Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 18

Sun Mingxuan was full of enthusiasm as he gazed at Zhou Lie’s family of three. He then said vaguely with some underlying meanings, “Yingying, father and mother, you need to know that within Jiangling, there are countless people who have a net worth of tens or hundreds of millions. However, there is only one for the third-in-command in Jiangling, and the person is my eldest uncle of the Sun family!”

Sun Mingxuan grabbed Zhou Ying by her supple waist as though he was bragging that he had gained her some face as her man.

Zhou Lie pursed his lips in disregard, meanwhile, Zhou Ying’s eyes lit up, and her face finally started glowing again as she thought, That’s right, in this era, wealth is nothing compared to influence and authority! Even Shen Wanqian of the Ming Dynasty, who was so wealthy that he was capable of going to war with another country, had to submit and surrender all his wealth to those with power and authority without objection in the end. Compared to the present influence that the Sun family held, what could the wealth Chu Feng had possibly amount to? Furthermore, with enough influence and authority, do we even need to worry about money? The wealthy and the affluent, they will naturally send money over obediently to those in power!

Zhou Yin’s complexion became ruddy and she once again regained some of her confidence. She asked excitedly, "Mingxuan, since the eldest uncle is now in a high position, is it possible to capture Ma Sanyuan from the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas and reclaim our title deeds?"

At the banquet earlier, once they heard about news that the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas would forcibly occupy Zhou Lie’s land, Chu Feng this good-for-nothing didn’t even dare to utter a single word of disagreement!

If her man could stand out to settle this matter, then she could definitely gain the upper hand on Chu Feng, then she would finally be able to hold her head up high and get back at him, to get her revenge once and for all!

“This...” Sun Mingxuan looked over and said. “Yingying, I have sent a letter to our eldest uncle, and he has taken some measures to warn Ma Sanyuan and the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas. There should be some good news soon with regards to our title deeds. These matters cannot be rushed.”

Sun Mingxuan was actually being ambiguous; as a matter of fact, he had barely mentioned anything to his eldest uncle regarding the matter of the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas seizing the Zhou family’s title deeds.

His eldest uncle didn’t take any actions, thus it was actually still in suspension. However, even if his eldest uncle took action, Ma Sanyuan from the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas may not necessarily do his eldest uncle any courtesy at all. There were still these two matters to consider. After all, Ma Sanyuan has been in Jiangling for about twenty odd years, so his family had influence and his reach was far; even the mayor had to show him some respect.

“Mingxuan, will the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas really return the title deeds to us? That would be really great.” Liu Minglan was overwhelmed with excitement. She was always worried that Chu Feng would do something rash, going to the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas to avenge Zhou Lie. If this could be avoided, it would definitely ease one of the matters plaguing her heart.

Zhou Lie’s sharp gaze swept over a flustered Sun Mingxuan, and said coldly, “It doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t put too much hope just based on his meager abilities. Do you seriously think that he’s not going to soil himself upon meeting Ma Sanyuan? And you’re expecting him to get things done? Laughable indeed.”

Zhou Ying stomped her feet in indignity. “Father, how could you say something like this to Mingxuan.”

“Father, you are underestimating me!” Sun Mingxuan was originally in high spirits, but he got angry once he heard Zhou Lie’s sarcastic comments. He patted his own chest smugly as though he was on top of the world, as he boasted, “I’ll leave my words here today! I will not only make the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas return our title deeds, but will also make Ma Sanyuan visit us personally, kneel down and apologise to you! Do you believe me?!”

Sun Mingxuan’s face flushed red as he continued to shout, “Ma Sanyuan, nonsense! Isn’t he just a thug! The third-in-command of the city belongs to my Sun family, do we need to fear him? If he runs into me, he can only beg for mercy and call me his grandpa!”

Zhou Ying stared at him in admiration.

At this moment, three consecutive banging noises could be heard from the Zhou family’s main door, followed by a deep voice that said, “Excuse me, is this the Zhou Lie’s residence? It is me, Ma Sanyuan of the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas. I have come for a visit!”

The few people standing there were completely stunned.

Boom!
