In the blink of an eye, it's been three days.

During these three days, the death of Second Master Li continued to ferment, shocking both the Earth Ranking and Heaven Ranking. All those Human Body Limit experts were astounded, paying great attention to the existence capable of killing Second Master Li.

For a moment, Ye Fan's name spread throughout Huaxia with unimaginable speed, reaching even wider parts of Asia. Everyone who heard this news was shocked and impressed.

"Second Master Li is dead, killed by someone named Ye Fan."

"Who is Ye Fan?"

"When did Huaxia produce such a figure?"

"To single-handedly kill Second Master Li, this level of strength is truly astonishing."

"Investigate, we must find out Ye Fan's identity."

Leaders from various factions, upon hearing the news of Second Master Li's death, could no longer remain calm. It was too significant, enough to determine the reassignment of business territories and reshuffle positions in the commercial world. With Second Master Li gone, the overseas business battlefield of the five major families lost its protector. If someone could annex them, it would mean substantial profits.

The two most pressing issues for everyone, aside from dispatching numerous secret lines to investigate Ye Fan's identity, involved coveting the businesses of the five major families outside Huaxia. For forces possessing Human Body Limit experts, these were necessary actions.

Confronted with immense interests, they couldn't resist being tempted.

Wanpu Company, a Japanese multinational corporation closely tied to the Li Family in business, seized the family's overseas business territories almost forcibly, like flies attracted to the smell of a latrine.

"First it was Okamura Jiro, then Matsui Yuki and Matsui Kemono, and this murderer Ye Fan must die. Even if he has gained prestige by killing Second Master Li, in front of Wanpu Company, he is still insignificant and must perish." The Wanpu Company executives harbored unabated killing intent towards Ye Fan.

The business battlegrounds of the five major families outside Huaxia quickly fell; no one could halt this trend.

The ones annexing the businesses of the five major families were often their close business partners. At this time, with Second Master Li dead, they became brazen and reckless.

This demonstrates that although Second Master Li was based in Huaxia, his might radiated overseas, intimidating many.

The death of Second Master Li represented the decline of the five major families, an unalterable fact.

The five major families were shrouded in a thick cloud of gloom. They found themselves powerless over their losses on the overseas battlefield, especially regarding their business partners' actions, feeling helpless even as they accepted this harsh reality they wished to deny.

The silver lining was that their domestic business territories remained rock-solid under their control.

On this day, Zhang Lu led the pilots of the five major families to visit Ye Fan and Mengyao.

Li Chenggui, Huang Jingwei, and Chen Tiande appeared aged over ten years, emanating an aura of disappointment.

Following Zheng Guodong's death, the Zheng Family fell under Zheng Zhonghai's complete control. Zheng Zhonghai didn't exactly hate Ye Fan; accounting for Zheng Guodong's death, he and Ye Fan shared deep enmity. Yet, Zheng Zhonghai was indifferent to Zheng Guodong's life or death. In front of Ye Fan, he wasn't qualified to harbor hostility, accurately positioning himself with gratitude towards Ye Fan. For if Ye Fan had not killed Zheng Guodong, he wouldn't hold his current position and status.

Ma Qianqiu also felt thankful because if the Chu Group hadn't triumphed, under Second Master Li's hand, the Ma Family would have faced certain doom. Although the Ma Family became a vassal of the Chu Group, it was far better than annihilation.

The former commercial giants, once commanding the respective industries, beside the deceased Zheng Guodong, Ma Qianqiu had acknowledged the Ma Family's vassal status, and Li Chenggui and the other three harbored mixed feelings of hatred and fear towards Ye Fan.

"Mr. Ye, President Chu." Upon meeting Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao, the five greeted respectfully.

Zheng Zhonghai and Ma Qianqiu's respect came wholeheartedly.

Li Chenggui and the other three felt bitter but dared not exhibit the slightest transgression; they forced themselves to smile, painfully aware of their insignificance in Ye Fan's eyes, akin to ants. Holding enmity wouldn't matter, as Ye Fan overlooked them entirely. Even they themselves didn't dare harbor hostility, wishing to survive rather than perish.

If they dared to threaten Ye Fan, they knew he'd ensure their demise by dusk.

"I brought these people to fulfill the already signed agreement. According to the agreement before Second Master Li's duel, Li Chenggui and others would transfer their family businesses under the Chu Group's command. Whether they leave empty-handed or retain some business status to become vassals of the Chu Group depends on your decision." Zhang Lu stated formally.

"Let's sit down and discuss further." Mengyao beckoned Zhang Lu.

Ye Fan and Mengyao showed kindness towards Zhang Lu and indifference to Li Chenggui and the others, barely glancing at them before disregarding them.

Li Chenggui and the others dutifully followed Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Zhang Lu.

Ye Fan and the other two took their seats, whereas Li Chenggui and the others stood rigidly, not daring to sit.

These former commercial leaders, once immensely powerful, couldn't even sit without permission in front of Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao, abiding strictly.

Zhang Lu found it amusing, observing the five's current pathetic state, vastly different from their past glory.

"Serves them right." Zhang Lu muttered these two words at Li Chenggui and the others as evaluation; the once arrogant and rampant five major families now faced this outcome as retribution.

"Have a seat." Chu Mengyao remarked at their obedient conduct, feeling quite a pang of emotion, offering kind words. Otherwise, based on their animosity and ruthless strategies against the Chu Group, there's no way she'd show kindness to Li Chenggui and the others.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, President Chu." The five chuckled awkwardly, taking a seat while seeking Ye Fan's approval with their gaze.

"Sit. I'm not interested in killing you, so don't bother trying to curry favor; it's useless." Ye Fan said indifferently.

"Yes, Mr. Ye." The five laughed bitterly and took their seats.

Meanwhile, a feeble elder entered Mengyao's villa, evading Han Bihong's gaze with ease, effortlessly unlocking the villa's electronic lock and entering.
