Chapter 294: The New Dragon Head Was Not Chosen

Now, many people showed disappointment on their faces.

The windfall is gone.

Chen Yao continued, "I already contacted Mr. Jiang Tianyang last night; he promised to come back to offer incense for Mr. Jiang.

When the time comes, he will personally handle Mr. Jiang's inheritance."

This time, Jiang Tianyang didn't, like in the original movie plot, hide in Siam and not return. In the end, Chen Yao arranged a three‑step resignation‑and‑yield, and a group went to Siam specifically to invite him back.

After all, in the movie plot, although the leaders of Great Prosperity had varying degrees of closeness, there was no small power group like Chen Mo and his companions.

Not to mention that he refuses to be Great Prosperity's Dragon Head; even if he wanted to return now, he'd still have to see whether Chen Mo and the others are willing!

If anyone among Chen Mo's group wants to be Dragon Head, there would be no chance for him.

"Since Mr. Jiang's inheritance issue has been resolved, should we discuss the selection of the next Dragon Head?"

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Chen Yao and Tai Zi's expressions froze.

They thought Chen Mo's words indicated he intended to become Dragon Head.

Chen Mo looked at the two, a slight curl at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I propose that Ji Ge could be our Great Prosperity's new Dragon Head."

A thunderous voice rang out on the flat ground!

Everyone in the main hall was completely stunned.

How could they propose Ji Ge?

Everyone of any standing in Great Prosperity basically knows what kind of character Chui Shui Ji is.

He is greedy for money, lecherous, timid, and famously a fence‑sitter.

No one had considered Chui Shui Ji for the new Dragon Head.

Even Chen Yao and Tai Zi never saw Chui Shui Ji as a threat.

They thought the ones who would contest Jiang Tianyang for the Dragon Head position would be Chen Mo or Han Bin.

After all, Chen Mo has money, Han Bin has territory.

Within Great Prosperity, only Tai Zi has the strength and reputation to oppose them alone.

After all, Tai Zi now wields the double‑flower red staff and bears the title "Great Prosperity War God."

Tai Zi's strength is indeed considerable.

But Chen Mo's move to put forward Chui Shui Ji left them baffled.

In fact, Chen Mo's proposal of Chui Shui Ji as Dragon Head was largely to cause trouble for Chen Yao and the others.

Besides, he truly thinks Chui Shui Ji would make a good Dragon Head.

Given Chui Shui Ji's temperament, once he becomes Dragon Head he will definitely be a figurehead. As for affairs of other halls, unless they directly involve him, he will never intervene on his own.

What Chen Mo needs is exactly such a figurehead Dragon Head.

"I think it's fine. Ji Ge has the seniority and achievements; he's very suitable to be our new Dragon Head."

"Indeed, I also think Ji Ge is suitable."

All of a sudden, Han Bin and his group all raised their hands in agreement, and Da Fei, ever eager for a spectacle, began to demand that Chui Shui Ji treat them.

"No!" Chui Shui Ji sprang to his feet.

"I can't be Dragon Head; pick someone else! Don't pick me!"

"I'm already this old; after a few more years I'll retire, I absolutely can't be Dragon Head, so pick someone else!"

Choose Mo Ge, Mo Ge is suitable!

He's young, handsome, has money, and his subordinates are strong enough!

Everyone, choose Mo Ge!

He was getting a bit impatient.

As a famously seasoned slick of Great Prosperity, Chen Yao and Tai Zi's calculations toward him were crystal clear even without saying them, and could be guessed roughly.

Last night, right after Jiang Tiansheng's sudden death, Chen Yao and Tai Zi immediately got in touch with Jiang Tianyang.

Jiang Tianyang hadn't appeared in Gangdao for many years, yet they could contact him so easily; it would be strange if there were no hidden dealings among them!

If he didn't know the feud between Chen Mo and Jiang Tiansheng, he would now suspect whether Chen Yao killed Jiang Tiansheng!

The Dragon Head position is good: great power, a famous title, and it can make money.

But you have to have the fate to sit in it!

Therefore, he decisively threw the Dragon Head position onto Chen Mo's head.

You fight it out, I'm not getting involved!

"Ji Ge is right; I agree that Mo Ge should be Dragon Head."

"We also agree!"

The leaders said nothing, but Chui Shui Ji's proposal sparked a lot of support from the big factions.

The impact of Chen Mo's twenty‑billion‑dollar influx at the last Triad Society conference is still swirling in their minds!

Having a Dragon Head who can make money is definitely the happiest thing.

Now across Great Prosperity, who doesn't envy the treatment of Chen Mo's subordinates!

If Chen Mo became Dragon Head and raised the salary level of all Great Prosperity to match his subordinates', that would be heavenly beautiful.

However, Chen Mo will not become this Dragon Head.

Chen Mo slowly stood up under Chen Yao and Tai Zi's displeased looks.

"Thank you, brothers, for your regard and recognition."

"But I, Chen Mo, consider my seniority still shallow, my experience insufficient, and thus unable to bear such a great responsibility.

Everyone should choose someone else!"

When Chen Yao and Tai Zi heard Chen Mo's refusal, they just exhaled in relief, and then saw Gao Jin stand up.

"I think the Crown Prince is the most suitable for the Dragon Head position! He is our Great Prosperity's double‑flower red staff, the rightful Dragon Head, with a legitimate claim."

Many senior members also nodded.

Gao Jin did this because Chen Mo signaled it.

There was no other meaning; he simply wanted to disgust Chen Yao and the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince is now in a dilemma.

Agree, what about Jiang Tianyang?

Disagree, the Crown Prince has no suitable reason!

Chen Yao can think of a suitable reason for him, but he cannot openly help the Crown Prince refuse!

Under Chen Mo's hint, Han Bin, Thirteen Sister, and a few others hurried to flatter the Crown Prince, acting as if they insisted he become the Dragon Head.

Amid the crowd's uproar, the Crown Prince's face grew redder with anxiety.

He wants to refuse, but truly cannot find a suitable reason.

"Bang!" the Crown Prince slammed the table.

"No, I can't be the Dragon Head!"

"I… I can't, I only train in combat, cut people; find someone else to be Dragon Head!"

Seeing the Crown Prince embarrassed, Chen Yao quickly tried to smooth things over.

"I think we should put the Dragon Head selection on hold for now!"

Mr. Jiang just had an incident last night; it happened suddenly, so it's understandable that everyone didn't think it through.

Choosing a new Dragon Head is a major matter for our Great Prosperity and cannot be rushed.

How about we first take care of Mr. Jiang's affairs, then consider the new Dragon Head later?

"Okay!" Chui Shui Ji was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

"I agree!" The Crown Prince was the second.

Chen Mo, having had his fun, smiled at Chen Yao and also raised his hand in agreement.

Chen Yao looked at Chen Mo's smile, feeling a vague chill inside.

When Chen Mo raised his hand, many leaders also followed suit.

This is prestige!

Although some leaders aren't in their small group, they still have to decide based on Chen Mo's group's attitude.

The matter of selecting a new Dragon Head was thus postponed.

Chen Yao decided that after the meeting adjourns, he must immediately contact Jiang Tianyang.

Regarding whether Jiang Tianyang should return to take over Great Prosperity, he needs to discuss it further with Jiang Tianyang.
