After the Double Ninth Festival's mountaineering event, the Zhang family members harbored a deep hatred for Xu Hao.

It was Xu Hao who caused their plan to fail, forcing them to seek help from the Wu Family and become a submissive dog under their command.

By now, Xu Hao had already arrived outside the Zhang Family Courtyard.

When the gatekeeper saw the impressive line of cars, he was immediately startled.

Even if the Zhang family was formidable, they wouldn't dare to fight against so many ordinary people.

One gatekeeper, sensing trouble, quickly ran into the courtyard to report.

At this moment, inside the Zhang Family Main House, the Zhang family members were worriedly discussing strategies. This is part of a series from My Virtual Library Empire (*).

Zhang Zetian had been appointed as the Young Master of the Zhang Family, which meant his words carried even more weight within the family.

Zhang Zetian spoke, "Clearly, the Wu Family has abandoned us. Their failure to send reinforcements up till now is the best proof. If I had said something when Cao An was opposing Xu Hao, perhaps now we could have used that favor to speak well to Xu Hao."

The Zhang Family Old Master said with a worried frown, "Alas, why did the Wu Family drop the ball at such a critical moment? Does anyone know the specific outcome of the Wu Family's visit to Xu Hao's security company yesterday morning?"

Zhang Zetian said, "They definitely lost, there's no doubt about that. But as for how they lost, the Wu Family has implemented a gag order, so we can't find any specific news for now. The Wu Family is probably in trouble themselves and can't be relied on anymore. I wonder if Xu Hao would forgive us for our previous disrespect if we begged for mercy."

"Alas! That's difficult!"

The Zhang Family Old Master sighed deeply and said, "That Xu Hao is young and vigorous. He must be extremely angry at our refusal of his requests. Alas! It's just that the Wu Family has let us down so badly. They made us reply to Xu Hao like that, and now that Xu Hao is about to come knocking, they have done nothing..."

Before he could finish, someone outside rushed in, panicking as he reported, "This is bad, this is bad, Xu Hao is here! And it's not just him; he's brought a large number of ordinary people with him to attack."

"Ordinary people? Why would Xu Hao bring so many ordinary people?" Zhang Zetian asked.

The Zhang Family Old Master said, "Alas, those people must have seen that Xu Hao was coming to deal with our Zhang family and came to spectate. When the wall falls, everyone pushes. When we used to be formidable, which of these lowly citizens would dare to oppose us? Now, with Xu Hao backing them, they've all become bold."

Zhang Zetian scoffed, "Just some lowly citizens, they're not to be feared. What's important today is how to stabilize Xu Hao, even if we have to concede half of the Northern Second District, I would accept it."

"But the key issue is, Xu Hao may not even accept half of the Northern Second District anymore. His demands will surely be more excessive," someone objected.

Right at that moment, another person came to report, "Report to the Old Master, Patriarch, and Young Master, messengers from the Wu Family have brought word that a powerful individual from the Tu family will arrive soon, and they hope that we can hold out for a while."

"The Tu family's people are coming?!"

Everyone from the Zhang family became instantly excited, and some even nearly leapt up in exhilaration.

Support from the Tu family was great news indeed!

No one doubted the strength of the Tu family; they truly had the capabilities.

If they were sending reinforcements knowing Xu Hao's strength, it meant their reinforcements were stronger than Xu Hao, definitely capable of suppressing him, and even possibly killing him!

The Zhang Family Old Master said, "It looks like the Tu family regards Xu Hao as a strong individual of the older generation, considering that after all, Xu Hao is the master of the Southwest Medicine King, Lei Qianjue. Their dispatching of a powerful individual is completely justified, with no fear of idle chatter from others."

Zhang Zetian said joyfully, "Although the Southwest Medicine King Lei Qianjue becoming Xu Hao's disciple raised Xu Hao's fame, making more people aware of him, it now seems to have backfired on him! Hahahaha!"

The Zhang family members looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other without words.

The Southwest Medicine King Lei Qianjue taking Xu Hao as his master seemed like a help at the time, but now, it appeared to be the reason the Tu family dispatched a powerful elder, inadvertently harming Xu Hao.

Just then, everyone suddenly heard a loud "Bang!" outside, followed by an explosive "Boom!"

They exchanged glances, knowing that Xu Hao had arrived.

"Xu Hao still likes to use brute force, just like before. I'd bet that it's the front gate that's been knocked down," someone said.

Zhang Zetian chuckled, "Regardless, everyone, stay calm and follow me to greet Xu Hao. I really want to see him humbly reattaching that gate!"

"Hahaha! The Young Master is right, whatever way Xu Hao knocked down the gate, that's how he should put it back up!"

"The Wu Family may not be reliable, but the Tu family is. With the Tu family's powerful individual here, Xu Hao is nothing to worry about! He still wants our territory? I think we should take his North district three and North district four instead!"

Under Zhang Zetian's lead, the Zhang family members proceeded outside in a grand procession.

Their faces, once clouded with worry, now bore the expression of "certain victory"!
