Shen Yuan and the others all stared at the security captain in bafflement.
He had done you a favor?
So you couldn't lay a hand on your boss's enemy?
The security guards exchanged bewildered glances. What the hell?
Had their captain lost his mind today?
The boss was the one paying their salaries!
If this guy had done you a favor, then repay him yourself!
Why were you using them to return the favor?
Dream on!
Ling Zhantian let out a light chuckle. “Mr. Lu, see that? This is what I’m capable of!”
“Even the captain of your security team is one of my people!”
“Go ahead and order your guards to attack me again!”
Ling Zhantian wore a look of utter disdain.
The security guards were speechless.
Wait a minute…
The captain said he wouldn’t attack. We never said we wouldn’t!
Captain, don’t drag us into this!
Brothers, take him down!
Lu Xiao fell silent.
Lu Yong was even more useless, not saying a word.
Shen Yuan covered his face. “You’re the captain, right? You can’t make a move, right? Fine!”
“Then get lost!”
Shen Yuan pointed at the security captain. “Where’s the deputy captain?”
“I own twenty percent of the Lu Group. I’m a boss too!”
“Deputy captain?” Shen Yuan called out.
“Here!”
A man stepped out from behind the captain.
“You’re the security captain now!” Shen Yuan said. “Double his salary!”
“Yes, sir!”
The deputy captain looked as though he had just been injected with adrenaline. “Brothers, get him!”
The security captain froze. “Stop! All of you, stop!”
“Stop this!”
The deputy captain kicked the captain away.
The guards behind him swarmed forward and threw the captain straight out.
What an idiot!
We wanted to fight just now, and you told us to stop?
Are you out of your mind?
Our families are counting on us to support them. We still need our boss to pay our wages.
Who the hell do you think you are?
“Stop!” Ling Zhantian shouted.
None of the guards paid him any attention. After tossing out the captain, they charged straight at Ling Zhantian.
Ling Zhantian’s gaze instantly turned icy. “I said stop!”
He suddenly grabbed one of the security guards by the arm. With a sharp crack, he snapped it cleanly.
“Didn't you hear me?”
Ling Zhantian looked as though he had become a god of war. He shouted arrogantly, “Are you looking to die?”
However, what greeted him…
Were eight swinging batons!
Security guards: (╬￣皿￣)＝○＃(￣＃)３￣)
You bastard! You colluded with the captain and ruined our livelihood!
You even injured one of our brothers…
And you still expect us to stop?
Brothers, beat him to death!
Ling Zhantian: “Fine, fine, fine!”
“I can't believe no one's listening to a word I say anymore!”
He grabbed all eight batons in one hand and said coldly, “Looks like none of you want to live!”
“Lu Xiao, I originally planned to let you two brothers enjoy a few more peaceful days…”
“But now…”
“I'm sending you straight to hell!”
“And then I'll send your parents there too!”
Ling Zhantian roared, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
A violent aura erupted from him, forcing the security guards several steps backward.
He raised his hand, determined to show these guards what a martial artist was capable of.
But then someone grabbed his hand.
Ling Zhantian's pupils shrank.
How was this possible?
How had this man gotten here?
Why hadn't he sensed him at all?
“Easy, easy!”
Xiao Ce gripped Ling Zhantian's wrist. “The guards were taking you outside just now, which was perfectly legal and reasonable!”
“You resisted and broke the guard's arm. That's intentional assault!”
Xiao Ce smiled faintly. “Ling Zhantian, do you plead guilty?”
“I plead your motherfucking ass guilty!”
“What kind of dogshit are you?”
Ling Zhantian roared furiously. His right hand unleashed its full strength as he tried to break free.
He raised his left hand, true qi gathering in his palm, accompanied by terrifying power…
And then…
That hand was grabbed too.
“Easy, easy!”
Chu Yang had somehow darted over.
He was also gripping one of Ling Zhantian's hands. “Brother Ce told you to plead guilty, so just plead guilty like a good boy!”
Ling Zhantian: …(⊙＿⊙；)…
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to be doing?
Aren’t I invincible?
How did someone else manage to catch me before I even realized what was happening?
“Relax, relax.”
Chu Yang gave a sly grin. “It was wrong of you to make the first move. All you have to do is admit your guilt!”
“Admit your ass!”
Ling Zhantian roared, “Let go of me, damn it!”
At this very moment, he had unleashed his full power, yet he still couldn’t break free…
Ling Zhantian: Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
I’m already a peak-level Innate martial artist!
Shen Yuan, meanwhile, had already reached Rong Yan and was looking down at her from above.
“Rong Yan, I remember telling you last time…”
“If you dared show up in front of me again, I’d kill you!”
The corner of Shen Yuan’s mouth curled upward.
“Bullshit! You never said that!”
Rong Yan shouted, “You really didn’t say it!”
Smack!
Shen Yuan had no intention of sparing her just because she was a woman. He slapped her across the face. “I didn’t say it? Couldn’t you figure it out for yourself?”
“Didn’t you learn reading comprehension in school?”
“Every word I say carries a deeper meaning.”
“Couldn’t you try to understand the author’s state of mind?”
Shen Yuan sneered.
“You… How dare you hit me!”
Rong Yan shrieked angrily and lunged at Shen Yuan, clawing at him.
Shen Yuan kicked Rong Yan away.
“Woman, recognize the difference between us!”
“You’re already crippled, yet you still dare attack me?”
Shen Yuan spoke with disdain.
Lu Xiao and Lu Yong: “…”
Brother Shen, isn’t hitting a girl a little unmanly?
“Brother Zhantian, save me!”
Shen Yuan took a step forward and planted his foot on Rong Yan. She immediately cried out in pain and began wailing.
“Bastard, let Yanzi go!”
“How dare you lay a hand on Yanzi…”
“I’ll kill your entire family!”
“Roar!”
As expected of a shameless womanizer~~~
Ling Zhantian didn’t love just one person. He had divided his heart into pieces and loved all of them!
He only wanted to give them all a complete family.
In his fury, Ling Zhantian let out a roar, and the aura around him suddenly condensed into something tangible.
At that moment, he broke through the bottleneck that had held him back for years and successfully entered the Grandmaster realm.
Ling Zhantian was overjoyed. He threw back his head and roared, “I’m going to kill you all…”
He strained with all his might, but he couldn’t move.
Ling Zhantian: ＜(￣﹌￣)＞
I wasn’t using my full strength just now. Let’s try that again!
Ling Zhantian roared once more and pushed with all his strength.
Still, he couldn’t move.
Ling Zhantian: (ーー;)
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Smack!
Shen Yuan had already appeared in front of Ling Zhantian and slapped him across the face. “So she didn’t insult you, huh?”
“You dare hit me!?”
“Got the guts to do it again?”
Ling Zhantian’s eyes turned bloodshot as he bared his teeth in fury.
“Smack!”
Shen Yuan slapped him again. “Everyone heard him. He told me to hit him!”
“I’ve never heard such an outrageous request.”
Shen Yuan chuckled.
Everyone: “…”
“Shen Yuan, if you have the guts, kill me!”
Ling Zhantian gritted his teeth and spoke one word at a time. “So what if you’re the richest man in Magic City?”
“You’ve made an enemy of me. Your Shen family won’t know peace again!”
“If you don’t kill me today, I swear I’ll wipe out your entire family someday!”
“I’ll leave not a single one of you alive!”
Killing intent filled Ling Zhantian’s eyes as he seethed with rage. “The only way I’ll let this go is if you kneel down and beg me!”
Crack!
Xiao Ce and Chu Yang both kicked the backs of Ling Zhantian’s knees at the same time.
They used a little too much force…
And accidentally broke his legs.
With a thud, Ling Zhantian dropped to his knees.
“Sorry!”
Xiao Ce looked apologetic. “I didn’t realize you’d be so fragile. I broke your leg.”
“You can’t blame me, okay? It’s your fault for being so squishy.”
Ling Zhantian: “…”
(╬￣皿￣) Aaaargh!!
I’m going to wipe out your entire family!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
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.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
