Imperial Crown Island! Silver Dragon, Phoenix, and Mountain Lord Want to Be Captain of the Imperial Crown?
This is the Solomon Islands, located in the South Pacific Ocean.
Lin Ying smiled and said, "The largest of them, the luxury resort island, Holy Spirit Island —oh no, it should now be called [ Imperial Crown Island ]—has already been purchased by me in full, with permanent ownership."
The eyes of everyone at the Imperial Crown gradually widened.
Wangsun, his nerves on edge, asked, "How much for this island?"
Lin Ying said casually, "Not much, just one billion."
"One billion?" The wealthy Wangsun was furious. "Even if Imperial Crown Commercial's current valuation exceeds 100 billion and its net assets are 50 billion, at this rate of extravagance, Imperial Crown's accumulated wealth over the years will be squandered sooner or later!"
Is this how you speak to the supreme ruler of the Imperial Crown?
Lin Ying spoke coldly with a stern face. He could be nice to the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord, but there was no need to fawn over the other core members of the Imperial Crown, since their current value was pitifully small.
The Wangsun were instantly extinguished.
"What the hell are you talking about, buying a resort island?" Mountain Lord asked, getting to the heart of the matter.
Lin Ying changed his expression dramatically, speaking with fiery enthusiasm, "Our Imperial Crown's Crown executives will be working hard for the team for many more years to come. How can we function without a relaxing and stress-relieving resort?"
Upon hearing this, everyone became interested.
The Yuejing asked, "How big is the island? What are some fun places to visit?"
Lin Ying spoke eloquently, "Spanning 200 hectares, the island boasts a manor villa area, a large amusement park, a luxurious swimming pool clubhouse, an open-air cinema... all kinds of entertainment facilities are readily available."
Lin Ying smiled and said, "It will become a private paradise exclusively for the senior management of our Imperial Crown."
"Sounds pretty ordinary," Silver Dragon said dismissively, picking his nose. "These kinds of entertainment facilities can be found in any coastal city in China, why go to all this trouble?"
Lin Ying chuckled and said, "Old vice-captain, don't forget, our Imperial Crown Team bought this island outright and has permanent ownership. It's Imperial Crown Island, the kingdom of Imperial Crown's Crown."
" The Imperial Crown Kingdom?" Silver Dragon asked suspiciously.
"Yes!" Lin Ying said enticingly, "In our Imperial Crown Kingdom, you can do whatever you want without being bound by the laws of the country. You can freely indulge your desires."
"How will you vent?" Yuejing asked.
" Yuejing, don't you like conquering outstanding men? I'll spend a fortune to invite top male celebrities from home and abroad to visit the island," Lin Ying said meaningfully. "You can conquer them as you please."
Yuejing's face flushed, and her breathing became rapid.
"Then you use a hidden camera to record the entire process of the little boy's Yuejing conquering the man, keeping it as leverage. Later, when you've squeezed all the usefulness out of him, you can use the recording to ruin his reputation."
Phoenix, though seemingly gentle, spoke with a hidden glint in her eye, "You Nurarihyon, am I right?"
Lin Ying's smile froze.
The Yuejing suddenly realized what was happening and broke out in a cold sweat.
Lin Ying's eyes gradually darkened. "Vice Captain Phoenix, although I am Hundred Demons Nurarihyon, I have long regarded everyone in the Imperial Crown as family. How could I possibly do such a heinous and despicable thing?"
Phoenix exposed her, "You just want to use this resort island to preserve evidence of the unbridled desires of the core members of the Imperial Crown, so you can use it to blackmail them later. We're all Qiannian foxes, why are you playing these ghost stories?"
Lin Ying's face turned cold. Among the Three Champion Emperors, the most troublesome one was not the wealthy Silver Dragon, nor the Mountain Lord who came from the underworld, but the Phoenix who could see through the wickedness of people's hearts!
The people of Imperial Crown felt a chill run down their spines. There's no such thing as a free lunch. It was indeed a case of a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—they had no good intentions.
If they indulge their desires on the resort island and Nurarihyon of it, they will definitely become slaves to Nurarihyon's control and oppression for the rest of their lives!
" Phoenix Vice Captain, you've misinterpreted my good intentions, so there's nothing I can do about it," Lin Ying said nonchalantly. "But I've already unilaterally decided that the Imperial Crown 10th Anniversary offline gathering will be held on Imperial Crown Island."
Phoenix sneered.
"The reason everyone agreed to the offline gathering was because they could see that bastard Imperial Emperor. Now that you've banished Imperial Emperor from the team, is there still any need to hold a tenth-anniversary gathering?"
Lin Ying said in an unfriendly tone, " Phoenix Vice Captain, are you genuinely returning to Imperial Crown, or do you have ulterior motives?"
"Of course, there are ulterior motives," Phoenix readily admitted.
Lin Ying's eyes darkened, and alarm bells rang in his mind. He knew that Phoenix's easy return to the Imperial Crown must be for some ulterior motive.
Could you tell me a thing or two?
"A family cannot be without a head for a day, and a team cannot be without a leader for a day," the heart-shaped diamond pendant on her Phoenix earlobe sparkled. Pointing her thumb behind her stunning face, she exuded an air of dominance, declaring, "I, the leader of the Herald of Dawn Alliance, will serve as the Captain of the Imperial Crown."
" Captain of the Imperial Crown?"
Lin Ying was stunned.
Even the Imperial Crown was stunned.
"Hey, big-breasted girl, the one destined to become the Captain of the Imperial Crown is me!" Silver Dragon said impatiently. "The leader of the Chen Dragon Alliance is the one destined to become the Captain of the Imperial Crown."
"Damn it, you two, don't argue with me!" Mountain Lord savagely shouted. "I, the leader of the Yin Tiger Alliance, am the man who will become the Captain of the Imperial Crown!"
Everyone was utterly astonished by the Imperial Crown.
Nine years ago, the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord betrayed the Imperial Emperor. Nine years later, at his first meeting leading his team back, he immediately declared his desire to become the Captain of the Imperial Crown. Is this scientifically sound? Is this reasonable?
Lin Ying's eyes flickered with interest as she asked, "Why do the three former vice-captains want to become the Captain of the Imperial Crown?"
"There's no need to explain this," Phoenix said, her eyes filled with hatred. "We will take revenge on the Imperial Emperor, leading our team as Captain of the Imperial Crown, and destroy the Sovereign Dominion Team, created by the Imperial Emperor's alternate account, Exalted Emperor!"
Lin Ying chuckled, "Three veteran vice-captains, Sovereign Dominion internal and external difficulties and is on the verge of disbanding. Our Imperial Crown doesn't need to mobilize a large force to avenge ants that are not even worthy of being called opponents."
"Don't you understand the principle of eliminating the root of the problem?" Phoenix said sternly. "As long as the Imperial Emperor is alive, Sovereign Dominion has the potential to seize the Imperial Crown and seek revenge."
Lin Ying dismissed it, saying, "With the betrayal of the entire Imperial Crown's team, plus the betrayal of the three former vice-captains, the Imperial Emperor has definitely gone insane, becoming a walking corpse, and is not far from death."
"You're not the Imperial Emperor, how do you know he couldn't handle the betrayal and went insane?" the Silver Dragon pressed. "Or did you install cameras in the Imperial Emperor?"
Lin Ying was speechless for a moment, after all, the above were all reasonable guesses he made based on his understanding of the Imperial Emperor.
The Mountain Lord made a harsh statement.
"Damn it! We, the Three Champion Emperors, are returning to Imperial Crown solely to avenge Imperial Emperor and destroy the Sovereign Dominion Team. If you don't agree, we'll immediately withdraw from Imperial Crown."
Lin Ying thought to herself that she had underestimated the Three Champion Emperors's hatred for the Imperial Emperor. He was determined to drive the Imperial Emperor to his death before he would stop. However, having seen through the three men's intentions, she could take advantage of this situation to make a big move against them.
"I can promise the three former vice-captains that I will help you take revenge on the Imperial Emperor and destroy Sovereign Dominion, but the three former vice-captains, you should at least sign a contract with Imperial Crown and give me some guarantee."
Lin Ying sent three signed contracts to the group chat.
When Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord clicked on it, he gasped in shock.
