Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"However, it doesn't really matter."

Ye Ge smiled kindly: "It's just a simple meeting anyway, it doesn't matter who comes, right?"

Several bigwigs in the conference room visibly relaxed slightly after seeing Ye Ge.

After all, they all knew that Night Owl was not someone to mess with.

As the head of the Night Clan and the current patriarch of the demonized mutant family, Night Owl is unpredictable, difficult to understand, and elusive. He is ruthless, vicious, and unscrupulous, and no powerful figure is not afraid of him.

And this Ye Ge is just a ten-year-old child.

Even if he is rumored to be a genius, his age and experience are still factors.

Clearly, they preferred to confront Nightsong rather than Night Owl.

Moreover, even if they are no match for the Ye family in terms of combat strength, wouldn't it be easy for them to fool or deceive an inexperienced kid?

Nangong Ru also gave Ye Ge a deep look.

She wasn't originally supposed to come; she wasn't on the Ye family's "invitation" list.

However, she still took the initiative to come here for the meeting with the chief of the Southern Watch.

She was eager to know what the Ye family wanted to do by suddenly gathering all the powerful figures in the Southern Territory together.

"Hehe, what Young Master Ye Ge said is not wrong." The Qi family patriarch chuckled twice like an old hand, and then flattered, "In this war in the Southern Territory, it was thanks to the Ye family's efforts that we were able to wipe out the rebel alliance, eliminate Wang En, and drive away the vampire invaders... I just wonder what important matter has brought so many of us here today?"

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes slightly: "Before we get down to business, I think we should take attendance first."

"Roll call?" The head of the Qi family was completely bewildered, having no idea what this was all about.

"Yes, because we need to make sure everyone is here."

Then, Ye Ge picked up a list and slowly turned to the first page: "Zhou Ji".

"..."

Silence fell over the conference room.

No one knew what the young master of the Ye family wanted to do.

Zhou Ji, the head of the Zhou family, who was sitting on one side, frowned slightly when he heard Ye Ge call him by his name.

He was, after all, a viscount, a lord whose status was equal to that of Night Song's father. Even if Night Owl came, he would not call him by his first name like that, would he?

That Ye Ge actually called him by his name; that's incredibly rude...

Ye Ge didn't continue reading, but smiled faintly: "When your name is called during roll call, you should say 'Here!' Your elementary school teacher should have taught you that, right?"

He glanced at Shen Tu beside him out of the corner of his eye and gave him a meaningful look.

Shen Tu immediately understood his meaning and instantly appeared behind Viscount Zhou Ji.

She grabbed him by the neck from behind.

Then he slammed his head heavily onto the conference table!

"boom!"

With a heavy thud, Zhou Ji's face smashed into the teacup in front of him, shattering tea and glass shards everywhere! Zhou Ji screamed and instinctively tried to struggle.

However, Shentu's hand was like an iron clamp, holding him down firmly.

As the top henchman by Night Owl's side, Zhou Ji was naturally no match for him; the terrifying power directly suppressed him, rendering him unable to move.

"Uh...no...uh..."

Zhou Ji's eyes widened in horror. He felt it becoming increasingly difficult to breathe, and Shen Tu's fingers tightened their grip, as if he really wanted to rip his head off...

The other bigwigs present were all astonished.

Even Nangong Ru frowned slightly.

Is this night song for real?

"Alright, let go, Shentu," Yege said at the opportune moment.

Shen Tu immediately released Zhou Ji's neck, and stepped aside expressionlessly with his hands behind his back, like a cold and ruthless stone statue.

"Cough cough cough cough..." Zhou Ji coughed incessantly.

"Hey, why are you using so much force?" Ye Ge complained. "They just didn't hear you the first time. A simple reminder would have been enough. Why did you have to use your soul power and almost crush their soul power node?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Shen Tu offered a completely insincere apology.

"..."

The bigwigs exchanged glances and remained silent.

That was quite a show of force...

"Alright, let's continue with the roll call." Ye Ge picked up the roll call book again: "Zhao Kuang."

"Here...here."

"Qian Tuo".

"arrive."

"White Elephant".

Marquis White Elephant raised his eyebrows and glanced at Night Song, then clenched his fist slightly.

"arrive......"

He finally answered.

"Nangong Ru." Ye Ge glanced at Nangong Ru in the corner.

In fact, the name of the Director General of the Night's Watch was not on the list.

However, since she's here, Ye Ge will still read it aloud.

Also, let's find out what this woman's purpose is in coming here, and whether she intends to continue being enemies with the Ye family in the future.

"Here," Nangong Ru replied calmly, arms crossed.

......

After calling out all the names, Ye Ge closed the attendance book.

The bigwigs then realized that four people still hadn't answered.

It's not that they didn't call out, it's that they didn't come at all.

Their seats were all empty.

These individuals are: Earl Yan Jian, Viscount Yu Lun, Zhang Jida, President of the Southern Border Mechanics Guild, and Wuji Kun, the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect, a cultivation sect.

The head of the Qi family, ever the smooth operator, chuckled and tried to smooth things over: "Um... Young Master Ye Ge, don't be too angry. Earl Yan Jian and the others didn't come, probably because the war just ended and something came up. It certainly wasn't because they weren't giving face to your Ye family..."

“Oh, you don’t need to explain for them, and I won’t be angry,” Night Song said. “Because I know why they didn’t come.”

The head of the Qi family was taken aback: "Huh?"

Ye Ge smiled faintly: "Because they are all dead."

"!?!" The bigwigs were astonished.

Ye Ge continued calmly, "And I sent people to kill them."

"???" Everyone gasped, even more shocked.

"Of course I wouldn't kill them without a reason," Ye Ge said slowly. "These four people, like Marquis Sun Ke who previously sided with Wang En, are also traitors with close ties to the dark races. Nicholas's vampire army was able to advance into the interior so smoothly thanks to their support, so our Ye family must naturally eliminate this scourge for humanity."

"..." Upon hearing this, Marquis White Elephant revealed a bitter expression, secretly thinking: to rid the human race of this scourge.

These four big shots were the ones who suppressed and punished the Ye family the most severely when the righteous factions in the Southern Territory jointly suppressed and sanctioned the Ye family. They also took the opportunity to extort money from the Ye family several times!

He didn't believe in such a coincidence...

Without a doubt, the Ye family is using this vampire invasion as a pretext for revenge! To settle old scores!

Anyway, the people are all dead now, and the vampires have retreated. There's no way to verify anything. Whatever you say, it's all up to you Ye family members.

The other nobles, sect leaders, and guild presidents also lowered their heads, their faces showing a complex and tense expression.

Clearly, that's what they all thought too.
