Chapter 1433: Chapter 1433

"I propose that while Tang Ming’s cultivation is currently crippled and his relationship with the Long Family and Wu Family is broken, we should immediately send someone to take care of him. What do you think?"

Qian Weiguo shouted excitedly.

"I agree as well. This Tang Ming brat is too monstrous. We should take his life while he’s down to ensure our peace of mind,"

Zhao Jincheng quickly concurred, fully supporting the proposal to eliminate Tang Ming.

"In that case, Fu Tianyou, get ready to send someone to kill Tang Ming. It would also avenge the Ming Group,"

Wan Changfa smiled at Fu Tianyou, saying, "Dealing with mere Five-star Martial Master should be easy, right?"

"I won’t do it! Whoever wants to kill Tang Ming can go, but I won’t,"

Fu Tianyou quickly shook his head and said with dread, "Tang Ming’s cultivation has been crippled before. Who knows if it’s really gone this time or if it’s fake? If he’s recovered, I’m doomed."

"Absolutely impossible. My people can guarantee that his cultivation has been completely crippled."

Wan Changshou vowed confidently.

"I won’t go either. The Ming Group is currently badly injured, with scores of martial masters killed. We can’t afford any more trouble,"

Fu Tianyou dismissed it with a wave, his attitude unshaken.

"Fu Tianyou, aren’t you being a bit too cowardly?"

Qian Weiguo looked at Fu Tianyou with dissatisfaction, complaining, "The head of the Ming Group is actually scared of Tang Ming. Even now that his cultivation is crippled, you’re so timid. It’s embarrassing."

"Exactly! We could understand if you feared him before when Tang Ming was a Nine-star Martial Master. But now that his cultivation is gone, your fear is just cowardliness,"

Zhao Jincheng also ridiculed along.

"Brother, why don’t you send someone to deal with Tang Ming?"

Fu Tianbao was tempted, looking at Fu Tianyou and persuading, "Though Tang Ming was formidable before, now his cultivation is only at Five-star Martial Master. You can send a few experts to take him down easily."

"It’s not as easy as you say! In any case, I won’t risk it. If anyone wants to do it, go ahead, but it has nothing to do with me,"

Fu Tianyou dismissed it with a wave, his stance unwavering.

"Fu Tianyou, what kind of attitude is that?"

Zhao Jincheng’s face turned cold, "The Ming Group, as a branch of our families, should help us resolve issues. Are you expecting us to personally send people to deal with Tang Ming?"

"Exactly! With your current attitude, you’re not fit to head the Ming Group, lacking in decisiveness,"

Qian Weiguo snorted in discontent.

"Hmph, if you’re not satisfied, then send someone to replace me. I don’t want to do it anyway,"

Fu Tianyou shouted in exasperation, "Come on! Whoever wants to take the deputy director position of the Ming Group, I’ll hand over the power right now."

Upon hearing that, the family heads fell silent, realizing that stepping in now would only lead to disaster given the disarrayed state of the Ming Group.

"If you don’t want to do it, I can take over, give me the..."

Seeing Fu Tianyou ready to step down, Wan Changshou couldn’t hold back and stood up immediately.

Before Wan Changshou could finish, Wan Changfa pressed him back into his chair and said through gritted teeth, "Don’t be silly. Only Fu Tianyou can handle the current situation of the Ming Group. If you go, you’ll be courting death."

"Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"

Wan Changshou frowned slightly, uncertainly looked at Wan Changfa, "Tang Ming is already crippled. The Dark Group poses no threat to the Ming Group. Even though the Ming Group suffered losses, it’s still large enough to handle it. It should be a good opportunity for us, right?"

"You know nothing, just stay put,"

Wan Changfa decisively warned, smiling as he turned to Fu Tianyou, "Deputy Director Fu, don’t be angry, we’re just discussing issues. We have no intention of forcing you to step down."

"Yes, yes, there’s no one suitable to replace you. Only you can maintain control over the Ming Group,"

Zhao Jincheng quickly corrected himself, looking flatteringly at Fu Tianyou, "You’re the one who managed to defeat a Two-star Martial Artist and severely injure Tang Ming. No one else is fit for the job."

"I think the same. Whatever you decide, we won’t interfere with your decisions anymore,"

Qian Weiguo also nodded quickly, agreeing was easy, but letting the Qian Family take over the debt-ridden Ming Group would be fatal!

"Hmph, if that’s the case, then don’t force me to deal with Tang Ming. The priority now is to recuperate and restore the vitality of the Ming Group,"

Fu Tianyou said earnestly, pulling a stern face.

"Right, right, you’re absolutely right,"

Everyone nodded quickly.

"Everyone, no matter what, Tang Ming’s cultivation being crippled is a good thing for us. At least we don’t have to worry about him coming after us anymore,"

Fu Tianyou adjusted his clothes and raised his wine glass, "We should celebrate, and at the same time, I have some matters to report to you,"

The family heads held their wine glasses, looking at Fu Tianyou warily.

"You’re all aware of the recent events. Due to the conflict with Tang Ming, the Ming Group suffered severe losses, with scores of martial masters lost and over a thousand members of varying ranks killed in this incident,"

Fu Tianyou took a sip of wine, saying helplessly, "So many casualties resulted in astronomical compensation amounts. The Ming Group’s current financial income is very limited, so I plan to request funding from all of you,"

The crowd became suspicious, realizing that the Ming Group’s casualties were indeed terrifying this time.

The Ming Group was never short on money, so members enjoyed excellent benefits, with compensation for a single death reaching several million. Such benefits attracted many to join the Ming Group.

Under these conditions, the Ming Group grew powerful, but now, with so many deaths, the compensation amounts to astronomical figures.

"Ahem, Deputy Director, you should know that we, a few family heads, were previously conned by Sun Zhuangjia, and then again by Tang Ming. The financial situations of our families are now very tight,"

Qian Weiguo spoke first, looking at Fu Tianyou with difficulty, "To be honest, the Qian Family’s current liquid assets don’t even reach a hundred million. The rest are tied up in fixed assets, and there’s a need for funds in many areas. We really can’t provide further funding for the Ming Group,"

"The situation in the Wan Family is similar,"

"The Zhao Family is even worse, owing a lot to the banks,"

Wan Changfa and Zhao Jincheng also spoke up, lamenting their financial woes.

Fu Tianbao moved his lips, looking at Fu Tianyou helplessly, "Brother, it’s not that I don’t support you, but the family has taken losses over this time, similar to the others, expenses exceed incomes."
