"Head of the Sun Family, we meet again."

Just as everyone was shocked, Lin Yue turned around and greeted Sun Yucheng.

Startled from his shock, Sun Yucheng nodded lightly and suddenly exclaimed, "I never expected that President Lin, known as the Queen of the business world, would actually belong to Young Jiang. President Lin, I can hear your submission. But I really don't understand, what is it about this kid that's worth following?"

As soon as Sun Yucheng finished speaking, the entire square fell silent, and everyone looked at Sun Yucheng with surprise in their eyes—that comment wasn't very friendly!

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Sun Jianshan frowned at Sun Yucheng.

Sun Yucheng glanced at Sun Jianshan and then looked up at Jiang Chen not far away, "Jiang Chen, I don't mean to belittle you, but I am truly puzzled. President Lin is internationally renowned as the Queen of the business world."

"In five years, she turned a little-known small company into a top 500 global conglomerate. And honestly, during this collaboration with President Lin, I intended to introduce Jianshan to her, only to find out she's actually your person!"

"Dad!" Sun Jianshan was stunned and glared at Sun Yucheng with some embarrassment.

Lin Yue glanced at Sun Jianshan, and her face also turned a slight red.

"What? The Head of the Sun Family intends for young Sun to be with Lin Yue? Doesn't that mean... the Sun Family is planning an alliance with the Jiuzhou Group? This..."

"This is really exciting, isn't it? Could there be a big plot twist coming?"

"This... surely not, right?"

"What is the Head of the Sun Family doing? Why would he just blurt that out? Isn't this the wrong occasion?"

Sun Yucheng's words caused quite a stir, and everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Jiang Minghui's brows were tightly furrowed, and Wan Tianlin and the others by his side were also staring straight at Sun Yucheng.

Lin Yue calmly collected herself and began to speak, "Head of the Sun Family, I..."

"Wait."

But before she could finish, Jiang Chen raised his hand to interrupt her and turned to look at Sun Yucheng, speaking evenly, "Why Lin Yue follows me is none of Head of the Sun Family's concern, right?"

As the words fell, everyone was taken aback once more.

"Is... Jiang Chen an idiot?"

"Right, shouldn't he be trying to win over the Head of the Sun Family at this point? Instead, he's talking like this, pushing people away!"

"What a waste, he doesn't know how to seize such a good opportunity!"

"Sigh! Elder Master Jiang was wise all his life but muddled all of a sudden, how did he take a fancy to such a useless guy?"

The onlookers frowned and spoke one after another, looking at Jiang Chen as if he were a fool.

Jiang Minghui snickered inwardly, looking at Jiang Chen with mockery and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

If Jiang Chen had climbed the ladder, given Sun Yucheng's apparent regard for Lin Yue, coupled with the bonds between Jianshan and Jiang Chen, the Sun Family really might have intervened in today's affair. But now, Jiang Chen had just pushed away a great opportunity.

Sun Yucheng also looked at Jiang Chen with surprise, and then a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes. Although he really thought highly of Lin Yue, his comment was partly intended to test Jiang Chen. After all, Sun Jianshan valued Jiang Chen so much, he had to see what kind of person Jiang Chen was. Now, he was quite satisfied in his heart.

"You're right, it indeed has nothing to do with me," Sun Yucheng nodded lightly.

"It's over! Jiang Chen has completely offended the Head of the Sun Family!"

"What an idiot!"

"What's going on? Elder Master Jiang isn't senile, is he?"

"Indeed, why would he value such a useless person!"

The onlookers sighed one after another, their looks toward Jiang Chen filled with even greater disdain.

However, different from most people, the heads of the seven top families took another look at Jiang Chen, with Meng Chaochen and Zhang Chenggang each nodding their heads in admiration.

"Alright, the result of the first round of the assessment should be very clear to everyone. Jiang Chen wins!"

Third Elder Jiang Chen announced in a loud voice, "Next, we proceed to the second assessment, a comparison of personal strength. Jiang Minghui and Jiang Chen, step forward."

Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Minghui mockingly and strode forward to stand beside Third Elder Jiang, looking at Jiang Minghui with amusement, "Jiang Minghui, do you dare to take me on?"

Jiang Minghui's expression darkened, and a trace of fear could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Chen.

The Jiang Family members had complex looks in their eyes as they watched Jiang Chen.

Although they did not know exactly how strong Jiang Chen was, they had seen him reveal his strength. That terrifying feat of slicing through a building with a single strike had made it clear to the Jiang Family that Jiang Chen's capabilities were unfathomably deep!

But the onlooking crowd had no idea about Jiang Chen's strength, and they were stunned by his indifferent and arrogant attitude.

"Damn! Isn't this Jiang Chen too arrogant? Daring to speak to the Head of the Jiang Family like that?"

"The Head of the Jiang Family was an Earth Level Martial Artist three years ago, and this Jiang Chen still dares to act so brazenly? Is he seeking death?"

"Damn, this Jiang Chen is really beyond saving!"

"Head of the Jiang Family, severely deal with this ignorant brat!"

The crowd became noisy once again.

But the more vociferous the crowd became, the more embarrassed Jiang Minghui felt; his face was flushed with shame.

In the end, Jiang Minghui had no choice but to concede with difficulty:

"I admit defeat in this round!"

As soon as these words landed, everyone was shocked.

"What? The Head of the Jiang Family is admitting defeat?"

"How can this be possible? Could it be that Jiang Chen is stronger than the Head of the Jiang Family?"

"Could he be a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster?"

"A Heavenly Peak Grandmaster in his twenties? That's too terrifying, right? Impossible, right?"

The onlookers shouted out in incredulous surprise, unable to grasp what they were seeing with Jiang Minghui.

No one could have imagined that the dignified Head of the Jiang Family, an established Earth Level Martial Artist, would actually choose to admit defeat?

With the commercial contest earlier, Jiang Minghui had now lost two rounds in a row.

It was simply unbelievable!

Zhang Chenggang, Sun Yucheng, and Meng Chaochen, the heads of the three major families, also simultaneously turned their heads to look at Zhang Wenjie, Sun Jianshan, and Meng Yanran.

Sun Jianshan's face was full of surprise as he turned his head to look at Zhang Wenjie and Meng Yanran, who were also looking at Zhang Wenjie. For a moment, the gazes of everyone converged on Zhang Wenjie's face.

Zhang Wenjie smiled faintly and said softly, "Jiang Minghui is saving some face for himself by doing so. Otherwise, our boss would have beaten him so badly he wouldn't even recognize his own mother!"

"This... Wenjie, how strong is Jiang Chen?" Zhang Chenggang's expression changed as he asked in a low voice.

Meng Chaochen and Sun Yucheng also fixed their attention on Zhang Wenjie. If Jiang Chen's strength was far beyond their expectations, perhaps they could lend a hand today. The future of a young Grandmaster was something to look forward to.

"I'm not entirely clear on the boss's exact strength, but, to be conservative, Semi Innate, Innate Grandmaster is not out of the question!" Zhang Wenjie spoke softly.

"What?!"

"How is that possible?!"

"Impossible!"

After their exclamations, the heads of the three families involuntarily turned their gaze toward Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Could this Jiang Chen truly be so formidable?

They couldn't help but feel a sense of wavering deep inside themselves.
