Chapter 987 - A Proposal

Chapter 987 - A Proposal
When Yuan activated Dragon's Gaze, the atmosphere in the room changed, and almost as though the temperature dropped to below freezing, the people in the room began trembling nonstop.
"Yo-You! Wha-What do you think you are doing?!" Yu Yong spoke in a trembling voice.
Even though Yuan used Dragon's Gaze, he didn't want these people to stop functioning, so he used the lowest output possible, but even then, most of these people could barely think under the pressure of the gaze.
"I will say this again… The two of you are a disgrace as parents. When you look at people, you don't see a human, you only see a tool— a tool that you can abuse for profit. People like you are better off dead." Yuan spoke in a calm voice.
"However, even if you are the scummiest people on earth, you are still Yu Rou's parents by blood. I would love to kill you, but I do not have the resolve to kill her parents."
"With that being said, that does not mean I am going to let you go without any punishment."
"Hahaha! Did you just say that you want to kill us?! You must be out of your damn mind! It appears that you have recovered your ability to move but lost your ability to think in the process! You will not get away with threatening us! We'll have you prosecuted!" Tang Lee pointed her fingers at him and roared.
But despite her brave words, her eyes were filled with fear, and her arm couldn't stop shaking.
"You're going to prosecute me for threatening you when you've done the same thing just moments ago? Are you listening to yourself, you damn crazy bitch?"
"W-What did you just call me?" Tang Lee's body shook violently after being cursed out by Yuan.
Meixiu and Meifeng stared at Yuan's nonchalant face with wide eyes and slightly opened mouths, seemingly in disbelief.
"Are you deaf as well? I called you a crazy bitch, since that's what you are." Yuan casually repeated.
"Guards! I want you to break his fingers!" Tang Lee shouted in a fury.
Two of the guards standing by the wall suddenly rushed at Yuan.
"Wai—!" Meifeng wanted to intervene, but Meixiu suddenly grabbed her hand.
"It's okay," she said in a calm voice.
Once the guards were close enough, they grabbed Yuan's arms and tried to restrict him.
However, they immediately realized that they were unable to move him.
"Get your hands off me." Yuan casually flicked his arms, sending the two guards flying.
The guards struck the wall with their bodies, creating a large crater in the wall before falling to the floor unconscious.
"That was self-defense." Yuan calmly said afterward without moving from his seat.
"Y-You…" The entire room fell silent after they witnessed what Yuan had just done.
'They were both Spirit Warriors! How did he beat them so easily?! What is his cultivation?!' Yu Yong cried inwardly.
"G-Guar—"
"Don't even bother trying to send more guards. You're just going to waste money on their treatment fees later— my money." Yuan interrupted Tang Lee.
"W-What are you talking about?" Tang Lee frowned.
"Let's get to the real reason why I came back today," he said with a smile.
"I'm here to get back everything that was taken from me, and that includes all of the money that I have earned throughout the years."
"Hahaha! You're truly out of your damn mind! As if we'd agree to your nonsense!" Tang Lee laughed out loud.
"I'm not asking. I'm demanding for my money back." Yuan increased the intensity of his Dragon's Gaze.
Tang Lee fell back to her chair the next moment from the intense pressure.
"Y-You're asking for the impossible, Yu Tian. Don't forget about your contract. The Yu Family doesn't owe you anything. In fact, you owe them money for being unable to work, which was part of you—"
Yuan looked at the person who just spoke and narrowed his eyes, "Can you shut up about the contract already? As if I give a damn about a piece of paper that you all forged. You can try to sue me if you want, but you might not be alive to do that."
"I might not be able to kill Yu Rou's parents, but you idiots are different. I can kill you right here and nobody will utter a single word about it."
"Hahaha! You have played too many video games! Do you really think you can get away with murder?! This is not Cultivation Online!" The man laughed out loud.
"Ahaha—Ahhhh!" The man suddenly stopped laughing and began screaming when he felt a sharp pain in one of his legs.
When he looked down, he could see the cause of the pain— a dagger stabbing into his thighs.
"W-What just happened?! Where did this weapon come from?!" The man was both terrified and confused.
"Mister Jiang, this is my first and last warning to you. If you don't want that dagger in your head, then you should keep your mouth shut. In fact, why don't you just abandon the Yu Family?"
Yuan suddenly thought of something and smiled.
"This may be sudden, but I have a proposal for everyone here. Stop supporting the Yu Family or die." Yuan swept the room with his gaze.
"What?!" They all exclaimed.
"After all, the real backbone of the Yu Family are the investors. Without you guys, they're basically powerless."
Everyone present in the room were the Yu Family's biggest investors and donors. Without them, the Yu Family will immediately lose over 90 percent of their power.
Furthermore, since he couldn't kill Yu Rou's parents, he had to punish them using other methods, and this is just one of many that he has in mind.
"You're fucking insane! As if we'd listen to you! You're just a damn child with a few loose screws!"
"I see… If threatening to kill you is not enough to convince you, then allow me to give you another reason to abandon the Yu Family." A mysterious smile appeared on Yuan's face.
And he continued, "Player Yuan, I'm sure you've all heard of him."
"What if I tell you that I personally know him and that I can set up a meeting with him for all of you? Will you stop supporting the Yu Family then? I'm sure you'll be able to profit more from Player Yuan than from the Yu Family."
