SSSS-Level Luck Incarnate

The air was as heavy as lead.

"On my turf, even if you are a dragon, you must coil up and submit."

Shen Fei's voice was calm.

But accompanying his words was the dark gold Heavenly Demonic Qi, condensed from his Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art.

A black wave of qi expanded outward from the office desk, leaving no blind spots.

"Protect the Captain!"

The burly man codenamed Iron Tower let out a furious roar.

His muscles instantly bulged, and he pushed his mid-stage Grandmaster protective astral qi to its absolute limit. Like a thick steel wall, he forcefully stood in front of Gu Qinghan.

Bang!

A dull thud echoed.

Iron Tower didn't even touch Shen Fei's body; he was merely swept by that invisible black wave of qi.

His proud physical conditioning and astral qi cracked instantly like paper mache, then shattered spectacularly.

His massive body, weighing over three hundred pounds, was lifted off his feet and sent flying backward.

He crashed heavily into the load-bearing wall on the side of the office.

Crack.

The sound of his sternum fracturing was clearly audible.

Iron Tower spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body sliding down the wall as he passed out on the spot.

An instant defeat.

Gu Qinghan's pupils contracted violently.

Iron Tower was a mid-stage Grandmaster, a top-ten physical combat expert within Dragon Abyss.

Yet he couldn't even withstand a single burst of Shen Fei's external aura!

Sirens of extreme danger blared madly deep within Gu Qinghan's brain.

Without any hesitation.

Sizzle—Crack!

The piercing sound of electric currents exploded in the office.

As the Captain of Dragon Abyss's Seventh Squad, Gu Qinghan's combat instincts were carved into her bones.

The very second Iron Tower was sent flying, her SSS-rank Lightning Ability erupted at full power.

Dazzling silver lightning surged from her body like wild snakes, completely enveloping her.

The strong scent of ozone filled the air.

Gu Qinghan's right foot viciously shattered the marble floor beneath her as she transformed into a silver blur.

Forming her right hand into a knife, she thrust straight at Shen Fei's throat, carrying a devastating lightning glow capable of cleaving through an armored vehicle.

Fast.

Extremely fast.

But Shen Fei, sitting in his executive chair, didn't even make a move to stand up.

Watching the lightning hand-blade inches away, he simply raised his right hand in an incredibly casual manner.

He opened his five fingers.

Thud.

The lightning struck his bare palm, producing a muffled sound.

Gu Qinghan's guaranteed lethal strike was caught firmly in Shen Fei's grasp.

It hovered less than ten centimeters from Shen Fei's throat, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch.

The violent silver lightning frantically bit along Shen Fei's arm, attempting to carbonize his flesh.

But Shen Fei's hand was like a bottomless cosmic black hole.

The moment the lightning touched his skin, it vanished silently.

"Lightning ability."

Shen Fei looked at Gu Qinghan's terror-stricken face with indifferent eyes.

"Decent power."

"Pity, you are too weak."

Shen Fei's five fingers abruptly closed.

"Devour."

Boom!

An extremely terrifying, freezing dark gold demonic qi instantly surged back out from Shen Fei's palm.

Like countless sharp black stingers, it forced its way along Gu Qinghan's wrist and pierced right into her meridians!

This was an overwhelming suppression.

Gu Qinghan's proud lightning origin, in the face of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, was like meeting its natural predator.

Not only could it not resist, but it was directly torn apart, enveloped, and devoured whole by the demonic qi!

Crack.

An extremely faint sound of her origin shattering echoed within Gu Qinghan's body.

Argh—!

The soul-deep agony made this iron-blooded Valkyrie, famous throughout the capital, let out a tragic, muffled groan.

Her normally frosty face instantly turned as pale as paper, veins bulging on her forehead.

Shen Fei let go.

Gu Qinghan looked as if she had been struck by lightning herself, uncontrollably staggering back several steps. Her knees gave way, and with a thud, she fell to one knee in front of the desk.

She panted heavily, breaking out in a cold sweat.

To her horror, she discovered that the dazzling cluster of her lightning origin had been directly crushed by thirty percent from Shen Fei's grip!

Even more terrifyingly, an extremely overbearing, freezing black aura lingered in the deepest parts of her meridians.

Like an inerasable brand.

Sitting in his executive chair, Shen Fei pulled out a wet wipe and slowly, methodically wiped his hands.

"I don't like having guns pointed at me, nor do I like being questioned."

Shen Fei tossed the wipe into the trash can.

He took out a pre-prepared document from his drawer and casually tossed it onto the carpet in front of Gu Qinghan.

Resource Sharing Agreement.

"Two choices."

Shen Fei's voice held no warmth.

"Sign it. The privileges I want, your Dragon Abyss will provide. And you will stay out of my business."

"Or."

Shen Fei looked at Gu Qinghan kneeling on one knee.

"You don't walk out of this building today."

Dead silence.

The office was so quiet that only Gu Qinghan's heavy breathing could be heard.

As the sharp blade of Great Xia, when had Gu Qinghan ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?

To have a portion of her ability's origin crushed right to her face, and then be forced to sign a privilege agreement that directly compromised with a secular family.

She gritted her teeth tightly, staring at the document on the floor.

"Shen Fei, you are provoking the bottom line of the entire Dragon Abyss," Gu Qinghan said, her voice hoarse.

"You can try me," Shen Fei replied calmly.

Right at that moment.

Shen Qiuhan, who had been standing on the other side of the office so quietly she seemed nonexistent, suddenly had her tablet let out a crisp notification chime.

Shen Qiuhan glanced down at the screen.

The Queen of Ice Blades, who helmed a hundred-billion-dollar business empire, immediately flashed an extremely ruthless glint in her eyes.

Stepping in her high heels, she walked up to the desk and bowed her head slightly toward Shen Fei.

"Shen Fei. The net has been pulled."

Shen Qiuhan's voice wasn't loud, but her enunciation was incredibly clear, ensuring that the kneeling Gu Qinghan could hear every word.

"The Wang family's last heavy asset sector in the Hong Kong stock market was forcibly swallowed by our Tianji Fund three minutes ago."

"The two hundred billion in cash flow has been cleared. The Wang family's capital chain is completely broken."

"The seventy-three physical enterprises and five main-board listed companies under their name have all entered bankruptcy liquidation procedures. Major banks have begun forcibly freezing their collateral."

Shen Qiuhan paused, her tone growing even colder.

"Furthermore."

"The Old Master of the Wang family suffered a massive heart attack from extreme distress. His death was just confirmed in the emergency room of Hospital 301."

"The Wang family is finished."

"Starting today, the name of the Wang family will no longer exist in the capital's business landscape."

The report was finished.

Shen Qiuhan took a step back, returning to the shadows.

The CEO's office once again plunged into a suffocating dead silence.

Gu Qinghan knelt on the floor, her mind a complete blank.

Smashing the market with two hundred billion in cash flow.

The Wang family, one of the four great families of the capital, a political and business titan with a century-old legacy.

Had actually been completely erased from both a physical and economic level by the man in front of her in less than two short hours!

The family was ruined, with even the Old Master dying suddenly on the spot.

There was no smoke of gunpowder.

Yet it was bloodier and more cruel than a real war.

Gu Qinghan looked at Shen Fei sitting in the seat of power.

She finally understood why her superiors had repeatedly emphasized before sending her: Only probe, never burn bridges.

Because Longyuan could not afford to offend him.

In terms of martial prowess, Shen Fei could crush the ability origin of a Longyuan Senior Colonel like her with a single hand.

In terms of wealth, the Shen family could throw out two hundred billion without blinking an eye, crushing a top-tier noble family to death.

If they really burned bridges at the Shen Group today, Shen Fei would only need to move a finger, and tomorrow the entire economic system of Northern Great Xia would be buried along with the Wang family.

Millions of people's livelihoods, countless industrial chains.

What Shen Fei held in his hands was a nuclear button sufficient to make the rule-makers hold back for fear of collateral damage.

Shen Fei did not rush her.

He just sat there quietly, waiting for Gu Qinghan's decision.

A full minute passed.

Gu Qinghan slowly closed her eyes.

Enduring the tremors brought by the black aura wandering through her meridians, she reached out and picked up the Resource Sharing Agreement from the carpet.

She took out her military-issue fountain pen.

Uncapped it.

The nib touched the paper, making a rustling sound.

The three characters of Gu Qinghan were signed with extreme force, penetrating through the back of the paper.

Then, she took out the top-secret seal of Longyuan's Seventh Squad from her pocket and stamped it down hard.

The red ink was as glaring as blood.

The moment she finished signing, Gu Qinghan felt as if the last ounce of strength had been drained from her body.

She placed the agreement on the desk.

Stood up.

The agreement is signed.

Gu Qinghan did not say any more harsh words.

In the face of this man's absolute strength and tactics, any harsh words were merely a display of weakness.

She walked to the corner and with great difficulty hoisted the unconscious Iron Tower onto her shoulder.

Turned around and walked toward the door.

I will not see you out, Shen Fei said indifferently.

Gu Qinghan's footsteps paused for a moment.

She did not look back.

Shen Fei. You win. From now on, the mundane world's rules will be set by you.

But the waters of this world are much deeper than you see. Those truly terrifying things, Longyuan has suppressed them for a long time, and we are about to lose control.

Look out for yourself.

The door closed.

The office returned to tranquility.

Shen Fei tossed the signed agreement into a drawer.

The waters are deep?

Shen Fei did not care. The deeper the water, the chewier the fish inside.

He stood up and walked to the massive floor-to-ceiling window.

From the height of the 108th floor, he could overlook the bustling night view of the entire capital, with neon lights flashing and traffic weaving like a loom.

Young Master, should I send the hidden guards to pull them up by the roots? Shen Qiuhan stood behind him, respectfully asking for instructions.

No need.

Shen Fei put his hands in his pockets.

The Wang family, those pieces of trash from Longyuan, they do not even qualify to be harvested. Sending people would just be a waste of manpower.

Just as Shen Fei's voice faded.

Om—

Without any warning.

An extremely muffled, low rumble, as if coming from the deepest depths of the earth, suddenly spread throughout the entire capital.

Right after.

The 108-story building of the Shen Group began to shake violently.

The coffee cup on the desk instantly slid off and shattered into pieces.

Documents scattered all over the floor.

Shen Fei! It is an earthquake!

Shen Qiuhan's expression changed drastically as she hurriedly grabbed the edge of the desk to steady herself.

Shen Fei stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, his feet planted on the ground like nails, completely motionless.

This was absolutely no ordinary earthquake.

The building's seismic dampers had not triggered any alarms.

This kind of vibration was not a physical tectonic movement, but an extremely violent distortion and tearing originating from space itself!

Shen Fei's gaze was deadlocked in the direction of the capital's western suburbs.

System. Activate the Eye of Fortune. Maximum power.

The command was issued.

The real world before his eyes instantly lost its color.

Entering the deep-dimensional perspective of fortune.

Shen Fei saw an extremely shocking scene.

Above the continuous black mountains in the western suburbs.

Space.

Split open.

It was as if an invisible pair of ancient giant hands had forcibly torn open a massive rift several kilometers long in the sky over that area!

Endless golden light gushed out from the rift.

Accompanied by an extremely dense, utterly pure unknown energy.

This energy poured into the entire capital from the western suburbs like a flood breaking a dam.

The moment this energy swept through the building.

The originally calm Dark Gold Heavenly Demon True Qi within Shen Fei's body unexpectedly produced an extremely strong resonance and a sense of hunger!

In his mind, the system's piercing red alarm sounded frantically.

Warning!

High-dimensional spatial barrier breach detected!

Folded space has been opened!

Ultra-high concentration of unknown energy detected injecting into the real world... Analyzing...

Analysis complete!

Energy type classified: Spiritual Qi!

The original laws of the current Earth world are undergoing restructuring...

The hidden immortal cultivation sects have descended!

Immortal cultivation.

The system's cold electronic voice echoed in his mind.

Shen Fei stood before the violently shaking floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at this massive city undergoing earth-shattering changes.

He did not have the fear of ordinary people when facing celestial anomalies.

Reflected in his pitch-black eyes was the dazzling rift in the sky of the western suburbs.

He saw it.

Deep within that rift, an outrageously thick golden pillar of fortune light was slowly rising with an arrogance that despised everything.

The texture of that pillar of light was completely different from martial arts and superhuman abilities.

Light and ethereal.

Yet hiding an extremely terrifying murderous intent.

Immortal cultivation system Child of Fortune detected!

Current realm: Peak Foundation Establishment Stage!

Level Evaluation: SSSS-rank!

Shen Fei looked at that pillar of light representing the SSSS-rank Child of Fortune.

In this world, while the vast majority of people were still struggling for money and power, the immortals who truly possessed high-dimensional power had entered the fray.

Spiritual Qi pouring in, immortal cultivation descending.

Through the glass, Shen Fei slowly opened his right hand, as if grasping that torn night sky.

His brows furrowed tightly.

Then, a smile spread across his face.

Finally, some decent prey has arrived.
