Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 796: Laozi, I’m Here to Return

"What... How is this possible!"

Huang Yu, who initially thought he had victory in the bag, was shocked beyond words when he saw Huang Shi repeatedly gaining the upper hand because of Lin Feng’s outbursts. His jaw almost dropped to the floor when he heard Huang Shi listing Lin Feng’s numerous inconceivable abilities. It was just too unbelievable. Since when did Tianhai produce such a formidable person? How could this be possible? How could there not have been any news at all, and then suddenly he just appears out of nowhere? This...

Now, Huang Yu’s mind was completely panicked by the emergence of Lin Feng. For some reason, he had begun to sense the danger posed by Lin Feng. With Lin Feng’s presence, he even had a vague feeling that his originally perfect plan might encounter problems because of this one person—a possibility he had never considered. What to do now?

"Enough, stop talking! Second brother, even if Huang Shi did the right thing this time, what about the money he lost before? Now that Huang Shi has returned, we must give an explanation to the board. Otherwise, we will call a board meeting to deal with this matter in front of everyone!"

Huang Mingtian’s face was very dark. He had not expected that this Lin Feng, who was Huang Shi’s boss, would be so powerful. He was also skeptical that Lin Feng could really be that extraordinary, believing Huang Shi was exaggerating. But then it occurred to him that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. How could Huang Shi be making exaggerated claims at a time like this? This meant that what Huang Shi said was true, and that Lin Feng really was that formidable a person. This... this was not good!

What he needed to do now was to shift the focus to the previous gambling losses at all costs and not dwell on Lin Feng any longer. He felt that with Huang Shi’s outbursts, the momentum had already shifted entirely in Huang Shi’s favor. If they didn’t shift the topic away from Lin Feng, it was very likely that later on, they would be at a disadvantage in dealing with Huang Shi’s mistakes. How could this be possible? The goal today was to make Huang Shi give up his position as heir and to resolve that issue—that was the key.

However, after taking another look at Lin Feng, Huang Mingtian was equally shocked. He really had not expected Huang Shi to find someone so formidable. Since when did Tianhai have such a powerful person? This was truly too unbelievable. How could such an incredible Lin Feng have appeared in Tianhai, and even become Huang Shi’s boss...

"Right, today we need to resolve the issue of Huang Shi losing money. Second brother, I share the same opinion as our eldest brother. If Huang Shi doesn’t compensate the Group for the lost money, then we will have to call a board meeting to handle this matter."

Huang Mingtao was similarly astonished that Lin Feng turned out to be such an indescribably miraculous person. This was truly too inconceivable. What kind of background did Lin Feng have? An S-level supreme master as a steward? How could this be possible? Forget the Huang Family—no family in the whole of Tianhai could achieve this. What on earth was going on? No matter how much Huang Mingtao pondered, he couldn’t understand. How could Lin Feng, a young man, possess such heaven-defying abilities? Even Old Huang in the family was unmatched, so what kind of realm would an S-level be? It was likely beyond imagination...

Upon hearing his elder brother shift the topic, Huang Mingtao instantly realized what was happening, telling himself right, the issue at hand was about Huang Shi losing money. Why had the topic drifted to Huang Shi’s boss? This wouldn’t do. They had to quickly steer the conversation back on track, or else all the built-up momentum would dissipate. The plan now was to swiftly deal with Huang Shi’s issue and force the second brother to decide to give up Huang Shi’s position as heir.

When Huang Mingtian and Huang Mingtao spoke, the younger generation of the Huang Family all stopped talking and suddenly realized what was happening. They thought, right, today was about making Huang Shi give up his position as heir to the Group. How did the topic change? With this thought, they all withdrew their surprise at Lin Feng and turned to look at Huang Shi instead, thinking to themselves that having a powerful boss was no big deal and would be useless. Even if this boss was incredibly formidable, he couldn’t help Huang Shi. After all, this was an internal decision within the Huang Family, and how could an outsider possibly intervene?

In their view, even if Lin Feng was powerful, it was useless and he had no right to meddle in family affairs. As long as they took away Huang Shi’s position as heir to the Group, nothing else mattered. That was when Huang Shi would be truly worthless—that was the outcome they desired.

"Enough! If you have something to say, say it to me. Yes, I’ve lost money. What do you want me to do? Just say it. I’ll bear the responsibility alone. Don’t involve my father in this. I did these things myself. They have nothing to do with him!"

Hearing his granduncle and great-uncle speak to his father in this manner made Huang Shi even angrier. He had foreseen their intentions to take advantage of the situation, but he hadn’t expected their words to be so blatantly forceful now, openly pressuring his father. This was not what he wanted to see. His father had already taken on so much pressure for him. If he didn’t stand up now, then what kind of son would he be!

With this thought, Huang Shi could no longer control his emotions and roared at Huang Mingtian and Huang Mingtao. Despite them being his elders, at this moment, Huang Shi no longer regarded them as such. He wanted to take all the blame to relieve his father of this pressure. After all, this had started because of him and he should be the one to face it. He could give up the position of heir to the Group if necessary, but he absolutely couldn’t let his father suffer any further!

His gaze was cold towards the other family members in the room. He knew how cruel the infighting within a large family could be, yet facing it in reality still made him saddened. These people had all seemed so close on a daily basis, but when faced with interests, familial love seemed so pale. To be born into such a prominent family was truly a tragedy...

"Have you all said enough? Is it not just that my son lost some money? I, the father, will pay it back. What the hell does this have to do with the board or any of you! Stop spouting nonsense, this matter is settled. In three days, I will fill this financial hole!"

Huang Minghai, who had been holding back all this while, finally couldn’t restrain himself and exploded with a rebuke, his complexion turning very ugly. He was well aware of his two brothers’ and these young people’s thoughts within the family. With things having reached this point, and seeing his son’s performance, he felt a great sense of relief. At this moment, Huang Minghai decided to shoulder this matter. He believed that with how his son was at present, even if he could not develop a future within the Huang Group, he would likely not encounter any problems. Therefore, as his father, he should do what a father is supposed to do.

The reason he had not exploded earlier was that Huang Minghai wanted to see what his son was truly capable of. He had seen his son’s performance, and honestly, he was very pleased with the change in Huang Shi, his sense of responsibility. He had already forgiven his son. He was not afraid of his son losing money or failing; he was just scared his son would become an incompetent waste. However, reality proved that his son was no longer the same as before; his son had truly grown up!

Glancing at Lin Feng, Huang Minghai’s eyes filled with respect. He knew very clearly that without Lin Feng, his son would never have displayed such behavior today. It was also precisely because his son had spent so much time beside Lin Feng that he had undergone such a transformation. Therefore, Huang Minghai was sincerely grateful to Lin Feng.

For Huang Minghai, all the family wealth was trivial; what mattered was that his son could shake off the wastrel lifestyle and genuinely grow into a useful person, not a purposeless, profligate scion. The facts had proven that his son had indeed achieved this, all thanks to Lin Feng. How could he not be thankful!

However, it was his own two brothers who were now pressuring him over such a matter, causing Huang Minghai’s heart to ache profoundly. They were all brothers; why must things be pushed to such an extreme? Was it not all for the sake of benefits? Watching his many relatives behave this way at such a time, Huang Minghai felt incredibly conflicted, as if his heart was a jar of mixed spices, full of complex flavors!

Now they were pressuring him and his son? Fine, then he would act and shut everybody up with his actions!

With this thought, Huang Minghai declared that he would repay the debt and plug the group’s financial gap. Once the gap was plugged, what nonsense could these people spout? Having thoroughly recognized their true faces today, Huang Minghai already knew exactly how to proceed in the future.

Ah...

Is this still Uncle number two...

I... I’m not seeing things, am I...

...

The younger generation of the Huang Family was stunned by the sudden outburst from Huang Shi and his father; none of them had expected the Huang father and son to erupt simultaneously. What in the world was going on; were they still the same Huang Shi and Uncle number two? They were at a loss for words, their mouths agape, hardly able to believe what they were witnessing.

In the family, both Huang Minghai and Huang Shi were known to be approachable. The reason Huang Minghai was put in charge of the Huang Group was because of his extraordinary business talent. He was usually a very amiable person. How could he suddenly speak such words today? This was truly inconceivable. The same was true for Huang Shi; facing such a situation, just coming home was already commendable, not to mention his bold declaration. Could it be that Huang Shi no longer cared at all about the repercussions?

In their view, the usually amiable Huang Minghai and Huang Shi, facing such a hopeless situation now, should have agreed to oust Huang Shi from his position as heir to the Huang Group. The sum involved wasn’t minor, and even if Huang Minghai wanted to take on the burden, he would have to sell off some shares or assets. Such a move could likely cost him his chairman position and control over the Huang Group. Surely, Huang Minghai wouldn’t be so foolish as to do that. Hence, giving up Huang Shi’s status as the heir was the only way out.

Yet, Huang Minghai chose to fill the financial void, which meant all their previous plans fell through. Thinking of this, they were all deflated, unable to utter a word, but thinking deep down, from where would Huang Minghai obtain such a vast sum of money? If not, wouldn’t it mean completely cutting off his position as the chairman of the group? Could it be... could it be that the issue would be resolved just like that today? They were all utterly unwilling to let Huang Shi off so easily, knowing that if they missed this opportunity, there might never be another...
