My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1077: Thirteenth Elder

Thirteenth Elder’s residence, Silver Fox and Lion, these two Forbidden Powerhouses, form the close-knit bodyguard lineup protecting the Thirteenth Elder.

Of course, below them is also a six-person group of Human Body Limit Powerhouses.

Sky Net’s Hunting Team, the top-tier lineup includes one Forbidden Powerhouse, plus six Human Body Limit Powerhouses, along with a team of a hundred elite fighters.

If you combine the security forces around each elder of Sky Net, it’s even stronger than the Hunting Team.

After all, the individual combat ability of a Forbidden Powerhouse is terrifying.

The Thirteenth Elder’s mission this time is to consolidate the Huaxia region and firmly establish their power.

This strategic objective is incredibly important, whether for the major affairs of Sky Net or to counter Ye Fan and Mengyao, thus the Thirteenth Elder cannot afford to fail—they must complete this mission smoothly.

To achieve this strategic objective, the Thirteenth Elder first contacted the Tang Family; after failing to win them over, he decided to support the Song Family’s rise to power.

The Forbidden Powerhouse who was once the pillar of the Song Family died at the hands of Ye Fan, during one of Ye Fan’s missions as the Terminator in Huaxia.

Thirteenth Elder hasn’t told the Song Family about this, fearing they might seek revenge against Ye Fan and ruin his major plans.

Thirteenth Elder wants to win steadily, without disrupting the current situation, so he gradually pressures the Tang Family without delivering a fatal blow.

His goal is to silently and unnoticed root his power within Huaxia’s borders, without letting other forces or individuals know, thereby reducing trouble.

"Is the Song Family behaving themselves?" the Thirteenth Elder inquired.

"No inappropriate actions have been taken; the Song Family understands that the Elder wants a stable situation. Although they wish to severely weaken the Tang Family and strip away their power, they’re also worried about the consequences if the Tang Family aligns with the Elder and the Song Family loses its position. So, the Song Family clearly wants to use us to attack the Tang Family," Silver Fox reported, "But the Song Family also understands the cost of defying the Elder’s intentions. Thus, no foolish actions have been taken."

"As long as the Song Family is following the rules, if they stir up trouble for no reason, I won’t be happy, and if I’m not happy, they might receive an unforgettable lesson," the Thirteenth Elder said calmly, with an expression of assured superiority.

"Any movement from the Tang Family?" the Thirteenth Elder asked again.

"They’ve been active, showing intention to fight us with everything they’ve got. The Tang Family has gathered all their fighters at their manor, even summoning back their direct relatives, preparing to face a formidable enemy, looking like they intend to fight to the bitter end. It’s unclear if they truly intend to challenge us beyond their capabilities or if they’re just putting on a show to intimidate," Lion sneered.

"Regardless of how the Tang Family reacts, let them bounce around for now. Once they’ve gathered their strongest forces, we’ll teach them a harsh lesson at the appropriate time, and the Tang Family will learn the art of diplomacy," the Thirteenth Elder smiled faintly.

"Furthermore, the Guo Family from Macao, along with the faction linked to the God of Gambles, also plans to respond to the Elder’s call and oppose the Tang Family," reported Silver Fox.

"The Guo Family and the God of Gambles are indeed tactful, knowing to seize the opportunity," the Thirteenth Elder muttered disdainfully.

...

Ye Fan and Qiu Wen have settled into the villa arranged by the Tang Family.

The days were rather leisurely.

The Tang Family faced challenges from all sides, struggling to cope with the economic attacks from the Song Family, Guo Family, and the God of Gambles’ faction.

For these matters, as long as the Tang Family manages without critical damage, it’s not much to worry about, and Ye Fan is indifferent to them.

The strategy from these forces against the Tang Family was intimidation, which Ye Fan chose not to concern himself with.

His only interest was waiting for the Thirteenth Elder to surface, and then execute a decapitation strike.

Tang Renmei, the eldest son of Tang Jian’an, visited Ye Fan and Qiu Wen.

"Mr. Ye, Miss Qiu, my father is occupied with family matters, and my grandfather is also tied up with worldly concerns, so they’ve sent me to escort our esteemed guests around Zhuhai City, rather than letting you stay idle at the villa," said Tang Renmei.

Tang Venerable didn’t want to bother Ye Fan with mundane matters; Ye Fan’s visit to Zhuhai City is naturally kept secret, and at this moment, the focus is on the broader situation, with no one paying attention to Ye Fan.

Even if they notice Ye Fan, it’s not a problem.

"Master, what do you think?" Qiu Wen sought advice.

"If I lurk in the shadows and strike unexpectedly, it can create a deterrent effect. However, since the enemy does not intend to settle the matter by force and instead engages in economic warfare, it’s necessary for me to step out of the shadows to let those hiding know I’ve arrived. Startling them appropriately may force those in hiding to take countermeasures, which is better than waiting for a chance for them to appear," Ye Fan reasoned, and did not refuse Tang Renmei’s kindness.

Ye Fan, Qiu Wen, and Tang Renmei departed from the Tang Family estate.

Driving them, although Tang Renmei didn’t know much about Ye Fan and Qiu Wen, given his grandfather’s courtesy to them, along with them being peers, besides showing them respect, he was curious.

"To earn my grandfather’s esteem, they must be individuals of astounding ability. To be of such caliber at their age shows their significant impact in the Underworld," Tang Renmei speculated inwardly.

Though he had such thoughts, outwardly he remained reserved, not prying or asking too much.

"Mr. Ye, Miss Qiu, where do you plan to go? The bars and clubs aren’t lively at this hour, do you have any suggestions?" Tang Renmei asked politely.

"Find a venue frequented by wealthy youngsters, with food and drink; it’ll be nice," Ye Fan said coolly.

His goal wasn’t leisure, but to intentionally let his presence at the Tang Family be known among the wealthy circles, aiding the spread of information. Monitoring the tide against the Tang Family was also a benefit.

"Mr. Ye, isn’t such a venue disruptive? We’d inevitably be disturbed," Tang Renmei was concerned. "Shall I take you to a more private place? Surely, it would be peaceful there."

"Let’s go to a venue where we can be disrupted," Ye Fan asserted firmly.

"As you say," Qiu Wen agreed gently.

"Very well," Tang Renmei had no choice but to comply.

Tang Renmei didn’t grasp Ye Fan and Qiu Wen’s intent, but focused on doing his job well, driving them safely.
