Chapter 261: Voices Rising in Unison

The entire conference room was extremely quiet. No one doubted Dong Fang Haoran’s power. As the crown prince of the underground kingdom in the capital, his ruthlessness in the underworld was no less than his acumen in the business world.

No one wanted to end up dead on the street one day, so everyone present dared not even breathe heavily. Under the gaze of fear and reverence, Dong Fang Haoran’s lips curled slightly into a cold, sinister smile.

“I think what I’ve said is clear enough—everyone here should be able to follow through, right?”

Satisfied with the reactions of those present, Dong Fang Haoran thoroughly enjoyed this feeling. He loved being high above others, basking in their admiration. To him, any so-called rules of the business world were meaningless—he was the rule!

“Of course we can do it! We’re all old members of the Capital Club, so naturally we won’t abandon our responsibilities at a time like this…”

As soon as the words fell, those present rushed to pledge their loyalty, their fawning expressions so exaggerated they themselves felt disgusted. In truth, both Dong Fang Haoran and the others were well aware that this threat was only temporary—an unspoken understanding existed between them.

“But what about Brother Yuanfeng? Can he do it too? Although Fengyun Enterprises is now capable of standing on its own, it still needs the Capital Club’s support, right?”

Once again shifting his gaze toward Qing Yuanfeng, Dong Fang Haoran chuckled lightly, his expression slightly amused.

“The reason Fengyun Enterprises has grown so large is naturally due to much support from Brother Haoran. At a time like this, Fengyun will naturally do everything possible, and I also hope all brothers will unite and overcome this crisis together!”

Standing up, Qing Yuanfeng’s lips twitched slightly while maintaining a warm smile. However, those who were paying attention could quickly sense something unusual—this legendary figure didn’t quite harmonize with the Capital Club’s president.

Within the Capital Club, Qing Yuanfeng’s prestige was absolutely no less than Dong Fang Haoran’s. If not for Dong Fang Haoran being a member of the Dong Fang family and the crown prince of the underground kingdom in the capital, it would be uncertain who would hold the position of president of the Capital Club.

If Qing Yuanfeng was a legend in the business world, then Dong Fang Haoran was the master of the shadows. He had already proven his strength by incorporating Lingyun and Fengyun Enterprises into the Capital Club. In the past, he had even been the most prominent figure in the entire business world.

“In that case, everyone may now go attend to your duties. I hope you all will keep your promises today. Once the Capital Club defeats Huishan Enterprise, I will host a grand celebration banquet!”

Dong Fang Haoran had achieved his goal, but he didn’t show too much emotion. Upon hearing these words, the people in the conference room felt as if a great weight had been lifted from their shoulders. At this moment, their backs were already soaked with sweat, and none of them wanted to stay even a second longer.

“Brother Yuanfeng, don’t you want to stay behind and talk for a while?”

As Qing Yuanfeng also began to leave, Dong Fang Haoran stopped him. Although many were curious about what had happened between the two, no one paused their steps.

Moments later, the empty room was left with only the two of them, the atmosphere slightly awkward. Neither spoke first; two equally outstanding men were confronting each other in their own way.

Then, at a certain moment, both suddenly burst into arrogant laughter. However, the difference was that Qing Yuanfeng’s laughter carried a hint of inexplicable resentment, while Dong Fang Haoran’s laughter contained a sense of relief. He didn’t need anyone to share his power equally—he wanted a loyal, obedient dog.
