Now, An Xiaowan has basically fallen into Bai Yan’s hands, with only President An remaining sowhat difficult to handle.
After all, President An has a cold and stunning personality, very principled.
However, Bai Yan isn’t discouraged. No matter what, since this is a marriage arrangent decided by his father, Bai Yan must win over President An!
Whether you are willing or not, you have to be willing. In any case, no one can change the fact that you are my woman!
Perhaps to soothe Bai Yan’s emotions, the second-ranking leader and Mr. An began changing the subject, discussing so other trivial matters.
Both elderly n valued Bai Yan highly and took great care of his emotional state; they didn’t want such an outstanding young man to be knocked down by wounds of the past.
But obviously, they underestimated Bai Yan.
The events of the past were indeed shocking for Bai Yan, infuriating, and could even lead one to be blinded by hatred.
If it were the Bai Yan of the past who heard these things, he would have lost his composure instantly, wanting to take up a sword and horse to seek revenge on the enemies who killed his parents.
But the Bai Yan of today is different; he has beco more profound, more scheming, and far more capable of biding his ti.
He does not take action lightly, but when he does, he is lethal!
Bai Yan’s displayed calmness is not because he doesn’t care about the secret of his parents’ deaths, but because he knows that right now his most important task is to strengthen himself.
Whether it is for revenge for his parents or to pursue the absolute freedom he desires, everything rests upon the foundation of his own strength!
As the topic continued, it gradually returned to Wanyan Company’s dicine No.1.
The elder took a sipped of tea with a smile, "Little Bai Yan, is there really no formula for the Wanyan dicine No.1? Don’t worry, the state won’t leak your formula, nor will it compete with your business."
Bai Yan, bewildered and amused, said, "General, I’m not lying to you! I developed the Wanyan Potion using my own special thods, there really isn’t a so-called formula!"
"I understand, you are an Abnormal, I know."
The elder chuckled while nodding; he took Bai Yan’s ntion of special thods as a reference to his special abilities as an Abnormal.
Bai Yan’s identity as an Abnormal was sothing he was aware of, since the reports from the Abnormal People Organization in HZ city had to be submitted to the higher-ups.
Bai Yan smiled, not intending to explain further.
While the identity of an Abnormal might be a misunderstanding, it also provided the best cover for the Abyss Dominator System.
"By the way, I heard from Mayor Chen recently that so leading pharmaceutical enterprises in Hua Xia want to reconcile with you. I ca here also to ask about what Wanyan Company’s stance is on this matter."
The elder continued playing chess with Mr. An and casually brought up the subject.
After pondering for a mont, Bai Yan asked tentatively, "May I know your opinion on this matter?"
"Little Bai Yan, I think, young people, it’s inevitable to want to vent when provoked, but I still hope you will prioritize the bigger picture."
The elder continued with a smile, "For venting, just deal with Hengle. As for the several leading enterprises in the country, we should forgive them where possible. After all, they have also contributed a lot to the country."
"Understood, I will listen to the General. As long as they offer a certain amount of compensation, after all, Wanyan can’t suffer losses for nothing."
Bai Yan spoke cheerfully.
"How much money do you want?"
The elder was slightly shocked; this young man really was unusual. I personally spoke for them, yet he is still demanding compensation!
"Not much, just ten billion."
Bai Yan replied indifferently with a smile.
For Bai Yan to let these enterprises off the hook was possible, but the loss suffered by Wanyan had to be recovered tenfold! Bai Yan, to his core, wasn’t soone who bore losses lightly.
"...."
The elder’s expression was one of astonishnt, hesitating to place his chess piece.
A man daring to ask for money in front of the second-ranking leader, and a lump sum of ten billion at that! Probably in the whole country, only Bai Yan dared to do so!
Seeing the elder’s completely shocked expression, Mr. An couldn’t help but laugh heartily from the side, "Old pal, now you realized how stubborn Little Bai Yan is, haven’t you! I have long said, his temperant isn’t one to accept losses!"
"This is really... alas, I promise on their behalf."
The elder smiled bitterly, shaking his head.
"Thank you, General. Here’s my card number, you can let them transfer the money when the ti cos."
Bai Yan chuckled and asked the nanny for a pen and paper, scribbling down his bank account number.
The elder took the slip of paper and, after looking at the string of bank account numbers, was sowhat speechless. This kid really does things his own way!
"You... Sigh, what am I to say about you!"
The elder shook his head at Bai Yan with a helpless bitter smile: "You really are just like your father, never willing to suffer the slightest loss!"
"Back in the day, because one of his team mbers was injured by the Blood Clan of the Dark Council, your father led his team to their doorstep for revenge, and that was quite sothing... forget it, I won’t go into details."
"Dragon Shadow."
The elder called out behind him.
Where there had been no one behind him monts before, ripples now appeared in the Void of the courtyard, and a young man in military uniform stepped out.
Bai Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the hairs on his skin stood on end—a profound sense of danger emanated from this military man.
This man must have been by the elder’s side all along, yet Bai Yan had failed to notice him! If Dragon Shadow hadn’t appeared voluntarily, Bai Yan wouldn’t have known that there was such a mysterious and powerful guard next to the Deputy Chief!
Moreover, Bai Yan found that his Demon’s Eye was ineffective against this man!
The Demon’s Eye could not discern his strength!
But the intuition of the Demon Lord told Bai Yan that this young man was incredibly strong! So strong! He truly seed like a dragon, his deanor calm yet formidable!
"Dragon Shadow, send soone to tell those bosses to pool their funds and wire the money to Little Bai Yan. After all, so of them have indeed made mistakes, and it is right for them to spend money to mitigate the disaster."
The elder handed over the slip of paper with an indifferent expression.
"Yes, Chief."
Dragon Shadow took the paper emotionlessly, his voice ethereal, almost unreal to the hearer.
Bai Yan kept his eyes firmly on Dragon Shadow, who lifted his head to glance at Bai Yan, their gazes clashing in the air.
Even during such a direct confrontation, Bai Yan found that he could not clearly see Dragon Shadow’s features. Despite the man standing right before him, Bai Yan always felt he couldn’t grasp his presence, as if Dragon Shadow’s entire being was elusive, his face indistinct, as though he didn’t exist in this world!
Dragon Shadow gave Bai Yan a courteous smile and nodded.
Bai Yilong was a legendary figure in the military, a hero worthy of admiration, so Dragon Shadow, too, was considerably more amiable towards Bai Yan.
Afterward, he turned around and gave a standard military salute to Elder An and the Deputy Chief, with Dragon Shadow’s figure slowly fading away, vanishing into the Void.
Dragon Shadow faded away like colors on a palette growing dimr, disappearing slowly from Bai Yan’s sight without leaving a trace.
With Dragon Shadow’s departure, the dangerous feeling that enveloped Bai Yan gradually dissipated, leaving a cold sweat on Bai Yan’s back—the land of Hua Xia truly was a hidden crouching tiger and a hidden dragon with countless powerful beings!
"Hm?"
The elder frowned slightly, listening intently, then suddenly looked up at Bai Yan with surprise: "Little Bai Yan, I didn’t realize your strength was quite impressive!"
"Chief, why do you say that?"
Bai Yan asked in a deep voice.
"Dragon Shadow just now praised your strength as very strong. There are very few in Hua Xia who receive such praise from Dragon Shadow."
The elder said, smiling cheerfully.
"Chief, may I ask who Dragon Shadow is..."
"Ah, he’s an Abnormal as well, but also a soldier, considered one of your predecessors."
The elder cheerfully interrupted Bai Yan, who realized that the Deputy Chief was sowhat reluctant to reveal information about Dragon Shadow’s identity.
Bai Yan fell silent.
Dragon Shadow hadn’t spoken openly just now, so how had the Deputy Chief heard Dragon Shadow’s praise of him? Was this his Abnormal ability?
Only at this mont did Bai Yan deeply feel the pressure of trendous strength.
Not to ntion the whole world, even in Hua Xia, his strength was still considered modest.
Not to ntion, Bai Yan has always wanted to beco a powerful entity capable of controlling his absolute freedom, even desiring to use the power of the Demon Lord to conquer countless realms! Compared to this mighty and distant goal, the current Bai Yan needed to strive even harder.
Bai Yan knew profoundly that without formidable power, he would always be like at on the chopping board, unable to protect his woman, unable to have his own free will, let alone seek revenge for his parents, only to be slaughtered by others at will!
Bai Yan renewed his spirits, chatted with the Deputy Chief for a while, and played a few gas of chess before leaving Anxiang Villa with the two won.
As Bai Yan was leaving, a bodyguard from the An Family Mansion delivered a letter—it was from Mr. An to Bai Yan.
