Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 887 - 890: Don’t Go Too Far!

Guo Man was somewhat dumbfounded.

Lei Qiang coming over to her side might at most delay her for a few days.

That wasn’t enough to be truly frightening.

With Xia Liu by her side, she didn’t feel an ounce of fear.

However, Lante turned out to be terrifying to this degree—compensating her directly with 30 billion US dollars because of an employee’s mistake.

It was simply the behavior of a super tycoon.

No, that doesn’t quite capture it!

"Super tycoon" is no longer enough to define his actions and identity.

It’s likely no one in the world can achieve what he has done.

The entire conference room was stunned into silence.

Guo Liang was shocked to the core.

Guo Lie was equally astonished.

The others felt an indescribable sense of apprehension.

Three billion added to the 30 billion in "shock compensation."

Guo Man had done it!

Not only did she fulfill her promise, but she might even elevate the Guo Family Group to an entirely new height. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

This could likely become the most frightening position in all of Huaxia.

No one could imagine what kind of enterprise the Guo Family Group would transform into after such funding.

Thinking back on the mocking words they had directed at Guo Man earlier...

Aside from Guo Liang, everyone else lowered their heads.

Shame. Guilt...

A torrent of vocabulary surged chaotically in their minds.

The "little girl" they had ridiculed—the one who was impulsive and had no experience...

Amid universal doubt, she negotiated a project that could shake the world.

This was an unprecedented mega cooperation deal.

Even the most famous corporations in the world could hardly match this level of investment.

It was terrifying!

This girl from the younger generation was terrifying!

At this moment, Guo Lie and Guo Liang’s positions couldn’t possibly be any more awkward.

They were the masterminds behind convening this meeting.

But the outcome wasn’t witnessing Guo Man losing her standing...

Instead, it was the beginning of their utter humiliation.

Guo Man hadn’t shown a shred of disgrace throughout.

In contrast, it was the two of them who were laughable from beginning to end.

"Little Man, your uncle was wrong. Please punish me."

Guo Lie lowered his head. Apologizing was the only thing he could say and do at this moment.

"Uncle didn’t really do anything wrong. I understand you were just doing it for the sake of the Group."

Guo Man gave a calm smile. While her words seemed forgiving, the undertone of mockery was anything but hidden.

She hadn’t forgotten how Guo Lie had humiliated her earlier.

Those who humiliate others will be humiliated in turn!

If one seeks respect, they must first learn to respect others.

Guo Man maintained a decent disposition, but when facing bad people, of course, she had her approach for handling them.

There was no way Guo Lie could miss the implication in Guo Man’s words. He could only muster a bitter smile, devoid of any strength to refute her.

Seeing Guo Lie’s example, the others dared not utter a word.

Apologizing would only bring shame upon themselves.

But failing to apologize wasn’t an option either.

Yet, to be ridiculed by someone younger in front of so many people—they couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

Apologizing was necessary, but it shouldn’t happen in this setting. Once the meeting was over, doing it discreetly would suffice.

It might not yield much effect but would preserve some psychological comfort.

Guo Man’s capabilities were evident.

Three billion-dollar projects, entirely within her grasp, with Lante aiding her to integrate the Guo Family Group.

If she were to lose her status in the company...

This three billion could be retracted at any moment.

From this moment onward, the Guo Family Group would be firmly in Guo Man’s charge.

This was unquestionable.

"Ha-ha, Guo Man, niece, what remarkable ability you have. Your uncle is impressed."

Even though Guo Man possessed such heaven-defying powers, Guo Liang still tried to exert seniority over her.

From Guo Liang’s perspective, calling her "niece" was already a mockery in itself.

Yet, unfortunately, his attempt was nothing but self-deception.

The contemptuous glances throughout the conference room had already declared that no one would trust Guo Liang from now on.

Even if he were an Earth-Rank Primary-Level Martial Artist...

Even if he had some standing in the Guo Family...

What could he do to intimidate the business elite in the Guo Family who couldn’t engage in cultivation?

"Uncle Guo Liang, is there something else you’d like to say? The video is fake? Well, I can’t guarantee that, but this money being fake? Many people can verify that. If you don’t believe it, you can go check for yourself."

The most cutting remarks didn’t necessarily contain coarse language.

Instead, they carried subtle gibes and a cold smirk enough to leave the target mortified.

Looking at Guo Man’s slightly triumphant expression...

Guo Liang’s eyes narrowed, and an Earth-Rank Primary-Level Martial Artist’s aura began to faintly leak out.

At the end of the day, Guo Man was only an ordinary person.

A mere commoner without any cultivation.

How dare she mock him!

How dare she ridicule the Martial Artists of the family!

Guo Man clearly felt the pressure coming from Guo Liang.

Yet, in an instant, all that pressure vanished entirely.

"How is this possible?!"

Guo Liang was suddenly overcome with unease.

The ability to withstand his aura required either a Martial Artist of a higher rank...

Or the protection of a High-Strength Martial Artist!

Guo Man was evidently the latter—she had a High-Strength Martial Artist protecting her.

There was only one answer: Guo Fanghua!

"Guo Liang, my daughter might have achieved slight success in her career, but even if you’re jealous, you cannot behave this way, can you? After all, the aura of a Heavenly Rank Peak Martial Artist is something you simply cannot withstand!"

Crack!

As these words reverberated, a sharp sound echoed through the room.

The chair beneath Guo Liang splintered into pieces.

Guo Liang fell to the floor, a pained expression etched across his face.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Seeing her mother stride in through the doorway, Guo Man looked surprised.

"Hmph! If I didn’t come, who knows what despicable things certain people might do!"

Guo Fanghua was evidently furious. For Guo Liang to use cultivation on a non-Martial Artist family member...

The outcome for him would be a tragic one!

Hearing her mother’s words, Guo Man knew it was best to remain silent; otherwise, she’d be subjected to a lecture.

She could already predict what her mother would say: Why haven’t you started cultivating? With your aptitude, you could surpass me within years...

Fine, Guo Man admitted she was tired of hearing it.

Her mother always repeated the same lines, and she could recite them backwards by now.

Yet, she still felt a bit thrilled by her mother’s appearance.

After all, a Martial Artist’s pressure wasn’t something she could handle on her own.

As for Guo Fanghua’s arrival, every member of the Guo Family in the conference room promptly lowered their heads.

Their bodies and minds trembled uncontrollably.

Guo Fanghua held an unparalleled status within the main branch of the Guo Family.

If Guo Man hadn’t achieved anything, it would’ve been a different matter.

But now, Guo Man had secured a three billion-dollar project—the strongest global collaboration to date.

No one could look down on this young woman anymore.

And all of them had mocked this legendary young CEO just moments ago.

Her mother’s arrival made the air practically freeze.

This left everyone shaking with fear.

"Guo Fanghua, don’t be unreasonable!"

Taking advantage of Guo Fanghua speaking, Guo Liang finally had a chance to catch his breath and utter a retort.

"Oh? I’m being unreasonable? Everyone here felt your Martial Artist aura. I just want to know—what were your intentions in releasing your aura on a family member without cultivation?"
