"Mr. Qiu, please talk about what happened initially. Why did this Mr. Jiang Chen cripple Chairman Li!"
Xiao Chang’an, befitting his status as the Martial Alliance Leader, quickly regained his composure, warily glanced at Yan Hu, turned his head to Qiu Boyuan, and politely spoke.
"The initial incident went like this: Chairman Li’s son, Li Lei..." Qiu Boyuan briefly recounted the incident of Li Lei’s kidnapping of Ye Yuwan.
"Kidnapping?!"
"Isn’t Ye Yuwan that pure and innocent female superstar? Li Lei actually kidnapped her?"
"Ye Yuwan belongs to this Jiang Chen?"
"That’s right, I rember now! Jiang Chen is Ye Yuwan’s manager, and also her exclusive lyricist and composer!"
"So, it was him! A man’s rage for his beloved lady! Such a man!"
"What sort of man? Because of this affair, he has offended our Martial Alliance. He’s just an artist’s manager; he’s as good as dead!"
The surrounding people of the Martial Alliance exclaid in shock, a small portion of them looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of admiration, while the majority gazed at Jiang Chen as if he were a dead man!
"Nonsense! Absolute rubbish!" Li Yunfeng’s face drastically changed as he shouted loudly.
As a martial arts organization most closely interacting with the secular world, the Martial Alliance had extrely strict demands on such matters, absolutely not allowing mbers to leverage their status as martial artists to bully people of the secular world.
Of course, there were many like Li Lei within the Martial Alliance, but such matters could not be discussed openly. If Li Yunfeng admitted to this incident in such a setting, he and his son could forget about the Martial Alliance defending them and seeking revenge on their behalf. Moreover, they would also face punishnt from the Martial Alliance!
Hearing Qiu Boyuan’s words, Xiao Chang’an’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Turning his head, Xiao Chang’an glared fiercely at Li Yunfeng.
He was very clear about the behavior of these senior ranks within the Martial Alliance and knew that Li Yunfeng and his son were definitely capable of such deeds. However, admitting the wrongdoings of Li Yunfeng and his son would lead to a complete loss of face for the Martial Alliance.
And this wasn’t just any loss of face.
This was a loss of face directly in front of all the chairn and elite mbers of the various Fla Dragon branches!
However, if he sided with Li Yunfeng and targeted Jiang Chen...
Xiao Chang’an glanced at Yan Hu and inwardly sighed. If he targeted Jiang Chen, the Martial Alliance would be even less able to save face today.
With such a powerful friend by Jiang Chen’s side, who was Jiang Chen really!
Thinking quickly, Xiao Chang’an attempted to maintain a neutral tone, "Is that so? Since there are objections to this matter, let’s discuss it and make a decision after the conference, so as not to delay everyone’s ti."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunfeng’s expression slightly changed, he glanced at Xiao Chang’an, then turned his head to look toward the central figure, Li Qiuyue.
Li Qiuyue was Li Yunfeng’s cousin and also a veteran director of the Martial Alliance, her strength having reached the later stages of an Innate Grandmaster.
Sensing Li Yunfeng’s gaze, Li Qiuyue waved at him, signaling him to stay calm. Qiu Boyuan’s account was very unfavorable to Li Yunfeng, and Li Qiuyue also understood that pursuing this matter now would surely provoke Xiao Chang’an’s dissatisfaction, so she advised Li Yunfeng not to rush.
Qiu Boyuan was slightly stunned, not expecting Xiao Chang’an to set aside the matter so easily. After a mont’s hesitation, he turned and looked at Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, would you mind waiting a bit?"
"It doesn’t matter."
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and sat down on a chair to the side, with Yan Hu following suit beside him.
Their sitting down imdiately caused surprise among the rest.
Because, for the Dingjing branch of the Martial Alliance, only three chairs had been prepared. Jiang Chen and Yan Hu simply sat down without regard for the others, and as the branch president, Qiu Boyuan, of course, had to sit as well.
Thus, on the side of Dingjing’s branch, others like Liu Jiangbo, Liu Sanbian, Qiu Liang, Li Fenglin, and so on, all stood, effectively becoming guards for Jiang Chen and the others.
Liu Jiangbo and the others didn’t feel anything amiss, but it caused quite a stir among the onlookers.
Liu Jiangbo and his associates were important figures like vice chairn and elders of the Dingjing Branch, all standing, while Jiang Chen and his guards sat calmly and assuredly in their seats.
This was truly strange!
"Hey! Those two guys took the seats of Vice Chairman Liu and Elder Liu!"
"It seems like Vice Chairman Liu and the others don’t show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Why is that?"
"Could it be that Jiang Chen has so other identity besides being Yè Yùwǎn’s agent?"
"It must be the case, otherwise an agent of a pop star wouldn’t have such clout to make Vice Chairman Liu and the others willingly give up their seats!"
Everyone couldn’t help but be inwardly shocked, murmuring amongst themselves.
Xiao Chang’an’s eyes twitched for a mont as he glanced at Liu Jiangbo and another, noticing their calm deanor devoid of any dissatisfaction, his doubts intensified!
However, Xiao Chang’an was well aware that this was not the ti to inquire about Jiang Chen’s identity; even if he wanted to investigate, he couldn’t do it in full view of everyone.
If Jiang Chen’s identity was truly beyond the reach of his Martial Alliance, showing weakness in the face of so many would be too embarrassing!
"Alright! Now, we shall begin our eting. The first matter at hand is to select a chairman from among you to take over the positions of director and Jincheng Branch chairman. Those interested, co up to the stage!"
Xiao Chang’an composed himself and spoke out loud.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As soon as Xiao Chang’an’s voice fell, three figures leapt onto the stage, including the chairman of the Dingjing Branch, Qiu Boyuan.
Xiao Chang’an glanced at the three, already having made his decision.
He hadn’t paid attention when he first arrived, but he had noticed Qiu Boyuan’s strength when asking him questions; the position of director was no longer up for grabs.
"Alright, then let Chairman Qiu Boyuan assu the director’s position and also take on the role of Jincheng Branch chairman!" Xiao Chang’an announced loudly.
"Why is that?"
"Yes, why? Alliance Hierarch, our chairman also possesses Semi Innate Peak strength. Why not let them fight it out?"
"Isn’t it true that we always resolve similar matters through combat?"
Xiao Chang’an’s statent caused a stir among the crowd.
The complexions of the two chairn who jumped onto the stage with Qiu Boyuan changed as they both turned their heads to look at him. But when they realized they couldn’t probe Qiu Boyuan’s strength, both were shocked.
"You’ve broken through?!"
"Chairman Qiu reached the Innate Realm?!"
The two chairn exclaid in unison.
Qiu Boyuan simply smiled without speaking and suddenly exploded with his own aura.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
An Innate Great Grandmaster’s aura spread throughout the entire beach, causing a change in the Martial Alliance mbers’ expressions.
"What? Chairman Qiu has already reached the level of an Innate Great Grandmaster?"
"He’s so strong! No wonder Alliance Hierarch Xiao directly ruled out their competition!"
"Yes, not to ntion one-on-one, even if those two branch chairn tead up they wouldn’t be a match for Chairman Qiu!"
The beach erupted once again with exclamations of surprise from the crowd.
