"Elder Qing, think about it, what are we facing next? The Soul Devour Group, the Gene Organization, and possibly even the Dark Church might come back to meddle! Are these three organizations something we can just obliterate?" Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Elder Qing blinked and gently shook his head, "Of course not! This will be a protracted battle!"

"Yes! A protracted battle! In this protracted battle, will your Flame Dragon Group reward each battle accordingly?" Jiang Chen nodded and asked again.

Elder Qing, without a second thought, replied, "Of course!"

"And if we achieve some results in the battle, will the Flame Dragon Group credit the merits to you and Elder Hei?" Jiang Chen asked with a meaningful look.

"Young Jiang, you have me confused," Elder Qing said.

Elder Qing looked at Jiang Chen in puzzlement: "You are not one of our Flame Dragon people; the favors you do for us will be remembered on your behalf, and the merits will certainly be attributed to me and Elder Hei, who specifically liaise with you. Of course, if other members of the Flame Dragon Group participate, they will also get their share. But, what does this have to do with the situation of the Flame Dragon Group?"

"Really, no relation?"

Jiang Chen coldly huffed, his expression turning chilly, "The Luo Family now wants to deal with me because of the merits you earned. What will they do if your merits increase? Will they send someone to assassinate me? Or will they deliberately provide no support or cooperation in the next action, letting me or my people die at the hands of the Soul Devour Group or the Gene Organization?"

Elder Qing's face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he opened his mouth to retort.

But then he closed his mouth.

Because he suddenly realized that he could not refute it at all.

The Luo Family was obviously targeting Jiang Chen this time; if his side earned merits because of Jiang Chen again, then... what Jiang Chen described might very well happen!

Cold sweat instantly seeped out from Elder Qing's forehead!

"Elder Qing, you and Elder Hei have always treated me well and have helped me multiple times. I have no objections to the merits being attributed to you,"

Jiang Chen spoke softly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes, "but I cannot tolerate my own people sabotaging me, especially on the battlefield. If such a thing happens, with my temperament, I would probably turn against the Flame Dragon Group on the spot."

"And once any of my brothers die in battle due to deliberate actions by members of the Flame Dragon Group, I will eradicate those members of the Flame Dragon Group present, inevitably causing a complete rupture with the Flame Dragon Group!"

"I don't want such a thing to happen, so this time, I must make my stance clear."

"By taking advantage of the situation with Old Shen and others, I want all the other people in the Flame Dragon Group to know that Jiang Chen is not someone they can manipulate at will."

"If they have the ability, they should confront me openly. If they dare play these tricks again, I will fight until they don't dare any longer!"

Jiang Chen spoke coldly, "I'm telling you the truth, Elder Qing, this time, unless Supreme Long Huang destroys the Luo Family, I will never let Old Shen and others teach the Battle Array to the people of the Flame Dragon Group!"

"I will use the people of the Luo Family as a warning to all members of the Flame Dragon Group to let them know that my people are not to be trifled with! Whoever dares to bully us, I dare to kill!"

A cold glint shot from Jiang Chen's eyes.

Elder Qing opened his mouth but did not utter a word.

His eyes were filled with gratefulness.

He knew very well that Jiang Chen was doing this not only for his band of brothers but also for himself.

The Luo Family was indeed his own family's greatest enemy, and moreover, Jiang Chen was also thinking of the Flame Dragon's welfare.

If Jiang Chen were really forced to break with the Flame Dragon Group, the situation for the Flame Dragon would become even more unmanageable!

Dingling dingling!

Suddenly, a cell phone ringtone sounded; Jiang Chen took out his phone, looked at it, and answered with a slight smile, "Hello, Jing Yi."

"Jiang Chen, are you busy now?" Jing Yi's tentative voice came through the receiver.

"Not busy, what's up?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly; Jing Yi speaking like this meant that something had happened.

"Can you come to the Dingjing Yi Chen headquarters? There's a problem with the company; the financial chain is about to break, and Lin Lin and I are somewhat undecided!" Jing Yi's somewhat serious voice came through the receiver.

"The financial chain is about to break? This..." Jiang Chen's expression changed, his brows tightly knitted, "Alright, I'll come right over!"

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen looked up at Elder Qing, "Elder Qing, there's a problem with the company, let's stop here for now."

"Okay, you go ahead!" Elder Qing nodded.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then took out his phone and made a call, "Hello, Miss Song, where are you now... Okay, I'll come to pick you up soon, I might need your help!"

A Rolls-Royce Phantom departed from the Jiang Family Courtyard, speeding towards the Jinhuan Clubhouse!

At the entrance of the Jinhuan Clubhouse.

Song Wanqiu was pacing back and forth at the doorway.

"Miss," Wang Zongming whispered beside her, "Mr. Jiang's strength is almost sufficient, should we..."

"Let's see how it goes. Mr. Jiang asked for my help this time. If I make a request now, it might seem like I'm trying to repay a favor!" Song Wanqiu spoke softly.

Wuu wuu... Squeak!

The Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the entrance of the clubhouse, and Jiang Chen got out of the car, apologizing to Song Wanqiu, "Miss Song, sorry, it's an urgent matter, we'll talk on the road!"

"Okay!" Song Wanqiu nodded and stepped into the car with Wang Zongming.

After picking up Song Wanqiu, Jiang Chen and Yan Hu hurried to Dingjing.

...

That evening, at the headquarters of the Flame Dragon Group!

Supreme Long Huang, Supreme Phoenix Luan, Supreme Hu Sha, Supreme Ming Que, Supreme Shikui, Supreme Kylin—the six supremes of the Flame Dragon Group gathered in the headquarters' conference room.

All the Zodiac Guardians, including Elder Qing, were called back; Elder Hei and Elder Bai also attended this high-level meeting of the Flame Dragon Group.

"Long Huang, what's the matter? Why the urgent call to have us return?" Supreme Hu Sha asked reluctantly.

He had been staying in Dingjing, busy establishing good relations for his great-grandson with Jiang Chen's people, only to be summoned back by Supreme Long Huang, and he was not pleased!

"Let's wait," Supreme Long Huang spoke with a grim face.

Supreme Hu Sha was stunned for a moment, glanced at Supreme Long Huang, and then at the two empty seats at the head of the table, suddenly exclaiming, "Elder Long and... Dragon Saint Senior are also coming?!"

"What?! Dragon Saint Senior is coming too?"

"What... happened?!"

"How long has Dragon Saint Senior not left the back mountain?!"

A burst of astonished cries resounded in the conference room.

Elder Qing and Elder Hei trembled fiercely, exchanged glances, and their eyes revealed a shocked expression.

They were the only ones in the room, apart from Supreme Long Huang, who knew what had happened; however, they had not expected the matter to disturb Dragon Saint!

Thump thump thump!

A sound of footsteps arose.

Click!

The conference room door opened, and two figures walked in from outside.

"Dragon Saint Senior, Elder Long!"

Everyone stood up to pay their respects.

"Please, sit down!" Dragon Saint waved his hand and took a seat at the head of the table with Elder Long.

Rustle rustle!

Everyone sat down, staring unblinkingly at Dragon Saint and Elder Long.

"Long Huang, go ahead and speak," Dragon Saint turned his head to look at Supreme Long Huang.
