Feigning slight surprise, Ye Nanxiao reached for the small gold ball and tossed it in the air, laughing, "I didn't expect that the 'minor troubles' Chairman An mentioned would actually be minor troubles at the vice-chairman level?"
"This is indeed a difficult matter for you."
An Litong snorted coldly and nodded in agreement with Ye Nanxiao's words, "It is indeed a difficult matter. Now that you, sir, know about this, I think you won't go back on your promise, will you?"
"Of course not, but when does Chairman An plan to make his move? You know, it's your Aodu Chamber of Commerce that's short on time right now. Everyone's time is precious, don't you think, Chairman An?" Ye Nanxiao placed the refined gold ball on his middle finger and spun it around.
Looking at the finger Ye Nanxiao raised, An Litong frowned. For some reason, he felt that the finger Ye Nanxiao raised was somewhat irritating.
After pondering for a moment, An Litong said, "My lord, please wait a little longer. I have already secretly gathered manpower. As soon as the time is right, I will secretly take down Li Yuanren and reclaim the resources in his hands."
Halfway through his sentence, An Litong hesitated for a moment, then added, "But Li Yuanren is a cautious man; it will take some time to take him down in secret."
After speaking, An Litong shifted his gaze to Ye Nanxiao's face, wanting to observe Ye Nanxiao's expression.
But the result was beyond An Litong's expectations. Ye Nanxiao gently placed the small gold ball on the table, blew on his middle fingernail, and said casually, "Oh my, I didn't expect President An to be such a busy person. He's been secretly mobilizing resources and gathering manpower. If I remember correctly, President An already entered the ranks of ninth-level Soul Masters ten years ago. Taking down a vice president who only has the cultivation of a Soul Douluo shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Or is Chairman An deliberately stalling for time? Or has Chairman An lost control of his subordinates?"
Ye Nanxiao said with a forced smile, completely ignoring An Litong, who was sitting opposite him with an extremely gloomy expression.
An Litong took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, and kept telling himself that the person in front of him was sent by Xiao Hongchen, and that he could not act impulsively.
If you act impulsively and ruin things, then all the plans you've made for so long will come to nothing.
Forcing a smile, An Litong tried his best to make his voice sound normal. "Sir, you are quite the joker. I am not like you. Having walked in the shadows for many years, I am bound to be more cautious in my actions."
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand, crossed his legs, and said with a disdainful expression, "Then Chairman An's concerns are a bit unnecessary. Just summon them in the name of the chairman. Once they come, just kill them."
"What if they don't come?" An Litong asked subconsciously.
Ye Nanxiao looked at An Litong as if she were an idiot. "Not coming? That's even better, just take her out."
Under Ye Nanxiao's undisguised gaze, An Litong felt his face burning with anger. Since the establishment of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, no one had dared to treat him like this, especially since he considered Ye Nanxiao just a gofer.
After a brief burst of anger, An Litong calmed down.
The errand boy in front of me is so confident, Xiao Hongchen must have given him a lot of power, otherwise how could an errand boy dare to be so arrogant?
An Litong, who suddenly understood, immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Since that's the case, then let's do as you say, sir."
Ye Nanxiao was slightly taken aback. It seemed that he had underestimated An Litong's level of patience.
However, upon further reflection, he could guess what An Litong was thinking. He was actually wearing the tiger skin of Xiao Hongchen, the young master of Mingde Hall.
I am now like a fox in tiger's skin.
Thinking of the "tiger skin" he was wearing, Ye Nanxiao immediately put on a standard smile.
"President An, you'd better hurry up, otherwise, it's not just Young Master Hongchen who'll be getting impatient. He's really eager to make a contribution to show the higher-ups." Ye Nanxiao stood up, yawned widely, and said lazily.
Who are those people upstairs? Could it be that someone else besides Mingde Hall is involved?
In an instant, An Litong's mind began to race.
Ye Nanxiao's words surprised him.
He had thought he could curry favor with Mingde Hall, but he hadn't expected there to be someone even higher up there. Who could this person be, someone whose status was even higher than Xiao Hongchen's? Someone from the royal family?
Taking in An Litong's reaction, Ye Nanxiao held back his laughter. He hadn't expected that a casual remark from him would cause An Litong to imagine a whole host of things.
"No, with Xiao Hongchen's arrogant nature, he wouldn't even put his peers in the royal family in his eyes! And with Jing Hongchen's intimidation, no one in the royal family would dare to lay a hand on Xiao Hongchen, let alone cooperate with him. Xiao Hongchen wouldn't be interested in him. So who could it be?" An Litong quickly analyzed in his mind.
Feigning a look of trepidation, An Litong said to Ye Nanxiao, "I understand. With your help, sir, we will surely be able to quickly subdue those scoundrels who are disrupting my guild!"
Ye Nanxiao chuckled and said, "It seems Chairman An has made his choice. However, time is precious, so it's better to wipe them all out in one fell swoop. Chairman An, do you understand what I mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, An Litong narrowed his eyes, a look of hesitation on his face.
If they gather Li Yuanren and the others as Ye Nanxiao suggested, and the situation gets out of control, An Litong will be in a difficult position to handle the consequences.
The spies lurking in the shadows have gathered a lot of information. Li Yuanren isn't the only one making underhanded moves. An Litong also discovered that the other two vice presidents have a lot of secret activities, and neither of them are easy to deal with.
After carefully considering his words, An Litong said, "Sir, you mean to gather these people together. If other forces take advantage of this situation to invade, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce may face a great calamity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, An Litong saw Ye Nanxiao looking at him with the same gaze he was giving an idiot.
"Hehe, President An is overthinking it. I'm sure the Ordinary Alliance and the Evening Water Alliance will give my young master some face. At the very least, they'll back down because of the person in charge. So President An, you can rest assured," Ye Nanxiao said lazily.
After mentally guessing the names of no fewer than twenty people, An Litong couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, sir, who are you referring to above?"
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand on An Litong's face, and a flash of orange light appeared.
An Litong's eyes widened immediately. With his cultivation as a Title Douluo, he naturally saw clearly what the fleeting orange light was.
"That, that is, could it be, the Crown Princess?" An Litong was shocked.
If she is indeed the Crown Princess, then what this errand boy said makes sense. The Crown Princess's identity is indeed still above Xiao Hongchen. Moreover, the person standing behind the Crown Princess is the current Crown Prince!
Thinking of the current Crown Prince's reputation, it was all earned through blood and bone!
"Sir, what is your name?" An Litong took out another small gold ball, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Ye Nanxiao.
Upon seeing the second small ball of refined gold, Ye Nanxiao immediately dropped his lazy expression and looked at An Litong with admiration.
That old guy's not bad, his brain works pretty fast, though I don't know what he's conjuring up in his head.
"My code name is Kizaru!" Ye Nanxiao put the two small gold orbs into his soul guide bracelet and pushed open the door to go out.
"As long as the funds are in place, I'll send everyone flying. I'll just wait for Chairman An's arrangements."
In An Litong's perception, Ye Nanxiao disappeared the moment he stepped out of his sight.
"Code name Kizaru, as expected of that person's subordinate, truly remarkable!" An Litong leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes.
Since he is under the Crown Prince's command, An Litong doesn't need to worry about the issues mentioned earlier. After all, the underworld is dependent on Mingdu, and the Crown Prince is already considered half the master of Mingdu.
"Men, cancel all covert resource mobilization operations and have all personnel on standby!" An Litong ordered.
"Yes, President." A figure completely shrouded in a black robe pushed open the door, bowed to An Litong, and then ordered the person to leave the room.
"Now, even the Crown Prince is helping me. Shangguan Weier, Nangong Wan, humph, let's see what you can do against me!" An Litong snorted coldly, a hint of coldness appearing on his face.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Yuanren and the other two received orders from An Litong.
"Could he finally be about to make a move? This old man." Li Yuanren sighed softly.
An Litong's order came too quickly; he had no time to act.
After issuing a few simple orders, Li Yuanren set off with Wang Yu.
Since he couldn't wait for Mu Shiyi's actions, Li Yuanren would be the first to arrive, in order to dispel some of An Litong's suspicions.
Feng Shu also took a lot of soul-guided shields to protect himself before leaving the hiding place with more than a dozen trusted men.
The calmest reaction came from Wu Ye. After receiving An Litong's order, Wu Ye calmly directed the assassins he had secretly contacted, discussed a specific plan with Fan Xian, and then set off.
Based on the previous contact information, An Litong informed Ye Nanxiao that he had gathered everyone in a building under the name of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
After learning the ambush location, Ye Nanxiao still infiltrated the building under the guise of a "tiger skin".
Using the cover of the "Frozen Flower" and An Litong's imagination, Ye Nanxiao spent several days and spent a lot of money, consuming two-thirds of his arsenal, to set up hundreds of combined magic arrays and hundreds of silence beads throughout the entire building.
Once Ye Nanxiao activates the magic array at the core, all the magic arrays buried throughout the building will start operating, transforming the building into a high-energy, reactive soul-guided device.
If destroyed from the inside, this high-energy soul tool will instantly transform into a huge bomb, with a power comparable to three level-nine fixed-rotation soul-guided cannon shells.
It's enough to send everyone inside the building to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
