Hearing this, everyone looked towards the direction from which the voice came.
A young man in his twenties, followed by two elderly men, Mo Wenjie glanced at them. The son of a top-level noble family in the provincial capital, with bodyguards who are grandmaster-level martial artists. It seems the provincial capital really is different.
Cao Xuan rushed over and smiled flatteringly: "Fang Lord, you've finally come. If you don't come, I would have been bullied to death. You must definitely take care of me!"
Fang Lord glanced at him, Cao Xuan, put your affairs aside for now and do not affect today's networking banquet. After the banquet ends, I will give you the chance to seek revenge.
Cao Xuan kowtowed and kept saying "yes" deferentially.
Fang Lord looked at everyone and said: "Greetings, young talents! I am Fang Ping, from the Fang family. Firstly, I thank you all for coming. We hope that you will have a great time and enjoy yourselves at our networking banquet organized by the Fang family. On behalf of the Fang family, I would like to greet you all!"
The crowd below responded in turn, with Fang Lord being too modest. We, these families from local cities, are honored to have the opportunity to meet and become friends with a top-level noble family in the provincial capital.
Fang Pingjun said, "Since everyone is so complimentary to our Fang family, I would like to discuss something with you all. Now, various local noble families are complacent and scattered, lacking in unity, and being gradually encroached upon by external forces. Our indigenous power is slowly being eliminated. Our ancestors toiled for decades; it would be a shame for them to be divided up by outsiders. This is an outcome that neither I nor any of you would like to see."
Therefore, our Fang family is leading the way to establish the Alliance of Hundred Families, where everyone will contribute financially to establish a new chamber of commerce. The Hundred Families will work together to resist external forces.
A nation cannot exist without a monarch, and a snake cannot move without a head. The establishment of the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce is under the leadership of our Fang family, serving as the chairman of the alliance and exercising its powers. As the helm, each family will contribute five hundred million yuan, sharing profits and bearing risks jointly.
I wonder what thoughts and opinions the young scions of the noble families have. Everyone is welcome to express their views, and you can speak freely.
Of course, I sincerely hope that everyone can see the reality clearly and not try to fight alone. That will not work. I genuinely welcome everyone to join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce.
The audience was abuzz with discussions, and the entire banquet hall was filled with a variety of opinions.
This is just letting us make money for the Fang family, isn't it? The Fang family's scheme is really audacious. If you join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce, you would be a fool.
How could the face of the Fang family be so big? What gives you the right to demand five hundred million from others with just one word? Why don't you give us each five hundred million?
It's up to each of you to decide who gets what, but I can assure you, I'm certainly not going to give any. I'm not that foolish to hand over so much money for the Fang family to squander.
If we don't join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce, let's leave here! This isn't a networking banquet, but rather a setup for a trap.
Everyone rose to their feet, preparing to leave.
Fang Pingjun said, "It seems you all are not giving the face to the Fang family. Well, don't expect me to be polite then. Who here wants to leave?"
Guo Jiaxiang, from the top-level luxury family in Dongjiang City, said, "I am Guo Jiaxiang from the Guo family. Thank you for your hospitality, Fang Lord."
Fang Pingjun wore a smile. The Dongjiang Guo family's Guo Young Master is courageous and a real man. That's good. Grandpa Liang, please see Guo Young Master off on his way!
Liang Bolun respectfully replied, "Yes, Master!" With his aura released, he directly shattered Guo Jiaxiang's legs.
Guo Jiaxiang screamed in pain and fell to the ground, "Fang Pingjun, you are truly ruthless! How could you dare to blackmail us?"
Fang Pingjun smiled and looked at Guo Jiaxiang, "What's wrong with me threatening you? In terms of family heritage, can yours compare to mine? In terms of strength, Master Liang and Master Fu are Grandmaster-level martial artists. With their True Qi released, they can kill people without even moving. What you saw earlier is the result. If you don't want your family members to die suddenly in the night, then follow my advice and join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, I'm not afraid that Master Liang and Master Fu will pay your family a visit that night."
Everyone present was dumbfounded. This was a blatant threat and coercion. If they didn't join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce, the Fang family would really have people kill their family members. Who could protect them? Such a long distance could easily break someone's legs, so it wouldn't be much different to kill them.
When under someone's eaves, one has no choice but to bow. For the safety of our families, we can only humbly submit and join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce.
Fang Pingjun said, "You can call home and ask for your family patriarch. Repeat my words to them. Whether to join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce is irrelevant."
Everyone in the hall mentally swore at the Fang family a few hundred times. "Fuck you for threatening our lives and then trying to act all nice. It's infuriating. My family has Grandmaster-level martial artists, and we could've wiped out your Fang family a long time ago!"
Forced by the situation, they had no choice but to bow their heads and took out their phones to consult with their family patriarchs.
Fang Pingjun asked, "What did your grandfather say?"
Guo Jiaxiang, looking ashen as a corpse, replied: "My grandfather agrees to join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce. He will transfer the money to the account you specify."
Fang Pingjun laughed heartily and said, "He who knows when to yield is a wise man. Our Fang family will be absolutely friendly to the members of the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce. Send Guo Jiaxiang to the hospital for treatment, and the medical expenses will be borne by the Fang family. How is everyone's consultation going?"
Cao Xuan rushed over and flatteredly said, "Fang Lord, my grandfather has agreed to join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce and has already transferred the money. Please make sure to take care of that little guy for me."
Fang Pingjun said, "As long as the families that join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce, they are all my friends in the Fang family. How could I possibly act against my friends?"
Cao Xuan heard these words and felt as if he had eaten a worm. He secretly said to himself, "I've given you five billion, and yet you don't even give me face! Do you think I would worship you just because your Fang family has Grandmaster-level martial artists? I won't let this go like this. I have to find a way to get back at him."
Everyone present lost their previous spirit and energy, each looking like a wilted eggplant. Under Fang Pingjun's guidance, they all transferred five hundred million yuan.
Now, the only ones who haven't called to consult their family heads are Zhao Qingcheng, Gong Hui Zhen, and Liang Yue Hong.
Fang Pingjun walked over and asked, "Three beautiful ladies, why haven't you received the transfer from your family yet? What do you mean? Do you not want to join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce?" If they didn't want to join, the Fang family wouldn't force them.
Cao Xuan finally found his chance, he rushed to say, "Fang Lord, this boy is a security guard. Zhao Qingcheng, Gong Hui Zhen, and Liang Yue Hong were all tricked by this guy into a mess. Three whores together raising a worthless lover. He is arrogant. The three whores didn't call to consult their family heads because of him. Fang Lord, you should deal with this boy properly or those three whores won't be obedient."
Fang Pingjun looked at Mo Wenjie with a smile on his face. Was what he said true? Was it really because of him that things went wrong? Does he not fear being crippled by being beaten up?
Mo Wenjie looked back at Fang Pingjun with a smile, saying, "You can understand it when I'm farting, it seems you two are truly of the same ilk. Since you believe that strength is everything, then the matter is much simpler. I think the idea of the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce is a good one as well. Since everyone agrees, I am willing to accept it with pleasure."
Fang Pingjun said, "He who knows when to yield is a wise man. You're still very sensible. Urge them to transfer the money as soon as possible!"
Mo Wenjie smiled and shook his head. It was not the three families that needed to transfer money, but your Fang family should do so immediately. Of course, the money from the three families should be transferred together, amounting to a total of twenty billion, along with the funds from other families. They should be transferred to her personal account. Then he pointed at Zhao Qingcheng.
Fang Pingjun heard this and became furious. "You dare to play with me, kid? You don't know the consequences of offending our family. Even if it's one of the second-rate families in Zhongjiang, no top-tier luxury family can withstand our anger."
Mo Wenjie smiled and shook his head. "Your Fang family cannot bear the anger of the three families. Zhao Qingcheng is the chairwoman of the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce, and Guo Hui Zhen and Liang Yue Hong are the vice-chairmen. Please transfer the money immediately! If you don't, they'll get angry and it will have serious consequences!"
Fang Pingjun was so angry that he trembled all over.
Those forced to join the Alliance of Hundred Families Chamber of Commerce truly hoped that Mo Wenjie and the Fang family would fight each other to a tie, ultimately causing both parties to suffer damage, and thus the existence of the Alliance would no longer be necessary. Their five billion yuan could then be recovered.
But they could only think about it, none of them dared to speak out. But they knew in their hearts that the three families were not a match for the Fang family. However, they still hoped that the three families could fight against the Fang family, "Die with friends but not strangers." What if they succeeded?
Fang Pingjun roared, "Grandpa Liang, cripple him so he can't live or die."
Liang Bolun stepped forward, still about six meters away from Mo Wenjie. "You really are arrogant, kid. You shouldn't offend the Fang family. Today, you'll learn what kind of people you should not offend."
He unleashed his True Qi directly at Mo Wenjie.
Mo Wenjie still smiled, maintaining a calm expression with not a hint of fear.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Is this kid scared to death? The strength of Grandmaster martial artists is something they have heard about, and there aren't many Grandmasters in the whole of Ansheng Province. A Master cannot be dishonored, and a Grandmaster martial artist can indeed be dishonored as they can kill a Master in an instant. This kid is directly confronting a Grandmaster martial artist, and he doesn't even know how he's going to die.
As everyone was puzzled and confused, they saw Liang Bolren flying backward several meters before crashing to the ground, spewing blood and coughing uncontrollably.
The crowd saw the scene in front of them, rubbing their eyes in disbelief. What happened? Clearly, Liang Grandmaster used his inner energy to attack the young man, but how did Liang Grandmaster fly backward several meters? Why did this happen?
Suddenly, someone seemed to have an epiphany: "I get it. This so-called Liang Grandmaster is just an ordinary old man. The Gao Jiaxiang and others acted out a play for us. There aren't that many Grandmaster martial artists. We've been deceived."
Fuck the Fang family! They are despicable and shameless. They colluded with the Guo family to put on a show for us. I said it before - Grandmaster martial artists can't be as common as cabbages and turnips, especially two in one family. What a well-calculated plan! The money must be returned to us!
The crowd shouted in unison.
Fang Pingjun was petrified. He knew Liang Bolren's strength very well. It was undeniable that he was a Grandmaster martial artist. How could he fly backward several meters? This is not logical at all. What's wrong?
Fu Tingwei came to Liang Bolren's side and helped him up.
Liang Bolren pointed at Mo Wenjie in terror, stuttering as he said, "He...he...he has a martial spirit realm!"
