CHAPTER 1335: CHAPTER 1326: AN INTERESTING AFFAIR

"Wait!" Just as the old man was about to announce the results, the Family Head of the Li Family spoke, using a tone that was almost threatening, "I urge everyone to carefully consider the number of votes they have. Some votes come at a cost! Such as certain people, certain interests!"

At this moment, a person dressed in a black cloak appeared silently beside him, so swiftly that even Xiao Yifei did not notice at first! But his eyes were already narrowing, the black cloak was so familiar, it was from the organization that kidnapped Ren Tianye last time!

"This event is really interesting! Haha..." the black-cloaked figure laughed sinisterly, "Such an interesting situation, why wasn’t I invited? Did you start secretly while I was capturing people?"

Then, he directly threw a pile of photos from his hand, showing various signs of people being captured.

"Old Li, isn’t this your grandson!"

"What’s going on, why is my son tied up..."

"And me too!"

...

By this point, Xiao Yifei already understood! What a clever tactic! The black-cloaked person reached some deal with the Li Family Head, kidnapping important figures from families that cast supporting votes, using this method to force them to vote against!

"Who is this! Who is this? Come on! Where’s the security, why aren’t they arresting this person?" shouted a person from one of the family heads.

"Are you talking about them?" the black-cloaked man laughed, throwing out a photo with all the outside security tied together, their mouths stuffed with towels, completely unable to move! Everyone realized, this was a coup triggered by threats!

For a moment, the Li Family Head almost had control of the entire conference room, although Xiao Yifei wished to step forward and duel with the black-cloaked figure, he knew in his heart that he was not his match, yet even if he succeeded, what good would it do? The black-cloaked man’s subordinates already controlled the core figures of these families, indirectly controlling the entire family!

At this point, taking action was completely useless, instead, it was better to hide one’s strength and strike a fatal blow at the right time! However, he was still worriedly looking at Muyun, because the whole situation was very unfavorable for them!

Old Muyun also showed no expression, as if he was pondering something, indeed, just as everyone suspected, the Li Family was involved with the Mysterious Organization, as for today’s meeting, it seemed like it would end like this...

"That’s why I said," once the black-cloaked man had control of the situation, the Li Family Head finally stepped out, smiling with extreme smugness, "things need to be thoroughly considered before acting, otherwise if there’s a problem, it’ll be embarrassing for everyone, wouldn’t it?"

Everyone was speechless, their leverage tightly held in others’ hands, they were completely helpless.

"Sigh... Old Muyun... Look... I have only one grandson..." Some families started to feel awkward because they initially intended to support Muyun, but in the current situation, there was no way, and they began to hesitate.

"It’s okay, I understand everyone’s feelings," Old Muyun said with a smile, being a rather considerate person, he wasn’t too angry.

"Alright then... I abstain..." said the first family.

"I abstain too!" said the second family.

Subsequently, various families began to abstain. The Li Family Head didn’t force them to vote against, firstly to avoid angering many families, making it difficult for the Li Family’s position in the future, and secondly, if these families abstained, Muyun’s vote count wouldn’t be enough to oppose, and the succession issue might be postponed.

And once postponed, they would have more time to do other things, things beneficial for the family, even trying to obtain the qualification for number one, wouldn’t that make the Li Family the dominant one?

"Old man, you should go count the votes..." seeing the voting coming to an end, the Li Family Head was very satisfied, this was the result he hoped for, everything just awaited the announcement, so he "kindly" reminded Old Muyun.

Old Muyun seemed to age ten years suddenly, his originally flower-white hair now looked even whiter, his calculations never included such a step, just a little more and his Yun’er could have excelled... Alas, destiny mocks people!

"Next, I..." Old Muyun stood on the stage, stuttering, usually speaking clearly, but now struggling markedly, the mood was very low among the younger generation below, led by Xiao Yifei, almost succeeding yet falling short.

"Stop it!" Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from outside the door.

"Ci Xin? She’s here?" Xiao Yifei immediately recognized the woman’s voice, it was Ci Xin whom he hadn’t seen for a few days. He thought the Hua Family’s representative was Hua Ciqianxi, but unexpectedly, Ci Xin came, followed by the Ren family’s two brothers—Ren Tianye and Ren Tianxing.

"..." Hearing Ci Xin’s voice, the black-cloaked man’s voice seemed to shiver, although the action was very subtle, even Muyun didn’t notice, but it didn’t escape Xiao Yifei’s Dharma Eye, his cultivation was naturally higher than the black-cloaked man, hence he sensed it at once, feeling surprised that such a situation could make the black-cloaked man uncomfortable!

"Isn’t what you did enough?" Without even looking at Xiao Yifei and others, Ci Xin stared coldly at the black-cloaked man.

Though the expression under the cloak was unclear, Xiao Yifei knew that the black-cloaked man was intently staring at Ci Xin, and his aura had no dignity, instead with a sort of helplessness. An inability to handle.

"Must it be a fight to the death?" Ci Xin sternly questioned again, silencing everyone, her entire being radiating an intangible aura, no one could stand up to speak.

"Who the hell is this bitch?" said one of the younger Li Family members without understanding the situation, usually fearless and unbelieving of this woman’s capability!

"Bam!" His question was answered not by words but by a slap. Moreover, the slap was dealt not by anyone else but by the masked black-cloaked man himself, striking with lightning speed, sending the Li Family youth flying, his face swelling to the size of a bun.

"Mind your descendant’s tongue," the black-cloaked man said in an extremely hoarse voice, his severe gaze seemingly piercing through the cloak straight into the Li Family Head’s eyes, "Next time, I’ll take his life."

At this time, even Li Family Head’s eyes betrayed unease, and his descendant didn’t dare utter a word, even suppressing the pain on his face into the depths of his heart. The Li Family Head glared at his descendant, no longer speaking.

"This deal is off. I won’t meddle in this affair anymore." Finally, after giving Ci Xin a deep glance, the black-cloaked man said calmly, then his shadow vanished swiftly, leaving with head held high!
