The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO

"Hermes, is there really no room for negotiation? I advise you not to side with Philip on this matter, and advise you not to abuse your power for personal gain!" Jack said with an unpleasant expression.

"OK, Jack, my old brother, I roughly understand what you mean."

Hermes chuckled and gave a very kind smile, then took out his phone and leisurely made a call: "Notify them, reduce the monthly funding support for the Jack family and the Hades family by 30%!"

"What the hell!"

Hades cursed on the spot, his eyes dodging madly, face looking very unpleasant, and on the brink of tears, thinking why should he, Hermes, be angry with Jack and take out on him!

The baby is innocent!

"Brother Hermes, you got a point there. Under your guidance, I realize deploying troops against Ye Huan is really too foolish and hasty. This matter needs to be studied further. I support not deploying troops for now!" Hades showed Hermes a flattering smile, raised his hand directly for a re-vote, and changed his mind.

Because of the financial support Hermes provides to the various families, each family already distributes the maximum amount to their followers and thugs. Once the financial support is reduced by 30%, the salary for these followers and thugs will decrease accordingly.

Problems will arise within the family, and Hades will become the target of everyone's wrath within the family, facing tremendous pressure!

Hades dare not resist!

"Hades, I didn't expect you to be quite good at assessing the situation, alright then!" Hermes said with a cheeky grin, picked up his phone again, and added: "Only reduce the Jack family's financial support, keep the Hades family's funding at the normal amount!"

Little did he know, this made Jack even angrier. He slammed the table, stood up, pointed furiously at Hermes, and roared: "Hermes, I warn you, don't go too far!"

"Jack, my old brother, I understand what you mean."

Hermes grinned, then said into the phone: "Reduce the Jack family's funding support by another 20%!"

"Hermes!!!!"

"Reduce the Jack family's salary by another 10%!"

"Hermes!"

"Reduce by 5%!"

"Hermes..."

"5%!"

"Her..."

"15%!"

"Hermes, I feel what you said makes a lot of sense. The decision to deploy troops against Ye Huan is indeed too foolish and can be temporarily abandoned!"

"Jack, if only you'd been this smart earlier, you wouldn't have wasted so much of my time and breath."

Hermes, as Jack sat back down with a belly full of anger, didn't stop; instead, he mocked strongly, saying: "To punish you, your family will only receive 5% of the original funding amount next month! Let this be a lesson!"

"I announce this roundtable meeting is adjourned!"

"Keep Ye Huan under strict surveillance!"

"Do not kill him until absolutely necessary!"

Hermes snorted angrily, stood up, and grabbed a particularly large turkey drumstick from the table, gnawing on it as he left.

He didn't even ask the remaining dukes for their views on the matter, but there was no need for him to ask, since even Jack, who proposed the idea, was forced to concede defeat and agreed to temporarily abolish the proposal. If other dukes persisted in opposing Hermes, they would be choosing poverty!

Marquis Winley and Duke Kronos both got up and left, their faces alternating between green and purple. The murderous Jack cast a smug glance, which made Jack want to vomit blood even more!

"Jack, my brother, my condolences." Other dukes sighed, comforted Jack with a word, and then left. Some of them were friends of Jack, but in this matter, dared not challenge Hermes.

Even Jack himself regretted it; with 95% of family funding cut, it basically meant his family's disciples wouldn't receive a penny of salary next month, and would certainly curse him, possibly holding a roundtable meeting within the family to impeach him!

"Damn it, Hermes, I hate you!" Jack was desperately furious, almost letting out a cry, but instead of wasting energy on sobbing, he picked up the phone and called the powerful thugs under his family: "Stand down, don't act!"

Clearly, these powerful thugs were arranged by Jack to go to Wuya Town, waiting for Ye Huan to take the bait and then attack Ye Huan, sending Ye Huan to Hell!

Unfortunately, the "poor" yet despicable Six Doors executives didn't know about the roundtable meeting nor did they know Jack had completely abandoned them!

...

"Whew——"

Late in the still night, in the back mountain area of the Ling Family.

In the side room of a small cabin.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

After first going to the Jian Family, then rushing to Ling Fufu's cave mansion to cultivate Sword Formulas together.

It's been about twenty days since Ye Bingning has been intimate with Ye Huan.

As soon as he returned to the Ling Family, after eating dinner, when they were finally alone, they couldn't help but get romantic.

"Boss, you really don't understand how to treat precious beauty gently." Ye Bingning curled up in Ye Huan's arms, speaking with a slightly resentful tone.

Ye Huan laughed, and said: "After a while, I'll teach you a set of Ancient Martial Secret Techniques as promised. By then, you won't feel so tired or overwhelmed."

"Alright, alright, I'll forgive you this time temporarily."

Actually, Ye Bingning wasn't blaming Ye Huan. On the contrary, she could feel Ye Huan's affection for her through his actions, making her feel delighted, so she couldn't possibly blame Ye Huan.

"By the way, boss, speaking of which, how come your power has grown so quickly?"

"Did bloodline awakening and the cultivation techniques passed down by the Ling God really work that amazingly, with such strong effects?"

"Your current strength is close to Intermediate Divine King, but your true power seems to have reached Extreme Divine King and is at the level of Intermediate Extreme Divine King!"

Ye Bingning didn't go to the Tian Family Martial Arts Arena with Ling Luzhou. She knew about Ye Huan's power because the Tian Family set up a special live broadcast line for the Ling Family and two top-tier families — Tian and Zhan.

She officially witnessed Ye Huan slaying Shangguan's Eight Brothers through television live broadcast and learned that Ye Huan's ancient martial strength reached such a terrifying level!

To be honest, Ye Huan's strength shocked her greatly. She knew Ye Huan was incredible, but didn't expect Ye Huan to be so incredibly strong!

His power is actually this strong, simply reached the peak!
