Chapter 1254: Will the Falling Wall be Pushed Down or Will it Crush Everyone?
Qi Wangyang waited until no one else voiced their desire to join the elderly man’s camp before standing up and saying coldly, “All of you are pretty good at pushing down the falling wall. But don’t forget that a falling wall can also crush you to death.”
The moment Qi Wangyang spoke, the faces of the group of Creation Masters that wanted to jump ship fell.
Usually, there would be no need for the elderly man who was a pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master to cause a disturbance because he would be accepted by Connected Beast Park even if the Sea Bliss Clan lost to Connected Beast Park.
However, he had insulted Connected Beast Park significantly when he had been trying to prove his loyalty to gain Qi Wangyang’s favor.
The elderly man was afraid that Connected Beast Park would hold that against him.
Hence, he chose to fan the flames of disrest during the Sea Bliss Clan’s precarious moment between life and death.
The elderly man needed the rest of the external Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters to cause a scene just as much as they needed to follow his lead.
In order to curry favor with Qi Wangyang, the elderly man had spent a lot of time by Qi Wangyang’s side and understood Qi Wangyang well.
Qi Wangyang cared about his reputation.
He would not burn any bridges unless he were pushed to his limit.
This was why so many Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters dared to voice their desire to leave the Sea Bliss Clan during this perilous situation.
Now that Qi Wangyang was acting so mercilessly in a public setting, the elderly man felt a sense of danger creep up on him.
Qi Wangyang turned and said something to a hunched over elderly man beside him who looked extremely frail and sickly. It was as though he would collapse at any moment.
However, everyone present knew that this elderly man was not as weak as he appeared because he was the younger brother of the previous leader of the Sea Bliss Clan and the uncle of Qi Wangyang, Qi Heng.
It’s fine if none of them are loyal anymore, but their physical selves must remain with us.
According to the information that Qi Wangyang had given him prior to the meeting, the City Lord of Sky City only ripped a new one into Qi Wangyang and Qi Haitao.
However, he had not said that he would not help the Sea Bliss Clan.
It was a fact that Sky City and the Miao family were enemies.
Qi Wangyang and Qi Haitao had been taught a lesson and chased out because they had not been sincere enough.
If news that the members of the Sea Bliss Clan left got out, the Sea Bliss Clan’s value would decrease significantly in the public’s eyes.
This would cause Sky City to devalue the Sea Bliss Clan as well, and the Sea Bliss Clan would have less to leverage in exchange for Sky City’s help.
Qi Heng could not accept this.
As he looked around at the roomful of perturbed people and furious Qi Wangyang, Qi Heng rapped his cane on the ground and said, “Leader, I will go and speak to Sky City myself. What is your bottom line?”
Qi Wangyang’s face lit up with delight.
If Qi Heng had the courage to take over this issue, Qi Wangyang could relax to a certain extent.
“Uncle, I’m willing to give Sky City 80% of the Sea Bliss Clan’s shares at the most. At that point, the Sea Bliss Clan will essentially become a branch of Sky City. I hope that when you’re negotiating with them, you’ll be able to gain their promise to provide the Sea Bliss Clan with resources in exchange for 80% of our shares.”
The elderly man could not help but think of what his elder brother had said of his nephew, “Wangyang will be able to develop the Sea Bliss Clan but will be unable to save the Sea Bliss Clan from danger.”
Apparently, Qi Heng’s brother knew his son like the palm of his hand.
On the brink of life and death, he could not allow Qi Wangyang to do as he pleased any longer.
Instead of responding to what Qi Wangyang had said, he turned to ask Qi Haitao, “Haitao, what are your thoughts on this?”
