Chapter 1063 1062: The Arrival of Asura (1/2)
Morning.
Yang Chen got up early, warmed up, exercised, and prepared breakfast.
Although he's the leader here, it seems like cooking has always been his responsibility since no one else's culinary skills surpass Yang Chen's.
So this heavy task always hangs on Yang Chen's shoulders.
Yang Chen finished making the meal, and Zhang Yiran, after finishing her training, walked over sweating profusely, and gasped, saying to Yang Chen, "Boss, you're pretty much spot-on. Left Envoy Yang invited everyone for a banquet because he has something to discuss."
"Hmm." Yang Chen nodded slightly in response.
Zhang Yiran grabbed a piece of salad and said, "Left Envoy Yang said the Nine Venerables plan to truly unite everyone, integrate all family industries, and form Nine Venerables Group to develop collectively, create a common prosperous entity, and make a joint effort to become a huge financial power in Flame Country. But I calculated, the possibility is small, it's basically not going to happen."
Yang Chen couldn't help but smile, looking at Zhang Yiran and asking, "How can you be so sure?"
"No main leader! Now the leader doesn't show up, and in the future, the leader is unclear. It's like a headless dragon; how can it succeed?" Zhang Yiran said with a pout, having full confidence in his family's prediction skills.
Yang Chen was slightly taken aback, frowning and saying, "The main leader... should refer to the Venerable Master of the Nine Venerables, right? So far, there seems to be no news about the Venerable Master. This person hides really well!"
Zhang Yiran pouted and said, "Mysterious indeed, but in my view, he's just a guy who hides his head and shows his tail, nothing much."
"What about the strength?" Yang Chen asked.
Zhang Yiran shook his head, "Not very clear, but... my dad said he's quite formidable."
Yang Chen frowned slightly, becoming vigilant inside.
According to Yang Chen's speculation, the Venerable Master's strength might be above that of Left Envoy Yang, otherwise, with Left Envoy Yang's personality, it's impossible to submit to someone weaker.
At this time, Wei Xueqing also came downstairs, ready to eat.
Now Wei Xueqing has already gotten used to eating Yang Chen's cooking; she can no longer eat food from outside, especially breakfast. If she doesn't eat breakfast prepared by Yang Chen, along with the porridge he makes, she won't be energetic all morning.
At the dining table, Wei Xueqing couldn't help but ask Zhang Yiran about the situation at last night's banquet. Zhang Yiran roughly explained it, but he didn't tell Wei Xueqing the details, as she didn't need to worry about these matters.
After eating, Yang Chen returned to the room; it was already eight o'clock.
He opened his computer and immediately got in touch with Luke Leonard.
Seeing Yang Chen, Luke Leonard couldn't help but laugh, "Boss, long time no see!"
Yang Chen responded with a slight smile, "Yeah, long time no see."
Though they had spoken on the phone a few days ago, it's been a year since they last met.
Yang Chen noticed something odd about the building behind Luke Leonard and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you now?"
"I'm in Xibo! See, this building is the property I invested in five years ago and has been in use for over two years now. I specially reserved the best spot from where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Xibo's beauty." Luke Leonard held the camera for Yang Chen to see the scenery through the glass window.
Yang Chen asked, "Are you planning to stay in Xibo?"
"Why not?" Luke Lunan laughed, "Currently, we have reached deep cooperation with Golden Avenue. I believe soon we'll be able to gather a fortune, and our financial group has pretty much accumulated enough."
"How soon can we take action?" Yang Chen asked.
Luke Leonard replied, "That depends on your actions domestically. You must seize the two properties in Ancheng and develop them as quickly as possible, to get the funds flowing. Then, we can make a sudden move and catch other large financial groups off guard, fully solidifying our position!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but frown. Property development is not child's play; it requires a lengthy process. With such a large volume of work, how can it be completed in a short amount of time?
After a moment of silence, Yang Chen said gravely, "Send over some top-tier designers to participate in the property's design. Also, dispatch a team from Lu Country as well. I need the best team to design this property to make the building a world-class landmark!"
"No problem!" Luke Leonard nodded.
Yang Chen asked, "What do you think about the situation in the Northern Federation?"
Hearing this, Luke Leonard frowned and said, "Looking at the current situation, I think we need to be patient and not act impulsively. I remember Flame Country has a saying, hide and not act, amaze with one strike, don't act when needed, but strike with thunder when you do! Don't give them the chance to fight back!"
Yang Chen doesn't recall which ancestor of Flame Country said such a saying, but he understood the meaning.
"So, you mean, we prepare everything, catch them off guard, and leave them no chance of resistance?"
"Right!" Luke Leonard nodded.
Although he's from Northern Federation, he doesn't hold any fondness for it; his loyalty lies solely with Yang Chen.
Yang Chen pondered for a moment, then said gravely, "Now everyone is in Flame Country. Although it might be hard for Northern Federation to know, I think it's better to prevent possible issues. Northern Federation definitely will act against Flame Country eventually. Make sure you're ready and acquire more high-tech industries, just in case!"
Luke Leonard couldn't help but laugh, "I understand, the most profitable industries right now are tech industries. I wouldn't give up on such an opportunity!"
Yang Chen nodded slightly.
After discussing some follow-up plans with Luke Leonard, Yang Chen hung up the video call.
At ten o'clock.
Night Fire drove a convoy to First-Grade Kingdom, stopping at the villa next door.
The villa next door was bought for Wei Xueqing, but she hadn't lived there; now it was perfect to accommodate the people from Asura Hall.
Yang Chen stood at the fence gate waiting.
The first SUV stopped, and a graceful figure immediately rushed towards Yang Chen.
As fast as a mother leopard.
Yang Chen saw this, couldn't help but smile wryly, and opened his arms.
Bang!
The figure fiercely crashed into Yang Chen's embrace, making a muffled sound.
Yang Chen smiled wryly and said, "Are you trying to kill me!"
Meng Po hugged Yang Chen tightly, as if trying to mold him into her body, squeezing him to the point where Yang Chen had difficulty breathing.
Suddenly, Yang Chen felt a warmth on his chest. Looking down, he saw Meng Po was already in tears, her tears soaking his shirt.
"I'll never leave you again! I'll never leave you again! This time, no matter how much you try to send me away, I won't go! I won't leave you ever again! Unless I die! Otherwise, don't even think about disappearing or risking anything! Even if it means dying, I'll die before you if a bullet comes your way, I'll stand in front of you!" Meng Po cried in Yang Chen's arms with a sobbing tone.
