As soon as Shen Tianjun spoke these words, everyone suddenly came to their senses again.
Yes, this society is not like ancient times, not an era of chivalrous martial artists.
In this age, it is still money that does the talking.
Money can make the devil push the mill, everything can only be obtained through money.
Even if you are the number one on the Tianlong List, you still rely on money, you cannot survive without eating or drinking, can you?
In today’s society, food, drink, housing, and transportation, which of these does not require spending money?
And in this society, money is the ultimate power!
“The Shen family is vast and powerful, if we truly tear off the mask, even if it means ruining our fortune, our Shen family can still invite a Martial Saint to punish you!”
“Do not think that being number one on the Tianlong List means you are the best under heaven, you must know, there are always people beyond people, skies beyond skies.”
“And our Shen family has the financial strength to invite a Martial Saint to act,” Shen Tianjun declared arrogantly.
As if he had suddenly found his confidence.
“Indeed, money is the ultimate power!” Shen Yucheng also spoke from the side.
Shen Tianjun’s words immediately made the Shen family members lift their heads again, indeed, as long as they had money, what did they have to fear?
“So what if you are number one on the Tianlong List?” Shen Yucheng declared boldly.
Everyone followed suit in realising, indeed, money was the true ultimate power.
After all, the Shen family was an established clan, the most prominent family in Yanjing, and their wealth was already beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
For such a great family, the true foundation was money!
This was the reason for the family’s growth and prosperity.
After all, the Shen family claimed to have assets worth over thirty billion US dollars.
How terrifying was that?
“And I am not afraid to tell you, our Shen family has already reached an agreement with the newly risen richest man in the country, and established a partnership.”
“In other words, our Shen family and the richest man are now in the same boat,” Shen Tianjun declared arrogantly.
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a heavy bomb, instantly shocking everyone present.
They had already established a partnership with the richest man?
Since Shen Tianjun had said so, this partnership was definitely not a small one, it must be a major move.
It seemed the Shen family had enormous ambitions!
Many people had originally thought that the Shen family would definitely be in serious trouble today, after all, they had offended the number one on the Tianlong List.
But if the richest man and the Shen family were already in the same boat, then things would be hard to predict.
After all, the richest man would not likely let anything happen to the Shen family.
“Therefore, so what if you are number one on the Tianlong List?” Shen Tianjun suddenly sneered.
“How could a super family like ours be built overnight?”
“Apart from martial prowess, what do you have to compete with our Shen family?”
“Our Shen family has plenty of money!” Shen Yucheng also declared arrogantly from the side.
Zhang Cuiping and others showed a slight smile, then turned their gaze towards Luo Chen, indeed, their Shen family was not just ordinarily wealthy.
They were truly rich, and the extent of their wealth was already quite frightening.
But Luo Chen shook his head, then looked at Shen Tianjun with a pitying gaze.
“Is the Shen family very rich?” Luo Chen asked with a strong hint of disdain.
“Heh, is the Shen family very rich?”
“Claiming over thirty billion US dollars, do you think that is money or not?” Shen Tianjun mocked.
“The Shen family is not necessarily so.”
This sentence was not spoken by Luo Chen, but by someone outside the door.
Master Zhang!
Master Zhang slowly walked over, and Shen Yucheng hurried to greet him.
“Master Zhang, you have come, I wonder about the richest man?” Shen Yucheng urgently needed the richest man to appear and stand on the Shen family’s side to help stabilise the situation!
“Has not the richest man already arrived long ago?” Master Zhang sneered.
Arrived long ago?
What did that mean?
Shen Yucheng was completely stunned.
The others present were also stunned.
“Has not your Shen family always wanted to meet the richest man?” Master Zhang asked.
“Very well, today I will introduce him to you.”
“The current richest man in the country, my master.”
“Luo!”
“Wu!”
“Ji!”
As soon as these words landed, Shen Tianjun staggered several steps, his vision going dark, if not for someone beside him holding him up, he would likely have collapsed.
Shen Yucheng looked at Luo Chen in horror.
Zhang Cuiping and the others were the same.
As for Shen Junze and the others, they were now dumbfounded, completely speechless with shock.
Including Li Jiu and the rest.
Even Shen Yuelan looked at Luo Chen in disbelief.
This son of hers was truly hidden too deeply, truly beyond even his own mother’s understanding!
Dealing with this son of hers, you truly never knew when you would be proven wrong.
One had to be prepared at all times, otherwise, with a single careless moment, one would face a shock beyond measure.
As for Master Zhang’s words, no one doubted them.
After all, Master Zhang had long been appearing publicly in Yanjing as the richest man’s representative, and many people had seen him.
But now everyone was stunned, after all, that was the richest man.
How could this be possible?
How could someone so young become the richest man?
Li Jiayi was already so regretful that it was not just her intestines turning green, now they were practically knotted.
She had always looked down on Luo Chen, and only now realised that the person she had despised was actually someone she needed to look up to.
The richest man!
An existence that even the Shen family could not compare to!
Not to mention the young people of the Shen family’s third generation.
Could Shen Junze, Shen Junjie, Shen Juntao and the others compare to Luo Chen?
They were not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
Luo Chen was right, to compare him with the third generation of the Shen family was indeed an insult to him.
Who was he?
The richest man!
And also the number one on the Tianlong List.
With just these two identities, who present could compare?
Indeed, Luo Chen’s statement that everyone present was trash was not wrong at all.
Thinking of this, Li Jiayi had already lowered her head.
She had missed her chance, that was the richest man, she had truly missed it, that was the number one on the Tianlong List.
Either identity alone would have been enough to make her go wild, and clearly her mother had created countless opportunities for her.
But unfortunately, she had not cherished them.
Instead, ever since Luo Chen came to Yanjing, she had been constantly sarcastic and cutting.
Li Yingying shook her head, looked at her daughter, and sighed.
Shen Junze and the other third generation Shen family members clenched their fists tightly, no longer daring to look directly at Luo Chen.
To them, Luo Chen was truly too brilliant, even the older generation could not compare to his presence.
And they had previously looked down on Luo Chen?
What right did they have to look down on Luo Chen?
Even Shen Yucheng felt a strong sense of regret, the number one on the Tianlong List, plus the richest man.
What an honour, what a glorious achievement for the ancestors!
If only they had properly accepted Luo Chen back then, and made some amends.
What would their Shen family have lost?
Nothing at all, instead they would have gained the richest man and the number one on the Tianlong List!
This deal would have been worthwhile in every way!
But what had they done instead? Many people sighed silently to themselves, today, the Shen family was in danger.
