Jiang Chen's words struck deep into Gu Yun Nan's heart, leaving him silent.
Mu Zhou approached the side of the ship, the waves sweeping him up and depositing him onto the deck of the cruise liner.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen return safely, everyone was shocked, followed by a flurry of flattering remarks.
“Ahem, the duel has concluded. Everyone, please return. I hope that today’s events will remain confidential among you all and not be spread around,” Gu Yun Nan said in a clear voice.
The people present were all prominent figures from Hong Kong Island; they understood the rules and dared not disregard Gu Yun Nan's words.
Jiang Chen scanned the crowd and fixed his gaze on Liu Toukang.
“Liu Shao, you can now answer my earlier question,” Jiang Chen said.
Liu Toukang felt a chill in his heart and was about to confess everything when Han Baiying stepped forward first.
“Mr. Jiang, even if you possess great powers, our Liu Family has done nothing wrong to you. Eight billion should be enough for you. If it’s not, we won’t need your prescription. How we operate our factory is our own business; it’s not up to you to dictate who we can or cannot contact,” Han Baiying said in a deep voice, exuding an air of authority.
“I didn’t ask you,” Jiang Chen replied, his expression darkening.
“The Liu Family is under my authority; it’s only fitting that I answer this question. Eight billion is already quite generous, Mr. Jiang. Don’t be greedy; those who are greedy don’t end well,” Han Baiying said ominously.
“Ding Yan, make her shut up,” Jiang Chen said with a frown; he found Han Baiying's demeanor quite irritating.
At his command, Ding Yan quickly rolled up her sleeves and delivered several slaps to Han Baiying, causing her hair to fall loose, blood to trickle from her mouth, and her cheeks to swell.
“Mr. Jiang, stop! Stop! It’s my fault; I cooked the books,” Liu Toukang exclaimed in fear. He wasn’t foolish; he knew he could no longer rely on Jia Xingliang and Gu Yun Nan—he had to speak the truth.
Jiang Chen remained silent, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze coolly fixed on Liu Toukang.
“Mr. Jiang, I was blinded by greed; you should receive five hundred billion,” Liu Toukang continued.
“Brother, are you crazy? Five hundred billion? How is that possible?” Liu Jiyue interjected unwillingly.
Han Baiying attempted to intervene but was met with another harsh slap from Ding Yan before she could even move.
“Jiyue, be quiet! You shouldn’t meddle in this matter,” Liu Toukang snapped at his younger brother, trying to save him.
However, Liu Jiyue was deeply resentful towards Jiang Chen and failed to understand his brother's good intentions; he continued to shout.
“It seems my earlier lesson wasn’t enough for you. Since you enjoy making noise so much, I’ll make sure your words carry no weight in the future,” Jiang Chen said with a hint of impatience on his face as he reached out towards Liu Jiyue. Instantly, it was as if Liu Jiyue had been pushed forward and found himself standing directly in front of Jiang Chen; a faint shimmer began to flow from him.
This scene was astonishing but paled in comparison to the shock brought by Tu Li and Gu Yun Nan's duel moments ago.
As the shimmer flowed away from Liu Jiyue, his life force rapidly withered. Within seconds, Jiang Chen withdrew his hand, leaving Liu Jiyue looking haggard and hunched over like an old man.
In the arena, there was a profound silence. The onlookers stared in disbelief at the scene before them. How could a young man, just a moment ago, suddenly appear to have aged fifty years and transformed into an old man?
