Seeing that his words had a remarkable effect, seemingly moving many people, Wu Jindao smiled faintly, showing a satisfied expression. He decided to strike while the iron was hot and immediately announced: "Since no one opposes anymore, I hereby officially announce that from today onward, Mr. Ye Xuan will become the honorary president of our Golden Saber Society!"

Silence!

In the hall, there was a sudden silence, and no one had anything to say!

No one expected Wu Jindao to announce so decisively, completely blocking any further discussion. What more could be said? They could only let him make this decision.

Otherwise, wouldn't that mean contradicting Wu Jindao? They clearly remembered Jiang Jinchao's fate last night. Nobody wanted to offend Wu Jindao and be resented for opposing him!

While the atmosphere in the banquet hall had quieted down.

Everyone thought that Ye Xuan's appointment as the honorary president of the Golden Saber Society was a foregone conclusion. Suddenly, an untimely voice rang out among the crowd.

"I object!"

The sudden voice instantly drew the attention of everyone present.

In an instant, many people looked on in astonishment. Who would have the audacity to question Wu Jindao's decision face to face and with such confidence!

The crowd turned to see that the speaker was none other than Fan Yi, the Right Protector of the Golden Saber Society, and they couldn't help but feel relieved! Nowadays, Right Envoy Fan Yi held a trusted position with Wu Jindao, so his opposition was entirely understandable.

Moreover, as the Right Envoy of the Golden Saber Society, Fan Yi controlled almost half of the society's power and resources, along with many lucrative businesses. He was indeed a figure of great influence! With the downfall of Left Envoy Jiang Jinchao, Fan Yi had taken over the Golden Saber Entertainment, expanding his domain even further. It was an opportune moment for him to display his grand ambitions.

So, he had every reason and the confidence to oppose Wu Jindao's decision!

In fact, that's exactly the case! Fan Yi did not want a situation where just as he was about to expand his influence, an honorary president suddenly appeared whose status and power outshone his, suppressing him.

He hadn't even become the top figure yet, and he would have to drop from the second position to the third one, sharing his power and resources, reducing his influence more than before.

If he agreed to such a scenario, that would be crazy! So he could no longer hold back and spoke up in opposition.

Wu Jindao seemed to have anticipated Fan Yi's objection, so he wasn't surprised at all.

His gaze slightly swept towards him as he smiled and said, "Scorpion, do you want to object? Tell us your reasons."

As those words fell, Fan Yi stood up, placing his hands on the table, and met Wu Jindao's gaze unflinchingly, saying slowly, "Brother Wu, the reason I disagree is not because of my own opinions, but because your decision is too hasty and doesn't fully respect everyone! All those present are life-and-death brothers of Brother Wu, we have gone through trials of blood and fire together, contributed tirelessly to the Golden Saber Society, and have all played a role in its expansion."

"Of course, these things don't count for much, considering we're all working for Brother Wu, and we're all willing to do so because of our loyalty to you, willing to offer our strength! Ultimately, we hope to earn rich rewards and wealth from you, and with your leadership, we can gain dignity, standing tall as respectable individuals."

Fan Yi's eyes narrowed slightly as he continued, "But now, you want to appoint a special honorary president above everyone else, granting him the president's power. How can this make everyone feel at ease? Isn't this trampling our dignity! Therefore, as the Right Envoy of the Golden Saber Society, I must oppose Brother Wu's decision! It's fine to pledge our loyalty to you, and if it's a honorary position without real power, there's no problem! But by giving him such authority, have you considered the feelings of all the Golden Saber Society brothers present? As the Right Envoy of the society, I can't accept this..."

With that, Fan Yi straightened his posture, glancing around the entire room, and said loudly, "I believe my brothers share my sentiments, and I represent all Golden Saber Society brothers in urging Brother Wu to reconsider and retract this decision!"

Wu Jindao stared at him, speaking calmly: "I have considered what you've said, but I don't think it's that difficult! Firstly, Ye Xuan has no interest in power, he even disdains it. If I hadn't repeatedly asked him, he wouldn't have agreed to the honorary president position. So on this point, rest assured, he won't use power to oppress you. I'm merely giving him some convenience for his future actions!"

"Secondly, you mentioned trampling others' dignity, which is impossible. I know Ye Xuan very well, he values dignity greatly, not only his own but others' dignity too. Even if it's a trivial figure, he treats others with respect! Of course, provided they haven't done anything to damage his dignity."

At these words, Fan Yi raised his eyebrows with a forced smile and said, "Brother Wu, didn't expect you to know him better than your own brothers!"

"You say he doesn't crave power, but I don't doubt it. Maybe he doesn't crave it now, but who knows for sure? What's possible now doesn't guarantee the future; once he gains power, who can say for certain? Under the erosion of power, people's hearts change! Many people are different with and without power, haven't there been enough examples like this? Can you guarantee he'll always remain true, never change?"

"I can certainly guarantee it!"

Wu Jindao replied without hesitation: "If you all are still unsettled, I can swear on my own life, that if Ye Xuan, as the honorary president, ever covets power or abuses authority causing harm, I, Wu Jindao, am willing to die without regret! Do you have anything more to say?"

He had absolute trust in Ye Xuan, so he swore a serious oath without hesitation, leaving Fan Yi momentarily speechless.

Wu Jindao's words went to such lengths that they left Fan Yi without any room for rebuttal!

Otherwise, it would mean ignoring Wu Jindao's authority, blatantly exposing his ambitions.

A hint of gloom flashed in Fan Yi's eyes, but he didn't plan to give up, still persisting with his view: "Brother Wu, nevertheless, I disagree with your decision. This carries significant risk, and you can't make everyone take the same risk! In conclusion... I object!"

Wu Jindao's eyes glinted and resolutely said, "Alright, there's no need for more words. I've already made up my mind, your disagreement won't change anything! Your opposition won't alter my stance."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yi's expression turned completely sullen...
