บท 881: The Meng Family

Meng Mingshu was in a tough spot. He had overestimated his will and courage while simultaneously underestimating the ruthlessness and greed of Jade City.

Everybody knew that the Meng family's huge amounts of wealth no longer existed and that it was like a dying giant beast. After briefly testing the waters and confirming that there was indeed no secret treasure left, flocks of hunters poured in thick and fast, their eyes on the small amount of meat left on this beast.

Meng Mingshu had become the patriarch as he had wished, but his family members had immediately abandoned him. In front of dozens of family members, his old grandmother had cried as she said that she was too old to suffer any more misfortune, and that thus she would volunteer to live alone. But eventually, with the approving voices of those family members, Second Young Master Meng had ultimately been the one to "voluntarily" move out of the family mansion.
