Chapter 1714: Chapter 1714

The Hu family’s assets are about 40 billion, and after deducting liabilities, it’s around 30 billion. That’s quite a lot. The Li family’s original scale was only 15 billion.

The Hu family as the second family is genuine. Now suddenly an underbite appears, pointing at the Hu clan chief, saying he’s inadequate and his family lacks money. This is the biggest provocation, prompting the Hu clan chief to immediately stand up and glare at the underbite who was speaking.

Li Yifei also glanced at underbite, but before anyone spoke, that underbite pointed at the Ye family and said, "A mere two to three billion small family dares to rank third? Northern cities are really poor, huh, hehe, Old Song, you let these few rotten heads make you so embarrassed?"

The latter words, though addressed to Song Zude, still mocked the surrounding six families.

This stirred public anger, the underbite’s voice was loud; everyone around heard it clearly, and his words quickly spread, within seconds, almost everyone at the banquet knew. Many felt a common enemy, wondering where this ugly creature came from, saying hundreds of billions from the Hu family means nothing, then what does that make them? Some of these people might have tens of billions in net worth, possibly not even that, does that mean they’re going to be poverty-stricken?

Of course, more people felt the spectacle today was even bigger, and their attendance wasn’t wasted. Even if they couldn’t participate, witnessing it personally and later bragging about it could be great boasting capital, so the crowd unconsciously gathered, all closing in.

The Hu clan chief broadened his mouth with a sinister grin, looking at the underbite maliciously. It’s group mockery once he opened his mouth; it’s inevitable for this guy to be unlucky. Now, people began to seriously scrutinize the underbite. This person truly was ugly, about forty years old, based at least on his facial appearance, his age couldn’t be lower than forty. Besides twisted teeth, his facial features were quite improperly aligned. Although not crooked mouth and slanted eyes, he was indeed ugly.

Besides Wang Chunlai initially cursing Song Zude as Old Song Dog, this was the second time the clan chiefs were provoked tonight. Wang Chunlai’s expression was solemn, his brows raised as he looked at Song Zude and said, "Song Zude, are you done with this?"

Song Zude didn’t show fear, pressed down underbite with his hand, then said, "I’m here today mainly to contest the ranking. The Song Family is indeed no good now, but if you intend to suppress us, it’s not going to happen. The Song Family, even weak, isn’t something you can bully."

"Pah!" Wang Chunlai spat, almost hitting Song Zude, followed by a mocking remark, "Old Song Dog, how come I never knew you were so shameless?"

Song Zude sneered and said, "Wang Chunlai, does it feel good being a dog?"

"I think someone has indeed turned into a dog, a mad dog that bites," Wang Chunlai retorted without backing down.

Underbite pounded the table several times with a skewer in hand and said, "Old Song, what’s the use arguing with such small people, let him shout if he wants to."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunlai’s presence flickered, his fist clenched, seemingly wanting to teach this reckless ugly brat a lesson, but then heard the opposite party say, "Old man, it’s still better not to show off those moves; it won’t work on me. Why not live a few more years?"

"You!" Wang Chunlai, the only one amongst the original eight clan chiefs that knows martial arts, despite his age, is still physically fit and robust. Now provoked by the opponent, he couldn’t hold back, intending to rush up to fight underbite.

Underbite flicked his wrist, and the skewer he was holding flew out, targeting the already enraged Wang Chunlai.

Wang Chunlai didn’t expect the opponent to actually make a move, furious, but he couldn’t dodge in time; the skewer was too fast, and they were too close. Even if Wang Chunlai saw it, he couldn’t avoid it.

Wang Chunlai was shocked in his heart. The opponent’s skewer was actually aimed at his body, underbite wasn’t bluffing but genuinely intending harm.

After throwing the skewer, underbite knew the outcome, so he smiled, not even looking at Wang Chunlai, but rummaging through a pile of plates for food, thinking about which piece of meat to choose.

"Ding!" A light sound rang in front of Wang Chunlai. The skewer thrown by underbite, at extreme speed, was suddenly hit away by something, altering its direction, embedding into a nearby tree, while the object that struck it was also a skewer, albeit wooden, which now fell on the table.

Wang Chunlai felt relieved, secretly exhaling heavily. He wasn’t afraid of injury, but being hurt by underbite in this situation would be a loss of face. The crucial thing is, could he regain this face?

Wang Chunlai saw it was Li Yifei who made the move. As the skewer flew, Li Yifei lifted his eyelids slightly, flicked his wrist, and the wooden skewer followed from the side, deflecting underbite’s skewer. Though it sounded easy, Li Yifei managing to hit away that skewer was very difficult. Fortunately, he was Li Yifei, ensuring Wang Chunlai’s safety.

Underbite suddenly stood up, eyes locking onto Li Yifei. He saw that Li Yifei knocked away the skewer meant to discipline Wang Chunlai, so his face showed anger, glaring at Li Yifei and saying, "Li Yifei, are you ready to go against me?"

Li Yifei, who hadn’t spoken much, seemed to only now see underbite, meeting his gaze, Li Yifei slowly said, "Who are you? worthy of my opposition?"

Speaking of arrogance, Li Yifei had hardly ever lacked any since retiring, not fearing another’s hidden identity, even if they were a big figure.

Song Zude also stood up, slightly angrily shouting, "Li Yifei, you’re too much. This is Second Master Zhao of Zhao Family, you dare speak to him like that?"

Zhao Family? Which Zhao Family? Everyone’s minds pondered but couldn’t figure out who exactly this Zhao Family was. Nationwide, over thirty provinces and autonomous regions, countless big families, even more innumerable small families, there’re simply too many with the surname Zhao, said one wouldn’t know.

There are Zhao families within the province, but none of them decent, not even those with tens of billions of wealth could be so arrogant, unless Song Zude lost his mind, to cause trouble with a small Zhao family. Official source ıs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥

Therefore, this Second Master Zhao seems to be someone, though he just looks a bit ugly.

Upon hearing Song Zude reveal his identity, Second Master Zhao’s face showed a proud expression, seemingly instantly feeling proud of his family.
