Chapter 331 Paying respects to that great person
"Continue talking? We can still negotiate?"
Hearing Young Master Justin's words, Xu Haoran's face stiffened.
So if they were not satisfied, the Chris Family could actually distribute a significant portion of their overseas profits to their Xu Family?
"Can we still negotiate?" At this moment, rushes of shock and confusion stormed through Xu Ruoxuan's heart.
She had already been disappointed in Ye Fan, but to her surprise, with the arrival of Young Master Justin, the entire situation took a dramatic turn.
Even though Xu Ruoxuan was among the world's most intelligent individuals, she found it hard to believe that a super world-class financial empire would make such a huge concession because of a dark ring.
Young Master Justin nodded solemnly, "Yes, Miss Xu! If Miss Xu is not satisfied with the proportion of overseas profits, we can continue to discuss. However, solely based on this ring, there's not much room for us to concede in our overseas profits. If the owner of this ring would meet with us, the Chris Family wouldn't mind giving up all overseas profits!"
"What? If Ye Fan comes out, you can give up all overseas profits?" Xu Haoran screamed, his voice surpassing a hundred and twenty decibels.
Xu Ruoxuan's expression changed, "Haoran, do not be disrespectful to Mr. Ye!"
"Oh, oh!" Xu Haoran quickly shut his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, after the Chris Family made such a huge concession, Xu Haoran realized that Ye Fan was not bragging but was truly awesome.
Thinking back to when Ye Fan took off the dark ring and how he scorned it, Xu Haoran was so embarrassed he wished he could crawl into a hole.
Being faced, it was indeed a slap in the face.
Being able to make a super world-class financial empire take a huge step back, Xu Haoran couldn't even begin to imagine the extraordinary status possessed by Ye Fan.
Upon hearing that they could give up all overseas profits, the negotiation officer Jack, who had been kicked to the ground by Justin, exclaimed in horror, "Young Master, who exactly is the owner of this ring? Why does our Chris Family need to make such a large concession? Even kings of major foreign countries are not worth such a big step back!"
"What do you know?"
Hearing this, Young Master Justin said with a look of reverence, "Have you forgotten the disaster our Chris Family faced a few years ago?"
"The disaster from a few years ago? Could this be a personal token from that personage?" Jack suddenly realized something.
Young Master Justin confirmed seriously, "Indeed! It is the personal token of that personage!"
"Oh my God!"
Having confirmed the origin of the dark ring, Jack cried out in amazement.
Jack was not a member of the Legitimate Line of the Chris Family, but his ancestors had worked for the Chris Family generation after generation. The Chris Family had always been generous to them. Growing up within the Chris Family, if not for their nurturing, there would be no Jack today.
Jack knew that the Chris Family had amassed their wealth through the spoils of war three hundred years ago.
However, ordinary people had no clue that the Chris Family had faced a near-existential disaster a few years back.
With over three hundred years of history, the Chris Family had always been united and presented a solid front to the outside world.
Yet now, as the status of the Chris Family had become consolidated and unshakable, its internal members were no longer as united as before.
A few years ago, when Justin's father inherited the position of Patriarch, the internal contradictions within the Legitimate Line of the Chris Family exploded.
At that time, the most likely candidate for the new patriarch from within the family lost, and in a rage, he defected from the Chris Family with a large number of Legitimate Line members. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
Out of revenge, this person insanely sold a huge amount of the Chris Family's secrets to their competitors, and upon receiving this information, numerous competitors immediately took action to contain the Chris Family.
In that half-year, the Chris Family's market valuation took a severe hit, and their position became precarious.
Left with no choice, the Chris Family struck back!
Upon seeing the Chris Family's counterattack, the three world-class financial empires jointly launched a war.
Jack remembered clearly, on that night, at least ten thousand Ancient Martial Artists were sent by the three world-class financial empires to attack the Chris Family, bringing about the darkest day in the family's history.
Although the Chris Family had a deep foundation, they were hard-pressed against the combined pressure of three world-class financial empires, and even their many masters struggled to cope.
After three hours of a bloody battle, legions of the Chris Family's Ancient Martial Artists lay dead on the spot!
In the early hours before dawn, the Chris Family's gates were breached, and countless Ancient Martial Artists flooded into the Chris Family's compound.
This group of Ancient Martial Artists looted at the sight of wealth and killed on encountering anyone. It was unknown how many of the Chris Family perished as a result.
Patriarch David led a counterattack, but it was futile. During the counteroffensive, several of David's children were killed in action, and even David's wife was mercilessly violated by a group of Ancient Martial Artists.
In the end, Patriarch David had no choice but to flee with his only surviving son, Justin.
As Patriarch David made his escape, many members of the Chris Family, now leaderless, had no choice but to flee in all directions.
The three world-class financial conglomerates pursued relentlessly, chasing father and son, David and Justin, to the banks of the Lanyin River. Just as the two believed they were destined to die, a youth from the Ancient Eastern Country suddenly came by.
The numerous Ancient Martial Artists assumed the youth was allied with David and Justin and launched a deadly attack on him.
At that moment, a shocking scene unfolded—the young man, alone and unaided, charged towards the many Ancient Martial Artists.
The youth was exceedingly brave, with combat power unmatched, slaying a vast number of Ancient Martial Artists with each blow.
The battle lasted less than ten minutes; no fewer than five hundred Ancient Martial Artists from the three world-class financial conglomerates died at the hands of the youth.
Patriarch David was immensely shocked and realized that the youth was extraordinary. He knelt on the ground and said if the youth could save the Chris Family from calamity, afterward, the entire Chris Family would honor the young man as their lord. It seemed as though the actions of the three world-class financial conglomerates had severely enraged the youth.
In the following three days, the three world-class financial conglomerates were successively annihilated, causing a massive upheaval in the world.
From that point on, all of the Chris Family's rivals had fallen, and without competition, the Chris Family rose swiftly in just a few years, their position unshakable ever again.
And all of this was thanks to that youth from the Ancient Eastern Country years ago.
If it weren't for that young man, the Chris Family would have been destroyed long ago.
The youth's origins were mysterious, and apart from Patriarch David and Young Master Justin, almost none of the Chris Family's high-ranking members had ever seen the young man's true face.
What Jack had never imagined was that this dark ring was actually the personal token of that youth from the Ancient Eastern Country.
"Jack, you nearly made a colossal blunder!" Justin sternly rebuked.
Jack paled and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master. I truly did not know that this was that person's personal token. I deserve to die; my crimes are unforgivable!"
"I will deal with your responsibility later!" Young Master Justin snorted coldly.
The next moment, Young Master Justin turned to Xu Ruoxuan and said, "Miss Xu, do we still need to discuss the overseas profits?"
"Not necessary! I'm already immensely grateful that you're willing to share the overseas profits with our Xu Family on a fifty-fifty basis," Xu Ruoxuan said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Justin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Xu, then let us have a pleasant cooperation!"
"A pleasant cooperation!" Xu Ruoxuan revealed a stunningly beautiful smile.
After shaking hands, Justin made a startling move.
Suddenly, under the watchful eyes of all, Justin performed a standard ninety-degree bow. He presented the dark ring to Xu Ruoxuan with a solemn face and said, "Please trouble Miss Xu to take this ring back."
"Alright!"
Xu Ruoxuan was startled, and she subconsciously took back the dark ring.
Then, Justin looked at Xu Ruoxuan with fervor and said, "Please convey our Chris Family's respects to that person on behalf of us. Please tell your friend that our Chris Family will forever be your most loyal servants!"
What!
The Chris Family, a super world-class financial conglomerate, will forever be Ye Fan's most loyal servants?
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Ruoxuan and her brother Xu Haoran were both visibly shocked. They stiffened and became petrified on the spot.
