"Go back and tell your Qiao family to be careful. It's very likely their foundation, built over many years, could be destroyed in a single day. And you, kid, I'll investigate your background thoroughly today. If you feel like you can't stay in business, you can come crawling to me on your knees. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll let you off the hook," Gu Nian'an threatened harshly.
The others looked at Xu Fang and Qiao Yu with a mixture of schadenfreude and pity.
The Gu family was incredibly powerful; the Qiao family was no match for them. And Xu Fang was just some guy from a remote backwater, so what power could he possibly have? He was nothing compared to the Gu family.
Gu Nian'an was from the Gu family's direct lineage. If he didn't follow through on his threats, it would be a huge loss of face for his family. Powerful families valued their reputation above all else, so it was almost certain that misfortune would soon befall the Qiao family and Xu Fang.
