When the first rays of the morning sun shone into thousands of households, the major family forces in Dragon Capital had already received a shocking piece of news.
Old Madam Wang was dead.
Her death was like a single stone stirring a thousand ripples, poised to change the power dynamics across most of Dragon Capital.
Although the Wang Family was merely one of Capital City's lower eight families and couldn't compare to the strength of the Upper Eight Families, they were still an absolute colossus to any ordinary family.
In the eyes of outsiders, a great family that had suddenly lost its leader was nothing more than a tender, fragrant, and juicy piece of meat, stewed to perfection.
Setting aside the number of cultivators in the Wang Family, its economic enterprises alone were enough to drive countless other families mad with envy.
