Chapter 1104: Chapter 398: Red-Eyed Evil Dragon Chapter 1104: Chapter 398: Red-Eyed Evil Dragon “The goodwill of the Xiang Family is worthless to the Ye Family of Da Lin.”

Although he didn’t understand why Xiang Loulan thought the Xiang Family’s goodwill was so valuable, Xiang Ange had no qualms about bursting his son’s unrealistic bubble, “Between noble families, there are only interests, no such thing as goodwill. I formed a close relationship with Ye Qingcang simply because the Xiang Family was related to the Yun Clan, and several Yun merchants wielded significant influence within the Da Lin Commerce Alliance. What personal feelings were there?”

“Now you want to use this little connection to get the Da Lin Commerce Alliance to give up a stable annual income worth hundreds of millions in gold and to make an enemy of the new power in Longzhou. Do you think such a deal could be struck?”

“Given Ye Qingcang’s character, if I really sent him a letter, the moment my message arrived, he would immediately inflate grain prices. If the Longxi Alliance starts asking questions, he would blame us, claiming that Chaochang is putting pressure on the Da Lin Commerce Alliance.”

Showing his white teeth, Xiang Ange coldly chuckled, “When that time comes, the Xiang Family will bear the wrath of Longxi, while the Ye Family swallows the profits from the price hike. That’s a merchant for you.”

Xiang Ange was somewhat disappointed, not knowing whether the idea to pressure the Longxi Alliance was conceived by Duan Longcheng or himself. Such a flawed plan was truly hard to endure.

But in the end, it was his own son. Xiang Ange didn’t want to be too harsh. Instead, he reminded him, “Do you know why the Evil King Palace came to Chaochang to conspire with our clan against the Longxi Alliance?”

“Isn’t it because Duan Longshu was humiliated by Tang Luo, leading Duan Longcheng to plot revenge against the Tang Family?”

Such simplistic thinking; how could it be of grand use? Xiang Ange sighed and said, “If it were just for revenge, Duan Longcheng would not have condescended to come to Chaochang!”

“Then why?”
