After the divorce, I became a god that my ex-wife couldn’t reach.

Zhao Gaoming invited Long San, Pi Yangyang, and Zhou Hexu to go to the Zhao family to discuss the upcoming war with the Qi family.

The Zhao family held an afternoon banquet. After the meal, several people drank tea and discussed in the living room.

"The Qi family is so bold this time, openly declaring war on my Zhao family. It seems that they do have a lot of support. Although my Zhao family is not afraid of the Qi family, we must also be prepared to avoid being caught off guard."

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhao Gaoming spoke slowly.

Zhou Hexu said with some concern: "The Qi family is indeed very powerful this time. Not only did they form an alliance with more than 20 families, big and small, on the spot, but in the past two days, many families have also been showing goodwill to the Qi family and expressed their willingness to form an alliance with them."

Long San said disdainfully: "What's the use of having so many families in the alliance? They are just a mob. These people all think that the Qi family will win this time, so they want to cling to the thighs and wait for the Qi family to win so that they can get a share of the pie. I think they are just dreaming about marrying a wife and thinking about beautiful things."

Zhou Hexu said: "Lord Long, they may indeed be a mob, but the Qi family's relatives are indeed very powerful. The Lu family in Lu Province, the Yu family in Bashu, and the Zhu family in Tiannan are all giants that dominate one side. Although they cannot be compared with the five major families in the country, their strength should not be underestimated.

"Now that these giants have all formed an alliance with the Qi family, the Qi family's strength is unprecedentedly great. Moreover, I have heard that the Qi family has always had close contacts with the Jingbian family in Country J. The day before yesterday, Qi Sanbao had already gone to Country J, and he must have gone to seek help from the Jingbian family..."

Hearing this, Pi Yangyang couldn't help but smile calmly, "The Jingbian family in Country J? Is the chairman called Jingbian Xiong?"

"Yes, it's Jingbian Xiong, the actual controller of the Jinding Financial Group."

Zhou Hexu said immediately.

Pi Yangyang almost couldn't hold back his laughter and said playfully, "This is interesting."

Zhao Gaoming said with some surprise: "I know that his Qi family has always had business dealings with Country J, but I didn't expect that the relationship is so close?"

Zhou Hexu said: "The founder of the Jinding Group once occupied many coal mines in China. The Qi family dug coal for them. After the war, most of the coal dug by the Qi family was smuggled to the Jinding Group in Country J. So the relationship between the two families has always been very close."

"Master Zhou, are you a little scared?"

Long San said jokingly.

Zhou Hexu's expression became serious, and he said, "Lord Long, I am just talking about the facts. Since I have already made the decision, why would I be afraid? The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed. Since my Zhou family dares to gamble on the family's fortune, we will not back down."

Seeing that he was a little excited, Long San couldn't help but say guiltily: "Sorry, I was just joking. I have never doubted the integrity of the Zhou family master."

Zhao Gaoming said: "Even if the Qi family can contact overseas forces, our Zhao family is not afraid! Patriarch Zhou is right. At worst, both sides will be destroyed."

At this time, Zhao Hu hurried in and said respectfully: "Old man, Han Handong, the head of the Han family, and Miao Zeyu, the head of the Miao family, want to see you."

Before Zhao Gaoming could speak, Long San frowned and asked, "What are they doing here at this time?"

Zhao Hu said: "They look a little anxious, maybe something is wrong."

Zhao Gaoming said: "Since you are here, please come in."

"Yes!"

Zhao Hu agreed and turned to invite Han Handong and Miao Zeyu.

"That's right, Miao Zeyu should also have an attitude! He was able to become the president of this chamber of commerce because of Mr. Zhao's strong support! Otherwise, how could it be his turn?"

Seeing Zhao Hu leave, Long San said.

"This business war is a serious matter. If we are not careful, the fortune of a family will be completely ruined. It is understandable that they hesitated or even did not make a choice."

Zhao Gaoming didn't think they had to join the Zhao family's alliance.

However, he also knew that when the Qi family formed an alliance that day, these two families never expressed their views and remained neutral.

At least at that time they were unwilling to stand on the side of the Qi family.

Soon, Miao Zeyu and Han Handong came into the hall.

"Miao Zeyu and Han Handong have met Mr. Zhao."

The two men bowed respectfully and shouted.

Zhao Gaoming laughed and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and have a cup of tea."

After the two sat down, Long San personally brewed two cups of tea and handed them to them.

"Thank you, Lord Long!"

The two of them shouted respectfully again.

Long San smiled slightly, "Have you two heard any rumors, or have you made any decisions?"

Miao Zeyu put down the teacup, looked at Zhao Gaoming, and said respectfully: "The Qi family declared war on the Zhao family, and my Miao family should have made a choice earlier. But I did hesitate at the time, worried that this war would affect the fortune of my Miao family, and I would not be able to explain to the family at that time.

"In the past two days, I have been holding family meetings and discussing with important figures in the family what to do next. In the end, we voted and decided to join the Zhao family alliance and share life and death with the Zhao family."

Long San nodded, looking somewhat relieved.

Zhao Gaoming smiled slightly, "I am very happy that Master Miao can make such a decision. Master Miao's worries are not unnecessary. The outcome of this battle is indeed unpredictable. Once we lose, not only will our Zhao family be severely frustrated, but all those who are allied with our Zhao family will inevitably suffer a huge blow, and even decades of hard work will be burned to ashes.

"So I understand any of you being cautious."

Miao Zeyu said with emotion: "Mr. Zhao has always been tolerant and generous, and he won't argue with ignorant young people like us. Over the years, my Miao family has received a lot of care from the Zhao family, which has enabled us to develop to today's scale.

"So, if something happens to the Zhao family, my Miao family will never retreat! Even if this battle makes my Miao family bankrupt, I will fight to the end!"

"Well, what Master Miao said really impressed me! Rumor has it that Master Miao is a fence-sitter, and he goes wherever the wind blows. Bah! That's pure bullshit! Just based on your attitude, you are the man that I, Long San, admire!"

Long San seemed very excited and clinked his teacup with Miao Zeyu.

Han Handong quickly said: "Although my Han family is not as strong as the Miao family, I, Han Handong, have always admired Mr. Zhao as a person. In this battle, my Han family will definitely do everything to help the Zhao family."

Zhao Gaoming laughed and said, "You are not only helping my Zhao family, but also Mr. Pi."

Han Handong and Miao Zeyu then looked at Pi Yangyang and shouted respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Pi."

Pi Yangyang smiled and said, "This war was actually caused by me. I am a little uneasy that the Zhao family and Lord Long were involved. I am a stranger to your three families, but you are still determined to fight for it. I am really touched.

"I won't say much else. I promise you here that if I win this battle, I, Pi Yangyang, will be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital and develop in the future. I will never forget your kindness today!"

As he spoke, he raised the teacup and offered tea to everyone one by one.

In fact, deep down, he knew that he had a sure win.

But he didn't intend to show it. No one knew what would happen until the very last moment.

"In this case, we have officially formed an alliance. Now all you have to do is to collect as much funds as possible and wait for the Qi family to attack. Once the Qi family launches an attack, all funds must be allocated in a unified manner. Is this ok, everyone?"

Zhao Gaoming said in a solemn tone.

"no problem!"

Zhou, Han, and Miao answered bluntly at the same time.

At this moment, Long San's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, frowned, and said subconsciously: "Why did he call me?"

The words "Changfeng" appeared on the phone, and it was Shen Changfeng calling.

He kept the number but never used it.

So, when Shen Changfeng suddenly called him, he felt a little strange.

But he answered it anyway.

"Master Feng, do you have something to talk to me about?"

After answering the phone, he asked directly.

"Master Long San, long time no see. We have known each other for more than 20 years, and the past memories have long gone with the wind. When I think about it, I have been wandering around in the martial arts world for a lifetime, but I have never made any real friends."

From the other end of the phone, Shen Changfeng's unhurried voice came, sounding a little emotional.

"Why do you say that, Master Feng? You have friends all over the world, how can you not have real friends?"

Long San didn't understand why he was so emotional, so he just said it casually.

"At that time, it was because I was still in a position, and those people had to look up to me, so they regarded me as a friend. After so many years, I have long understood the meaning of people leaving and the tea being forgotten. When I have some free time and think back on the past, sometimes it is really ridiculous."

Shen Changfeng said again.

Long San frowned, "Master Feng called me, isn't he going to reminisce about the past with me?"

"Oh, sorry, I lost my composure. The thing is, it's my sixty-fifth birthday in three days, and I'd like to invite you to Changfeng Villa to reminisce and have a few drinks. I wonder if Mr. Long San is willing to do me the honor?"

Shen Changfeng said quickly.

Long San smiled slightly, "You've said this much, how can I not come? Don't worry, I will definitely come to celebrate your birthday that day!"

"Okay, I'll prepare some wine and wait for you. By the way, I invited you instead of anyone else. Old people like quiet time, and I just want to catch up with old friends, that's all."

After Shen Changfeng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Long San stared at his phone in a daze.
