The hall fell silent once again. Han Yi’s question hung in the air. Dozens of pairs of eyes were now fixed on Alex again.Some of the guests began nodding in agreement with Han Yi’s logic. In the business world, reputation was indeed just as important as money.However, Alex remained standing casually in his place, as if all that pressure had not touched him at all.He even gave a faint smile. Then he slowly clapped his hands once.Tok.That small sound was enough to draw the hall’s attention back to him.Alex looked at Han Yi calmly.“Reputation… influence… and business networks.”He repeated Han Yi’s earlier words in a light tone.“A rather good opinion.”Several guests were slightly surprised. They had expected Alex to feel offended.But no… Alex looked as if he were simply speaking casually.He continued.“And you’re right.”“Money alone is indeed not enough.”He glanced at the large screen displaying the Han family’s investment charts.Then he looked back at Han Yi.“But there is

The hall grew even quieter. Some guests even held their breath. The gazes of dozens of people were now fixed once again on Han Yi.The phone was still in his hand.The mocking expression on his face had not completely disappeared… but now a trace of doubt had begun to appear behind his eyes.Alex still stood casually in the same spot.As if he already knew exactly what would happen next.“Call him,” Alex repeated calmly.Han Yi clenched his teeth slightly.But in front of so many people… he could not back down now.If Alex was merely bluffing, then this call would only embarrass him in front of all the guests.With a firm movement, Han Yi opened the contacts on his phone.A few seconds later, a name appeared on the screen.Candra.Several members of the Han family immediately recognized the name.It was indeed true. He was the person who had long served as the intermediary between the Han family and the mysterious investor AX.Han Yi pressed the call button.Several guests leaned forw

Han Yi did not answer immediately. His eyes remained fixed on the screen of his phone.The message he had just read seemed to drain all the blood from his face. Someone behind him finally lost patience.“What is it, Young Master?”Han Yi swallowed. The hand holding his phone trembled slightly. He read the message again, as if hoping the contents would somehow change.But the numbers on the screen remained the same.Finally, he spoke quietly.“This… is impossible…”Several members of the Han family exchanged glances.“What happened?”Han Yi raised his phone slightly, but his voice sounded stiff.“The stock market…”Several guests immediately straightened in their seats.“Several of the Han family’s major stocks… suddenly dropped.”Whispers instantly spread throughout the hall.“Dropped? How could that happen?”An elderly man from the Han family quickly stepped forward.“How many percent?”Han Yi looked at the screen again.“Eight percent…”The words immediately shocked several people.
144.
The atmosphere in the hall completely froze. No one dared to speak.Dozens of guests could only stare at Alex in shock. The words he had just spoken were far too direct.He was no longer even trying to hide the hostility.Han Yi narrowed his eyes.But this time… Alex’s expression was no longer the same as before.The calmness was still there. Yet something had changed. An invisible aura… one that clearly carried pressure.Alex slowly stepped forward.The step itself was not loud.But the sound of his shoes touching the marble floor echoed in everyone’s ears like a thunderclap.His gaze was now fully fixed on Han Yi.“Because this game… has only just begun.”His voice was low, yet every word sounded perfectly clear.“And I want you to watch with your own eyes… how everything collapses.”Several guests felt goosebumps rise along their arms.Han Yi could only grit his teeth.“Stop pretending!”He pointed at Alex angrily.“AX? Destroy the Han family? You think I’ll believe that nonsense?!
145.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned strange.The arrival of the Head of the Acker Family made everyone hold their breath.The Han family martial artists who had been ready to attack immediately stopped where they stood. No one dared move without orders.Han Yi himself clearly did not expect this development.However, as the host, he quickly suppressed his emotions and forced a smile.“Master Acker… your arrival is truly surprising.”But in his heart he cursed, *Damn it, wasn’t this old man supposed to die from his illness?*The head of the Acker family stood with his hands behind his back. His face was calm, yet his aura made the entire room feel heavy.His gaze slowly swept across the hall. It passed the guests. Passed the martial artists. And briefly passed Alex… as if he were nothing more than an ordinary stranger.There was not the slightest sign of recognition.That made several people who had begun to suspect something fall back into doubt.Cia Ren stood slightly behind h

The voice from the phone was so loud that almost everyone in the hall could hear it. The reception hall instantly erupted into chaos.“What?!”“Pulling everything out?!”Several guests who understood the business world immediately turned pale.Han Yi himself looked as if he had been struck by lightning.“W-what did you say?!”But the panicked voice on the other end of the line continued.“That’s not all! The moment AX funds were withdrawn… several major investors pulled out as well!”“We can’t hold the market!”“The Han family’s main stock has already dropped twenty percent—no, wait, twenty-five percent!”Han Yi could barely breathe.“Impossible…”One of the Han family members standing behind him quickly took out his phone.A few seconds later, his face turned deathly pale.“Young master… th-this is insane… w-we’re bankrupt…”He showed the screen. The Han family’s stock chart, which had been stable before, was now plunging like a collapsing cliff.Several nearby guests leaned in to lo

Alex’s words were like a knife slowly twisting in an already open wound.Then Alex smiled faintly again.“Even though the Han family’s shares have dropped to zero… your family’s reputation still remains.”His gaze slowly shifted.“It just so happens that there are two very influential people here.”He tilted his head slightly toward the two figures sitting calmly.“The head of the Acker family… and Young Master Cia Ren.”Some of the guests immediately understood his meaning. If those two powerful forces were willing to help… the Han family might still have a chance to survive.Yet Alex looked as if he were watching a show.“Go ahead. The so-called most influential young master…”he said casually.“Perhaps they will help you.”The hall instantly fell silent. All eyes slowly turned toward Han Yi.The man’s face was completely pale now. But a few seconds later…he actually moved. His steps were quick.Almost like a drowning man searching for air.He stopped directly in front of the head
148.
Han Yi did not answer. He could not even move.His body stood in the middle of the hall like a lifeless statue. His gaze was empty… completely empty. His lips parted slightly, yet not a single word came out. It was as if his entire world had collapsed in a single second.Just moments ago, he was still the arrogant young master of the Han family—the heir to a giant corporation in Phoenix Sky Province. A man who made others bow their heads.But now… he no longer even had a place to stand.The entire hall remained silent.Many guests looked at Han Yi with complicated expressions. Some pitied him… some felt satisfied… others were simply horrified. Because now they truly understood one thing.To oppose Alex was to destroy oneself.On the other side of the hall, Alex still stood casually. One hand remained in his pocket, while the other gently held Clara’s hand. He looked at Han Yi as if he were a stranger.There was no anger. No satisfaction. Only calmness. Yet that very calmness made the

The hall fell silent again after that oath was spoken. No one moved. No one spoke.Everyone simply stared at Han Yi with different expressions. Some frowned, some sneered, while others merely shook their heads slowly.An oath of revenge like that did sound dramatic. But in this room… almost no one considered it a real threat.Candra looked at Han Yi with a cold gaze.“Get out…” Lori said for the last time.Cia Ren even let out a lazy sigh.“Ah… another oath.”He leaned back in his chair.“Everyone who falls always says the same thing.”But the very person who was the target of that oath—Alex showed no reaction at all. He simply looked at Han Yi for a few seconds.His gaze was calm. Without emotion. Without anger.As if Han Yi’s words were nothing more than passing wind.A few seconds later, Alex spoke casually.“Finished?”That question made several people in the hall blink in surprise.Even Han Yi froze for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected such a… relaxed response.“Just you wait

The head of the Wang family fell silent for a few seconds. He knew… those words were not a threat. They were a warning.A man who had led a great family for decades could immediately grasp the meaning. The Wang family’s problems were not truly over. The betrayal that had happened before was only the surface of something much deeper.Wang Tuenyin took a deep breath, then nodded slowly.“I will remember it.”He cupped his hands respectfully.“Your advice… is very valuable.”Alex merely nodded lightly, as if it were nothing important.After a few more polite exchanges, the head of the Wang family finally took his leave.“Then I won’t disturb you any longer.”He bowed once more.“I hope that one day, the Wang family can repay this kindness.”Alex did not respond. He simply stood calmly in the courtyard.A few seconds later, the Wang family entourage got into their cars and slowly left the residence.Their headlights disappeared beyond the iron gate.The night returned to silence.*A mome
