Ten entrepreneurs? Or those on the Forbes list?
The parents who were about to leave their seats carefully put them back and sat down again, their eyes filled with anticipation.
After all, what was the purpose of sending their children to an elite school?
Wasn't it to let their children mingle with high society, to have broader connections when they grew up, and to achieve success smoothly without detours?
Those on the Forbes list were all super tycoons, rich beyond measure.
To have contact with any one of them was a great resource for connections, let alone ten at once. Even if there was no substantial development, leaving a slight impression would be good!
It was precisely because of this that the parents were full of anticipation for Logan's actions.
Things progressed as Logan had predicted.
He then directly connected with the ten wealthy individuals by phone, asking them to greet the parents present and say a few words.
No one was foolish. Everyone could see that these ten wealthy individuals were being brought in temporarily for show.
After all, Logan had lost three consecutive times. If he didn't make a temporary recovery, his entire plan would be ruined.
Although it was temporary, it still attracted the attention of the parents.
These ten wealthy individuals were genuinely on the list, not fake, proving that Logan had not deceived them.
Especially when they heard the speeches of the tycoons, the parents were envisioning their children conversing with them in the future. What a wonderful thing that would be!
In an instant, the parents' emotions were re-ignited, and they unanimously supported Logan.
Below the stage.
In the crowd.
Peng Ying looked at Lu Ming with a half-smile and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, it seems you're going to lose to Logan. No matter how good your martial arts are or how wonderfully you play the piano, in the face of money, everything is like dog shit. Look at the eyes of these parents, they're all shining. Lu Ming, do you have any more tricks up your sleeve?"
Even Peng Ying felt that Lu Ming couldn't contend with Logan.
After all, Logan's move was too desperate.
He couldn't defeat Lu Ming himself, so he gathered a large group of wealthy friends to deal with Lu Ming. What was this? A group fight?
On stage, Logan looked at Lu Ming with a wicked smile and deliberately asked, "Mr. Lu, are you still going to defeat me this time?"
It was seemingly a question, but in reality, it was the greatest contempt and sarcasm towards Lu Ming.
The implication was: Lu Ming, you are a pauper. In the face of money, you are nothing! Who are you to fight me?
All the parents understood the subtext and cast looks of disdain at Lu Ming.
Yes, no matter how capable you are, what good is it without money?
The parents present were all mercenary. They wouldn't care about your literary or martial arts skills. Without money, you were nothing to them.
Everyone thought Lu Ming would definitely lower his head and pretend to be dead.
But who would have thought.
Lu Ming slightly raised his head, looked at the stage, and said loudly, "Mr. Logan, since you want me to defeat you again, it would be a shame if I didn't comply with your invitation."
Oh?
Such audacity! Not only did he not avoid the question, but he also confronted it head-on?
Who gave you the courage?
The parents shook their heads, expressing their lack of understanding for Lu Ming's behavior.
"How dare he, a pauper, say such a thing? How can he defeat Mr. Logan? He can't even defeat one of the ten wealthy individuals, let alone ten of them joining forces."
"From what I know, this Lu Ming is a live-in son-in-law of the Jiang family in Jinling. The Jiang family is indeed quite wealthy, but compared to these ten tycoons, it's like a drop in the ocean. If the Jiang family can't compete, what about him, a mere live-in son-in-law?"
"I guess he just can't accept defeat."
"Makes sense. He had already won three consecutive matches and was about to corner Logan, but who knew Logan would play such a trick. Lu Ming can't accept defeat, so he's spouting nonsense here."
"Alas, a pitiable poor man."
Everyone looked at Lu Ming with disdain, thinking he was just resorting to empty threats.
Only Peng Ying looked at Lu Ming meaningfully. She always felt that this man was extraordinary and always managed to create miracles. She felt that Lu Ming wasn't just making empty threats but genuinely had a way to defeat Logan.
Subsequently.
Logan couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Lu is truly courageous. Since you've said so, come and try to defeat me then."
Logan had truly locked horns with Lu Ming!
The humiliation of being defeated three times in a row was about to be completely repaid!
Lu Ming showed no fear. He nodded and said, "Logan, do you think it's that great just because you invited the ten wealthy individuals? In fact, they don't understand the environment here, nor do they understand your motives. They only reluctantly agreed to help you out of friendship. But if they truly knew the risks and dangers involved, they might not help you."
Risks and dangers?
Heh heh.
Logan said disdainfully, "Lu Ming, stop spewing nonsense here. If you have the guts, make these ten friends of mine all refuse to help me. Can you do it?"
Can you do it?
Take away the word 'can'!
In front of the Dragon Warlord, there is nothing that cannot be done!
Lu Ming chuckled lightly and stopped wasting his breath on Logan. He took out his phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, a voice from the other end said, "Warlord, what is it?"
Lu Ming said calmly, "Please convey a message to the ten wealthy individuals. Jinling doesn't welcome them, so they should be mindful of their boundaries. Remember to deliver the message in my name."
"Understood. Who are the ten wealthy individuals?"
Then, Lu Ming looked at the list on the stage and read out the names of the ten wealthy individuals one by one, telling them all to the person on the other end of the phone, Xiu Luo.
After Xiu Luo noted down the names, he hung up the phone.
Throughout the entire process, everyone only saw Lu Ming making a phone call and heard his voice. They did not hear the voice on the other end of the line, nor did they hear Xiu Luo's address of "Warlord."
If they had known that the national hero of China, the Dragon Warlord, was sitting before them, they wouldn't have looked down on Lu Ming.
If Logan knew that Lu Ming was the Dragon Warlord, he would probably be so terrified that he wouldn't be able to stand right now!
However, they didn't know.
Logan said sarcastically, "Lu Ming, it's a shame you're not acting in movies. What, can one phone call make all ten of my wealthy friends abandon me? Do you think you are the Jade Emperor or the Buddha? How arrogant of you!"
The parents had the same thoughts.
Lu Ming's absurd and laughable actions in their eyes made them feel even more that he was struggling desperately and resorting to empty threats.
Only Peng Ying looked at Lu Ming with a smile.
Unlike others, who were waiting to see Lu Ming make a fool of himself, Peng Ying was waiting for a miracle to happen.
