Chapter 705 - 96: Clash of Titans (Part 2)

He looked down on them considerably.

"That’s actually a good thing. The Jinhua Commerce Association has already confronted the Nine Tripods Commerce Association, now we’ll see how the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association chooses."

"If they don’t care, haha~ what other small commerce associations would want to follow?

As long as the old ghost isn’t out of his mind, this should be impossible.

This means that the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association is destined to stand up for the Jinhua Commerce Association and confront the Nine Tripods Commerce Association.

This effectively pushes the Nine Tripods Commerce Association towards us!" The vice president gently stroked his graying beard, quite delighted.

Upon hearing this, the senior members were all full of cheerful laughter.

"Everyone, what if the Nine Tripods Commerce Association doesn’t step forward?" a junior suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

"Nine Tripods Commerce Association not step forward?"

"What? Do you mean the Nine Tripods Commerce Association has truly fallen, or are you saying the new Patriarch of the Tong Family is too weak, unable even to protect the association’s tributor?" A group of people shook their heads with wry smiles.

President Gu Tianfeng glanced at the young tributor: "A starved camel is bigger than a horse; the Nine Tripods Commerce Association was once the leader of our business alliance, not so weak as that.

Even if Patriarch Tong is kind-hearted, a ruler preserving the current order, he wouldn’t disregard the association’s dignity."

"Please forgive me, everyone, it was my oversight," the junior shrank back awkwardly.

...

A similar scene was happening at the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association.

Compared to Gu Tianfeng and others at the Taian Commerce Association, the old president Ouyang Jiao of the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association appreciated Wu Yishan’s actions.

"Young Wu is not stupid."

However, most people still had the same thought as those in the Taian Commerce Association: "President, Wu Yishan’s actions may force us into opposition with the Nine Tripods Commerce Association."

Ouyang Jiao waved his hand casually and looked around: "Afraid?"

"When has our Fierce Tiger Commerce Association ever been afraid of the Nine Tripods Commerce Association?"

"Even when Ascendant Tong was the alliance leader, we never bowed."

Everyone immediately denied.

"It’s just that, with the upcoming alliance leadership election, that vote from the Nine Tripods Commerce Association is crucial, given that they have many supporters behind them, all perhaps using them as a direction." Someone explained.

Ouyang Jiao glanced at him and laughed heartily: "Haha, you, you, still too young."

"Please instruct us, President."

Ouyang Jiao did not make it mysterious: "People fear authority more than virtue, even more in the cultivation realm, and even more so in the business alliance.

As long as our Fierce Tiger Commerce Association aggressively suppresses the Nine Tripods Commerce Association, its usual supporters will definitely defect.

Even those commerce associations that have been watching will probably make a decision.

After all, many commerce associations in the alliance have faced difficult trade years, and following the previous conservative trade guidelines will only worsen the situation.

Everyone needs a reform, a reform seeking outward.

This time, our Fierce Tiger Commerce Association will sow the seed and hope for these members."

Ouyang Jiao’s courage and strategy have already gained recognition from others in the association.

At this moment, with a few words, everyone suddenly awoke.

"President’s wisdom is admirable!"

"In that case, when should we go to help the Jinhua Commerce Association?"

Ouyang Jiao shook his head: "No rush, at least wait until the Nine Tripods Commerce Association personally steps in, then we come forth in the name of upholding the alliance covenant."

"That shouldn’t be long, after all, that Chang’an True Man has gone to the Jinhua Commerce Association headquarters alone, Wu Yishan wouldn’t let him step down easily."

"Let’s watch and wait! Pay attention to the Nine Tripods Commerce Association’s movements."

----------

Looking at the furious members of the Jinhua Commerce Association, Li Ji’an’s lips curled into a slight smile.

It was as he had expected.

"Are you the president of the Jinhua Commerce Association?" Li Ji’an stepped forward, his eyes slightly narrowed, equally confrontational.

"Hmph, my family hasn’t made a move yet, but you turned the tables on me first, truly unrepentant, no wonder you’d raise such an unruly offspring!"

While speaking, Li Ji’an grabbed Wu Yehua with one hand, used a bit of force to wake him.

"Father, save me!" Wu Yehua regained a bit of consciousness and urgently shouted.

"How dare you, release my son now!" Wu Yishan’s face turned black.

"Then ask President Wu to give an explanation!" Li Ji’an remained firm, secretly exerting force.

Wu Yehua’s screams echoed throughout the Immortal City.

"Villain! Stop!" Wu Yishan hurriedly reprimanded.

"What explanation do you want?"

Without hesitation, Li Ji’an said: "A child’s faults rest with the father; you lack virtue, fail to teach, raising such disorderly offspring, naturally you must bear this consequence.

You must apologize to the world and punish this unfilial child severely.

And compensate my senior sister for various losses.

Moreover, your Jinhua Commerce Association’s tributor disregarded the business alliance covenant and attacked a fellow alliance tributor, you must also take responsibility for this.

You need to compensate Li for the loss in magical combat of five Middle Stage Tier Three spirit talismans, as well as a damaged Fourth Grade treasure robe and a damaged Fourth Grade magical treasure.

Besides, your Jinhua Commerce Association’s tributor disregarded Nine Tripods Commerce’s dignity, spoke rudely, with many insulting remarks, today I ask you, President Wu, what is the Jinhua Commerce Association’s attitude towards my Nine Tripods Commerce Association?"

A heart-sinking feeling~

Li Ji’an listed item by item, immediately leaving everyone stunned.

Each item targeted Wu Yishan’s sore spots.

Moreover, it put his reputation on the ground for mopping.

His last item even put Wu Yishan on the hot seat.

Most importantly, Li Ji’an was always speaking as an individual, even using his personal status to demand justice for the Nine Tripods Commerce Association.

Taking on an entire commerce association single-handedly!

In the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain, this is simply inconceivable.

The Jinhua Commerce Association members were furious upon hearing, feeling an extraordinary humiliation.
