The moment everyone inside the room heard those words they turned their heads towards the source of the words, to look at the fool who dared to talk in this place.
With the three masters in the podium, none of them were eligible to have a say in this place, some of them didn't even dare to think.
Yet one person had dared to open his mouth and dare to say something in this big meeting where no one dared.
Looking at the guy who spoke a moment ago, the crowd was disappointed to see that he didn't look anything special, he was just an average guy, as a matter of fact, he looked even lower than average.
There were few to no people inside this big room that knew that kid. As facts had it, he was just the descendant of some third rate family.
His name wasn't really important, and nobody would have cared about him before he spoke earlier that is.
The reason he had decided to speak was that apparently his father and his grandfather had gone with the attacking teams, thinking this was an opportunity for them, but now they were caught.
If they didn't return back, then his family would probably fall lower, and they would need a lot of time, and effort to reach their previous standing.
Of course, as soon as they saw that he was just an average kid, from a third rate family, there were a lot of people in the crowd who were 'rightfully angered at him, and his guts.
"Who do you think you are kid!?"
"Since when it's your turn to speak!?"
"Are you tired of living or something!?"
The whole lot of them, that liked to bully the weak and fear the strong, started screaming in indignation at the audacity of this weak worm in front of them.
The truth was that they were trying to show themselves in the eyes of the big families, they were shameless people who wanted to recognition through their bullying.
Of course, their words, and way of acting were enough to satisfy the vanity of the people from the big families, as it should.
Since Young Master Qin Tuo was missing in this gathering, his second brother was thinking of earning some extra points today.
This was a perfect chance for him to show his strength, and get his father's recognition, as he immediately jumped off his seat and made his way towards the person that had spoken a moment ago.
While most of the people in the room were thinking of using words, and humiliation against that guy, the Second Young Master of the Qin family was thinking of using his strength.
The young man who had just spoken seemed to expect something like this, there were vultures all around him, and this was a dog eats dog world.
What he didn't expect was that the Second Young Master of the Qin family would be coming for him, using his strength of the 7th level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
But even looking at this guy coming full of hate and anger, using all his strength towards him, he didn't seem to be scared in the least.
He just positioned himself better on his feet and waited with a calm look for his opponent to come attacking at him.
On the other hand, the Second Young Master of the Qin family seemed to be elated that this guy wasn't running away, as only like that he could show his great strength and potential.
At the same time, he was thinking that this kid was an idiot for staying there and not running, there was no way he could be a match for him.
"Kid, say your prayers! It was a big mistake talking where you shouldn't!"
Right after the sounding of his words, his powerful punch, combined with the Martial Skill of their clan connected with something.
Immediately after, a big cloud of dust arose inside the room, as a lot of people and chairs were either crushed to dust or sent flying.
Differently from the crowd's expectations though, that young man didn't go flying towards the door, in a bad shape.
No! He was still standing in his earlier position, he hadn't even moved a millimeter from where he was. As for the petrified punch of Second Young Master Qin, it was safely caught in his hand.
He had only used one hand, to prevent that powerful attack of the Second Young Master Qin. This left the whole crowd dumbstruck, not to mention of Second Young Master Qin.
He was in an even worse situation than others could see because his fist was caught by the young man in front of him, and he couldn't even retrieve it back.
He couldn't understand what was going on in there. Just who the hell was this guy, he seemed many times more powerful than he was.
Everyone inside the room didn't know what to think, they had never thought that this plain-looking guy would be such a dark horse.
Even the three big families were stunned by what they had in front of them. This young man came from a third rate family, and yet he had such strength at his age.
He didn't even look to be 25, and yet he was so strong. He had the cultivation of at least 5th level of the Golden Core Realm.
Only the true geniuses of the big families or big organizations could reach such a height at his age because they had the resources at hand to achieve that.
But this kid came from such a humble background, and yet he was so powerful. There were two possibilities, either he had a great opportunity, or he had endless potential.
Both of these were extremely precious to the three families, and from a mongrel, he became a blinding firefly in front of their eyes, that they would kill to capture.
Even the Qin family Master whose son was still in his grasp didn't seem to be mad at him, on the contrary, he had a sly smile on his face.
"Young Man you are truly a dragon amidst men, not only do you have the courage to talk, but you also possess the power to back your words.
This old man is ashamed of himself for failing to see such a precious stone in front of him. Let my son go, and then tell us your thoughts.
This old man shall assure you that no one else will try anything funny against you!"
His tone was calm, curious, and gentle as if he was talking to one of his sons' and not some strange average kid of some third rate family.
The two men beside him were startled at first, but how could they not understand what was going on, Master Qin had plans to make that guy part of his family.
They had the same thoughts as Master Qin, but they didn't expect him to be so sly and make an approach so quickly.
"My Yao family also assures you that everyone will silently hear your opinion."
Yao family Master Yao Wu couldn't lose this chance either, as he had a crazy thought of making this weird kid the guardian of his useless son.
His son would be the one to inherit everything from him, and if he had such a powerful guardian behind him, then he could keep his status, and power, until a grandson was born.
"While my words seem useless after everything is said and done, I also can vouch for the same thing!"
The Tang family elder felt bad that he hadn't been able to say something from the start, but the game had just begun, he was assured that his Tang family had more than enough to recruit this kid.
Soon enough his family would have an extra genius in their hands, and would slowly grow to reach new heights.
Not to mention if this kid had some strange inheritance or cultivation technique that would help them grow faster, and bigger.
One day his family would become the true overlord of China, and everyone else would be under their feet. He had a strange thought, that if he secured this kid, then this would become a reality.
At this time, the young man who still had the Second Young Master of the Qin family in his hands, showed a slight self-mocking smile, and a sigh, as he released the trash he had in his hand.
"Sigh~! Truly might makes right in this world."
Then completely ignoring the Second Young Master of the Qin family, he made a slight bow towards the podium, as he started speaking once again.
"Thank you Esteemed Masters for your magnanimity, and support to this uneducated child. It's just that part of the captives are my father, and grandfather and sorrow blinded my eyes for a moment.
This one thinks, that Esteemed Master's should allow the small families to go and retrieve their people themselves!"
While his words seemed humble, and he was berating himself, no one there dared to think that this guy was that humble, or that weak, and uneducated. He was just keeping his position.
When the whole crowd could understand this, how could the three Masters not understand it? As they were pleased with this attitude and also interested in his words.
"Oh, that seems like an interesting thought, care to elaborate Young Master?"
Master Qin was the head of this gathering, no one had doubts about it, and hearing his way of directing the young man, the whole crowd understood that this young man's future was boundless.
Differently from their expectations, the young man didn't seem to be excited by the new way of directing as he continued speaking.
"Well it's easy actually, the three Esteemed Master's could allow all the other families, to go and trade for their people back, and this way you wouldn't have to take responsibility for what happened.
It's true that your people would be left behind, but once our people are back, we can find their whereabouts, and attack with a more powerful force this time to retrieve them."
His words truly made sense, and it was a really good plan, but at that time, some messenger came running inside the room with a rough breath…
