As Ma Jin reached this point in his speech, he shouted sharply and declared,

"Arrest Wang Ye! This trial has concluded. Wang Ye, as the president of the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association, has abused his position to conduct transactions with others on his own accord. Take him into custody first, and further judgment and punishment will follow!"

Whoosh!

With these words from Ma Jin, Chai Yan's expression changed dramatically. He hadn't expected that, even at this stage, Ma Jin would still make such a decision.

Wang Ye sneered, staring at Ma Jin with disdain in his voice,

"What, before I fight him, do I have to announce my exact strength? So he can decide whether or not to gamble against me for the position in the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association only after he believes he can defeat me? And if he feels he can't beat me, he doesn't need to risk competing with me?"

As Wang Ye spoke, his tone was full of mockery and disdain for Ma Jin.

Wang Ye's Fourth Grade Martial Warrior's Inner Strength radiated from him. Seeing Wang Ye's calm expression, Chai Yan thought Wang Ye had an escape plan, but what Chai Yan didn't realize was that Wang Ye's thoughts had been quite straightforward from the beginning.

If the problem could be resolved, then address it; if not, it meant that the martial arts association had plunged into utter darkness.

For Wang Ye, there was then no point in staying with the association any longer. He would rather tear things up, walk away, and never return to the organization.

As for whether tearing things up here would offend the martial arts association and prompt them to send people after him, Wang Ye was unafraid.

To Wang Ye, who already had many enemies, adding an organization like the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association counted for nothing.

If worse came to worst, Wang Ye would just go to the man he had met on the mountain that day. Wang Ye didn't believe that the martial arts association, no matter how powerful a civilian organization it was, could really contend with such a vast establishment.

And the moment Wang Ye's Inner Strength began to emanate from him, Chai Yan understood Wang Ye's intent and, without hesitation, released his own force.

Since Wang Ye was ready to take action, Chai Yan decided to follow suit. Given the state of the association, leaving it be seemed fine!

The others in the conference room, sensing the power emanating from both Wang Ye and Chai Yan, realized that they were preparing to rebel immediately.

Feeling Wang Ye's emanating power, many couldn't help but experience a palpable sense of trepidation.

Wang Ye's strength was simply too formidable. Just this power alone was enough to threaten them.

No wonder, despite both being Fourth Grade Martial Warriors, Wang Ye had easily dealt with Yun Hong the day before.

The entire conference room was at this moment enveloped in tension.

Everyone was poised for action.

Just then, as a sigh sounded, the conference room door was opened from outside, and everyone's gaze shifted towards the entrance.

Upon seeing who had entered, everyone present was taken aback.

They never expected Yuan Shuo, who had been away for some time, to return to the conference room.

And from Yuan Shuo's expression, it seemed as though he already knew about the recent events.

As this thought crossed his mind, Ma Jin's expression turned ugly. If Yuan Shuo already knew what had just happened, then he...

While Ma Jin was considering how to extricate himself from the situation, Yuan Shuo turned his eyes to Ma Jin and asked with a smile,

"How does it feel, my position? How do you enjoy sitting in it?"

Ma Jin's face twisted instantly, knowing that no matter how he would try to justify himself now, it would be futile.

When Yuan Shuo looked at him, without asking anything else, simply speaking those words meant he was already aware of the issues inside the conference room.

After Yuan Shuo finished speaking, he didn't seem in a hurry to address the others in the room but turned his attention to Wang Ye, studying him with interest.

After contemplating, Yuan Shuo questioned Wang Ye,

"You just took action directly. Didn't you consider the consequences that might come afterward?"

"Consequences?" Even facing Yuan Shuo, Wang Ye's face showed no sign of concern. Instead, he replied calmly,

"With strength, I can block any soldier and cover any flood with earth. Without strength, hide until you can return and settle scores with everyone."

"Settle with who? These few?" Yuan Shuo asked another question.

"No."

Upon hearing Yuan Shuo's question, Wang Ye shook his head and continued,

"Naturally, we must deal with everyone from the martial arts association. Since they've turned so vile, it's unlikely the rest of the association is any cleaner. Better to uproot the whole association. That way, there's no need to worry about retaliation afterward."

Yuan Shuo paused, taken aback by Wang Ye's response.

He had assumed Wang Ye was referring to dealing with those in the meeting room upon his return. He hadn't expected Wang Ye to talk about eradicating the entire martial arts association.

Quite the violent inclination.

Yet, Yuan Shuo wasn't upset. After all, if what Wang Ye spoke of truly happened, then Yuan Shuo felt that even if Wang Ye eradicated the association's members, it wouldn't necessarily be a loss.

Moreover, since Wang Ye had already dismantled one branch of the association, for whatever reason, they would consider Wang Ye an enemy.

At that point, if the martial arts association wasn't wiped out by Wang Ye first, they would try to take him down.

Wang Ye aiming to destroy the association preemptively was one way to avoid future troubles.
