At the same time, in a five-star hotel, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe with long hair sat on a sofa.
He exuded an ancient yet sharp aura, giving the impression of a long-sealed sword.
Before him stood two young men, seemingly terrified of his presence, trembling and sweating profusely.
The next second, the yellow-robed man coldly cursed, "You two are useless! What did you tell me back then? You promised there would be no problems!"
"Lord Yan, please calm your anger. This was purely an accident!" one of the men below said.
Another young man quickly nodded, "Yes! We didn't know they could invite the hottest female singer in the country to endorse them!"
The yellow-robed man snorted, "No more explanations! In short, you failed, you are useless, you are incompetent!"
With that, he waved his hand, and the two were sent flying, crashing against the wall and groaning in pain.
If Ye Feng had seen this scene, he would have been utterly astonished.
Because these two young men were none other than the eldest young masters of the Tang and Zhao families, Tang Zhiyang and Zhao Yanxuan.
These were the eldest young masters of the Tang and Zhao families, two of the four major families in the southeastern province! To be treated like dogs here was truly unbelievable.
The next second, the yellow-robed man on the sofa continued, "My sect will emerge in the near future. I will give you one last chance. Control the southeastern province as soon as possible, or keeping you is of no use! Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, their faces turned pale, and they repeatedly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, we will, we will!"
"Alright! Get out!"
The two felt an immense sense of relief and hurriedly ran out.
After leaving the hotel, Zhao Yanxuan said, "These cultivators are simply perverts, monsters. They don't treat us like humans at all. I don't know if it was the right choice to align with them!"
"Sigh! What can we do? We have to align with someone, otherwise, our fate will be even worse!" Tang Zhiyang said with a helpless expression.
It turned out that the person from earlier was from a force that both Tang Zhiyang and Zhao Yanxuan's families had chosen to align with, named the Tianyang Sect.
This Tianyang Sect was said to be incredibly powerful and was about to emerge. They wanted the Tang and Zhao families to quickly control the economic lifeline of the southeastern province to prepare for their sect's emergence.
This was the reason for the scene in the hotel just now...
On the other side, Ye Feng's Poseidon Company also saw a significant surge in its stock price due to the explosive success of the Seven Islands project, breaking through ten billion and becoming the only ten-billion-dollar company in the small city of Dongchuan.
Also benefiting were the Zhou family company, where Zhou Lingyu belonged, the Xiao family company, where Xiao Feifei belonged, and other companies that had cooperated with Poseidon Company.
It could be said that all companies and enterprises that participated in the Seven Islands project and cooperated with Poseidon Company had benefited greatly.
For a time, Poseidon Company's reputation was unmatched.
That evening, Ye Feng gathered many people at Poseidon Company to celebrate the great success of their Seven Islands project.
Among them were Xiao Feifei, Zhou Lingyu, Lin Qingyue, Shangguan Lin'er, Chen Xiaoyue, as well as the senior management of Poseidon Company and many project managers of the Seven Islands project.
Xiao Feifei, needless to say, was Ye Feng's official girlfriend, the mistress of the Dragon King Hall, and the first person to know Ye Feng.
Her help was instrumental in Ye Feng's transformation from a penniless college student to the owner of a ten-billion-dollar company, and no one could compare to her.
Next, Zhou Lingyu, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, had many collaborations with Poseidon Company.
Moreover, in this Seven Islands project, she had made significant contributions. When Ye Feng was in seclusion, she was basically in charge, so her contribution was immense.
Then there was Lin Qingyue, who was originally just a moderately famous internet celebrity for sea fishing and foraging. After being saved by Ye Feng, she became the spokesperson and live-streamer for Poseidon Company's products.
Later, with Ye Feng's help, her fan base and popularity soared, directly securing her position as the top outdoor influencer. Her fan count had now reached an astonishing eighty million, and it was believed that exceeding one hundred million would not be long.
Her contribution was indispensable to the continuous best-selling and high demand for Poseidon Company's products online.
Also, Shangguan Lin'er, the hottest female singer in China.
The success of the Seven Islands project was undoubtedly due to the massive traffic she brought.
Her endorsement also elevated the project's status by several notches, leading to such astonishing results.
Finally, there was Chen Xiaoyue, arguably one of the earliest core members to follow Ye Feng. They were high school classmates, and Ye Feng recruited her when he started his company.
Her contributions to Poseidon Company were undeniable, as it was essentially managed by her, even though it was Ye Feng's company.
Ye Feng was merely a hands-off boss who issued orders.
It could be said that these individuals were Ye Feng's right-hand men and women, the contributors to his becoming a ten-billion-dollar boss.
That night, everyone celebrated for a long time, filled with joy.
However, they were unaware that as they rejoiced, danger was quietly approaching.
At this moment, outside Poseidon Company, many men in black were rapidly flying in from afar.
Each of these men in black possessed an incredibly powerful aura and moved at astonishing speeds, weaving through buildings as if entering a no-man's-land.
Finally, they all converged about a hundred meters outside Poseidon Company, numbering twenty to thirty in total.
If Ye Feng had witnessed this scene, he would have been greatly shocked because the weakest among them were in the Innate realm, and the strongest had reached the Grandmaster level.
However, as soon as these people gathered, they were detected by a figure inside Poseidon Company.
The next second, that figure disappeared from his original spot and reappeared at the celebration venue.
He was seen hurrying towards the interior, his expression somewhat tense.
His appearance caused confusion among those present, as they had never seen him before.
However, they paid him no mind, assuming he was just a company employee.
Only Ye Feng, upon seeing him, froze for a moment and then frowned.
Because this person was none other than Senior Cang Long, whom Ye Feng had brought back from the Misty Sea.
Since the incident where Xiao Feifei was kidnapped, Ye Feng had asked him to stay by his side, so he would have a helper in case of unexpected situations.
Under normal circumstances, Senior Cang Long would remain hidden, protecting Ye Feng's safety, and would never actively reveal himself.
Now, for him to appear voluntarily and with such a tense demeanor, hurrying in, there could only be one possibility: he might have discovered something critical.
He approached Ye Feng and whispered something in his ear.
Upon hearing the content, Ye Feng's expression immediately turned extremely serious...
