"Don't think that it's too much. You know that the Wang family is where we are today because of our unique talisman-making secret technique. This is truly priceless. If we were to put it on the market, one billion spiritual Jade is already a very generous price. Moreover, this includes other large expenses. Our Wang family has already done our best and is very kind."
Wang Tianwen's words were sincere, and even the higher-ups of the Wang clan agreed.
After the battle just now, they had given up on the idea of directly falling out and forcefully snatching the talisman making society, but they still had the courage to make a big profit in the name of compensation, and it was a big one.
One billion spiritual jades sounded like an astronomical figure, but there was not much that could really be distributed to them. Any less and some people would not be able to eat their fill.
At this time, Wang Tianfeng stood up."Technology is priceless. I don't think one billion spiritual jades is a lot, but we've learned a lot of talisman-making technology from the talisman making society, especially the talisman production line. In terms of value, it's not below our Wang family's Secret technique, and its commercial value is even higher. If we really want to figure it out, we might have to give the talisman making society a sum."
The faces of the Wang family higher-ups darkened.
Although their positions had long been destined to stand on Wang Tianwen's side, Wang Tianfeng's attitude just now was still to their liking. On the surface, they were still willing to compliment him, but this F * cker directly betrayed them. Knowing that he had no chance of winning, he simply let himself go. What was this?
"Hmph!" Wang Tianwen snorted coldly."This is an important place in the ancestral hall. You have to be careful with your words and your stance."
Wang Tianfeng smiled indifferently.""I'm a member of the Wang family, and my ass is on the Wang family's side, but I only speak the words of Justice. "
"What a fair statement!"
Wang Tianwen made a prompt decision."Since we can't reach a consensus, let's vote. Should we ask the talisman society for a compensation of one billion spiritual Jade? representatives of each branch, let's vote now!"
Although a series of unexpected twists and turns had happened, the time was right, and the result of the vote was already in his hands.
Once the voting results were out, it would be the will of the entire Wang family. Unless Lin Yi was brave enough to challenge the entire Wang family, he would have to spit out the billion spiritual Jade!
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow-he didn't want to completely fall out with talismans and formations players unless it was absolutely necessary, after all. But since the other party was so insistent, there was nothing he could do.
After all, good words can't persuade a damned ghost.
All the higher-ups of the Wang family suddenly stood up and saluted in front of the ancestral tablets. This was the established process before each vote to show that the choice they made was worthy of their ancestors, that everything was for the prosperity of the family, and that they had no selfish motives.
Of course, no one would believe this kind of nonsense except for themselves. In fact, they would not believe it themselves. It was just a process.
Following that was the voting!
Wang Tianwen sneered as he threw his choice into the voting box first, followed by Wang Tianfeng.
Although this was an anonymous vote, their choices were obvious. They would each take one side. The key was the high-level representatives of the various branches.
A group of people lined up and stepped forward, nodding to Wang Tianwen in acknowledgment. Their gazes already explained everything, and Wang Tianwen became more confident.
"If the vote results are 35 to 1, I'm afraid someone's face will look bad. It's not too late to regret it now. Since no one has voted yet, I can make an exception and do it again. What do you think, Tianfeng?"
Wang Tianwen looked at Wang Tianfeng with a magnanimous expression. Although he had not taken the position, he had already assumed the attitude of the family head."For a super family like our formation talisman Wang family, the most important thing is internal unity. It wouldn't be good if we were to be laughed at by outsiders because of some unnecessary face."
What he meant was that other than Wang Tianfeng, all the other 34 representatives present who had the right to vote would all stand on his side without exception!
If it really developed to that point, Wang Tianfeng's prestige would definitely fall to the bottom.
Not to mention competing with him for the family head, he was afraid that he would not even be able to maintain his previous status in the family and would be reduced to a marginal figure in the blink of an eye.
Everyone turned to look at him. From this point of view, Wang Tianwen was really doing this for his own good. However, in that way, it would be equivalent to Wang Tianfeng choosing to bow his head and admit defeat, voluntarily withdrawing from the fight for the position of family head in exchange for the last bit of dignity.
Wang Tianfeng smiled indifferently."There's no need. I believe that there are still many discerning people in the family. They know what to choose."
"That's true. "
Wang Tianwen sneered."Since you don't want your dignity, then forget it. That's all I have to say. Let's continue to vote."
At this moment, a text message notification suddenly rang out.
The representatives of the Wang family's branches who were queuing up took out their phones one after another. Then, their expressions changed abruptly, and their faces were filled with shock.
Wang Tianwen was the only one who did not receive the message. He was confused and immediately urged,""Everyone, stop dawdling and quickly vote. There are still many things to do next."
The representatives of each house hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they still went forward to vote. However, many people silently changed the White stones in their hands to black stones.
According to the Wang family's rules, a white stone represented approval, while a black stone represented opposition.
After everyone had finished voting, Wang Tianwen still had not realized the severity of the problem. He still walked forward with a confident look and said,""Now, open the box and check the voting results."
According to his imagination, there should be 35 white pieces and only one lone black piece in the voting box. This way, Wang Tianwen would be nailed to the pillar of shame on the spot!
In the end, there were thirty-five black stones and one white stone.
There was a strange silence.
Wang Tianwen's first reaction was that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eyes several times and realized that there was still no change. He forced an awkward smile and said,""Could it be that everyone has misunderstood the meaning? What I said was that the White stones represent that they agree to Annex the talisman making society, and the black stones represent that they oppose the annexation of the talisman making society. Are you all mistaken?"
The representatives of each branch all turned their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Seeing such a reaction, Wang Tianwen finally accepted the reality. He looked at Wang Tianfeng with a cold face and said,""What kind of unspeakable scheme did you use?"
Wang Tianfeng smiled."It's not that exaggerated. It's just a kind reminder to all my uncles and brothers. If you want to know, I can also forward it to you."
After he finished speaking, Wang Tianwen's phone rang. When he opened it, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The message was very simple, just one sentence.
"If we Annex the talisman making society, the repeat students Chamber of Commerce Alliance will terminate all cooperation with the Wang family and choose the Chen family as a replacement partner."
The Chen clan was the second-ranked talisman-making clan in Jianghai city. Although they had their own specialty in talismans, they were still far from being on the same level as the Wang clan. Although they were competitors, they were not on the same level.
