"Jiang Minghui, you dare defy the ancestral rules? You are betraying and dishonoring our ancestors!"
Third Elder Jiang's face turned grim as he bellowed out loud.
"Betraying and dishonoring our ancestors? Haha! What if I am? How much have I sacrificed for the Jiang Family? Yet you all side with this bastard. What's wrong with being from a collateral branch? Can't a collateral member become the Family Head? I insist on assuming this role! I control the Longteng Group; if you have the guts, forsake the Longteng Group! Ah? Do you have the heart to do that?" Jiang Minghui laughed wildly in his arrogance.
Many from the great families of Jincheng frowned upon hearing Jiang Minghui's words—they were practically an offense to them all. Who among the families didn't wish for their legitimate children to inherit the position of Family Head?
"Chen'er is not a bastard; he is the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Family! He is the heir to the Family Head of the Jiang Family, the future Family Head of the Jiang Family!"
A loud roar followed. A woman carrying a document came down a path through the woods, accompanied by an icily composed man, the corners of whose mouth bore traces of blood.
"Mom?" Jiang Chen looked surprisingly at the pathway and furrowed his brows lightly.
"Jin Chong!" Ye Jingyi hurriedly went to greet him, while Ye Jingyi and others ran over as well.
Jiang Minghui's face changed, and he gave Shen Xiaoqin a cold look, eyes filled with a chilly intent to kill.
Feeling the obvious killing intent, Jiang Chen turned his head and stared intently at Jiang Minghui.
The sight of Jin Chong injured brought something to his mind.
Without warning, an overwhelming rage began to swell slowly within Jiang Chen's heart.
"Mom, how are you? Are you alright?" Surrounded by a crowd, Shen Xiaoqin came up to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen turned and took hold of Shen Xiaoqin's hand, asking with concern.
"I'm fine!" Shen Xiaoqin shook her head and turned to Jin Chong with a look of apology, "It's just that this child got hurt because of me!"
Jiang Chen frowned and said, "Mom, weren't you going to the bank to take out something? What happened?"
"Chen'er, this is for you!" Shen Xiaoqin handed the document in her hand to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took a look and was momentarily stunned—it was a stock rights transfer agreement.
"These are your father's shares, 5%, and now they are yours. I only remembered about your father's shares in the Longteng Group today before the ancestral ritual assessment and thought it might help you, so I took it from the bank's safe deposit box. Your father left in a hurry and didn't dare to return to the family. He could only leave it in the bank." Shen Xiaoqin explained, then turned her head and glared at Jiang Minghui, "But as soon as I left the bank, Jiang Minghui sent men to kill me and snatch the stock rights agreement. It's lucky that Jin Chong was with me all the time, or I..."
"Jiang Minghui, you're courting death!"
Jiang Chen roared out loud, turning and staring intensely at Jiang Minghui.
Boom—
In an instant, a furious and substantial killing intent soared to the heavens.
Dum dum dum!
Leng Ye and others' expressions changed, and they quickly pulled Shen Xiaoqin, Ye Jingyi, and others back a dozen steps.
Wang Zongming, Jiang Mingcheng, and several others also quickly pulled Song Wanqiu, Elder Master Jiang, and others back.
Jiang Minghui, whose face turned glaringly pale, was pushed back three steps by the sheer force of this killing intent.
For a moment, within a ten-meter radius of Jiang Chen, there was only Third Elder Jiang, whose expression had dramatically changed.
The rest were all overcome!
"This Jiang Chen has such intense killing intent!"
"This evil Qi, how many has he killed to have cultivated such an aura?"
"So powerful! What kind of strength does Jiang Chen possess?"
The spectators all showed a look of fear and disbelief as they regarded Jiang Chen.
"He is..." Zhang Chenggang and other seven Family Heads' Semi Innate guards changed color and murmured in a low voice: "Innate Grandmaster!"
"What?!"
"What did you say?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Zhang Chenggang and others exclaimed in shock.
Zhang Wenjie's eyes brightened, showing an excited look, while Meng Yanran also had a face full of joy.
"Uncle Wang, how strong is he?" Song Wanqiu's eyes lit up, and she asked Wang Zongming in a low voice.
Fear flashed across Wang Zongming's face: "I, I don't know, just now... I actually felt like I was about to die! If I were to battle him, I would certainly die at his hands!"
"What? Really?" Song Wanqiu looked at Wang Zongming with a face full of delighted surprise.
Wang Zongming nodded heavily, looking at Song Wanqiu with doting eyes and said contentedly, "Miss, at first, I was indifferent about you placing your hopes on him, but now, I want to say, we've made the right decision to come here today!"
"What, what do you want to do?" Jiang Minghui asked Jiang Chen with a face full of horror.
In his eyes, at that moment, Jiang Chen had completely transformed into an unparalleled God of Slaughter, even his eyes were blood red.
"Kneel down!"
Jiang Chen bellowed, his overwhelming momentum pressing down fiercely on Jiang Minghui.
Thump!
Crack!
Jiang Minghui instantly felt an immense pressure, involuntarily falling to his knees, and that force directly shattered his kneecaps!
"Ah!" Jiang Minghui let out a terrible cry, his face already turning deathly pale!
As Jiang Chen unleashed his aura, Third Elder swiftly moved back to the entrance of the ancestral hall, and at the same time, the First Elder and Second Elder also walked out of the hall.
"This kid... has grown stronger!" The First Elder said, shocked as he looked at Jiang Chen.
A look of gratification appeared in Second Elder's eyes, and he said excitedly, "Very good!"
"Jiang Chen, you, you can't kill me, I am your cousin Uncle, you can't kill me, if you do, it would be like betraying your master and ancestors!"
Jiang Minghui was afraid, truly afraid. He had felt a fatal threat the moment Jiang Chen's killing intent erupted; it was as if his life was no longer his own!
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, Jiang Minghui raised the shares he held in his hand and shouted, "Jiang Chen, I have 43% of Longteng Group's shares in my hand. If you dare kill me, these shares will be thrown directly into the stock market, and Longteng will no longer belong to the Jiang family!"
Hum!
Suddenly, Jiang Chen retracted his aura and killing intent, and called out expressionlessly, "Lin Lin, Lin Yue!"
Gong Lin and Lin Yue took out a document from their bags and quickly came to Jiang Chen's side.
"Tell him what these are," Jiang Chen said without taking the documents, his gaze fixed unyieldingly on Jiang Minghui.
Lin Yue opened the document for Jiang Minghui to see: "These are 4% of Longteng Group's shares!"
Gong Lin followed suit, announcing loudly, "These are 2% of Longteng Group's shares!"
"Add this!"
Jiang Chen raised the documents in his hand and said coldly, "Altogether, it's 51%. I have absolute control of Longteng Group. What does it matter if you throw all of those shares in your hand into the stock market? Longteng Group is still mine, it remains a Jiang family company! Longteng still bears the Jiang surname!"
"Impossible! How could you have so many shares? Impossible!"
Jiang Minghui looked at the documents in the hands of Gong Lin and Lin Yue with a face full of incredulity, yelling loudly.
He couldn't believe it!
Being defeated by Jiang Chen's martial prowess, he had nothing to say.
Even if he lost due to Song Wanqiu's support, he would have no excuses.
But in this battle for controlling interest in the company, he could not believe that Jiang Chen could actually overtake him?
This was impossible!
