Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The Fan family, as the fifth most influential family in Magic City, despite their assets nearing a hundred billion, still had an incomparable gap in reputation and status with the big four families of Magic City.

This gap might take decades of accumulation to bridge, but now, with the Fan family fully clinging to Chu Mo's powerful support, they finally saw an opportunity for a comprehensive rise!

The reason Lin family of Magic City could become the top family, with assets exceeding three hundred billion, was in part thanks to the two hundred and sixty-three jewelry stores spread across the country, providing half of their strength.

Under normal circumstances, if the Fan brothers wanted to compete with the Lin family, aiming to take over the Lin family's share of jewelry sales, it was nothing but a pipe dream, with vast amounts of assets involved that the Fan family simply could not shoulder.

And now, with Chu Mo, a powerful backer behind them, the Fan family possessed the possibility of usurping the Lin family's place in Magic City.

If the Fan family could completely squeeze out the Lin family's share in the jewelry industry, the Lin family's assets would shrink by at least a hundred billion in scale, while the Fan family could rise up, with total assets possibly exceeding two hundred billion.

Even if they still couldn't compare with the Lin family, they would surpass the other big three families of Magic City by a large margin.

At that time, the Fan family would leap directly to become a member of the new big four families of Magic City!

Such an opportunity, for a person, for a family, might only come once in a lifetime, seize it, and soar to the heavens, looking down on all!

If they failed to grasp it, Fan Gao even had a premonition that there might never be another chance for the Fan family to rise again!

At this moment, the usually expressionless Fan Gao's face unusually took on a serious look, his pair of pitch-black eyes revealed a glint of undisguised excitement. He slightly bowed his head, sounding even more respectful as the powerful man said:

"Mr. Chu, rest assured, I will convince my brother as soon as I return tonight. We will use all of the Fan family's power to fully accomplish the tasks Mr. Chu has assigned. The two hundred and sixty-three stores will be established in the shortest time possible without causing any delay to Mr. Chu's grand plans!"

Upon hearing this, the frustration at the bottom of his heart completely vanished, and Chu Mo, feeling clear-headed and refreshed, nodded slightly. He gently adjusted the golden glasses on the bridge of his nose and, with a shimmer of sharpness in his eyes, his voice softened as he said:

"Since the Fan family is willing to trust me, Chu Mo, I will not let you suffer losses. Let me be clear, as long as you have no double dealing, I guarantee that within three years, you will become the number one family in Magic City.

Whether it is assets or influence you will not be inferior to the current Lin family. I, Chu Mo, rarely make promises to others, but once I do, I will do everything in my power to fulfill them.

Similarly, now that the Fan family has taken my side, my only request is that you do not become turncoats like the Lin family. If one day you feel strong enough and wish to betray me, the Lin family's fate will be yours!"

Fan Gao bowed deeply, his voice resolute as he said:

"Mr. Chu, rest assured, my entire Fan family has no second thoughts. I, Fan Gao, am willing to follow Mr. Chu to the death!"

Chu Mo gave an imperceptible nod and said no more.

He was not fond of threatening others, nor did he like boastful words. He believed that time would reveal a person's true character; just a couple of appropriate warnings were enough, so he said no more.

What the Fan family would do in the future was a matter for time to prove!

If the Fan family was sensible and knew when to advance or retreat, Chu Mo would not mind giving them a hand. Having such an errand boy would make his own endeavors much more convenient, and he would keep his word—supporting the Fan family to become the first family in Magic City was just a simple effort for him.

But, if the Fan family didn't know when to stop, playing both sides, Chu Mo could easily send the whole Fan family into hell with a mere gesture, just like he would with the Lin family!

As for the final decision, it was still up to the Fan brothers to make.

Upon casually orchestrating his counterattack against the Lin family, Chu Mo cast them out of his mind.

Although the Lin family was the foremost among the four major families of Modu, their foundation lay solely in Modu. If Chu Mo wanted to take action against the Lin family, with the full support of unlimited "money" at his disposal, their downfall would merely be a matter of time; Lin Youzhi was not a cause for concern.

What truly deserved Chu Mo's attention were the eight great families, each with assets reaching up into the trillions.

Chu Mo's rapid rise had obviously begun to affect the interests of these eight families, and they would absolutely not tolerate a new family challenging their status, so suppression was almost inevitable.

Chu Mo was also aware that confrontation with the eight great families was unavoidable.

Since that was the case, a clash was inevitably on the horizon.

Destroying the Lin family was just the first step for Chu Mo, a stone cast to test the waters, which had no impact on the eight great families. What he was contemplating now was how to truly make the eight great families feel the pain!

Ominous heavy clouds obscured the warm sun above, and the surroundings immediately darkened considerably.

In that moment, Chu Mo's face appeared somewhat gloomy. His gaze was deep and serene, and his entire presence emitted an icy and powerful aura.

Around him, several dozen towering bodyguards remained vigilant, while a few close aides beside him dared not even breathe too loudly.

At this time, inside the jewelry store's grand hall, the impeccably dressed, gold-star saleswoman Sun Mengqi had already turned pale. Despair and regret filled her tender eyes, making her seem like a small boat in a stormy sea, about to be destroyed at any moment.

Sun Mengqi's breathing had become nearly imperceptible, her mind a complete muddle.

She didn't understand, could it really be that a mere minor mistake she had made earlier, just her naivety, could bring such an apocalyptic strike to the Supreme Jewelry Store company?

She was even more puzzled as to what Mr. Chu really wanted from her.

If it was because of her, she had already pleaded in a low voice, even willing to sacrifice everything, so why did he still relentlessly push for such utter annihilation?

At this instant, even breathing felt incredibly difficult for Sun Mengqi as she looked around. She saw her colleagues, with whom she'd worked side by side for years, all wearing faces of panic; she saw the store managers who had been kind to her, all turned ashen…!

She took a deep breath. Then, with no expressions on her face, Sun Mengqi, the stunning beauty, walked slowly to the young man's side. Her eyes clear and resolute, her voice careful and gentle, she said,

"Mr. Chu, every single fault is mine alone, please punish only me!"

The earnest saleswoman's eyes held a trace of despair. Her complexion was calm, but her entire being was gradually losing vitality and life!

Contemplating something, Chu Mo turned his head, glanced casually at the beautiful woman before him, his brows slightly raised. Then, in an indifferent voice, he said,

"Do you think too highly of yourself?"

With those words said, he did not speak another sentence and moved forward, striding towards the luxurious lineup of cars in front of him!

From this moment on, the counterattack against the eight great families had begun!
