The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 258: You Think You Can Control the Heavenly Saber Association?
Chapter 258: Chapter 258: You Think You Can Control the Heavenly Saber Association?
"Liang Mufan, you should learn well from your father. After all, I am the chairman of the Heavenly Saber Association. It would be best for you to show some respect in my presence," Jin Tianlong said with disdain.
"I completely agree with the chairman’s view. If it weren’t for the chairman leading us all these years, could we be living such good lives now? The old ways of fighting and killing don’t work anymore. Now, we need to use our brains to make money, which is the real deal. If the Heavenly Saber Association can’t make money, how can we support our members?"
"Exactly! Now is the prime time for the development of the Heavenly Saber Association. As members, we must unite and give all the power to the chairman to control. We should trust the chairman to make the Heavenly Saber Association even stronger."
...
Most of the senior members of the Heavenly Saber Association in the conference room had been appointed by Jin Tianlong after he became the chairman, so of course, they sided with him. As a result, pair after pair of eyes in the room turned to focus on Liang Weiping.
Liang Weiping took a couple of deep breaths, and just as he was about to speak, a loud "bang" resounded as the door to the conference room was kicked open. The bodies of two or three members of the Heavenly Saber Association tumbled into the room.
Chenfeng casually strolled into the conference room with his hands in his pockets and went straight to the point, "I’m here to take over the Heavenly Saber Association today. If none of you have any objections, from now on, the Heavenly Saber Association will be under my control."
Lu Jiang merely stood at the entrance of the conference room, having a clear view of the scene inside. He did not enter, as he didn’t want to get too involved with Ye Chenfeng. In his opinion, even if Ye Chenfeng could kill Jin Tianlong, it was unlikely he would be able to control the Heavenly Saber Association. In the end, it might even fall under the control of the Liangs, which was the last thing he wanted to see happen.
After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, the room fell silent for a moment, followed by a loud outburst of laughter, filling the entire conference room. To them, what Ye Chenfeng said was utterly ridiculous.
"Young man, you must still be dreaming, huh? Do you know where you are? How dare you cause trouble at the headquarters of the Heavenly Saber Association?"
"What an idiot, got his head kicked by a donkey, thinking he can take control of the Heavenly Saber Association? I think you’ll be leaving here lying down."
...
Ye Chenfeng ignored the jeers in the conference room and spoke again, "I’ll say it one last time, my name is Ye Chenfeng, and I am here to take control of the Heavenly Saber Association today."
With that, Ye Chenfeng threw the Iron Token that Wang Youli had given him onto the conference table and said, "I suppose someone here recognizes this Iron Token. You must also know Wang Youli, right? It was Wang Youli who sent me to take over the Heavenly Saber Association. Do you still have any objections now?"
Seeing the Iron Token on the table, Liang Weiping was the first to become visibly excited. He picked up the token and examined it carefully to confirm it was genuine, then teary-eyed, he looked at Ye Chenfeng and asked, "Young man, how is Brother Wang’s health? Can you tell me where he is? I’ve missed him dearly these past years. All the brothers who fought with Brother Wang to establish our position have either left or are dead."
"Don’t worry, Wang Youli is in very good health now. As for his whereabouts, I am afraid I cannot tell you," Ye Chenfeng told Liang Weiping. "He probably grew tired of the life of violence and decided to live in seclusion after leaving the Heavenly Saber Association."
Liang Weiping sighed and murmured to himself, "That’s right, Brother Wang saw it all clearly!"
Then, Liang Weiping addressed everyone in the conference room, "This Iron Token symbolizes the position of the Heavenly Saber Association’s Chairman. When Brother Wang left the Association, he only temporarily entrusted the role to Jin Yongkang. After all, when Jin Yongkang passed away, Jin Tianlong fundamentally lacked the qualifications to assume the Chairman’s position."
"Since someone has brought the Iron Token to the Heavenly Saber Association today, and it is in line with Brother Wang’s intentions, the position of the Chairman of the Heavenly Saber Association should rightly be inherited by this young man starting from today."
Liang Weiping originally harbored no triumphal aspirations for the role of Chairman, but the deeds of Jin Tianlong over the years were simply intolerable, and among the older generation, only the Liangs remained. After all, they had gradually built the Association through their efforts; he could not stand by and watch this foundation be destroyed by the scum that was Jin Tianlong.
Lu Jiang, standing at the entrance to the conference room, was completely stunned upon hearing Liang Weiping’s words. Only now did he realize that Ye Chenfeng had an ace up his sleeve! No wonder he was so confident in barging into the Heavenly Saber Association’s headquarters. If Ye Chenfeng truly became the Chairman of the Association, then Lu Jiang would become Ye Chenfeng’s subordinate in the future. freeweɓnøvel~com
Fortunately, Lu Jiang had not done anything excessive to Ye Chenfeng; otherwise, his days in the Heavenly Saber Association would surely have been difficult. However, Lu Jiang knew that Jin Tianlong would not just let this matter go; otherwise, he wouldn’t be Jin Tianlong.
As expected, after scanning everyone in the conference room, Jin Tianlong fixed his gaze on Ye Chenfeng and said, "Young man, jokes should not be taken so far. Do you think you can just claim the Chairman’s position of the Heavenly Saber Association with an Iron Token of dubious origin? That’s utterly laughable."
"Jin Tianlong, this is by no means an Iron Token of dubious origin; it represents the identity of the Chairman of the Heavenly Saber Association," Liang Weiping bellowed angrily. Today was the best opportunity to get rid of the scum Jin Tianlong from the Association.
"Uncle Liang, don’t spout nonsense here. In my view, you brought this kid here, didn’t you? Your aim is to snatch the Chairman’s position of the Heavenly Saber Association. I am calling you Uncle Liang out of respect for your seniority within the Association, but don’t try to pull rank on me in my presence; I, Jin Tianlong, won’t stand for it." Jin Tianlong’s eyes grew darker and more sinister.
"Jin Tianlong, don’t talk nonsense. It’s you who’s hell-bent on becoming the Chairman! For the sake of the Chairman’s position, you even murdered your adoptive father, Jin Yongkang, and have continually squeezed the power from the older generation within the Association. Had I not discovered your heinous ambitions early on, our Liang family would have long been ousted from the core of power in the Heavenly Saber Association. What kind of beast are you to be worthy of the Chairman’s position?"
Liang Weiping furrowed his brow, his dry palms tightly clenching, and his voice was neither humble nor overbearing. Since he and Jin Tianlong had already fallen out, there was no concern for pretense anymore.
Wang Youli held a very significant place in Liang Weiping’s heart. Back in the day, their generation followed Wang Youli through life and death, through highs and lows. Moreover, Wang Youli was a man of high honor and deep loyalty; he treated his brothers sincerely. Thus, in the hearts of the older generation of the Heavenly Saber Association, Wang Youli would always be their leader.
Since Wang Youli had entrusted the Iron Token, which symbolizes the Chairman’s position, to Ye Chenfeng, it was only right and just for Liang Weiping to help Ye Chenfeng rise to the position of Chairman without hesitation.
Of course, Liang Weiping had already verified that the Iron Token was authentic, as it bore a unique mark that only those of the older generation could recognize. Moreover, the fact that the Iron Token symbolized the Chairman’s position was knowledge only they were privy to; thus, all indications suggested that Ye Chenfeng wasn’t just muddying the waters, but truly tasked by Wang Youli.
"Hahaha, laughable, truly laughable," Jin Tianlong burst out laughing and shouted at Ye Chenfeng: "You want to control the Heavenly Saber Association? Do you have the strength to do so? Give you one minute to disappear from here, and you might still save your wretched little life; otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary."
"Jin Tianlong, as Jin Yongkang’s adopted son, I believe you also understand the significance of this Iron Token. You are no longer the Chairman of the Heavenly Saber Association, so please leave the headquarters immediately," Liang Weiping roared with raging eyes, knowing in his heart that Jin Tianlong would definitely cling to the Chairman’s position tenaciously. Furthermore, Jin Tianlong currently controlled the majority of the Association’s power; the situation was indeed disadvantageous for them.(To be continued.
