"Let him go."
Everyone was stunned when they realized it was Jiang Chen who had said those words.
Neither the Jiang Family mbers nor Ling Xuan could believe it.
After all, the Jiang Family was desperately trying to convince Ling Xuan to stay. For Jiang Chen to say sothing like this at such a ti was unthinkable.
The other mbers of the Jiang Family stared at each other in dismay.
So of the clansn even wanted to reprimand Jiang Chen for his insolence.
"Jiang Chen, how could you speak to Mr. Ling like that?"
"You’re so arrogant you don’t even know your place."
"Don’t you know that Mr. Ling is the financial pillar of our Jiang Family?"
One by one, the clansn began to condemn Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s rudeness was sure to infuriate Ling Xuan. He was already planning to leave, and now that Jiang Chen had said this, there was probably no chance of keeping him.
The clansn were deeply disappointed in Jiang Chen.
At that mont, everyone looked toward Jiang Han.
Their aning was clear: they all wanted Jiang Han to step in.
"Patriarch, hurry up and make Jiang Chen apologize to Mr. Ling."
"It’s too disrespectful! Mr. Ling is incredibly important to us. We can let it slide when Jiang Chen fools around normally, but at a ti like this, his actions are just causing trouble for the Jiang Family."
Even one of the clansn in charge of the accounts finally couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Patriarch, Young Master Jiang Chen has already taken one hundred thousand essence crystals from the family."
"That hundred thousand is a huge deficit, and he still dares to speak like this... I’m at a loss for words."
Faced with the accusations from his clansn,
Jiang Han’s expression turned grim.
He looked at his son.
Although he knew they probably couldn’t stop Ling Xuan from leaving,
his son’s words had undoubtedly given Ling Xuan an extra push out the door. The chances of convincing him to stay were now slim to none.
He said helplessly, "Son, you are truly too willful."
"I can overlook it on a normal day, but this ti, you must apologize to Mr. Ling."
His tone beca stern. This was no small matter, and he felt he had no other choice.
Jiang Chen rose from his chair.
He said to his father, Jiang Han, "Father, let handle this."
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Chen walked toward Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan, for his part, watched Jiang Chen with a cold sneer.
He made no effort to hide his disdain and contempt for Jiang Chen.
"You wet-behind-the-ears brat, you’ll regret what you’ve said."
Seeing Jiang Chen approach, Ling Xuan imdiately pointed at him, his face contorted with rage.
Jiang Chen had made him lose face.
Everyone else was begging him to stay, yet Jiang Chen was the only one telling him to leave.
It was a complete and utter humiliation.
He imdiately began to berate Jiang Chen without any courtesy.
After all, the Jiang Chen of before was a good-for-nothing whom he had never taken seriously.
Jiang Chen stopped in front of Ling Xuan.
His expression was utterly cold.
He stared at Ling Xuan, raised a hand, and pointed toward the entrance of the Jiang Family’s main hall.
He barked, "Now, get out imdiately."
What?
The Jiang Family mbers had thought Jiang Chen was going to apologize to Ling Xuan.
But they were wrong. Jiang Chen went right up to him and directly told him to get out.
They were completely stunned. So were even becoming furious.
"This is too much! That brat is severely lacking in discipline."
"Patriarch, your son has gone too far! He’s trying to drive Mr. Ling away!"
Jiang Han’s face was ashen.
This son of his... he had really gone and burned the bridge completely.
Ling Xuan was also in disbelief. Not only did Jiang Chen not apologize, he directly told him to leave.
Rage filled his chest. Just when everyone was treating him with the utmost reverence, Jiang Chen had thrown him to the ground.
It was a crushing blow to his pride.
He trembled with anger.
"You little good-for-nothing, you dare to tell to leave?"
"Do you have any idea how furious you’ve made ?"
He was truly enraged.
His eyes widened as he glared at Jiang Chen.
At that mont, Jiang Han stepped forward, about to speak.
He intended to reprimand his son.
But Jiang Chen cut his father off directly.
"Father, can’t you see? Ling Xuan has been planning this for a long ti. He’s wanted to leave for a while now."
"Are you pretending to be oblivious, or can you just not see the truth?"
"Begging him to stay—is it even working?"
Jiang Han froze, rendered speechless by his son’s words.
They had tried to keep him, but it was truly useless. Ling Xuan was dead set on leaving.
He looked toward Ling Xuan.
But Jiang Chen just looked at Ling Xuan with contempt.
He shouted, "So people are just dogs. They’ll follow whoever offers them shit."
Since all pretenses were dropped, Jiang Chen held back no longer.
In his eyes, Ling Xuan was nothing at all.
Ling Xuan trembled with fury.
"You... you’re calling a dog?"
Jiang Chen nodded. "That’s right. Calling you a dog is being generous."
"Our Jiang Family has never mistreated you. If you want to leave, we won’t stop you."
"And let tell you, don’t think you’re so great. The world will keep turning without you."
"Don’t think so highly of yourself. In my eyes, you’re not even worth dog shit."
"Our Jiang Family has no need for a snob like you."
The Jiang Family mbers were dumbfounded. Not only had Jiang Chen refused to apologize, but now this.
He was practically screaming insults in Ling Xuan’s face, spittle flying onto him.
He seed to be filled with righteous indignation.
The Jiang Family mbers were silent. At this point, it would be a miracle if they could keep Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan was fuming, bristling with rage.
He had been called a dog and looked down upon by Jiang Chen in every possible way.
He had been painted as completely worthless.
He looked at Jiang Han, pointed at Jiang Chen, and said, "Jiang Han, look at this fine son you’ve raised."
"Sooner or later, he’ll bring ruin upon the Jiang Family."
Seeing this, Jiang Han also realized that Ling Xuan’s sudden desire to leave must have been preditated.
Sothing must have happened.
Finally, he cald down.
He looked at Ling Xuan, his tone growing cold as well.
"Ling Xuan, you’ve wanted to leave the Jiang Family for a long ti, haven’t you?"
Ling Xuan sneered. "That’s right. I’ve wanted to leave for a long ti."
"Look at the fine son you’ve raised. If you think I’ll stay with the Jiang Family now, you’re dreaming."
Jiang Chen grew furious.
He snapped, "You pretentious bastard."
"You’re nothing but dog shit in my eyes."
"Before, I told you to leave. Now, I’m telling you to get the hell out! Roll out on all fours and don’t stop!"
"Get out of our Jiang Family."
"A person like you? Do you really think our Jiang Family wants to keep you?"
"Hurry up and get lost! What are you still standing around for?"
"Or do you want the Jiang Family to escort you out?"
He advanced on Ling Xuan step by step.
The Jiang Family mbers smiled bitterly and followed him. Although so still wanted to reason with Ling Xuan, they knew it was impossible now.
Jiang Han said no more.
He found his son’s words surprisingly satisfying.
Just monts ago, he had swallowed his pride to plead with Ling Xuan, only to be shown no respect at all.
And now, his son had launched a desperate counterattack.
Although the consequences would be severe, he felt his son had done the right thing. At the very least, he had won back so dignity for the Jiang Family.
"Good. Very good..."
Ling Xuan laughed with rage. He had planned to leave with his head held high, but now, thanks to Jiang Chen’s tirade of insults and disdain, he was in a pathetic state.
Being driven out of the Jiang Family left a bitter taste in his mouth. He had lost all his dignity.
He was being kicked out like a dog.
He scanned the mbers of the Jiang Family.
"You Jiang Family will regret this."
"Once I’m gone, without an Alchemist, it’ll be a miracle if your Jiang Family doesn’t go bankrupt and fall to ruin."
