After Xiao Zhan spit out that mouthful of blood, filled with endless humiliation and monstrous hatred, the hatred in his bloodshot eyes did not diminish, but intensified!
He stared intently at Lu Cheng's figure on the television screen, his teeth grinding, as if he wanted to devour him alive!
Ye Shuying's face was also pale; she had never seen such a distraught, such... terrifying Dragon King!
Hu Sha, on the other hand, immediately burst into curses, spewing out all kinds of foul language as if it cost nothing, making the entire room buzz!
"Lu Cheng! It's Lu Cheng again!"
"I'm going to kill him right now! Chop him into eighteen pieces and feed him to the dogs! No! Feed him to the turtles!"
His eyes were blood red, like a mad beast, and he suddenly stood up, about to rush out recklessly!
At this moment, it was Xiao Zhan, the most emotional one, who, after the explosion of extreme anger and despair, entered a state of... uh, calmed down.
He looked at Hu Sha, who was like a mad tiger, only wanting to throw his life away, and his voice was hoarse but unusually calm as he slowly spoke:
"Hu Sha, if you go after him now, you'll only be... seeking death."
Hu Sha was stunned, looking at Xiao Zhan in disbelief, the anger on his face instantly replaced by bewilderment: "Dragon King? How could you..."
He was a bit confused. Was this still the Dragon King he knew, who would start a massacre at the slightest disagreement?
A deep-seated hatred, and a hint of... apprehension, flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes.
He said, enunciating each word:
"That Lu Cheng, I've fought him before. His strength is at least peak Dark Force..."
"And, if the intelligence Shuying gathered earlier isn't wrong."
"He definitely has more than one Dark Force level expert by his side."
"We... underestimated him from the start."
Hu Sha was completely dumbfounded!
Damn it!
He had been a mercenary overseas for so many years, through hails of bullets, narrowly escaping death countless times, and only recently, by sheer luck, broke through to early Dark Force!
And that was already enough for him to climb to a core position as one of the Three Dragon Guards in the Dragon Hall!
Experts at the Dark Force level could basically walk unhindered in those chaotic overseas regions!
How could it be... that upon returning to this seemingly peaceful and harmless city in the Dragon Kingdom.
Any seemingly delicate and weak young master had strength comparable to the Dragon King?
How the hell... was he supposed to play this game?
For the first time, and the first time in his life, Hu Sha felt a profound sense of powerlessness and... frustration.
This Dragon Kingdom... this Magic City... the waters were too deep!
Bottomless!
And Tie Bi, who had always been silent, now had a gloomy expression on his face, which was usually like an eternal iceberg.
Those sacrificed brothers were all companions he had personally trained, who had crawled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood with him, and faced death together!
He hadn't expected that barely half a month after setting foot on the Dragon Kingdom's soil, they would be almost completely wiped out!
Their opponent was actually a terrifying existence whose strength was comparable to the Dragon King's, and whose background was even more unfathomable.
He even... deep down, began to vaguely resent why the Dragon King insisted on returning!
Why did he have to provoke such an unstoppable monster!
If it weren't for that so-called wife and daughter, how could their Dragon Hall have fallen into such a tragic state?
Xiao Zhan, meanwhile, began to frantically think and analyze the current situation.
Lu Cheng was powerful, surrounded by numerous experts, and heavily guarded.
A head-on confrontation?
With their current few remaining soldiers, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock, inviting self-destruction.
If that was the case... then they could only... approach it from another angle!
Mu Wanrou!
Yes! Wanrou!
In Xiao Zhan's eyes, a fanatical and crazed light flickered once more!
Wanrou... she must have been deceived by that scumbag Lu Cheng!
He didn't believe that in just three short years, Wanrou would completely forget him.
It must be that Lu Cheng used some despicable means, or Wanrou was now helpless!
As long as he could show her hope, show her his strength and sincerity, she would definitely change her mind!
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan's thoughts gradually became clearer.
He remembered the massive multinational company under the Dragon Hall — Longteng Group.
This Longteng Group had a market value of tens of billions of US dollars overseas, with businesses spanning multiple fields, serving as a crucial economic source for the Dragon Hall's survival and development, and also their best cover identity for operating around the world.
Yes! Longteng Group!
I can completely appear before Wanrou openly, using the identity of Longteng Group's CEO!
Under the guise of seeking business cooperation and discussing investments, I can approach Mu Corporation!
This way, it can both conceal our true intentions, avoid alerting the enemy, and also demonstrate my current strength and... sincerity to Wanrou!
Let her see that I, Xiao Zhan, am no longer the bullied beggar boy I once was!
I am now a formidable dragon crossing the river, in charge of a multi-billion dollar business empire!
Xiao Zhan's eyes gleamed with shrewdness and calculation, and he looked at Ye Shuying, ordering in a deep voice:
"Shuying, immediately prepare to send a formal business cooperation negotiation invitation to Mu Corporation in Magic City, in the name of Longteng Group."
"The scale must be grand, the posture must be strong, to make them understand that our Longteng Group is coming with sincerity and immense benefits."
"And, in the invitation letter, explicitly request a face-to-face meeting with the current CEO of Mu Corporation, Miss Mu Wanrou."
Ye Shuying's heart sank upon hearing Xiao Zhan's plan.
She had clearly and thoroughly reported the intimate relationship between Lu Cheng and Mu Wanrou!
Why was the Dragon King... still unwilling to give up?
The current Mu Wanrou was no longer the Wanrou he remembered.
Did he intend to move her with wealth?
Whose wealth could compare to the Lu family's anyway?
But looking at Xiao Zhan's unquestionable eyes, filled with obsession and resolve, she knew that nothing she said now could change his decision.
She could only sigh silently in her heart, bowing her head to accept the order: "Yes, Dragon King, your subordinate will attend to it immediately."
...Meanwhile.
At Luo Qingyan's residence.
Inside the bedroom, the atmosphere was ambiguous.
After a session of "deep and shallow," "mutual learning" "acupuncture research."
Luo Qingyan, like a delicate flower kissed by sweet dew, softly nestled in Lu Cheng's broad embrace, her pretty face still flushed with a captivating blush that hadn't faded, her breathing shallow and rapid, her eyes watery and hazy.
She now... completely understood what Lu Cheng meant by "You'll learn things very quickly"... This man... was simply a demon!
He was a devil!
Not only was his medical skill unfathomable, but even... even in *that* kind of thing... he was so strong that one simply couldn't resist... Lu Cheng, on the other hand, played with the soft, lustrous black hair of the beauty in his arms with a satisfied expression, feeling the smooth, delicate texture of her skin, and her delicate body that trembled slightly with passion.
Hmm, this high-mountain flower had finally been completely plucked by him.
The taste, indeed, was much sweeter than he had imagined.
And as a descendant of a traditional Chinese medicine family, in certain "special" adjustments and cooperations, it truly... had a unique charm!
He picked up his phone and glanced at the message sent by his subordinate.
[Target: Shen Yan, confirmed to attend the Song Foundation's "Annual Charity Auction Gala" in two days.]
Shen Yan... Charity Auction Gala... A knowing smile played on Lu Cheng's lips.
It seemed that the idle move he had made earlier was finally about to come into play.
This diligent "treasure-hunting rat" had finally started working hard.
He just wondered what kind of treasure he would dig up.
