Chapter 378 The Living are More Valuable Than the Dead!
Chapter 378 The Living are More Valuable Than the Dead!
It's over!
It's over!
Ye Fan had snatched away two more crucial things!
Damn it!
The Demon Shadow Illusion Body skill within that Soul Bone was something that Prince Jin desperately needed!
Prince Jin had been plotting for so many years, aiming for something tremendously grand! Killing off the Ye Family and coveting their map was one aspect; on the other hand, he was also clearing obstacles for his subsequent plans… Now, after so much effort, he was finally at this stage, getting closer and closer to success.
But now, Prince Jin always had this feeling that the balance was tipping increasingly in Ye Fan's favor.
By then, he feared he wouldn't even be able to deal with that brat from the royal family, Ji Yuchen!
Not to mention controlling the entirety of Great Xia and tracing the whereabouts of the Immortal Palace…
"What's the use of atonement, damn it! Just let it be!" Prince Jin hung up the phone in irritation!
After Ye Fan's purges in Cloud City, Flower Capital, and Tiannan Province, Xiong Tianhua was Prince Jin's only undercover agent left in Tiannan Province, in charge of secretly transporting some important materials. And now he had been exposed as well?
Ye Fan had cleared out his forces in Tiannan Province, which meant that the Ye Family's main base was now safe.
Next, Ye Fan should be heading to Guangcheng to deal with the true circumstances behind the murder of Ye Family's third son, Ye Lingyu, right?
I must warn my subordinates over there; if they can't deal with Ye Fan, they must escape when necessary to preserve their fighting force.
"I am Zhao Jin. Ye Fan has already met up with Shen Mange in Flower Capital, and the Xiong Family has been exposed. Ye Fan might have already found out some truths about Ye Lingyu's death. Watch yourselves!"
...
In Flower Capital, after Shang Luo finished the call, Ye Fan pointed to Zhao Wuyou beside him and said, "You two, you're responsible for escorting him! If Zhao Wuyou escapes, I'll have your heads!"
"Yes!"
Shang Luo gave a bitter smile, his face helpless.
They had come to Flower Capital to protect Zhao Wuyou, but now, they ended up having to escort him instead!
"Boss!"
While Ye Fan sat back down at the dining table to eat, Guo Li and Wang Fugui arrived hurriedly with a troop.
"Who is this guy?" Wang Fugui pointed to Zhao Wuyou, who lay on the ground, battered beyond recognition.
"From Capital, Prince Jin's son, Zhao Wuyou!"
"What? Prince Jin... the bastard who annihilated the boss's entire family?" Upon hearing this, the pupils of Wang Fugui and Guo Li both dilated. "Damn, he even dares to be arrogant in Flower Capital!"
Furious, Wang Fugui stepped forward and kicked Zhao Wuyou's thigh, shattering his leg on the spot.
Zhao Wuyou, who had already fainted, woke up from the pain and then passed out again.
"It's him!" Ye Fan said gravely to Guo Li. "Contact Elder Pang right away, hide the person in Tianji Pavilion's base, and make sure they are well protected; we need them alive!"
"Why the heck? Prince Jin killed the entire Ye Family; why does the boss still want them alive?" Wang Fugui, a bit obtuse, couldn't understand at the moment.
But Guo Li instantly grasped, "Because a living person is more valuable than a dead one! If Zhao Wuyou is alive, Prince Jin has many tactics he can't employ… But once Zhao Wuyou is dead, Prince Jin will act without any concerns and launch a full-scale retaliation!"
"If I'm not mistaken, Prince Jin has probably already sent assassins on the road here!"
Ye Fan nodded. His brother was quick-witted, instantly zeroing in on the crux of the issue.
"Hurry up and organize things here in Flower Capital, and don't forget about the training camp!" Ye Fan said to Wang Fugui and Guo Li. "I need to return to Cloud City today, and tomorrow, you guys will accompany me to Guangcheng!"
Su Yixue had said a couple of days ago that she wanted Ye Fan to attend the official launch of the new medicine!
As the first among the seven sisters-in-law to be with him, Ye Fan naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Okay!"
...
After breakfast, Ye Fan first made a trip to the Ren Family!
He mainly went to check on Princess Yu, who was in a coma.
To fend off Zhou Ming's Absolute Domain control, Princess Yu used her Spirit Contract to block a life-threatening blow for Ye Fan.
She was still unconscious till now.
In order for Princess Yu to fully recover, a few medicinal herbs were needed, including Lycoris Flower, which could only be found in the south.
One of the reasons for Ye Fan's trip down south was to find the Lycoris Flower!
```
With such deep gratitude, Ye Fan had already forgiven all of Xuan Yufei's past mistakes, especially since some of her actions weren't under her control.
Instead, she was being manipulated by Zhou Ming using the Soul Capturing Demonic Technique!
In the Xuan Family, it was Xuan Yufei's second uncle, Xuan Zhengguo, who was truly causing trouble!
Previously, when in Cloud City, Ye Fan didn't deal with Xuan Zhengguo out of respect for Xuan Yufei and Xuan Zhenghua.
But according to the information Ye Fan received, recently, after Xuan Yufei fell into a coma, Xuan Zhengguo started to stir things up again in Cloud City.
Taking advantage of Xuan Yufei's unconscious state, he seemed to want to seize control of Xuan Corporation.
Previously, Xuan Yufei's father, Xuan Zhenghua, remained hidden under Ye Fan's arrangement. Now it was time for him to step back into the light!
"Princess Yu! Don't worry, I will take care of the Xuan family's affairs when I return this time, and the serious damage your Spirit Contract has suffered. Once I head south and find the Lycoris Flower, I will surely heal you! Once you're better, we can go back to how things were before!"
Ye Fan reached out his hand, holding Xuan Yufei's gently, and spoke in a soft voice.
Recalling the past events, Ye Fan still felt deeply moved.
The journey has indeed been difficult!
All these women who risked their lives for him, he couldn't let down a single one!
…
Ten o'clock in the morning!
In Cloud City, in front of the Xuan Corporation building!
Ye Fan stepped towards the building. He had learned that Xuan Zhengguo had mobilized all the shareholders and was holding a shareholders' meeting to elect a new president now that Xuan Yufei was in a coma.
Currently, inside Xuan Corporation, with Xuan Yufei being unconscious and the old president Xuan Zhenghua out of the picture, naturally the best candidate for the presidency was Xuan Zhengguo himself.
The so-called shareholders' meeting was just a formality!
On the eighth floor, in the huge meeting room, the atmosphere was a bit tense!
Xuan Zhengguo was sitting at the chairman's table with a glowing face, his eyes proudly sweeping over everyone present as he said, "Ladies and gentlemen! I think everyone is quite clear about the situation. My elder brother has been sick for a long time and has not yet awakened. Director Xuan, Xuan Yufei, has also fallen into a coma recently in Flower Capital. Our Xuan Corporation, this huge company, surely cannot be without a leader. Therefore, we convene today's meeting to vote and elect a new president, and you are all welcome to nominate candidates!"
"I'll start. I propose Mr. Xuan Zhengguo, who has considerable prestige within the corporation, as a candidate! Does anyone else have any nominations?"
Tch!
Some of the shareholders didn't even bother looking at Xuan Zhengguo!
When Xuan Yufei was still fine, Xuan Zhengguo couldn't restrain his ambition and wanted to sit in the president's seat. And now he still pretends and makes a fuss about it?
However, although everyone was annoyed, there indeed was no other suitable candidate.
Thus, when Xuan Zhengguo asked around, it was natural that he was the only choice in the end.
"So let's begin voting! Those who oppose me as president, please raise your hands!"
Snort! Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
Xuan Zhengguo's way of conducting the election, inversely, left all shareholders speechless!
Raise your hand if you oppose him?
Damn it, isn't that just forcing others to agree with you?
In a regular election, people can choose not to vote for you, but raising your hand to oppose puts you immediately on his radar. Now that he's the sole authority, there'll only be more opportunities for him to make life difficult for you later on!
So, in the end, among the several hundred shareholders present, apart from over a hundred loyalists of Xuan Yufei and Xuan Zhengguo, who raised their hands in opposition, the majority chose to default.
"Since those opposed aren't the majority, then the rest must be supportive of me! I hereby announce, Mr. Xuan Zhengguo, effective immediately, assumes the position of president of Xuan Corporation, with veto power... Does anyone have objections?"
Who would dare to object now?
After all, the Xuan Corporation belonged to their Xuan Family!
The room fell silent, and Xuan Zhengguo, looking proud, surveyed the scene with great satisfaction in his heart.
Humph!
Xuan Yufei, weren't you trying to oppose your second uncle? In the end, the corporation still falls into the second uncle's hands!
"I object!"
Just as Xuan Zhengguo thought everything was settled, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a familiar voice echoed at the entrance of the hall...
Upon hearing this voice, the muscles on Xuan Zhengguo's face twitched a few times, and he instinctively wanted to run...
