Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Richest Man Banquet

One week later, Imperial Citys top private club - Royal Number One, was hosting a grand banquet. The host of this banquet was the Imperial Citys new richest person - Xiao Tianci. At the banquet venue, people in fancy dress with wine flowing freely. All kinds of celebrities gathered - business moguls, martial arts masters, political figures... almost every prestigious figure in the Imperial Capital was present. They gathered in groups discussing the same topic: Xiao Tianci. "I heard he became the richest person in less than a year..." "Not just the richest, do you know? He is also the behind-the-scenes boss of Shadow Palace!" "Really? Is not Shadow Palace the underground world hegemon of the Imperial Capital?" "Hush, speak quietly! His background is deep and unfathomable, those who offended him have all disappeared..." Xiao Tianci held a glass of wine, standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the night view of the Imperial Capital. Behind him, Su Qing was reporting work: "Mr. Xiao, the Four Great Families industries have all been acquired by us. The Wang family has left the Imperial Capital, Lin family assets have all been transferred to our name. The Zhang and Liu families are packing, expected to leave within three days." Xiao Tianci nodded: "Very well. However, this is not enough." Su Qing was confused: "Mr. Xiao, your meaning is...?" Xiao Tianci turned around, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "What the Four Great Families did to the Xiao family back then cannot end just like this. Their leaving the Imperial Capital is just the beginning. Next, I will make them unable to survive anywhere in the empire." He drained his glass in one gulp: "Issue my order, comprehensively block all Four Great Families industries. Any merchants with cooperative relations with them, all cut ties. Let us see, without Imperial Capital industries, how long they can hold on." Su Qing left with the order. Xiao Tianci turned to the window again, looking at the Imperial Citys万家灯火, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "This is just the beginning."
