Dawn.
After breakfast, Tang Xinxuan was sent to the branch company. Ye Cangtian then contacted Xu Weiwei, asking her to arrange a meeting with Wang Qisheng and Tan Xiuming.
The fact that the two had not yet made a move meant they were either not fully prepared or were waiting for the right opportunity.
Ye Cangtian felt they should not be given more chances and that it was best to cut the Gordian knot.
Therefore, he planned to settle the matter today.
However, just as he was about to leave his house and head towards the family compound, his phone rang.
Seeing the number displayed as "Viper," Ye Cangtian showed a hint of helplessness.
Without a doubt, Viper must have found something. Combined with what Hassal had said before, this information should be related to the Temple of Light.
Perhaps the Temple of Light was about to make another move!
With this thought, Ye Cangtian answered the call. The next moment, Viper's voice came through the phone.
"Boss, the matter of you going to Bright City last time has been exposed. Those guys beat me up..."
"They said if you don't take them with you this time, they'll go by themselves..."
Listening to Viper's words, Ye Cangtian's mind was in a fog. He had no idea what the other party was talking about.
"Viper, what kind of nonsense are you guys up to! Who said I was going to Bright City?"
Ye Cangtian's face turned grim. He still had a lot of things to deal with in the capital, so why would he have the mood to go to Bright City?
Besides, why would he go to Bright City for no reason!
On the other end, hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Viper was stunned.
After a moment, he reacted and quickly said, "Boss, you haven't checked the Battle Net, have you?"
Battle Net?
Ye Cangtian became suspicious. He really hadn't paid much attention to the Battle Net lately.
However, since Viper said so, it meant there must be some big news on the Battle Net, something significant enough to make him go to Bright City.
With that thought, he quickly said, "I'll check the Battle Net first. You guys behave yourselves. If anyone dares to go to Bright City without my order, don't blame me for dealing with you one by one!"
It couldn't be helped. The Death Squad might have lived on the island for too long, becoming too comfortable and bored, so they always wanted to fight with him.
Therefore, he had to issue a stern warning to these people to prevent them from actually going to Bright City and causing any accidents!
After hanging up the phone, Ye Cangtian directly opened the Battle Net.
In just an instant, Ye Cangtian's eyes filled with rage, and a palpable killing aura emanated from him.
The headline on the Battle Net displayed a photo.
The photo showed a transparent cylindrical instrument, about the size of a person, filled with clear liquid. In the middle of the liquid, a human head floated.
It was an old man, with his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.
Below the photo, there was a title: The Head of China's Dragon Leader Xu Zhengguo!
And in the first comment below the title, it read: China has no enemy worthy of respect, and no one dares to defy the might of the Temple of Light!
Combined with Hassal's statement, it was clear that the Pope had made a specimen of Elder Xu's head.
This was not only an insult to Elder Xu but also an insult to China!
Ye Cangtian could not swallow this insult!
"Temple of Light, just you wait!"
Ye Cangtian, too lazy to read the comments below, knew that this news would surely cause a huge stir, and perhaps countless forces would be stirred to action!
Of course, there would also be countless forces waiting for China's response, or preparing to watch the show.
Ye Cangtian ignored all of them. He directly closed the website and headed to the family compound.
Regardless of whether it was for him or for China, the most important thing now was not to respond to these things, but to stabilize the Dragon Group!
Family Compound.
Tan Xiuming and Wang Qisheng arrived one after another.
Xu Weiwei had not concealed the fact that she had invited both of them, so they had a general idea of Xu Weiwei's intentions.
Both of them held letters from the Hidden Group, so they believed that Xu Weiwei intended to make them compete face-to-face, and ultimately decide who would control the Dragon Group.
It was for this reason that Wang Qisheng brought more than a dozen people.
Among these people, two were Earth-level experts, and the rest were at the peak of the Profound level.
They possessed some strength, but more importantly, they were all team leaders within the Dragon Group.
On the other hand, although Tan Xiuming did not bring any team leaders from the Dragon Group, he was accompanied by two Earth-level experts. These were subordinates of Haotian within the Hidden Group.
As an outsider, he would encounter some resistance if he wanted to take over the Dragon Group, so Haotian had specifically assigned him two subordinates for unforeseen circumstances.
Of course, this could also be considered a dowry. Since there were not many Earth-level experts in the Dragon Group, adding two more would also increase the Dragon Group's strength.
Who would refuse such a benefit!
And when the two sides met, although they were mentally prepared, they still started arguing, causing a commotion in the family compound.
They all knew very well that whoever could seize control of the Dragon Group would have a significant boost in status, and it would also bring great benefits to the adults behind them.
Therefore, they had already viewed each other as enemies. If Xu Weiwei were not present, they would have wanted to make a move directly.
As for Xu Weiwei, although she was unwilling to hand over the Dragon Group, in their eyes, Xu Weiwei was not worth mentioning at all.
A young girl with no strength, no ability, and no experience, what kind of storm could she stir up?
On the other hand, as Xu Weiwei watched the two sides argue, she had only one thought: she wished Ye Cangtian would come quickly.
She really couldn't handle this situation!
"Heh heh, quite a bit of gunpowder in the air!"
"Is it that I've arrived at the wrong time? If I were a little later, perhaps I could have witnessed you killing each other?"
Just then, a voice came from outside.
Tan Xiuming and Wang Qisheng, who were confronting each other in the courtyard, immediately stopped and turned their gaze towards the entrance.
The next moment, they indeed saw Ye Cangtian's figure. In an instant, they controlled the anger on their faces.
Because they were well aware that although Xu Weiwei seemed to be acting as the head of the Dragon Group, in reality, the fate of the Dragon Group was in Ye Cangtian's hands.
Furthermore, Ye Cangtian's status in the Hidden Group was not low, and they did not want to cause trouble for the adults behind them.
"Humph!"
Seeing that both sides had stopped arguing, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort and said, "Elder Xu's body has not even cooled, and you are already harboring animosity towards each other to contend for his position. Ask yourselves, are you qualified to take charge of the Dragon Group?"
This...
With these words, Tan Xiuming and Wang Qisheng's expressions changed drastically. Although they were very displeased by the reprimand,
However, this was Elder Xu's home, and they were here for Elder Xu's position. Therefore, no matter what the other party said now, they could only endure it.
At this moment, in their eyes, Ye Cangtian was basically viewed as a third party. Whoever gained Ye Cangtian's approval would have a greater chance of taking over the Dragon Group.
Therefore, they were not foolish enough to offend Ye Cangtian!
"Since you have all calmed down, let's get down to business!"
"There's no need to go into the living room; we'll do it in the small courtyard. Let everyone bear witness!"
Seeing that the two were still silent, Ye Cangtian said something and then gave an instruction to Xu Shian.
Xu Shian turned and left. After a short while, guards brought chairs and quickly set up the small courtyard.
After everyone was seated, with Xu Weiwei and Ye Cangtian sitting in the main seats, Tan Xiuming and Wang Qisheng sat on the sides.
Seeing that no one had any objections to the seating arrangement, Ye Cangtian spoke again, "It was I who asked Weiwei to invite you here. The Dragon Group cannot be without a leader for a single day, so it needs to be resolved quickly."
"Since that's the case, I'll be direct!"
As his voice fell, Wang Qisheng stood up and took out his letter of appointment. He said, "I hold a letter of appointment from the Hidden Group. I won't hide it anymore. This order was personally issued by Lord Chenyi!"
Wang Qisheng originally intended to conceal something, but he had already learned that Tan Xiuming's letter of recommendation had Haotian's signature.
Haotian was a Heaven-level expert.
If he didn't mention Chenyi, his influence might not be as strong as the letter of recommendation, which could lead others to side with Tan Xiuming.
On the other hand, upon hearing Wang Qisheng's words, Tan Xiuming immediately stood up and took out his letter of recommendation. However, just as he was about to say something, Ye Cangtian stopped him.
"Hold on, this is not a marketplace. Speaking requires order!"
Ye Cangtian waved his hand at Tan Xiuming, signaling him to sit down for the time being. He didn't want the two of them to start arguing again, as that would only delay things further!
