"Family Head!"

Shao He had just put down the purple sand pot in his hand when he heard someone speak with utmost respect.

Lifting his head, Shao He saw a man in a black uniform appear...

"Is there something wrong?"

As he said this, Shao He paused slightly.

He quickly continued in an incredibly grave tone, "I must have mentioned before, haven't I? Unless it's something urgent, do not disturb me!"

For Shao He, tea tasting was a sacred affair.

Thus, he didn't wish to be disturbed during his usual routines.

Therefore, his tone was quite unpleasant now!

Hearing Shao He speak in such an absolute grave tone, his subordinate felt somewhat nervous.

Drawing in a deep breath, he said, "Family Head, it's like this! Previously, we sent people to the Bai Family to poison them! Logically, we should have received news by now, but up until just moments ago, there has been no message back!"

"I'm worried something has happened, so earlier, I called to inquire. But no one answered the call at all. I'm really afraid something might have gone wrong, and I don't know what to do, so I came specially to ask you."

Explaining hurriedly, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.

Although it was not the first time he had been in such close contact with Shao He, he still felt exceptionally nervous.

Because every time, he could feel that chilling suffocation emanating from Shao He...

He knew the reason for this was Shao He's terrifying power...

...

"Contact lost? Could it really be that something has happened? But that seems unlikely, doesn't it?"

After listening to his subordinate's account, Shao He furrowed his brows slightly...

Quickly, he continued, "This time, it was the elders of the Bai Family who actively collaborated with us, they have no idea about the poisoning, so there should be no chance of any accidents."

Shao He knew the poison was chronic, with no symptoms in the short term, so there was no way they could have detected it; naturally, there couldn't be any accidents...

"Family Head, that's what I thought too, but there has been no contact!"

"Hm, I've got it! Go ahead for now. Later, we'll call for more people and go directly to the Bai Family to see for ourselves. Then, we will know what really happened!"

"Yes! Then, Family Head, I will take my leave!"

"Mm!"

Watching his subordinate leave, Shao He lightly tapped the table.

Soon, he poured himself another cup of tea.

After smelling the aroma, Shao He gulped it down.

Afterward, Shao He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, a voice of absolute gravity came from the earpiece.

Hearing this extremely gravely voice, a hint of a smile appeared on Shao He's lips...

Quickly, he spoke in a low voice, "The preparations for dealing with the Bai Family are almost ready! I will take all my men to the Bai Family in a bit, have you decided over there? Do you want a share? If you aren't interested, soon the entire Bai Family will be mine. If you are willing, then bring your men and come quickly. We'll do this together!"

Having said this, he waited quietly.

He soon heard that absolutely hoarse response.

"After taking down the Bai Family, how much will I get?"

Upon hearing the query, Shao He unhesitatingly responded, "One third!"

"One third? We have worked together not just once or twice before. Don't you find one third a bit too little?"

Hearing the dissatisfied voice, Shao He replied coldly, "Joke! If you find it too little, then pretend I never said anything!"

With that, Shao He prepared to hang up the call!

In his view, offering the other party one third was already quite generous!

He felt that he could fully handle this matter by himself!

The reason he was calling him now was simply because he was worried that the Bai Family might have some more terrifying cards up their sleeve.

To put it simply, Shao He just wanted him as backup.

Under these circumstances, one third was the limit...

"Ah Shao, it's been so long and your temper is still so bad!"

Hearing this teasing, he didn't hang up but responded coldly instead, "Cut the crap. Just tell me, do you agree to one third or not?"

"Fine, we're good friends. One third will do! By the way, when will you make your move?"

"It doesn't matter to me. I will move out as soon as you arrive!"

"Good, then let's meet in half an hour!"

"Okay, let it be so!"

"Alright!"

After hanging up, Shao He looked toward the distance with a cold smirk.

"Taking over the Bai Family is not enough for me. Slowly, I will completely take over the other Hidden Families as well. Because only by doing so, can I truly grow stronger!"

Saying this greedily, he split his mouth open, revealing a face filled with avarice...

At the Bai Family, all the youngsters were in a state of jubilation at that time!

The reason they were so exalted was that, under the treatment of Hu Xiaobei, the poisoned elders of the Bai Family had completely recovered.

Hearing those excited cheers, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes!

Now, Hu Xiaobei's control over the Nine Wood True Qi had improved a lot, thereby greatly speeding up his treatments as well. That's why in such a short span of time, Hu Xiaobei had enabled their complete recovery...

"Master Xiaobei, you are our life-saving benefactor. We really need to thank you properly!"

"Indeed!"

The newly cured people expressed their excitement.

The reason for this was that they realized their health had improved significantly after being healed!

They knew all these changes were thanks to Hu Xiaobei...

Hearing their excited utterances, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes again.

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei replied directly, "There's no need to be so courteous. If you truly wish to thank someone, thank Bai Xuening and Bai Mengmeng! If not for them, I wouldn't have bothered helping you."

"Yes!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they all turned to look at Bai Xuening and Bai Mengmeng in unison!

They knew that if it weren't for this mother and daughter, they could only silently await death by now.

Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei, Bai Xuening, and the elders of the Bai Family gathered together in the great hall.

In the past half an hour, these elders had locked up the young ones from the Shao Family into the dungeon!

After locking them up, they conducted interrogations...

Quickly, they obtained a lot of crucial information from them...

Now, they had gathered here to thoroughly discuss the intelligence they just acquired.

Bai Xuening, glancing at Hu Xiaobei seated behind her, spoke in a low voice, "Are you saying that the Shao Family truly intends to completely take over us?"
