"Don't celebrate too soon," Wang Ba said with a furrowed brow. "This time, they lost to our gang, but they’ll definitely try to get their revenge."
His voice carried a thick layer of worry. "We’ll likely face Night Rose soon. Even though we’ve grown strong over the past few months, there’s still a gap between us and them. I don’t know if we can win when the time comes."
The gang leader was formidable, but Wang Ba couldn’t help feeling uneasy. After all, Night Rose wasn’t an easy opponent—especially their leader, Dark Rose, who was not someone to be trifled with.
Wang Ba reported the matter to Lin Xuan.
"Boss, we won the arms deal against Night Rose," he announced.
"Mm." Lin Xuan nodded. The victory didn’t surprise him—he had prepared thoroughly for this.
"Boss," Wang Ba said cautiously, "Night Rose will definitely come for us. Have you thought of a countermeasure?"
Lin Xuan replied, "Keep a close eye on Night Rose’s movements. Report anything suspicious to me immediately. When the time comes, I’ll handle it myself."
Right now, he was focused on dealing with the Mourning Organization.
Facing Night Rose would have to wait—unless they came knocking before he dealt with Mourning. Then, he’d act.
"Understood." Wang Ba let out a relieved sigh.
If the boss took action personally, there was at least a chance of winning.
Maybe their gang wasn’t as strong as Night Rose, but Lin Xuan had strategy.
Last time, with just a handful of men, they had crushed the world’s top assassin organization—Mourning—all thanks to the boss’s tactics.
If he personally faced Night Rose, losing wasn’t a foregone conclusion.
"Wang Ba, start preparing the men," Lin Xuan ordered.
Wang Ba blinked. "Boss, are you saying… you plan to strike Night Rose first?"
"No. We’re raiding Mourning’s hideout." A cold glint flashed in Lin Xuan’s eyes.
"Boss," Wang Ba hesitated, "Why do we keep clashing with Mourning? Shouldn’t we focus on Night Rose first? We can deal with Mourning later."
"No. Mourning must be eliminated first," Lin Xuan insisted.
Wang Ba frowned. "Boss, why are you so fixated on destroying them?"
Lin Xuan’s voice turned icy. "They dared to touch my girlfriend. I need to wipe out Mourning completely—for Hua’er’s safety."
Plus, he needed Mourning to help recover his lost memories. It might even help with Hua’er’s condition.
Wang Ba: "…"
So the boss was a simp after all.
His mind drifted to Su Hua’s image—her figure, beauty, and aura. Well, with someone like her, it was no wonder the boss was whipped.
"Boss," Wang Ba couldn’t resist asking, "How did you even get Su Hua to fall for you?"
Lin Xuan: "Didn’t need any tricks. She fell for me at first sight."
At least, that’s how he remembered it.
Wang Ba sighed. "Never thought the CEO of Su Corporation would be so shallow."
Not that he blamed her. Even as a man, he had to admit Lin Xuan was ridiculously handsome—the kind who could make women swoon instantly.
"Get things ready. I’m hanging up." Lin Xuan set his phone aside and retreated into his thoughts.
He needed to plan carefully—how to confront Mourning.

Su Corporation, CEO’s Office
Jiang Qing’s lips parted slightly as she listened to her subordinate’s report over the phone.
The Golden Dragon Gang had actually gone head-to-head with Night Rose over an arms deal.
She knew the two factions would clash eventually—just not this soon.
Young Master Lin had guts.
"CEO Su," Jiang Qing strode into the office, calm as ever. "Our men lost the arms interception mission."
"Who took the shipment?" Su Hua’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Golden Dragon Gang," Jiang Qing answered.
Su Hua let out a low chuckle. "It’s been a long time since any gang dared to oppose Night Rose."
"CEO," Jiang Qing ventured, "How do you plan to handle them? This is practically a declaration of war."
Su Hua’s lips curled. "I’ll deal with Golden Dragon Gang personally… later."
Jiang Qing’s face lit up with amusement.
If Night Rose moved, Lin Xuan would surely step in too. And if Su Hua personally handled Golden Dragon Gang… the two would cross paths.
Oh, this was going to be good.
Jiang Qing decided she’d stick close to Su Hua. If things got heated, she’d have to reveal their identities—before they accidentally hurt each other.
"CEO," she asked, "Should I start preparing countermeasures against Golden Dragon Gang now?"
Su Hua’s expression remained blank. "No need. I have something more important to handle first."
Jiang Qing blinked. "What’s more important than this?"
Su Hua shot her a glance. "Mine and Xuan’s anniversary."
Jiang Qing: "!!!"
Of course.
Well, Night Rose wouldn’t be making a move anytime soon.
Their meeting anniversary was still over a week away.
By then, Su Hua would undoubtedly slip into one of those risqué outfits, sway to some sultry jazz-classical fusion, and seduce Lin Xuan into bed for days.
After that… recovery time.
Any showdown between their alter egos would have to wait.
Sigh.
Jiang Qing lamented inwardly.
Guess the drama would have to be postponed.
Just as she stepped out of the office, she spotted the dance instructor arriving. Jiang Qing promptly turned back.
"CEO, your instructor is here," she announced.
"Mm." Su Hua set aside her work and stood.
In the dance studio, Jiang Qing watched, chin in hand, as Su Hua practiced with intense focus.
The CEO had long moved beyond just classical jazz—now she trained in everything from traditional to modern dance, specifically the kinds that could ensnare a man.
By the time their anniversary rolled around, Lin Xuan’s kidneys were in for a world of suffering.
He’d better pray for mercy.
An hour later, the instructor left.
Su Hua, glistening with sweat, emerged from the studio and returned to her office. Just as she was about to enter her private restroom, another notification buzzed on her phone.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...

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.
