This person's methods are simply too terrifying; I've never heard of anything like it before!

"They've been dealt with, and now it's your turn!" Chen Zheng turned his head, his gaze falling upon Liu Daoyun.

That incomparably cold look instantly shattered Liu Daoyun's defenses, as if his very soul had been pierced. Liu Daoyun collapsed to the ground, his legs trembling nonstop. A large wet patch formed under his trousers as liquid kept flowing out. He was utterly terrified into incontinence!

"Mr. Chen, I beg you to show mercy! You must not kill him!" Gao Feng immediately stepped forward, pleading for Liu Daoyun. "Liu Changyun only has this one grandson. If he dies here, I'm afraid it will be a life-and-death struggle between us and the alliance!"

Gao Feng's expression was extremely grim. If he were alone, he wouldn't care about turning on them; he could just fight to the bitter end. But he was representing the entire association, with many brothers behind him. The alliance's power was now a fact, and offending them would only lead to more trouble.

The most crucial point was that Liu Changyun had made his name in the martial world over twenty years ago, and no one knew the extent of his power now. Even among grandmasters of internal strength, the gap could be as vast as that between heaven and earth. Chen Zheng had just displayed unimaginable power, but Gao Feng was not at all certain he would be a match for Liu Changyun.

"Do you think," Chen Zheng scoffed, "if I let him go, we could live in peace with the alliance?"

Without any hesitation, he snapped his fingers again. With a POP, Liu Daoyun's chest burst open, his body instantly enveloped in blood. His eyes bulged, and within a few breaths, he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The surroundings fell silent once again. Everyone was too shocked to speak.

Chen Zheng carelessly wiped out everyone from the alliance!

Seeing Liu Daoyun's corpse, Gao Feng couldn't help but shake his head bitterly. Things had developed to this point, and it was impossible to turn back.

Chen Zheng calmly retracted his gaze, glanced at Gao Feng, and spoke in a serene voice, "Liu Daoyun was right about one thing.

"The so-called rules are there to constrain the weak, because they have no other choice. But the strong have always been the ones to break rules and create their own!

"Don't think that acting humbly or compromising will earn you respect. In the eyes of the strong, that's just a way to humiliate the weak!

"Chairman Gao, let me give you some advice. The association exists to protect the justice that has nearly vanished from this world. Even if you must die on your feet, you can never live on your knees!

"This is the responsibility we, as Martial Artists, should bear!"

After saying this, Chen Zheng turned and walked away. In that moment, Gao Feng's face flushed with deep shame. After hearing those words, the long-lost sense of responsibility rose in his heart once more. His blood boiled, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen..." Gao Feng slowly turned, bowing respectfully in the direction Chen Zheng had left.

For many years, the association had been striving just to survive. Only now did he understand just how much he had lost in the process!

The news of Liu Daoyun's death at the mine hadn't caused a stir yet. In the last couple of days, another piece of news was making the rounds.

A popular e-commerce platform, Xixi, had started preparing for its final round of financing. This move attracted the full attention of financial consortiums everywhere and was sure to cause a massive stir in the stock market. All signs pointed to this being a life-and-death battle between Ronghua Group and Jingsheng Group!

News of Ronghua Group's earlier sniper attack had already spread, and with Jingsheng Group also making moves in the shadows, the situation had grown murky. Everyone was very clear that the two companies had reached a do-or-die situation, and this final round of financing was their battle for life and death.

However, to all observers, Ronghua Group appeared to hold a significant advantage on the surface, possessing several hundred thousand more shares than their opponent. This advantage was enough to give them the absolute initiative in the upcoming competition. But the gap wasn't enough to guarantee a sure win. Jingsheng Group also held over a million shares, and if used properly, they wouldn't necessarily lose.

「At this very moment...」

In Jingsheng Group's conference room, all the senior directors were present. Chen Zheng had been invited to take the most prominent seat. At a time like this, no one dared to say a word. Chen Zheng's previous performance had earned everyone's respect; they knew just how capable this young man was. Many of the so-called experts already felt inadequate in comparison.

It was just past nine in the morning.

"It's starting..." someone murmured. All eyes immediately turned to the screen at the front.

At that moment, Xixi's stock price began to plummet wildly.

"What's going on?"

"Why is it dropping so fast all of a sudden?"

"Something feels wrong..."

Seeing this, everyone was taken aback. After all, Xixi's stock price had been quite stable recently, even showing an upward trend. Now was the critical time for the final round of financing. Most people would have been bullish; no one expected the market to fall the moment it opened. Could it be about to nosedive? If that were the case, many people would probably be heading to the nearest rooftop.

Feng Yueyue looked surprised. She had never expected Ronghua Group to completely defy convention.

"President Feng, Ronghua Group is frantically selling off their shares of Xixi! They've sold a hundred thousand in the last five minutes!" the trader immediately reported. "If this trend continues, the stock price is expected to plunge within thirty minutes!"

Suddenly, everyone in the room was in an uproar. A rapidly falling stock price meant that the capital on both sides would shrink quickly. This was a strategy that would cost them eight hundred to kill a thousand of the enemy!

Seeing the situation, someone immediately suggested they start selling their shares as well. If they didn't sell now, their losses would be even more severe. Every second that passed meant they were losing massive amounts of money.

Feng Yueyue seemed relatively calm as she turned to look at Chen Zheng. "Mr. Chen, what should we do now?"

Chen Zheng's brows furrowed. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Buy it all! Whatever they sell, we'll buy."
