The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 723

Chapter 723: 592 A grand spectacle of both falling off their horses [2 more updates]

Two words, calm and indifferent, as if he were going to have a cup of tea, not wipe out an O continent ancient financial consortium.

Watching those cannons turn into slag, how could the Elders Council not be shocked, yet how could they possibly fail to react?

This was an ancient martial artist!

Moreover, it wasn’t an ordinary one, he was definitely above an Ancient Martial Grandmaster.

The Pazzi Family had also suspected that Devil was an ancient martial artist; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to kill an elder so effortlessly.

Because when they examined the elder’s injuries afterward, they found his heart meridian severed, yet there were no wounds on the surface.

Apart from some kind of laser weapon, only an ancient martial artist could accomplish that.

Therefore, the Pazzi Family had purchased even higher-level weapons, specifically to guard against ancient martial artists.

The cannon fired earlier was definitely capable of killing an Ancient Martial Grandmaster.

How could this be?

Could there possibly be even more powerful ancient martial artists above the level of an Ancient Martial Grandmaster?

How do we fight this?!

The Great Elder stepped back and commanded harshly, "Increase the firepower!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A hail of bullets rained down, unable to harm Fu Yunshen in the slightest, who had inner strength protecting his body.

He didn’t even enter through the door; using his inner strength, stepping on bricks, he leapt up from the castle’s exterior, over a hundred meters high.

At that moment, the Elders Council finally panicked completely.

Watching the man draw ever closer, the Great Elder became unsteady and collapsed to the ground.

"Shh, don’t be so afraid," Fu Yunshen chuckled lowly, "I still need your old self to show me the way."

He casually turned his head, his hand merely waving.

Inner strength from a distance, he directly sealed the acupoints of the other six elders, rendering them unable to move an inch.

The Great Elder’s face turned deathly pale, hoisted up by Fu Yunshen with one hand, and forced to walk into the castle.

As the head of the O continent’s Four Great Financial Groups, the Pazzi Family’s castle, naturally, was enormous, akin to a small city with a population of two to three hundred thousand.

Disturbances from the outer perimeter of the castle did not affect the interior in the least.

After all, the Pazzi Family’s castle was situated in a border area, where the sound of gunfire was an everyday occurrence.

If it were quiet one day, the Pazzi Family would actually find that odd.

Moreover, with the Elders Council and so many firearms, who could actually conquer the Pazzi Family?

But just because the core members of the direct lineage within the castle weren’t affected didn’t mean other powers surveilling the Pazzi Family couldn’t see what was happening.

Almost the moment the Great Elder ordered all firearms aimed at Fu Yunshen, the Lorentz Family received the news.

This message was delivered directly to Xize.

"Tsk, Devil’s really gone mad, could it be..." Xize’s ice blue eyes narrowed, "Did he really take a wife?"

He, the celebrated head of the Lorentz Family, prominent in many histories.

And yet, still a bachelor.

Is this fair?

Job: "..."

Is this really the point of focus?

Speaking with discretion, Job asked, "Master, what should we do?"

"Just watch for now. However, the mercenary troops can be deployed," Xize stroked his chin, "The boss said he would contact me tonight, said he’s sending me a gift. Job, guess what the boss will give me..."

Xize’s words were interrupted when suddenly he realized something.

His expression changed dramatically, "No good, the boss has gone to the Pazzi Family by himself!"

Hearing this, Job too was shocked, "By himself?"

To speak frankly, not even the Great Elder of the Lorentz Family would dare to invade the Pazzi Family alone.

The Lorentz Family hadn’t directly clashed with the Pazzi Family partly because doing so would indeed come at a significant cost.

Xize immediately stood up, "All mercenary troops, move out."

He never imagined that the gift Ying Zijin said she’d give him was the Pazzi Family.

Job hesitated for a moment, "Master, under what pretext?"

The Four Great Financial Groups had kept a balance, and the other three would not just watch the Pazzi Family get swallowed up by the Lorentz Family.

The situation in O continent was too complicated, touching one part affected the whole.

This was also why the Lorentz Family had left the Pazzi Family alone until now.

"A pretext?" Xize glanced at him and clicked his tongue, "Just say that I, as a person, love money and want to snatch Devil’s bounty. Can’t let him do it alone, understand?"

Job: "..."

By the time Ying Zijin finished reading in the library, it was already 6:30 in the evening.

The dinner was to start at seven.

The servants hustled, still preparing the meal.

Riven had been waiting outside the library for a long time, and when he saw the girl coming out, he straightened his suit, "Miss Ying, right? The master sent me to take you to the banquet hall."

Seeing Ying Zijin was without guard, he didn’t hide his motives, and when he brought her to a secluded grove, he stopped.

Riven turned around, and his intent was clear.

He gestured impatiently, "Aren’t you coming over? I’m supposed to serve you, right?"

Ying Zijin tilted her head, her gaze cold, "You’d better not touch me."
