eting Room No. 7.
This eting room was specially designed for hosting business conferences, with a large rectangular table extending nine ters in length. At the mont, over twenty people were seated inside.
At the head of the table, Duan Rui held the position without contest, while the seats on both sides were occupied by the Family heads from Huacheng.
These Sect Leaders were not only Clan Leaders but also chairn and CEOs of various companies.
"Everyone must be curious about the purpose of my visit to Huacheng, and equally why I have summoned you all."
"So of you have so acquaintance with , Duan Rui, prior to this, albeit so business dealings, and there are others with whom I am not quite familiar, though I have been heard of."
"Since you are all seated here, it is a recognition of , Duan. Thus, I'll get straight to the point."
Duan Rui's gaze swept across the many people present.
These individuals were the local power players of Huacheng, although not representing the entire city's forces, they certainly represented a large portion of Huacheng's business community, and the associated influence could lead to an earthquake in Huacheng.
"Mr. Duan, do you have a lucrative business opportunity to introduce? We've long heard that Mr. Duan has a golden touch, building your empire from scratch, which is truly enviable."
Duan Rui glanced at the boss who spoke, smiling faintly, "There is certainly money to be made, but it also depends on whether you all have the appetite."
"Haha, is Mr. Duan doubting our capabilities? You go ahead and speak, no matter how big the business, one or two companies might not handle it, but we have more than twenty companies here."
"Yes, Mr. Duan, please say it directly; we are indeed curious."
The other people present also chid in eagerly.
Seeing that the groundwork was adequately laid, Duan Rui sat up and looked at the people present: "I have heard that there are four major underground banks in Huacheng, holding a considerable cash flow. It seems that you all have so ties with these banks, so even owe them quite a lot."
As soon as Duan Rui spoke, soone imdiately turned pale.
Was Duan Rui here to do business and make a fortune, or was he here to claim lives?
The four major underground banks in Huacheng, and the owners behind these banks, were this person intending to extract teeth from the tiger's mouth here in Huacheng?
"Mr. Duan, are you not here for business?"
Duan Rui looked at the boss who asked this question, with a light smile, "I've co for business, and I've also co to kill."
"To be blunt, my visit to Huacheng is aid at a person called Li Feng."
As soon as Duan Rui finished speaking.
The entire eting hall beca silent to the point where you could hear a pin drop.
Gulp.
All you could hear was soone swallowing hard. Was Mr. Duan's head kicked by a donkey, or was it caught by a door, saying he ca to Huacheng to kill that person?
Duan Rui naturally took note of everyone's expression, though his face remained unchanged, he was sowhat surprised inside. Despite having a high regard for Li Feng, he had not imagined Li Feng's influence in Huacheng was so vast.
These figures were the prominent faces of Huacheng, with remarkable influence across various sectors, their networks and financial power pervasive throughout Huacheng, truly the local power players.
Yet, upon hearing the na Li Feng, they all fell silent as if this na was an untouchable taboo.
"What's this, judging by your expressions, it seems you're all very afraid of this Li Feng."
Duan Rui spoke seemingly casually.
"Mr. Duan, do you even know what the na Li Feng signifies in Huacheng."
"I'd love to hear more about it."
Duan Rui turned to a woman present, who was from the Wei Family in Huacheng, and she was a renowned woman leader in Huacheng, serving as the CEO of Qingcheng Group in her twenties, a true heroine among won.
Wei Lan looked at Duan Rui, "Hidden Dragon of Huacheng, he stands unchallenged, his word is law. Last year, the largest construction group in Huacheng, Sihai, collapsed overnight because of a single word from him."
"I know Mr. Duan is from Zhongtian, Heavenly Dragon Group is a large conglorate with assets in the billions, but Mr. Duan extending your hand into Huacheng and aiming against Hidden Dragon Li Feng."
"Forgive for not being optimistic about this."
Duan Rui listened with a faint smile to Wei Lan's words, smiling lightly, "It seems President Wei's words reflect what many here think."
"But surely you've all heard the phrase, 'no strong dragon crosses the river easily.'"
"I, Duan Rui, am here at this ti not because I was overeager, before today, I didn't even know who this Li Feng was."
Duan Rui was rather arrogant in his tone.
"But he has offended soone he shouldn't have offended, so he must die. This is not a discussion, but an ultimatum."
Wei Lan's expression shifted slightly.
"An ultimatum?"
"Yes, it's an ultimatum. I don't represent Heavenly Dragon Group, Heavenly Dragon Group has no conflict with Li Feng."
"I represent the Longevity Sect, understand?"
"As long as you all wish to continue thriving in Southeast Five Provinces, you must make a choice, the other party is just one person."
"While the Longevity Sect is a vast network."
"I've co with one goal, to send this Li Feng to his death. Similarly, if Li Feng does not die, I will not leave Huacheng, and if you local power players wish to stand with him, I do not mind taking you down too."
"Do not doubt whether I have this capability."
Duan Rui didn't beat around the bush at all, he was here to take down Li Feng and wanted those present to make a choice.
To choose Li Feng or to choose the Longevity Sect.
The answer was obvious.
Li Feng, no matter how arrogant or domineering he was, relied on the power of money, and Duan Rui gathered these people precisely to cut off Li Feng's arms and legs.
Wasn't he covering Huacheng with one hand? He'd just co and uproot him.
Once these local power players of Huacheng all switched sides, he'd like to see what waves Li Feng could stir.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes, and no matter how strong a person is, once they beco isolated, the outco is self-evident.
For others, achieving this might be difficult, as the people present weren't just any small fry, and you can't just say a word and expect them to listen obediently.
As a newcor, you've gone too far in your arrogance.
But Duan Rui was not representing himself, but the Longevity Sect.
And the Longevity Sect represented a massive network spanning Southeast Five Provinces and three central provinces, a formidable force to make anyone quiver in fear.
Huacheng was but a single point in this great web.
The people present were taken aback by Duan Rui's words.
The Longevity Sect.
This was a force not to be trifled with.
"Take down this Li Feng, and everything of his will be yours, and I can also promise that you all will gain a friendship with the Longevity Sect."
Duan Rui, confident and in control, looked at everyone present.
