To get their attention and soothe their anger was the first step. Next, he had to put out the bargaining chips.
“I, Ye Zifeng, will represent the Ye clan and make a declaration. The first ten clans who supports the Ye clan will reap more benefits than other clans. They will be awarded one percent of the business channels in Tiandao City.
“One whole percent?”
When Ye Zifeng said that, everyone was shocked and gasped.
This one percent doesn’t sound like much but to the vast amount of business that goes on, this one percent can represent a small clan’s entire fortune. This kind of special treatment cannot be overlooked by a small clan. To a small clan, this was a great chance for them to rise in power.
“Nonsense. This is simply preposterous.”
In the group of people, a middle age man started to yell, “My Liu clan and Ye clan have always been very friendly. Why would you give this one percent to someone else? I don’t agree. Call you father out!”
(TL: This is a different Liu clan.)
Ye Zifeng coldly smiled, “If your Liu clan have always been intimate with our Ye clan, then why didn’t you come out and say anything for us when the other people were badmouthing us before? You were standing there badmouthing us too…..”
“This….” The middle aged man’s face sank. He didn’t think Ye Zifeng would have noticed all this movements.
Actually, before Ye Zifeng opened the door, he was hiding in the shadows and watching everyone’s expression carefully. He took note of who was on the Ye clan’s side and who wasn’t. In his heart, he knew who was two faced even before they begin to speak.
The middle aged man paused for a bit and then yelled out again, “I don’t care. I don’t want to deal with a hairless brat like you. Tell your father to get out here!”
He paused for a bit again and then started to incite the others, “Come on everyone. Aren’t I right? We should talk with his father instead.”
Ye Zifeng laughed at his, “I will make a blood oath that I am representing the entire Ye clan and prove that I’m not just making empty promises. If I say that I will give you one percent of the business channels, I promise that I will give it to you.”
The middle age man wanted to get everyone else to call Ye Chongtian out but no one else did anything. They all looked solemnly at Ye Zifeng and couldn’t do anything at all.
“Hey. What happened to you guys? Didn’t we agree to rile up the Ye clan together? Now because of this one percent, all of you changed your mind? You should know that this one percent might not even end up in your hands!”
