Chapter 988 - Halting Their Support

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

”Thatʼs a load of bullshit! He doesnʼt know Player Yuan! Heʼs just trying to mess with all of you!” Yu Yong slammed the table and shouted.

”T-Thatʼs right! Thereʼs 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, Iʼd like to talk about the other reason why I am here today.”

After deactivating his Dragonʼs Gaze, Yuan turned to look at Meifeng and continued to speak, ”Miss Meifeng, the Yu Family will go bankrupt soon, so why donʼt you come work for me instead?”

”Huh?” Meifengʼs 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 donʼt 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 doesnʼt mean she will follow your recklessness. Isnʼt 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.

”Sheʼs right, Young Master. I cannot ignore my contract. I have an obligation to fulfill my contract. Please donʼt make things difficult for me or my daughter…” Meifeng sighed.

”I see… Thatʼs unfortunate, but thereʼs 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 donʼt have 50 billion dollars…”

”Maybe not right now, but youʼll 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—”

”Itʼs fine, I donʼt 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 Cultivatorsʼ 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 Cultivatorsʼ Association speaking.”

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

”Of course I do, Mister Swanson. Your donations to the Cultivatorsʼ 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, itʼs me.” Yuan said out loud.

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

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

When the people there heard Chairman Leeʼs response, they all raised an eyebrow.

”Something like that.” Yuan said.

And he continued, ”I told him that I knew Player Yuan, but he doesnʼt believe me and even asked for proof. Can you, Chairman Lee of the Cultivatorsʼ 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, theyʼre 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 Leeʼs words.

After snapping out of his daze, David Swanson spoke, ”W-Wait a second, Chairman Lee! Itʼs not that I donʼt believe you, but do you even know who just spoke?! He didnʼt 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, donʼt 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 Leeʼs 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. Heʼs 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.
