When Chen rushed to the school gate, Uncle Qin was waited in a black Rolls Royce. Surprisingly, Lan was in the car as well. She wore a long and fitting dress today. Her voluptuous body was shown perfectly in her tight dress. Her kohl-black hair was like a waterfall flowing down her shoulders. It made her looked extra graceful and elegant. There were a pair of fair and slim legs beneath the dress. Her jade-like skin was so glossy. It was extremely seductive.

“Lan, why are you here?” Chen was really surprised.

“Why can’t I come?” Lan was pouting playfully.

“Yes! Of course, you can tag along! I miss you so much! It was as if I had not seen you for three years.” Chen put on a wide smile.

“You are sweet talking me again!” Lan gave Chen a gaze. However, Lan was the one who felt shocked.

“You… You are Chen?”

“Yes. It’s me!”

Chen smiled and said, “In order not to embarra.s.s you in the upcoming birthday party, I underwent a cosmetic surgery especially for you. How is it? Do you think it’s okay?”

“This… You went too far! I feel like your skin is better than my skin now.!” Lan stared at Chen with her big and dreamy eyes. She could not believe her eyes.

“Please don’t stare at me the way you are staring me right now. I’m afraid that you will fall in love with me.” Chen put on an evil laugh. He tried to divert the topic. Regarding on how his look became better, he had to keep it a secret. He could not afford others to discover the truth behind it.

“Bah! Stop being so narcissistic!” Lan curled her lips and moved her stare away from Chen.

“Sit tight. I’m going to drive now.”

At the front seat, Uncle Qin was smiling happily and said, “She has never been to any antique examination meeting. This is her very first time tagging along. She can’t afford to be late.”

“Uncle Qin!” Lan stomped her feet and pouted playfully. The way that Uncle Qin delivered his words sounded like Lan had decided to tag along because of Chen.

Chen saw what Lan did for him. He was very appeased by it. He decided not to embarra.s.s her. The car was driving towards a mountain that was located at the north. There was a luxurious villa built halfway up the mountain. The ident.i.ty of the owner was very mysterious. This villa served as a place for people from the upper society who really appreciated antiques to gather together and share their thoughts. They could arrange trades if they found anything that they liked. They could even carry out a small auction inside the villa. Uncle Qin helped Chen to contact the right buyers that were interested in his golden jade hairpins. It was his wish to sell the hairpins as soon as possible. They were going to trade today.

“Elder Qin.”

“Good day, Elder Qin!”

“Elder Qin…”

Everyone greeted Uncle Qin once he stepped inside the villa. From here, Chen knew that Uncle Qin was a regular customer here and his reputation was really high. Chen and Lan were shocked as they stepped into the villa. It was like a small museum with different antiques displayed inside the house. All the antiques were authentic.

Chen thought that there was something wrong with his eyes because he saw something weird surrounding the antiques. Soon, he realized every antique emitted some kind of “Qi”. It was one the functions of the Eight Diagrams of G.o.dly Prediction.

Like a person, every antique here had different “Qi”. White, Green, Red, Silver, Gold, and Purple Gold represented the rarity of each antique. Most of the antiques emitted Red and Green “Qi”. There was only one antique that possessed a Golden “Qi”. It was a white jade signet being protected by a double layered bulletproof gla.s.s, placed in the middle of the hall.

“Uncle Qin, What’s so great about that white jade signet?” Chen asked curiously. Lan straightened up her ears because she was interested in it.

“It is a king’s imperial jade signet from ancient Yan country.!”

Suddenly, Uncle Qin straightened up his face and said seriously, “Remember. There’s a rule here. No one is allowed to discuss the price of that white jade signet! The owner will ban those whole talk about its price from stepping into this villa again.”

“Why?” Chen asked curiously.

“Idiot!”

Lan pouted playfully and said, “The white jade signet must mean a lot to the owner. Just like a real man would not allow others to talk about the price of his woman!”

“It is a good metaphor, Ms. Lan. So, that is the answer to your question.” Uncle Qin nodded.

Chen nodded his head as well. He was getting more and more curious about the owner of this villa.

“Elder Qin, you are here, finally!”

A man in a suit and tie walked towards them. There was a man with golden frame gla.s.ses walking on his left side. He looked like a typical elite from the world of business. The one who walked on his right side was a seventy years old man with a pair of thick gla.s.ses on him. His hair was all white. He looked like some kind of nerdy old man who had isolated himself from the real world.

“President Ma. Don’t you trust me? Why did you even bother to bring along Elder w.a.n.g?” Uncle Qin asked jokingly.

“Elder Qin, you misunderstand my intentions. Of course, I trust you with all my heart.”

President Ma quickly explained, “Elder w.a.n.g heard that some antiques from the Tang dynasty would be sold today. He wanted to come here to feast his eyes.”

“Haha. I was just joking. Let me introduce them.”

Uncle Qin laughed and said, “This is President Ma and Mr. w.a.n.g Jianjun.”

Chen and Lan were very shocked when they heard the name w.a.n.g Jianjun.

“No wonder Elder w.a.n.g look so familiar. He is the antique authenticator from the reality show.”

Chen facepalmed himself lightly and realized it immediately. His antique authenticating show had a really high viewers.h.i.+p. Also, his name carried a high reputation. He needed to be very famous for ‘hikikimoris’ like Chen to know about him.

Uncle Qin continued with his introductions, “This is the seller who possesses three pieces of antiques from the Tang dynasty. The one beside him is Ms. Lan from the Lan family.”

When President Ma and Elder w.a.n.g heard that she was from Lan family, they quickly greeted her with pa.s.sion. She was the daughter of the renowned Lan family. Also, she rarely attended any functions. The two of them felt really honored that she was here today. After that, they talked to Chen for the sake of formalities. It was pretty obvious that they treated Chen colder than they did to Lan. The truth was that the both of them looked down on him.

“Alright! Since we know each other now, let’s finish off the deal. This is going to be momentous!” President Ma smiled and his eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation.

“Very well. Please, take a look at them.” Chen took out the three golden jade hairpins from his bag and handed it to them.

“Please. Elder w.a.n.g, have a look first.” President Ma did not dare disrespect Elder w.a.n.g.

Elder w.a.n.g took the hairpins and examined them carefully. He said surprisingly, “These are authentic! These three hairpins came from Tang dynasty! Also, they are well preserved! Such rarity!”

“That is good news!”

President Ma’s face was filled with happiness after he heard Elder w.a.n.g’s words. He said seriously, “Mr. Chen. Since you are introduced by Elder Qin. Let’s get straight to the point. According to the market price, I will pay you ten million for the hairpins. I can transfer the money to you right now!”

“Hehe. I’m not selling it at this price.” Chen shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

Chapter 22: The Climax! The Enemies Meet Again!

What does Chen mean by not selling it? Everyone was stunned when Chen announced that he was not selling it.

“Mr. Chen. What do you mean by that? Ten million is the market price. You can consult Elder Qin if you don’t believe in me.” CEO Ma was getting really nervous.

“Chen, this is the market price. If you choose not to sell it today, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to find any buyers who are willing to pay more to acquire your antiques.” Uncle Qin nodded.

“My price is fifteen million. Take it or leave it? Chen smiled and said calmly.

“What?!”

CEO Ma’s face turned blue and said, “You are being too d.a.m.n greedy!”

“Young man! Don’t get over your head! There should be a limit to your greed! The price that you offered is unreasonable!” Elder w.a.n.g said angrily.

Uncle Qin and Lan were very surprised at Chen’s decision.

“Chen, come with me.” Lan frowned a little and pulled Chen aside.

“What happened to you? Uncle Qin himself told you earlier that the market price for your hairpins is ten million! You were fine with it! Why are you changing your mind right now? Lan asked in a hushed tone.

“Initially, I wanted to sell ten million. But, those two guys were looking at me over the tip of their noses! I would like to teach them a lesson by selling them five million more than the market price,” Chen said calmly.

“I never thought that you would be so fussy over that. But, that’s five million Yuan, not five Yuan! What if CEO Ma outrightly shuts you down?” Lan was shocked, her eyes wide with surprise.

“Hehe… Have you forgotten that I’m Master Chen?”

Chen smiled and said confidently, “I can see that the desire of possessing these hairpins is burning in his eyes. He’s desperate to get the deal done. I’m going to bet with you, that in three minutes, he will definitely accept my offer.”

“Oh, don’t be so sure of yourself! If CEO Ma shakes this deal off, there’s no way anyone else will buy the hairpin from you. Don’t forget that you still owe me a lot of money! If you fail to return me the money, I will make your life miserable!” Lan pouted playfully.

“If I fail to return you the money, I will pay you with my body,” Chen said with a dirty smile on his face.

“You cheeky b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Your mind is getting dirtier!” Lan rolled her eyes at Chen. She opened her mouth to continue scolding him.

Suddenly, CEO Ma walked towards Chen and said, “Mr. Chen. May we talk about the price again?”

“No.”

“CEO Ma, you are quite a reputable person in this society. Also, this is not an appropriate place to bargain. There’s no point bargaining with me.”

CEO Ma had no choice but to accept his offer.

“Fine! So be it! Fifteen million is the price. Give me the number of your bank account.”

“Okay.” Chen smiled and told his account number to him. Online transactions were really convenient. CEO Ma completed it within two minutes.

“I have received the money. These antiques belong to you right now.” Chen shook his cellphone in the air. He was trying to be cool.

“Huff…” CEO Ma sighed. He did get what he wanted but had grossly overpaid for it.

That was the price of looking down on Chen.

Lan was really impressed. Her jaw almost dropped onto the ground. “Master Chen, you are really good at predicting future events. You just earned an extra five million Yuan with no effort.”

“However, I still need more money to be able to fully repay you. You should really consider letting me pay with my body.” Chen put on an evil smile.

“You are definitely looking for some beating.” Lan held up her fist.

“Wow…”

Suddenly, there was a great stir at the front door. Everyone’s attention was being attracted by it.

“F*ck! What a s.h.i.+tty day! I can’t believe I’m seeing those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds everywhere I go.” Chen rolled his eyes.

“They are the destined enemies of your life.” Lan wanted to say something helpful but she couldn’t do anything about it as well.

They were none other than s.h.i.+ Mingwei and Yao Bingbing. They had come with a skinny and little man. Everyone in the hall gathered around them the moment they stepped inside the hall. It made them look like some kind of superstar.

“What happened? They’re basically rolling out a red carpet for them!” Chen asked curiously.

“This must be the big thing that CEO Ma mentioned just now.”

“n.o.body knows how exactly does s.h.i.+ Dafeng gets his hand on the masterpiece artwork; the Frosty Autumn Spring Tree. He brought it here to let everyone enjoy the artwork. It is a national treasure. That is why everyone is so excited about it.” Uncle Qin explained.

“Frosty Autumn Spring Tree?”

Chen was really shocked and surprise, “Is the artwork from the famous event’; The Pursuit of Qiu Xiang by Tang Bohu?

“Yes! He painted it. I’m sure that this artwork is authentic!” Uncle Qin nodded his head and looked at the painting with excitement in his eyes.

“Nice one! It’s gold! Chen stared at the painting and said. He saw the Golden “Qi” surrounding the painting. This meant that the painting was authentic and its rarity could be compared to the white jade signet that he saw earlier on.

“Ei? Here comes the poor farmer!” s.h.i.+ saw Chen as well.

The hatred between s.h.i.+ and Chen was so great to the point that they would be able to recognize each other even when one turned into ash. Despite Chen’s transformation and his radiant, fair skin, s.h.i.+ still managed to recognize him.

“Hehe… I was just wondering how a poor farmer like you would even be accepted through these doors. And then all is made clear when I see that rich a.s.s lady beside you.” s.h.i.+ pointedly spoke to himself.

All of a sudden, everyone moved their attention to Lan. The phrase; rich a.s.s lady carried multiple meanings, but it was obvious that s.h.i.+ was sneering at her.

“What did you just say?’ Chen was getting really angry and he gave s.h.i.+ an ice-cold gaze.

“Hehe..”

“Obviously, you are her boy toy! This is the truth. Please don’t run away from it. You can’t deny the truth.” s.h.i.+ laughed.

“You can mock me or even scold me! But, I warn you, do not mock Lan! If you do that again, I will make sure you will regret being born into this world!” Chen raised his voice menacingly. His eyes were filled with burning fury.

Chen was no ingrate. Lan had helped him multiple times. He would never allow anyone to harm a hair on her head.

“Hehe… Who do you think you are? Want me to say it again? You don’t like it, do you? All the more reason to say it again!”

s.h.i.+ taunted Lan with an arrogant face, “If you want to have a boy toy, choose something better. This is a low-quality poor farmer. I can see that you have unique tastes!”

Upon hearing this, Chen could not hold any longer. However, Lan stepped out for both of them before Chen.

“Listen carefully, s.h.i.+! Firstly, Chen is my good friend, not a boy toy! Secondly, you are the s.h.i.+tty guy! I have unique taste? You’re just an idiot,” Lan’s voice was stern but calm. Still, s.h.i.+ felt as if a thousand arrows had just penetrated his heart.

All the big shots of society were around them. s.h.i.+ had failed to embarra.s.s them. On the contrary, he was embarra.s.sed by them. He could not wait to dig a hole and hide inside it forever.

“Thirdly. I am going to give you a warning. I don’t like causing any unnecessary trouble, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of trouble! If you don’t revise that tone of yours, I will have you blacklisted here as well!” Lan said in an icy-cold voice.

Uncle Qin quickly stood beside Lan after hearing her words. He was firm, steady, like a small mountain.

Chapter 23: There Are Always Bigger Fish In The Ocean!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lan looked like an iron lady, immense power flowing from the tips of her fingers. All she would need to do was give out an order to Uncle Qin to kick s.h.i.+ out of this place. Everyone was very impressed by her rarely-seen authoritative visage. There was a saying, the quiet one always sneaks up on you. Lan rarely spoke her mind to the public. This was a jaw dropping act for everyone. Everyone in the villa knew the strength of Uncle Qin. Thus, no one dared to say another word. Chen was really curious about Uncle Qin’s combat power. How was it possible for him to stun everyone with his presence? At Chen’s thought, the netherspirit battlescouter took action. A line of blue words popped up.

Cultivation: Pinnacle stage of physical phase

Health: 3000

Combat power: 3000

“What the f*ck! He is so d.a.m.n powerful!” Chen felt a sudden terror clutching his heart.

He knew that Uncle Qin was no ordinary person, but he did not expect him to be that powerful. There were four stages of our bodies; the early stage, middle stage, later stage, and the pinnacle stage. Chen was still in the early stage with only hundred combat power. Uncle Qin could squash him easily like an ant. Even if everyone in the villa gathered their strength to fight against him, they would probably be blown away.

“Hold on! There’s one more elite here!”

The battlescouter refocused on the shorty who was slowly walked to the side of s.h.i.+ and stood against Uncle Qin. He looked small and skinny, but the “Qi” around him was no lesser compared to Uncle Qin. Also, Uncle Qin was known as the Stone Buddha. His “Qi” was as firm as a mountain and as steady as a giant rock. On the other hand, the shorty’s “Qi” was rather vicious. It was like a venomous snake that was ready to strike at any time; a scene that could send s.h.i.+vers down to one’s spine.

“Uncle Jing!” s.h.i.+ Mingwei greeted him respectfully.

“Master, don’t your worry. I’m here to protect you. No one will dare to touch you.” He said confidently, his face was filled with arrogance.

Chen was really curious towards his combat power. He did a quick check on him.

Ding!

Cultivation: Later stage of physical phase

Health: 1000

Combat power: 1000

Chen rolled his eyes and roasted him secretly, “What a r.e.t.a.r.d! He is so much weaker than Uncle Qin! How dare he stand against Uncle Qin! It seems like he has a death wis.h.!.+”

Just as things seemed to escalate out of control, a man walked between the two of them. He was a middle aged man who appeared to be in his forties. His eyebrows were minutely arched. He looked incredibly sharp. It was as if there were tigers and dragons walking beside him. The aura of an elite master spilled out of his body.

“Master Tian!”

“Master Tian….”

All of them suddenly bowed down and greeted him. There was fear in their eyes.

Ding!

Cultivation: Early stage of Qi refining

Health: 5000

Combat power: 5000

“What the f*ck! Who is this guy? He’s even more powerful than Uncle Qin! I guess there is always someone better than you!” Chen was floored.

“Master Tian!” Uncle Qin an experienced elite in Jianghu. He put his hands together and greeted him.

“Elder Qin, you have shown me too much courtesy. I’m just a junior. I don’t deserve the t.i.tle master from you.” Murong Tian put his hands together and said. He was very humble and acted like a true gentleman.

Mu Rongtian was so powerful yet humble. This was definitely a rare sight! Chen was getting slightly touched by his humility. He even started to like him. However, everything changed the next second. Chen realized that his judgment was wrong.

Mu turned around and gave the shorty a deathly gaze and shouted, “If you don’t want to die, I suggest you to kneel down in front of Elder Qin and beg for an apology!” A powerful presence gushed out like a tsunami abruptly.

The heart of the shorty was being clenched up. He felt like a deadly beast was staring at him right now and his life would end at any moment. The fear of death quickly filled his mind. Without a single doubt, the shorty knew that Mu could easily kill him. He had to choose between pride and survival. Well, even an idiot knew the answer to this question.

*POM!*

The shorty’s leg turned into jelly and he crumbled to the ground. He said, “Elder Qin… I’m truly sorry! I disregarded the Jianghu’s rules and caused you offense. I hope that you can forgive me.”

Looking at what happened right in front of their eyes, s.h.i.+ Mingwei and s.h.i.+ Dafeng were truly embarra.s.sed. They had spent a lot of money to hire this shorty to protect them. He had boasted about how powerful he was in Jianghu. But, now he was acting like a dog. The exact opposite of what he bragged about earlier on.

“That’s ok.” Uncle Qin had fully relaxed his body and was already walking away.

The shorty did not dare stand up. All he did was to stare at Mu.

“I don’t care how you; Jing Fei, roll in other cities. When you are here in Green Vine city, you must obey the rules here. If not, I’ll be the first one to kill you!” Mu’s voice was still really powerful and ice-cold. The shorty was stunned for the second time.

Originally, the shorty’s name was Jing Fei. He was from Yun Chuan city which was located to the southwest of Green Vince city. Also, he was a highly successful professional thief. They called him the Thief King. The reason he changed his name and laid low was that he had too much heat on him from the law. Now, he worked as a personal security guard. He never expected that his true ident.i.ty would be discovered by Mu the moment he stepped into Green Vine city.

“Alright! This matter ends here.”

Mu calmed himself down and said, “I came here today to feast my eyes on the Frosty Autumn Spring Tree artwork. Please do not disappoint me.”

“Master Tian, rest a.s.sured, the painting that we bring here today was drawn by Tang Bohu himself!” s.h.i.+ Dafeng held the scrolled up painting and smiled.

“Someone, please prepare me a long table!” Mu commanded and people started to prepare it for him immediately.

Since there was still some time before the showcase, Chen walked to Uncle Qin and asked, “Who is this Master Tian?”

“He is the owner of this villa. It’s best that you leave it at that. Don’t burden yourself with the secrets of powerful people.” Uncle Qin said.

“Uncle Qin, please tell me, my curiosity is killing me.”

“Alright. I’ll just say this, and we’ll leave it at that. He controls the Jianghu of Green Vine city.” That was the last thing that Uncle Qin said. He showed no signs of speaking any further about it.

Chen understood everything when Uncle Qin mentioned Jianghu. In other words, Mu was the underground king of Green Vine city.

“Murong…” It seemed that this was the first time Lan heard about him. Her dreamy eyes were moving around. Chen wondered what she was thinking about.

“Alright. Everyone, please gather around.” s.h.i.+ Dafeng cleared his throat with his hand holding the painting scroll. He was standing proudly at the side of the table. s.h.i.+ Mingwei and Yao Bingbing were standing behind him. They were enjoying the attention given by the public. It made them really proud. On the other hand, Jing Fei looked for a corner and stayed there. He did not dare to show himself anymore.

Finally, this was the moment that everyone was waiting for. Even non-antique lovers like Chen and Lan had their eyes wide open and antic.i.p.ated the showcasing of the national treasure; the Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting. However, Chen’s stare was different than others. Others had filled their eyes with appreciation, but Chen had filled his eyes with an evil glint. It was pretty obvious that something bad would happen to the s.h.i.+ family.

Chapter 24: Riiiiip!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

So, CEO Ma had to pay extra five million for looking down at Chen. He was going to make s.h.i.+ and Bing to pay even more for what they did to Lan. Without a doubt, the both of them will suffer greatly. Also, Chen did mention that he was going to make s.h.i.+ regret his words. The real drama was going to begin now!

“I’m sorry for the long wait. Now, let me show you the Frosty Autumn Spring tree artwork…” s.h.i.+ Dafeng laughed proudly.

However, Chen interrupted him when he was about to unfurl the painting scroll.

“Boss s.h.i.+! That has got to be a replica!” Chen said loudly.

Chen’s words were like a bomb that triggered everybody’s nerves. All of them had come here to purposely feast their eyes on the painting. It would be a b.u.mmer if they found out that the painting was a replica. Lan and Uncle Qin were very shocked after hearing what Chen just said to the crowd. They had no idea what was Chen trying to do this time.

“Bulls.h.i.+t! Everyone, please don’t listen to this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

s.h.i.+ Dafeng frowned and shouted angrily, “I spent two hundred million on this painting! I even p.a.w.ned my jewelry shop to the bank! How is it possible that this painting is a replica?!”

Chen confidently said, “Let’s make a bet. I’m going to lay down twenty million for this bet. I bet; that this painting, is a replica.”

“Who do you think you are? You are just a boy toy. You’re not even worthy of making bets with me!” s.h.i.+ Dafeng said angrily.

“Am I not worthy, or have you no b.a.l.l.s?” Chen laughed.

“What do you mean, I don’t have b.a.l.l.s?! This must be a joke! I can even put down my life as bet! Twenty million is just a small number! The question is, do you even have that kind of money?” s.h.i.+ Dafeng said condescendingly.

He was one hundred and twenty percent sure that he had the authentic painting with him. Still, Chen was pulling off this stupid stunt!

“Open up your pig’s eyes and look carefully!” Chen took out his cellphone, opened up his banking application and said, “My remaining balance is twenty million and nine hundred forty thousand! Do you have the b.a.l.l.s to bet with me?”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng was speechless when he saw Chen’s bank account. Everybody in the hall was very shocked as well. They did not expect a poorly dressed young man to have so much money in his account. Without a doubt, most of the shock in the villa went to Bing. Wait, frightened was a better word to describe her current state.

A few days ago, she was already regretting about her breaking up with Chen when she knew that Chen had six million in his account. Looking at twenty million in his account, she felt like she wanted to commit suicide.

“Yes! Of course, I’m going to bet with you!”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng calmed himself down. Greed quickly filled him up. All he could see now were dollar signs. He said, “I totally wouldn’t mind receiving twenty million from you. I have no reason to reject you. Master Tian is here. You’ll have to pay up, there’s nowhere for you to go.”

“Well, I would like to invite Master Tian as our witness.” Chen put his hands together and said. His tone was neither aggressive nor conciliatory.

“No problem at all.” Mu nodded. He sensed that Chen was being playful. “This young man is either an idiot or the real deal,” he thought.

“Chen… What are you trying to do? You’re creating a bigger mess now!” Lan looked at Chen and said nervously.

“That’s right! You are being too impulsive at your quick judgement. He spent two hundred million on that painting. It’s impossible that the painting is a replica.” Uncle Qin was very worried about Chen as well.

“Don’t worry. I know exactly what I am doing.”

Chen smiled and said casually, “Boss s.h.i.+. Can I please have a quick examination on your painting?”

“Erm?”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng hesitated briefly, and then, he handed over the painting to Chen and said, “Master Tian is here. Even you won’t be doing anything under his watch.”

“Relax, I’m just going to take a quick look at it. I’m not going to try anything.” Chen moved his side lips upward. An evil smile could be seen.

He slowly unrolled the painting. Everyone included Mu opened their eyes wide to take a look at the beauty of the precious painting. But, everyone was stunned the next second.

Riiiip!

Without saying a word, Chen tore the painting into pieces in front of the crowd.

He even spat on it and said condescendingly, “How dare you say that this piece of garbage is the real deal!?”

Silence quickly filled the hall. The whole villa was dead silent. Not even the craziest person on this earth would expect Chen to destroy the painting. The acc.u.mulated wealth of s.h.i.+ family was three hundred million. He had to use up all his liquid capital and also p.a.w.n the jewelry shop to the bank to get two hundred million to buy the painting. Technically speaking, Chen just tore two hundred million Yuan into pieces.

“S-Son of the b.i.t.c.h!! I’m going to kill you!! Kill you!!”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng was like a wild boar that had received a jab in the b.u.t.thole. He was basically charging at Chen to take his life.

“Boss s.h.i.+! Stop!”

Mu shouted, “No fights are allowed here! Those are the rules!”

“I…”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng was looking ferocious. Even if he had ten guts, there was no way that he would dare to disobey Mu’s command.

“Master Tian! This son of the b.i.t.c.h just destroyed my precious painting! You saw it yourself! You have to make sure that my justice is served.” s.h.i.+ Dafeng said angrily.

“Don’t you worry. I will deal with this matter.”

Mu nodded, turned to Chen and said in a deep voice, “You have destroyed s.h.i.+’s Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting. You need to pay for his loss.”

Lan and Uncle Qin were getting really nervous when they heard what Mu just said to Chen. The loss is two hundred million. Even Lan couldn’t acquire that much money in such a short time.

However, Chen was looking relaxed and he said calmly, “I tore the painting up and I’m willing to pay for the loss. But, your painting is a replica. I will pay, according to the price of a replica painting.”

“F*ck you! My painting is definitely authentic!” s.h.i.+ Dafeng scolded loudly.

“Boss s.h.i.+! Please let him finish his sentence!”

Mu asked politely in a deep voice, “Young man. Do you have any way to prove that the painting was a replica?”

“Of course!”

Chen nodded and said, “The real Frosty Autumn Spring Tree is with me!”

“What?! How is this possible?” A wave of shocking comments came from the people around Chen.

Lan and Uncle Qin had their eyes and mouths wide open. This mess was just getting bigger and bigger.

Mu raised his hand to calm the crowd down. He said, “Young man. If you have the real deal, why not take it out to show everyone? That would settle the matter once and for all.”

“Of course! I don’t have it with me right now. I have to go back to my place to get it.”

“Master Tian! Don’t believe his words! It is not possible for him to have the authentic one! He wants to escape!” s.h.i.+ Dafeng scolded loudly.

“Don’t you worry, Boss s.h.i.+. I will go with him to get the painting.” Mu said in a deep voice.

“Alright! I can live with that.”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng put on a savage look and cursed, “Son of the b.i.t.c.h! If you do not possess the real deal, I will make sure you pay for my loss! Also, I will shred your skin and pull your nerves out!”

Chapter 25: I Will Pay For Your Loss… Two Thousand Yuan!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen only smiled wordlessly as s.h.i.+ Mingwei yelled at him. He wouldn’t be so relaxed if he did not have his secret weapon with him. After that, Mu looked for a driver to get the authentic painting with Chen. Inside the car, Chen played with his cellphone without showing any sense of insecurity and anxiety. This made Mu feel really surprised.

He was thinking, “This kid looks so calm. Was he telling the truth?”

Of course, Chen actually did not own the painting but he knew the artist; Tang Bohu.

Ding!

Joy filled Chen’s face when his cellphone vibrated.

Tang Bohu: Good day, my G.o.d! Is there anything that I can do for you today?

This guy was the leader of the Jiangnan Four prodigies. The way he spoke was very poetic and full of intelligence.

Chen: Erm… Why am I suddenly a G.o.d now?

Tang: The Prime of Tongtian announced that he took you in as his apprentice. Although you are not yet a G.o.d, officially, you’ll be one, soon enough.

Chen: I see. Actually, I need you to do me a favor today. Can you draw me a Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting?

Tang: It is not necessary to draw one. If my G.o.d needs one, I can send it over right now.

Chen: You actually have a ready-made one with you? (Sweating emoji)

Tang: Sigh. I have trained in h.e.l.l for thousands of years. At times, when I get bored, I will re-draw the artwork that I created when I was still alive. I have drawn the Frosty Autumn Spring Tree so many times that my storage room is full of it.

This Tang Bohu was just like Xiangyu. Both of them trained in h.e.l.l for thousands of years. Yet, they were still not G.o.ds yet. They had it pretty rough.

Ding!

[You have received Tang Bohu’s Red Envelope.]

Tap!

The Red Envelope opened when Chen pressed on it. Inside the Red Envelope was a painting scroll.

Ding!

[Congratulation on s.n.a.t.c.hing Tang Bohu’s Red Envelope! You have received a Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting. It has been stored in your treasure chest. Do you want to withdraw it?]

Chen saw clearly that the golden “Qi” was all around the painting scroll through the Netherspirit Battlescouter. Chen knew that this painting was definitely a real deal. Also, its rarity was impeccable. His problem should be able solved by showing this painting to others.

“The s.h.i.+ family is going to cry in front of me later. Of course, I can’t retrieve the painting right now because Mu is sitting right beside me,” Chen thought.

He had to wait until he arrived at the dorm to withdraw it. He had to play it cool. There was great joy within him. Suddenly, Chen was shocked.

Ding!

[You have made a deal with a spirit in h.e.l.l. 10 Triple Realms Merit points have been deducted from you. You have 90 points left. Your level is Ordinary People.]

“What the f*ck! I had no f*cking idea that asking for a spare painting from Tang is consider as a trade!” Chen was kind of upset.

“I get downgraded back down to “Mundane Mortal” without me noticing it! This is a pain in the a.s.s!”

Ding!

Tang: Thank you so much for your Triple Realms Merit Points. I’m one step closer to becoming a G.o.d!” (Three surprise emojis)

Chen quickly calmed down, realizing that it was not easy to live as a spirit in h.e.l.l. It was totally fine to give him ten points.

Chen: You are most welcome! (Three Gambateh emojis)

Tang: I just want to say, thank you again! You are certainly the most friendly and polite G.o.d that I ever met. (Three crying emojis)

Chen smiled when he started to imagine the face of Tang being so grateful to him. Then, he thought again, it was actually a good thing to help out the spirits in h.e.l.l. This made Chen really happy.

After that, Chen brought Mu to his dorm and he acted as if he was grabbing the painting from beneath his blanket.

Mu was very puzzled and thought, “I can’t believe that this kid put a national treasure under his blanket. This getting ridiculous!”

Mu wasn’t easily fazed. He did not say a word to Chen, even though he found the whole thing very peculiar. Without saying a word, Mu brought Chen back to his villa.

“I’m sorry for the long wait. I’m back!” Chen entered the villa with all eyes on him.

“You son of the b*tch! You can’t fool me with a replica! You are going to return me my money today!” s.h.i.+ DaFeng yelled.

“Hehe….”

Chen smiled and said, “Everyone here knows an antique when they see one. Also, experts like Mr. w.a.n.g Jianjun are here to examine the painting that I brought here. He would know.”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng said condescendingly, “Hmph! You will know the pain when I put a coffin in front of you! Get ready to die, b.i.t.c.h! I already told Mr. w.a.n.g to expose your dirty trick! You lying motherf*cker!”

“Hehe… Mr. w.a.n.g, please have a look at the painting that I have brought here.”

Chen opened the painting scroll and lay it flat on the table confidently. w.a.n.g adjusted his gla.s.ses and started to examine the painting carefully. At the same time, everyone around him stretched out their necks, opened their eyes wide and antic.i.p.ated the final result from w.a.n.g.

“Great! This is just great!”

A second later, w.a.n.g said in a very surprised tone, “The mountain looks so lively! The water from the stream flows like silk! The height of the mountains can be distinguished clearly! The acc.u.mulated snow on the tree is quite an artistic touch! The drawing is just magical and impeccable! There are no words to describe this piece of magnificent artwork!”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng started to get really nervous and asked in fear, “Mr. w.a.n.g, can you please clarify with me right now…? Is this the real deal?”

“Of course, this is the real deal!”

w.a.n.g’s reply was quick and definite, “I am going to put my reputation on the line to guarantee that this is the real deal! This Frosty Autumn Spring Tree definitely came from Tang Bohu himself!”

“How… How is this even possible?”

s.h.i.+ Dafeng was stunned. He felt like he had just been stuck by lightning. His mind went blank and he moved back a few steps. Finally, he fell to the ground. In the end, Mr. w.a.n.g had proved that Chen’s painting was the real deal. In other words, the painting that Chen tore just now was a replica! It also meant that s.h.i.+ Dafeng paid two hundred million to buy a replica. This was a huge blow to the s.h.i.+ family.

“Dad! Uncle! Master!”

s.h.i.+ Mingwei, Yao Bingbing, and Jing Fei quickly rushed to s.h.i.+ Dafeng to help him get up on the ground.

“You son of a b.i.t.c.h! This must be your dirty trick! You can’t get away from this! Pay us back the two hundred million!” s.h.i.+ Mingwei said in extreme anger.

“Idiot!”

Chen rolled his eyes on him and said condescendingly, “You are embarra.s.sing your family. Everyone here, including Mr. w.a.n.g and Master Tian know that my painting is the real deal.”

“I…” s.h.i.+ Mingwei was speechless and his face tuned red.

Mr. w.a.n.g was just an examiner but Mu was the kind of person that no one would mess with.

“The truth had been revealed, s.h.i.+ Mingwei. My condolences on your family for paying two hundred million for a replica. However, this is not Mr. Chen’s fault.”

“If you demand to be compensated for your loss, according to the price of your replica, I think one thousand Yuan is more than enough.”

“What?!! One thousand?!!” s.h.i.+ Mingwei almost cried when he heard that.

Chen was ecstatic. He took a stack of cash and put it on the table.

“I’m going to give you two thousand! You are welcome!”

  Umm. If someone ripped something that I bought for two hundred million I’d demand full compensation. You can’t just destroy other people’s stuff.

• YukiNeko9

  Yes, but that’s only if it’s the original. If deemed as a replica then your own problem, not the one who broke it. That’s how life works.

Chapter 26: Another Two Hundred Million!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two thousand?

Blarggh!

s.h.i.+ Dafeng’s heart was wracked in sudden pain. A mouthful of blood was spat on the ground. s.h.i.+ Mingwei was bristling in anger. His face was totally twisted. At that very moment, the two of their faces were burning. It was like they had just taken thousands of slaps on their faces. This was their doing. They deserved it. Initially, they could showcase their very much authentic Frosty Autumn Spring Tree without any trouble, but they chose to mess with Chen. Not only that, they mocked Lan as well. Obviously, they were seeking for a death wish. Chen had to teach them a good lesson.

The two of them wanted to cannibalize Chen and drink his blood badly. However, they were not allowed to do because Mu had brought a full closure on the matter. Anger would get them nowhere. If they offended Mu. Not only they would lose more than two hundred million but also losing their lives. This was the true strength of an extremely powerful person. No one would dare to disobey him. The weaker ones had to listen to the stronger one. They had no right to change the outcome.

“Mingwei… Let’s go….” There was still some blood in s.h.i.+ Dafeng’s mouth. His eyes were bloodshot. No, the vessels had burst and his sclera was completely red in color. He looked like a ghost from a scary movie. Undoubtedly, an ultimate hatred had been created between Chen and the s.h.i.+ family. Once they stepped out of the door, everyone in the villa started to get excited again. This was a rare opportunity for them to take a closer look at the national treasure. All of them examined the painting carefully. Also, they took out their cameras and took pictures of it.

“Mr. Chen, may I ask you a question? Do you wish to sell this Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting?” CEO Ma walked towards Chen and asked politely.

In the beginning, he looked down on Chen but now he addressed him politely in a good manner. Due to the presence of the precious painting, Chen had become more respectable in others’ eyes. No one in the villa would ever look down on him.

“Do I want to sell it?”

Chen paused for a while and said, “I’m willing to sell this for the price of two hundred million Yuan. If you can pay me now, this painting will go into your possession.”

In Chen’s eyes, antiques were pretty useless. Money was the way of living. CEO Ma was startled when he heard the price.

“Can I pay you by monthly installments?”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that. I do not like to drag. If you want it, you have to pay me in one shot.” Chen shrugged his shoulders and clarified his stand.

“I don’t think I’m able to purchase this painting. My total a.s.sets are worth one billion. But, most of them are capital goods. I don’t think that I can get two hundred million Yuan in such a short time.” CEO Ma said disappointedly.

Chen was shocked. He did not know CEO Man had one billion worth of a.s.set. If he couldn’t get his hands on two hundred million Yuan right now, no one else in this villa would be able to pull this off. Just when Chen was considered lowering the price, Mu walked towards Chen.

“Do you mind selling this painting to me?” Mu asked politely.

“Of course I don’t mind! But…” Chen said in doubt.

“Money is not an issue. Just give me your bank account number. I can wire the money to you right now.” Mu said casually.

“What the f*ck! This is a real billionaire! No! He should be a Super Billionaire! I can’t believe he is able to transfer two hundred million to me on the spot. Compared to CEO Ma, Mu might have hundreds of billion with him! This is so d.a.m.n cool!” Chen thought. He quickly gave him his bank account number.

Within five minutes, two hundred million had been wired to Chen’s bank account. Looking at a line long figures in his account, he felt like he was dreaming. His joy escalated to s.p.a.ce instantly. After receiving the money and handing over the painting to Mu. Chen, Lan, and Uncle Qin left the villa.

“Chen, I can never fathom the extent of things that you can pull off. You know how to predict the future, you get hold of different antiques easily. Are you a tomb raider?” Lan bombarded him with questions once they were in the car.

“Hehe… You are a smart girl!”

“That’s right! I’m the legendary male version of the Tomb Raider! My lady, are you interested in learning some of the tomb digging techniques from me?” Chen laughed evilly.

“Quit talking nonsense!” Lan pouted playfully and rolled her eyes.

“Alright. I should quit talking nonsense. Can I have your account number? I will wire the money to you right now.” Chen said seriously.

“Alright.”

Lan was really a smart and considerate girl. She knew that Chen did not want to talk about the antique incident anymore, so, she stopped asking about it. Chen quickly finished the transaction process. He was cracking his head about what he should do about the money that he owed Lan. He never thought that he could fully return the money to Lan today. Also, he still had one hundred and nine million in his bank account. That money was more than enough to buy his whole village. Thinking of this, Chen actually wanted to travel back to his village as soon as possible.

His parents had worked hard to support his studies in the big city. He needed to go back to make them proud. He decided to hire someone to work on the house’s interior design. He would invite his parents to come over to stay with him once the makeover is done. Chen couldn’t wait for it to happen.

Lan had cla.s.ses to attend once they reached the university. Chen also had a mission to accomplish. He quickly ran to the university office and waited outside. Yesterday, he had predicted that Lin would face some kind of danger tonight. So, he purposely waited for her to come out from the office. He decided that he was going to follow Lin tonight to help her out. He wanted to find out what was happening to her.

“Which cla.s.s are you from? Why are you snooping about here?!” A fifty-year-old, plump man walked toward Chen and stared at him.

“h.e.l.lo, Vice Headmaster Wong. I was just pa.s.sing by,” Chen simply made something up. His eyes were filled with hatred.

This fat man was the vice headmaster of Green Vine University; Wong Jianren. He was only fifty but he was already bald. His teeth were crooked and yellowish. No words could describe his ugliness. Other than that, he was also a randy old goat. He had always set some kind of underground rule to have s.e.x with some of the female teachers. He even slept with a few students from the art stream. The most disgusting thing was that he would always use security issues as an excuse to barge into the female shower room. Chen was not the only one who hated him. Most of the students in this university were disgusted by him.

Chen quickly walked away from him. He was going to vomit if he spent one more moment with him. However, Chen did not walk too far from the office. He found a hidden corner to continue his surveillance. A few minutes later, Chen saw something that shocked him to death. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d Wong brought a female teacher out of the office. She was none other than Lin Xiang. Chen quickly followed them. He couldn’t let this happen to Lin.

Wong drove to the Shangri-la hotel. That was a five-star hotel. It was a place for dining, entertainment, and staying the night as well. There was nothing wrong with dining here. Also, it would be more convenient to book a room right after dining to have s.e.x. It was easy to guess Wong’s mind. A skinny hand tapped Chen’s shoulder when Chen wanted to get down from the cab to follow them.

Chapter 27: Divine Dog Food

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Why are you here?”

Chen saw a skinny man when he traced the hand back to its owner. The man’s stare was ice cold. He looked like a snake that had just came out from its nest. This man was none other than Jing Fei.

“Cut the s.h.i.+t! You have been sentenced to death by Boss s.h.i.+! I will bring back your head to Boss s.h.i.+ if you refuse to hand over the Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting.” Jing Fei said in an icy-cold tone.

“s.h.i.+ Dafeng has no idea what he has just done to me! Apparently, he has a death wis.h.!.+ How dare he order you to kill me?!” Chen said angrily.

“Erm?”

Jing Fei was stunned by Chen’s unexpected reaction. He thought Chen was just another boy toy who would beg for his life at this critical situation. However, Chen acted completely differently. He was not afraid of him. On the contrary, Chen dominated him with his powerful presence.

“Son of the b.i.t.c.h! Acting cool before your death? Do you think that I, the Thief King of Yun Chuan is a piece of weakling?” Jing Fei tried to scare Chen with his t.i.tle.

“Thief King of Yun Chuan? You are even weaker than a piece of meat! What kind of King are you? Wait, don’t tell me. King of meatloaves, maybe!” Chen said condescendingly.

“Motherf*cker! It seems like I’ll have to beat the f*ck out of you before anything else!” Jing frowned. Then, he proceeded to try slapping Chen.

Jing Fei’s cultivation was in later stage of physical phase. Also, his combat power was one thousand. Chen’s cultivation was still at an early stage of physical phase. His combat power was only a hundred. There was a huge gap of power difference between the two of them. Technically speaking, it was impossible for Chen to fight against Jing Fei. But, Chen always had his trump card with him. This was why he was not afraid of Jing Fei. The moment that aura had burst out, he had already activated it.

“The strength of Xiangyu! Come to me!” Chen shouted in his heart.

The Netherspirit Battlescouter started to work. Xiangyu’s strength filled Chen’s body instantly.

Ding!

[Combat power: 5000]

“Eh?”

Jing Fei’s slap was closing in on Chen’s face. However, his palm stopped in the middle of the air. It stopped moving completely.

“How is this even possible?” Jing Fei’s was in complete shock.

Chen’s hands were like a metal clamp wrapping around Jing Fei’s hand. No matter how hard Jing Fei tried to loosen up his hand from Chen, it wouldn’t budge.

“Ouch! Ouch!”

Chen squeezed, hard, and Jing Fei Started to squeal like a pig. The strength of Xiangyu was extremely powerful. Chen could crush Jing Fei’s hand anytime he wants.

“Please stop! I beg you! Mr Chen… Master Chen! Spare my life!” Jing Fei’s face turned red and he started to perspire. The excruciating pain destroyed his state of mind completely.

He knew clearly that it was impossible to fight against Chen. Other than begging for his life, there was nothing else that he can do.

“You came here to take my life! Why should I spare your life?” Chen growled menacingly.

“I’m willing to become your slave! Also, I can be your loyal dog as well!” Jing Fei was scared to death. He even threw away his dignity.

“A loyal dog? That sounds like a good idea!”

Chen started to focus and observe Jing Fei’s face. Through the Eight Diagram “Qi” observation skill, Chen saw that Jing Fei reeked of treachery. He definitely could not be trusted. However, Chen had another plan. He took out his cellphone, clicked on his treasure chest and withdrew the heavenly dog food that had he received earlier. A ray of strong light burst out from his cellphone and further terrified Jing Fei. Chen opened the bag. He saw three pieces of bone shaped dog food inside the bag.

“Only three? The Xiao Tianquan is too d.a.m.n stingy….That’s alright! Let’s try the magical effect of this dog food first. If it does not help to increase the loyalty of a person, it’s pointless to possess so many of it.”

Chen took out a piece of dog food and said, “You have seen my secret! If you do not wish to die, eat this now!”

“Ah?”

Jing Fei was confused after hearing what Chen just asked him to do. It was totally understandable for someone to take revenge by punching the person. But, taking revenge by asking someone to eat dog food did not make sense at all.

“Are you going to eat it?!” Chen shouted at Jing Fei.

“Eat! I will eat it now!” Jing Fei quickly nodded his head. His life was in Chen’s hand. Even if Chen asked him to eat dog s.h.i.+t, he would have to eat it as well.

“Wow, this is actually pretty good…”

Jing Fei was stunned, and he kept on chewing and chewing the dog food that he had just put into his mouth. It looked like he was enjoying it, so much so that he wanted to ask for seconds. No matter what, it was still heavenly food, dog food or not.

“Eh?”

Something weird happened the next second. Jing Fei’s pupils dilated and his mind went blank. The way he stared at Chen was as if he just lost his soul.

“Master… Are you my master?” Jing Fei slowly opened up his mouth and talked. His voice was monotonous. He sounded like a robot.

“What the f*ck?! The effect of this dog food is insane!”

Chen got really excited and he quickly nodded, “Yes! I’m your master! From today onwards, you will be my follower!”

“Yes! My master!” Jing Fei nodded his head mechanically.

A few seconds later, his pupils returned to normal and he definitely looked livelier. His eyes were filled with great reverence towards Chen. It definitely looked as if he had become Chen’s number one wors.h.i.+pper. He was basically treating Chen as his almighty G.o.d.

“What the h.e.l.l? He’s completely loyal now! This is so crazy!” Looking through the Eight Diagrams “Qi” observation skill, Chen was getting even more excited.

“After so long, I finally figured out that this heavenly dog food is the best item that I have ever received! If I let Mu consume this dog food, I will become the king of kings of Green Vine City. He would be a puppet underground king!” Chen got really thrilled.

After some thought, Chen shook his head and said, “Murong Tian is a decent man. I can’t just control him with dog food. I should reserve it for my future enemies. Hehehe…”

Ding!

[You just borrowed strength from a ghost. Triple Realms Merit point: -3, left 87 points, level : Mundane Mortal.]

“Sigh… My points were deducted again. I can’t go on like this! I need to find a way to regain them!” Chen sighed.

This was not the time. He needed to follow up with Lin’s incident.

“Jing Fei, let’s go in. We are going to split up and follow the woman that I followed just now!” Chen ordered Jing. Then they proceeded by entering the hotel.

This hotel was extremely big. They still could not locate Lin after half an hour.

“s.h.i.+t! This is bad! Where do I find Lin in this huge hotel?” Chen got really anxious. He wouldn’t be so anxious if it was another man who took Lin. But, the man that took Lin away was Wong Jianren; the randy old goat. If Chen failed to locate Lin in time, nasty things were going to happen to Lin.

“Master! I have an idea.” Jing Fei spoke softly.

“What? Speak now!” Chen asked impatiently.

“Don’t you remember that I’m the king of thieves? Come with me!” Jing Fei smiled mysteriously and moved forward. Chen quickly followed him. Jing Fei’s t.i.tle wasn’t for nothing. He truly had skills worthy of being the king of thieves. As they had been looking for Lin, he had already figured out the layout of this hotel.

Soon enough, Jing Fei led Chen to a very important place; the surveillance room!

Chen understood immediately. However, he said worryingly, “This is an important place. There’s no way we can enter it without permission.”

“We don’t need their permission.” Jing Fei smiled and he took a steel wire from out of nowhere.

*Kacha!*

The door of the surveillance room clicked open.

Chapter 28: Four Golden Flowers

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

*Pilipala!*

Jing Fei sat in front of the computer and his fingers moved across the keyboard at lightning speed. He was controlling more than ten monitors.

“Man! This is insane!”

Chen was really impressed by Jing Fei. He had so many different types of talents. It was totally worth keeping him as Chen’s loyal lap dog. Initially, there were two security guards in the surveillance room, but both of them were knocked out and tossed aside by Jing Fei in a series of fluid actions that would have made Jacky Chan proud.

“Master! I found it!” Jing Fei smacked the keyboard and a picture showed up. He saw Lin Xiang and Wong Jianren entering one of the rooms on the twentieth floor. A food cart came right after they entered the room.

“Zoom in on the number of the room! We are going in!” Chen ordered Jing anxiously.

“Yes!” Jing Fei obeyed Chen’s order immediately.

After some thought. Jing Fei had to speak up, “Master! I think I should say something about the current situation. That woman volunteered to have s.e.x with that man. Don’t you think we are being busybodies if we get involved in this incident?”

“Cut the c.r.a.p! I know Ms. Lin the best! She is an innocent girl! She must be backed up against the wall! I must rescue her!” Chen’s words were quick and definite.

Then again, it was still early. Also, Wong just ordered a meal. He would not do anything to Lin at the moment.

“Jing Fei, I’m going out for a while. Keep an eye on him!” Chen said angrily and left the room afterwards. He was determined to rescue Lan today and teach Wong, that randy old goat, a valuable lesson.

Inside the 2066 room.

“Pretty lady. Come and taste the wine. I purposely ordered it from the hotel just for you.” Wong held the gla.s.s in his hand and swirled it with the intention to look cool in front of Lin. The red liquid in the gla.s.s was filled with an evil aura.

“I’m not good at drinking alcohol.” Lin had her head bowed down. Her face looked pale and her front row of teeth bit down on her lower lip. She looked extremely unsettled.

“Don’t be nervous. Everyone has their first time. You should take in some alcohol to reduce your anxiety.” Wong smiled disgustingly and said. Then, he handed over a gla.s.s of wine to Lin.

“I really am not an alcohol person…” Lin pushed the gla.s.s unconsciously and the wine spilled onto Wong.

“What the actual f*ck?!”

Wong’s face turned black and he said angrily, “Please do not pretend to be an innocent girl in front of me! This is not the f*cking time! Don’t you dare forget what you said to me when you borrowed money from me.”

“I… I regret my decision now… Please let me go… And, for the money… I will return it to you slowly…” Lin’s lower lips were almost bleeding due to her biting force. Her eyes were filled with torment.

“Hmph!!! Are you treating me like an idiot?! You borrowed three hundred thousand from me! When can you fully return such huge amount of money to me?”

“I did warn you. If you fail to pleasure me tonight, I will go to the police tomorrow and tell them about how you cheated me of my money. When that time comes, I will kick you out from the school personally and force you to return the money to me!”

“This…” Lin’s face became paler after hearing Wong’s words. Judging from her current living conditions, if she lost her job right now, her life will be turned into a complete mess.

“Mr. Wong, please don’t do this to me. I borrowed the money from you to save my brother’s life. Can’t you see this as an act of kindness? Have mercy on me, please!” Lin’s eyes turned red and tearful. Her body was shaking. These were the signs that she was going to break down real soon.

“Cut the bulls.h.i.+t! You took my money. And now, you turn into an ungrateful b.i.t.c.h! I will not allow this happen on my watch!”

Wong leaned towards Lin and said, “Have s.e.x with me, right now, if you don’t want to lose your job!”

Lin was shocked. She quickly stepped back and said, “Mr. Wong… Please, give me more time to consider it.”

“Hmph!! Just do whatever you want!

Wong pursed his lips and said with no fear, “The proof of you borrowing money from me is in my hand. You can take all the time in this world to consider this.”

Lin did not respond to Wong. She rushed into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. There was a saying; h.e.l.l and heaven were only within a flash of thought. It would be h.e.l.l for her no matter what she chose. After Chen exited the hotel, he quickly rushed to a narrow and dark back alley. There were a lot of ma.s.sage centers and saloon at the back alley. A warm neon pink light caught Chen’s attention. It looked like something fishy was going on in the shop. Then, Chen walked into the saloon. There were few women with cigarettes in their mouths, shaking their legs and waiting for business inside the saloon. Their eyes lighted up when they saw Chen entered the shop. They couldn’t believe that such a handsome young man would visit their brothel. It all looked a wild dream to them.

“Who is the boss?” Chen asked condescendingly.

“I am the boss! Is there anything that we can do for you, handsome man?” A middle-aged lady stood up and said. Her face was caked with foundation. Also, her lips were the shape of thick sausages moving along with her mouth. It looked as if she was ready to eat Chen up.

“This is a brothel. Am I right?” Chen frowned a little and went straight to the pint.

“You… What are you talking about? This is a real saloon.” The plump lady feigned ignorance.

Chen took out a stack of cash without a second thought and said, “Is. This. A. Brothel?”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

The plump lady nodded. She looked like a chicken pecking on the ground. The other women reacted the same. That stack of cash was more than enough to support them for half a month.

“Who has s.e.xually transmitted disease?” Chen asked.

“Huh?”

The lady boss was shocked and said, “Don’t you worry. All of us here have constant checkups with doctor. We do not have any STD.”

“I want someone with STD!” Chen cut in.

“This…”

All the women were very puzzled. This young man had some serious fetish.

“Er… I will get straight to the point, since you have such weird fetishes.”

The plump lady smiled shamelessly and said, “Actually, we have not done any checkups with any doctors. Me, Ru Hua, Fu Rong, and Ah Ju are contracted with different kind of STDs. Which one would you like?”

“All four of you. Come with me!” Chen took out more cash and put it on the table.

“Woah!! You are so d.a.m.n generous!”

The plump lady patted her chest and said excitedly, “I’m not going to boast about anything! Because of your generosity, the four golden flowers will come with all the skills that we possess to make sure that you stay at the height of pleasure for the entire time!”

The third woman stood up after Chen had finished talking. The first woman’s face was darker than Zhang Fei’s. The second woman’s b.o.o.bs were so saggy that they actually laid on her tummy. The third one looked r.e.t.a.r.ded. She was sucking on her finger after using it to pick her nose.

“Ewwww.”

Chen’s a.s.shole tightened up. He said, “I’m not the fortunate one. The mission for all four of you is to pleasure my boss! I can even give you more money if my boss is satisfied with your service.”

“Don’t you worry! We will make sure that your boss will blow up so many times that he forgets his own name!” The four golden flowers were very excited. They were more than ready to serve Wong.

At the Shangri-la hotel, in front of room 2066, the door slid opened silently. Even digital locks couldn’t stop them.

“Please march in, four-golden flowers.” Chen led them into the room.

Chapter 29: h.e.l.l On Earth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Who is that?”

Wong was lying down on the bed. He quickly stood up when he heard someone talking.

“Don’t be anxious, Mr Wong. I have brought the beauties that you asked for earlier!”

Chen put on an evil smile and said to the plump lady, “Sister! That is my boss! He has some fetishes that are really difficult to fulfill. He loves violent women. Please, make it as violent as possible.”

“Understood! You mean SM! We know how to do that!” The plump lady raised an eyebrow and the other three golden flowers started to knead their fists. They quickly surrounded Wong.

“Who are you people? I warn you, don’t come near me! Stop fooling around!” Wong was so startled that he retreated to the corner of the room. His face was full of fear.

“Hehe… He’s already getting into the role. He really fancies this. Let’s go, my sisters!” The plump lady gave the order by lifting up her hand.

The four golden flowers charged at Wong and he was pushed down on the floor. They started to rip open his s.h.i.+rt.

“What the h.e.l.l are you guys doing? Stop messing around! I’m going to call the police!” Wong felt as if he was being crushed by a bunch of ugly ghosts. He shrieked in agony.

*Piak!*

*Piak!*

The plump lady lifted up her hand and gave Wong two tight slaps.

“How dare you slapped me?!” Wong started to feel dizzy, due to the two strong slaps that landed on his face just now.

“How can I pleasure you if I don’t hit you?” The plump lady lifted up a fist and started to punch Wong in the face. Wong’s face was quickly swollen. At the same time, his clothes were completely ripped off by the three golden flowers. The dark-faced lady straddled Wong and started her indescribable love action. Ru Hua and Ah Ju took out their candles and whips. Then, they started to “punish” Wong with all their might.

“Ah… Oh… Ouch!” Wong was being tortured to death and tears started to roll down his face. Have you ever wondered what h.e.l.l looked like? Well, this was as close as it got! Chen held his gut down. It was on the verge of expelling its contents. He took out his cellphone and recorded the action in front of him. For three minutes, he stood there, silently recording in disgust.

Chen kept his phone and smiled coldly, “The four golden flowers! Please, work harder on my boss! Unleash all your skills on him. I will make sure my boss pays you extra tomorrow! I’ll leave you guys to it first!”

After that, Chen ordered Jing Fei to open the bathroom door.

“Chen! Why are you here?!” Lin looked extremely awful. It was like her soul was lost in some other world. She had mixed feelings when she saw Chen appearing in front of her. She was speechless.

“Don’t be afraid, you’re okay now! I’ll take you home! No one would dare to touch or hurt you with me around.” Chen put on a warm smile, held Lin’s hand and exited the room. After they left the hotel, Lin wanted to look for a place to calm herself down. Chen was afraid that she might do something crazy, so, he decided to stick with her at the moment.

“Master, you can go ahead and accompany Ms. Lin. I’m not going to become the third wheel…” Jing Fei said considerately.

“Okay. I would like you to do me a favor.” Chen’s stare turned cold and his words were like frostbite.

“Ms. Lin, can you wait for two minutes here?” Chen told Lin and he walked further away with Jing Fei.

“Master, are you planning to mess up s.h.i.+ Dafeng?” Jing Fei was very smart. He figured out what Chen wanted him to do immediately.

Chen nodded and said in an ice-cold tone, “I will not forgive him since he ordered someone to kill me!”

“Understood! I will murder his whole family tonight!” Jing Fei’s eyes were filled with bloodl.u.s.t. Based on his strength, killing a human was easier than killing a chicken.

Chen stared at him and said, “Did I even ask you to murder his whole family? You are such a maniac!”

“Erm… What do you want me to do? Master?” Jing Fei bowed down his head.

“Death is too easy. I want him to experience something that is scarier than death itself. Deep inside his eyes reflected a deep darkness that no light could escape from. It was ice-cold and frozen.

“Then… What should I do?” Jing Fei gulped. He figured out that Chen was an unpredictable person. Also, he felt that Chen could be quite scary at times!

“I thought that you are the thief king?!”

Chen said in a serious tone, “I want you to rob Dafeng jewelry shop tonight! Do not leave a single item behind, in the vault!”

How….How is this even possible?” Jing Fei was shocked and said in embarra.s.sment, “It’s easy to slip inside the jewelry shop. Also, it’s not hard to break in the vault as well. But…How do I move all the jewelry by myself?”

“Don’t worry! I will not ask you to do something impossible like that.”

Chen took out his cellphone and clicked on his treasure chest.

“Look carefully! All you need to do is click on the “receive” b.u.t.ton. Then, you can absorb everything into my treasure chest.

“I…..Oh my G.o.d….What kind of technology is this?” Jing Fei’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.

“Cut the c.r.a.p! I’m going to hand over the phone to you right now! Don’t disappoint me!” Chen said.

“Don’t you worry, my master! With this magical cellphone in my hand, I can steal everything in the vault! Just sit tight and watch the news tomorrow!”

Jing Fei took over the cellphone. It was like he had just received a holy item. His face was full of sincerity. Then, he left in rush.

“s.h.i.+ Dafeng, you asked for this.” Chen put on his evil laugh. He had everything under his control.

s.h.i.+ Dafeng had three hundred million dollars worth of a.s.sets with him. In order to purchase the Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting, he had gathered all his liquid capital and p.a.w.ned his jewelry shop to the bank as well. The only thing he had left was the jewelry. If Jing Fei succeeded in this mission, s.h.i.+ family would be completely broke and they would not even have any chance to start over again. Also, s.h.i.+ Dafeng would become the real poor man. Also, he will lose the ability to return the loan that he had applied for, earlier. The end result for his family, would be bankruptcy.

Chen calmed himself down and returned to Lin. He asked, “Ms Lin, where do you want to go? Let’s go!”

“I want to have a drink…” Lin said depressingly.

“Okay. It’s good to let everything out.” Chen grabbed a cab and they headed towards the west side of the city. This side of the city is full of entertainment centers.

Chen was not familiar with this place at all. So, he went to the Fire “Grim-Reaper” Boss’s bar to have a drink. The boss was very enthusiastic. He gave them free booze and the best seats in the bar as well. He truly is Chen’s biggest fan.

It was the busiest time of the night. After serving Chen, the boss had to go handle his other patrons. After he left, Lin hurriedly popped the cap off her beer bottle and drank from it straight.

*Cough*

Lin was not good at drinking alcohol. After two mouthfuls of booze, she started to cough non-stop.

“Drink slowly. No one is going to take that away from you,” Chen smiled.

She sniffed, put the bottle down and said, “You must be thinking that I’m such a cheap b*tch. I went and have s.e.x with Wong Jianren for money. Right?”

Editor thoughts: Entertainment district? Seriously? That’s your idea of calming down a woman who almost got violated? I mean. You could go grab some beer from a nearby vending machine or something, and then go to some cliched, bench in an empty park or something, I guess.

Chapter 30: Mission Accomplished

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Don’t be so hard on yourself. You only did it because you had no choice.”

Chen’s gave Lin a rea.s.suring look.

“You think so?” Lin was stunned. She felt warm and fuzzy inside, and her eyes started to water.

“Silly woman, why would I have gone to rescue you if I believed that you wholeheartedly wanted it?’ Chen asked softly.

Lin’s delicate body trembled – Chen had just touched the softest spot in her heart.

Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. She spun around and hugged the crook of his arm tightly, burying her small face in his shoulders, and started to cry.

“Thank you… Thank you for believing in me…” Lin choked through her sobs.

Chen cooed into her ear while stroking her back lightly, “Go ahead and let it all out. You will feel much better. After that, vent all your problems to me. Whatever burdens you have, I will carry them with you.’

“Wh… Why… Why are you so good to me?” Lin whimpered.

“Because you deserve to be treated well,” Chen said, smiling rea.s.suringly.

Back when he was always cutting cla.s.ses, working a part time job, Lin was the one who persistently urged him to not give up on his studies.

Lin was also the one who would buy him dinner and hot soup when all that he could afford to eat were plain steamed buns.

These small acts of kindness were deeply imprinted in Chen’s heart, never to be forgotten in time, through all eternity.

When it came to his enemies, Chen will never be merciful – he would be brutish and unkind.

But when it came to his friends and people who he was indebted to, Chen would greatly value the relations.h.i.+p. He would be more than willing to help. He would definitely do his best to help his friends.

That was why he would help Lin with whatever she needed.

A few minutes later.

Lin had calmed down. She wiped away the traces of tears and slowly told her tale, “This whole thing started, because my brother owed some the loan sharks. My hands were tied. I had no choice but to borrow money from Wong Jian Ren… He knew that I did not have the means to pay him back, so he proposed that I spend the night with him…”

“Why did your brother borrow the money in the first place? From the looks of things, this is not something that took place in one night,’ Chen mused.

“Gambling!”

Lin gritted her teeth, a flash of anger crossing her face. “My brother is addicted to gambling, and he sucks at it – nine out of ten, he would crash. In the past, he only gambled small amounts, and I could barely afford to pay the debts that he had on him with my salary. But recently, he became bolder and gambled larger amounts and the debts grew bigger… To protect him, I stupidly promised Wong…”

“No, you’re not stupid at all. You are a great sister,” said Chen, grinning from ear to ear.

“Really?”

Lin puckered her lips, her bright eyes gazing at Chen.

“Of course, it’s true. I swear, if I’m lying to you, I’ll turn into a puppy.” Chen grinned.

“You are a puppy! A cute puppy!” Lin beamed, a pair mesmerizing dimples appearing on her cheeks.

Seeing this, Chen relaxed and he chuckled, “Well, since the puppy is so cute, shouldn’t the owner give him a kiss?”

Chen was only playfully teasing her. He was just joking.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Lin would actually have the guts to do it. She grabbed him by the arms, drew her lips close to him and pecked his cheek.

“Jesus Christ!”

His whole body trembled as if he had been tazed. The hairs on his body stood on end.

Deemed as one of the four most beautiful girls in school, Lin was living proof that G.o.ddesses did exist.

In the past, Chen could only admire her from afar.

Today! Today he was actually kissed by the G.o.ddess herself!

This fortunate occurrence caught Chen off-guard! His tiny heart was so euphoric that it could just float into s.p.a.ce!

“More! More! The little puppy wants more!”

Chen moved on to the next phase by puckering his lips and pouncing on Lin.

“No! No! Little puppy is not allowed to take advantage of me!” Lin yelped, moving away quickly.

Her pretty face turned red, and her expression was stern, but there was sweet inkling in her heart.

In fact, that day at the school gate, when Chen had saved her from the hoodlums, she had already developed some feelings towards Chen.

What that had just happened was a chemical reaction between Chen and Lin.

But, Lin was still uncertain about a lot of things. Frankly, she was actually not brave enough to take advantage of the situation.

“Today, we have severely aggravated Wong.’

Lin composed herself and said in a serious manner, “Tomorrow, I will turn in my resignation letter. You then will tell the school that it was I who ordered you to confront Wong – that way, you won’t be expelled.”

“Silly girl. I was the one responsible for all of it. How can I let you take the blame?” Chen grinned. In his heart, he was moved by her words.

Lin stubbornly insisted, “You must maintain your school record! Imagine what would happen if you were kicked out of school? Have you thought about your future? What about your parents?”

“Don’t worry.” Chen gave a confident smile and said, “We have evidence of Wong’s nightly activities – I got it on camera just now. He would definitely leave us be, or else, he’ll go cras.h.i.+ng down!”

“What’s that? Let me see,” Lin asked, curious.

“No, it’s too graphic. Not meant for children’s eyes,” Chen chuckled.

“You are the child here! In fact, I am your teacher! Come on, let me see!”

“No, I really can’t…”

“I want to see it!”

“I don’t have my phone with me!”

“…”

After that, they hung out at the bar for a little while longer.

Chen sent Lin home and headed for school.

The night went on uneventfully.

The next day, it was as Chen had expected.

Chen attended cla.s.ses as usual. Wong never showed up.

A little while later, he heard that the pervert had been abused by the four golden flowers to the extent that his mouth was left foaming, and had been rushed to the hospital. While there, he took two months of leave in one fell swoop.

He was obviously avoiding Chen.

Chen had caught Wong with his pants down, literally! Wong could only admit defeat!

Today, Chen woke up in the morning and went straight to the school gates.

Jing Fei was already there, waiting for him.

Needless to say, yesterday’s operation was successful!

“Master, here. Your phone!”

Jing Fei returned the phone to Chen respectfully.

“Very good! Let me see the fruits of your labor!”

Chen grinned, while opening the treasure chest, “Good boy! There are so many things in here?!”

Inside the chest, there were up to a few thousand articles of precious jewelry.

Gold, jade, diamonds, agates, and all kinds, were abundant. What’s more, every piece was well-made; everything was of the highest grade and quality.

“Yesterday night, I checked the Dafeng jewelry shop thoroughly. I managed to swipe it all into your treasure chest. The estimated market price for all the jewelry is around one hundred million!” Jing Fei explained.

“One hundred million? Awesome!” Chen’s eyes shone when he heard the number.

This time, not only had he messed s.h.i.+ Dafeng up, he had also filled up his own little gold vault. This is so exciting! “Very well! You did very well!”

Chen withdrew his smile and said gravely, “After this, go check. How much did he p.a.w.n his jewelry shop for?”

“You… You plan to take over the jewelry shop?” Jing Fei’s eyes widened in shock.

Editor’s thoughts: Erm, what happened to Lan? Oh dear, the makings of his harem. Well. Pretty sure the jewelry have their serial numbers or something. He won’t be able to sell them openly without getting arrested lol.
