Deng Wenbin, the powerful head of Qihui Long Country, had knelt.
Before a man barely in his twenties!
HISS…
Everyone present gasped in shock, feeling as if they were hallucinating.
It’s no exaggeration to say that a single word from Deng Wenbin could send tremors through Jin City’s economy.
Even the Jin City Lord himself would have no choice but to bow respectfully before him!
A man who was a living legend in Jin City was kneeling in public to some kid in his early twenties!
If word of this got out, no one would believe it.
But now, this incredible scene was unfolding right before their very eyes.
GULP!
Li Hongrui couldn’t help but swallow hard.
He never imagined that Lin Haochen could be this powerful.
‘Making Deng Wenbin kneel…
Forget about a small place like Jin City, there are probably only a handful of people in the entire world who could accomplish that, right?’
At that moment, he felt as if his brain had been dealt a massive blow.
He was in a daze, completely unsure of what to do.
‘Just who is this Lin Haochen?’
Seeing this, the client manager and the two security guards who had been about to attack immediately dropped to their knees and begged for their lives.
Their own boss was kneeling.
For the three of them who had offended Lin Haochen, there was only one path left: death.
“I was unaware of Lord Netherworld King’s personal arrival and failed to greet you properly.
Please, my Lord, forgive my transgression!”
Deng Wenbin pressed his forehead to the floor, his voice trembling as he spoke.
He wouldn’t have been this panicked if it were merely a matter of not knowing Lin Haochen had arrived.
But he had the misfortune of being stuck with such clueless employees!
‘I just hope the Netherworld King doesn’t take his anger out on me because of this.’
If the Netherworld King was angered, forget about Deng Wenbin, who was merely the head of Qihui Long Country.
Even the true leader of the Qihui Conglomerate—the eighth-richest person in the world—couldn’t afford the consequences.
But Lin Haochen remained silent.
This left Deng Wenbin drenched in a cold sweat, feeling as if he were in Hell itself.
Every second that passed was an eternity of torment.
‘So this…
is the Netherworld King’s aura?’
After a full minute of silence, Lin Haochen finally turned his gaze slowly toward Deng Wenbin.
Deng Wenbin felt Lin Haochen’s eyes on him.
His entire body tensed up, and he didn’t dare to even breathe.
“Lin Mushu is my sister.”
‘Lin Mushu?
Isn’t she the chairman of Muchen Group?!’
A sudden chill ran down Deng Wenbin’s spine.
He and Li Hongrui had just settled on a strategy to drag down Muchen Group, then acquire its valuable assets at a low price.
‘If I had actually gone through with that, I wouldn’t even know what hit me!’
“Please rest assured, Lord Netherworld King.
I know what to do!”
Deng Wenbin replied at once.
The fact that the Netherworld King had come to warn him personally meant there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
‘This was a blessing in disguise!’
“Get up.”
‘It would save me so much trouble if everyone was as perceptive and quick-witted as Deng Wenbin.’
‘As for Li Hongrui, there’s only one path for him: death!’
‘The only reason I didn’t kill him this morning was because Lin Mushu was there.
It wasn’t a good time to make a move.’
After speaking, Lin Haochen rose from the sofa and walked over to the dumbfounded Li Hongrui.
As Lin Haochen drew near, Li Hongrui was jolted back to his senses.
With a THUD, he fell to his knees, grabbing Lin Haochen’s right leg and begging for his life.
“I was wrong, I was wrong!
Uncle Lin, I’m begging you, please let me go!
I’ll never do it again!
I’ll never go after your sister again.”
Li Hongrui clung to Lin Haochen’s leg, snot and tears streaming down his face as he begged for mercy.
A being who could force Deng Wenbin to his knees was far beyond what he, the chairman of Wansheng Group, could ever hope to challenge.
Begging for mercy was his only option.
But Lin Haochen had no intention of sparing him or Wansheng Group.
Anyone who dared to go after Lin Mushu would never be forgiven!
BANG!
Lin Haochen sent Li Hongrui flying over ten meters with a single kick, leaving the already pathetic man in an even more wretched state.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Lin Haochen advanced on Li Hongrui step by step.
The only sound in the entire Qihui Building was the echo of his footsteps.
Watching Lin Haochen draw closer, Li Hongrui scrambled backward on the floor.
In his eyes, Lin Haochen was the Grim Reaper himself.
“Give me one reason to spare you.
If you can, I’ll only kill you.
If you can’t, I’ll kill your entire family!”
Lin Haochen said, standing over Li Hongrui, his voice laced with killing intent.
It was August in Jin City, and the temperature could soar past forty degrees Celsius, but everyone in the Qihui Building lobby felt a bone-piercing chill!
This was the second time Lin Haochen had threatened to kill Li Hongrui’s entire family.
And now, not a single person doubted he meant it.
Lying on the floor, Li Hongrui trembled uncontrollably.
His mind raced, desperately searching for a reason for Lin Haochen to spare him.
But how could such a reason be easy to find?
The things he’d said in Lin Mushu’s office that morning were enough to get him killed several times over, to say nothing of his arrogance in front of Lin Haochen just moments ago.
“I…
I…
I was wrong.
I was really wrong!
Please, I’m begging you, spare me!
Spare my family.”
As Lin Haochen began to walk out of the lobby, Li Hongrui still hadn’t come up with a reason, so all he could do was continue to beg.
But Lin Haochen left without a word or a backward glance.
He knew Deng Wenbin would take care of everything.
“Farewell, Lord Netherworld King!”
As Lin Haochen walked out of the lobby, Deng Wenbin bowed toward him and spoke with the utmost respect.
Watching Lin Haochen leave, Li Hongrui’s voice died in his throat.
His mind went blank.
But soon, Deng Wenbin’s voice rang in his ears.
“You’d better pray right now that your family has never done anything heinous.
Otherwise, not even the gods can save them.
“As for you, the best result you can hope for is to take your own life!”
