Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 745: Chapter 744 Private Agreement

3 PM the next day.

Xu Yang and his three associates, along with Richard from the Burton Consortium, as well as the Family Heads of the Carson Family and the Locke Family, gathered at the World Tree Cafe.

Xu Yang was only there to make up the numbers, with no plans to speak, because his English wasn’t up to par.

But just then, the system’s voice rang in his mind.

[Ding, scene-triggered reward. Rewarding host with English language expert skill!]

In an instant, Xu Yang mastered English, and at an expert level no less.

...

It had been a long time since Xu Yang had heard the system’s voice.

He hadn’t expected its reappearance to reward him not with some valuable information, but with a skill.

Nevertheless, this skill was exactly what he needed.

Being hampered by the language barrier had been very inconvenient on many occasions.

Yesterday, when he was with Wang Xiaocong, encountering Harriman, he could only act as an enforcer, hardly able to say a few words.

It was only with Richard’s presence that he could converse a bit in Chinese, which was quite a bitter experience.

Now, with the system’s reward of English skills, he had instantly mastered the language, effortlessly handling listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

It could be said that probably many native speakers and Americans didn’t understand English as well as he did, considering he was of an expert level.

Originally, Xu Yang hadn’t planned to speak today, focusing solely on participation, leaving the proposed plan to be discussed by Wang Xiaocong.

But now, there was no need to leave it to Wang Xiaocong.

If he could speak, of course he would speak for himself.

In the private room, seven people got to know each other briefly before getting down to business.

Xu Yang took the lead with fluent English, “Ladies and gentlemen, what we are here to discuss today is how to annihilate the Brook Family. Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Ma, and I have already come up with a plan, which we believe to be highly feasible. I have used a similar plan before to topple a hundred-billion family. Mr. Richard, Mr. Gabriel, Mr. Ryan, you may take a look first.”

After speaking, he took out three documents from his briefcase and handed them to Richard and the others.

The Family Head of the Carson Family was named Gabriel, and the Family Head of the Locke Family was named Ryan.

“You’ve drawn up a plan?”

Richard and his companions took the documents and began to look them over.

While they read, Wang Xiaocong nudged Xu Yang’s arm, “When did your English get so good? You always said your English was bad, were you just using me as a workhorse?”

Truth be told, Xu Yang had genuinely surprised him when he started speaking.

Xu Yang had always claimed his English wasn’t good and seldom spoke it.

In this beautiful country, whenever English was required, it was him who had to speak.

Now, he couldn’t help but suspect Xu Yang’s intentions.

With such good English, yet letting him speak was clearly treating him as labor.

Xu Yang couldn’t exactly say it was the system’s reward and could only reply, “I was giving you a chance to shine, and you’re not happy about it?”

Wang Xiaocong rolled his eyes, “I’m happy my ass. Besides, what kind of opportunity is that? If I’d known your English was this good, I would’ve never said so much myself.”

Liu Qiangxi then added, “Mr. Xu, that’s not very kind of you. Your English is so good, yet you claimed it was bad. How do you think that makes us feel?”

Ma Huateng chimed in, “Exactly, even Xiao Wang, who has studied abroad, isn’t as good as you.”

Xu Yang chuckled, “You’re exaggerating. My English really is average.”

This statement only caused the three of them to roll their eyes.

They really felt inferior to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang spoke so fluently, as if he were a native of Eagle or Beautiful Country, very authentic.

Amidst their low laughter, Richard and the other two reviewed the plan.

Richard was the first to speak, “This plan is indeed good; if everything goes as expected, this method will certainly annihilate the Brook Family. I agree.”

Xu Yang and the others looked towards Gabriel and Ryan.

Gabriel said, “The plan is certainly good, but Ryan and I can’t agree, or at least we can’t agree for now.”

Ryan nodded in agreement, “Yes, we cannot agree.”

“What do you mean?”

Xu Yang and the rest, along with Richard, were very puzzled.

If they thought the plan was good, why didn’t they agree, and why couldn’t they agree for now?

If not now, then when would they be able to agree?

The words of Gabriel and Ryan left the group of five baffled.

Gabriel explained, “It’s like this: between the four major families of New City, there is a private agreement that competition is acceptable, any kind of competition is no problem. However, if one wishes to destroy another family, the other families must be given a chance. That is, the family to be destroyed must hand over 80% of their wealth and retain 20%. Once they hand over their assets, if the family leaves New City voluntarily, other families are not allowed to directly destroy them; there can be no total annihilation.”

Ryan nodded, adding, “Actually, this approach is also a form of self-protection.”

Hearing this, Xu Yang and the others, along with Richard, came to understand.

However, if the Brook Family could hand over 80% of their wealth and only retain 20%, and then leave New City, that would still be considered destruction.

On this point, Xu Yang, his companions, and Richard had no objections.

They believed that, given the Brook Family’s past conduct, once they lost 80% of their wealth and left New City, they would have no chance of staging a comeback.

There would certainly be many enemies of the Brook Family ready to strike at them.

It was very likely that the Brook Family would dissolve, with its members scattering in all directions, and Beautiful Country would no longer have the Brook Family.

Xu Yang spoke up, “Since that’s the case, there’s no problem. Then how should we give them a chance? Do we go to their door with the evidence, have the Brook Family hand over 80% of their wealth to you three, and then have them leave New City?”

They wouldn’t touch the Brook Family’s assets.

Gabriel nodded, “Exactly, that’s the way it is. If the Brook Family doesn’t agree to leave New City, we’ll use your plan, and at that time they won’t even be able to keep 20% of their wealth. I believe the head of the Brook Family will make a wise choice. Of course, if he is not wise, it doesn’t matter to us; with so many of us united, the downfall of the Brook Family is inevitable.”

Xu Yang and his companions exchanged glances and nodded, “No problem, then let’s pay them a visit. We’d prefer to resolve things without violence. I detest fighting and killing; peaceful resolution is best.”

Wang Xiaocong, Liu Qiangxi, and others felt the same way.

In fact, they were the last ones who wanted to escalate the situation.

Especially for Liu Qiangxi and others carrying out activities in Beautiful Country, it was particularly disadvantageous for them and could easily breed hostility from the people of Beautiful Country.

They were about to expand into Beautiful Country, and if they engendered hostility from the locals, they would certainly encounter many troubles.

Richard then spoke, “Since Mr. Xu and his companions agree, I naturally have no objections. However, I really did not expect that there would be such an agreement between your four major families — not even I was aware of it. It’s really quite secretive.”

Gabriel smiled, “This agreement is only known to the heads of the four major families. It is never leaked unless absolutely necessary, like in this situation. We hope you will keep it confidential as well.”

Xu Yang and the others nodded, promising not to divulge it.

Xu Yang continued, “Yesterday, the Louis Family was destroyed, leaving only three major families in New City. The Brook Family will soon suffer the same fate; from then on, there will only be your two families left. This is a great opportunity for you.”

Gabriel and others exchanged a knowing smile, all understood without saying a word.

With only two major families left, they would be able to access more resources, and their family’s power would climb to another level.

In time, becoming a nationwide major family was not out of the question.
