Jin Zhiming said angrily: "If we were really cowards, we wouldn't come to you to discuss a joint strategy to defeat the enemy."
Liang Wenkang also said coldly: "You guys are really ignorant. We kindly came across the province to help you, but you have such an attitude. We are so disappointed!"
"Family heads, please calm down. After all, this matter is related to the existing balance of our three provinces. Any intervention by external forces will instantly break this balance."
Su Chengwu also stood up and quickly persuaded: "We must join forces to deal with the troubles we are about to face. Otherwise, no one family will be able to deal with the Xue family."
"Master Su, it's not that we don't cooperate, it's that the Guan family and the Han family are unwilling. The Xue family is coming soon. How can we talk if they still have this attitude?"
Liang Wenkang said.
"Now there are only two choices: war and surrender. If you don't want to go to war, what other options do you have?" Han Xiaotian asked with a sneer.
Jin Zhiming stared at Han Xiaotian coldly and said: "The two choices are just your thoughts, but in my opinion, there is a third choice!"
"Oh? Does the Jin family have any countermeasures?"
Su Chengwu was afraid that Han Xiaotian would confront Jin Zhiming again, so he quickly tried to smooth things over and asked.
Jin Zhiming nodded and said: "Our five major families have now reached an agreement that they are all willing to negotiate with the Xue family first. Is that okay?"
None of them spoke, obviously acquiescing.
"My idea is very simple, that is, negotiate first and surrender to the Xue family. It is definitely unacceptable. If the Xue family is still strong and domineering, maybe we can both take a step back and allow the Xue family to develop in our three provinces and reorganize a Xue family branch.
"
Jin Zhiming said: "When the time comes, the Xue family branch will definitely become another top giant in our three provinces. For us, not only will there be no harm, but it will also have benefits."
"At that time, even the wealthy families in other provinces would not dare to be arrogant in front of us."
Liang Wenkang nodded quickly: "The head of the Jin family is right, we can allow the Xue family branches to be established in our three provinces."
"This is indeed a best-of-both-worlds solution."
Even Su Chengwu nodded slightly and said.
"Both are bullshit!"
Han Xiaotian said angrily: "Let's not talk about whether the Xue family will agree. Even if they agree, after the Xue family branch is established, won't they slowly annex the wealthy families of the three provinces?"
"Compared to directly making the wealthy families of the three provinces surrender, it just takes some time. With the strength of the Xue family, they can control the wealthy families of the three provinces in less than a month. Do you believe it?"
Guan Zhengshan also nodded and said: "The Han family leader is right. At least we in Jiangping Province will never allow the Xue family branch to be established here."
"You can't do this, and you can't do that either. Are you determined to start a war with the Xue family?"
Jin Zhiming asked angrily.
"If a war starts, let's start a war. If you don't dare, then go back to Nanyang and Donglan!"
Han Xiaotian said unceremoniously.
Although Guan Zhengshan was not as obvious as Han Xiaotian, he also expressed his attitude: "Jiangping Province will never allow the Xue family to settle in!"
Among the three top wealthy families in Jiangping Province, Su Chengwu was the only one who did not express his position for a while.
Jin Zhiming and Liang Wenkang both looked very ugly. The reason why they took the initiative to come to Guan's house was to expand the alliance member families, so that they would be qualified to talk to the Xue family after the Xue family settled in the three provinces.
However, they still underestimated the Xue family from afar. Not to mention their five wealthy families, even if all the wealthy families in the three provinces joined forces, they would not be qualified to talk to the Xue family.
"Okay, very good. Since you are seeking death, we won't accompany you!"
Jin Zhiming stood up suddenly and said coldly: "Without you, we can still find other families willing to join forces!"
