Night.
The events of today have been full of twists and turns.
There were countless reversals.
Netizens were left utterly dumbfounded.
However, the one thing that can be said for certain is that the Xu Family did not bully others using their influence.
On the other hand, the Ma Family and Li Family were nothing but scoundrels.
The truth has come to light.
Now the pressure is on those two families.
Ma Qun and Li Caijun are not having a good time.
They are the heirs of their respective families.
But the decisions within their families are not entirely up to them.
Now that their businesses have collapsed,
They have been branded as traitors by their own families!!!
"Disgrace to the family, disgrace to the family! Your grandfather had such high hopes for you, Ma Qun, and yet you’ve destroyed generations of the Ma Family’s hard work! How can I, an old man, face our ancestors now?"
The Ma Family’s patriarch, currently stationed abroad,
Made a long-distance call back home.
He inquired about the recent situation of his descendants.
Ma Qun’s hands couldn’t stop trembling.
The severity of the situation had surpassed his ability to cope.
In Magic City,
Whether it was the Ma Family’s overt influence or their covert operations,
Everything had been ruined by Xu Mo, that meddlesome troublemaker.
On the other side,
Li Caijun of the Li Family was receiving a similar scolding.
Being capable is one thing,
But being able to bring prosperity to the family is another.
Clearly, Li Caijun could not.
Not only could he not,
He had completely destroyed the Li Family.
He had cut off any chance for those who wanted to return to their roots and reunite with their ancestors.
"Damn it, Xu Mo, you’ve gone too far!"
Lin Fan, furious, flipped the table over.
Crash------------
The pots, pans, and dishes on the table shattered into pieces on the floor.
Being sanctioned was already humiliating enough.
Lin Fan had originally intended to take advantage of the public opinion storm
To smear the Xu Family’s reputation.
But who could have guessed that the evidence would be exposed?
Lin Fan had calculated everything, but he never expected this.
"Brother Lin, that bastard Li Caijun screwed us over," Ma Qun said with a cold expression.
Lin Fan could see it clearly, "He dug his own grave. No, he didn’t mean to screw us over, but he’s just too incompetent and got caught."
Ma Qun’s eyes were bloodshot.
What a guy.
It was clearly his fault,
Yet he had the audacity to come here today and blame us.
Who gave him the guts?
"I’m going to kill him!"
Ma Qun spat out each word with venom.
Because of that idiot Li Caijun,
The Ma Family was ruined.
And Ma Qun had been berated by his elders until he was drenched in shame.
If he didn’t vent this anger,
He wouldn’t be able to live with himself for even a single day!
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Give me some time, I’ll help you get revenge."
Ma Qun looked at him in disbelief.
"Brother Lin, that guy has ruined me!!!"
Lin Fan took a deep breath, his heart bleeding.
"My master still has some connections in Magic City. Patience is key; acting impulsively will only make things worse. I have her token, and with it, I can command respect. Our current predicament is partly due to Li Caijun, but the main reason is still that dog Xu Mo!"
There’s no way back now.
No retreat.
This is not the time for infighting.
Since returning to the country,
Lin Fan had suffered many losses.
This time!
As the leader of the Dragon King Hall, he absolutely could not afford to lose again!
He would make the Xu Family fall into ruin.
He would make those who wronged him pay the price!
He would make those women who looked down on him stand in line, obediently waiting for his encouragement!
Hearing this, Ma Qun was stunned for a moment, then a look of excitement spread across his face.
"Hahaha... Brother Lin, as long as you say that, it’s enough. I, Ma Qun, will follow you for life! I’d go through fire and water for you! I’ll do anything!
As long as you give me a bite to eat, that’s enough."
Lin Fan himself hadn’t expected to have a sycophant like Ma Qun.
Such a naive kid was a rare find these days!
They’re becoming fewer and fewer!
Lin Fan felt a deep sense of satisfaction, mainly because of his own charisma.
In any case,
These matters are trivial.
The main thing is that his master has come out of seclusion.
These things are no big deal.
"Brother Lin, what are your orders now?"
Ma Qun rubbed his hands together eagerly.
The Ma Family’s assets were nothing compared to the benefits of following Lin Fan!
Who is Lin Fan?
He’s a world-renowned big shot who made waves abroad!
For Ma Qun to be able to follow him as a lackey was a blessing earned over three lifetimes.
He didn’t dare ask for more.
Being a lackey was enough.
If the Ma Family’s patriarch or other elders abroad knew about Ma Qun’s thoughts and plans,
They would surely curse him out.
Damn it, you useless waste!
You deserve to die!
If others knew about Ma Qun’s thoughts,
They would surely give him a thumbs-up.
What a guy!
What a black sheep!
Indeed, the name his parents gave him carried deep meaning.
They didn’t just pick it at random.
Ma Qun’s life was pretty much over.
Lin Fan thought for a moment and continued to deceive him, "We’ll stay calm and wait for my master’s instructions. I still have some influence and money abroad. Once I’ve built up my strength,
Little Ma, you’ll come with me abroad, and I’ll make sure you live the good life!
Things are too competitive here in the country, and for now, we shouldn’t clash head-on with Xu Mo.
When I return, everything will be restored!
Everything will be set right!
For now, the situation is uncertain, and we’re all just pawns!
But once it’s settled,
We’ll rise again and learn from the Xu Family!
What I want to say is, did you think I was just a beggar? What I’ve lost, I’ll take back with my own hands. I’m not here to show off how great I am.
I just want to say, what’s mine will always be mine.
And what’s not mine, I’ll take it anyway!"
Lin Fan’s inspiring words left Ma Qun in awe.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s image in Ma Qun’s mind grew larger and more magnificent.
He was like a blazing sun,
Shining brightly and illuminating Ma Qun’s wounded and fragile soul.
Indeed, as the saying goes, following the right person, the right leader, is always the most important thing!
Thankfully, Ma Qun had the foresight to latch onto Lin Fan’s coattails. Otherwise, he’d probably be wallowing in helpless rage right now.
Ma Qun knew that money would eventually run out, but his experiences, his life’s lessons,
And his future plans needed to change.
Otherwise, he’d just be going in circles.
Today, he had only lost his family’s wealth.
So what?
Money, to him, was just a cold, lifeless number!
Today, that number is here, and he’s happy. Tomorrow, if that number disappears,
Does that mean he’s no longer happy?
Does that mean he won’t eat?
Does that mean he won’t live?
At this moment, Ma Qun thought a lot, but the main point was that this money wasn’t earned by him.
It was the hard-earned wealth of his elders.
The elders worked hard to earn it, and he spent it.
It was a balance of give and take, a harmony between all things!
Today, he had only lost some money, but he had also shown his loyalty to Lin Fan!
What a great opportunity this was!
As Ma Qun thought about it, drool began to drip from his mouth.
Lin Fan’s dissatisfied and disgusted voice came from beside him.
"If you want to be my lackey, you need to pay more attention to your image.
Look at you, what kind of state are you in?
Out in public, if you’re drooling today, will you be snotting tomorrow?"
"Ah, slurp..."
Ma Qun quickly sucked in his drool, wiped his mouth, and straightened his back.
He immediately assured Lin Fan,
"Sorry, Brother Lin, it won’t happen again. I’ll be more careful!"
"Remember this! Seriously, you’re such a fool. Don’t tell people you’re with me in the future."
"Ah... I understand, I understand."
Ma Qun once again pledged his loyalty!
Lin Fan glanced at him, thinking about how this guy had lost all his family’s money for his sake.
Although that amount of money wasn’t small for Lin Fan,
What did it have to do with him?
It was Ma Qun who chose to follow him.
It was all Ma Qun’s fault.
If Ma Qun hadn’t been so obsessed with him, none of this would have happened.
Lin Fan’s mind was very clear.
The promises he made about abroad were all just empty talk.
If he ever got the chance to go abroad, he might throw Ma Qun a bone or two.
Of course, it was impossible to compensate the Ma Family for all their losses.
Even if Lin Fan had the ability to repay them.
As the saying goes,
the money in your own hands is yours.
What others have is none of your concern.
Spending it on yourself—
that’s called having vision and making investments.
Investments can fail or succeed.
That’s just the way life goes.
Poor Ma Qun still doesn’t realize he’s been scammed.
He’s even helping others count their money.
It’s not that Lin Fan is particularly evil.
It’s just that this person is inherently bad.
As the protagonist, it’s survival of the fittest—if you don’t look out for yourself, you’re doomed!
The protagonist is bound to reap benefits for themselves.
They can take care of their subordinates, they can look after their siblings, but they can’t take care of everyone.
You still have to save where you can.
After all, who’s going to fuel their sports cars?
Who’s going to cover the maintenance and repairs?

invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
