Chapter 479 - The Aftermath (2/2)
“Noted.”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun nodded and continued the meeting.
After a while, the meeting adjourned and many directors rose to their feet and bowed as w.a.n.g Xiaoyun and An Ya left the room. They kept their back bent for a few good minutes.
“Hew! Chairman is finally gone.”
“Old Hong, I thought I was going to have a heart attack.”
“Chairman is gaining more prestige by the day, and we are also beneficiaries of her fame and power. Now the Jin Xiu Group is under Young Lord Chen’s protection, no one would ever lay a finger on us.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and started murmuring to each other.
The situation was still as clear as mud to Manager Xu. He asked curiously: “Hey, what happened? Did Lord w.a.n.g, w.a.n.g Zhongguo finally acknowledge Chairman w.a.n.g as his daughter again?”
“Hehe. It has nothing to do with the w.a.n.g family. It’s her son. Young Lord Chen turned out to be an incredible force. Lao Xu, you should have gone with us to Hua Family residence last night, you missed a fantastic show.”
Manger Hong shook his head and said.
“Ah? Her son?”
The news set Manager Xu was back on his heels. “You mean that hoity-toity brat? What does he have to show for? All he could do is to mooch off his mother.”
“Hehe”
Manager Hong scoffed.
Director Xiao also heaved a sigh and said: “Lao Xu, your eyes are as good as blind. Our young master had unimaginable abilities like you wouldn’t believe. Come, come, let me fill you in.”
Manager Xu was rendered speechless after he heard the events of last night.
“General Major of Cang Dragon? Living Legend? CIA’s Divine Roll? OMG! Are you sure he is a mortal?”
Realization finally dawned upon him. He could finally make sense of everyone’s fearful feelings toward w.a.n.g Xiaoyun.
No one could have remained calm while working for the mother of such a powerful man. Her presence demanded their respect and fear. By then, Jin Xiu Group’s top position in the industry was unchallenged.
As for the Ji Family, Manager Xu had already forgotten about them.
They were just a prominent family in Zhong Hai, a far cry from the mighty living legend.
As people in the Jin Xiu Group grappled with the series of outlandish development, Chen Fan had left the Hua Family with Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa. The entire Hua Family lined up by the residence to see Chen Fan off. Before Chen Fan got on the vehicle, Hua Yunfeng bowed deeply.
“Farewell, Master.”
“Farewell, master.” Cheng Danqin and Hua Qinxiong followed the old man’s lead and knelt on the ground.
Hua Yunfeng didn’t straighten his back until Chen Fan’s vehicle had disappeared.
Hua Qinxiong also picked himself up from the ground. He dusted his pants and asked:
“Dad, even if he is the living legend, don’t you think we are being a little bit over the top? After all, you ranked number four on the Heaven roll and are of the semi-immortal level. Do you really have to be his disciple?”
“Just so! I felt he should have called you master.”
Hua Yuanhu was the Hua Family’s third-generation heir, he also put in indignantly.
“Fools! Immortal Master Chen is an Immortal sage, how dare you think so lightly of him? For that, you deserve a punishment. You shall kneel before our ancestor’s shrine for a day and reflect on your mistake!”
Hua Yunfeng’s face darkened and fumed.
Hua Yunfeng and Hua Qinxiong both lowered their heads in silent protest.
“Yes..”
Seeing the confusion and reluctant in their eyes, Hua Yunfeng furrowed his brows and waved a dismissal at the servants. Once he was alone with the core members of the Hua Family, he led them to the pavilion and said.
“You seem to disagree with your punishment?”
“No.”
Indignation was written all over Hua Qinxiong’s face.
“Humph!!”
Hua Yunfeng hissed at his son.
He walked over the edge of the pavilion and kept going. Under the Hua Family’s shocked eyes, Hua Yunfeng walked in the air as if he was walking on an invisible stairs.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Like a sage, Hua Yunfeng rode the wind and stepped on the cloud, getting closer and closer to the zenith of the firmament.
“Walking on air… this… this is…”
Hua Qinxiong and the others gaped at the incredible sight as a thought came up in their minds.
“Yes, the teacher had reached Immortal State last night and had become a living legend.”
Cheng Danqin put in. Complicated and strong emotions flashed in her eyes.
“Congratulations, father. The Hua Family is going to regain what we have lost!”
Hua Qinxiong kowtowed to his father as he trembled uncontrollably. Hua Yuanhu also beamed from side to side.
“Master Chen had given me what I have been seeking blindly for a hundred years. Now, do you still it is over the top for me to be his disciple?”
Hua Yunfeng lamented.
“What?”
The revelation set Hua Qinxiong and the others back on their heels as they looked to each other in fear and disbelief.
