The night was dense.
Lights flooded the Jiang Family's villa in Wuzhou.
A procession of luxurious cars entered the parking lot of the Jiang Family's villa.
Old Master Zheng, Zheng Hongyuan, stepped out of his car and greeted the other family heads.
This ti, besides his youngest son Zheng Wenmao, his eldest son Zheng Xiangming was also present.
"Dad, why is the Jiang family holding a gathering so late? What's really going on?" Zheng Wenmao asked in a low voice.
Zheng Hongyuan shook his head, "All the major families are here, it looks like the Jiang family is gearing up for a big move. Let's watch and see."
Shortly after the Zheng family entered the villa,
Family Head of the Qian Family, Qian Rongwen, and his son Qian Gaoliang also arrived. The crowd made their way to the hall.
Inside the villa's hall, tables were set up.
Atop each table sat a large pot of greens. Jiang Hainian smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlen, it is late, and this gathering was called hastily. I suppose you must be wondering why. Please, sit and taste the greens on the tables first."
Those from the major families were simultaneously struck by a look of confusion upon hearing this.
The Jiang family invited them to eat greens? What in the world was the Jiang family up to?
However, being an overlord-level family in Wuzhou, Qian Rongwen and Zheng Hongyuan, along with other family heads, all took their seats.
Then, they began to eat, and the mont the greens touched their palates, everyone's eyes widened in astonishnt. The flavor was simply splendid.
Watching everyone continuously pile greens into their mouths, Jiang Hainian felt very satisfied. "Everyone, my Jiang family has always advocated for the mutual developnt and advancent of Wuzhou's major families. Right now, there is an opportunity before us, I will let Three explain the specifics."
Xie Yuansan faced the family heads of the major clans and, not daring to be negligent, repeated everything he knew.
As those present learned of the effects of the Immortal Flavor Liquid, many showed a greedy gleam in their eyes.
"Ahem!"
After Xie Yuansan finished explaining, Jiang Hainian coughed, drawing everyone's attention back. He said, "Three didn't exaggerate at all, I've had people cook various dishes using this seasoning."
"With this seasoning, the entire world's culinary scene could be in our hands, but right now the formula is controlled by Wang Anxiong. That is why I've called for this urgent eting tonight."
Qian Rongwen stood up and said, "Elder Jiang, I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll be blunt."
"Wang Anxiong wants to control the formula for a seasoning that could change the world's culinary scene? Does he even have the resources for that? This gives us an opportunity to settle old scores."
Jiang Hainian replied with a smile, "I like people who are straightforward. Indeed, Wang Anxiong doesn't deserve to control the formula—it's just a sha he's unwilling to hand it over."
"Right now, we are pressed for ti. If we allow Wang Anxiong to take the formula out of Wuzhou, he might establish a super-mighty clan with it. By then, we won't be the ones troubling him, he'll co seeking revenge upon us."
Qian Rongwen agreed, "Gentlen, Elder Jiang is right. We must unite and take decisive action, making sure that Wang Anxiong hands over the formula. What do you think?"
All these major families were primarily driven by interests. Spotting such a cash cow, naturally, they all wanted a slice of the pie.

"Wang Anxiong has been growing overconfident recently, and we can't allow him to develop elsewhere. We must nip the danger in the bud."
"I agree, Wang Anxiong is getting out of line. He can leave Wuzhou, but he must hand over that formula before he does."
...
The heads of the other families in Wuzhou spoke up one after the other.
Zheng Hongyuan, Zheng Wenmao, and Zheng Xiangming exchanged glances. They had witnessed Shen Feng's dical skills, but the allure of the Immortal Flavor Liquid was too great at the mont.
Zheng Wenmao whispered, "Dad, you agree for now, and we'll discuss it later."
Zheng Hongyuan nodded and said in a loud voice, "We should teach Wang Anxiong a lesson."
Zheng Xiangming's brows furrowed tightly.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Jiang Hainian continued, "Even if Wang Anxiong wants to leave Wuzhou, he will need a few days to prepare. Jade Mansion will be closed to the public tomorrow at noon, and I expect all of you to honor us with your presence for lunch. We will invite Wang Anxiong together, and I believe that as long as we are sincere, Wang Anxiong will realize his mistake."
The Jade Mansion Hotel was one of the Jiang Family's properties and was considered a very upscale luxury hotel in Wuzhou.
It seed they planned to lay a trap for Wang Anxiong by inviting him to a banquet.
Qian Gaoliang couldn't help but speak up, "Elder Jiang, Wang Anxiong kicked before. I want to settle this matter tomorrow and ask for you to back up then."
Jiang Hainian smiled and gestured with his hand, "Gaoliang, since you're calling Elder Jiang, of course I'll make Wang Anxiong give you an explanation for that kick."
Qian Gaoliang didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Jiang Hainian, and said respectfully, "Elder Jiang, and about that charlatan, a big part of this matter cos from him. Can you let deal with him?"
Jiang Hainian didn't take Shen Feng seriously at all, he had almost forgotten even what Shen Feng looked like, and said, "That charlatan can be dealt with however you like when the ti cos."
Next, the representatives of the major families briefly discussed tomorrow's affairs and then left the Jiang Family's villa one by one.
In the Zheng Family's car, no driver was called that evening, and Zheng Xiangming was personally driving.
Zheng Xiangming's frown deepened, and he couldn't help but speak up, "Dad, we know Shen Feng's dical skills are powerful, and I think the Zheng Family should not get involved in this."
Zheng Wenmao countered, "Big brother, you don't understand business. The kid's dical skills are strong, but is dical skill omnipotent in this world? Dad and I have had many check-ups recently, and the cancer cells in our bodies have been cleared."
"The kid charged us a billion last ti for treatnt; I just can't swallow that. So what if this spice has sothing to do with the kid? If we get involved, we're not the ones on the front lines. As long as we can get a share of the spoils, the Zheng Family's assets will multiply significantly."
Zheng Xiangming was a bit annoyed and said, "Dad, after all, it was Shen Feng who cured your illness. If he hadn't taken action, all the money in the world would have been useless. We can't do sothing as ungrateful as crossing the bridge and tearing it down!"
After pondering for a mont, Zheng Hongyuan said, "Xiangming, listen to Wenmao this ti. We are only getting involved temporarily. If the other families benefit from this, they will leave the Zheng Family far behind."

Zheng Xiangming didn't speak any further.
Human greed is boundless.
Did the major families of Wuzhou, this united little snake, truly think they could swallow Shen Feng, the elephant, whole? They were not afraid of choking to death!
