Chairman Dongfang Yanyu's words struck like a thunderclap, echoing through the hall and leaving everyone's ears ringing, their hearts pounding with shock.
In all their time at the Soul Master Tower, they had never seen the typically mild-mannered Chairman Dongfang Yanyu so furious.
"What? Is no one going to step forward?"
SWOOSH!
Instantly, nearly every gaze in the room fell upon He Xuting.
"Chairman Dongfang Yanyu, I..." He Xuting's heart leaped into his throat. His mouth hung open, words failing him. He could only cast a pleading glance toward his father, He Zhen.
Dongfang Yanyu turned to He Zhen as well, his tone softening. "Vice Chairman He, he is your son. Perhaps you should be the one to question him."
Vice Chairman He Zhen's expression had also been cold, but upon seeing it was He Xuting, a complex look flickered in his eyes. "Xuting," he asked, "did you really say that?"
