhang Family together, taking the opportunity to save the Song Family.
They were no fools; they would not help without cause and bring trouble upon themselves.
Patriarch Song saw through their intentions, and softly said, "Everyone, you must recognize the reality!"
"Right now, our situation is closely interconnected! Don't think that the Zhang Family only acted against my Song Family, and has nothing to do with your four families."
"Once the Song Family is destroyed, the next will be one of your four families! The Zhang Family's ambition has long been evident, intending to annex us and enhance their own strength."
"In such a situation, if we do not band together to stay warm and face the Zhang Family together, in the end, we can only watch helplessly as the Zhang Family breaks us one by one, leading to our destruction."
The four patriarchs pondered for a moment, not immediately providing a response.
Patriarch Xue spoke softly, "Patriarch Song, although what you said might happen, right now the Zhang Family has not had a conflict with us."
"We cannot declare war on the Zhang Family without reason! There must be some justification, or rather... what benefits can we gain?"
Patriarch Song smiled coldly to himself, understanding what they wanted, they were all ones who would not act without profit.
"How about this, as long as you help me deal with the Zhang Family, with our five families working together, it shouldn't be difficult to eliminate the Zhang Family."
"By then, my Song Family will just take the Zhang Family's core technology materials, and the rest of the industry will be split evenly among you, how about that?"
Patriarch Xue showed a satisfied smile, "Hmm, this seems fair and reasonable, I find it agreeable."
"What do you patriarchs think?"
"Agreed, let's do it that way." The other three patriarchs also expressed their agreement.
Patriarch Song breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, then tonight our five families are formally allied!"
"Let's unite to fight against the Zhang Family! The final victory will surely belong to us!"
