Half a day had passed since the great battle at the Zhou Family estate, but the major families throughout Capital City, regardless of their district, were still reeling from the shock.
Qiao Jin, the Patriarch of the Qiao Family, struggled back to North City with Qiao Yinglong and Qiao Yingfei. The moment he returned, he sealed the gates to the family estate and issued a strict order: for the next month, without his express command, no member of the Qiao Family was to take a single step outside. Anyone who disobeyed would be held accountable.
Many of the families in North City were completely baffled. Those who didn't know the full story had no idea what had just happened. What could possibly have driven the patriarch of North City's most powerful family to make such a drastic decision?
