”P-Player Yuan? Are you serious? You know Player Yuan?” The investors there were doubtful for obvious reasons.

”That’s a load of bullshit! He doesn’t know Player Yuan! He’s just trying to mess with all of you!” Yu Yong slammed the table and shouted.

”T-That’s right! There’s no way a nobody like him could know Player Yuan when nobody even knows his true identity!” Tang Lee also spoke.

The investors looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, one of them said, ”If you can prove to us that you know Player Yuan, I will stop supporting the Yu Family.”

”Mister Joe! What are you saying?!” Yu Yong looked at him in shock.

”Proof, huh? Sure, I can prove it to you that I know Player Yuan.” Yuan nodded, still with a smile on his face.

”However, before I give you proof, I’d like to talk about the other reason why I am here today.”

After deactivating his Dragon’s Gaze, Yuan turned to look at Meifeng and continued to speak, ”Miss Meifeng, the Yu Family will go bankrupt soon, so why don’t you come work for me instead?”

”Huh?” Meifeng’s eyes widened with shock.

”Good luck with that! According to her contract, she will work for us for the rest of her life unless she pays the contract cancellation fee of 50 billion dollars! Even if we go bankrupt or become homeless, she will still have to work for us!” Tang Lee said with a wide smirk on her face.

”If I don’t give a damn about my contract with the Yu Family, why would I care about hers?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

”You can ignore your contract all you want, but that doesn’t mean she will follow your recklessness. Isn’t that right, Meifeng? If you ignore the contract and betray the Yu Family, not only will you get in trouble, but so will your family.” Tang Lee looked at her with a threatening gaze.

Meifeng looked at Tang Lee and then at Meixiu.

”She’s right, Young Master. I cannot ignore my contract. I have an obligation to fulfill my contract. Please don’t make things difficult for me or my daughter…” Meifeng sighed.

”I see… That’s unfortunate, but there’s no need for you to feel bad about it.” Yuan shook his head.

”If you cannot ignore your contract, then you can simply buy your way out of the contract.”

”Y-Young Master… I don’t have 50 billion dollars…”

”Maybe not right now, but you’ll have it soon.” Yuan smiled at her.

”And if I help you acquire enough money to buy out of your contract, would you do so?”

”I—”

”It’s fine, I don’t actually want you to answer that question.” Yuan suddenly interrupted.

He returned his focus to the people at the table and continued, ”Is there anyone here that can contact Chairman Lee from the Cultivators’ Association?”

”What does he have anything to do with this?” They asked.

”You wanted proof that I know Player Yuan, right? Call him and you will get it.”

After a moment of silence, one of the people there said, ”I will call Chairman Lee.”

Once he dialed the numbers, everyone waited for Chairman Lee to answer the phone.

Several rings later, a voice resounded in the open speaker, ”This is Chairman Lee from the Cultivators’ Association speaking.”

”Good morning, Chairman Lee. This is David Swanson. It’s been a while since we last spoke. Do you remember me?”

”Of course I do, Mister Swanson. Your donations to the Cultivators’ Association will never be forgotten. Anyways, how can I help you today?”

”You see, I have a friend here who would like to speak with you. Do you mind sparing us a few moments of your time?”

”Sure. I can spare some time.”

David Swanson looked at Yuan and nodded.

”Hey, Chairman Lee, it’s me.” Yuan said out loud.

”H-Huh? This voice is…” Chairman Lee immediately recognized Yuan’s voice, especially since he’d heard Yuan speak just a few days ago at the concert.

”What’s going on? Did something happen between you and Mister Swanson?” Chairman Lee asked in a worried voice.

When the people there heard Chairman Lee’s response, they all raised an eyebrow.

”Something like that.” Yuan said.

And he continued, ”I told him that I knew Player Yuan, but he doesn’t believe me and even asked for proof. Can you, Chairman Lee of the Cultivators’ Association, attest to my claims?”

”Of course!” Chairman Lee immediately responded.

”Mister Swanson! Can you hear me?!”

”I-I can…”

”Listen to me very carefully, Mister Swanson! I can confirm his claims! He really knows Player Yuan! In fact, they’re practically best friends! Whatever you do, you better not upset my friend!” Chairman Lee said in a stern voice.

Everyone in the room was shocked by Chairman Lee’s words.

After snapping out of his daze, David Swanson spoke, ”W-Wait a second, Chairman Lee! It’s not that I don’t believe you, but do you even know who just spoke?! He didn’t even introduce himself!”

”I can recognize him by his voice alone. We have spoken to each other many times, after all. He is Yu Tian, correct?”

”T-That is correct…” David Swanson muttered, not daring to believe his ears.

”Then I have nothing else to say to you. My friend Yu Tian, if you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to call me, all right? I will talk to you later!” Chairman Lee hung up the next moment.

The entire room turned silent and nobody there would utter a single word for a whole minute.

”S-Since I have received Chairman Lee’s words that you know Player Yuan, I would like to ask you again— Are you sure that you can help us meet Player Yuan?” David Swanson stared at Yuan with narrowed eyes.

”Of course. We can even meet him right after this if you want. He’s currently in this city, after all.” Yuan nodded.

”Seriously?! If you can really get us to meet with Player Yuan, I will stop our support for the Yu Family!” David Swanson said.

”M-Me too!” Another one exclaimed.

Soon, everyone in the room agreed to stop supporting the Yu Family, leaving Yu Yong and Tang Lee absolutely dazed.
