Tianyuan Building was located in the most central area of the city center. As the most famous building in Guanglin, being able to work there was the best way to show one's strength.
Just a week ago, on the second day after the end of the Throne Challenge, the Yun Clan rented an entire floor of the Tianyuan Building as the office of the Yunlai Company.
This was the first time the Yunlai family had truly stepped out of Jiangcheng to develop in another base city.
The annual rent of 500 million was enough to prove the determination of the Yunlai family.
In the 300-square-meter luxurious reception room, Yun Yong and the others were accompanying the executives of the Zhong Sheng Financial Group.
The Zhong Sheng Financial Group was one of the top ten financial groups in Guanglin. Its capital was strong and its overall strength could be ranked in the top three.
Long before Yunkai came to Hongyun University, Yun Yong and the others had arrived in Guanglin a month earlier.
Yunkai was studying at Hongyun University and would be in Guanglin for the next four years. The Yunlai family had sent them to protect Yunkai and also hoped to use Yunkai to develop the Yunlai Corporation in Guanglin.
Because they had no foundation and were not strong enough, the Yunlai Corporation mainly used this month to get familiar with the major companies and forces in Guanglin.
But even if they were familiar with each other, they were often given the cold shoulder.
In the base camp of Jiangcheng, when the Yunlai Corporation was mentioned, everyone had to give them face.
But in Guanglin, the Yunlai Corporation was nothing.
No one knew them and no one cared.
Even if there were people who were interested in the Yunlai Corporation, it was all because of Yunkai's fame and reputation.
In Guanglin, the former name of the Glory of Glory family was not as effective as Yunkai's fame.
However, since Yunkai had shown the talent of Atavism during the Throne Challenge and won the third Throne, the Yunlai Corporation, which had been hit by many obstacles, had become famous.
Some companies that had been indifferent had now become enthusiastic.
These days, the Yunlai Corporation had started to cooperate with other companies.
Although they were all small collaborations, it was a good start and enough to make the Yunlai family very excited.
"Yunkai hasn't arrived yet?
Tell him to hurry up and say that there are distinguished guests waiting for us! "
Yun Yong glanced at his watch and furrowed his brows. His tone was somewhat displeased.
"Director Yun, I've already informed Yunkai. He should be here in five minutes," the secretary in professional attire said respectfully.
Yun Yong nodded slightly, then said to a middle-aged man apologetically, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
With the strength of the Yunlai Group, they were not qualified to contact the Zhongsheng Financial Group.
But this time, it was the Zhongsheng Financial Group that came to seek cooperation, and its chairman, Tang Cheng, personally visited with his daughter. Yun Yongyong couldn't help but feel nervous.
If this cooperation was successful, the profit would be at least one billion. Moreover, this was only the first phase of the plan. There were still three more phases to follow.
"It's fine. There's no rush."
Tang Cheng said indifferently. He didn't care about this.
While they were chatting, Yun Kai and the other two appeared in the parlor not long after.
Seeing some unfamiliar figures, Yunkai frowned slightly.
In the past few days, Yun Yong had tried to probe him many times but was rejected every time. What was he up to this time?
Seeing Yunkai appear, the eyes of the girl behind Tang Cheng lit up slightly.
"Yunkai, what took you so long? Sorry to keep the guests waiting."
Yun Yong stood up and waved at Yunkai. "This is the chairman of the Zhongsheng Financial Group, Chairman Tang."
Yunkai had never heard of the Zhongsheng Financial Group, but if Yun Yong was fawning over it, it must be a very powerful financial group.
"Chairman Tang."
Although Yunkai wasn't used to this kind of social interaction, he still greeted Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng nodded. Facing the proud son of heaven in front of him, the future Son of Glory, he smiled and said, "Yunkai, the Throne Challenge was very exciting. My daughter is a fan of yours."
Seeing the smile on Tang Cheng's face, Yun Yong cursed in his heart, "Motherf * cker, I've been talking to you for a long time, but you've only said a few perfunctory words, acting all high and mighty. Now that Yun Kai is here, you're smiling.
The contrast is too big!
"Yunkai, hello, I'm your fan!"
Behind Tang Cheng, the energetic girl in sportswear wasn't shy at all. She greeted him generously.
"Hello."
Yunkai greeted her and then fell silent. He seemed a bit stiff.
The enthusiastic girl was obviously a bit embarrassed. Yunkai's attitude was a bit cold. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yun Yong hurriedly said, "Yunkai, Tang Xin is also a freshman at Hongyun University. She's your classmate. You have to take good care of her in the future."
"Okay."
Yunkai nodded, but he still remained silent.
Yun Yong clearly understood Yunkai's personality. In order to not make the atmosphere even more awkward, he directly said, "Don't you have two spots in your team? Leave one for Tang Xin and the other for Haoran."
"I can't decide that."
Yunkai shook his head and refused without hesitation. "There's only one spot in the team right now. I'm not the captain, so I can't decide."
Hearing this, Tang Cheng looked at Yun Yong. This was different from what Yun Yong had said. Tang Cheng's originally indifferent gaze became a bit sharp, but he didn't say anything.
Yun Yong clearly felt Tang Cheng's gaze and didn't dare to look straight at him. He could only look at Yunkai and speak with a stern tone.
"I've talked to you for so long. Why are you still so stubborn?"
Yunkai slightly knitted his brows. Yun Yong's attitude made him want to turn hostile. However, he endured it in the end. After all, there were outsiders present.
"I've already told you before that I wanted you to be the captain. If you didn't agree, then forget it. But now, he refined a trash demon spirit and became a national joke. How can he be qualified to be the captain?"
"You're meddling too much!"
Yunkai's expression was cold. "Linfeng is very strong. He's qualified to be the captain."
Yun Yong's face turned ugly.
He never thought that Yunkai would still be so stubborn.
"He refined a trash demon spirit. What's there to be strong about?
Even if he's invincible in the same realm now, what about the future? Will he be able to catch up to your footsteps in the future?
“
You'll know in the future that there's no way to make up for the gap between you and him. "
Seeing that Yunkai didn't have any reaction and was still indifferent, Yun Yong felt resentful and said, "I'll give you two choices. First, you'll be the captain and Linfeng will stay in the team. Second, Linfeng will be the captain and Tang Xin and Haoran will join the team."
Yunkai shook his head. Although he remained silent, his attitude was firm.
Yunkai's unwillingness to cooperate and Tang Cheng's unkind gaze caused Yun Yong's face to turn gloomy. "Yunkai, you should know that everything you have was given to you by your family. Now that I'm asking you to do something, you won't even cooperate!"
Sensing the oppressive atmosphere, the living room was very quiet. Even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
"Haha, given to me by my family?"
At this moment, Yunkai's patience had reached its limit. He laughed loudly and appeared somewhat insolent. His face was like a lion's, filled with arrogance and wildness. "Nine months ago, I was a half beast man that everyone hated in the family. I was the greatest disgrace to the family. I can return the resources that the family has given me in the past nine months!"
Yun Yong clearly didn't expect Yunkai to be so arrogant. He didn't have the slightest respect or fear for him.
He also didn't have a sense of belonging or honor to the family. He even had thoughts of leaving the family.
This was a very bad sign!
At this moment, Yunkai was only a Rank 9 Physique Cultivator. He hadn't even matured, yet he was already so arrogant. If he didn't change his attitude and temper, and if he didn't suppress his arrogance, who in the family would be able to control him when he broke through to Martial King?
"What big words. Do you know what resources the family gave you?
Are you not going to pay them back? "Yun Yong sneered.
"I know, you're talking about the Golden Lion King!
Do you need me to expel it from your soul sea? "Yunkai said coldly.
Expel it from your soul sea!
The faces of the Yun Clan members changed. They were all frightened by Yunkai.
Yun Yong's face also changed. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Each demon spirit on the Earth Ranking was worth tens of billions. Furthermore, the Golden Lion King wasn't just an Earth Ranking demon spirit.
It was a demon spirit refined by a Transcendent ancestor of the Yun Clan. It complemented the Atavistic Demon Transformation. It was the most suitable demon spirit for Yunkai.
At this moment, Tang Cheng looked at the young man who was a little dazed at the beginning, but was now acting recklessly.
As the chairman of a large conglomerate, with his experience in judging people, he didn't think that Yunkai was joking.
This young man was very serious.
Very serious!
He was even eager to give it a try.
"Yunkai, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by not paying it back? You're a member of the family. This is the family's expectation of you!"
A woman hurriedly tried to persuade him.
She was the same as Tang Cheng. She also noticed that Yunkai's state wasn't right. He seemed to have the impulse to do so.
However, at this moment, Yun Yong obviously didn't notice this. Although he was frightened at the beginning, he quickly reacted to Yunkai's bluff. Who would have the courage to give up an Earth Ranking demon spirit?
Furthermore, it was the most suitable demon spirit for himself.
It can be said that if Yunkai didn't refine the Golden Lion King, although he's still a super genius, he wouldn't be able to become the most anticipated star of the Glory League.
His potential and fighting strength would be greatly reduced.
Even a fool wouldn't do something so self-destructive.
"Hehe."
Yun Yong sneered. However, he didn't reply to Yunkai's words.
After all, Yunkai is the most important figure in the family. He's the key to the rise of the family. There's no need to embarrass him.
Yun Yong didn't reply. The woman sighed in relief. However, in the next moment, when her gaze swept across Yunkai, her body instantly stiffened and her heart seemed to have stopped beating.
"Don't!"
A frightened scream rang out. Everyone was startled. However, they quickly reacted and looked at Yunkai.
At this moment, Yunkai's body was trembling. His expression seemed to be in pain. A faint golden light was emitted from his navel. A portion of the golden light seemed to be about to leave his body.
Dumbfounded!
Everyone was scared out of their wits.
"Yunkai, don't!"
"Don't be rash, don't be rash!"
Horrified screams rang out. Yun Yong was already rooted to the ground, dumbfounded.
"Don't, I beg you!"
The woman was already kneeling on the ground, crying from fear.
Yunkai is crazy!
He's really going to expel the demon spirit from his body!
If Yunkai really did that, regardless of whether he was forced by them or not, the furious patriarch and elders would definitely kill them!
Kill them all!
There won't be any mercy or hesitation!
As the key to the return of the clan to Glory, Yunkai was even more important than the patriarch.
Although they wanted to stop Yunkai, no one dared to move. The process of expelling the demon spirit was extremely dangerous. If they weren't careful, they could even destroy their Soul Sea.
At this moment, they could only cry and beg Yunkai to give up. However, Yunkai didn't seem to hear them and didn't respond. The golden light grew brighter and brighter. Upon closer inspection, it was an illusory lion. Following the lion's body, a lion's tail appeared. In the next moment, it was about to leave the body completely.
Buzz!
With a buzz, Yunkai suddenly stopped trembling. The golden lion also stopped. At this moment, Yunkai seemed to be imprisoned and didn't move an inch.
An old man appeared in front of Yunkai out of thin air. He stretched out his wrinkled, weather-beaten hand. Light surrounded his palm as he gently pushed the golden lion back into Yunkai's body.
When the golden lion returned to Yunkai's body, the people of the Yun Clan heaved a sigh of relief. Many of them collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
"Child, why did you have to do this?"
The white-haired old man said.
With the imprisonment removed, Yunkai regained his freedom. Looking at the old man in front of him, who was extremely old but ordinary, Yunkai's eyes flashed with doubt and shock.
He recognized the old man in front of him. He originally thought that he was just an ordinary member sent by the clan. He didn't expect him to be so strong.
The power of imprisonment, was it a soul skill?
If it wasn't, then was he a Martial King expert?
Bu Zheng had used this power during the Throne Challenge. Only a Martial King expert could imprison him so easily.
Yunkai's face was extremely pale. Although the demon spirit had returned to his Soul Sea, his spiritual power was severely damaged. He wouldn't be able to recover without ten days or half a month.
Facing the old man's question, Yunkai said, "I can contribute to the clan, but only if I'm willing!
If I'm not willing, no one can force me. My parents can't, the clan leader can't, no one can. If the clan doesn't think it's worth it, then I can return it all. I don't care. "
"I understand. I'll tell the clan."
The old man nodded. At this moment, he deeply felt that the young man in front of him was different.
Because of his special appearance, Yunkai was discriminated and hated by the clan since he was young. Even his parents didn't like him. He moved out of the house early and lived alone. This also led to the young man's unique character.
He was unruly and unscrupulous. He would rather die than live in dishonor.
It was ridiculous to try to use a sense of belonging or family to make Yunkai compromise.
If they didn't want to lose this genius, the clan had to change the way they treated him.
"I'm leaving."
Yunkai said and quickly left the living room.
Tang Cheng also got up and left. After watching a good show, he admired Yunkai even more.
This young man not only had a rare talent, but also a strong character. He would rather break than bend.
It was a pity that they couldn't recruit him.
"So handsome!"
Tang Xin said with admiration. As the father, Tang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head.
After Yunkai and Tang Cheng left, under everyone's gaze, the old man went to Yun Yong and kicked him more than ten meters away. Then, he stepped on his face and looked down at him. "I'll report what happened today to the clan."
"What did I do wrong?"
Yun Yong felt that his stomach was about to split open. He cried out in pain on the ground, but he couldn't help but ask.
He didn't do anything wrong!
Linfeng was no longer fit to be the team leader. For the sake of the clan's development and for Yunkai's future, abandoning him was the right choice.
"You didn't do anything wrong?" The old man smiled and gently lifted his foot.
"Ah!" With a shrill cry, Yun Yong's arm was forcefully broken.
At this moment, everyone was silent. Although they didn't know the old man's identity, he was obviously very strong. It was very likely that he was a Martial King expert sent by the clan to protect Yunkai.
"Your mistake isn't because of Linfeng. It's because you didn't know your place. Yunkai is a peerless genius who can turn into a monster. He's the future Son of the Glory of Glory. He's the idol of the whole country, but you still treated him as a half-beast man.
