Gazing at the distance, Gu Chenan was sitting on a merry-go-round, rhythmically rising and falling with the music.
Li Rufeng and the others stared with wide eyes.
"What the heck?"
"What's Gu Chenan's hobby, riding the merry-go-round?"
"Even if he's accompanying a girl, it seems a bit off, doesn't it?"
Everyone gawked, as if they had discovered a new continent.
However, Li Rufeng had a flash of insight and an idea occurred to him.
Wasn't Gu Chenan dating Xiao Yajie? How come he's at the amusement park with this other girl?
Could it be... he's playing the field!
Wow! Big news!
Li Rufeng was startled.
If I threaten him with this, Gu Chenan might give us money to avoid trouble with the Xiao family!
After all, for the Donghai Gu family, the least valuable thing is money!
With this thought, Li Rufeng felt he had a strong bargaining chip today!
But what he didn't know was that Gu Chenan wasn't actually dating Xiao Yajie, even if he was, he wouldn't be afraid of this threat.
The group squatted on the curb by the parking lot for a good while until the amusement park grew less crowded as night fell and they saw Gu Chenan preparing to leave.
"Gu Chenan is heading towards the parking lot."
Someone whispered, and all the disciples immediately stood up.
"Young Master Gu, long time no see!" Li Rufeng greeted with his disciples as Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon walked into the parking lot.
"Director Li, long time no see," Gu Chenan greeted calmly.
Seeing Li Rufeng, Gu Chenan knew why he was here.
At the same time, Gu Chenan wasn't surprised, in fact, he was looking forward to it... or rather, excited.
After all, once Li Rufeng was eliminated, no one in Suhang could challenge Lin Yu's dominance!
Li Rufeng carefully worded his speech, "Young Master Gu, Liang Bufan's serious injury has already cost a lot in medical expenses. I shouldn't bother you again, but..."
Pausing here, Li Rufeng deliberately looked at Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan scoffed disdainfully, "Li Rufeng, don't pretend, isn't it just to get an explanation for your disciple?"
Gu Chenan's words didn't leave Li Rufeng any face at all. In fact, he was intentionally trying to provoke Li Rufeng, ideally into a fit of rage that would make him attack.
If that happened, Gu Chenan could justifiably kill Li Rufeng!
As expected, after those words, Li Rufeng's face changed as his dignity was challenged in front of his disciples.
"Gu Chenan! How could you be so excessive? I can't just let the matter of my disciple being injured slide!"
Dammit, you broke Liang Bufan's arm and damaged his Ancient Martial Arts skills, yet you're still so arrogant?
At least... pay some compensation!
"Humph." Gu Chenan coldly snorted in disdain, "Then I'd like to see what you can do to me."
"You!" Li Rufeng froze.
He really didn't know what he could do to Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan's skills surpassed his own, and direct confrontation might not end well.
After a moment's thought, he decided to use his family's background to pressure Gu Chenan. After all, the Li family was a major clan, albeit declining, but Gu Chenan should at least give the Li family some face, right?
"Gu Chenan, the Li family has connections not just in Suhang but also many Ancient Martial Arts experts among our clansmen. Are you really going to be so overbearing?"
Gu Chenan waved his hand impatiently, "Enough babbling, either take action or get lost."
These words infuriated not just Li Rufeng, but also his disciples who could no longer hold back.
"Gu Chenan! Mind your tongue!"
"You injured Brother Liang so severely, yet you're still so arrogant, you're lawless!"
"We know you're skilled, but we outnumber you ten to one, and you still have to protect that girl. Two fists can't beat four hands, you better behave!"
These words made Gu Chenan laugh.
He glanced at Hoshino Kannon, whose narrowed eyes betrayed a dangerous look.
[Me protect her? Do you know who she is?]
[In the original story, she was the most dangerous female demon!]
[Coming at us while we're snuggling, aren't you asking to get killed?]
Beside him, Li Rufeng's expression changed after hearing his disciples' words, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
"Young Master, you wouldn't want the Xiao family to know you brought another woman to the amusement park today, would you?"
[Huh?]
Gu Chenan was stunned, blinking at the smirking Li Rufeng.
[Those words coming from this old bastard Li Rufeng sound so weird.]
"Ahem." Gu Chenan cleared his throat, looking amused, "You're truly brain-dead, really."
Simple insults, ultimate pleasure!
"Gu Chenan, what do you mean!" Li Rufeng immediately grew furious after hearing this.
"What I mean..." Gu Chenan pulled Hoshino Kannon's slender waist close, looking at Li Rufeng with an expression of 'you don't understand my joy', "Go ahead, go tell the Xiao family, or do you want to take a picture of us right now?"
"What, could it be..."
Li Rufeng and the disciples trembled.
They considered a possibility that shocked them greatly.
That is...
Gu Chenan wasn't playing the field, but was involved with another woman with Xiao Yajie's permission!
Otherwise, why would he be so confident?!
"Gu Chenan, you... we'll let the matter of compensating Liang Bufan slide for today, otherwise..."
Li Rufeng clenched his fists and glanced at his disciples around him.
Receiving Li Rufeng's signal, everyone knew how to handle the current situation.
"Gu Chenan, pay us compensation for our senior brother, or we'll all charge you at once, you definitely won't come out unscathed!"
"That's right, you still have to protect this girl, you have no chance of getting away unharmed!"
"Gu Chenan, you wouldn't want this girl to see you in such a sorry state, would you?"
The group advanced, chests puffed out arrogantly, as if they had Gu Chenan in their grasp.
However, Gu Chenan only smiled faintly.
[This is exactly what I've been waiting for!]
[Maybe over ten of you would be hard for me alone to defeat, but with Hoshino Kannon it's a totally different story!]
[You say I won't come out unscathed? You'll be eating shit!]
"Fine, I didn't want to fight you initially, but you keep provoking me again and again."
"If that's the case, let's settle this once and for all!"
"Come on, you old bastards, eat my fist!"
Saying that, Gu Chenan rolled up his sleeves, then raised his hand in an extremely provocative gesture.
Seeing that Gu Chenan was dead set on fighting, Li Rufeng gestured with his hand.
"Since the Young Master isn't willing to talk, then let's not talk, attack directly!"
...
I'll speed things up so that after Gu Chenan defeats the Black Owl, he'll return to the real world.
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."
