Tianxing appeared as if he had seen through everything, and nonchalantly muttered, "Second Brother, tsk tsk, I guessed it right. You said that Big Brother suddenly announced that Father had gone to comprehend martial arts. Could there be some ulterior motive behind this?"

Tianlong's face turned somewhat unpleasant, his fists unconsciously clenched.

Tianxing added fuel to the fire, "I think, could it be that Father is gone, and Wang Tianqiong is taking the opportunity to ascend?"

Although the voice was light, it clearly reached Tianlong's ears.

Tianlong glanced at a person not far away.

That person immediately understood, stood up, and loudly said, "Crown Prince, you said the old president has left Jinling and handed Azure Dragon Commerce to you. Do you have any proof?"

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became eerie.

Wang Tianqiong squinted his eyes, with a smile on his face, but his tone carried a hint of threat: "Mr. He, what proof do you need? Isn't my word proof enough?"

Azure Dragon Commerce is enormous, sprawling over the three provinces of Jiangnan, with hundreds or even thousands of subsidiaries.

In the past, with Wang Xiong overseeing, there were no issues.

But now that Wang Xiong is dead, Wang Tianqiong naturally wants to quickly solidify his position as president.

However, Wang Tianqiong knows that relying solely on himself might make it difficult to suppress the entire scene, so he sought out Feng Hu overnight.

After his return last night, although he didn't ask much, Wang Tianqiong knew roughly the capabilities of Yu Nong provided by Feng Hu.

Absolutely a master.

Wang Tianqiong already had plans for today's high-level meeting; if it transitions smoothly, that's best. If anyone dares to jump out, he would directly act with no mercy and use forceful methods to suppress.

Regardless of the outcome, those who support his ascendancy will live, while those who oppose will die.

Everyone detected a slight oddity in Wang Tianqiong's tone.

Especially while he spoke, a dense killing intent emanated from Yu Nong beside him.

Unconcealed.

Mr. He couldn't help but shiver, but seeing Tianlong's compelling gaze, he had no choice but to muster the courage and say, "Crown Prince, it's not that we don't believe you, but we've followed the old president for many years and know his temperament. Even if the old president were to break through a new realm, he would at least inform us. Suddenly calling us together today and saying all this inevitably makes many people think that you have ulterior motives and harmed the old president."

Wow!

As soon as these words were spoken, many were left in shock.

Although many had such thoughts, who dared to vocalize them?

Wang Xiong not appearing, dead or alive, solely depended on Wang Tianqiong's word.

No one is foolish enough to blindly believe?

"Mr. He, are you doubting me, and even suspecting me of patricide?" Wang Tianqiong had stopped smiling, his tone growing colder, "Today, all present are the elites of Azure Dragon Commerce, and everyone knows me well. If your words spread, what would others think? Me, the Crown Prince, would commit patricide just to ascend faster. Is my brain deficient, or is yours waterlogged?"

While speaking, Wang Tianqiong had already stood up and approached Mr. He, staring into his eyes: "My father is old now, and his pursuit is the higher realm of martial arts. He appointed me as the next president of Azure Dragon Commerce. Do I need to perform such tricks? Don't you think so, Mr. He?"

Seeing the killing intent in Wang Tianqiong's eyes, cold sweat started to seep from Mr. He's forehead, tremblingly saying, "Crown Prince, I, didn't mean it. I just wanted to say, for so many years, people have myriad opinions. For everyone to trust you, actually..."

"There's no such thing as 'actually'!" Wang Tianqiong interrupted Mr. He's words with a wave of his hand, "Father left in haste, leaving nothing behind, merely informing me. What, does anyone else share Mr. He's doubts about my words? Stand up and let me see!"

Scanning the surroundings, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Wang Tianqiong's intention was very clear, anyone who dared to doubt him was opposing him.

"Big Brother, what are you doing? We're all members of Azure Dragon Commerce, merely voicing our doubts. Is there any need to react as though your tail has been stepped on?" Tianlong also stood up, seemingly persuading Wang Tianqiong, but anyone could tell it was a deliberate provocation.

As if reminding everyone that Wang Tianqiong was covering up, there was definitely a problem.

Sure enough, seeing Tianlong say this, the previously suppressed voices quickly sounded again.

"Crown Prince, Second Master is right, we're just discussing things, no need to be so worked up!"

"Moreover, you're the Crown Prince, no one can touch you. But at least provide something convincing."

"Azure Dragon Commerce is enormous, but it only occupies the three Jiangnan provinces. If we can't convince everyone, the people below will surely be unsettled. If others exploit this, the loss outweighs the gain."

"Crown Prince, Mr. He is also thinking about our commerce's well-being, no need to be so wrathful."

Tianlong, seeing he had successfully ignited everyone's emotions, had a cold smile tugging at his lips.

Tianxing seemed indifferent, starting to flirt with a girl on his phone.

"Bang!"

Wang Tianqiong smacked the table, angrily saying, "So, it seems many here are unsatisfied with me as Crown Prince! If my words are not believed, then fine, I won't bother explaining today!"

With that, Wang Tianqiong suddenly raised his hand, grabbing Mr. He's neck, lifting him into the air.

Swoosh!

Seeing Wang Tianqiong act, many stood up from their chairs, moving backward.

"Crown Prince, what are you doing?"

"Mr. He merely spoke the truth, no need for this!"

"Crown Prince, please put Mr. He down, and let's talk."

Mr. He's face turned red, his hands desperately gripping Wang Tianqiong's wrist, trying to pry it off, but to no avail.

Wang Tianqiong snorted, applying more pressure: "I hadn't intended to say this before, wanting to give Mr. He face. But unexpectedly, Mr. He didn't know what was good for him. Today, I'll tell everyone, Mr. He has embezzled tens of billions from our Azure Dragon Commerce. He resists me ascending, fearing my audit. Yet, I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. Though my father advised that Mr. He was an elder in Azure Dragon Commerce with significant contributions, merit is merit, fault is fault. Any wrongdoing harms everyone here. You might tolerate, but I can't!"

With final words, he exerted more force.

Crack!

With a crisp sound.

Wang Tianqiong snapped Mr. He's neck.

Mr. He's head tilted, dying on the spot.

The entire audience was shocked.
