Although Irving and Jas required so ti for preparation, they did not feel significant pressure. Their preparations were rely to ensure that their weapons were ready for battle.
At the agreed-upon ti, Irving and Jas arrived at the headquarters of the Angel Guild.
"The family eting of the White family will be held this afternoon! We must seize this opportunity to regain control of the Green Ivy Company!" Jas said emphatically upon seeing Irving.
Irving nodded. "I understand. I will demonstrate my strength in front of your family mbers. I will make sure they hand over the Green Ivy Company to us."
Irving's words reassured Jas sowhat. "Alright, then let's head out now!"
Under Jas' lead, the two quickly arrived at the White family's luxurious villa located in the suburbs of the City of Warding.
As Jas and Irving reached the entrance of the opulent villa, all eyes were focused on the two of them.
Irving did not recognize these people, so he did not react at all. Jas, on the other hand, recognized so of those looking at him. Among them were a few mbers of the White family, while others were rely employees serving the White family.
"What are you looking at? Don't you all recognize ? I am the heir of the family! Have you all forgotten the family rules?" Jas shouted sternly at the surrounding people.
The ordinary employees serving the White family were clearly intimidated by Jas; so of them even began to bow to him.
However, the mbers of the White family did not easily succumb to Jas' intimidation. One young man wore a contemptuous smile as he mockingly said to Jas, "I thought it was soone important. Turns out it's just Jas! You used to be the heir of the White family, but don't forget, you are neither the heir of the White family now nor the president of the Green Ivy Company. So you have no right to give orders here! In fact, I believe you aren't even qualified to attend this family eting! Why are you back here like a stray dog? Haven't you already aligned yourself with the Angel Guild?"
After the young man finished speaking, several mbers of the White family around him erupted into mocking laughter. Their hostility toward Jas was utterly unhidden.
Faced with the scorn of the family mbers, Jas shot a cold glare at the young man. "You don't have the right to judge ! You are just a distant relative of the White family! Your presence here is rely because you've ingratiated yourself with my cousins. Without their permission, you wouldn't even be allowed to be here! You people are just opportunistic turncoats. I have no ti to waste with you."
After Jas finished speaking, he led Irving into the luxurious villa. No one stopped them. Although the mbers of the White family clearly held animosity toward Jas, they acknowledged that he was indeed qualified to attend this family eting. Moreover, Jas was accompanied by Irving.
The core mbers of the White family recognized Irving; they all knew of his formidable strength. Even if they did not intend to allow Jas to reclaim his position as the heir of the White family, they had no reason to offend Irving.
Under Jas' guidance, the two quickly arrived at the main hall of the White family's luxurious villa. The core family mbers were already gathered there.
As Jas and Irving entered, all eyes in the hall turned toward them.
"Since you're here, find a seat," an ancient voice called out from the depths of the hall. This voice belonged to the oldest mber of the White family, who was currently in control of the family.
Jas casually chose a seat, while Irving sat next to him.
"The core mbers of the White family are all present. Today, we will discuss who should be appointed as the president of the Green Ivy Company," the ancient voice continued.
"Jas is no longer qualified to be the president of the Green Ivy Company. Even if he has a very close relationship with the Angel Guild, it cannot compensate for the damage he has caused to the Green Ivy Company in the past."
As soon as the ancient voice finished speaking, a middle-aged woman stood up and said loudly. She aid to position herself as the president of the Green Ivy Company.
"So, who do you think should be the president of the Green Ivy Company?" the ancient voice asked directly.
Without any hesitation, the middle-aged woman replied, "I believe I am the most qualified person to be the president of the Green Ivy Company. I hold a doctorate in business managent, and I am fluent in three languages. If I am in charge of the Green Ivy Company, it will thrive and grow!"
The middle-aged woman was mistaken about one crucial point. She thought that the most important quality for the president of the Green Ivy Company was strong managent skills. However, in reality, the president should possess formidable personal strength and be well-versed in the shelter ga.
The middle-aged woman had limited understanding of the shelter ga. She only knew that so strange things appeared in the world of the shelter ga. She even believed that the information related to the shelter ga was rely a collection of odd tales and rumors.
As soon as the middle-aged woman finished expressing her thoughts, laughter erupted in the hall. It was clear that she was the only one in the room unaware of the significance of the shelter ga.
Upon hearing the laughter, the expression on the middle-aged woman's face turned very fierce. She looked around and shouted, "What are you all laughing at?! You're just a bunch of useless fools! If you had enough capability, the Green Ivy Company and our White family wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation right now. The strength of the Green Ivy Company and the White family used to be comparable to that of the Ocean Group and the Smith family. But now, we have fallen far behind the Smith family!"
The middle-aged woman hoped to persuade others to support her bid for the presidency of the Green Ivy Company with her words. However, it was evident that her plan would not succeed.
"Is there anyone else with a new candidate for the president of the Green Ivy Company?" the ancient voice spoke again.
At that mont, Jas stood up directly. "I am the one who should be the president of the Green Ivy Company! Although I made so mistakes in the past, those mistakes were unavoidable! After all, the Green Ivy Company faced targeted attacks from the Night Blades. No one could have perford better than I did. Who among you could withstand the attacks from the two elders of the Night Blades? Who among you could retreat unscathed under their full assault?"
Jas spoke with a tone of great confidence. He believed that his past performance was indeed the best. Any mber of the White family would not have done better than him.
However, Jas' words did not convince the others. The middle-aged woman was the first to respond, directly countering Jas. "Don't try to deceive with these lies. The Night Blades and the Angel Guild are just fabrications of your imagination. I don't believe in the existence of such strange things."
As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, a young man stood up and said to Jas, "Cousin, stop struggling! Even if no one could perform better than you, you no longer have the right to compete for the position of president of the Green Ivy Company."
As the young man spoke, everyone turned their gaze toward him. Once he finished, Jas coldly replied, "Do you really think you are qualified to be the president of the Green Ivy Company? You do have so abilities, but you should be a bit more humble."
When the young man heard Jas' words, he let out a cold laugh. "You're really quite humorous! Even with Irving here, I have no need to be humble. My strength is not far behind Irving's."
As soon as the young man said this, expressions of shock appeared on the faces of everyone present—everyone except the middle-aged woman.
Jas carefully examined his cousin, realizing he didn't know much about him. All he knew was that his cousin was very ambitious and hardworking. For a mont, Jas didn't know what to say, as he was unsure how strong his cousin really was.
While Jas hesitated, Irving smiled and turned his gaze toward Jas' cousin. He calmly asked, "Do you really think your strength is comparable to mine? If so, would you like to spar with ?"
Although Irving spoke in a very calm tone, everyone who heard him felt a heavy tension in the air. They could tell that Irving was sowhat irritated.
Jas' cousin nodded. "Of course, I can spar with you! But before we start, I want to make sure we clarify everything. If I can withstand your attack during the spar, you and my cousin must acknowledge that I am the only one qualified to be the president of the Green Ivy Company."
As soon as Jas' cousin finished speaking, Irving smiled and replied, "No problem."

Irving said this without even consulting Jas. Jas' cousin didn't trust what Irving had said, so he looked at Jas for confirmation. Although Jas felt uncertain, he could only trust Irving at this point. He nodded.
"Let's do it! However, if you cannot withstand Irving's attack, you cannot contest the position of president of the Green Ivy Company with anymore," Jas added.
Jas' cousin naturally agreed to this proposal, but before he could speak, Irving interjected, "It doesn't need to be that complicated! You only need to withstand one of my attacks!"
Irving was far more confident than Jas. The expression on Jas' cousin's face grew serious; he felt that Irving was underestimating him. He secretly resolved to ensure that the fight lasted at least a considerable amount of ti.
Jas' cousin knew that his strength was not on par with Irving's, but he believed he could still hold Irving back for a while.
