Chapter 793: Fang Ze’s Counterattack! (7000 words!)

To tell the truth, Jia thought in that moment that Fang Ze had been driven mad by the Sima family recently to have such wild ideas.

Of course, although this is what he thought, he certainly wouldn’t say it out loud.

So, he smiled and advised Fang Ze, “My dear nephew, there’s no need for that.”

“I’m actually not very keen on spectacles. And…”

At this point, he paused, truly speaking from the bottom of his heart for Fang Ze’s sake, “Each noble family has lasted so many years because they certainly have their own capabilities.”

“There are some things we really shouldn’t confront head-on.”

“Harmony brings wealth, after all.”

Upon hearing his sincere words, Fang Ze was momentarily lost for words, smiling wryly. He didn’t press Jia like a child asking whether he didn’t believe him, but instead, he simply retorted, “Then, uncle, can you accept the terms I proposed?”

Sure enough, once it came to interests, Jia couldn’t sit still anymore, he coughed and said, “That’s definitely not possible.”

Fang Ze picked up his teacup and took a sip, then said, “See, this is a catch-22. I say I have the ability to handle the Sima family’s matter myself, but you don’t believe it.”

“You want to use this as a condition to cooperate with me. But I don’t need it.”

“So, the best solution is still for you to come with me personally and see how I resolve this matter.”

Seeing how calm and serious Fang Ze was about discussing the matter, Jia was somewhat hesitant for a moment: had he underestimated Fang Ze? Did he really have a way to resolve it?

Thinking this, Jia quickly went over the whole process of the event in his mind again.

The whole incident was actually quite simple:

Sima Jin had invited Fang Ze to a banquet, but Fang Ze had refused. Afterwards, Sima Jin was slightly angered and directly sent a Mortality-Shedding expert to force Fang Ze to attend the banquet.

As it turned out, Fang Ze was also formidable, having made preparations in advance, he had nine Yang Transformation experts ambush and beat the Mortality-Shedding expert and then detained him.

Later, Sima Jin personally came to demand an explanation from Fang Ze, a verbal conflict occurred between the two, and Fang Ze took advantage of the situation and captured Sima Jin.

Although the incident was instigated by Sima Jin, his actions were not really excessive, and he had justifiable reasons, while Fang Ze’s response was clearly a bit too much.

Even though Fang Ze had let slip that Sima Liu had violated federal law, and that Sima Jin had intentions of assaulting him, but… one, federal law does not extend to nobles who have judicial immunity and are only subject to Noble Court trials. Two, neither under federal nor noble law did Fang Ze have the right to detain nobles on his own.

These two points were also why the Sima family was furious upon learning about the incident, and why they dared to blatantly block Fang Ze’s door tonight.

So, after much thought, Jia truly couldn’t see any way that Fang Ze could turn the situation around. With this thought, he fell silent for a moment, then looked at Fang Ze and earnestly asked, “My dear nephew, do you really have a way to resolve this yourself?”

Fang Ze confidently nodded.

Jia laughed and said, “Then I have nothing else to say. If you really are confident about resolving this matter, then I, on behalf of the Jia family, accept your conditions!”

“It’s just earning a little less, having you as an ally is the biggest gain from this cooperation.”

Seeing Jia finally relent, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Fang Ze’s face. He extended his hand and said, “Is it a deal?”

Jia also reached out and shook hands with Fang Ze, “It’s a deal.”

After making this bet, Jia was somewhat eager to see how Fang Ze would turn the situation around. However, just then, Fang Ze was not in a rush, calming Jia with a smile, “No hurry, let’s finish this meal first.”

Tonight was, after all, a banquet hosted by the Jia family, and since the guests had suggested eating first, they couldn’t neglect the courtesy of hosting, so Jia could only suppress his curiosity and urged the chefs to serve the dishes.

Soon, the meal was finished in such an atmosphere.

After finishing the meal, Fang Ze wiped his mouth and then took the initiative to say, “Shall we go now?”

Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Jia, who had already been a bit anxious, promptly stood up and said, “Sure.”

After that, the three of them walked out of the private room together.

Upon reaching the outside of the private room, the attendants from both families immediately stood up, then looked towards the three of them.

Fang Ze looked at Jia and then asked, “Should we take my car?”

Jia, smiling cheerily, said, “I’d be glad to follow your lead.”

Hearing the two of them speak, the attendants looked at them with puzzled expressions, not knowing what was actually happening.

So, as the group proceeded, Li Xiang’s maid, serving under Li Xiang, looked ahead at Fang Ze and Jia leading the way, noticed they weren’t paying attention to her, and quietly asked, “Miss, where are we going?”

Hearing her maid’s question, Li Xiang looked ahead at Fang Ze, and then whispered, “To witness a miracle.”

“A miracle?” The maid clearly didn’t quite understand what she meant.

Li Xiang nodded and then whispered, “Fang Ze says he can handle the Sima family’s matter himself and asked us to come along and witness it.”

“What?” The maid exclaimed in surprise but then quickly covered her mouth.

Then she looked around to see if anyone had noticed her, and then whispered, “I remember you saying the Sima family’s people are not easy to provoke, miss.”
