Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058
In an instant, everyone from the Dark Group faction stood up and shouted in unison.
Fu Tianyou was furious, his face turning red, yet now he was caught off guard by Tang Ming. If he didn’t apologize, with the gratitude the Dark Group had for Tang Ming, things would surely escalate.
Tang Ming stood still, looking provocatively at Fu Tianyou.
"Huff huff, I’m sorry, I misspoke earlier, I apologize to Group Leader Tang."
Fu Tianyou gritted his teeth, bowed his head in apology, and without waiting for Tang Ming to speak, he put down the certificate and turned to leave.
Really worried this kid might pull another stunt, unpredictable and hard to guard against.
At this moment, Fu Tianyou even felt like swallowing Tang Ming whole, his son had been crippled, the Ming Group suffered heavy losses because of him, and yet he had to apologize to this guy, it felt so humiliating.
Seeing Fu Tianyou apologize, only then did Su Tianyu and the others quiet down.
"Hehe, you’re quite something, aren’t you, kid?"
Finally, Meng Liang walked over to Tang Ming with the medal, and said with a sigh, "Heroes come from the young, that’s absolutely true."
"Thank you, sir, for casting your vote for me."
Tang Ming looked at Meng Liang sincerely. Without Meng Liang’s crucial vote in the end, he would have lost.
Meng Liang slightly smiled and reached out to place the medal over Tang Ming’s neck.
Just as Tang Ming stretched his neck to let Meng Liang place the medal, a voice suppressed to the utmost limit sounded in his ear:
"Kid, I didn’t vote because of your influence. If it weren’t for the fact that the young lady was with you before and I was accompanying her, did you think I would bother with you?"
Tang Ming suddenly looked up, staring incredulously at the smiling Meng Liang, completely unaware of what he was talking about.
"Stop staring around, I can’t let the Meng Family get entangled in the affairs of the Ming and Dark factions."
Meng Liang’s voice sounded again, "I am Ru Meng’s servant, and for the sake of my mistress, I helped you once. I hope you take good care of Miss Liu Mengting. If anything happens to Miss Mengting, I will be the first to destroy you."
With that said, Meng Liang helped Tang Ming with the medal and then stepped back.
Tang Ming, on the other hand, looked at Meng Liang in disbelief, unable to digest the information from the earlier words, it was too much to take in.
This Meng Liang was actually Liu Mengting’s mother Ru Meng’s servant?
What kind of person is Ru Meng, who can have someone from the Meng Family as a servant?
If Ru Meng is really that formidable, then Liu Mengting must not be an ordinary person either, right?
Although Meng Liang only said a few sentences, the amount of information was so much that it completely dumbfounded Tang Ming.
But at least one thing is clear now, which is that Meng Liang didn’t vote wrongly, but intentionally favored him because of Ru Meng.
It’s just that Meng Liang didn’t want the Meng Family to be attacked by the Ming Group, so he came up with such a lame excuse.
Luckily, no one dared to question his decision, which brought the matter to a satisfactory end.
By the time Tang Ming reacted, Meng Liang had already left the scene, and the cheers from the Dark Group faction’s people below overshadowed everything.
"We won, it’s truly wonderful."
Along with this, Long Ao and Lin Canghai rushed onto the stage, lifted Tang Ming up, and threw him to the crowd below.
The people from the Dark Group faction below quickly caught Tang Ming and then tossed him into the air, celebrating joyously.
The people from the Ming Group faction, on the other hand, left the scene with their heads down temporarily.
The grand martial arts competition was settled, and many people from both factions cried.
The Ming Group side cried because of losing the competition, grieving in despair; the Dark Group faction cried tears of joy, finally proud and respected.
After the celebration, Tang Ming and the others didn’t immediately return to the city but were taken to a grand conference room.
At this moment, all the heads of the nine families were present, along with three middle-aged men in Chinese tunics sitting at the center of the conference table, sorting through documents.
After taking his seat, Tang Ming asked Zhou Xiong beside him, puzzled.
"This is the authority transfer ceremony."
Zhou Xiong said excitedly:
"Those three are the high-level officials from the Military Department overseeing the Ming and Dark Groups. They’re witnessing the transfer of the rights to resource allocation for the next three years to the Su Family by the Ming Group faction."
"So there’s actually this kind of procedure."
Tang Ming suddenly understood, and then saw Su Tianyu walking proudly to the three men.
"Come on, Wan brother, it’s time to hand over the authority."
Su Tianyu smiled as he looked at Wan Changfa, suppressing a laugh as he spoke.
Wan Changfa snorted coldly, extremely reluctant as he picked up the official stamps and documents in front of him and walked forward.
In Wan Changfa’s heart, he was deeply reluctant. Only by controlling the resource allocation rights can one truly appreciate the benefits of controlling power.
Wan Yong was able to be sent to the Hidden Sect for cultivation precisely because, after gaining control of the power, the Wan Family completed this action through connections.
Just seeing Wan Yong showcasing abilities superior to the young disciples of other families was enough to recognize the benefits of a resource-controlling family.
Unfortunately, now having to hand over the authority to the Su Family made Wan Changfa feel like he could die from frustration.
"Don’t waste time, get the main task done quickly."
Su Tianyu snatched the items from Wan Changfa’s hands and placed them before the three leaders.
After inspecting and confirming no issues, the three overseers had Su Tianyu and Wan Changfa sign the agreement and then left the conference room.
"Hahaha, it’s settled. From today, my Su Family is in control of resource allocation. If any of you families need resources, remember to apply to me."
Su Tianyu, holding a pile of items, looked at Fu Tianbao and others, laughing smugly.
"Humph, now that the power transfer is done, can we adjourn?"
Wan Changfa snorted coldly, impatiently asking.
"No need to rush." Su Tianyu sat back in his chair, grinning as he said:
"Although this grand martial arts competition is over, we should now discuss where to build the venue for the competition in three years and how much you all should contribute financially."
"Do we really need to discuss such things with us?"
Fu Tianbao, with a displeased expression, impatiently said, "From now on you’ll call the shots, do as you like."
"Hahaha, if that’s the case, then you can leave. We’ll discuss the upcoming matters ourselves."
Su Tianyu laughed carefreely, finding the feeling utterly pleasing.
"Cough cough, there’s no need to choose another location. I think this location for the grand martial arts competition is quite good. How about letting the Dark Group take over directly?"
Before the people from the Ming Group faction could leave, Tang Ming immediately raised his hand and proposed.
"Nonsense, this is the base we built for the Ming Group, why give it away to the Dark Group for nothing."
Fu Tianyou immediately opposed, angrily shouting:
"If you want a base, build your own, you’re not getting this one."
