"Most of you have been with me for many years, with only a small number having replaced others later on.
As members of the Dragon Kingdom's Dragon Association, you should be aware of the consequences of violating its regulations."
The Chairman spoke to everyone, and no one dared to make a sound in the meeting hall.
Regardless of whether they were innocent or guilty, in the face of the Chairman's low-pressure speech, no one dared to make any further moves.
After finishing his statement, the Chairman returned to his seat without even glancing at the people kneeling on the ground.
As soon as the Chairman sat down, the first person who had spoken ill of Su Yang fainted.
With a rustling sound, someone fell to the ground, but at this moment, no one dared to help them up.
The Chairman still did not look at anyone, returned to his seat, and picked up the intelligence report from Qingcheng.
"The matter between Su Yang and the Eight Great Families of Qingcheng is a personal grievance.
Although Su Yang dared to confront the Eight Great Families of Qingcheng and even dealt with the commissioner, I had a slight understanding of this matter beforehand."
"If they hadn't provoked Su Yang first, Su Yang wouldn't have acted against them."
After speaking, the Chairman put down the intelligence report and issued the final verdict of this临时 meeting.
"Regarding the matter between Su Yang and the Eight Great Families of Qingcheng, the capital will not interfere. They will resolve it themselves.
The winner takes all, and we will see what outcome they achieve."
With that, the Chairman stood up and said, "Meeting adjourned."
As soon as the two words were spoken, the Chairman left, leaving behind a figure of imposing grace.
Five minutes after the Chairman left, people gradually dared to walk out.
As for the two people lying and kneeling on the ground, no one moved them.
Their fate had been sealed.
Thousands of miles away from the capital, Tang Ye and Tang Shanhe waited for a full day without receiving any instructions from the capital.
"Dad, what's going on with the capital? Why is there no news yet?"
Tang Shanhe was already worried to death, and Tang Ye's words made him even more anxious.
"How should I know!"
Tang Shanhe stood up from his executive chair and paced back and forth in front of the desk, his heart filled with impatience.
Tang Ye knew that Tang Shanhe was no less stressed than himself, so he didn't say much more.
"Before, when we contacted members, we received a reply within twelve hours. What's going on today?"
"Dad, is it because this matter is more serious, and the discussion is taking longer?" Tang Ye guessed.
Tang Shanhe stopped pacing and said, "That's not impossible. After all, such a major decision as deploying warships and fighter jets requires the approval of at least someone of the Chairman's status."
As he spoke, Tang Shanhe felt a little comforted and said, "Let's wait and see."
"Dad, but we can't wait much longer."
Indeed, they couldn't wait much longer.
Su Yang had been missing for a day. Although they had been tracking Su Yang's movements, they dared not get too close, so they only knew Su Yang's general location.
They had no idea of Su Yang's precise whereabouts.
"Contact the Shangguan family and the remaining families of the Eight Great Families of Qingcheng to convene a meeting."
The Tang family's status in Qingcheng was second to none, and their word carried weight in times of major events.
At this moment, waiting for information support from the capital was one option. Alternatively, if the capital provided no support, they absolutely could not sit idly by.
How many days had Su Yang been rising in the Dragon Kingdom?
Could these aristocratic families allow a mere youngster to trap and toy with them?
Tang Shanhe would not swallow this insult, the Shangguan family would not swallow it, and the other members of the Eight Great Families of Qingcheng certainly could not swallow it.
After receiving Tang Shanhe's order, Tang Ye quickly notified his subordinates to inform the other families.
Once confirmed, Tang Ye walked to Tang Shanhe's side.
"Dad, do you think the capital will send forces to assist us?"
If the capital had responded within twelve hours, Tang Shanhe would have had an eighty percent confidence that the capital would send forces.
But... a full day had passed now.
There was no news from the capital at all.
Because there was no news, Tang Shanhe did not dare to contact the members he had connections with.
Everyone in the Dragon Kingdom knew that members of the Dragon Association were forbidden from having private dealings with the various forces in the Dragon Kingdom's cities.
However, in reality, almost every city had a member with whom they had private dealings.
But this was all done in secret and absolutely could not be exposed.
Once exposed, even aristocratic families like the Tang family would be uprooted.
At the same time, in the coastal region, within Haicheng.
Su Yang was sunbathing and drinking fresh coconut water.
"Boss."
Shen Qiu walked over wearing floral swim trunks, holding a green coconut.
"Shi Wuzun's injuries are no longer serious. He should wake up in about a day."
"Really?" Su Yang looked at Shen Qiu with surprise.
Yesterday, after arriving at the waters of the coastal town, Su Yang had ordered all his subordinates to evacuate and recuperate from the Yangwei.
This naturally included Shi Wuzun, who was seriously ill.
Shi Wuzun's condition had not been good, and he had been unconscious for a long time, which prevented Su Yang from speaking with him.
Now that he knew Shi Wuzun was about to wake up, Su Yang was naturally very happy.
"It's absolutely true, boss. Don't you trust my medical skills?"
Su Yang smiled, "I trust your poison skills very much, but your medical skills are a bit inferior."
This was not untrue, as Shen Qiu was a poison master.
"Don't worry, boss. Under my treatment, Shi Wuzun will surely be able to help you wholeheartedly and complete your great cause."
Hearing Shen Qiu's words, Su Yang felt truly elated.
With a wave of his hand, he rewarded Shen Qiu with a million.
Nowadays, money was just an endless string of numbers for Su Yang.
For his subordinates, Su Yang's rewards started from a million.
This was also why Su Yang's subordinates were so loyal to him.
On one hand, Su Yang was brave and resourceful, and following him in this country would ensure they wouldn't suffer hardships.
On the other hand, Su Yang was extremely generous, and by his side, there was no need to worry about money.
Shen Qiu happily accepted the money and then looked at Su Yang, asking, "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"
Looking at the calm sea before him, Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Please call Chu Tianye and Hans Locke over. I have something to tell them."
Shen Qiu nodded and then left.
Su Yang continued to lie on the lounge chair, gazing at the azure sea.
It had been a day, and there was still no news from the capital or Qingcheng.
But this did not mean the matter was over.
Even if Tang Ye and the others made no move, Su Yang would not let them off.
