Chapter 233 Am I The Only Outsider? Drove Me Crazy!
The call connected, and the image projected onto the big screen. It was none other than Ye Fan! Your next journey awaits at empire
"Young Master Ye, I pay my respects to you! This operation was successful, and I have finally completed the mission!" Roselle, although separated by the screen, still bowed respectfully to Ye Fan.
"Well done. Come find me in Flower Capital, and if you have any problems with martial arts, I can give you some pointers! By the way, I think Lovette would also be very pleased to share some insights with you!"
"Thank you, Young Master Ye. Let me take care of some things here, and I'll come to Flower Capital right away!" Roselle said, filled with gratitude, as if meeting him were a tremendous honor.
As Ye Fan was speaking, he shifted the camera to the side, aiming it at Lovette.
"Nicely done! Roselle, I think this must be the first time we've worked together so seamlessly!" Upon appearing in front of the camera, Lovette air-fived Roselle through the screen and said, "I bet some people would never understand why they lost today!"
Previously, Roselle and Lovette were either quarreling or on the verge of quarreling, and they were longtime rivals in the stock market too!
No one could have imagined that a pair of mortal enemies would end up collaborating because of Ye Fan.
"Heh, it's because they don't realize what kind of fate awaits those who offend a god-like figure such as Young Master Ye!"
After responding, Roselle turned to look at Zhang Heng, who was slumped on the ground next to him.
At that moment, as Zhang Heng watched Ye Fan on the screen and saw Lovette and Roselle speaking with such intimacy, he completely broke down.
"You... you all... you've been in this together all along... You colluded to set me up..."
Pfft!
Zhang Heng, out of fury and frustration, spewed out another mouthful of blood.
When Roselle had been making those bizarre decisions earlier, Zhang Heng had his suspicions, but he had never imagined that the reality was exactly as he suspected: Roselle and Lovette had colluded.
Moreover, from the recent conversation between Ye Fan and Roselle, it seemed Ye Fan had simultaneously brought under his banner financial giants from both the Beautiful Country and Europa?
"Hmph! Patriarch Zhang, you're mistaken, this isn't being set up... this is called—revenge!" On screen, Ye Fan's expression was dark as he spoke coldly, "When you joined forces against the Ye Family, you should have foreseen this end."
"The Ye Family lost ten loyal souls to your scheming! And from this point on, whatever you did to my uncles and brothers, I will repay a tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Despite the distance of the screen, Zhang Heng and his sons beside him could deeply feel the intense killing intent radiating from Ye Fan.
That overwhelming killing intent seemed almost ready to break through the screen and strangle them all.
At that moment, where was there even a hint of Ye Fan being a fool?
It seems that the news from the Japanese Black Clothes Society had been completely accurate.
Ye Fan had been feigning stupidity, deceiving everyone.
Neither himself nor his backer took immediate action against the Ye Family's 'foolish' young master and the old coot, allowing Ye Fan time to grow, eliminate all their forces in Cloud City, and even slay his own grandson along with Tang Zheng's.
Now he had even begun sweeping away those enemies in Flower Capital, Tiannan Province... it's getting closer and closer to touching their ultimate backer!
Ye Fan's movements were steady; once all the lurking enemies of the Ye Family were eradicated, it would be time to target these bigger fish behind the scenes.
However, the Zhang family had rashly come forward to initiate a financial war against the Ye Family, so they would naturally be the first to fall!
"Qi Tao, have all the procedures been completed?" Ye Fan called out to Qi Tao, the general manager of the Nether Pawnshop, on the screen.
Qi Tao respectfully bowed to Ye Fan and said, "With the presence of a member from the Martial Arts Association Certification Office to notarize, all procedures are legal and compliant!"
After responding to Ye Fan, Qi Tao turned to Zhang Heng and said, "Patriarch Zhang, I now represent the Nether Pawnshop in seeking your opinion... Do you currently have the ability to redeem the Zhang family's mortgaged properties? If not, in three days, we will proceed with a legal auction of all the Zhang family's properties!"
Putong!
Seeing Qi Tao's attitude towards Ye Fan, Zhang Heng spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, nearly vomiting out all the blood in his body!
Damn it, was the Nether Pawnshop also arranged by Ye Fan?
I should have thought of it earlier; isn't the Nether Pawnshop part of the Nether Group's assets?
And when they made a move against the Su Family in Cloud City, the Nether Group had provided assistance.
At that time, Zhang Heng and the others were unaware of the relationship between the Nether Group and Ye Fan, but now it seems that the Nether Group is very fearful and respectful of Ye Fan.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Could the Nether Group's real owner also be Ye Fan?
The Pawnshop is Ye Fan's man, Roselle is Ye Fan's man... so of all the people sitting in the Zhang Corporation's meeting room today, am I the only outsider?
Zhang Heng suddenly felt dizzy. Then everything went black, and his mind completely collapsed in an instant.
"I'm so stupid, really... I'm really stupid... Hehe... I'm hungry, I need food..."
Zhang Heng suddenly began to giggle, and then, like a dog, he crawled toward the trash can, picking up the tissue used for blowing noses and feeding it to himself, saying, "Tasty, really tasty!"
Zhang Heng had gone mad!
The Zhang family had failed so utterly in this battle that there was no longer any possibility of turning the tables, and so many of the family's ancestral properties, including their mansion, had been mortgaged to the Nether Pawnshop, which is to say, to Ye Fan himself.
How could what had been eaten be spit back out?
Zhang Heng couldn't accept it. He, a Grand Chancellor, had been so miserably tormented by a "foolish" Young Master Ye that he had gone completely insane on the spot!
"Father! Father, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Heng's two worthless sons, seeing him like this, also felt as though they had lost their mainstay and hurried to Zhang Heng, trying to help him up.
"Hehe! Are you hungry too? Come here and eat with me, it's really good!" Zhang Heng said, passing a few clumps of tissues to his sons.
"Father... we've lost... You must be alright... Quick, get up, let me help you over there to rest!"
The two sons helped Zhang Heng up, intending to have him sit down on the chair.
But Qi Tao blocked them, saying, "I'm sorry, you cannot stay here, please leave the building immediately!"
"Why not? Why can't we sit here? This is our own Zhang Corporation's company. I can sit wherever I want to..." Zhang Heng's eldest son was still arguing, but suddenly remembering the mortgage contract his father had just signed, he fell silent!
"Heh! Zhang Corporation... you're thinking too much. This place has changed ownership, it's no longer yours, and you're not welcome here! Please leave immediately!"
Change ownership?
Whose name had it changed to? Without needing to be told, Zhang Heng's sons understood instinctively!
"Then can we at least go back to our own home?" Zhang Heng's sons glared hatefully at the image of Ye Fan on the screen, shouting hysterically, "Ye Fan, you're ruthless! If anything happens to my father, I'll never let you off... Ahhhh..."
The infuriated eldest son, grabbing an ashtray, furiously hurled it at the big screen, but to no avail...
