The headquarters of the Wenmos family was located in Wenlan City.
This city was not originally named this; the name was changed later.
This was because two major families resided within the city: the Wenmos family and the Lanting family. One Wen and one Lan combined to form this Wenlan City.
On this day, the Wenmos family held a grand party, inviting prominent figures from all over Wenlan City.
Inside the Wenmos mansion at night, the lights blazed. Within the vast estate, covering dozens of acres, those coming and going were all renowned upper-class individuals of Wenlan City.
"Haha, the City Lord personally gracing the Wenmos family with his presence truly brings glory to this humble abode." Outside the estate, an old man stepped out of a common-looking sedan. This was the City Lord of Wenlan City.
The person who emerged from the estate was named Wenmos Tiyu Kong, the eldest son of the current Wenmos family.
"You are too kind, nephew."
The City Lord of Wenlan City walked forward with a smile and hugged Wenmos Tiyu Kong.
The etiquette in Wenlan City was to embrace.
Wenmos Tiyu Kong gestured sideways, "My father awaits you within the estate. Please, City Lord, enter. I still have guests to greet, so I cannot escort you further."
"You are busy."
The City Lord of Wenlan City appeared very humble.
However, those familiar with him knew that a person who could hold his position in a city for thirty years without moving would certainly not be simple.
Many speculated that behind the City Lord stood the Angel Sacred Assembly.
Of course, these were just speculations without evidence.
After the City Lord left, Wenmos Tiyu Kong continued to stand at the entrance to welcome guests.
A moment later, a young man in armor approached.
The moment he saw the other party, Tiyu Kong's brow furrowed, his eyes filled with disgust. He stepped forward to block him, "Lan, what are you doing here?"
This person was from the Lanting family, the second major family in Wenlan City.
The approaching man raised an eyebrow, glanced disdainfully at Tiyu Kong, and let out a cold snort, "Who do you think you are, to dare to stop me?"
"You..."
Tiyu Kong's eyes immediately blazed with killing intent, "Lan, this is the Wenmos family's territory. Do not be arrogant."
However, the other party completely ignored him, took a step forward, and with his nearly two-meter height, looked down at Tiyu Kong, "My name is Lan Kuang. I was born to be arrogant. What, you—disagree?"
A powerful aura emanated from him, making Tiyu Kong gasp for breath.
Lan Kuang's imposing presence was too strong.
"Guards."
Wenmos Tiyu Kong's face turned ugly. He scowled and roared, "Throw this bastard out."
Bang!
As soon as Tiyu Kong finished speaking, a massive fist slammed into his shoulder.
Boom!
A surging force sent Tiyu Kong flying with a single punch.
While in mid-air, the sound of cracking bones echoed from within his body.
"Useless!"
Lan Kuang looked down at Tiyu Kong with an unconquerable gaze.
The Wenmos family guards around them were about to rush forward.
"Stop."
Another person emerged from the estate.
This person was much younger than Tiyu Kong and had a smile on his face. He said loudly, "Brother Lan Kuang's arrival brings glory to our Wenmos family. Welcome, welcome. Brother Lan Kuang, please come in."
"Heh."
Lan Kuang grinned and walked straight into the estate.
The young man, however, acted as if he didn't see his brother wailing on the ground and accompanied Lan Kuang into the estate.
The people around were somewhat at a loss.
It wasn't until a butler emerged and ordered for Young Master Tiyu Kong to be taken for treatment that the chaos at the estate entrance subsided.
Noble individuals entered the estate one after another.
The banquet within the estate had already begun. Outside the estate, powerful figures were constantly patrolling.
Tonight, over ninety percent of Wenlan City's high officials were present. If anything were to happen, no one could bear the responsibility.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, the sound of propellers echoed from afar.
Following the sound, they saw a helicopter rapidly approaching and landing not far in front of the estate.
"People from the branch?"
The old butler, with sharp eyes, spotted the insignia on the helicopter. His brow immediately furrowed. He pointed at a guard at the estate's entrance and ordered, "What are the branch members doing here? Go, tell them to get lost immediately."
The Wenmos family might be average in terms of martial strength, but in finance, they were unmatched on the entire Damelia continent.
The Angel Sacred Assembly placed great importance on the Wenmos family, as well as several other powers similar to the Wenmos family, such as the Remse family.
As for the Lanting family, they were only strong within Wenlan City. Outside of Wenlan City, they were inferior to the Wenmos family.
This was because even a mere butler from the main Wenmos family was qualified to reprimand the head of a branch.
Headquarters and branches were entirely different.
Only those family members with little potential were sent to branches to manage peripheral affairs.
And now, the Wenmos family was holding a grand banquet, yet members of a minor branch dared to come, how laughable.
"Tell them to leave."
After speaking, the old butler walked into the estate with his hands behind his back.
"Yes."
Two Wenmos family guards quickly walked towards the helicopter's landing site.
