Baldy Liu just looked at Li Er with a cold smile on his lips.
"Why, you!” But just when Li Er was about to explode in fury, another person in the room stood up as well.
"The Du family is also willing to acknowledge Young Master Lu as our leader!"
"Du, you too...” Li Er and Lei San were caught by surprise once again.
Before this, Li Er, Lei San and Chen Ao had already talked to the other families and told them that about coming together to fight Fenghua Group.
They didn't expect two families to defect right from the start.
But this was only the beginning.
After the head of the Du family declared his stand, a third and a fourth person also stood up to say the same thing.
"The Tian family..."
"The Zhu family..."
Eventually, almost everyone in the room had stood up. All of them raised their wine glass to give a toast to Lu Ming-Feng.
Their reverent voices and respectful words rang loudly in the ballroom.
"All of us are willing to acknowledge Mr Lu as our leader! From now onwards, we will listen to nobody else except Mr Lu!"
Li Er and the other two were all shocked by the events unfolding before them.
These were the same people who had confidently agreed to stand together with them to protect Mr Chu's prestige just the night before. But now, they had all changed sides.
"Great. Just great. We were blind to have actually believed all of you! When Mr Chu got rid of Zhao Wu-Ji back then, he should have just massacred you animals as well!"
Li Er's eyes were bloodshot and Lei San was furious. They both felt terribly
betrayed.
Li Er finally turned back to look at Lu Ming-Feng.
"Lu Ming-Feng, don't be too smug yet. Even if all of Jiangdong surrenders to you, the Li family of Yunzhou, the Lei family of Jingzhou and the Chen family of Jianghai will never surrender to you! The three of us will make sure we break a few teeth of yours even if we die trying!" roared Li Er fiercely.
Lei San chimed in with a look of fury spewing from his eyes.
But Lu Ming-Feng just smiled faintly when he saw how angry they looked.
He didn't say anything and just picked up the wine glass in front of him before taking a sip.
His sinister face was covered with a confident and mocking expression.
"Oh, is that so? Li Er, it's fine if you want to be stupid by yourself. But are you so sure that your companions are as stupid as you are?" Lu Ming-Feng chuckled.
Li Er immediately frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
While Li Er was still confused, the silent Chen Ao seated next to him suddenly stood up.
He picked up his wine glass, bowed humbly and said with much respect, "The Chen family of Jianghai is willing to acknowledge Mr Lu as the King of Jiangdong!"
BOOM...
It felt like lightning just struck Li Er and Lei San.
They were both so shocked that they couldn't move.
Their eyes widened and stared straight at Chen Ao in utter disbelief.
They simply couldn't believe what they had just seen and heard.
It never crossed their minds that Chen Ao would actually betray Mr Chu as well and become subordinate to Lu Ming-Feng.
"Chen Ao, you...you...how could you do this? Don't you know how much Mr Chu has done for you? If not for Mr Chu, the Chen family wouldn't be what they are today! If not for Mr Chu, your daughter would have died by now! You owe Mr Chu everything you have today! Anyone in Jiangdong can betray him except you! You animal! How could you betray Mr Chu!"
"Why?! Why are you doing this?!" Li Er roared ferociously at Chen Ao with bloodshot eyes.
Lei San's eyes were bulging furiously as well and his entire body was shaking.
Chen Ao's betrayal affected them tremendously.
