Novel Full Chapter 243 Suicide Apology
“Bracelet?”
Ma Wencai scrutinized Ye Fan’s bracelet in his hand, examining it up and down several times, and ultimately confirmed that the bracelet in Ye Fan’s hand was indeed Matsumoto’s.
Last night, the battle in Penglai Canyon targeted Great Xia’s Number One Valkyrie, Yu Linglong.
Yu Linglong was Ye Fan’s wife, and so it was only natural for Ye Fan to have stepped in to save Yu Linglong.
However, how was it that a force as powerful as the Black Clothes Society, along with support within the Xuanwu Region, had been completely annihilated?
And more importantly, why hadn’t anyone informed him of this news?
Ma Wencai frowned as he quickly pondered, and actually a daring idea had already formed in his mind.
Under such circumstances, there were only two possibilities: one was that Ye Fan was lying, but the bracelet in Young Master Ye’s hand would not lie. The other was that the higher-ups had already abandoned the Ma Family!
“Father, I just received news you should see…” Ma Wei said, his voice trembling as he turned on the TV in the living room, and the screen showed a press conference held by the Xuanwu Region.
“Last night, the Black Clothes Society ambushed our Great Xia Valkyrie in Penglai Canyon, but was spotted by Zhen Tianwang Ye Fan of the Xuanwu Region, who annihilated all members of the Black Clothes Society in one swoop, with Matsumoto and Elder Xiao Quan being slain by Zhen Tianwang… Therefore, the Xuanwu Region has decided to promote Ye Fan to the position of Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Region, making him the actual controller of the Xuanwu Region, representing the highest command authority of the Xuanwu Region. I, as the commander, will assist with the power transition and help manage affairs…”
“To supplement, five years ago, Ye Fan had already entered the Xuanwu Region and conducted numerous missions, establishing over a hundred military achievements and earning his strength-based title as Zhen Tianwang of the Xuanwu Region…” Stay updated through empire
On TV, Gu Feng, the commander of the Xuanwu Region, continued in detail about Ye Fan’s previous combat experiences.
And Ma Wencai’s head, at that moment, felt like it had exploded!
Zhen Tianwang of the Xuanwu Region!
Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Region, the actual person in control!
These titles, one after another, felt like the mighty Mount Tai, bearing down relentlessly upon Ma Wencai.
Ye Fan had kept himself well hidden indeed!
It turns out that five years prior, when he was only fifteen years old, Ye Fan had already become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Xuanwu Region, which was absolutely among the highest echelons.
The Hundred Plays Tianlong Army was enough to keep people up at night!
And now, the control of the Southeastern Million Xuanwu Domain had been returned to Ye Fan once more, this… what’s the play here?
The Ma Family?
In front of the Ye Family, they amounted to nothing!
Even if the Ye Family had fallen, even if there was only Ye Fan left as a single scion… but Ye Fan already possessed at least the strength of the Martial Venerable Realm, not to mention he was the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Region, representing the Martial Arts Experts of the Southeastern Million Xuanwu Domain.
Who would dare to easily make a move against Ye Fan?
Who would dare to easily make a move against the Ye Family?
The laughable part was that he was still waiting for the successful news from the Black Clothes Society!
According to the messages from the Black Clothes Society, once their plan to attack Great Xia’s Valkyrie succeeded, it would have a massive impact on the Xuanwu Region, shaking its foundation and leading to unforeseen events.
And most crucially, Yu Linglong was the leader among the seven sisters-in-law of the Ye Family. If Yu Linglong were killed, the situation for the Ye Family would turn very grim indeed.
But now, with all the forces of the Black Clothes Society destroyed and Zhou Yao, the previous traitor within the Xuanwu Region, also done away with.
The key point is, Gu Feng attributed all the merits to Ye Fan alone, establishing an exceedingly powerful prestige for him within the Xuanwu Region. It would be difficult for Ye Fan not to control the Xuanwu Region.
Thump!
Ma Wencai staggered and collapsed onto the ground with a fallen behind.
The Ma Family was doomed!
He had ultimately chosen wrongly, and his very last opportunity had passed him by without his grasping it.
Ma Wencai was well aware of why Old Master Ye had come looking for him, but now it was too late for any regrets.
“Father, father… Are you okay? You mustn’t have anything happen to you…” Ma Wei’s face turned pale as he saw the news on TV.
The bigwigs above hadn’t even informed the Ma Family of the failure of the Penglai Canyon operation; they had clearly abandoned the Ma Family.
Although Ma Wei was a bit slow, even he realized what was happening at this moment!
“I am fine!” Ma Wencai touched the bullet head in his hand a few times, his eyes finally flashing with determination, “Ma Wei, do you know why I never let you participate in any of the Ma Family’s operational plans or the high-level core decisions?”
“Why?” Ma Wei had grievances before. Even though he was the legitimate eldest son of the Ma Family, his father had marginalized him over the past five years and kept him out of many affairs.
“Because I wanted to leave you a chance at life!”
After speaking, Ma Wencai struggled to stand up and bowed respectfully to Ye Fan, “Young Master Ye, I will comply with both demands you made just now!”
“Someone! Convey my order, abandon all competition related to the Qing Family’s projects, and cancel all actions suppressing them! Moreover, transfer all the resources we hold to Miss Qing!”
“Ah?” Ma Wencai’s assistant was initially confused, but upon considering the current situation, he quickly understood, “Alright, I’ll make arrangements immediately!”
“In addition, the second matter, all suppression against the Xia Family must cease immediately. If anyone from the Xia Family has been arrested, we will retract the case reports and fully support the Xia Family’s resumption of work!”
“Understood!”
Following the two orders, several assistants in the Ma Family hall began rapidly to relay Ma Wencai’s commands.
Worried that his subordinates might doubt his orders, Ma Wencai recorded a video for clarification.
“I am Ma Wencai, former Deputy Commander of the Tianlong Army and President of Ma Corporation, the head of the Ma Family! I hereby solemnly decide to transfer all the assets of Ma Corporation to the Ye Family. I hope everyone fully cooperates with the operation. All the officers of the Tianlong Army that I, Ma Wencai, have brought up, are to obey the commands of Ye Fan… Anyone daring to disobey is defying my orders…”
Cancel full suppression against the Qing and Xia Families!
Donate assets worth hundreds of billions from Ma Corporation!
Transfer the command authority of the officers in the Tianlong Army!
Decisions on three major issues were made within a matter of minutes.
Ma Wencai indeed had some courage, as Ye Fan stood by, quietly observing Ma Wencai’s actions.
“Xiao Fan, this…” Qing Ruolan didn’t understand many things and didn’t know why Ma Wencai, after just seeing a news report, was so fearful that he immediately gave up Ma Corporation and surrendered.
Even without the support of Black Clothes Society, the Ma Family still had capital to bounce back!
But Ma Wencai knew better. If Ye Fan could be the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Region, he must have other cards up his sleeve that had not been revealed. All his efforts were in vain!
“Young Master Ye, I, Ma Wencai, have wronged the Ye Family! With regard to the operations against Second Young Master Ye, I was also swayed by others. Even though I did not act directly, I was nonetheless involved! However, that operation was a decision made solely by me, Ma Wencai… Therefore, I, Ma Wencai, offer my life for a life… I only beg, Young Master Ye, for mercy on behalf of Ma’s earnest efforts, to leave a way out for the Ye Family…”
“Ma Wei, remember my words! Do not harbor any thoughts of revenge; everything is the consequence of our own doing!”
Ma Wencai bowed deeply to Ye Fan three times, and then, under the shocked gazes of Ma Wei and Qing Ruolan, he pulled out a dagger and slashed it across his throat…
