Wu Qiang stared coldly at Chen Qingdi.
"Haha, how about I tell you the three mistakes you've made in your attempt to seize the Patriarch's position today."
"First, your timing is poor. The family's Hundred Fist Atlas was just stolen, and you choose now to seize the Patriarch's position? The family is in the middle of a crisis. To make a move at a time like this is the mark of a petty man. And how can a petty man ever achieve great things?"
Chen Qingdi said.
"It's precisely in the midst of chaos that one finds a glimmer of opportunity."
"Normally, my father is surrounded by three to five extremely powerful Tributors from the Wu Family."
"Only today were they not with him. Naturally, my chance arrived. If I don't make my move now, when should I? Tell me that."
Wu Qiang calmed down and looked at Chen Qingdi.
"So you've learned to talk back. Not bad. Then let me move on to the second point: you don't understand the situation. Do you really think you've seized the initiative?"
"Do you understand human nature?"
"Elder Wu has run the Wu Family for many years. Do you think he'd let you succeed so easily?"
Chen Qingdi said.
At these words, Wu Qiang's expression shifted.
A trace of worry appeared in his heart as he glanced around nervously.
But there was no one around except for his own men.
If there was anyone else, it was only Chen Qingdi.
"Brat, do you think you alone can disrupt the current situation in my Wu Family?"
"My dad must be going senile to have taken a liking to a brat like you."
Wu Qiang said angrily.
"And the third and most important point: you're too stupid. Your intelligence is insufficient to hold the position of Patriarch."
"If the Wu Family were under your leadership, I'm afraid it would be supplanted by another family in less than three years."
Chen Qingdi said.
"Brat, don't spout such arrogant nonsense."
"Elder He, don't humor him. Keep hitting him."
Wu Qiang said furiously.
'That last palm strike landed squarely on Chen Qingdi,' He Gu thought. 'No matter how powerful he is, he must have taken some damage.'
Therefore, as He Gu attacked again, he felt he could take down Chen Qingdi with ease.
Chen Qingdi saw He Gu rushing toward him again.
His expression also grew a little more solemn.
He was getting tired of playing games with He Gu.
His opponent threw a palm strike, and Chen Qingdi returned one in kind.
The strike was filled with mighty power.
BANG!
Chen Qingdi remained standing in place, but He Gu was sent flying back several dozen meters, crashing directly into a stone pillar. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura weakening considerably.
This scene left Wu Qiang completely stunned.
"You... you're at the Guiyuan Realm, yet you defeated Tributor He, who is at the Master Realm."
"This is impossible."
Wu Qiang's face was a mask of disbelief.
"There are many things you don't believe, but this is the reality."
"So I advise you to obediently kneel before your father right now and admit your mistake. Perhaps he'll still be able to forgive you."
"After all, having ambition isn't entirely a bad thing."
"If no one had any ambition at all, there would be no hope for the Wu Family."
Chen Qingdi looked at Wu Qiang. He was trying to help him.
But Wu Qiang didn't heed Chen Qingdi's words at all.
"What, you don't like what I have to say?"
Chen Qingdi looked at Wu Qiang.
"Like hell I do."
"You're just spouting nonsense. What's done is done."
"Dad, hurry up and hand over the Patriarch's Seal."
"From now on, you won't need to concern yourself with the Wu Family's affairs."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Wu Qiang's eyes as he looked at Wu Jinfeng.
But Wu Jinfeng's eyes held a trace of mockery.
"Oh, my son. I know you too well. Look at this mess you've made today."
"If you admit your mistake now, I can pretend none of this ever happened."
"But if you persist in your folly, don't blame your father for disowning you."
Wu Jinfeng said coldly.
"Is that so?"
"Everyone here is one of my men. What can you do to me?"
Wu Qiang said defiantly.
After speaking, Wu Qiang's gaze grew even colder.
"Make your move, Tributor He, Tributor Ni."
Wu Qiang was no longer willing to wait.
But then, Wu Qiang discovered that Tributor Ni and Tributor He didn't move an inch.
Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed from outside.
Instantly, Wu Qiang was seized by a terrible premonition.
CRASH!
The main gate of the courtyard, which Wu Qiang had locked long ago, was smashed open.
The one in the lead was none other than Shi Tianfeng, known as the Wu Family's strongest Tributor. And behind Shi Tianfeng was Madam Wang Yingcai.
Madam Wang's gaze burned like fire as she stared at Wu Qiang.
"My dear son, you certainly have a lot of nerve."
"Are you trying to force your father to abdicate?"
Wang Yingcai said in a low, heavy voice.
Then, with a great clamor, a large group of Wu Family experts flooded in from outside.
Seeing this, Wu Qiang instantly lost his nerve.
How could he have ever expected his mother to suddenly appear at this moment?
'Could it be that Wang Yingcai anticipated this all along?'
At this thought, Wu Qiang dropped to his knees with a THUD before Wang Yingcai.
"Mom, I wasn't trying to force Dad to abdicate! I just... I really think he's getting old."
"He's in his seventies and still wearing himself out every day with family matters. I just couldn't bear to watch it anymore."
This was, of course, just an excuse Wu Qiang made up for himself. It certainly wasn't what he truly felt.
He simply wanted to do this, to seize control of the Wu Family.
"Is that so?"
Wang Yingcai looked coldly at Wu Qiang, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Yes, that's really what I think."
Wu Qiang nodded his head repeatedly.
"Fine, fine, fine. Ni Wei, He Gu, and the rest of you—what are you still standing there for?"
"Are you really going to follow this brat and rebel?"
"Look at him, he's a complete blockhead."
"What Mr. Chen said just now was spot on. Wu Qiang, you're not only weak, but you're also stupid."
"If you follow him, sooner or later he'll get you all killed."
Wang Yingcai said, fuming.
When Tributors like Ni Wei and He Gu heard Madam Wang say this, they naturally knew she was calling them out.
Of course, they didn't dare to oppose Madam Wang.
Besides, Shi Tianfeng was standing right beside her.
They had also heard that Madam Wang herself was a reclusive master who simply preferred not to take action.
After all, so many of the Wu Family's experts had now rushed over.
To be honest, the entire Wu Family was still under Madam Wang's control.
Elder Wu walked up to Madam Wang with a wide grin.
"My dear, don't you think we've made a bit too much of a scene today?"
Elder Wu said.
"A bigger scene is better. Let those outsiders who want to make a move against us see the true strength of our Wu Family."
Madam Wang said.
"Did you bring the item?"
Madam Wang asked, her expression grave.
