Chapter 678: Chapter 327: The Power Behind the Scenes? Tax Issues?_1
“In my presence, you still dare to be so presumptuous.”
“Are you seeking death?”
Ma Zhong looked coldly at those Drunken Moon Pavilion’s thugs, along with that somewhat unhealthy looking man with a pale face.
His words carried a slight chill as he spoke.
“You?”
Upon hearing these words, the pale-faced man in purple couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly.
A look of concern flashed across his eyes.
Who exactly was this person?
Could it really be the current Family Head of the Ma Family from Dai Mountain City, Ma Zhong, the only remaining member of the three great families?
At that thought, the color drained further from the man in purple.
Originally, he had seen that current Family Head of the Ma Family from a great distance by chance.
However, the distance had been too far.

As a result, his memory of the appearance of the current Family Head of the Ma Family, Ma Zhong, wasn’t particularly clear.
Yes, the person before him.
Indeed had a three-point resemblance to the Ma Family’s current Family Head from one of the three great families of Dai Mountain City.
But…
If this person really were the current Family Head of the Ma Family, the only remaining member of the three great families of Dai Mountain City, why would he stand so humbly beside a junior, not even daring to sit?
Especially when, since yesterday, the Wei Family, the head of the three great families of Dai Mountain City, and the Chen Family, one of the three great families, had been taken care of.
This vast Dai Mountain City could almost be said to regard the Ma Family of Dai Mountain City with the highest respect.
In this vast city, countless family powers’ leaders who wish to meet Ma Zhong, the current Family Head of the Ma Family, lack the qualifications to do so.
Under such circumstances, how could Ma Zhong, the current Family Head of the Ma Family, stand so humbly beside an unknown junior?
The only explanation.
That is… he was pretending.
He was impersonating Ma Zhong, the current Family Head of the Ma Family.
Attempting by this, to scare them off and make their escape.
With this in mind, the pale-faced man in purple could hardly suppress the laughter in his heart and let out a laugh.
“Do you really think I’m foolish?”
“Just like this, you want to make your escape?”
“Isn’t this wishful thinking a bit too optimistic?”
With a cold voice, the pale-faced man in purple waved his hand, issuing the order to attack.
Those Drunken Moon Pavilion’s thugs lacked insight.
So even in the presence of the current Family Head of the Ma Family, one of the three great families of Dai Mountain City, they naturally couldn’t recognize him.
…
The next moment.
The thugs rushed towards Ma Zhong and the direction where Luo Yao was.
Ma Zhong’s face was stiff, his complexion turning inky black.
His clenched fists were already creaking.
Drunken Moon Pavilion, Drunken Moon Pavilion, Drunken Moon Pavilion…
This Drunken Moon Pavilion was truly being a bit too ignorant.
Did they really think that by relying on the power behind them,
they could be so disdainful of everyone?
Even to the point of not regarding him, the current Family Head of the Ma Family, with any respect?
Meanwhile, inside the only room, next to the round table.
There sat Luo Yao, silently eating dishes and drinking wine.
At this moment, he let out a soft sigh.
Turning his head, he looked at those steadily approaching him.
After a moment of silence, with a somewhat helpless expression, he muttered softly, “Does it have to be this way?”
“Do you really have to force me like this?”
“Ever since entering this Dai Mountain City, there hasn’t been a moment’s peace.”
Shaking his head,
Luo Yao no longer paid attention to those Drunken Moon Pavilion thugs who were rushing towards him.
He merely bowed his head slightly, savoring the delicacies on the table,
trying to fill his stomach first.
Though since his arrival in Dai Mountain City, such trouble hasn’t ceased one bit after another,
his internal organs,
need to be properly taken care of, right?
…
About a cup of tea’s time later,
the noise of the scuffle slowly subsided.
Inside the Drunken Moon Pavilion,
Having nearly finished his meal, Luo Yao quietly put down his eating utensils and then stretched his body a little.
It wasn’t until his body made a series of cracking sounds that,
he slowly exhaled a somewhat turbid breath.
“Comfortable…”
Luo Yao murmured softly.
And as he turned his head, one could see,
the thugs from the Drunken Moon Pavilion,
were now scattered about the ground.
A noticeable wound at each of their necks,
with dark red blood slowly pooling on the floor.
A rich and pungent smell of blood began to spread around the room.
The woman who had been playing the guzheng, her face covered with a veil,
now seemed to have been frightened into idiocy.
Standing in place, motionless.
“To eat a meal, to end up like this.”
“To engage in a simple chat about taxes, to provoke such turmoil.”
“It seems that this Drunken Moon Pavilion…”
“is really not simple.”
Luo Yao turned his head and asked the silent Ma Zhong beside him in a low voice, “Family Head Ma, don’t you think so?”
Ma Zhong nodded somewhat stiffly.
He then followed Luo Yao and Luo Ze out of the Drunken Moon Pavilion.
After all, with the Drunken Moon Pavilion having become such a mess,
where could they possibly stay any longer?
…
In a small courtyard of Dai Mountain City,
Luo Yao returned to the courtyard and sat silently beneath the Stone Pavilion.
With eyes slightly squinted, his expression was quite serene as he watched the distant horizon.
