Zhang Xin humbly greeted every representative from the reclusive families as they were all older than him.

Then, he told them his intentions and explained why he gathered everyone here today.

After listening to Zhang Xin’s description and plan, all of them were silent.

After a long while, one of them asked Zhang Xin: “Are you talking about Jian Yiling, the Dean of Lahaisen Hospital?”

The old man who spoke up was the current head of the Situ family. The Situ family used to make weapons. During war times, they made large contributions to their country. And even though they were quiet nowadays, they still contributed to weapons manufacturing.

!!

Although the current head of the Situ family was not tall, he had an arrogance that seemingly made him look down on everyone.

“That’s right,” Zhang Xin said with certainty.

“So you gathered us to deal with Lahaisen Hospital?” Situ Zhong said with disdain.

“Yep.”

“Head of the Zhang family, I truly overestimated you,” Situ Zhong sighed and shook his head with a disappointed look on his face.

“What do you mean by that?” Zhang Xin responded somewhat angrily. He hated being looked down upon.

Situ Zhong replied enigmatically: “At first, I thought you were interested in Jian Yiling because of that matter. However, you were only interested in Lahaisen Hospital. What was I even expecting? The Zhang family was only known for their medicine. Your vision of the future is limited.”

“That’s quite true,” the others echoed. They expressed their agreement with Situ Zhong’s point of view.

“What exactly do you guys mean?” Zhang Xin said in an angry and puzzled tone.

If they didn’t come for Lahaisen Hospital, what did they all gather in Beijing for?

“As expected, the Zhang family knows nothing at all. Well, at the very least, do you know about the Goodman family?”

“The Goodman family? What about them?”

“Recently Anna, the future successor of the Goodman family arrived in Beijing with their family compass. At the same time, it’s rumored that the secret behind the compass has been finally solved. Do you know how many treasures were hidden away?”

Even though Zhang Xin did not know the details, he knew about the countless treasures the Goodman family possessed. The Goodman family had risen during the Medieval Period in Europe.

“But… Does that have anything to do with us?” Zhang Xin asked.

“I thought you summoned us to Beijing for the Goodman family’s treasures. However, it turns out you only had eyes for Lahaisen Hospital. Do you not think you’re short-sighted? Is Jian Yiling that much of a problem?”

Despite being annoyed, Zhang Xin could not refute their words.

If they found the Goodman family’s treasures, it would indeed be worth much more than Jian Yiling’s Lahaisen Hospital.

“But that’s the Goodman family… Can we really deal with them…?” Zhang Xin asked hesitantly.

He wasn’t scared of Jian Yiling. However, the Goodman family was a different beast to handle.

Situ Zhong replied: “Well, you should have a think about whether you want to join us and compete for this great treasure. In recent years after the annihilation of the Xie family, the reclusive families have already faded out of the limelight. Even though our power and influence are still here right now, can you guarantee that in ten years or twenty years from now, our power and influence will still have an effect? Aren’t you yourself a good example? Lahaisen Hospital has already taken over the Zhang family’s position in the medical world.”

As Zhang Xin was still young, he did not know the glory their families had when the Xie family still existed.

However, everyone else present knew and experienced it.
