Chapter 691: Extra 42

A deathly silence fell over the conference room, broken only by the faint hum of the central air conditioning.
The executives, who had been as boisterous as market vendors just moments before, were now eerily silent.
"I once clearly stated these words to you all in the guild's underground hall, before that sacred altar:
Father has now transcended the shackles of mortals.
He is even the being who will break free from Earth's constraints and rule the stars!"
The subtext of these words was a declaration that Su Hao was a living, true god.
Not a metaphor, not an exaggeration, but a genuine, literal god!
"Therefore, you can view the current turmoil as the growing pains before a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis,
as a necessary step in achieving that grand ambition, crossing insurmountable barriers."
Someone cautiously probed.
"You mean, the Chairman's sudden collapse this time was also part of this grand process?"
At this moment, Su Yun's voice suddenly rose, echoing in the empty conference room, carrying an almost fanatical, intimidating force.
"That's right! This is the path of transformation, shedding the mortal body!
How fragile the mortal body is, trapped by birth, aging, sickness, and death.
At that time, Father will return to this mortal world with his supreme holy body!
All who witness it will prostrate themselves in submission!"
"!!??"
Everyone in the conference room was stunned!
Panic and absurdity intertwined, and the discussions among the executives instantly erupted.
"He will return to this mortal world with his supreme holy body!"
They recognized every single word, but put them together, they exploded in their minds like thunder!
What did this mean?
Was it an excuse for high-level political infighting, or the delirious ravings of someone completely delirious?
“Three months.”
Su Yun held up three fingers, instantly silencing the clamor in the room.
“Everyone just needs to put their minds at ease and wait patiently for three months.
When the deadline arrives in three months, you will see my father again.
By then, his appearance may be different from what you all know…”
“…”
All the executives gaped, as if they had been collectively choked, unable to utter a sound.
This was truly unbelievable.
If anyone else had said such a thing in this setting, they would have immediately called security to throw them out the window.
But standing before them, speaking with such conviction, was not a street charlatan,
but Su Hao's own flesh and blood, the son on whom the chairman placed so much hope, Su Yun!
The heir with exceptional intelligence and the same ruthless methods as the chairman!
Su Yun stood ramrod straight, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
He didn't seem to be fabricating lies to escape his current predicament.
He was serious!
"However, that sacred process involves top-secret information from the highest levels of the group and cannot be disclosed to everyone.
Please understand.
Furthermore, over the next three months, all of you senior executives will need to continue to operate the group's various affairs prudently."
Furthermore, if any unscrupulous organization or force tries to inquire about my father's whereabouts, or if any media reports create unnecessary noise...
Please use all available resources to resolutely deal with this situation and prevent any negative public opinion from escalating!
