"What? Shuang'er is in trouble?"
Chen Hao, who was in the security room of Qiangsheng Group, suddenly received a call from his old father. At first, he was thrilled to hear that Chen Tiansheng had broken through to the Grandmaster level.
But soon, he was hit with devastating news!
His younger sister... Shuang'er, had ventured into the secular world and offended the Jiang Family by beating up the grandson of their Grandmaster.
"That's right, Hao'er, you need to be careful. Your sister has offended the grandson of a Grandmaster, and now she's been taken as a maid by that Young Master Jiang."
After hearing his father's words, Chen Hao was so furious that his scalp tingled, and his anger was impossible to hide.
"Father! Where is Shuang'er? I need to save her!"
"That Young Master Jiang sounds like a spoiled brat. How could they push Shuang'er into such a mess?"
But when Chen Tiansheng heard Chen Hao's words, he was terrified, trembling like a leaf.
"Son! I'm telling you this not so you can seek revenge for Shuang'er! You need to stay put... and come back to Chen Village immediately! That Young Master Jiang is backed by the ancient martial Jiang Family... a top-tier clan. You must have heard of Jiang Yunhuang, the martial arts leader, right?"
Chen Hao fell silent.
He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he wasn't stupid either.
A Grandmaster at the Heavenly Force level was someone who could crush their Chen Village effortlessly. Even if he broke through to the Grandmaster level overnight, it wouldn't make a difference!
"How could Shuang'er offend someone like that?"
Who exactly was this Young Master Jiang?
But soon, a figure that made his blood boil came to mind.
Jiang Che!
That Jiang Che seemed to have quite a reputation in Hangcheng, being the son of some wealthy tycoon. Could this Young Master Jiang be... him?
"Father, is that Young Master Jiang named Jiang Che?"
As soon as he asked, Chen Tiansheng was stunned, then exclaimed with hope.
"Hao'er, are you familiar with that Young Master Jiang? Can you try to plead for leniency?"
Chen Hao: "......"
His face turned ashen, as if he had just eaten something disgusting.
Familiar? Sure, you could say that!
That scoundrel who stole his beloved Qin Qiaoqiao had now taken his sister as a maid?
Hearing Chen Hao's silence, Chen Tiansheng paused for a moment.
"Hao'er, don't tell me you have a grudge against that Young Master Jiang too?"
Chen Hao remained silent, then abruptly hung up the phone.
His expression was dark and terrifying, and in a fit of rage, he swept everything off the table.
"Jiang Che!!! Damn you! You took Qiaoqiao, and now you're going after my sister too?"
He knew exactly how despicable Jiang Che was!
Despite already having Qin Qiaoqiao, Jiang Che still flirted with Ye Mengyao and Yu Wan'er... If his pure and innocent sister stayed by that scoundrel's side for too long... she'd be devoured without a trace.
"No... no! I have to save Shuang'er. I can't let her fall into Jiang Che's hands!"
Chen Hao was panicking. He hadn't been this angry even when he saw Qin Qiaoqiao being carried into a hotel by Jiang Che!
This was his sister! His own flesh and blood!
But soon, a sense of helplessness washed over him. Jiang Che's influence was too great.
He had thought Jiang Che was just an ordinary rich kid, but now he was being told... Jiang Che was backed by the Jiang Family from the Capital City, with a Grandmaster as his grandfather?
What chance did he have?
But sitting around and doing nothing wasn't in his nature!
"No—"
Chen Hao's mentality shattered, and at the same time, the energy within his body became chaotic.
"Boom—"
A powerful surge of internal force erupted through his limbs and bones. He had broken through the barrier of Half-Step Dark Force, fully stepping into the realm of Dark Force.
But he felt no joy.
A bitter smile appeared on his face. "So what if I've reached Dark Force? I'm still at their mercy."
......
Meanwhile.
In a suburban area outside Hangcheng.
A young man stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. Beside him... four or five thugs armed with clubs lay on the ground.
"You can leave now. I, Ye Liangchen, do good deeds without leaving my name!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for pulling off a profound act of showing off. Reward: 5 days of internal force.]
Nearby, a mother and daughter were trembling in fear. The middle-aged woman held the hand of a little girl with pigtails.
"Benefactor... you... you're truly a good person."
The mother and daughter had just come from the village and had been robbed, but fortunately, they ran into Ye Liangchen, who couldn't resist the opportunity to show off.
After all, he was bound to the [Strongest Show-Off System], where showing off made him stronger. A day without showing off felt unbearable.
"No need for thanks," Ye Liangchen glanced at the mother and daughter.
The woman was a bit too old, and the little girl was only four or five. If she were fourteen or fifteen, it would be perfect... he could take her in as a little sister and raise her.
"Benefactor..." The middle-aged woman hesitated.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Do you have any money? We need to go into the city to find the child's father, but we've lost all our money... we can't even afford food now."
Ye Liangchen thought for a moment, then took out the last 1,024 yuan from his pocket and handed it all to the mother and daughter.
"Take this... it's just pocket change for me."
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance. The money... was a mix of bills and coins, and the young man in front of them didn't look like someone who had much to spare.
"Benefactor... do you have any more? This might not be enough for the fare."
Ye Liangchen: "......"
Damn it, I shouldn't have tried to show off.
[Ding! Host has shown off being broke. Reward: 1 second of internal force.]
Ye Liangchen: "......"
"Ahem... I'll be going now."
Ye Liangchen quickly made his escape.
"Ah, with no money, I'll have to rely on my legs. Good thing I'm strong enough."
But just then, Ye Liangchen received a call.
His expression quickly turned strange.
"What? The ancient martial Chen Family has offended the Jiang Family from the Capital City? Shuang'er even hit the young master of the Jiang Family?"
"Father, is Shuang'er okay?" Ye Liangchen was anxious.
Even though Chen Ningshuang had publicly broken off their engagement, humiliating him, he still couldn't let go of her.
After all, as the protagonist, aside from showing off... women were his only other focus!
"Liangchen! What are you thinking? Chen Ningshuang has already broken off the engagement with our Ye Family, humiliating us. Don't tell me you still have feelings for her?"
His father's voice was filled with anger!
"Father, of course not. I'm just thinking about the agreement three years from now. If something happens to Chen Ningshuang... wouldn't that agreement be meaningless?"
"By the way, Father, I broke through a level yesterday and reached the peak of mid-stage Dark Force."
Ye Liangchen's voice was tinged with pride. He had been showing off non-stop these past few days, slowly accumulating strength... and finally broke through a small level.
Although his progress was a bit slow, he believed... he would soar soon!
His father, however, wasn't too impressed. He was almost ready to give up on his useless son.
"Chen Ningshuang is now a maid to Young Master Jiang. You better not provoke them, understand?"
Young Master Jiang?
Ye Liangchen's eyes filled with disdain. He had also heard about this young master of the Jiang Family from his elders—a guy even more useless than him, relying solely on his prestigious family background.
But he wasn't afraid. With enough time, even a Grandmaster would be nothing to him.
