Lin Xuan explained, "I am the person you're looking for. My previous appearance when meeting you was just a disguise."
The members of Night Rose stared at Lin Xuan in shock.
He was actually the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang.
The mask made by this Golden Dragon Gang leader was actually so incredibly effective?!
Indeed, the man their alliance leader had taken a liking to was truly extraordinary.
That subordinate from the Golden Dragon Gang had already briefed her in advance to address both parties as ordinary people.
Before she arrived, Secretary Jiang had also specifically instructed her not to reveal that the gang leader's girlfriend was their Night Rose alliance leader.
The Night Rose member collected her thoughts and said respectfully, "Mr. Lin, this is the gift our young lady has sent for you and your girlfriend."
She pointed at a burlap sack.
Lin Xuan frowned.
What kind of gift could it be, packed in a burlap sack?
Lin Xuan was so focused on the gift from Night Rose that he completely missed the dangerous look in his little woman's eyes beside him.
"Young lady?" Su Hua leaned against the back of the sofa with one hand, her beautiful eyebrows arched, a dangerous glint in her lovely eyes. "So it's a woman who's sending Ah Xuan gifts."
"I wonder where Ah Xuan met her?"
Lin Xuan said nervously, "Hua Bao, don't misunderstand. I don't have much connection with her. She's just a business partner of mine."
"Is that so?" Su Hua's eyebrow twitched slightly, leaving it unclear whether she believed him or not.
Lin Xuan's gaze wavered slightly.
Although he really had nothing going on with this Night Rose, Night Rose's attitude towards him was somewhat ambiguous.
He could only try to divert Hua Bao's attention to the gift first.
Lin Xuan spoke up, "What is the gift your young lady intends to give me and my girlfriend?"
"Mr. Lin, Miss, please wait a moment."
The Night Rose member emptied the contents of the burlap sack.
A human head rolled wetly out of the sack onto the floor.
Boom!
The members of the Golden Dragon Gang frowned deeply.
They whispered among themselves.
"What's going on? Why is Night Rose sending our gang leader a human head?"
"I don't know either. And, if it's for the gang leader, then it's for the gang leader. Why say it's a gift for the gang leader and his girlfriend? What does this have to do with the gang leader's girlfriend?"
"Wait, this head... it looks familiar."
One of the Golden Dragon Gang members stared intently at the head lying on the floor.
"Isn't this Xu Hui?" His eyes suddenly widened.
Others also connected the face of the head to Xu Hui's.
"It's Xu Hui! It really is Xu Hui! What's going on? How did Night Rose bring Xu Hui's head here? Also, when I saw Xu Hui this morning, she was perfectly fine?"
"Night Rose sending Xu Hui's head here, could it be a provocation against our Golden Dragon Gang?"
"That probably isn't the case. Night Rose is known for keeping promises. Since she agreed to cooperate with our gang, she definitely wouldn't do anything to sabotage the partnership."
Looking at the bloody head on the floor, Lin Xuan's hanging heart finally dropped dead.
Sure enough, the gift from Night Rose was nothing good.
The moment Su Hua saw the head, her first instinct was to pretend to be frightened and throw herself into Lin Xuan's arms.
But then it occurred to her: Ah Xuan knew about her past as an assassin. If she acted scared over a mere head,
it would be too fake, and she was worried Ah Xuan might think she was being pretentious.
So, Su Hua suppressed the impulse to throw herself into Lin Xuan's arms.
Lin Xuan whispered to Su Hua, "Hua Bao, killing is a common occurrence in the Black Triangle. Giving someone a human head as a gift is a normal thing here."
Wang Ba rolled his eyes.
Gang Leader, are you sure this is normal?
"Mhm." Su Hua nodded.
The Night Rose member had recognized Su Hua.
She looked at Su Hua, who was nestled close to Lin Xuan, dumbfounded.
This woman, acting so particularly submissive and wifely, was their alliance leader?
She couldn't believe it, rubbed her eyes, and looked again.
She still saw Su Hua standing beside Lin Xuan, looking utterly dependent, her sharp edges completely retracted, transformed into someone gentle and tender.
She never would have imagined that their aloof, notoriously ruthless alliance leader would act so much like a... little pampered wife in front of the Golden Dragon Gang leader.
It was utterly disillusioning...
"What does your young lady mean by sending me this human head?" Lin Xuan asked solemnly.
The Night Rose member explained, "Sir, this woman sought out our young lady and described your girlfriend's appearance to her. She wanted our young lady to deal with your girlfriend."
The Night Rose member glanced suspiciously at Su Hua.
To be honest, she was curious. Wasn't this woman already taken care of?
Why did the alliance leader still have Secretary Jiang arrange to bring this woman's head before the Golden Dragon Gang leader?
After hearing the Night Rose member's words, Lin Xuan's entire aura turned icy cold.
She actually dared to scheme to have Night Rose target Hua Bao!
"What was her purpose in wanting to harm Hua Bao?" Lin Xuan frowned deeply.
The Night Rose member replied, "Most likely, she had taken a fancy to you and wanted our young lady to eliminate your girlfriend so she could successfully take her place."
Lin Xuan was stunned and instinctively looked at Su Hua.
Sure enough, he saw Su Hua looking at him with a smile on her lips.
This smile looked somewhat chilling...
It's over.
Hua Bao is jealous, yet again!
"Hua Bao, I will definitely handle this matter properly," Lin Xuan promised.
He looked at the Night Rose member.
"Thank your young lady for dealing with her for me. May I ask, where is the rest of her body?" Lin Xuan inquired.
The Night Rose member didn't tell Lin Xuan that Xu Hui's body had been thrown into the Ten Thousand Serpents Pit. She only said, "We have already disposed of it."
Seeing her reluctance to elaborate, Lin Xuan didn't press further.
"Please convey my thanks to your young lady," Lin Xuan said.
"My delivery is complete, Mr. Lin. I shall return to report my mission."
The Night Rose member left the Golden Dragon Gang headquarters.
"Hua Bao, I..." Lin Xuan turned around, wanting to say something, but saw the mocking expression on Su Hua's face.
The words Lin Xuan was about to say got stuck in his throat.
"A woman who likes you, with her head chopped off?"
"Young lady?"
Su Hua stepped closer to Lin Xuan, one step at a time.
"Ah Xuan goes abroad once and brings back so many peach blossoms for me."
Su Hua's tone was dangerously intense.
Lin Xuan stepped back, step by step.
Su Hua advanced, step by step.
Finally, Lin Xuan was cornered against the wall by Su Hua.
The members of the Golden Dragon Gang kept stealing glances at the two of them.
In front of the gang leader's girlfriend, their gang leader seemed a bit... weaker.
The gang leader's girlfriend's posture was also very, very much like that of a domineering CEO...
Who would have thought this would be the dynamic between the gang leader and his girlfriend?
The Golden Dragon Gang members didn't dare to keep watching and quickly averted their gazes.
The gang leader cared a lot about his pride.
If they saw something they shouldn't, the gang leader might settle scores with them later.

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.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger.

I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot?

The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor.

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."
