Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Chapter 113 A Different Atmosphere

"The bloodlines of those who surrendered to the Ghost Clan have now stabilized. My suggestion for their future is that they return to their respective families according to their surnames, and the heads of those families will make the arrangements for them."

In the conference room of Genji Heavy Industries, after Ye Jingchen, who was sitting in the second seat, finished speaking, he looked at the heads of the five outer families. A true man is never ambiguous when it comes to important matters. He had promised to provide these guys with guarantees, and he was determined to fulfill them.

The five family heads exchanged glances. This "great sweep," orchestrated by Ye Jingchen, had caused considerable damage to the five outer families, leaving them extremely short of manpower.

Ye Jingchen's proposed plan for properly arranging personnel was a timely help for them.

Inuyama He was the first to speak: "I second that."

Mad Kotaro: "Seconded."

Sakurai Nanami: "I second that."

Ryoma Genichiro: "I second that."

Miyamoto Shigeo: "I second that."

All five family heads unanimously approved the decision, and their attitudes were extremely positive.

The subsequent discussions were nothing more than the division of interests, such as how the areas previously occupied by the Ghost Clan should be divided, and how the assets under the Ghost Clan's name should be distributed.

Ye Jingchen had no intention of getting involved in these interests, but to his surprise, after the family heads finished discussing how to divide the pie, they concluded that 60 percent of the profits would be allocated to Ye Jingchen.

Among the assets transferred to Ye Jingchen's name are three garden villas in Tokyo, four nightclubs, seven underground clubs (including the club previously owned by the madwoman Hayakawako), a Michelin-starred restaurant, a residential property in Hokkaido, a seaside property in Shikoku, and a golf course in Kyushu. The account balance is equivalent to 130 million Japanese yen. The remainder is still being carefully calculated by the Sakurai family's top accountant.

Furthermore, he applied for Ye Jingchen to serve as the "Honorary High Priest of the Snake Clan." Compared to the position of Deputy Director of Planning that Ye Jingchen had previously proposed, this "Honorary High Priest" position has greater actual power, almost second only to the head of the Snake Clan.

Clearly, the Snake Clan wanted to bind Ye Jingchen together, but rather than binding him, it was more like they wanted to attach themselves to him, just like how Japan had attached itself to the United States and America before. This was their fine tradition.

"Very well, Japan is indeed suitable to become my territory. Besides, Erii is here to oversee things, so it's necessary to build a safe house." Ye Jingchen thought to himself, glancing at the documents in front of him and gesturing to his body that he needed a pen.

Standing behind Ye Jingchen, Inuyama Sezuko took a pen from the left breast pocket of her suit jacket and respectfully handed it to Ye Jingchen.

Ye Jingchen neatly signed his name on the document, then closed the blue plastic folder and stood up!

Except for Uesugi Kotsu, everyone present stood up!

Ye Jingchen looked around at everyone, "Senior Uesugi Yue, Genjiro, Genjiro, Uesugi Erii, Senior Inuyama, and all the other clan heads and allies, thank you for your sincere cooperation during this period. In the future, I hope that you will not forget your original intentions, keep your mission in mind, and work tirelessly for the prosperity of the Snake Clan and the cause of slaying dragons!"

Yuan Zhisheng took the lead and bowed slightly to Ye Jingchen: "Hi!"

The others (excluding Uesugi Koshi) also bowed slightly and said, "Hi!"

Ye Jingchen nodded, turned and walked out of the conference room. He didn't bring Erii with him, nor did he allow Inuyama Setsuko to follow. Next, he was going to the conference room next door to talk to the guys in Kassel.

Ye Jingchen silently pondered in his heart: "Apart from Angers, Chen Motong, and Manslundberg, the others seem to be of little use."

The meeting room door was open. Ye Jingchen knocked twice and went inside.

Inside was a large round table, around which sat Principal Angers, Minister Schneider, Professor Manslondberg, Ye Sheng, Chen Motong, and Jiu Deyaji.

Caesar was supposed to be there, but when he was slaying the giant squid, he and his uncle Frost escaped in a helicopter and should now be back in the Gattuso family's castle in Europe.

Ye Jingchen walked in and sat down between Chen Motong and Jiu Deyaji, choosing an empty seat.

Principal Angers snapped his fingers, and the open door to the meeting room closed.

Then, Schneider looked at Ye Jingchen and said in a hoarse voice, "Chen Motong has already told us about what happened between you and her in the underwater ruins. Where are you hiding the Holy Remains now?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingchen glanced at Chen Motong but did not blame her. He shrugged at Schneider and said, "I have destroyed the Holy Remains. I stopped the White King's resurrection by my own power."

Upon hearing this, Schneider was stunned for a moment. He was somewhat surprised by the reply and didn't know how to respond. He looked at Professor Manslondberg beside him, casting a look for help.

Professor Manslondberg noticed Schneider's gaze, and frankly, he didn't quite believe what Ye Jingchen said.

However, when facing the Ghost-toothed Viper underwater, even Angers said he could give up on rescuing him, but Ye Jingchen still risked his life to save him.

Based on the fact that he had received a favor from someone, Manslondberg really felt embarrassed to have the nerve to interrogate Ye Jingchen.

Professor Manslondberg, the mustachioed man who resembled the cold wind of a Siberian winter, chose to remain silent.

"Ye Jingchen." Principal Angers, who had been watching Ye Jingchen closely since he entered the conference room, was silent for a long time, noticing the atmosphere had turned icy.

Finally, he spoke.

Hilbert Jean Angers, his hand under the table stroking a small, sharp folding knife, its straight, pale blade already sprung from its sheath, asked, "Can you survive my folding knife now?"

Angers stared coldly at Ye Jingchen, trying to find out whether the boy's confidence came from Erii or from himself.

"Before, because my physical strength wasn't strong enough, I always felt I couldn't fully unleash the speed of the Word of Power: Moment. Now I think it should be enough to surpass Angers's Time Zero speed." Ye Jingchen estimated in his mind, staring straight at Angers, and said, word by word:

"I think I can give it a try."

Angers paused for a moment. He had always been extremely confident in his speed, and he also understood that someone like Ye Jingchen would not make such a boast unless he was absolutely certain.

A question arose in Angers' mind: "Does he already possess speed that surpasses mine? Or does he confidently believe that my folding knife cannot slit his throat? This folding knife is inlaid with the Philosopher's Stone..."

The meeting room was deathly silent. The gazes of the others kept shifting between Ye Jingchen and Principal Angers…
