Chapter 362: Chapter 386: To hell with it!

Sun Yang also lowered his voice and quickly said, "This lady is a big deal; she’s the manager of this skyscraper, just like being the head honcho. In this building, she’s the absolute boss; everyone has to listen to her."

Fang Yi was startled, "That powerful?"

Sun Yang said, "No kidding, they say she’s related to the Dragon King."

Fang Yi got it and said, "So, she got in through the back door..."

Sun Yang quickly said, "Mr. Fang, don’t talk like that; if she hears you, it’s going to be bad. Someone once slipped up and guess what happened."

Fang Yi, now ablaze with the fire of gossip, asked, "What happened?"

Sun Yang recalled the incident, took a cold breath, and said, "What else? She beat him up badly and then kicked him straight out of the Dragon Team, never to be employed again."

Fang Yi said, "Didn’t anyone object?"

Sun Yang said, "Yes, there was an elder who pleaded for the guy, and the matter even reached the Dragon King; but with just one command from the Dragon King, not only was the person who bad-mouthed behind others kicked out, but that elder, I heard, also faced criticism."

"Impressive!"

Fang Yi looked at the solemn and slender figure ahead, and couldn’t help but think to himself that when it came to backers, this woman was tougher than anyone.

Following Ning Nan, they arrived in front of an office. Sun Yang then bid farewell to Fang Yi; his job was done.

"Alright, thank you for your help today," Fang Yi said with a smile.

"It’s me who should be thanking you," Sun Yang said meaningfully. He hadn’t expected Fang Yi to stand up for him without fear of offending people like Zhou Haotian, and in the Dragon Team, Sun Yang had never met someone so unafraid of consequences, which made him feel both grateful and emotional towards Fang Yi.

Meanwhile, Ning Nan knocked on the office door, and upon hearing a voice from inside, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. Fang Yi also entered right after her.

To Fang Yi’s surprise, Wu Boqing was also there.

"Old Wu," Fang Yi greeted with a smile.

"You’re here," Wu Boqing gestured, "Regarding your merits, we’ve basically come to a conclusion."

However, Fang Yi felt somewhat uneasy because Wu Boqing’s tone wasn’t very affirmative. Fang Yi’s gaze shifted, looking around the office, where several other elderly figures were also present, apparently Dragon Team elders like Wu Boqing.

Seeing that Fang Yi noticed the other elders, Wu Boqing’s expression became slightly embarrassed. He was here at the request of Liu Duanguang, and he had to handle this matter neatly, but he had encountered some resistance beforehand.

"Ahem." At that moment, one of the elders started coughing, covering his mouth exaggeratedly but with a perfunctory air.

The elder opened the discussion with this cough and, looking at Fang Yi, said, "State your name."

Fang Yi replied with neither servility nor overbearing arrogance, "Fang Yi."

"Rank," demanded the elder.

Fang Yi’s eyes flashed as he said, "Jiaolong Guard."

The elder chuckled and said, "We have discussed your reward for your merits. We plan to award you five hundred thousand, hoping you will continue to work hard in the Dragon Team and strive to make more contributions."

After speaking, the elder stood up, hands clasped behind his back, ready to leave.

"Heh heh."

But at that moment, such a sound echoed in the room.

The elder stopped abruptly and looked sharply at Fang Yi, detecting the mocking tone in those two syllables.

The elder slightly squinted his eyes and said, "Are you dissatisfied?"

The other elders also looked at Fang Yi, some with silent smiles, some with disdain, and some with mockery, looking just like a group of old foxes trying to stress out Fang Yi.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense, like a drawn sword on the verge of clashing, and the room fell into a cold silence.

Wu Boqing couldn’t help but wryly smile, wanting to advise Fang Yi, but seeing the cold smirk on Fang Yi’s face, he immediately knew that this young man wouldn’t let it go easily.

And Ning Nan, who had been silent in the corner of the office, revealed a trace of mild surprise in his eyes before saying coolly, "No fighting allowed."

"Though the elders are detestable, I’m not the type to bully the weak," Fang Yi said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, the elders, with their authoritative demeanors, gaped at Fang Yi, their eyes bulging, because his words were simply too provocative.

Fang Yi didn’t care about their expressions and instead focused on the elder who had spoken earlier, who seemed to be their leader.

"May I ask your honorable surname?" Fang Yi said, without the slightest respect for the elderly, and for such elders, Fang Yi felt no need to show any.

"Hmph! Kid, you have no respect for your elders! I am an elder of the Dragon Team, and you, a lowly member of the Jiaolong Guards, speak to me with such tone, this is greatly disrespectful!" the elder said with a heavy and forceful tone.

Fang Yi’s expression remained unchanged as he continued calmly, "I asked you... your honorable surname!"

In terms of presence, Fang Yi was not inferior, treating the elder before him as if he was nothing more than a monkey.

The elder snorted coldly and said, "Qian Duajin!"

Fang Yi replied calmly, "Quite an imposing name, yet the person doesn’t live up to it, and today I have finally seen it for myself."

Qian Duajin’s eyebrows twitched, and then another elder stood up, pointing at Fang Yi and shouting, "As an elder of the Dragon Team, you should respect the seniors of the Dragon Team!"

Fang Yi said with disdain, "But with the way you handle things, favoring the private over justice, I find it very hard to respect you."

There was a sudden chilled silence in the office!

Coming from Fang Yi’s mouth, the words ’favoring the private over justice’ struck with force, like thunder in everyone’s ears, and Ning Nan, standing in the corner, once again showed a look of astonishment.

And Wu Boqing was truly frightened; he had never imagined that Fang Yi would be so bold as to expose such dark secrets!

The elders of the Dragon Team had fought the world with the Dragon King and were ’brothers’ to the Dragon King. They had earned certain entitlements and privileges. Normally the Dragon King turned a blind eye.

Later on, as the Dragon Team grew stronger, some elders, though old, were not modest in their appetites; some acts they committed were indeed excessive, yet the Dragon King still didn’t interfere.

For the elders like Wu Boqing, there was a tacit understanding; no one wanted to lose face, so they didn’t pierce through this layer of pretense, but who would have expected Fang Yi to break it!

The words ’favoring the private over justice’ could not be taken lightly.

Qian Duajin and the other elders, all furious at once, with an elder demanding, "You reckless brat, I can have you kicked out of the Dragon Team immediately!"

"You are a bane within the Dragon Team, we must remove you!"

"If you admit your mistake now and say you were wrong, there is still a chance to make amends."

Looking at these agitated old fellows, Fang Yi opened his mouth and revealed a mocking smile.

"It seems I’ve hit a nerve..." Fang Yi sneered and said, "I don’t care about your secrets; I just want to reclaim my rightful merits. I captured two ’Angels’ from the God of Killers Organization, and the bounty for these two on the outside wanted lists is at least several million in cash! Yet you only gave me five hundred thousand, and that too in Xuan Cang currency. I just want to say, to hell with you!"
