Clenching his fist tightly, a hint of sternness flickered in Fan Yi's drooping eyes, and the expression on his face changed dramatically.

He could not possibly let Ye Xuan take the position of this special honorary president, nor could he allow him to climb over his head. After so many years of hard work, how could it be for someone else's benefit? Let some wild kid from who knows where tread him underfoot? This was absolutely not permissible!

"Hehehehe..."

Suddenly, a low chuckle emerged from Fan Yi's mouth, the change on his face disappeared entirely, and a strange smile curled up at the corners of his mouth. He stared at Wu Jindao and said word by word, "What if I insist on opposing?"

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire hall was in an uproar!

The atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly froze, and all the high-ranking members of the Golden Saber Society were filled with a sense of foreboding.

At this moment, Fan Yi's sudden change gave them a premonition that something major was about to happen, and many didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Ye Xuan's lips curled with amusement, watching this scene with great interest. This banquet had finally taken on some exciting drama to unfold!

As for Fan Yi's change in attitude, Wu Jindao seemed to have anticipated it. He merely lifted his eyelid slightly, looked at the other party with a calm smile, and said flatly, "Do you think you have the ability to oppose my decision?"

"Haha, Brother Wu, you are the president of the Golden Saber Society, and I am just a protector. Given my position, it's naturally impossible to oppose you! But having stayed in the Golden Saber Society for so many years, I can be considered an old minister. For the mistakes you make, I feel I have the duty to correct them. Didn't loyal ministers risk their lives to admonish emperors for their mistakes in ancient times? Only then can they be considered qualified subjects! Brother Wu, do you think I'm right?"

Fan Yi smiled slightly, staring at Wu Jindao and spoke soothingly.

"Scorpion, are you implying that you are such a loyal minister?" Wu Jindao countered instead of answering.

"Brother Wu, do you not think so?"

Wu Jindao shook his head lightly and said apathetically, "Having the courage to speak bluntly to admonish is undoubtedly a good thing, but there's no need for admonishment if the matter itself isn't wrong, is there? It's just superfluous! So, this time I won't listen to you. I appreciate your intention, but I will still stick to my decision!"

"Brother Wu, I am kindly correcting your mistake. Do you really intend to stubbornly refuse to listen?" Fan Yi squinted slightly.

"I have made myself very clear. I believe my decision is absolutely correct and without error! Moreover, I believe that shortly, you, along with everyone else, will be thankful for the decision I made today." Wu Jindao reaffirmed.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say. Such a pity..."

Fan Yi sighed inwardly, shook his head to himself with an expression full of regret, and said, "Brother Wu, I thought I could change your decision, but now it seems, in your heart, I still can't match up to this outsider! Then I have no choice but to use other means to make you change your mind."

Upon hearing this, a strong light flashed in Wu Jindao's eyes. He stared intensely at Fan Yi and said in a very unfriendly tone, "Scorpion, what are you planning to do? Have you got the guts to betray me right in front of my face?"

"Haha, Brother Wu, you're indeed Brother Wu! You've guessed right, I, the protector, am about to betray you!"

The corners of Fan Yi's mouth curled up in a smile, but this smile appeared extremely cold.

In the end, his voice turned icy cold as he suddenly slapped the table in front of him, creating a crisp and sharp thud that echoed throughout the hall.

Thud, thud, thud!

The next moment, as the sound of Fan Yi's slapping the table faded, the side doors on both sides of the banquet hall were smashed open with a bang, and a group of people surged inside.

All dressed in black vests, there were as many as thirty or forty of them, each holding sharp controlled knives, encircling the hall with a murderous atmosphere!

The sudden scene sent shockwaves through many of the high-ranking members of the Golden Saber Society in the hall!

Before many of them could recover, they found that the banquet hall had already been surrounded.

Fan Yi had betrayed them!

Seeing the scene before them, even if they didn't understand what was happening, they could see what Fan Yi's actions represented at this moment. This was to be a mutiny to usurp control, and a direct coup at that!

Although many had speculated before arriving that tonight's banquet might be unusual, they never dreamt that someone would dare to betray publicly, and that person was Fan Yi, Wu Jindao's most trusted and relied-upon ally, leaving many in shock.

Could it be that the script was opened the wrong way? Why did things develop to this point? Such a question arose collectively in everyone's mind.

In their impression, Fan Yi was an undeniable scoundrel, yet he was loyal to Wu Jindao, earning much of Wu Jindao's appreciation and reliance within the Golden Saber Society!

Especially since what happened last night, Wu Jindao even entrusted the Golden Saber Entertainment City, the most important asset under the Golden Saber Society, to him, treating Fan Yi as a trusted confidant. It could be said that no one could shake Fan Yi's position in the Golden Saber Society, except for Wu Jindao, the president.

Logically, Fan Yi should be more loyal to Wu Jindao. Why would he suddenly betray overnight and even draw his sword against Wu Jindao? It's truly puzzling.

Could it be that Wu Jindao's insistence on creating a special honorary president caused such a change? On the surface, this seems to explain things, but upon deeper thought, it doesn't feel right.

Based on Fan Yi's current performance, it was evident that he had already arranged for personnel in advance. Otherwise, how could those people enter so quickly? And Wu Jindao had just announced the news. The timeline clearly doesn't add up! Unless Fan Yi already knew about Wu Jindao's arrangement to introduce Ye Xuan as the special honorary president to suppress him, but this explanation is too far-fetched, still incorrect.

Only one possibility remains: Fan Yi had long harbored rebellious intentions, wanting to replace Wu Jindao in the president's position and become the new helm of the Golden Saber Society! However, he concealed this very well, deceiving everyone into believing his loyalty to Wu Jindao.

Explaining it this way makes everything clear: Fan Yi, fearing others would notice his betrayal, pretended loyalty outwardly while secretly amassing power, waiting for the opportune moment. From the current performance, it's clear that his betrayal plan had reached its final step, and opposing Wu Jindao's special honorary president arrangement was merely a fuse. Once this fuse was lit, it would detonate the entire bomb.

And at this moment, Fan Yi's true colors would be revealed entirely, enacting a coup right in the banquet hall! Of course, even without this special honorary president, Fan Yi would still betray; it was just a matter of using a different excuse.

He wouldn't even need an excuse, opposing for the sake of opposing! When you're caught off guard, suddenly biting, it would be even more troublesome.
