Everyone at the banquet trembled in fear.
No one dared to provoke Song Ming at this moment.
"Su Muwan, we respect you as a real fighter.
You even dared to mess with Song Ming's sister."
Because of what happened to his sister, Song Ming had lost his appetite.
He left alone with a gloomy face.
He didn't let his subordinates drive, choosing to go by himself, as he wanted to check on his sister's condition as soon as possible.
Most importantly...
He wanted to!
Go directly after Su Muwan!! And beat her until she's crippled!!
However...
Just as he got in the car.
Song Ming's expression suddenly changed.
His right hand shot backward.
Bang!!
He precisely grabbed someone's throat.
Due to his extreme anger, his grip was so tight that it seemed he would crush the person's throat.
"Who are you?"
Song Ming growled in a low voice, filled with suppressed rage.
Seeing no response from the person, Song Ming used his strength.
He pulled the person from the back seat to the front.
In the dim car light, Song Ming clearly saw the person's appearance.
It was... a man in black robes.
The black-robed man spoke in a hoarse voice, completely unfazed by his current situation. He just looked at Song Ming meaningfully and slowly said, "As expected of the Rakshasa King, your perception is as strong as my master said."
"Your master?"
Song Ming frowned and said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
The black-robed man chuckled, "Heh, don't be hasty, Rakshasa King. I'm here to deliver a message from my master."
As he spoke, he took out a small speaker.
The next moment.
An unprocessed female voice came through.
"Hehe, Song Ming, forgive my subordinate's rudeness."
"However, I believe you won't refuse the deal I'm about to propose."
And with this voice's appearance.
Song Ming's expression changed dramatically, and he almost screamed, "Shangguan Chuxue?!"
Then.
He quickly looked around, lowered his voice, and slowly said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
As he spoke, he also released the man in black.
Shangguan Chuxue's voice continued, "It's simple. I've found a very interesting opponent in Jiang City."
"Oh, you know her too. She just happened to beat up your sister~~"
"Hmm~ quite badly too."
Hearing this, Song Ming guessed the person's identity, his gaze darkening: "Su Muwan? She's your new target?"
For some reason.
When he learned that Shangguan Chuxue had targeted Su Muwan as her new prey.
Song Ming... wasn't as angry anymore.
Instead, he felt a hint of mockery towards Su Muwan.
Heh.
Shangguan Chuxue was an extremely dangerous woman.
He had witnessed this six years ago.
Or rather...
The main reason the Rakshasa Palace could be established was actually because of Shangguan Chuxue's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
And his ability to enter the world's most brutal prison for six years to learn martial arts there.
Actually... was also Shangguan Chuxue's secret operation.
It could be said that he had an inherent wariness towards this woman.
If not necessary, he didn't want to cooperate with her.
But.
Song Ming calmed down.
If someone could be considered worthy as Shangguan Chuxue's opponent, then this Su Muwan definitely couldn't be underestimated!
He really had been blinded by rage, and might have nearly fallen into a trap.
Thinking this, he calmly said, "Tell me your plan."
"Heh, it's simple. Do you know about the War God?"
"Of course... six years ago, he was a peak-level warrior who pacified the borders, but due to one battle, his powers greatly diminished."
"Perhaps now... many in the War God Temple want him dead."
Hearing this, Shangguan Chuxue gave a light laugh: "The War God has a wife and daughter who work under Su Muwan."
"Most importantly... Su Muwan has the War God's Command Token."
"And the War God... maintains a cautious attitude towards Su Muwan."
"I've already sent my people to the War God and his family."
"My plan is as follows..."
Half an hour later.
Song Ming's expression was shocked.
He hesitated and said, "Is that Su Muwan really worth you spending so much effort to play such a game?"
"Heh, of course."
Shangguan Chuxue's voice carried a mysterious meaning: "I'm very good at reading people. She... is the same kind as me."
"So, Song Ming, if you act alone, you'll definitely suffer the biggest setback of your life, just like the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace and the Divine Doctor."
"To deal with this kind of person... only... cooperative win-win will work."
Hiss!
Hearing this, Song Ming took a deep breath.
He didn't believe Su Muwan had such capability, but he believed in this dangerous woman, Shangguan Chuxue.
Therefore!
"Fine, I'll cooperate with you."
"Hehe, that's the wisest decision you've ever made."
.....
.....
Su Family residence.
Living room.
"Achoo!"
Su Muwan, who had been thinking about doing something proper this morning, suddenly sneezed.
She alertly raised her head, feeling that someone must be talking about her again.
"Young Miss, here's a tissue."
Qin Luo walked over, pulled out a tissue, and held it to Su Muwan's nose.
"Mmm—swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~~"
Su Muwan felt better.
Qin Luo helplessly said, "Young Miss, didn't you say you were going to recruit members for our forces?"
"Why are you playing games again?"
As he spoke, Qin Luo looked at the black monkey on the TV screen.
This was a new game he bought for Su Muwan today, called Black Myth: Wukong.
But because the name was too long, and the protagonist was a monkey.
So Su Muwan always called it...
"Eh~ but I just want to play Monkey God now~"
Su Muwan swayed her body.
Tomorrow's matters could wait until tomorrow; right now, she just wanted to play.
"Sigh."
Qin Luo sighed.
Well, looks like he'd have to search for talent himself.
After all....
His newly acquired reward [Iron Blood Leader (Will increase the morale of all force members, doubling their combat power)]
Had an extremely powerful effect.
A mysterious look appeared in Qin Luo's eyes.
The more people they had, the stronger this title's benefits would be.
Currently, their somewhat serious force members included... the Situ Family, Jiang Zixuan, Huang Lingfeng, Huang Lingyu, and the Divine Doctor and his disciples.
The Divine Doctor himself didn't have much influence; those big families only gave him face because of his medical skills, so they couldn't be counted as force members.
So... the numbers were still too few.
These underworld forces were expanding far faster than them.
In that case.
Qin Luo looked at the loyalty value panel.
725, this was the amount accumulated from that night until now.
Hmm.
Enough.
He mentally commanded.
"Little Dog, spend it all to search for... A-rank or above talent!"
[Yes, master!]
[Starting search now!]
[.....]
[Found one person, cost 100 loyalty points!]
[Chen Gong, T1 protagonist of "When You Ignored My Love Before, Why Are You Crying Now That I've Stopped Chasing?"]
Hmm? So it's even possible to find protagonists?

't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.

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."
