Wu Tian’s words revealed an undeniable determination, as if every word contained the power to change destiny.
He turned around leisurely, his gaze sharp and intense, sweeping across the faces of the crowd. In the depths of his eyes, there was both boundless anticipation for the future and profound reflection on the past, as if he could see into people's hearts and guide them in the right direction.
Facing Wu Tian's penetrating gaze, Jin Lingyun frowned slightly with worry and gently advised, "Junior brother, we cannot shirk our responsibilities in our family feuds, but the trip to the Dragon Capture Hall is fraught with danger. Please think it over carefully."
Wu Tian exhaled softly, his words firm and powerful. Though not loud, each word was like a rock landing, deeply moving: "I know the road ahead is full of thorns, but this journey is my destiny, and there is no way to avoid it."
These words moved everyone present, their expressions varied, revealing admiration and awe.
Jin Lingyun was about to speak again when Jiang Qin gently interrupted her, smiling and full of confidence: "Yun'er, there is no need to worry too much. Our junior brother is invincible. Whether it is the Dragon Capture Hall or the Tiger Capture Hall, they are all trivial to him. We should give him our full support and wait for good news."
Upon hearing this, Jin Lingyun's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her gaze towards Wu Tian held a newfound resolve and trust.
Just then, Xia Xue's voice rang out like a clear spring, carrying a hint of surprise and confusion: "Brother Tian, what... what exactly is going on?"
She witnessed a shocking scene before her eyes—numerous influential figures from Linhai, even the heads of the four major families, all knelt before Wu Tian. The scene was spectacular and unbelievable.
Wu Tian gently held Xia Xue's hand, his eyes filled with tenderness, and asked softly, "Did you gain anything from this trip?"
He knew that Xia Xue had been taken away by Wen Yuan's people after entering the sports center, allowing him to focus on dealing with his enemies without any worries.
Now that Xia Xue has returned safely, Wu Tian felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and all his worries and fatigue vanished instantly.
When Wu Tian took her hand in public, Xia Xue blushed and felt extremely shy. Her gaze inadvertently swept over the kneeling crowd, her heart filled with confusion and surprise.
She spoke softly, expressing her joy and gratitude: "This trip has indeed been very fruitful, thanks to Mr. Wen's generous help, which has brought us even more orders."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian looked at Wen Yuan with gratitude in his eyes. "Wen Yuan, thank you. I, Wu Tian, will remember your kindness."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Qi Yunfeng replied with a beaming smile, "It is truly an honor for the Qi family to be able to cooperate with Miss Xia. In the future, the Qi family's doors will always be open to Miss Xia. Please feel free to ask for my assistance if needed."
Wu Tian casually mentioned that he would remember the Qi family's kindness, which made Qi Yunfeng overjoyed. He knew that having Wu Tian express his gratitude was like possessing a priceless treasure.
Xia Xue was shocked to hear this, never expecting that Qin Yunfeng, a prominent figure in Linhai City, would be so polite to her.
Xia Xue's gaze swept around, and she suddenly saw that Qi Yunfeng was kneeling on the ground. Startled, she quickly stepped forward and helped him up, her bewilderment evident in her voice: "Elder Qi, I really don't deserve such a great gift. How can you do this?"
Qi Yunfeng's gaze swept subtly over Wu Tian, his smile concealing his true feelings: "Mr. Wu Tian's demeanor is exceptional, truly admirable. This action was simply beyond his control."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue subconsciously looked at Wu Tian. Although she knew that Wu Tian was very capable, she could not have imagined that Wu Tian could be admired so much by Qi Yunfeng and the Qi family.
Before she could recover from the shock, Ma Rulong suddenly announced loudly, "The Ma family of Linhai City has come to pay their respects to the Goddess of War and is willing to cooperate with her unconditionally!"
Ma Rulong's expression was complex, a mixture of envy and regret. Clearly, Qi Yunfeng had wisely chosen a different path in the face of the changing fortunes of Wu Tian and the Dragon-Capturing Hall.
The so-called "kidnapping" of Xia Xue was actually Qi Jia helping Xia Xue with resources.
Now, Wu Tian has overpowered all rivals, and the future of Linhai City is entirely in his hands.
Qi Yunfeng's foresight earned him Wu Tian's favor, and the benefits he would receive in the future are self-evident. The Qi family may well rise to a level that the Ma family can hardly reach.
Ma Rulong was unwilling to give up, so he gritted his teeth and offered Xia Xue such an attractive condition.
However, before Ma Rulong could finish speaking, Zhou Kewen, not to be outdone, declared eloquently, "The Zhou family is willing to give everything we have, at your disposal, to show our sincerity."
These words shocked everyone present. Zhou Kewen's decisiveness was astonishing; he was willing to stake his family's business on winning Xia Xue's smile.
Ma Rulong's face turned ashen, his anger surging like a tidal wave. He had never expected Zhou Kewen to resort to such despicable means and propose such harsh conditions, which left him deeply indignant.
He roared, "Zhou Kewen, do you really want to steal the opportunity to cooperate with the Goddess of War from me?"
Zhou Kewen curled his lips into a contemptuous smile and coldly replied, "Can this be called robbery? Madam has a scale in her heart; of course she knows whose offer is more attractive."
Enraged, Ma Rulong turned to Xia Xue with a look of deep affection and unwavering resolve, his teeth clenched: "Madam, the Ma family is willing to give you half of our assets, and no matter what project you undertake, the Ma family will fully support you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room erupted in uproar. The Zhou family was willing to hand over their assets to Xia Xue to manage, while the Ma family was to give up half of their assets.
If it weren't for the fact that the two families were doing this to curry favor with Wu Tian, everyone would have thought that the two had lost their minds.
Faced with this scene, Xia Xue was not only shocked but also at a loss. She looked at Wu Tian with pleading eyes and whispered, "Brother Tian, what... should we do?"
Wu Tian looked down at the kneeling crowd, his eyes showing no arrogance, only calmness and peace: "Everyone, I, Wu Tian, am neither a saint nor a sage, but I remember the saying 'a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude.' I will remember the kindness shown to me today. However, true strength does not depend on the generosity and flattery of others, but rather on standing shoulder to shoulder and weathering the storm together."
After speaking, he gently waved his hand, and a gentle yet powerful force flowed from his palm, gently lifting up the kneeling crowd, like a spring breeze and rain, warming their hearts.
Wu Tian's words demonstrated his formidable strength while maintaining humility and composure, a stark contrast to his previous cold and ruthless image, making it difficult to discern his true nature.
Just as everyone was immersed in this sudden change, Wu Tian spoke again: "Perhaps Xia Xue does not have outstanding conditions, but I firmly believe that with her wisdom and hard work, she will definitely be able to create her own brilliance, without having to rely on anyone's gifts or flattery."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue's eyes shone with determination, and she nodded emphatically, as if she had found a resonance with him.
She gently surveyed the crowd, her lips parted slightly, and her voice was clear and strong: "Xia Xue will always remember your kindness. Just as Brother Tian said, I am willing to create my own future with my own hands, rather than relying on anyone's favor."
"Well said!" Jiang Qin responded with enthusiastic applause as soon as she finished speaking. "No wonder she's my junior brother's wife, she's truly extraordinary."
