The sudden voice startled Chen Yuanzhong and Cheng Xiong. They turned around to see a man in a large black cloak standing behind them.
The man had a piercing gaze, and even just standing there motionless, the sharp edge he exuded made Chen Yuanzhong and Cheng Xiong feel a chill down their spines. They both looked as if facing a formidable foe.
"Looking to die." As Chen Yuanzhong's bodyguard, how could Cheng Xiong tolerate an unidentified person threatening his boss's safety?
So his first reaction was to charge at the man in the black cloak.
Although Cheng Xiong was tall and muscular, he moved with exceptional agility. In the blink of an eye he threw a punch at the mysterious man.
Bang!
What followed was a heavy, muffled thud. Chen Yuanzhong was shocked to see Cheng Xiong's 200-pound body flying back like a ball, smashing heavily into the villa wall and knocking down a large patch of the wall plaster.
After hitting the ground, Cheng Xiong was unable to get back up, writhing in pain.
Cheng Xiong had been mixing in underground boxing circles for nearly ten years with no opponent. His combat ability was absolutely formidable. However, facing this mysterious man, he hadn't even seen how the other party attacked.
Chen Yuanzhong got up slowly. He didn't make a sound or call for help, just gazed quietly at the mysterious man. He could tell that the person before him was terrifying.
If the man had wanted to kill him, he would be dead already. The fact that he didn't make a move clearly showed he didn't intend to kill him.
So Chen Yuanzhong spoke cautiously: "Sir, I, Chen Yuanzhong, have no grudge against you."
The mysterious man sneered, "Do you want to replace The Phoenix Group and become the largest business conglomerate in Haihua City?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuanzhong's expression became complicated. He was an old fox - of course he could hear the overture in the mysterious man's words. To put it nicely, he wanted to recruit him, but bluntly, it seemed the man wanted to turn him into a puppet. This was Chen Yuanzhong's feeling.
After a long silence, Chen Yuanzhong finally said, "Ms. Luo has masters around her, and her family background far exceeds my expectations."
Chen Yuanzhong knew very well that even Qing Feng had returned injured, which showed that the masters around Luo Yihuaung must be terrifying.
The mysterious man walked slowly to a mahogany table next to Chen Yuanzhong and lightly placed his palm on it, saying, "Masters? How powerful could they be?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the mahogany table under the mysterious man's palm suddenly shattered with a bang. In an instant, the whole floor was covered in wooden debris, as if cut by countless knives.
In that moment, Chen Yuanzhong's gaze fixed intensely. He clearly saw countless green rays flashing from under the mysterious man's palm.
The green rays were bizarre and sharp, leaving his whole body stiff and numb, his back drenched in cold sweat.
Even Cheng Xiong, lying unable to get up on the floor, felt a deep apprehension. He could confidently say that if this man wanted to kill him, he would already be dead.
He never imagined there were such terrifying people in this world. After mixing in the underground boxing world for nearly ten years without an opponent, today's encounter made him realize how ignorant he was.
The mysterious man said indifferently, "I want Luo Yihuaung's people, and you want her company. You know what to do, don't you?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuanzhong finally recovered from his earlier shock. As the Tiger of the West who had lorded over Haihua City for decades, he was actually so shocked by this mysterious man that he lost his senses temporarily.
After a long pause, Chen Yuanzhong said with some difficulty, "With your abilities, sir, capturing Luo Yihuaung should be very easy for you. Why do you need to cooperate with me?"
The mysterious man snorted, "I have my reasons for not making a move personally, so consider whether you want to cooperate or not."
Having said that, the mysterious man looked at Chen Yuanzhong with those blade-like eyes, involuntarily causing Chen Yuanzhong to break out in a cold sweat.
He knew that if he refused, this man would probably kill him directly. And if he agreed to cooperate, he would truly become a puppet.
But as the crafty Tiger of the West, he knew very clearly that he only had one life. Even as a puppet, it was better than death.
So he nodded, "Sir, what about the masters around Luo Yihuaung?"
The mysterious man sneered, "This person killed more than twenty of our members, including two Class C members. I will arrange for someone to deal with him. As for you, give me two days to get Qin Qinghan under control."
Chen Yuanzhong hesitated and frowned, "Although that woman has some ability, she's not worth worrying about."
Chen Yuanzhong knew Ye Fengwu was not simple, but he didn't suspect him of being the one who had injured Qing Feng.
But the mysterious man snorted, "Not worth worrying about? Let me remind you - when you deal with Qin Qinghan, you'd better not reveal anything, otherwise the anger you'll face from that person will definitely not be something you want to see."
Having said that, the mysterious man turned to leave.
Chen Yuanzhong was somewhat puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind the mysterious man's words. Then he quickly said, "Sir, since we're cooperating, shouldn't you at least leave your name?"
The mysterious man stopped in his tracks. A flash of coldness passed through his knife-like gaze as he sneered, "Do what you should do, and don't disappoint me."
The mysterious man's tone was extremely cold, vaguely exuding a strong chill that made Chen Yuanzhong's hair stand on end.
When Chen Yuanzhong looked up again, the mysterious man had vanished without a trace.
Only then did Cheng Xiong struggle to his feet and slowly make his way to Chen Yuanzhong's side, asking, "Boss, what should we do?"
Chen Yuanzhong said gravely, "Send people to monitor Qin Qinghan's every move. It's also time to get rid of Ye Fengwu and Jiang Hao."
...
Five Tigers Sect's Ye family residence in Beijing.
Marshal of the Green Dragon Guards Ye Tiangang sat with a solemn expression on a wide sandalwood chair. Standing in front of him was a handsome middle-aged man, Ye Tiangang's chosen successor Ye Feng.
"Feng'er, to think that brat would mobilize a whole regiment just for a woman," said Ye Tiangang, whose gaze always exerted a natural prestige - so even though he sounded displeased, his tone didn't betray any anger.
Ye Feng smiled wryly, "While it's somewhat excessive, it also shows how much he values that girl."
"Ah..." Ye Tiangang suddenly sighed heavily. "Back then, after he ruined that woman, she spent the past eight years suffering humiliation, while our Ye family...could do nothing."
Ye Feng also said helplessly, "We only wanted to save him, but neglected the girl he harmed, leaving her to raise our Ye family's offspring alone. We owe a debt to the mother and daughter."
Ye Tiangang said, "Feng'er, it's time we find a way to compensate them."
But Ye Feng shook his head. "This matter can't be rushed. Fengwu is perceptive. Any clues, no matter how subtle, won't escape his notice. Sending him to the military back then already aroused his suspicions."
Ye Tiangang's dignified face slowly revealed a look of sadness. He sighed, "This old man just wants to provide some compensation to their family of three."
Ye Feng said bitterly, "Dad, compensation now would be too late."
Back then, for the sake of family stability, they had resolutely abandoned the one-month-old Ye Fengwu. More than twenty years had passed, and he didn't even know the names of his own birth parents.
If he ever discovered the truth, he would probably bitterly resent the Ye family.
Ye Tiangang's expression was also heavy. He sighed, "Go ahead and arrange it. This old man will one day bring their family of three back to the Ye family."
Ye Feng's expression gradually turned ugly. He frowned, "In the past few days he killed more than twenty assassins from the Death God Guild, including two Class C members. His days ahead won't be peaceful."

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes.

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
