My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 1139 - 1140: Boasting Conference

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1140: Boasting Conference

Elders from the Duanmu Clan had already gathered early in the estate in Chaoyang City.

One after another, representatives from various branches of the Duanmu family also arrived.

This was undoubtedly a massive family, especially as there had been frequent contact between the branches over the past fifty years.

Under the elders’ coordination, there was cooperation in business and other areas, which had allowed the Duanmu Clan to develop rapidly and produce four major aristocratic clans based on ’black gold.’

There were also ten ’gold’ aristocratic clans and so on.

Although none ranked among the top clans, it in no way affected the Duanmu Clan’s influence in Dragon Country or even overseas.

Xiao Chen and Yin Que had not yet arrived.

But perhaps no one in the Duanmu family in Chaoyang City hoped they would.

After all, whether Xiao Chen or Yin Que, they were both disgraces to the Duanmu family.

Approximately a thousand delegates attended this clan meeting, with over ten people from each family.

The four elders sat in the most prominent positions, symbolizing the peak of power within the Duanmu Clan.

Of course, if there were a Clan Leader, that position would undoubtedly be the foremost.

This session aimed to select a Clan Leader, as the four elders were getting old and no one knew when they might die.

The elders ceased their chatting, and one of them said, "Everyone should be here by now. Our Duanmu Clan has developed quite smoothly this year.

So, let’s start this clan meeting with an annual work summary.

Let’s begin with the Guangfu line."

At that moment, Duanmu Liang sat there, utterly unable to stand as both his legs were broken, which was incredibly embarrassing.

"Duanmu Liang, what happened to your legs?"

The elders asked.

The skin on Duanmu Liang’s face twitched, and he said with great grievance, "It’s all because of that outcast from the Duanmu family in Chaoyang City. He had his men break my legs. I must avenge this insult, and I implore you elders to seek justice for me."

What!

Hearing this, the crowd was greatly shocked.

Duanmu Liang’s legs had been chopped off by that outcast.

Such audacity; was this a challenge to the entire Duanmu Clan?

"Duanmu Lin, how do you explain this?"

The senior elder asked coldly.

"Elders, that wretched man has nothing to do with us. He claims to be my son, but I have never had such a son."

Duanmu Lin hurriedly responded.

"Exactly, that worthless man has tried every means to associate with our family. Despite all my efforts, I cannot shake him off.

His wife is the chairwoman of Xinmeng Group, and she’s quite capable, recently putting a lot of pressure on us."

Duanmu Chang sighed as well.

"Arrogant! Where is he?"

The second elder asked.

"He hasn’t come, probably out of fear. After all, with so many of us from the Duanmu Clan gathered here, he must be scared."

Duanmu Lin said.

"Hmph, let’s continue the clan meeting then. After the meeting, we’ll settle the score with that kid, and sooner or later, we’ll destroy Xinmeng Group as well."

The senior elder snorted coldly.

Then, he looked at Duanmu Liang, "You needn’t worry about your legs being broken. If your Guangfu line performs excellently, the position of Clan Leader will still be yours!"

"Thank you, elders!"

Duanmu Liang was moved, "This past year, many things have happened in our Guangfu line. In Guangfu Prefecture, our company has risen to be on par with Guangfu Prefecture Group, among the very best.

Additionally, as the Family Head of the Guangfu line, I’ve achieved some minor success and currently hold the second highest position – not something particularly notable.

But if my legs hadn’t been broken, next year I would definitely be the head.

It’s infuriating.

It’s all Xiao Chen’s fault!"

But that’s okay, my son is also very promising. Now at only thirty years old, he already serves as the deputy in Guangcheng and is bound to take the lead sooner or later.

My brother holds a high position in the Yama Hall of Guangfu Prefecture.

Here are the achievements of our Guangfu Prefecture Lineage this past year, which may not be enough to be acclaimed by everyone, but we have indeed done our best, making the Duanmu Family become the top Aristocratic Clan in Guangfu Prefecture."

Hearing these words from Duanmu Liang, everyone couldn’t help but sigh. Truly, the Duanmu Clan is one of the four major families, and this Guangfu Prefecture Lineage is genuinely formidable.

"Yes, compared to last year, your Guangfu Prefecture Lineage performed better. Now, let the Capital Prefecture Lineage share their achievements."

The four elders looked at Duanmu Lin.

This year’s selection for Clan Leader was among Guangfu Prefecture, Capital Prefecture, Tai Fu, and Hong Kong.

However, Tai Fu and Hong Kong are obviously stronger economically, while the others lag far behind.

Duanmu Lin spoke indifferently, "The Duanmu Family of Capital Prefecture has performed disappointingly, unable to match the Guangfu Prefecture Lineage.

Economically, the Duanmu Group cannot compete with the Empire Group or Menghua Corporation, barely ranking eighteenth nationwide.

On other aspects, as the Family Head, I can’t compare to Brother Liang; I’m just a deputy in Chaoyang City.

My younger brother is merely a secretary working in the Capital, which really isn’t much.

Of course, the best performer is my third brother, Duanmu Zhuo, who just received notice that he has been transferred from the Zhili Prefecture Headquarters to the Dragon Country Headquarters, becoming an adviser to the King Yama War God."

This wasn’t him boasting, as this news had been deliberately released by the King of Reincarnation.

Wanting to see the Duanmu Family of Chaoyang City fall harder, they first need to lift him up high.

"That’s impossible!"

Duanmu Liang said, "I know very well that your Duanmu Zhuo merely leveraged his wife’s family connections to enter the Yama Division at the Zhili Prefecture Headquarters.

He became a squadron leader.

And it’s even a ceremonial position."

He was unwilling to acknowledge it because being an adviser under the King Yama War God would undoubtedly crush the Guangfu Prefecture Lineage.

"Hehe, believe it or not, today Zhuo will come back, and then you can ask him," Duanmu Chang said with a smile.

Seeing how composed Duanmu Chang was, everyone believed him.

Duanmu Liang’s face turned extremely sour, and everyone else kept sighing.

Becoming an adviser to the King Yama War God was simply too impressive.

"Duanmu Chang, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue with such big talk? Don’t you know your son Duanmu Zhuo’s character?"

Just then, laughter came from outside the door.

Xiao Chen had arrived!

Yin Que had arrived!

Accompanied by Ghost Blade and Black.

Just as Duanmu Liang said, this Duanmu Zhuo had entered the Yama Hall by using his wife’s family connections.

The King of Reincarnation, having no choice, gave him a nominal position.

Just idling his days away.

After all, the Yama Hall doesn’t need such profligate sons.

For this, Xiao Chen had even reprimanded the King of Reincarnation.

How could the Yama Hall serve the people and uphold justice if it’s infiltrated by such worms?

That would turn into a joke.

"You!"

Seeing it was Xiao Chen, Duanmu Chang was so angry he nearly spat blood.

He thought this guy, out of fear, wouldn’t show up, but there he was, creating problems at this moment.

He was really trying to doom their Chaoyang City Duanmu Family.

"Is this what the annual Duanmu Clan boasting conference looks like?"

Xiao Chen wasn’t just targeting the Chaoyang City Duanmu Family; he brought the entire Duanmu Clan into it.

Before attending the clan meeting, he had already investigated this Duanmu Clan; apart from the Hong Kong lineage focusing on economic development, the rest were nothing but opportunists, without a single good one among them.
