chapter 4 Prepare a coffin

After leaving the Tang family, Camellia Tang's face was filled with tears as she cried, "Ellison, I'm sorry. I'm so useless. I can't even make decisions about my own marriage."
Ellison Jiang held her hand and said, "Grandfather said that as long as I can secure a contract with Qian Jun Group, he will acknowledge you as my wife."
"But, that's Qian Jun Group," Camellia Tang said with worry.
As a resident of Jiang Zhong, she knew the significance of Qian Jun Group, a multinational corporation that had recently established itself in Jiang Zhong.
Most of Qian Jun Group's contracts were controlled by the four major families of Jiang Zhong.
Ellison Jiang smiled and said, "We won't know if it's possible unless we try."
Camellia Tang suddenly remembered something and said, "I just remembered, I have a high school classmate who works at Qian Jun Group as a department manager. I can contact her and ask her to introduce us. Maybe we can meet with the high-ranking officials of Qian Jun Group."
"Okay."
Holding hands, the two of them headed home.
Camellia Tang's house was in the same residential area as the Tang family's villa. However, the Tang family's headquarters was in the villa, while Camellia Tang's family lived in a high-rise residential complex.
As they walked back, they noticed that Camellia Tang's mother, Fawn He, had returned, but she refused to let Ellison Jiang enter their home.
Ellison Jiang had no choice but to say, "Camellia, I'll go back for now."
Camellia Tang nodded reluctantly.
Their top priority was to secure the contract with Qian Jun Group and have Tang's family acknowledge Ellison Jiang's identity.
Once inside the house, Camellia Tang began to contact her long-lost classmate, while Ellison Jiang returned to the Imperial Residence, the most exclusive villa area in Jiang Zhong.
He sat on the couch, smoking a cigarette, and then dialed a number.
"Summon the Chairman of Qian Jun Group to the Imperial Residence."
He originally didn't want to use the privileges of the Dragon Commander.
However, if he wanted to secure a contract with Qian Jun Group, he had no choice.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a suit, slightly chubby, and bald, arrived at the Imperial Residence.
"Dragon... Dragon Commander..." The man entered the residence and immediately knelt on the ground.
He was the person in charge of Qian Jun Group in Jiang Zhong, a member of the Ye family from Beijing, named Luby Ye.
Before coming here, he had already learned the identity of the person he was going to meet.
This was the fearsome Dragon Commander, a legendary figure known for his prowess in battle, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.
Facing such a formidable person, Luby Ye didn't dare to be negligent. After kneeling on the ground, he felt his spine breaking out in cold sweat.
"Luby Ye?"
Ellison Jiang put down the documents and glanced at the middle-aged man kneeling before him. He raised his hand slightly, indicating for him to stand up.
"Yes, Dragon Commander!" Luby Ye quickly got up, his forehead covered in sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it.
At this moment, he was trembling with fear, not knowing where he had offended this fearsome figure or why he had been summoned.
"Tomorrow, my wife, Camellia Tang, will visit Qian Jun Group to request a thirty-million-dollar contract. You must personally receive her, and there should be no room for any neglect or delay," Ellison Jiang instructed calmly.
Upon hearing this, Luby Ye heaved a sigh of relief. He wore a flattering smile and said, "Dragon Commander, no problem at all! Even if it's a three-hundred-billion-dollar contract, as long as you require it, I will gladly present it with both hands."
"Remember, my wife is Camellia Tang, from the Tang family," Ellison Jiang instructed.
"I've got it," the man replied.
"You're dismissed, go."
"Yes."
Luby Ye, feeling as if he had been granted clemency, quickly left.
After leaving the Imperial Residence, he was soaked in sweat.
As a member of the Ye family from Beijing and the person in charge of Qian Jun Group in Jiang Zhong, even the four major families of Jiang Zhong would treat him with great respect and caution. However, when facing Ellison Jiang, he had no pride or dignity left.
After Luby Ye left, Ellison Jiang stood up and muttered to himself, "I've been back for over ten days and still haven't paid my respects."
He walked out of the Imperial Residence, planning to take a taxi to the ruins of the Jiang family's estate on the outskirts of the city.
However, he noticed an unlicensed business car parked at the entrance of the residence, with a dark-skinned man standing in front of it wearing a black vest.
Ellison Jiang approached and gave Lucas a disdainful look.
"Didn't I tell you to take your brothers back?"
"Hehe, Dragon Commander, the others have already returned to the southern wilderness, but I chose to stay behind. Dragon Commander, please let me stay," Lucas replied.
"Call me Brother Jiang, there's no Dragon Commander in Jiang Zhong."
"Got it."
"Go to the Jiang family cemetery."
"Brother Jiang, please get in the car."
...
Soon, Ellison Jiang arrived at the location of the former Jiang family villa.
The once majestic villa had been burned to ashes, replaced by a series of graves.
The former leading family of Jiang Zhong had become a desolate ruin.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and heavy rain poured down relentlessly.
Standing in front of the Jiang family cemetery was a young man wearing a brown windbreaker, with another man holding an umbrella for him.
Splash.
Ellison Jiang knelt down instantly.
Ten years ago, the Jiang family had been the number one family in Jiang Zhong.
At that time, he was eighteen years old.
His father had married a stepmother for him that year.
Her name was Cara Xiao, and she was now the head of the four major families in Jiang Zhong, the Xiao family.
Cara Xiao planned to get into his grandfather's bed and falsely accused him of drugging her, which ruined his grandfather's reputation and made the Jiang family a laughing stock in Jiang Zhong.
In the same year, Cara Xiao reported her dad for corruption. This made her dad so angry that he had a heart attack, but instead of getting him medical help, Cara Xiao pushed him from the third floor.
She then spread the word that his dad, Noah Jiang, had committed suicide out of guilt.
After his father Noah Jiang died, the four major families led by the Xiao family gathered at the Jiang residence.
They were responsible for his grandfather's death and captured over thirty members of the Jiang family.
They demanded the priceless ancient treasure, the "Dwelling in the Mount Huayue," which had been passed down in the Jiang family for a thousand years.
After obtaining the "Dwelling in the Mount Huayue", the four major families burned down the Jiang residence and divided up the Jiang family's assets.
"Dad, you are guilty. You are a sinner of the Jiang family. You should not marry Cara Xiao. You should not bring this greedy woman home..."
Ellison Jiang knelt in front of the grave and cried loudly.
Who says that a man's tears don't easily fall? It's just that they haven't reached the point of deep sadness yet.
He hated his father. It was his father who fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have loved, which led to the demise of the Jiang family.
He hates Cara Xiao, and even more so the four major families: the Xiao family, the Wang family, the Zhao family, and the Zhou family.
It was these four major families that turned the Jiang family members into lost souls.
"Grandfather, you died unjustly, I swear, I will make sure to bring the leaders of the four major families to pay tribute to the souls of the Jiang family."
"Dragon Commander, my condolences," said Lucas, holding an umbrella behind him.
He had never seen Ellison Jiang so heartbroken, never seen the mighty Black Dragon reveal such a side.
Even in the face of thousands of troops, he had never been afraid, but now he wept like a person overwhelmed by tears.
"Dragon Commander, tonight, the Xiao Family's Trachinoid Group is hosting a celebration banquet. They're celebrating the permanent agreement signed between Trachinoid Group and Qian Jun Group. From now on, Qian Jun Group's orders will be given priority to the Trachinoid Group. Only after the Trachinoid Group selects them will they be made available to other groups. Today is also the 80th birthday of the Xiao family patriarch, so they're combining the celebration banquet with his birthday party."
"Trachinoid Group..."
Ellison Jiang clenched his fists.
Trachinoid Group is his Jiang family's property.
Now, it has become the private property of the Xiao family.
He stood up slowly, with a murderous intent on his resolute face.
"Prepare a coffin, go to the Xiao family's residence, and collect interest."
