Cultivation Online

Chapter 986 - Confronting the Yu Family.

"Stay here with me." Meifeng said to Meixiu in a low voice when she tried to follow Yuan into the room.

She nodded and stood at the door with Meifeng.

BANG!

"Yu Tian!" Yu Yong slammed the desk with his fist and roared.

"How dare you make us wait this long for you! You should have came back the moment we called you!"

Yuan casually took a seat at the opposite end of the table where he could see everyone and said, "I thought you wanted me out of the family, so why do you suddenly want me back so badly? You were the one who abandoned me."

"So what if we kicked you out of the house? You're already an adult." Tang Lee sneered.

"An adult and a paralyzed cripple who couldn't move without the help of others, yet you still abandoned me."

"Enough. We didn't call you here just so you can bicker with your parents. Yu Tian, you have an obligation to continue working for the Yu Family's company." One of the people there suddenly said.

Yuan turned to look at him and asked with raised eyebrows, "Who are you?"

"I'm David Swanson, an investor and a manager at your father's company, and we're all here to make sure that you'll continue your obligation to your family."

"Father? He may have adopted me, but he's not my father. He's a disgrace to the real fathers out there that care for their own family."

"How dare you!" Yu Yong fumed after hearing Yuan's insults. In fact, this is his first time being ridiculed by Yuan.

"I don't care about your opinions. He is still legally your father, and your contract is still in effect."

"Contract? What contract? I don't remember signing anything." Yuan said in a surprised voice.

"This is the contract." The man immediately retrieved a piece of paper and showed it to Yuan, almost as though he had it prepared beforehand.

Yuan took a moment to read the contract that basically said that he was required to perform at least two concerts every week until he is 60 years old, and that all of the money he earns will be given to the Yu Family.

It was basically a slave contract that would work Yuan to the bones without giving him any in return.

Yuan laughed out loud after seeing his signature on the paper.

"Seriously? You went out of your way to forge this nonsense? Sorry, but I don't feel like working for the Yu Family, no matter what the contract says." Yuan casually ripped the contract to shreds and tossed it into the air.

The entire room turned silent after his little bold action.

"Did you think that you would be able to escape from us by ripping that piece of paper?" Tang Lee suddenly sneered in contempt.

"That was only a copy. However, even if you managed to destroy the original, we have plenty of ways to make you submit."

"Oh? What do you have in mind? Please share with us." Yuan smiled.

"For starters, we can make your life miserable. No matter what job you decide to take, we have the power to fire you on the same day that you joined."

"Without having any sources of income, you'll have to start begging in the streets sooner or later."

"If I can't find an ordinary job, I can simply sell my music talents to other companies. I'm sure that they will accept me even if you threaten them. After all, I am worth a lot of money." Yuan shrugged.

"Or I can just play Cultivation Online and earn money that way. The game is pretty popular, so I should be able to earn some decent money from it."

"That kind of threat is hardly a threat at all." He even chuckled.

Tang Lee narrowed her eyes at him and continued, "We can easily throw you into jail and let you live the rest of your pathetic life there."

"Prison, huh? That doesn't sound too bad, considering that I already have plenty of experience being a slave for the Yu Family."

Tang Lee gritted her teeth in frustration, feeling as though she was not dealing with the Yu Tian that she was so familiar with.

'What the hell happened to this bastard? It hasn't been that long since he started living without the support of our Yu Family. How can someone change so drastically in such a short time? He's no longer the coward and pushover that we once knew!'

Everyone in the room realized that they were no longer dealing with the same person that they used to take advantage of.

However, this didn't shake their resolve, and they continued to threaten Yuan.

When nothing was working, Yu Yong suddenly stood up and shouted, "That's it! I have had enough of this shit! Yu Tian! You will come back and start working for us again! If you don't, we will not punish you! Instead, we will make Yu Rou bear the responsibilities!"

Yuan frowned after hearing this, which caused the people in the room to smile, as they realized that they'd just found his weakness.

"You're going to punish your own blood because I refuse to work for you? What kind of parent are you?" Yuan spoke in a cold voice.

"You can only blame yourself for pushing us this far! If you work for us, nobody will get hurt!" Tang Lee said with a grin on her face.

"Yu Rou is currently a member of the faction 'Eternal Lotuses', right? If we pressure their leader, Bai Lianhua, who is still young and inexperienced, she will definitely be kicked out of the faction. Once that happens, we can do whatever we want to her and there's nothing you can do about it!"

The people there increased the pressure on Yuan.

'Yuan…' Meixiu stared at his face with a worried look on her face. However, she was not worried about Yuan. It was the others that she was worried about.

Yuan suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

'In the end, this is how things will go, huh?' He sighed inwardly.

When he opened his eyes again, they were completely golden, and the atmosphere in the room immediately changed.
