Zhao Letian's words had just ended when the people from the Shentu Family below all revealed faces filled with a mix of shock and anger.
As the rulers of Qingzhou City, the Shentu Family's status was exalted and their strength formidable. Even the other three major families that were their equals in name would have to pay them some respect, and no one had ever dared to be as wildly arrogant as Zhao Letian before the gates of the City Lord Mansion.
"Young friend, I believe the Shentu Family has never wronged you; why must you be so aggressive? It's better to dissolve grudges than to create them. If indeed the Shentu Family has done something improper, please just point it out, and I, as an elder, am willing to apologize on behalf of the Shentu Family."
The elder from the Shentu Family planned to begin with diplomacy before resorting to force, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, as he looked up at Zhao Letian, squeezing out a stiff smile.
