Everyone in the hall was stunned to see the once-overbearing Beiming Bufan reduced to a garbage cleaner, especially as Beiming Bufan didn't dare to utter a word of protest.

Leng Xiaojie, aware of the relationship between Beiming Xue and Xiahou Que, shook his head immediately, sneering in his heart: If Beiming Xue had obediently married Xiahou Que back then, how could she have ended up in such a miserable situation today? But this can only be blamed on Beiming Xue's lack of judgment; she brought it upon herself, and she deserves it.

With this thought, Leng Xiaojie said to Xiahou Que, "President Xiahou, you've arranged it well. Beiming Bufan has no talent for management whatsoever; making him collect garbage and feeding him is already a favor."

Hearing this, Beiming Bufan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that people say time cools feelings, and even though he hasn't left yet and has just temporarily lost power, Leng Xiaojie is already kicking him when he's down.

At this moment, Ouyang Lieqing also felt a sense of shared fate; seeing Beiming Bufan reduced to a cleaner, he knew he wouldn't fare much better. He quickly hid behind Beiming Bufan, feeling deep regret in his heart.

If only he had married Ouyang Feiting off to Xiahou Que earlier, today might not be so tragic.

However, Xiahou Que didn't even glance at Ouyang Lieqing, instead coldly fixing his eyes on Beiming Xue and saying, "Beiming Xue, I made Beiming Bufan a cleaner, and you don't seem heartbroken. But if Wang Yan also becomes a cleaner, I wonder what you'd turn into then."

Hearing this, Beiming Xue's expression indeed changed, and she coldly said, "Xiahou Que, don't think Brother Wang Yan will listen to you."

Xiahou Que's expression changed, and he snorted coldly, saying, "Hmph, Brother Wang Yan, you call him so intimately. Now I'll make your Brother Wang Yan penniless."

Saying this, Xiahou Que turned to Leng Xiaojie and said, "Chairman Leng, read today's decision of the Commerce Association to Wang Yan."

Leng Xiaojie immediately smiled at Xiahou Que, then turned back to Wang Yan with a cold demeanor.

Leng Xiaojie said, "The Commerce Association has decided that from today, no business in Wanghai City is allowed to produce pharmaceuticals. If anyone violates this, all products will be confiscated, and they will be fined tenfold."

Hearing this, both Beiming Bufan and Ouyang Lieqing looked at Wang Yan and couldn't help but sigh. With this decision, the Peak Group was completely cut off at the root, thoroughly doomed from now on.

What Xiahou Que said about making Wang Yan penniless can truly be realized.

After listening to Leng Xiaojie announce this decision, Xiahou Que smugly looked at Wang Yan and said, "President Wang, what do you think of this order?"

Wang Yan shrugged and said indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, this order from the Commerce Association is completely aimed at my Peak Group, isn't it?"

Xiahou Que clapped his hands proudly and said, "Smart, you're really smart. This decision is certainly targeted at your Peak Group; otherwise, how could I confidently make you penniless?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Can a decision like this really be approved by the Commerce Association?"

Xiahou Que couldn't help but laugh and said, "If I say it can, it can. If I say it can't, it can't."

Wang Yan said, "Have you really reached the point of having your way everywhere?"

Xiahou Que shook his head and said, "Indeed, now the entire Wanghai City is under my control alone."

"Why?" Wang Yan coldly retorted.

Before Xiahou Que could reply, Leng Xiaojie immediately said, "Why? Wang Yan, don't think just because you have the Peak Group you can act recklessly. President Xiahou now controls four major corporations; he is the real overlord of Wanghai City. The entire Wanghai City Commerce Association obeys the Ouyang Group's commands completely."

Hearing this, Zeng Deyi, standing next to Wang Yan, sighed and said, "Brother Wang Yan, he's right. I was removed as Vice Chairman with just one word from Xiahou Que, and the recent decision was also made by Xiahou Que alone."

Leng Xiaojie immediately became complacent and said, "So what do you say? Wang Yan, are you afraid now? I advise you to best merge the Peak Group under the Xiahou Group; maybe you can still maintain some dignity, otherwise, no one can protect you."

Xiahou Que promptly sneered and said, "Just having the Peak Group submit isn't enough. Wang Yan, if you want to survive well in Wanghai City, I can give you an opportunity."

Hearing this, Wang Yan said lightly, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Xiahou Que said, "You must swear your life, acknowledge me as your master, and become my slave. Then I will give the Peak Group a way out and spare you as well."

Upon hearing this, Beiming Xue was furious and said, "Wishful thinking, making Brother Wang Yan acknowledge you as master, Xiahou Que, your head must have been caught in the door."

Hearing Beiming Xue's insult, a trace of malice flashed through Xiahou Que's heart as he thought: Beiming Xue, don't get cocky. Once I coax Wang Yan into becoming my slave, I'll slowly deal with you. Hmph, by then, I'll let you and your husband enjoy the bliss of being my slaves.

However, on the surface, Xiahou Que maintained a pleasant demeanor and said, "Wang Yan, we've been rivals for so long. I respect you as a person, and if you acknowledge me as your master, I certainly won't treat you poorly."

Leng Xiaojie immediately said, "Wang Yan, becoming President Xiahou's slave is a blessing for you. Why don't you hurry over here?"

Facing Xiahou Que and Leng Xiaojie's performance, Wang Yan remained calm, giving Xiahou Que a faint look and said, "Xiahou Que, aren't you aware of who I am? Just because you're short of money, do I have no other path to take?"

At this moment, Wang Yan implied to Xiahou Que that his identity as a Demon Cultivator naturally wouldn't care about these external wealth matters.

Xiahou Que immediately said, "Wang Yan, of course, I know what you mean, but I must tell you there's someone who can easily take your life. If you acknowledge me as your master, I can plead with him to spare you once."

Hearing this, Wang Yan's expression changed slightly, and he said lightly, "Oh, really? Who might this person be?"

Seeing Wang Yan take such an interest in this person, Xiahou Que immediately kept a card up his sleeve and said, "If you acknowledge me as your master, I will naturally tell you."

Seeing Xiahou Que's cautious demeanor, Wang Yan knew Xiahou Que wouldn't easily reveal the information, so he laughed heartily and said, "Unfortunately, what makes you think I will acknowledge you as my master? What capital do you have?"

Xiahou Que snorted coldly and said, "I now have control of four major corporations. Isn't that sufficient?"

Wang Yan raised his head to glance at Xiahou Que, smiled faintly, and replied, "Are you sure?"
