Chapter 633: Why Did You Appoint My Father as Vice Alliance Leader?

Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Why Did You Appoint My Father as Vice Alliance Leader?

Cheng Yuan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it instantly cut through the crowd’s frenzied flattery, reaching the ears of Gu Feiyun and everyone else.

SWISH!

Everyone turned their heads at once, their gazes landing on Gu Feiyun, who was cautiously inching backward like a thief.

The crowd rushed forward, swarming Gu Feiyun and surrounding him completely!

"Gu Feiyun! Weren’t you acting so arrogant just now? What do you think you’re doing? Trying to escape?"

"Gu Feiyun! You traitor! How dare you collude with people from the Land of Great Evil to suppress our Dongshan’s hero!!"

"Gu Feiyun! You tried to murder Cheng Dongshan, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

...

Seeing the bosses looking like they wanted to tear him limb from limb, Gu Feiyun finally started to feel a sliver of regret.

If he died, Qiuyu would never come back to him!

’What am I supposed to do!’

THUD!

Gu Feiyun dropped to his knees before Cheng Yuan and kowtowed forcefully!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Gu Feiyun slammed his head against the ground until it bled!

"Cheng Dongshan, you know this! The Gu Family has suffered greatly and is now a family of no account. We can only survive at the mercy of others, and we absolutely couldn’t afford to offend Pang Haiqing! The Gu Family was forced into this! Thank you for killing Pang Haiqing and saving us! From now on, the Gu Family will be your loyal dog! We’ll bite whoever you tell us to bite!"

Cheng Yuan snorted. "Tough luck. I don’t give second chances, and I already gave the Gu Family one. There’s no longer any reason for your family to exist!"

Gu Feiyun felt Cheng Yuan’s undisguised killing intent and shouted, "Cheng Yuan! You can’t touch me! My wife has joined the Jinling Yang Family! She is now their Succession Sequence Zero! If you dare lay a finger on me, the Jinling Yang Family will slaughter your entire clan!"

Cheng Yuan curled his lip in disdain. "Oh, my bad, Gu Feiyun. I forgot to mention something. I just attended your wife’s initiation ceremony a few days ago! And it seems she couldn’t do a thing to me, now could she?"

Yang Qiuyu had been his last trump card. Now that even she was useless, Gu Feiyun fell into utter despair, slumping to the ground with a broken spirit.

Cheng Yuan snorted. "Dispose of this trash."

"Yes!"

Eager to impress Cheng Yuan, Bald Chen was the first to leap out, pouncing on Gu Feiyun!

Bald Chen whipped out a dagger from nowhere and viciously plunged it into Gu Feiyun’s chest!

The other bosses, as if jolted from a dream, hurried to rush forward as well.

All sorts of weapons rained down on Gu Feiyun’s body!

In the blink of an eye, Gu Feiyun was mangled beyond human recognition!

With quick reflexes, Bald Chen grabbed Gu Feiyun by the hair, dragged him to the edge of the sea, and tossed the body into the water.

Soon, Gu Feiyun’s body was carried away by the waves.

The bosses washed their hands in the sea, then returned to the area below the stage, gazing at Cheng Yuan with fawning expressions.

THUD!

Again, it was Bald Chen who was the first to kneel.

"Bald Chen greets the Martial Arts Alliance Leader!"

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The bosses all dropped to their knees, roaring wildly!

"Long live the Martial Arts Alliance Leader!"

"Long live Alliance Leader Cheng!!"

Cheng Yuan made a lifting motion with his hand, and the bosses felt a terrifying surge of energy support their arms, forcing them to rise to their feet uncontrollably.

The bosses’ gazes toward Cheng Yuan became filled with even deeper reverence.

’Did Cheng Dongshan start practicing martial arts in his mother’s womb?’

’How could he be so powerful?’

If this group knew that Cheng Yuan had been practicing martial arts for less than three years, their jaws would have dropped to the floor!

Cheng Yuan swept his gaze over the bosses and said in a deep voice:

"Since you have all sincerely nominated me as the Dongshan Martial Arts Alliance Leader, I will not be coy. I hereby issue my first decree: from this day forward, all members of the Dongshan Martial Dao Association will sever all business dealings with the Japanese! I’ll give you one week to clean up your affairs. Can you do it?"

All the bosses were taken aback.

Japanese investment in the Dragon Country was massive, and nearly every boss there had trade connections with them.

If they completely cut off all cooperation with the Japanese, the losses would be enormous!

To everyone’s surprise, Shen Aotian was the first to step forward, his voice firm. "I wholeheartedly support Cheng Dongshan’s decision! The Aotian Group will immediately sever all business dealings with the Japanese!"

Hu Yidao and Zhu Song exchanged a smile. Neither was particularly interested in their family’s business affairs, so they simply smiled as they looked at the crowd.

"The economic and cultural encroachment from East Japan has become too severe. Many of our children have already forgotten what happened a century ago! We must be vigilant! I support Cheng Dongshan’s decision!"

Bald Chen was secretly kicking himself. ’How could I have hesitated?’

’Shen Aotian beat me to the punch!’

"I, Bald Chen, support Mr. Cheng’s decision with hands and feet raised! From now on, anyone who does business with the Japanese is a dog!"

Everyone else had no choice but to declare their stance.

"We support Cheng Dongshan’s decision!"

Cheng Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "My second decree: I appoint Hu Yidao, Zhu Song, and Shen Aotian as Vice Alliance Leaders. In my absence, the three of them will be responsible for managing the Dongshan Martial Dao Community."

"As you command!"

"Greetings, Vice Alliance Leader Hu! Greetings, Vice Alliance Leader Zhu! Greetings, Vice Alliance Leader Shen!"

Shen Aotian never imagined such good fortune would fall into his lap!

After all, just last night, he had said those things to Cheng Dongshan...

At this moment!

Shen Aotian was won over.

Utterly and completely won over!

He wasn’t just submitting to Cheng Yuan’s martial prowess, but to his personal charisma.

Cheng Yuan gave a simple instruction, "Let the Martial Dao tournament continue. I’ll leave Alliance Leader Hu to preside. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving."

With that, Cheng Yuan turned and walked away.

Shen Aotian quickly shot a meaningful glance at Shen Man, only to find his daughter had already run after him. A pleased, gratified look appeared on Shen Aotian’s face.

’I hope Manman can win Cheng Dongshan’s favor. Even if it’s without any official title, that’s fine!’

’If she could bear a child of his bloodline, that would be even better!’

Ji Tingting stared, entranced, at Cheng Yuan’s retreating figure, the very definition of a "hero" being rewritten in her mind.

Ji Tingting finally understood what a true hero was!

’The likes of Tang Jun aren’t even worthy to lick his boots!’

Cheng Yuan had planted an indelible seed in Ji Tingting’s heart!

However, Ji Tingting was well aware that she was completely unworthy of a hero like Cheng Yuan; she could only worship him from afar and admire him in silence.

Ji Tingting secretly made a resolution. ’From now on, I must do everything I can to repair my relationship with Cheng Qianqian!’

’I’ll treat Cheng Qianqian like a blood sister... no, I have to treat her like my own grandmother!’

Shen Man caught up to Cheng Yuan and performed a playful curtsy. "This young maiden greets Cheng Dongshan!"

Cheng Yuan gave a wry smile. "Miss Shen, please, stop messing around. I’m really just a figurehead, a mascot. The ones truly managing the Dongshan Martial Dao Community will be Uncle Hu, Uncle Zhu, and Mr. Shen."

Shen Man’s beautiful, big eyes curved into crescent moons. "Cheng Dongshan, I heard my father’s attitude toward you at the beach was very unfriendly. Why did you appoint him as Vice Alliance Leader? Was it because of me?"
