Just as the sun rose early in the morning the next day, the Quinn's house was covered in white, the mourning color.
Everyone was in mourning mood, sad about what happened.
Even when the sun came out, nobody in the Quinn family could feel the warmth.
The Quinn family changed drastically.
Morrison carried Old Master Quinn's body home, and it was like a bomb that exploded in their house.
Nobody in the house slept that night.
Everyone was crying and screaming in pane the whole night.
Three days ago, Old Master Quinn just celebrated his birthday.
Who would have known that three days later, he would be lying in the coffin, his body cold as ice.
Their lives collapsed in just three days.
Nobody in the Quinn family thought that their family, towering over everything, would suffer such shocking news.
At the same time that the Quinn house was covered in white, the cries echoing at the walls, X City was like a rising wind and scudding clouds.
Each one of the rich families in the city were using the whole night and deployed their powers at dawn, to grow fast.
Their swords pointed at the Quinn family.
The walls only fell if a group of people worked together on pushing it.
They had the name of the richest family in the city, their resources were huge, in some areas they were even a dominant monopoly.
It was a goal that made other rich families jealous by just seeing them.
But now, only three days of work, the Quinn family was in great danger, and X City would change.
Old Master Quinn even had to commit suicide with a long sword to protect his family.
If this wasn't the perfect time to act, what were they waiting for?
Of course, just as those rich ones were preparing and growing, they noticed with surprise, that the Zhuge family had already pointed their knife at the Quinn's businesses.
At the same time as all the other ones were laid out, the Zhuge family acted fast like the light, and started their harvest fight.
This made all the other rich families startled and clench their fist in despair and sighed.
They could only blame them for not acting as fast.
In the Zhuge family, the white haired old man didn't sleep all night, but he didn't look tired at all, instead, his face was blushed, and he had a smile hanging on his lips.
"Grandpa, all the preparations have started, this time, all the rich ones in X City will be so surprised that they won't be able to close their mouths." Jim laughed.
The white haired old man laughed and said, "If this is fate or doomed, our family has lived cautiously in X City for so many years, we never showed our true powers, all those people thought we were weak, but they had no idea how strong and ambitious our family is."
"I just never wanted to show it, but if I ever did, it was surprising to others!"
"You are right, Grandpa, the Zhuge family is of long standing, all we need is a chance, and now that Jack appeared, it will be our chance and grand ambitions to win the name of richest family in X City!"
Jim laughed and added, "One day it will rise in the wind and rise to ninety thousand miles, now those people will have nothing else to do but to watch us!"
"Hahaha, Jim, contact Mr. Hughes immediately, I will have a big dinner party tonight, we will invite Mr. Hughes, and show the hospitality as hosts."
The old man smiled and gestured as he commanded.
Mr. Hughes?!
Jim's pupils narrowed, he had never heard his grandfather speak about someone so respectfully.
Even though the Zhuge family had been in hibernation all these years and didn't draw attention like the Quinn's, they were still a rich family, and had profound foundations and were through and through confident.
As the head of Zhuge family, Jim's grandfather barely ever called other's with a respectful name.
And this time it was a person of only a little more than 20 years of age.
"Grandpa, I will arrange it now." Jim said and left.
In the Soosen Villa.
