The deaths of Ta'er De and Sanben Qingfu were bound to provoke retaliation from the Ge'er Family and the Divine Palace of Beihai National. Li Xiangmin needed to secure cooperation with the Flame Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible and move the Li family's industries there.
Only in this way, neither the Ge'er Family nor the Divine Palace of Beihai National would dare act rashly!
That's why he was so desperate for support from the Jiang Family through Chen Long.
Chen Long, however, did not pay attention to Li Xiangmin but kept sizing up Xing Fei and Mengte De'er.
The expression in Xing Fei's eyes shifted slightly, and she silently wondered, "Is this person a member of the Jiang Family? If so, he must be from a collateral line. Has he seen us before?"
"Xing Fei! Mengte De'er!?"
Just as Li Xiangmin was about to lose his patience, Chen Long suddenly shouted, "They are from the Jiang Family of Jincheng, people of Jiang Chen, the traitor of the Jiang Family. Family Head Li, seize them, and Family Head Ming Hui will surely reward you handsomely!"
"What?! You are from the Jiang Family?"
Li Xiangmin's face greatly changed, his gaze fixed on Xing Fei and the others, turning quite unsightly. If Xing Fei and the others were really from the Jiang Family and their identities were false, then their earlier talks about gaining shares could also be false!
"Family Head Li, whether we are from the Jiang Family or not doesn't really concern you," said Xing Fei, her eyes flickering slightly as she spoke softly, "What you want is cooperation, and we can cooperate with you. As for this fellow's talk about Family Head Ming Hui..."
Xing Fei turned her head to look at Chen Long, giving a cold smile, "Jiang Minghui is already dead. Now the Jiang Family is under my big brother Jiang Chen. I am not sure what confidence you have to offer the Jiang Family a deal with Mr. Li!"
Li Xiangmin's face changed again, his mind quickly turning, and he looked at Chen Long, speaking venomously, "Chen Long, is what she said true? Is Jiang Minghui dead?"
Chen Long's heart trembled violently, his face suddenly turned pale, and he spoke in panic, "Family Head Li, don't listen to her nonsense, Ming Hui is not dead, Jiang Chen is, yes, it's Jiang Chen who is dead!"
"Mr. Jiang is not dead!" Pu Minsung, who had been watching the drama unfold, exclaimed.
The people in the banquet hall turned their eyes toward Pu Minsung.
Pu Minsung glanced at Chen Long, then turned to Li Xiangmin, "Uncle, you should know that our Sangsen Group is currently cooperating with Yi Chen Group of Dingjing, and the chairman of Yi Chen Group is Jiang Chen of the Jiang Family of Jincheng. Now, we are not only opening up the southern market of the Flame Dragon Kingdom with Yi Chen Group, but we are also preparing to work with Longteng Group to open up the northern market of the Flame Dragon Kingdom! If you are willing to cooperate with Mr. Jiang, I can arrange for you to meet Mr. Jiang!"
"Bastard!"
Li Xiangmin cursed, his face uncertain.
By now, even the dimmest would know they had been deceived. Perhaps what Xing Fei and the others had said was all lies.
But things had already reached this point, with even Ta'er De and Sanben Qingfu dead by his hand, he had no way out.
Ultimately of a hawkish nature, Li Xiangmin quickly made up his mind.
Raising his hand and pointing at Chen Long, Li Xiangmin roared, "Kill him!"
Whoosh!
An Innate master of the Li Family suddenly rushed toward Chen Long, delivering a fierce palm strike to Chen Long's head.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Chen Long's head instantly split apart, brain matter splattering everywhere!
"Mr. Mengte De'er, I want to know exactly how Jun Cheng died!" Li Xiangmin's side, Li Xiangzhen had also come to, her eyes shining coldly as she looked at Mengte De'er.
Mengte De'er's expression remained indifferent as he responded, "What do you mean by that, Madam Li? I may have concealed our identities, but what does that have to do with Li Juncheng's death?"
"You..."
Li Xiangzhen glared furiously at Mengte De'er, just about to continue speaking when Li Xiangmin pulled her back.
Now Li Xiangmin fully understood the situation; this Mengte De'er must be a man from the Jiang Family of Jincheng in the Flame Dragon Kingdom, which filled him with a sense of loss coupled with a fierce anger.
But he had to suppress his anger!
In today's battle, he had offended the Ge'er Family and the Divine Palace of Beihai National. Under such circumstances, the Southern Country's Divine Palace could no longer protect him. Being able to leave the Southern Country safely was already the limit of what the Divine Palace could do. If he offended Mengte De'er as well, then he would have nowhere to hide.
"Mr. Mengte De'er, I don't want to pursue Jun Cheng's death any further, let's just say he was killed by someone from the Divine Palace. I have a request, and I hope you can agree!" Li Xiangmin stared intently at Mengte De'er.
Mengte De'er said indifferently, "Go on."
"I want to go to the Flame Dragon Kingdom. I can give you the LK Group, but I need at least 40% of the shares in either Yi Chen Group or Longteng Group. I need a firm foothold in the Flame Dragon Kingdom!" Li Xiangmin spoke emphatically.
This was his decision.
Driven into a corner now, the Flame Dragon Kingdom was his only option. Anywhere else in the world would not make the Ge'er Family or the Divine Palace of Beihai National wary; he had to compromise!
"I can't make that decision," Mengte De'er gently shook his head: "I need to ask Mr. Jiang."
"Alright!" Li Xiangmin nodded vigorously, staring directly at Mengte De'er, obviously wanting him to make the call right then.
Mengte De'er frowned slightly and took out his phone to make a call.
"Hello, Del, we are on our way immediately!" The call connected quickly, and Jiang Chen's anxious voice came through the receiver, "Has something happened?"
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Li Xiangmin, chairman of the Southern Country's LK Group, wishes to collaborate with you. He has offended the Ge'er Family and Divine Palace of Beihai National, and the Southern Country's Divine Palace cannot protect him anymore. He wants to trade LK Group for 40% of the shares in either Yi Chen Group or Longteng Group, along with residential rights in the Flame Dragon Kingdom," Mengte De'er spoke softly.
Jiang Chen, on his way to the main villa, suddenly stopped in his tracks. Spirit You and Feng Lang instantly positioned themselves protectively on either side of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's mind raced, and he quickly grasped the key issue; he spoke quietly, "Have him sign a share transfer agreement immediately, 20% of the shares as a down payment, right now, immediately!"
"Yes!"
Mengte De'er's response came through the receiver.
Jiang Chen hung up the phone and rushed toward the main villa.
When the three of them arrived outside the main villa, Jiang Chen sensed an Innate Grandmaster hidden in the greenery outside the banquet hall. After detecting the presence, Jiang Chen, along with Spirit You, dived into the greenery.
"Dragon King!" Chen Jiantao greeted softly from within the greenery.
"Hold on a moment! Not a single one from the Li family must escape; they are also involved with the gene potion research!" Jiang Chen spoke quietly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiantao's expression also drastically changed.
They suddenly realized the issue Jiang Chen had thought of concerning the gene potion; they now knew participants already included the Northern Confederation, Beihai National, and now the Southern Country, expanding the involved powers to such a vast extent.
Could there be other countries involved as well?
This thought was extremely terrifying!
