Chapter 991 - Until the Interview

Chapter 991 – Until the Interview

At the Cultivators’ Association, Chairman Lee was surprised when David Swanson and the other investors suddenly showed up at his place.

“What the hell happened to you guys? Especially you, Mister Jiang. Your leg seems to be injured.” Chairman Lee asked them with a frown on his face.

“Ah, I fell down on my way here. It’s nothing serious.” Mister Jiang said with a stiff smile on his face.

“Yu Tian told us to come here and wait for Player Yuan to show up. He promised that he will let us meet Player Yuan.” David Swanson said.

“Come to my room now. All of you.” Chairman Lee said.

Sometime later, once they were in a private room and sitting down, Chairman Lee slammed the table in anger, “TELL ME! WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU GUYS AND YU TIAN!?”

The investors were taken aback by Chairman Lee’s sudden fit of rage.

“C-Calm down, Chairman Lee. Why are you so angry?” Mister Joe said to him.

“Calm down?! Do you idiots have any idea who you’re messing with?!”

“We know. He knows Player Yuan, so it would be a bad idea to offend him. However, it’s a little too late for that…”

“Tell me everything!” Chairman Lee frowned.

The investors looked at each other, seemingly hesitant to tell Chairman Lee about their involvement with the Yu Family and Yu Tian.

However, since they have somewhat dragged Chairman Lee into this mess and angered him, they had no choice but to tell him.

Even though they were all wealthy and powerful people, they did not dare to offend the Cultivators’ Association that was getting increasingly more influential and powerful at a rapid rate, not to mention their relationship with the government.

Even before the investors finished telling the full story, Chairman Lee was already fuming in anger, his body trembling nonstop.

The investors were terrified when they saw this, and they wanted to stop, but they didn’t dare to stop until they finished telling the whole story.

“You fucking idiots!” Chairman Lee shouted at them afterward.

“Chairman Lee, please tell us what you know. You clearly know something that we don’t!” David Swanson said to him in a pleading voice.

However, before Chairman Lee could even say anything, someone knocked on the door.

“Chairman Lee! Someone claiming to be Player Yuan has asked for an audience!”

“What?! Player Yuan actually came?!” The investors were pleasantly surprised.

“Let him in!” Chairman Lee said.

The door opened, and three figures entered the room.

“You’re…” The investors were puzzled when they saw Yuan. The thought that he was Player Yuan didn’t even enter their minds.

“Where’s Player Yuan? You promised us that we’d meet him!” One of them exclaimed.

“Of course, and I have already fulfilled that promise.” Yuan said with a profound smile.

“W-What are you talking—” That person halted his sentence midway, and the entire room turned dead silent.

Chairman Lee suddenly stood up and bowed, “How are you doing, Yuan?”

When the investors heard Chairman Lee addressing him as ‘Yuan’, they all realized the truth almost simultaneously.

“Y-You’re Player Yuan?! That’s impossible!” David Swanson exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief.

“Don’t tell me you’re going to ask for proof again? I don’t have the energy to deal with your nonsense anymore.”

“Hmm? These guys… Aren’t you Mister David?” A familiar voice suddenly resounded.

Yuan and everybody in the room turned to look at Chu Liuxiang.

“You know him?” Yuan asked her.

“Of course. I have seen him at the Chu Family plenty of times.” She nodded.

“Y-Y-You are! Young Lady Chu! What are you doing here?!” David Swanson also recognized Chu Liuxiang after looking at her face closely.

The other investors there also recognized her.

As one of the most powerful and wealthy backgrounds in the country, it was only natural for these investors to approach the Chu Family.

“Is it weird for me to be here?” Chu Liuxiang said.

“W-What about the Chu Family?!”

“Oh, I left the family long ago. I am now part of his family.” She pointed at Yuan.

“S-Seriously? You left the Chu Family to be with Yu Tian?”

“People may know him as Yu Tian, but I have always known him as Yuan.”

Chu Liuxiang suddenly narrowed her eyes, “Anyways, I heard about the situation from him. So you guys are involved with the Yu Family, huh? Why am I not surprised?”

The investors began sweating.

If even someone like Chu Liuxiang decided to leave the Chu Family for him, there was no way they could refute his identity as Yuan anymore.

“Please forgive us, Yu Tian— No, Yuan!” David Swanson fell to his knees and kowtowed to Yuan.

The other investors immediately followed.

“Hahahaha!” Yuan suddenly started laughing.

“You want me to forgive you after everything that you’ve done to me?! In your damn dreams!”

The investors began taking steps back, distancing themselves from Yuan.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Once I am done with the Yu Family, I will deal with you guys as well.”

“D-Deal with us?! You may be famous, but do you have what it takes to handle us?! You’re just a damn child! What can you do besides threatening us with harm?!” Mister Jiang suddenly shouted.

Yuan smiled and said, “I may be a child, but I can destroy all of you with a few words.”

“Oh? I would love to see how you’re going to achieve that!”

Yuan smiled and turned to look at Chairman Lee.

“Chairman Lee, can you prepare an interview for me? I’d like to speak with the world for a moment.”

“Of course. I will have everything prepared in an hour.”

Yuan looked at the investors and spoke, “I will give you all a chance to live a normal life. If you give me all of your money, I will forgive you.”

“All of our money?! You must be out of your damn mind!” David Swanson shouted.

Yuan shook his head and said, “Don’t be so rash. I’ll give you until the interview begins to give me the money.”
