King of Assassins-Chapter 689 - 515 Welcome_3

Augustus and the Jin Family's mid-to-high level members were completely purged. The elites of the two noble families were almost entirely wiped out.
Although they still maintain their rule over the Star Realm, the strength of the two families is at most only ten percent of what it was.
This huge change in power is very direct.
With one more Golden Powerhouse, combined with an organizational system, one can control an Administrative Star.
Without a Golden Powerhouse, such a loss of maneuvering power is irreplaceable.
The families' Golden Powerhouses were almost all killed, which shows how strong the destructive force is.
That Augustus and the Jin Family can still maintain their current scale is because the two families have ruled for three thousand years and have extremely high family prestige. This is what allows them to maintain their current power.
It won't be long before these two families inevitably show signs of decline. At that time, the situation will be uncertain.
To be honest, the Yuan and Liu Families were originally quite gloating over the misfortune of the Jin Family and the Augustus Clan.
The Central Star Realm is only so big, and resources are limited. If others take more, they end up taking less.
Conversely, the misfortune of the Jin Family and the Augustus Clan will open up significant opportunities for others. For other Golden Families, it's a rare opportunity that comes once in a millennium.
Especially the Jin Family, which was formidable in business dealings, continuously expanding over the past few hundred years. It had already formed a substantial oppression over other Golden Families.
Taking advantage of the Jin Family and Augustus Clan's misfortune, other Golden Families have already moved to take over the market left vacant by the two families completely.
However, the few big families had not been happy for long before something like this happened.
Now, no one is feeling happy. Occupying the market only meant more profit. It's good if one can have it, but it's not a big deal if not.
But if their family is taken over by Gao Xuan, the loss would be unbearable.
After the Yuan Family's high-level meeting ended, Yuan Wuxian left feeling utterly defeated, yet he could only grit his teeth and endure.
Although he is proud by nature, everyone present was of the Golden Level Elders, none of whom he could afford to provoke. Even being scolded like a dog, he could only listen.
Returning to his room, Yuan Wuxian couldn't help but contact Liu Po.
Back on Taiwei Star, everyone was making things difficult for Gao Xuan, with Liu Po frequently stirring things up. No one thought much of it at the time.
In any case, nobody could stand Gao Xuan; the guy was too dazzling! Standing beside Gao Xuan, everyone automatically became a supporting role. This was something the proud crowd could not understand.
No one expected a small incident back then to escalate into what it is now.
Soon, Liu Po's large face popped up on the screen. His brows were full of fatigue, and he seemed less slick than usual.
"What's wrong, is there more bad news?" Seeing Yuan Wuxian's tense face, Liu Po was also a bit distressed, involuntarily rubbing his brows.
Though Yuan Wuxian was usually aloof, his expression now clearly showed he was about to go mad!
Yuan Wuxian coldly said, "It was all your idea back then, and look what it's gotten us into. Our family's elder council is discussing offering me to Gao Xuan to apologize."
"What?"
Liu Po was shocked; he hesitated and said sheepishly, "No way?"
The Yuan Family has always been outwardly strong, even the Qin Family wouldn't easily submit. Whenever there's an opportunity, they'd stand firm.
Why would they be so afraid of Gao Xuan? Preparing to surrender without even making a move? That's too exaggerated.
Yuan Wuxian kept a stern face, "Would I make such a boring joke?"
He then asked, "You haven't seen that video, have you?"
Liu Po looked bewildered, "I've been grounded. I can only stay at home every day and know nothing."
"I think you're done for."
Yuan Wuxian let out a cold snort. Liu Po was even worse off than he was, not even privy to this level of secrets.
Judging by this, the Liu Family was indeed ready to sacrifice Liu Po.
Yuan Wuxian played the video again, and Liu Po was left dumbstruck after watching it. He muttered to himself, "It's over, it's really over..."
Seeing Liu Po's despairing expression, Yuan Wuxian's mood improved a little.
Indeed, as long as a person looks down and sees someone worse off, they find psychological comfort.
On the other hand, Yuan Wuxian looked down on Liu Po somewhat; the acting up and networking he did back then seemed quite clever.
Facing a bit of trouble, Liu Po couldn't handle it. He's just a useless piece of trash.
Yuan Wuxian said, "Gao Xuan will be staying in the Thousand Mechanism Star Realm for another ten days. You still have time to think about the next steps."
Liu Po, looking dejected, said, "If I went to Gao Xuan now and called him daddy, would it be too late?"
"Maybe it would work, you might as well try."
Yuan Wuxian said, "If it really works, I'll go over and acknowledge him as my father too."
"That joke is not funny at all."
Liu Po was really in no mood for jokes; he waved his hand, "Talk later."
After ending the communication, Liu Po clutched his head and cried out in agony, "Ahhh, why am I so unlucky..."
Liu Po was now extremely regretful, wondering why he had gone to provoke Gao Xuan. Was it just because Gao Xuan was more handsome, more popular with women, or because he was so extraordinary that he became the champion? What was the big deal?
It was just a moment of folly, wanting to get rid of Gao Xuan. And after doing some crafty things behind the scenes, he dug a huge pit and buried himself in it.
But now it was a bit late for regrets.
Liu Po was undoubtedly a smart person, extraordinarily so. If talking about adaptability, he was among the best in the younger generation.
The video sent by Yuan Wuxian made him keenly aware that the situation was out of control.
The Liu Family had always liked to go with the flow. With Gao Xuan being so dominant, there was no way the Liu Family would go to war with Gao Xuan for one person.
