Song Zhenhui was completely dumbfounded.
What exactly was going on?
After Wang Er, another top-tier young master from the Magic City had called him.
And just like the Wang family, the Cai family was also a top-tier wealthy merchant family ranking at the forefront domestically, someone their Song family absolutely could not afford to provoke.
Not only that, but in the ten minutes after Cai Cheng hung up, his phone's ringtone hadn't stopped ringing.
The Wu family, the richest in Dong Province, the Fan family of Shu Province, the Fang family of E Province... every single one of them seemed to have eaten gunpowder. As soon as he answered the phone, he was bombarded with a torrent of abuse, and without even waiting for him to retort, they hung up directly.
Song Zhenhui was currently holding back a belly full of fire, but in his heart, there was more of a sense of astonishment and unease.
Because now, he also realized that the implications behind this matter were completely beyond his imagination.
Leaving aside the wealthiest families of the various provinces, just the Wang family and the Cai family alone were fully capable of crushing him to death.
"Who the hell did you offend?!"
He frowned deeply, looking at Zheng Yu beside him. "Do you know how pissed off I am right now?"
"Young Master Song... I-I... I don't know what their identities are either. At first, I thought they were just fans..."
Zheng Yu was also terrified. Although she didn't know who those people on Song Zhenhui's phone were or what they said, from the continuously changing expressions on his face, she could tell that this matter had probably blown up.
Just then, Song Zhenhui's phone rang again.
He was just about to lose his temper, but when he saw the caller ID, he immediately became docile. "Hello, Dad..."
The caller was none other than Song Jianpeng, the son-in-law of Elder Yuan Guohua.
"Fuck..."
On the other end of the line, Song Jianpeng seemed to have used a short dozen seconds to hurl every curse word he had learned in his life. "Who the fuck are you on the phone with? I've been trying to call you for twenty minutes and couldn't get through!"
"Dad, I-I..." Song Zhenhui's voice trembled.
Seeing him stammer, Song Jianpeng shouted coldly again, "Where are you right now? Are you with that Zheng Yu?"
"Yes..."
"Get your ass back here right now!"
Song Jianpeng yelled, "Are you trying to get our Song family killed? She offended Young Master Qin, and you still dare to stand up for her, huh?"
"Young Master Qin?"
Song Zhenhui was stunned.
Who was this Young Master Qin?
Didn't Zheng Yu offend a few girls?
Right, she had just mentioned that those girls were accompanied by a young man.
Could this young man be Young Master Qin?
And Wang Er and the others calling him continuously... was all of this because of this Young Master Qin?
How was that possible?
Just a young man.
How could he have such immense power?
What kind of reason could make top-tier young masters like Wang Er and Cai Cheng care so much about this Young Master Qin, or even respect him!
"Dad, who exactly is this Young Master Qin?" Song Zhenhui couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked.
"You don't need to know who he is, and you have no right to know. All you need to know is that he is an existence our Song family absolutely cannot afford to offend under any circumstances. With a single word, Young Master Qin can make our Song family disappear!"
"Do you understand?!"
Hearing his father's words, Song Zhenhui was truly terrified.
After all, their Song family was the richest in Hang Province. Even if top-tier wealthy families like the Wangs joined forces, the most they could do was suppress them.
But the word 'disappear' carried a meaning that was enough to make Song Zhenhui's scalp tingle with fear.
"I understand, Dad. I-I... I'll leave right now!"
After hurriedly hanging up the phone, Song Zhenhui quickly stood up.
"Young Master Song, I-I... then what about me?"
Zheng Yu panicked. Although she couldn't hear what was said on the phone, seeing Song Zhenhui's current demeanor, it was obvious he didn't plan on caring whether she lived or died.
Slap!
Song Zhenhui backhanded her across the face and snorted coldly, "You have the nerve to ask me what to do?"
"You almost got me killed too! How many times have I told you before?"
"Keep a low profile! Do you understand what keeping a low profile means?"
"Now look what you've done. You offended someone you shouldn't have. Just wait for death, I can't help you!"
After saying that, without caring about Zheng Yu's reaction, Song Zhenhui strode out of the room.
And just as he was about to take the elevator downstairs, he noticed a few girls waiting in front of the elevator doors.
Among these girls, there was also a young man.
Song Zhenhui's heart skipped a beat.
Could this be Young Master Qin?
And the ones Zheng Yu had offended were probably the girls beside him, right?
Soon, the elevator arrived.
Qin Ning led Qin Fei and the others inside.
Song Zhenhui gritted his teeth and eventually braced himself to follow them in.
The group merely cast a curious glance at him but didn't pay much attention.
Right then, Song Zhenhui was the first to speak. "Young... Young Master Qin?"
Qin Ning slightly raised his eyes and looked at him. "You know me?"
"No, no... I don't, but I have long heard of Young Master Qin's great name."
With an expression as if he were about to cry, he continued, "Hello, Young Master Qin. My name is Song Zhenhui, and my father is Song Jianpeng..."
"Oh, so you're the son of Elder Yuan's son-in-law, Song Jianpeng," Qin Ning said, slightly taken aback.
Qin Fei spoke up at this moment. "I just had someone look into it. You must be Zheng Yu's biggest backer, right?"
Hearing this, Song Zhenhui wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead and braced himself to say, "Yes... no, no, no... I used to be... but not anymore. I just severed all ties with her!"
"This kind of inferior celebrity, acting one way in public and another in private, it's a good thing she ran into us today," Jiang Yanran chuckled.
Song Zhenhui didn't dare to retort in the slightest. After a few seconds of silence, he couldn't help but speak up, "Young Master Qin, to express my apologies, I-I... I would like to treat you to a meal and apologize sincerely in person. I wonder if I might have the honor..."
Qin Ning looked him up and down, then his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had discovered something.
They were heading downstairs right now precisely to eat.
The elevator stopped on the third floor of the hotel. After stepping out, Qin Ning glanced back at Song Zhenhui, who was still standing foolishly inside, and said indifferently, "Come with me."
"Yes, yes! Understood, Young Master Qin!"
Song Zhenhui, who had originally thought Qin Ning wouldn't bother paying attention to him, instantly revealed a look of wild joy upon hearing this.
To this day, he still didn't know what kind of background and identity Qin Ning actually possessed.
But what was certain was that it must be astonishingly massive.
If he could cling to this person's thigh, it would be a monumental stroke of luck for himself, and even for the entire Song family!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
