A distraught Wang Qianjun picked up the phone, and an extremely panicked voice came from the other end: "Sir, it’s bad news! The Li Family suddenly attacked all our major industries, our funds can’t compete, the entire Wang Family’s industries are in danger!"

Wang Qianjun’s pupils constricted again.

The Li Family is making trouble, utterly ruthless!

If it were normal times or before, the Li Family making trouble wouldn’t faze the Wang Family, at most, no one would be having an easy time.

But now, it’s different.

Lately, the Wang Family has suffered heavy losses time and again. Some time ago, they were extorted severely by the Martial Arts Lu Family, and now they’re fully dealing with the Eastern Group. At this time, with the Li Family launching a capital war, the Wang Family has no power to resist!

A short while later.

Wang Qianjun’s phone rang again.

He answered.

A terrified voice came from the other side: "Sir, it’s bad news! The bank suddenly called us, demanding that we handle our loan debts quickly!"

Another call came in.

"Sir, it’s bad news! The Li Family suddenly turned their backs on us; they originally agreed to lend us funds, but now they’ve canceled the agreement!"

"Sir, it’s bad news! The Wang Company under the Huang Family’s name suddenly questioned us, saying the supply we provided them has quality issues, and they’re asking for breach of contract damages!"

"..."

Wang Qianjun slumped on the sofa, listening to the contents of one call after another, feeling the strength in his body being drained bit by bit, until finally, he was paralyzed, motionless, with a face like dead ash.

Perhaps because he had heard the same lines too many times in a short period, the phrase continued to echo in his mind relentlessly.

"Sir, it’s bad news!"

This phrase almost drove Wang Qianjun to a rage, yet he didn’t have the strength to even move.

Wang Qianjun closed his eyes, unwilling to show the despair and collapse in them.

He knew, defeat was as overwhelming as a mountain collapsing.

This battle was essentially a fight to the death. If the Eastern Group lost, blood would flow like a river. If he, Wang Qianjun, lost, wouldn’t it also mean no remains left?

One victory means a hundred victories, one loss means complete loss, and everyone tramples down!

This is human nature.

Ring!

The phone emitted a crisp sound, and Wang Qianjun instinctively glanced at it; it was a text message.

He opened it to see that it was sent from afar by Ye Xuan.

The content was simple, yet it caused Wang Qianjun’s eyes to widen, and his face turned alternating hues of red and blue out of extreme anger, looking utterly hideous.

The text read: "Sir, it’s bad news!"

Seeing this message from Ye Xuan, Wang Qianjun’s eyes widened, and his thin body trembled more violently, as if the strength he had lost suddenly returned.

Enraged to the extreme!

In all these years, when had he, Wang Qianjun, ever suffered such humiliation?

It was just a text message, but the words in it, how piercingly painful! What a petty sneer!

"Bastard, bastard!"

Wang Qianjun cursed to the sky, wishing to destroy everything.

Ring!

The phone chimed again.

Driven by masochism, Wang Qianjun opened it.

"Don’t spit blood, your health is important."

Wang Qianjun’s eyes bulged, his body shivered.

Pfft!

A mouthful of bright red blood spewed out.

This mouthful of blood seemed to expel endless frustration and anger. In an instant, Wang Qianjun felt much lighter, but also much weaker.

He only felt his vision blurring until it finally turned completely black.

Wang Qianjun fell unconscious.

At the moment of losing consciousness, he was still raging inside.

"Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan!"

...

Conspiracy.

From beginning to end, this struggle was nothing but a conspiracy between two people.

Wang Qianjun struck first, thinking his plot was flawless, believing that with the support of the Holy Mansion, no matter how Ye Xuan turned, it wouldn’t change the result.

His scheme was vicious enough, yet he didn’t anticipate that Ye Xuan was even more ruthless!

The so-called visiting various countries was just a facade, as the saying goes, to destroy someone, one must first make them swell with pride.

Wang Qianjun was the one who swelled.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s every move unfolding accurately within his plan, Wang Qianjun thought the Wang Family was secure, but it turned out from start to finish, it was Ye Xuan who held the real power!

An unexpected counterattack caught everyone off guard.

The Eastern Group achieved a great victory.

The Li Family, banks, other families, etc. — almost all forces seemed to reach a consensus at a moment’s notice, swarming at the weakest point of the Wang Family, each taking the opportunity to ruthlessly trample them.

The world is cold, human hearts are fickle!

To call it coincidence, only a fool would believe it.

To say all this was arranged by Ye Xuan from the beginning, then this young man must be extraordinarily terrifying.

The world knows Ye Xuan as a top-notch expert, but little do they realize, that guy is also a born schemer!

This was practically a death blow for the Wang Family!

The entire Yan Country was in an uproar.

"This time, the Wang Family put all their effort into striking the Eastern Group, and ultimately failed. The Eastern Group not only survived the crisis but even thrived and reached a long-term strategic partnership with the Carter Family; it’s simply unbelievable!"

"Is Ye Xuan really that formidable?"

"It’s over, it’s all over. This defeat, not only jeopardizes the Wang Family’s status, but even a slight misstep could lead to complete ruin!"

"So terrifying, that Ye Xuan, single-handedly forced the once-thriving Wang Family to this state, is he still human? Is he still human?"

"The Li Family led other families in launching an unprecedented siege on the Wang Family at the same time. Such a move is simply astonishing!"

"How many years has it been? Decades, right? I’ve lived most of my life and have never personally witnessed such a sensational event. Could it be... a new era is coming?"

"I heard Wang Qianjun spat blood and was taken to the hospital; the Wang Family is already in chaos!"

"The Wang Family is finished!"

Countless nobles and elite families were agitated and anxious.

The stock market was equally tumultuous.

"The Eastern Group reached a 20-year strategic partnership with the Carter Family, securing its position as the number one building material merchant, even among the top three in the world, and the stock soared!"

"Life’s ups and downs are astonishing; at the morning opening, the Eastern Group was down to the limit, yet nearing closure, it skyrocketed, hitting the limit with a 20% increase, something seen only once in a decade!"

"It’s confirmed, the Eastern Group is undoubtedly the most sensational stock in the last thirty years of the stock market; investors in this stock are gaining immense wealth!"

"After the turmoil, the Eastern Group’s market value crossed the $100 billion mark in one go. Experts predict that within three years, the Eastern Group will break the $1 trillion mark, even the $10 trillion mark!"

"The undisputed number one building material giant has been born!"
