Super War God in the City-Chapter 489: Shock in Xiangjiang

Evening, Shallow Bay Villa in Xiangjiang.

"Junta, the information I've gleaned about that kid recently seems to complicate matters. Are you sure you can handle it?" Tang Anqi said, her gaze unfocused.

"An Qi, he's just trash. I guarantee he won't be returning home. Don't forget, I have the Martial Alliance behind me!" Takako Junta declared confidently.

Tang Anqi bit her lip and said, "This time, our lineage is definitely going to lose face. Father has been hiding this incident within the family for a long time.

There will surely be those who scoff at him for not even daring to avenge his grievances. When Grandfather returns, he will certainly erupt in rage!

Therefore, don't show yourself too quickly. I have my own arrangements. Here in Xiangjiang, many distinguished young men pursue me.

This time, I can use that to my advantage. Let's keep our relationship a secret for now, understand?"

"Hehe, I understand. I'll follow your lead. Those fools probably don't even realize that the goddess they're pining after has already been conquered by me!" Takako Junta chuckled mischievously.

After a long while, Tang Anqi finally mustered the strength to sit up and said, "Grandfather is returning from England tonight. I need to go there. Better you don't come along; Grandfather has some prejudices against your Snow Country, and I doubt he'll be too fond of you!"

"Hmm, I understand. Then I won't go. Will you come back tonight?" Takako Junta chuckled.

"Hehe, aren't you afraid I'll drain you dry? Don't end up faltering when face to face with my brother's nemesis!" Tang Anqi giggled.

"Haha, An Qi, don't you Huaxia have a saying, 'Death under a peony flower, even as a ghost, I'll be romantic'!" Takako Junta said as he grabbed her teasingly.

Tang Anqi slapped Takako Junta's hand away in annoyance and awkwardly headed into the bathroom to bathe and change clothes.

...

At Tang Hongyi's residence, in the villa's main hall.

An elderly man with graying hair sat with a grim expression on a mahogany chair, his hands resting on a cane, trembling slightly.

This man was Tang Hongyi's father, Tang Liang, the founder of the Tang Family, who had been in ill health and often spent time convalescing on overseas farms.

"You scoundrel, such a huge incident has occurred, why didn't you tell me about it? Cough, cough..." the elder scolded, but couldn't finish his sentence before breaking into a cough.

"Grandfather, please don't be angry. Uncle must have had his difficulties for keeping it from you!" A beautiful young woman in her twenties, dressed in European fashion, hastily interjected, trying to calm him down.

Her name was Tang Caiyan, the cherished granddaughter of Old Master Tang and the daughter of Tang Jianzhong, scion of the third branch of the family. As the saying goes, a man treasures his eldest grandson and youngest granddaughter, and Old Master Tang only had these two favorites.

Aside from Tang Caiyan, who he often kept by his side to instruct carefully, the other was his eldest grandson Tang Tiancheng. Little did he know, his dearly beloved grandson had long passed on.

Tang Hongyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Old Master Tang had just rushed back from England, and as soon as he entered the house, before he even had a drink of water, he kept a stern face in silence until now, erupting with furious anger the moment he spoke!

"Father, it's not that I intended to hide it from you. Your health hasn't been good, so I... I had planned to tell you slowly after I had taken my revenge!" Tang Hongyi said sheepishly.

This matter had been kept from the other branches of the family. He hadn't dared to alarm anyone within the family, thinking he'd resolve the score first before figuring out how to break the news to Old Master Tang.

Not only within the family but also among those who had witnessed the incident, he had sealed their lips.

As for the rumors spreading in the outside world, he neither confirmed nor denied them, waiting for the dust to settle before he would clarify everything after personally exacting revenge on the murderer!

However, after much effort, he found that he couldn't deal with Ling Fan at all. The guy seemed to have a terrifying background, making him not only cautious about taking revenge but also constantly on guard.

With his suffering unspeakable, he could only grit his teeth and swallow the pain alone, bearing the burden by himself. Seeing that Tang Tiancheng's birthday was approaching, and knowing that Old Master Tang was missing his grandson and complaining about being unable to reach him.

In the past, he had made up an excuse, claiming Tang Tiancheng was participating in some special training and couldn't communicate with the outside world, but such a lie could only work temporarily, not forever.

Seeing that Old Master Tang was about to return personally and that the truth couldn't be concealed any longer, he had no choice but to call his daughter back from Dongying to discuss countermeasures.

Old Master Tang took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice, "How is the enemy being dealt with?"

Tang Hongyi sighed and briefly explained the situation.

"That guy is a bit tricky to handle, but this time, I've made thorough preparations. An Qi has brought a friend from Snow Country to help, and I've already notified Yong Xinghua as well!" Tang Hongyi stated.

"Hmph, I thought you could handle it all by yourself! But when it really matters, you don't mobilize the family's power—what can you accomplish alone? I really wonder how you even function as the Family Head," Old Master Tang snorted coldly, his face icy.

The death of Tang Tiancheng had left him unable to accept reality for a long time; from the moment he received the news until now, Old Master Tang hadn't eaten a single bite of food or closed his eyes to rest.

"Phil, that guy, seems to have some energy in the international Underworld. Have you heard of this person?" Tang Caiyan asked with a furrowed brow to a young white man in a tailcoat beside her, his nose high and straight.

Konan Phil, a nobleman from the England Duchy, was also a person who wielded power over both black and white abroad, having connections that reached the heavens. He was Tang Caiyan's boyfriend, whom she had met at an aristocratic soiree.

The young man frowned in thought. "As for well-known figures in the Underworld, even if I haven't met them, I've at least heard of them. But I don't recall anyone by the name of Ling Fan.

It's not strange for people in the Underworld to know each other through friends and such.

He must not be a very influential figure. I bet he paid a hefty price to have the platform cancel the mission. Nothing strange about that!"

This guy wasn't exactly clear about some of the core rules of the Underworld; he merely thought Ling Fan had used money and connections to exploit a backdoor.

"And who might this be?" Tang Hongyi asked upon hearing this, immediately turning his head.

At that moment, feeling a burning sensation on his face, and Phil's words making him feel as though he had been overly paranoid earlier, Tang Hongyi's pride was somewhat deflated, making him seem timid and cowardly.

"Uncle, this gentleman is a noble from the England Duchy, the heir of the Konan Family," Tang Caiyan introduced from the side.

"Heh, hello. You might not have a clear concept of what Miss Tang has said, but the Konan Family is one of the members of the Federal Consortium!" the young white man said with evident pride.

This guy was, in reality, just trying to add glitter to his face, trying to show off in front of Tang Hongyi. The Federal Consortium was one of the two world-class super consortia whose real power came from 'Freedom Island'!

The status of the Konan Family within the Federal Consortium was only after the third-tier—similar to the distinction between a family's direct lineage and its in-laws.

But Tang Hongyi didn't quite understand the logic behind this. He knew about the Federal Consortium, and he suddenly felt a surge of respect, thinking this guy was freaking amazing. His confidence in the upcoming vengeance was bolstered.

"My apologies, my most sincere apologies!" Tang Hongyi said politely.

"Heh, so you really needn't worry about that Ling Fan guy. Leave international issues to me! As for domestic situations, it wouldn't be quite right for me to interfere," Konan Phil said with a smile.

"Hmph, did you understand what Phil said? My grandson's revenge has been delayed for so long without being avenged, and you get scared by a nobody. What can I expect from you? You've been a huge disappointment!" Old Master Tang immediately scolded.

"But he really is formidable. The international security force we hired for our family couldn't touch him..." Defending himself against the criticism, Tang Hongyi argued slightly indignantly.

"Alas, short-sighted. This little corner of Xiangjiang has confined you. He's just at the Grandmaster Realm, do you think he could be a match for Master Yong Xinghua?" Old Master Tang said, his face etched with disappointment.

Just then, a pleasant voice came from outside the door, "Grandpa, you're back. Your granddaughter hasn't seen you for a long time!"

The few people in the living room looked towards the sound and saw Tang Anqi entering, wearing a deep V black high-slit gown, walking in with the strong presence of a noble queen.

Standing beside Tang Caiyan, Phil's eyes couldn't help but light up, his gaze casually falling on Tang Anqi's shapely legs.

"So it's An Qi. This time, Grandpa must praise you. If it weren't for you, I wonder how long your father would have kept it from me!" Old Master Tang's face showed a trace of gratified smile.

"Hehe, Grandpa, you can't blame my father. He just didn't want to implicate everyone, carrying the burden alone. He feels more pain than anyone!" Tang Anqi said, laughing as she explained her father's standpoint.

After discussing strategies with her father, she decided to notify Grandpa and other family members of the bad news promptly. Some things can't be kept secret, and hiding them doesn't solve any problems.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Tang fell silent and then said distantly, "Tomorrow is Tian Cheng's birthday. Your second uncle and third uncle will arrive tomorrow. I plan to hold a memorial service then. Let everyone know; we Tangs are not people who cannot face things head-on!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Hongyi's heart skipped a beat, feeling that at critical moments, it was still Old Master Tang who could command the scene with an ocean-like tolerance!

"Yes, Father. I'll see to it right away and inform the families and forces close to us!" Tang Hongyi immediately replied.

An hour later, news that the Tang family was holding a memorial service for Tang Tiancheng swept through the upper echelons like a tsunami, shaking Xiangjiang to its core!
