The Tianlong Chamber of Commerce intended to establish a business alliance, and the news, upon circulating within the chamber, captivated all its members. Consequently, the attendance today was substantial, with almost all members of the Xingcheng Chamber of Commerce present.
Ye Longlin’s gaze swept around. This chamber of commerce was quite mysterious.
“Did you hear? The mysterious CEO of Yuanzhan Capital has an extremely powerful network of connections behind him. It's said that a prominent figure from the Southern Province is backing him. Otherwise, how could they have hoarded land, thousands of mu at that, with absolutely no prior news?”
“Who knows? Anyway, Xingcheng isn’t a place we can control anymore. It seems like many things are within our grasp, but in reality, the final say rests with the top echelon of people.”
“Well said. Look at yesterday, after Ye Longlin’s identity was exposed, even the Juling Group was rarely bothered. Now, only truly important figures dare to cause trouble for the Juling Group, after all, he’s an assemblyman!”
The surrounding people nodded in agreement.
Ye Longlin mingled in the crowd, listening to their discussions about him, and he merely smiled faintly.
The Tianlong Chamber of Commerce was indeed quite mysterious. They even wore masks upon entry.
This was not a conference room. The entire place had unplastered floors and walls, making it extremely crude.
“Vice President.”
“Vice President.”
As they were discussing, a man wearing an evil ghost mask walked out from the side. Everyone respectfully addressed him.
The man with the evil ghost mask nodded, then looked at everyone and said in a hoarse voice, “Thank you all for coming to the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce despite your busy schedules. This meeting is convened to address the pattern of the Xingcheng business community. I believe the current Xingcheng pattern is not what you all wish to see, therefore, I have decided to establish a business alliance to counter the four major groups.”
“The Tianlong Chamber of Commerce upholds…”
Yuan Gang was once an instructor for Dongfang Feilong. During a certain battle, they were ambushed, and all of Dongfang Feilong’s soldiers perished. Only Yuan Gang survived and confined himself to a dark room for half a year.
At that time, the Dragon Pavilion was established, and Yuan Gang’s existence naturally appeared on Ye Longlin’s desk.
He was Dongfang Feilong’s instructor, so his formidable skills were beyond question.
“This is interesting. A ‘回’ shape has formed around the four walls of the main hall. It seems this business alliance meeting today will not be peaceful.”
Yuan Gang narrowed his eyes, looking at the surveillance cameras overhead, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
With his abilities, these surveillance cameras could not possibly capture him; they were as good as non-existent.
“Ye Longlin is in the crowd. I want to know which one he is. Having the Sixth Guardian assassinate him will also serve as a deterrent to the capital. That esteemed person will rise rapidly, and we will also completely enter the sight of the higher-ups.”
“We are investigating. With our current strength, it’s somewhat difficult to pinpoint Ye Longlin. However, if we obtain some information, such as his height, weight, and build, it should be manageable based on these factors, as not many would match.”
“Once you find him, have the Sixth Guardian act immediately. I refuse to believe he can survive the Sixth Guardian!”
Yuan Gang suddenly overheard the conversation of two people and was taken aback. Then, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.
The Tianlong Chamber of Commerce seemed to be more complex than anticipated. They dared to openly target the boss, which indicated that someone was definitely behind them, and this person must be extraordinary, at least capable of withstanding retaliation from the Dragon Pavilion.
Alternatively, perhaps they could offer considerable benefits in this power struggle.
“Regarding the Lin Tian’ai matter, handle it yourselves. The Juling Group has significant influence. Lin Langsheng contacted many people on the day of his death, and it’s currently unclear whom he contacted. This is Lin Langsheng’s contingency plan.”
“A mere Juling Group cannot last long under Meihua’s targeted attack. Once the Juling Group defaults on its loan, under compulsory execution, even Ye Longlin cannot change it. Coupled with Meihua Group’s sniping, the Juling Group will have no choice but to yield.
This series of combined blows will cripple Ye Longlin. The business world is not something for a crude martial artist like him to play in; it requires a brain.”
Two voices sounded again. Yuan Gang’s lips curved into an icy smile. He placed a hand on the wall, unleashing his internal energy. With a boom, the wall instantly shattered, creating a large hole.
Yuan Gang slowly walked in, his cold eyes surveying them with a chilling gaze. “Who gave you the audacity to attack Mr. Ye?”
As he spoke, he drew a dagger from his back.
The two inside, the moment the wall broke, gathered their internal energy and lunged at Yuan Gang. However, within a meter of Yuan Gang, they could advance no further!
“Grandmaster level!”
The two were utterly horrified, shock and fear appearing in their eyes. They turned to flee, but they had no chance of escape.
“Can you run away?”
Yuan Gang stomped his foot, the dagger flashing a cold light, instantly severing one person’s arm. He then delivered a whip kick towards the other.
Rather than a kick, it was more like a smash!
Immense power!
“Boom!”
The person was smashed by Yuan Gang in the chest, their back hitting the wall, creating a large hole!
Yuan Gang let out a disdainful laugh. “You pathetic wretches, daring to plot against the boss? Tell me, who is behind you?”
“You don’t deserve to know, hahahaha!”
The person whose arm was severed burst into laughter, showing no fear of death.
Yuan Gang’s eyes turned cold. The dagger in his hand sliced through a major artery, ending the man’s life. He looked down at the person who had been smashed against the wall.
“Your turn.”
The man sneered, moving his mouth. Then, his head tilted to the side, and black blood seeped from his mouth.
Yuan Gang crouched down, cupped the man’s mouth, and frowned.
“Death warriors! Only someone truly extraordinary could afford to raise death warriors. It seems the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce is quite deep-seated!”
He took out a specialized earpiece and reported the situation here to Ye Longlin, including the impending assassination by the Sixth Guardian.
Ye Longlin looked at the people beside him and narrowed his eyes. In an instant, he understood some things.
The Tianlong Chamber of Commerce was very mysterious. Many local groups in Xingcheng didn’t even know of its existence. Their secrecy was well-maintained, but how could such a chamber of commerce be known so easily?
And to the extent of announcing the establishment of a business alliance, such a major event.
Furthermore, they were extremely certain that he would be present, and there was only one person involved in this!
Zhang Xiao!
Either Zhang Xiao was being manipulated, or he had betrayed him.
