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?!

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.

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

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

Several Han family technicians immediately turned on the large screen behind the podium.The lights in the hall were slightly dimmed. The atmosphere grew even quieter. Now everyone was waiting for Alex’s reaction.The gazes of dozens of influential figures in the province were fixed on the table where the young man sat.But what was surprising…Alex did not look pressured at all. He was still sitting casually in his chair. His hand reached for the glass of water on the table.He took a small sip. Then he placed the glass back down.His movements were calm. Unhurried. As if he were enjoying an ordinary dinner, not being the center of an interrogation in front of the province’s elites.Clara glanced at him briefly. The corner of her lips lifted slightly.Yet strangely, the three great family heads beside him also remained calm. They even gave Alex respectful looks.Finally, Alex stood up. His chair slid softly across the marble floor.Everyone immediately fell silent.Alex did not walk

The roar from the head of the Saw family instantly made the atmosphere at the entrance tense.The guests who were lining up immediately turned their heads. Some even began whispering among themselves.After all, it wasn’t every day they saw the head of a major family getting angry in public.However, the security staff remained where they were standing. Their faces were slightly pale, but they didn’t dare step back.“Sir… we are only following orders.”The atmosphere grew even hotter.At that moment, a calm voice was heard from inside the building.“There’s no need to make a scene.”Everyone immediately turned around. The sound of leather shoes echoed clearly across the marble floor.Han Yi walked out from the main entrance with a composed demeanor. His black suit looked perfectly neat, and several personal bodyguards followed behind him.His gaze swept across the crowd briefly, then stopped on Alex. Yet his expression remained indifferent.“Head of the Saw family,” he said lightly.“
