After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

The dignified president of the Evil Dragon Society, the king of the underworld of Yunhang City.

Now, it is being held up in mid-air like a dead dog.

Looking at Chen Yun again, his gaze was calm and composed, and he carried the Xiao Hai snake, which weighed over 100 pounds, with one hand as if it were nothing at all.

However, his martial arts skills are by no means those of an ordinary person!

The expressions of everyone present grew increasingly terrified.

Chen Yun's fingers were increasing the pressure, and his eyes were growing colder.

Looking at Xiao Hai, his cheeks had turned bluish-purple, and his eyes were bulging and bloodshot... If this continued, he would probably die soon!

Chen Yun really wanted to kill Xiao Hai!

"Mr. Chen, please spare his life!"

Just then, Nangong Qing spoke up and made a request.

"Oh? You're going to plead for him?"

Chen Yun turned his gaze to Nangong Qing.

With just one glance, Nangong Qing felt an overwhelming killing intent rushing towards him.

Under such overwhelming force, even breathing became difficult for him.

Such a terrifying gaze is like that of an ancient, ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

"Mr. Chen, please calm down."

"Xiao Hai Snake is, after all, the venue of the Evil Dragon Society. If someone dies here, it will probably cause a shock in the underworld of Yunhang."

"In that case, Young Master Nangong will inevitably be implicated as well."

Wang Lei stood up with a smile and began to plead for leniency.

“Mr. Chen, this person can be helpful to our future plans, so it’s best to keep him around for now.”

Nangong Qing spoke with difficulty.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

Chen Yun tossed the Xiao Hai snake aside like a dead dog.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xiao Hai Snake coughed desperately, gasping for air like a drowning person.

This was the first time in his life that he had been so close to death.

After he regained his breathing, he looked at Chen Yun with apprehension. This guy killed people without warning; his ferocity was far too great.

Especially when his neck was being choked just now, the guy's extremely indifferent expression towards life made him feel that this guy was simply a death god!

The feeling of having his fate controlled by others made him feel extremely helpless!

"Now, do you think I'm capable of taking this position?"

Chen Yun pointed to the main seat.

Xiao Hai didn't dare to speak again, but returned to his seat dejectedly, rubbing his neck repeatedly to relieve the pain from being pinched.

"what about you?"

Chen Yun then looked at the others.

"Of course, Mr. Chen, this seat should rightfully be yours."

Wang Lei quickly spoke up.

"Indeed, Mr. Chen deserves the honor."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen is the only candidate for this position."

"..."

Others chimed in.

Just kidding, who would dare to refuse?

If you dare utter another word of dissent, it's questionable whether you'll even walk out of here alive!

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll accept their invitation."

Chen Yun scratched his head, revealing an embarrassed expression.

You big Y!

Everyone cursed inwardly, but their faces remained respectful, like attentive elementary school students.

Hmph, a bunch of worthless bastards!

Chen Yun sneered inwardly.

They won't know the pain until the big stick falls on their bodies; you have to give them a hard time before they'll act like human beings.

Next came the serving of dishes, and all of Yunxiang Pavilion's signature dishes were served.

Looking at the table full of exquisite dishes, Chen Yun had no appetite at all.

"Alright, I know you guys don't have an appetite if you're with me."

"Sorry, me too."

Chen Yun spoke up.

Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat confused and turned their gazes to Chen Yun.

"I'll get straight to the point. The reason Nangong Qing has gathered you all here today is very simple: it's for tomorrow night's auction."

"There is something I desperately need at the auction tomorrow night, and I must get my hands on it."

"If possible, I hope you can help me out. After it's done, I will definitely give you unimaginable rewards."

"Of course, if anyone insists on going against me... then the consequences will be unbearable pain for you."

"Having said that, whether you believe it or not, there's no point in saying anything more."

Chen Yun spoke calmly, but exuded a violent aura.

Everyone in the room felt suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, you are Mr. Nangong's friend, so naturally you are our friend as well."

"Yunhang is our territory. All visitors are guests, and we should treat them with sincerity."

"We will definitely help in any way we can."

Wang Lei was the first to stand up and express his opinion to Chen Yun.

The others present also expressed their opinions.

Xiao Hai, the snake, who was huddled in the corner, did not utter a sound, nor did he dare to refute it.

"Alright, in that case, you can leave now."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Chen Yun was too lazy to continue arguing with them.

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and they all stood up to take their leave.

Chen Yun was right about something.

In this atmosphere, no one has any appetite to eat.

Everyone was terrified of becoming the next Xiao Hai Snake. Who knew if they would end up as the "dead dog" in Chen Yun's hands because of whether they drank water or ate vegetables first!

If everyone speaks their mind and then goes home, things are actually more relaxed.

After everyone had left, Chen Yun began to eat his food at a leisurely pace.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry!"

Nangong Qing gave a bitter smile.

"Alright. I know what you mean, but you couldn't control how things turned out tonight."

Chen Yun didn't even lift his eyelids, and casually said, "However, this matter has also taught you a lesson. This Xiao Haishe is from the underworld. People like him are too wild and easily want to break free of their restraints, unlike those who put on a good show."

Furthermore, Yunhang is not Jinghai after all. Although your Nangong family makes them fearful, it does not equate to respect—this superficial fear can actually easily breed rebellious thoughts.

Therefore, managing people is an art. If you want to rise higher in the Nangong family in the future, you'll have to learn it well.

"Yes, sir! I will reflect on this carefully." Nangong Qing paused, then said somewhat dejectedly, "Unfortunately, tonight's events were still a mess..."

Chen Yun shook his head: "Wrong. Making an example of someone is a tactic that will deepen their fear—but it's not a long-term solution. You'd better be careful in the future."

"You mean, Xiao Hai Snake?" Nangong Qing asked.

"Do not."

"The guy surnamed Xiao looks arrogant, but he's actually not worth fearing. These self-proclaimed smart guys are actually the dumbest."

"You should be careful of other people."

Chen Yun shook his head and casually picked up a piece of fresh fish.
