Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Three days later, on a manor on a mountain close to Fu City, the lights were shining brightly.

In front of the gate of the manor, there was a lot of traffic, with people coming and going. The people who were entering were all important individuals with a lot of influence throughout the entire Min Province.

It was a rare sight, for these individuals who were normally unavailable to ordinary people to be scrambling to enter this manor on the mountains.

There were even some less influential politicians and businessmen, who had used various methods at their disposal to acquire an invitation, rushing to pay respects.

It was simply because the host of this dinner party was the Holy Dragon Corporation, which had a shocking amount of influence over the world economy, and which they had heard much about.

The capabilities of the Holy Dragon Corporation were naturally beyond all doubt, and the higher one’s status, the more well-known the Holy Dragon Corporation was to them.

They had even heard that they were supported by a hidden sect, though these were only rumors, and nobody had seen proof of it.

To be precise, there were always legends about hidden sects, but nobody had really seen one in action.

And this time, the son of the Song family in the Holy Dragon Corporation intended to invade Min Province. He invited all the prominent individuals in Min Province, and in an instant, attracted many of them who had their own ideas.

Night had not yet fallen, and the manor was already filled with many guests. Many of them could only stand in the corners, as to be frank, even tycoons with a net worth of over a billion were unremarkable in this crowd, and did not dare to stand in the center and draw undue attention.

These people gathered in small groups of twos and threes, quietly discussing what this event was about.

“Do you all know why the Holy Dragon Corporation suddenly announced their entry into Min Province?” someone asked in a low whisper.

Around them, the old bosses shook their heads, not knowing the reason why.

“I heard that this Song Shijie spent many years studying abroad and handling business for the Song family overseas. However, a month ago, he suddenly returned to this country, and then quickly finalized the decision to enter the Min Province!”

“Who on earth is the Song Shijie, and how high is his status within the Holy Dragon Corporation?”

Someone asked this because, based on their understanding, there were many families that made up the Holy Dragon Corporation, and the Song family was just one of them.

“I’ve heard that this Song Shijie is the most outstanding scion of the Song family in this generation. They say that when he was overseas, he beat back many of the foreign factions. His position in the Holy Dragon Corporation is also very high, and he is in the top two among the younger generation. In the future, he is one of the hopefuls to lead the Holy Dragon Corporation!”

When many of the others heard this, the unconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. It should be known that the Holy Dragon Corporation was an organization of an extremely large scale. To be an outstanding individual in this organization, and become one of the shortlisted candidates for helming the Holy Dragon Corporation in the future, it was enough proof of his elite capabilities.

“Nobody dares to defy the Song family. Especially now that the Song family is clearly prepared to break into the Min Province, do we have any other choice than to attend? If anyone does not show them face now, they may become the target for attacks in the future!”

A group of old bosses complained bitterly. With their status, they were at the top of the financial world, but now they had to lower their heads to a youngster.

But then, one of the old bosses holding a wine glass whispered quietly, “Did you hear this snippet of news?”

“What news?” someone else immediately asked urgently.

“Rumor has it that three days ago, this young master from the Song family came up to Yang Chengsi’s front door and attacked him, leaving him with heavy injuries. He wanted to boldly snatch away the business of selling Vajra Amulets right then and there!” the person said in an enigmatic way.

“What? How is that possible?” The old bosses who were listening all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Needless to say, they all knew about Vajra Amulets. It was the talismans that had suddenly appeared on the market in the past month.

In the beginning, they did not believe in the power of the Vajra Amulet at all, thinking it was some kind of ancient superstition.

However, they quickly confirmed that the Vajra Amulets did indeed work as advertised, and were able to block attacks from bullets.

Then, when they wanted to buy some for themselves, they discovered that they could not, as it was limited to one piece per person.

If not, any of them could buy out the entire stock of Vajra Amulets.

Even so, there were many other people who could not even afford one.

It cost a hundred thousand per piece, which really was not a huge sum. Anyone who was slightly wealthy could afford one. One could easily imagine how large the market for Vajra Amulets could become if the demand could keep up with the supply. It would be an infinitely growing market.

It was not that nobody else wanted a share of the market, but the business was personally run by the Master of the Coalition of the Woods in Min Province, Yang Chengsi. Moreover, it was said that he was backed by the top dog of Min Province, Mister Lu.

Who would dare try to stick their fingers into this business?

Yet, the reality of the situation was telling them that there was someone who dared!

Still, considering the might of the Holy Dragon Corporation, many did not consider it out of the ordinary. A normal faction may not have the strength to interfere, but the Holy Dragon Corporation was different, and they did indeed possess such strength.

In the manor, there was a lady holding a wine glass. She was in a burgundy evening dress. The expensive branded evening dress brought out the best of her curvaceous figure.

It was Lin Miaoyi of the Taichu Group’s Lin family, who had not seen Lu Xuan again for many months.

Over the past several months, she had developed an even more extraordinary air, and one could clearly tell she was different from an ordinary woman. Even the many other beautiful women present only helped to emphasize her attractiveness.

Not too far away, Ling Huang from the Ling Group held his daughter Ling Fei’s arm as they entered the premises.

Ling Fei was dressed in a white evening dress, highlighting her curvaceous figure and exquisite makeup. It was obvious that she had taken a lot of care to dress up for the occasion tonight.

“Dad, you said Mister Lu would come?” Ling Fei asked carefully.

“He will definitely come!”

Ling Huang nodded, then surveyed his surroundings.

“Based on the information I received, Mister Lu’s subordinate was heavily injured by Song Shijie. Normally, Mister Lu might seem to be gentle and warm, but that’s only when nobody is provoking him. Once someone crosses him, he will not let them go easily. He will definitely be here today!”

Ling Huang believed that he had a considerable understanding of Lu Xuan’s character. If Lu Xuan quietly accepted what had happened, then that would truly be beyond his expectations.

But he did not believe that would happen!

Suddenly, at this exact moment, Ling Fei’s gaze flickered as she sighted something. She did not know when it happened, but at one of the buffet tables in the corner, a casually dressed young man had appeared and was gorging himself.

He obviously stood out from the rest of the crowd, who were dressed in their finery.

Nobody knew how he had got in, and even more surprisingly, the people around him were completely ignoring the young man, as though they did not see him.

He was truly being disregarded!

When her gaze fell onto the young man’s figure, he looked up and flashed her a small smile.

Covering her mouth in surprise, Ling Fei realized the man was none other than Lu Xuan!
