Looking at the two silent individuals, Ye Xuan continued, "The conditions I'm putting forward now are merely to compensate for the losses to the Wu Family. Compared to your actions, this doesn't seem excessive, does it?"

"Anyway, I'm laying it out today, if you agree to my terms and provide compensation, then we can shake hands and settle the matter! But if you disagree, then let's see whose arm is stronger. Don't think I am truly afraid of your Feng Family; I would even dare to confront the Wang Family. Can your Feng Family stop me?"

Hearing these words, the pupils of the two slightly contracted. After a moment of silence, Feng Shan coldly stared at Ye Xuan and asked, "Then what exactly do you want?"

Ye Xuan's lips curled slightly, and he extended two fingers with a confident demeanor, "How about this? I'll give you two choices, each as a different solution! First, you return all the Wu Family's assets that you seized and compensate them double for the losses. This way we can call it even! As for the second option, if you don't want to pay double compensation, then let Feng Tianxiang come to the Wu Family in person and bow in apology to the Wu family father and son. I've stated my requirements, and you can choose either one of the conditions, and I will let bygones be bygones."

"That's impossible!" As soon as he heard this, Feng Wu firmly refused, "Your demands are excessive, we cannot accept them!"

According to Ye Xuan's two demands, neither was acceptable to their Feng Family.

The first one, paying double the economic loss, would directly lead to an economic crisis for the Feng Family, resulting in a series of unforeseeable consequences. As for the second option, that's even more out of the question! Feng Tianxiang, being the current Family Head of the Feng Family, represents the face of the Feng Family. Bowing in apology to the Wu Family, once their subordinate family, would not only disgrace Feng Tianxiang but would also trample the entire Feng Family's dignity into the ground, becoming a laughing stock for other families!

Thus, Ye Xuan's two plans were not a consideration for them, and they directly refused verbally.

"Returning the seized industries to the Wu Family, as you said, is the biggest concession we can make. Anything else is off the table!"

Feng Shan followed with a cold tone, expressing the same stance as Feng Wu.

"Heh, don't be in such a hurry to refuse! I was asking Feng Tianxiang, not for your opinions. Your answers aren't in my scope of consideration! So, the two of you should go back and properly discuss it with Feng Jianxiang and see how he decides."

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and calmly said, "If he has any sense, I think he will know how to make the most correct choice! You just need to convey my message."

The two exchanged glances, their expressions fluctuating, seemingly battling internally.

After a good while, Feng Shan took a long breath and, with a tone of compromise, said, "Alright, we will pass on your words, but the decision rests entirely with the Family Head! If he agrees, we certainly won't object."

"In that case, then it's settled. Please convey my message! Additionally, kindly remind him to provide a quick response. My time is valuable, and I have no time to waste on this matter. Please make a decision before midnight, as I can't guarantee I won't personally visit the Feng Family to discuss it if you exceed this time," Ye Xuan said calmly.

The two exchanged another glance. Feng Shan gazed deeply at Ye Xuan and said, "We will remember your words and relay them to the Family Head. Farewell!"

After saying this, they turned and left the banquet hall without lingering.

Fan Yi was utterly dumbfounded.

Watching Feng Shan and Feng Wu leave, his heart sank to the bottom, with even the last glimmer of hope extinguished!

He knew he was finished...

At this point, Ye Xuan also turned around and said to Wu Jindao, "Uncle Wu, this matter is almost resolved. What's left is for you to handle."

Wu Jindao nodded, smiling slightly, "Thank you, Brother Ye, for this time."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Fan Yi, whose face was ashen, and his lips curled, "Scorpion, do you still think you're the last winner now?"

"I..."

Fan Yi opened his mouth but couldn't utter any words.

At this moment, what else could he say? He had no words to respond!

Originally, he was wholeheartedly delighted, believing that the Feng siblings would be his trump card to overthrow Wu Jindao and that he would become the ultimate victor, ascending to the long-desired position of leader of the Golden Saber Society!

But who could have predicted that halfway through, a formidable character like Ye Xuan would appear? He disrupted his entire plan, thwarting all his arrangements and leaving him defeated with no chance of recovery.

What does it feel like to fall from heaven to hell? Fan Yi could clearly feel it at this moment! Now, the only path before him was the road to hell.

His legs began trembling, and finally, unable to resist, he dropped to his knees before Wu Jindao with a thud.

"Brother Wu, I was wrong! My heart was blinded, and I thought of betrayal. I deserve to die, but considering the years I've followed you, please spare my life! I'd even become a beggar as long as you give me a way to survive..."

Fan Yi's face was full of remorse, and he pleaded rapidly for mercy.

"I have already given you a chance, but you insisted on following your own path, turning a deaf ear to my words! You've been with me for so long, you should know my nature. I only give one chance, and if you miss it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wu Jindao shook his head, speaking without the slightest hint of leniency.

"Brother Wu, I know I'm wrong! Please, I beg you, give me another chance to change my ways! From now on, I will never entertain such notions again and will strive to be a good person! Please spare me."

Fan Yi banged his head desperately, not caring about the fresh blood running down his forehead, pleading loudly.

"Everyone must pay the price for their actions! When you embarked on this no-return path, you should have anticipated the consequences of failure and be prepared to pay the price. Don't blame me for lack of compassion when everything you face is of your own making!" Wu Jindao said solemnly.

"Brother Wu, are you really going to wipe me out, leaving no room for mercy?" Fan Yi gritted his teeth, his voice squeezing out through clenched teeth.

"Am I wiping you out completely? When you say this, have you ever thought if you won, would you completely wipe me out? I, Wu Jindao, value emotions and righteousness, but I am not a Bodhisattva with a compassionate heart. For traitors seizing power, there is no way I would be soft-hearted!"

Wu Jindao's voice was filled with a chilling coldness.

Such words sealed the outcome of Fan Yi!
