Ge'er Kusi's heart clenched fiercely as he stared directly at Jiang Chen.

The commercial influence Jiang Chen displayed at this moment, when combined, was already no less powerful than that of the Ge'er Family!

"Impossible! You couldn't possibly be the designated Yasna Continent regional proxy of the Pamir Family. I've met the representative for the Yasna Continent proxy—his name is Jiang Yuqing, not you! How dare you lie here? You're clearly ignoring the presence of all these witnesses!" Ge'er Pusi roared angrily.

Jiang Chen looked at Ge'er Pusi as though he were a fool: "Are you stupid? You yourself said Yuqing is the proxy representative. Shall I introduce you to Jiang Yuqing?"

"Jiang Yuqing, proxy head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng in the Flame Dragon Kingdom. He happens to be the proxy head and representative because I'm the actual Family Head, and I handle the representation. I don't have the time to manage the Jiang Family or oversee the oil trade in the Yasna Continent region, so I let my cousin take the role of proxy and handle it for me. Does this explanation satisfy you?"

"You... you... you..." Ge'er Pusi couldn't catch his breath, nearly choking, as he stared fixedly at Jiang Chen, his face as dark as the depths of a storm.

"I can confirm that Mr. Bo Keli once mentioned Jiang Chen to me. He explicitly told me that if I met Jiang Chen, I should treat him with the same respect as meeting himself in person. Mr. Jiang Chen has full authority to represent Mr. Bo Keli to revoke and appoint continental proxies at will!" Bu Lang declared loudly.

"What!?"

"He has full authority to represent Mr. Bo Keli!?"

"No wonder Mr. Bu Lang is so cautious around him!"

"Does this mean the Head of the Jiang Family can completely represent the Pamir Family!?"

The members of the Ge'er Family once again looked at Jiang Chen in shock, exclaiming uncontrollably.

Plop!

Ge'er Pusi opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his unwilling eyes fixed on Jiang Chen with an icy cold glare. A chilling killing intent emanated from his body!

"Pusi!" The Head of the Ge'er Family roared angrily.

Ge'er Pusi snapped out of his trance, taking a deep breath and glaring at Jiang Chen fiercely. He then turned and reluctantly addressed the witnesses: "To the esteemed witnesses, for this first match, I admit defeat!"

"Good!" Ge'er Kusi nodded and loudly announced, "The first match, victory goes to Ge'er Yan!"

Ge'er Yan's heart trembled violently as he turned to look gratefully at Jiang Chen. This victory in the first match was entirely thanks to Jiang Chen.

Moreover, Ge'er Yan was very aware that the second match would rely entirely on Jiang Chen as well!

"Next, we move on to the second match: the comparison of military strength!" Ge'er Kusi didn't waste any time and announced loudly.

"As one of the witnesses, I would like to clarify something before the second match begins!" Grand Duke Si Mo'er suddenly spoke.

Everyone froze for a moment and turned to look at Si Mo'er in unison.

Si Mo'er glanced at Ge'er Yan before turning to face Ge'er Kusi and said, "Ge'er Family Head, I apologize, but for the sake of fairness, I investigated the individuals who have been following Ge'er Yan closely. It turns out they belong to the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, which is under your command. Therefore, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps cannot participate in the next match!"

Ge'er Kusi's expression shifted, his brows furrowing slightly, and a trace of anger flickered in his eyes.

"This..."

"The Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps was founded by the Family Head?"

"Doesn't that break the rules?"

The members of the Ge'er Family turned their gazes toward Ge'er Kusi.

Ge'er Yan's face changed as he looked at Si Mo'er in anger.

As one of the witnesses, Si Mo'er had handed his own resources to Ge'er Pusi, and now he was targeting an investigation against Ge'er Yan's associates. His partiality was already evident!

Moreover, despite knowing that the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps was founded by Ge'er Kusi, Si Mo'er failed to inform him not to use them beforehand and instead brought it up in this setting. His intentions seemed aimed at more than just Ge'er Yan!

"Who said the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps would be used for the next match?"

A voice rang out, and everyone froze for a moment, turning their heads in unison to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at Yan Mo: "Yan Mo, how come you're sitting in the wrong seat like Mr. Bu Lang? Quickly get up and let Mr. Fang, who's elderly, have a seat. What, did you overdo it partying with women last night, and now your legs are weak?"

Yan Mo paused for a moment before hurriedly getting up from the seat. "You're right, you're right, I've taken the wrong seat! I shouldn't be sitting!"

As he spoke, Yan Mo moved toward Ge'er Yan and stood obediently behind him.

"Is there anyone else sitting in the wrong seat? Please move to the correct position!" Ge'er Kusi realized Jiang Chen was offering him an opening to handle the situation, so he played along and asked, while glancing at Spirit You.

Noticing Ge'er Kusi's glance, Jiang Chen chuckled and spoke, "Ge'er Family Head, I believe no one else is in the wrong position. Shall we begin?"

Ge'er Kusi paused for a moment, nodded lightly, and announced in a loud voice, "Next comes the second match. This time, Ge'er Yan's side will introduce first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ge'er Kusi looked at Jiang Chen, and all eyes followed suit. It was clear to everyone that Ge'er Yan's side was led by Jiang Chen—not just in the commercial comparison, but seemingly in the military strength comparison too!

"Comparing one by one is too tedious. I happen to know the two mercenary group leaders on the opposite side. One is Hu Da'er, leader of the Divine Spear Mercenary Group ranked ninth among the top ten mercenary groups. The other is the Mandala Mercenary Group leader, known as Mandala, ranked tenth. Am I correct?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at the two leaders opposite him.

"Correct!" Hu Da'er and Mandala both nodded.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and gestured toward Xuan Long and Blood Kylin: "Xuan Long, leader of the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group, and Blood Kylin, leader of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group—either one of their groups can annihilate your two mercenary groups. Even if the two of you joined forces, you couldn't withstand an attack from just one of their groups. Do you agree?"

Hu Da'er and Mandala's faces shifted slightly as they glanced at Xuan Long and Blood Kylin, a hint of hesitation appearing in their eyes.

"Jiang Chen, the competition has witnesses overseeing it. You don't need to make comparisons!" Realizing the two leaders were leaning toward agreement, Ge'er Pusi interrupted urgently.

"Jiang Chen, are you disregarding the authority of the witnesses?" Grand Duke Si Mo'er said coldly.

Jiang Chen glanced at Si Mo'er indifferently and responded, "Witnesses, are you truly familiar with the strength of the top ten mercenary groups? Perhaps they themselves know better than anyone. If the two of them admitted they couldn't compare to Dragon Flame or Dragon Soul Mercenary Groups, would you still object?"

"Dragon Flame and Dragon Soul are indeed strong—I admit their combined strength would surpass the alliance between the Divine Spear Mercenary Group and the Mandala Mercenary Group. But claiming one of them alone could surpass two? That I cannot accept! Your approach could be seen as intimidation toward Hu Da'er and Mandala!" Ge'er Pusi shouted angrily.

He was left with only two mercenary group leaders on his side and absolutely couldn't let Jiang Chen diminish them by pitting them against just one. If that happened, he'd already lost.

He wouldn't allow such a thing to occur!
