The streets of Magic City were bustling with traffic.
Inside a taxi.
“Driver, you said just now that Liu Yanran is one of the Four Great Beauties of Magic City, as beautiful as a fairy. Tell me, just how beautiful is she?” Lin Tianyang drooled slightly, his face full of lewd curiosity.
“I don’t know how beautiful a fairy is,” the driver replied, “but I do know that Liu Yanran’s beauty is a dream that countless men in Magic City can only admire from afar.”
“She is the daughter of the Liu Family and the CEO of Liu Group. A true iceberg CEO, rich and beautiful.”
“Whoever marries her must have accumulated virtue in their past life.”
When speaking of the goddess in his heart, the driver grew animated.
“Oh, so Liu Yanran is that beautiful.”
“An iceberg CEO? Interesting. The fiancée the old man arranged for me isn’t bad.”
This time the old man had finally relented and allowed him to come down the mountain.
Not only that, he had even arranged a marriage for him.
Lin Tianyang had originally refused. After finally coming down, he intended to enjoy life. How could he let an engagement and a woman bind him?
But now, he could reconsider.
“Young man, are you talking nonsense?” The driver glanced back, his face filled with disdain. “Young people should keep their feet on the ground. Daydreaming only harms yourself.”
“A summer insect cannot speak of ice. I’m heading to Liu Group now. Whether I take a fancy to Liu Yanran, that remains to be seen.” Lin Tianyang did not get angry at the driver’s scorn. They were not on the same level.
His own standing was beyond what a mere taxi driver could comprehend.
“It’s good for young people to have lofty ambitions.”
“But as someone who’s lived longer, let me advise you. The Liu Family is not a place you can go, and Magic City is not a place you can come.”
“Go back early and you might keep your life. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.” The driver sighed and offered his warning.
“Just focus on driving. Don’t meddle in my business.” Lin Tianyang frowned, clearly displeased.
Having just come down the mountain, being lectured by a taxi driver dampened his good mood.
“You’ll understand when death is near,” the driver snorted, revealing a meaningful smile.
Too lazy to pay further attention, Lin Tianyang closed his eyes to rest. Suddenly, a strange unease rose in his chest, as if something was about to happen.
“Stop the car!”
A wave of danger surged through him. Without thinking further, Lin Tianyang leapt out of the taxi.
At the very moment he jumped, the driver spun the steering wheel violently, performing a full 360-degree turn on the spot before also jumping out.
At the same time, a Land Rover charged forward recklessly.
A shard of glass, by unfortunate coincidence, shot directly toward Lin Tianyang.
“Ah!”
A pig-like scream drowned out the explosion.
Lin Tianyang touched his now disfigured face, his expression dark and furious.
He knew someone was targeting him from behind the scenes.
He had just come down the mountain and was already being targeted. Even the face he had been so proud of was ruined.
More crucially, he did not even know who his enemy was. This was a great humiliation and a mortal grudge.
Not far away, reclining inside his vehicle, Chu Yuan looked at his handiwork with satisfaction.
“This protagonist isn’t much. Dressed in rags like a beggar. Now with that miserable face and disfigurement, no one would believe he isn’t a beggar.”
As he mused, he could not help but marvel at the modified bulletproof vehicle. Even the protagonist could not escape its impact.
“Shishi, drive over. I want to meet this kid.”
Hiding in the shadows to scheme was unnecessary.
As the Ultimate Villain, with the Ultimate Villain System and 1st stage Transformation Realm strength, not to mention the backing of the Chu Family, dealing with Lin Tianyang was a matter of minutes.
Zuo Shishi said nothing. With one press of the accelerator, the Land Rover performed a graceful drift and stopped directly in front of Lin Tianyang.
Lin Tianyang was searching everywhere for his enemy. He was not a kind person. His principle was revenge, and immediate revenge at that.
He did not expect the mastermind to appear before him so brazenly.
What angered him even more was that Chu Yuan rolled down the window and raised a single finger at him.
“You’re courting death!”
He had been disfigured and was still being mocked.
Lin Tianyang no longer needed to endure. Today, he would teach this brat a lesson.
He charged forward like a gale sweeping across the ground.
“Stop the villain! Protect the Young Master!”
At the command, more than twenty bodyguards who had been waiting rushed forward and formed a barrier in front of the Land Rover.
“Ants trying to shake a tree. Overestimating yourselves!”
Burning with rage, Lin Tianyang clenched his fists and attacked.
To him, these minor extras were nothing. He did not even exert full strength. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Yet in the next second, he paid the price for his arrogance.
After knocking down two bodyguards, a sudden punch caught him off guard.
Bang!
An iron fist struck his face hard, knocking out one of his front teeth.
“Mid-stage Hidden Force Realm?”
“I didn’t expect there to be a Hidden Force expert here.”
Lin Tianyang spat out blood and revealed a cruel smile.
“So what if it’s mid-stage Hidden Force Realm? You will pay for what you’ve done.”
Completely enraged, Lin Tianyang unleashed his full power. Like a wolf among sheep, he sent opponents flying with every punch.
Even the Hidden Force expert who had ambushed him could not withstand many exchanges and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Knowing they were no match, the bodyguards still held their ground, guarding the final line of defense.
Lin Tianyang now resembled a mad dog, charging wildly, having completely lost rationality.
Seeing how easily he was provoked, Chu Yuan, who was watching, felt somewhat speechless.
But it made sense. The oft-heard line, “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the poor youth,” was something powerless trash shouted to boost their presence.
Someone like Lin Tianyang, relying on a bit of strength and acting as if he were unrivaled, naturally believed in immediate revenge.
Chu Yuan liked such foolish protagonists. They added a bit of amusement to an otherwise dull life.
“Young Master, Jia Rong and the others can’t hold on much longer. Should I step in?” Zuo Shishi asked.
Jia Rong was the Hidden Force expert who had ambushed Lin Tianyang and one of the Chu Family’s retainers.
To deal with Lin Tianyang, Chu Yuan had mobilized more than ten Bright Force experts along with Jia Rong, a mid-stage Hidden Force powerhouse.
Such force would be more than enough to wipe out major families.
Yet against a protagonist like Lin Tianyang, it still seemed insufficient.
A mid-stage Hidden Force Realm expert like him could fight a hundred alone and even challenge opponents above his level.
Unfortunately for him, this was not a martial arts world. Being able to fight meant nothing.
Chu Yuan waved his hand, rejecting Zuo Shishi’s proposal, and calmly dialed the police.
