Chapter 1660: Chapter 1694: Huo Zhengfeng’s Fierce Battle with Shangguan Yu

”Chairman, in my opinion, we might as well spend some money to directly bribe those executives at Huayu Group. This way, not only can we fully understand everything happening inside Huayu Group, but we also gain complete control over the situation there.”

”No way! You should know that all those top executives at Huayu Group came from Zhonghai. As far as I know, those executives were all transformed from high-level positions at Tianyu Group. If they wanted money, they would have left Huayu Group long ago,” someone said.

”Then what should we do? Are we supposed to keep spending huge amounts of money to make those internet giants ban their promotional ads together? How much money would we need for that? In the end, it’s still those big platforms that would profit the most. You know, these platform giants are just eager for us to get into this monopoly war; they wouldn’t mind if we exhaust ourselves.

”Moreover, that film from Huayu Group did bring substantial profits, not only gaining fame and fortune but also making two major next-generation superstar groups popular. Even if they don’t do any promotion, the film’s impact might still not be that bad...”

At this moment, the meeting room fell into silence once more; this was already their eighth round of debate.

If they couldn’t control the release of the new Huayu Group film within a very short time, it would have a huge impact on their film group.

By then, the more popular Huayu Group becomes, most of these film groups will probably collapse. All the stars will go to Huayu Group to sign up and join them.

However, the more they argued, the less they came up with.

”Heh, just a Huayu Group that arrived in Yanjing for less than half a month, and yet we’ve turned the entire Shangguan Group, which has been in Yanjing for many years, upside down. It seems you all usually live quite comfortably. When trouble comes, not even one capable person stands out. What does the Shangguan Group need you for then!”

Bam!

Shangguan Yu slapped his hand heavily on the table, furious. He knew it was because the Shangguan Group lived too comfortably in Yanjing, with not a single competitor. Now that a competitor had come, they were screwed. Like a bunch of cowards, they were arguing internally over a trivial issue.

That one rebuke left the meeting room full of smoke, and no one dared to speak.

However...

Danger was also approaching step by step, just as Shangguan Yu’s mind was about to explode with worry.

Right at the main entrance of the Shangguan Group, Huo Zhengfeng was already engaged in a fierce battle with the guards inside the Shangguan Group!

”Bang bang bang~”

The sound of gunfire erupted, and almost simultaneously, inside the meeting room, Shangguan Yu stood up with a swoosh.

”What’s going on!”

He quickly opened the tablet in his hand, which he used to monitor all the key positions within the Shangguan Group. If any accident happened at the Shangguan Group, he could have it all under control.

However, there was one thing he missed. Just as Shangguan Yu stood up, there were unknown numbers of experts crouching on the outer walls of the building.

”Bang~”

The meeting room’s bulletproof glass was suddenly shattered by someone with a pistol, and then. Several men in black outfits jumped into the meeting room from the windows, each with a fierce look, wielding sharp weapons, targeting Shangguan Yu.

”What!”

Shangguan Yu was shocked and dismayed. He never expected that someone would dare to break into a meeting room this high up like they didn’t care for their lives!

”Ah~”

”Ah~ What’s happening? Get someone here quickly!”

”There are assassins! Get someone here quickly!”

All the senior executives in the meeting room were scared out of their wits, most looking like fat pigs who had once conquered the world alongside Shangguan Yu. But given how comfortably they had been living, they were now almost completely incapable of protecting Shangguan Yu’s safety in an emergency.

”Heh heh, so the Shangguan Group is just like this,” Black Hawk jumped in from outside, giving Shangguan Yu a sideways glance with sharp eyes, then smirked coldly. With a wave of his hand, all the Hidden Kill members immediately understood the meaning of his gesture.

”Pfft...”

One of the Hidden Kill members, grasping the intent, nearly with a mere flick of the hand decapitated a living head that rolled to the side.

”Pfft pfft pfft~”

Two other corpulent senior executives tried to pull out guns, but the Heartless War Blade sliced through the air, and two sprays of bright blood stained the walls.

”Damn it! How dare you wreak havoc in our Shangguan Group!”

At this moment, one stout man in a suit at the long table reacted quickly, showing great agility. He pulled out a handgun from his waist, aiming for Black Hawk’s head, ready for a headshot. However.

A Hidden Kill member reacted with lightning speed, and with a swipe, his arm trembled, sending a relentless blade slicing through the air. With a hiss, just as the stout man was about to pull the trigger, his neck was pierced through by the ruthless blade. He staggered back, clutching his neck, blood gushing like a fountain.

He soon collapsed, twitching twice before dying.

However, with a supremely calm mind, Shangguan Yu, without a second thought, sat back in his chair, pushed off with his legs, and the chair rolled backwards. Then he kicked the long table in front of him.

With a pop, the long table was flipped by great force, crashing towards Black Hawk. Taking the opportunity, Shangguan Yu didn’t think twice and quickly ran out of the meeting room.

”Chase!”

Black Hawk swung his blade fiercely, slicing the long table in half, the Sword Radiance formidable and unstoppable.

But as Shangguan Yu fled, just about to enter the elevator, the elevator doors opened gently to reveal an unfamiliar face. The man grinned at Shangguan Yu, raising his knife to attack. Shangguan Yu performed a spinning kick, knocking the Hidden Kill member to the ground, and then turned to run, not daring to take the elevator.

Now, the entire Shangguan Group was in chaos, since all the employees had gone home, and many of the guards had been sent home by Shangguan Yu earlier today.

Now he was almost cursing himself for letting them leave.

”Deng deng deng deng...”

In Shangguan Yu’s mind, there was only one thought left: he must stay alive.

However, dozens of fully armed men with deadly war blades chased after him relentlessly, and Shangguan Yu dared not pause for even a moment...

”Huayu Group! Huayu Group! Yes! It must be Huayu, it must be Huayu. I, Shangguan Yu, swear I will not let you have it easy.”

As he ran, Shangguan Yu quickly dialed his brother Shangguan Chong. Halfway through the call, he had also reached the fifth-floor stairwell.

But...

In his hasty run, Shangguan Yu’s foot slipped, immediately stopping his forward momentum.

He saw at the bottom of the stairwell, a man wearing a black mask holding a long knife, waving warmly at him... as if they were old acquaintances.

”May I know why you attacked my Shangguan Group in the night? Have I, Shangguan Yu, offended you in some way?” Shangguan Yu asked with a somber gaze, as he found himself at a dead end.
