Hearing this, all the shareholders could not help but become nervous. Many people looked expectantly toward Fade Chen. Among them, Zenon Huang looked even more confident and was almost about to stand up to receive words of congratulations. But just then, Fade suddenly waved to a person at the door and said, "Come in!"

At that moment, Edward Sun entered the room. He glanced at all the shareholders, nodded slightly, and then stood next to Fade.

Fade introduced him immediately, saying, "This is Edward. He used to be a member of the Sun Family in Long City, but later he left the Sun Family. Now, I have appointed him as the new supervising leader of the Sun Family's businesses."

As soon as he said that, all the shareholders on the scene were stunned, and their expressions froze.

Zenon, who was full of confidence and felt gleeful just now, was disappointed. His expression couldn't help but darken, seeming a little gloomy.

Fade acted as if he didn't see their expressions and said blandly," Edward is my choice. Do any of you have any objections?" The shareholders didn't dare to say anything. After all, this person in front of them was the top master of Long City, and a martial- arts master. If they accidentally angered him, he might kill all of them, and they would be doomed.

Among the people, Zenon's expression was the most gloomy. Initially, he was determined to get the position of the supervising leader, but he did not expect Fade to choose someone outside of the shareholders. Instead, he had found an unknown member of the Sun Family to take over the businesses, which completely messed up Zenon's plans.

For a moment, several shareholders who had reached an agreement with Zenon in private looked at him.

Zenon's eyes darkened. He looked at those shareholders and nodded slightly.

Zenon immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, you are the owner of the Sun Family's businesses. We actually have no objections to your decision."

"However, we are the main shareholders of the Sun Family's businesses, and there are many other shareholders beside us. The profits of the Sun Family's businesses also belong to us. Therefore, I think we should consider everyone's opinion about the candidate for the supervising leader," Zenon said. He spoke carefully, choosing his words appropriately so that Fade would not be provoked.

After that, the shareholders who had secretly made a pact with Zenon also nodded approvingly. Then, they fixed their gazes at Fade.

Seeing their reactions, Fade knew that they had colluded with each other secretly. His face fell and he asked, "Who do you think would be an appropriate candidate?"

Zenon gathered his thoughts and said, "I think that the supervising leader should possess at least a few qualities. Firstly, he should have sufficient business experiences and skills; next, he should have a high status; also, he should have made significant contributions to the Sun Family's businesses."

"Yes, these few qualities are very important!"

"That's right!"

Someone echoed.

Fade continued to ask, "What quality do you think Edward lacks? Are you doubting my recommendation?"

"Ahem, ahem!" No one dared to speak, and they all looked at Zenon.

Zenon coughed softly and said, "I went to visit the Sun Family quite a few times before and met Mr. Edward as well. He is considered decent in many aspects. But to be honest, although he is decent, neither his business experiences, status nor contributions satisfy the requirements for the supervising leader. I don't think he can take charge of the Sun Family's businesses."

Edward's face turned pale and his expression was unpleasant. However, he couldn't deny that Zenon was telling the truth.

Fade pondered the situation for a moment and said, "Edward has managed his own company and his performance is decent. Even if his skills are not sufficient right now, they can be improved. As for his contributions, Edward is still a member of the Sun Family. No matter how small his contributions are, they are still considered greater than those of the shareholders."

All the shareholders were stunned. They felt that Fade was forcing them to accept Edward as their supervising leader.

Zenon narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Even if Mr. Chen's points of view are correct and he meets two of the requirements, Edward's status is too low. This cannot be denied.After all, the Sun Family has many assets and businesses. If he is not respected and has no influence over us, then it's not realistic for him to lead us or control our business matters."

"His status is too low?" Fade said. His eyes were slightly narrowed and cold. He said in an icy tone, "In this case, you are voicing your disapproval of me."

All the shareholders' expressions immediately changed and they quickly waved their hands to deny this.

Zenon smiled and spoke confidently, "Mr. Chen's status is certainly high enough. However, you are not a businessman, and it is impossible for you to manage these businesses by yourself. If that's the case, I'm afraid that if Mr. Sun were to to try to influence us or lead all the businesses, he would..."

Fade's eyes sank. He slammed his palm on the table, and suddenly a hand-print was seen on the solid wooden table. "How about this? Will this help to persuade you?"he said.

Everyone was shocked, and Zenon was also frightened. Fortunately, he was prepared. He laughed and said, "If Mr. Chen threatens us with violent actions or martial-arts skills, we are naturally no match for you. However, not everyone is afraid of death."

As soon as he said that, Fade snorted and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Zenon did not panic and he was not in a hurry. He clapped his hands and said, "Come in now!"

Immediately, several elders in their seventies or eighties, entered the room holding crutches. There were more than a dozen of them. At a glance, Edward recognized that these elders were all from the older generation of the Sun Family.

Previously, due to Francesca Sun's oppressive existence, the statuses of these elders had been lowered. However, Francesca had been defeated and she had not returned home yet. Her status and prestige had been greatly reduced. Therefore, the status and prestige of these elders were naturally raised.

At this moment, they looked at Fade and Edward with stern expressions and said,

"We strongly oppose Edward as supervising leader and master of the Sun Family."

"He can't manage these large businesses at all."

"He is just an unimportant family member. How can he be supervising leader of the Sun family's businesses?"

Fade looked at Zenon, who was gleeful, and then he looked at the elders in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What rights do you all have to say this? I'm the person supporting Edward." His words shocked all the people on the spot and they became quiet.

However, around ten seconds later, an elder with crutches came forward, shook his head and spoke in a sarcastic tone, saying, "We are naturally aware of Mr. Chen's strength. However, not everyone is afraid o death. Anyway, we are in our seventies and eighties and have lived enough. If Mr. Chen wants to kill us, you can directly do so in one move. However, I don't know if this act will persuade all the people here?" For a moment, this group of elders stepped forward in unison, without any fear of death.

Edward's face fell. He glanced at Fade, and his mouth moved slightly. He wanted to say something, but the words could not come out.

Fade shook his head at Edward, and he frowned slightly. He didn't expect Zenon to pull such a move, which forced him to rethink his decision.
