Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 613 - 614: An Unexpected Incident

Demon subjugation meeting.

Demon subjugation?

At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on the young man, their hearts trembling. Who could have imagined such an outcome for today's demon subjugation meeting?

Now that young man stands there, so elevated, so unreachable, as if he himself were a king gazing down upon the world, unstoppable.

All ancient martial arts families of Fengzhou City have gathered here, thinking Xiao Tianyu has no escape, doomed to die. Yet now? His identity has been revealed to the world, making those ancient martial families only wait for judgment.

So, today's demon subjugation meeting has become a joke.

How could anyone dare to subdue Xiao Tianyu who controls the entire Emperor Star Academy? Unless they have a death wish.

Furthermore, even more shocking, he is the abandoned child Xiao Yun of the Xiao Family fifteen years ago. The waste of fifteen years ago has now transformed into an unparalleled and formidable figure.

The most conflicted in their hearts are undoubtedly Xiao Yuanshan and Duanmu Lanshan. That elevated young man was their offspring, expelled from the family fifteen years ago when Xiao Tianyu couldn't cultivate. But now, Xiao Tianyu is beyond even their wildest dreams.

The Xiao Family could have had him dominate the world, but now, everything is just wishful thinking.

Moreover, after today, Fengzhou City will no longer have top-tier ancient martial arts families because of today's battle. Aside from the Xiao Family, the clan leaders and ancestors of the other three families have tragically died, their foundations weaker than before, naturally exiting the ranks of peak-tier families.

As for the Xiao Family, Xiao Yuanshan was crippled by Xiao Tianyu at Xiao Ziyan's birthday banquet. Now, the Xiao Family only has Duanmu Lanshan, a Celestial Level expert, which no longer classifies them as a peak-tier family.

"Clean up!" At this moment, Xiao Tianyu spoke slowly.

"Yes!" Mo Cang and others nodded.

Xiao Tianyu calmly descended the steps, the crowd instinctively making way for him, especially the female students of the academy, gazing at him with adoration.

Some wished they could just jump on him, hold him tight, and enact justice right there.

Of course, Xiao Tianyu ignored all of this.

"Yun'Er!" Duanmu Lanshan couldn't help but call out.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu halted, but his gaze remained unchanged, causing Duanmu Lanshan's heart to ache faintly.

Thud~

Finally, Duanmu Lanshan's knees buckled, and she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down.

Xiao Tianyu felt no ripple in his heart, even if his biological mother was kneeling there.

Then Xiao Tianyu coldly said, "Are you seeking my sympathy?"

"No... Fifteen years ago was a grave mistake made by your mother. I don't hope for your forgiveness, just wish you'd look at me!" Duanmu Lanshan's voice trembled. "This is just a small request from your mother, can you?"

"Mistake!" Xiao Tianyu shook his head. "I have no mother. Xiao Yun died fifteen years ago, so I have no relationship with the Xiao Family. As for Ziyan, I will take good care of her!"

With that, Xiao Tianyu stepped forward, never once glancing at Duanmu Lanshan.

To remedy the mistakes of fifteen years ago now, is it possible?

Does he still care about this now? Fifteen years ago, where was she?

Watching Xiao Tianyu's retreating figure, Duanmu Lanshan felt a mix of emotions. She didn't hope for Xiao Tianyu's forgiveness, just wished for him to look at her, yet it was all unattainable.

She knew that once Xiao Tianyu left, it would be difficult to see him again in this lifetime. But what does it matter; if she had known this, why act as she did back then?

…

The power core of Gu Corporation, the President's office.

At this moment, Gu Yunxi wore a standard professional suit, seated in the office, reviewing documents, exuding the aura of a business queen.

Knock knock~

A knocking sound echoed, and Gu Yunxi lowered her head and spoke, "Come in!"

As the voice fell, a woman in professional attire with an air of elegance, holding documents, entered directly towards Gu Yunxi. Only then did Gu Yunxi set down her pen, raised her beautiful eyes, and gazed at the visitor.

She spoke coolly, "Luo Yan, what's the matter?"

"President, please first look at this document!" Luo Yan's eyes sparkled as she handed the file to Gu Yunxi. Gu Yunxi reached out, opened the file bag, took out the documents, and upon reading them, her eyes suddenly flashed with sharpness: "When did this happen?"

"Today!" Luo Yan replied to Gu Yunxi: "Early this morning, the finance department received notifications from all major banks, and now all banks in Fengzhou City have terminated their partnership with Gu Corporation. In other words, they refuse to lend money to Gu Corporation. If this continues, it might lead to..."

"Have you checked the reason for this?" Gu Yunxi's voice remained calm, after all, having experienced major challenges as the head of such a large company.

As the saying goes, a true leader remains composed even when facing a sudden crisis.

"I have checked!" Luo Yan nodded and continued, "It's all Murong Group's doing. They've now controlled all major banks in Fengzhou City. It seems before the financial conference, they're already targeting Gu Corporation. The president should have a countermeasure ready!"

"Prepare for me, I want to talk to the bank presidents!"

"It might be useless!" Luo Yan shook her head. "However, there's one place the president could try, maybe..."

"Where?"

"Celestial Universe International Bank!" Luo Yan stated straightforwardly. "Celestial Universe International Bank seldom lends externally, but at least the president can give it a try, and I believe that even Murong Yunlong, with all his connections, couldn't possibly have control over Celestial Universe International Bank!"

"Besides, the president knows Xiao Tianyu!"

"Do you think Xiao Tianyu is really the president of Celestial Universe International Bank?" Gu Yunxi's eyes sparkled.

"If not, what then?"

"He's so stingy, I don't think he fits the profile!" Gu Yunxi's voice was indifferent, thinking if he were truly the president, would he have cheated me out of fifteen million for no reason? Clearly, he's just a miser, isn't he?

"Why does the president say that?"

Luo Yan felt puzzled and continued, "You once asked me to investigate the identity of the mysterious person at Celestial Universe International Hotel. Now it's clear, all fingers point to Xiao Tianyu. Moreover, judging by the way Mo Hanshan, the manager at Celestial Universe International Hotel, addressed him, calling him president, does the president think there's something suspicious?"

"Never mind about these things for now!" Gu Yunxi waved her hand. "You may leave first!"
