Ye Tian sneered, "A truce? Only if they all die."
Ren Ping was silent for a few seconds. "Wu Xingzu can die, Yuan Zhen can die, but the remaining three are too deeply involved."
Ye Tian: "So you're advising me to stop?"
Ren Ping: "Not advising, reminding. This world is very realistic. You have enough deterrence now, and the intensity is just right. If you push a little further, their fear will turn into the strength to resist you. But if you retreat a little, they won't be as afraid."
Ye Tian crushed the cigarette in his hand. "Those who want to harm me will have to pay a price."
Ren Ping: "That person will step down to a second line tomorrow. That immortal master will also go into seclusion for five years. As for Chen Wansan, from now on, he is your dog. If you tell him to eat shit, he won't hesitate in the slightest."
As he spoke, he handed Ye Tian a mobile phone with a group chat on it. Ye Tian glanced at it; there were hundreds of people in the group.
Ren Ping smiled. "Do you remember what I said? If you defeat them, a group of people will follow you. From now on, you will be our leader."
Ye Tian: "So, you are one of them?"
Ren Ping nodded. "To be honest, the combined strength of people like us actually surpasses that of Chen Wansan's group. We've just always lacked a leader. In the past, we've had leaders like this, but they either died or went mad. Now, you have the strength to take this position."
Ye Tian asked, "Does your organization have a name?"
Ren Ping: "We call it 'Tian Meng,' aligning with the will of heaven, uniting and making covenants."
Ye Tian: "My leadership as the leader might not be without its flaws."
Ren Ping: "You will meet them in the future."
Ye Tian: "What is the goal of Tian Meng?"
Ren Ping: "Essentially, it's to huddle together for warmth and protect ourselves first. If we gain the capability, we will then protect more people. And you, as the leader, can issue commands to them."
Ye Tian: "Will this group of people willingly obey me?"
Ren Ping: "You are strong enough, it's that simple. Besides, allowing Tian Meng to exist is also one of the results of their concessions."
Ye Tian: "What about Mu Tianlin?"
Ren Ping: "Mu Tianlin is missing. The organizations he controlled will be merged with mine this week."
Ye Tian: "Old Ren, you've gained quite a bit this time."
Ren Ping smiled. "Doesn't my greater power allow me to help you more?"
Ye Tian considered for a few seconds and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll let them off the hook for now."
Ren Ping smiled. "I knew you were smart and didn't need me to persuade you."
Ye Tian stretched. "That old scoundrel Yuan Zhen, at the peak of near-immortal, I didn't expect him to be so strong."
Ren Ping: "There are always people better than you. My asking you to stop was also out of fear of alarming those old monsters."
Ye Tian frowned. "You mean, they can still invite stronger individuals like Yuan Zhen to deal with me?"
Ren Ping: "Even older fossils who are stronger than Yuan Zhen."
Ye Tian sneered. "If I'm pushed too far, can't I kill Yuan Zhen just the same?"
Ren Ping: "That's why they fear you. Even old fossils won't easily provoke you unless you threaten them."
Ye Tian: "Forget it, this matter is concluded. Once my cultivation is complete, I'll go and visit those old fossils!"
Ren Ping laughed heartily. "That's a possibility!"
Two hours later, Ren Ping took his leave. Soon after, Huang Yanran arrived. Her eyes were shining, and upon seeing him, she asked, "Did you really kill those few tycoons?"
Ye Tian: "So what if I did?"
Huang Yanran gave him a thumbs-up. "Awesome!"
Ye Tian: "No need for flattery. Why did you come here so suddenly?"
Huang Yanran: "I knew about the bloody events last night and wanted to see if you were safe. Also, the Tu family's assets have been sorted out, and there isn't much left. I need to show you the account books."
According to their agreement, a portion of the Tu family's industries would belong to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian: "No need to look. Just convert it to cash for me."
Huang Yanran smiled. "Alright, thank you for trusting me."
Ye Tian: "Arrange a plane. I need to go back today."
Huang Yanran: "Won't you stay a few more days?"
Ye Tian: "I have other matters to attend to. I can't stay."
Huang Yanran: "Okay, I'll prepare it immediately."
Half an hour later, Ye Tian boarded a plane and returned to Hai City.
Upon returning to Hai City, it was mealtime. Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi went to the Lin family for dinner.
Zhu Yuting had prepared a table full of dishes, and Lin Ni was also present.
During the meal, Ye Tian checked the company's legal representative and shareholders and found that the names had been changed back to his and Lin Ziyi's.
Shortly after, a call came from Chen Wansan. On the phone, Chen Wansan pleaded, "Mr. Ye, can you spare me? I am willing to pay any price!"
Ye Tian said indifferently, "I can spare you. From now on, you are my dog. Whatever I tell you to do, you will obey obediently."
"Woof woof..." Chen Wansan actually began to bark like a dog, and he did it quite convincingly.
