Chapter 128 - Who Agrees and Who Objects (2/2)

That was due to both sides having great fundamental differences to begin with. The might that Song Shijie commanded came from the formidable powers that the Song Clan and the Holy Dragon Corporation wielded.

If the other party were to be wary of the Holy Dragon Corporation and of the Song Clan, there was no doubt he would have had his way with things. It was just like how things had been before, where he was able to make most of the tycoons present submit without doing much, making them part of his power.

However, when faced with someone like Lu Xuan, who played against conventions, the huge gap between him and Lu Xuan was exposed right away.

Song Shijie was but a fox who threw his weight around because he was backed by a tiger, yet Lu Xuan was, without a doubt, the tiger behind the fox.

Song Shijie’s power came from the Song Clan and the Holy Dragon Corporation, while Lu Xuan’s power came all from himself. He alone was a force of nature.

Lin Miaoyi was unable to help but shake her head. The superiority of goods was derived from the competition between goods, and likewise, the superiority of people was derived from such competition between people.

“So what if I killed someone?” Lu Xuan smirked faintly and continued, “Do you really think I’m here to negotiate with you in peace, to look for a solution benefiting both of us?”

Everyone was stunned by what Lu Xuan just said. That was a blatant display of forcefulness and supremacy.

Song Shijie gritted his teeth, and his face was flushed red. However, he dared not do anything rash. The fact that Lu Xuan chopped off Wen Ziteng’s head without breaking a sweat had completely put him on the defensive.

He had no doubt been able to command Wen Ziteng as if the latter was his dog—a dog of National Guardian caliber.

Yet, he was able to do so because he was backed by the Song Clan and the Holy Dragon Corporation. Wen Ziteng dared not act against such gigantic forces, and he was even eager to join them.

Otherwise, a National Guardian would have made short work of him for barking orders to them like that.

The difference in power between both sides was simply too great.

However, that did not mean that he was unaware of what kind of feats that National Guardians were capable of. Such figures would have been able to easily steer the fate and direction of a small nation single-handedly, after all.

Their powers were immeasurable.

Yet, such figures ended up dead by a single swing of the blade before Lu Xuan all the same.

The shock to Song Shijie was profound. Lu Xuan was not known as the number one in Min Province for no reason, after all.

“I’d have held nothing against you and the Holy Dragon Corporation for wanting to make a foothold here in Min Province, but you made a grave mistake on stepping on my head to do so.” Lu Xuan grinned and continued, “Who the f*ck do you think you are? Know your place, damn it. You are what you are because of that old fart Song Lingfeng, and even that old fart Song Lingfeng means nothing to me. Yet, you think you’re somebody, huh?”

A hint of indifference was seen in Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“You… you know of the Great Ancestor?” A hint of shock was seen in Song Shijie’s eyes.

The man named Song Lingfeng that Lu Xuan just mentioned was the true backing and trump card that the lineage of the Song Clan in the Holy Dragon Corporation relied on.

That Great Ancestor was one of the founders of the Holy Dragon Corporation, who enjoyed a very esteemed status in the conglomerate.

It was just that said Great Ancestor had been shutting himself in, training in isolation for many years as of late, and he would not be venturing outside without good reason. No one outside would have known of that old man, and Song Shijie was puzzled as to how Lu Xuan learned about this matter.

Lu Xuan snorted indifferently. He definitely knew Song Lingfeng. He had been on Song Shijie’s hit list back in his past life, and his successful kill of Song Shijie lured one such old monster of the Song Clan out.

Although Lu Xuan had not been able to fight toe-to-toe against Song Lingfeng back then and had to lay low for a time, he had, nonetheless, finally been able to get rid of Song Lingfeng after making a frightening progress in his cultivation.

“You really think you can throw your weight around just because you have Song Lingfeng behind you?” Lu Xuan continued coldly, “I’ll tell you this much, Song Lingfeng will end up dead all the same, even if he were to show up here himself.

“I heard that someone said something about forming a coalition or an alliance or something in the province earlier. I think that is quite a good idea. I’d like to see who agrees and who objects.”

Lu Xuan scanned the crowd with his very pointed gaze.
