Chapter 892: Alright, I'll see you off.
In the vast meeting room, the voice of Li Xuanyu resonated continuously in everyone's ears.
Everyone was taken aback.
Jin Zhonghui and the heads of the other five conglomerates showed signs of panic.
As for the heads of the other three conglomerates, they were full of terror and disbelief.
One of them asked Jin Zhonghui, "Chairman Jin, is what Chairman Li saying true? Are you... are you going to abandon our alliance and turn to the West?"
"The West had enslaved us for so many years, treating us like animals. Their soldiers trampled on our dignity on our own land. In the face of Japan's invasion, not only did they not help us, they allied with Japan. How can we still trust the West?"
"Yes, Chairman Jin, and everyone here, you must not trust the West any longer, do not be foolish."
The heads of the three uninformed conglomerates all spoke up.
They had closer ties with the Li Family, which is why Jin Zhonghui had not contacted these three this time. Brought to you by MV6LEMPY6R.
Jin Zhonghui and the six others knew they could only come clean if they could not walk away.
Chairman of the Yin Family, Yin Guoping, said, "It's not that we want to betray the alliance, but that Chairman Li's initial decision was wrong. Now we've turned to the Divine Continent, and more than sixty percent of our wealth has been transferred there, yet the Divine Continent is still not satisfied and wants to seize the assets we have remaining overseas. It's too much."
"Indeed, the Divine Continent's approach leaves us no way out."
"This is a complete annihilation. They will no longer support our national restoration. If we do not leave now, we will be at their mercy."
Immediately, the chairmen of the conglomerates who sided with Jin Zhonghui voiced their grievances.
Faced with this rebuttal, the chairmen of the three conglomerates supporting Li Xuanyu remained silent.
Clearly, even though they supported Li Xuanyu, they were actually quite unhappy with the information she had brought back the last time.
Li Xuanyu glanced over the crowd, gave a cold snort, and said, "Let me ask you all, has any of the wealth you transferred to the Divine Continent Country been reduced by a single penny? The Divine Continent Country sheltered us and helped us preserve our wealth. Did they ever make you pay a single penny for protection?"
Jin Zhonghui and the others could not refute.
Cui Bancheng couldn't help but say, "That's exactly what they planned. They wanted to deceive us into transferring the three to four-tenths of our overseas wealth to the Divine Continent, so they could get everything in one go."
"Exactly."
"That's what they planned."
"Otherwise, why would they ask us to transfer those assets to the Divine Continent?"
Everybody echoed, speaking indignantly.
Li Xuanyu could naturally understand their concerns. In fact, she was also worried about these issues.
However, with Jin Zhonghui and others secretly teaming up, intending to escape from the Divine Continent, she absolutely could not allow it.
If this happened, the Korea Conglomerate aristocratic family would split completely, and its overall strength would be significantly weakened, making future national restoration impossible.
Her cold gaze swept over Jin Zhonghui and the others, and she said solemnly, "Remember this. First of all, it was us who asked the Divine Continent to help us restore our nation. With this premise, Qin Yanyang questioned our actions and mentioned those assets we deposited in overseas international banks."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded silently; indeed, this was how things were.
Li Xuanyu continued, "Secondly, Qin Yanyang merely raised this issue to tell me that she felt our trust in the Divine Continent was insufficient and that we were wary of the Divine Continent. In that case, why should they help you restore your nation?"
This time, everyone openly nodded, even two of the five whom Jin Zhonghui had incited nodded in agreement.
Li Xuanyu snorted coldly, "If it were you, would you help a group of people who had absolutely no trust in you to restore their nation?"
Everyone lowered their heads.
Indeed, they were filled with suspicions about the Divine Continent. Without these fears, after arriving in the Divine Continent, although they lost the privileges they had in Korea and could no longer act recklessly, as wealth controllers, their lives in Binhai, this international metropolis, were still comfortable and free. There was no need to risk leaving the Divine Continent to seek refuge with Western forces.
"Finally, are you certain that after going to the West, your wealth will not be seized by them? Even if they do not seize your wealth, do you think they will help you restore your nation? Hmph, foolish and selfish. Now that Heaven and the Penglai Realm have joined forces, how would they break their cooperation agreement with the Penglai Realm because of you?"
As Li Xuanyu's final words fell, sweat appeared on Jin Zhonghui's forehead.
They had indeed worried about this issue, but compared to the fear of their wealth being seized by the Divine Continent, they decided it was worth the risk.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuanyu discovered their plans early and summoned them all together.
As the instigator, Jin Zhonghui knew that while the families of the other five might be spared, he himself was doomed. His expression darkened, and he shouted at Li Xuanyu, "Li Xuanyu, for the sake of a man from the Divine Continent Country, do you want to hand over all of Korea's wealth to the Divine Continent? You've fallen under an evil spell, destroying Korea's economic lifeline and becoming a disgrace to Korea. My Jin Family will never allow you to continue this mistake. Fellow comrades, please unite with me to resist the Li Family's Financial Group. Together, we will escape the Divine Continent. After reaching the Western World, we will find a way to restore Korea."
With his loud roar, the office door was immediately forced open, and over a dozen Korean Martial Artists charged in fiercely.
They were the people Jin Zhonghui brought along, having anticipated danger and prepared in advance.
Although this was the Li Family's Financial Group's territory, to show respect to the other financial groups, the people brought by these conglomerate leaders were not blocked downstairs.
When the martial arts experts of the Jin Family stormed in, the people from the other families also rushed in.
All of a sudden, the spacious meeting room became crowded.
Jin Zhonghui saw there were only three or four martial artists guarding Li Xuanyu and was emboldened. He shouted, "Everyone, now that our plan has been exposed, we must first control this vile woman. Only then will we have a way out and be able to save Korea!"
"Chairman Jin is right, kill this Demoness."
"How can a woman lead Korea?"
"Exactly, a woman would bring ruin to the nation. We must not listen to her."
Perhaps incited and instigated by Jin Zhonghui's words, or maybe because they saw their side had more people, with only a few protecting Li Xuanyu, many conglomerate heads developed murderous intent, wanting to overthrow the current situation controlled by Li Xuanyu.
In such a scene, the faces of the chairmen of the three conglomerates supporting the Li Family's Financial Group changed drastically, their emotions wavering.
At this moment, none of them dared to make a statement, afraid of suffering a disaster.
Li Xuanyu calmly sat in the chair. Facing the fierce martial artists, she remained calm and fearless. Instead, with a smile on her face, her gaze continuously scanned the faces of those conglomerate leaders.
"A bunch of fools. Originally, I didn't want to meddle in your family affairs. Now it seems leaving you idiots here is not only unhelpful but will only cause trouble. If you want to leave, fine, I'll send you off."
