Once he got into the Mercedes, Wang Bao lit up a Havana cigar, took a deep puff, and suddenly blew out a misty ring of smoke, the corner of his mouth revealing a cold sneer, "Heh, the Qin family, the Wu family, what of them? They're all just coming to die."
The confidant who was driving furrowed his brows, asking in confusion, "Brother Leopard, are you really planning to give the money Master Wei gave you to that old man inside?"
Wang Bao's face suddenly darkened as he scolded, "Idiot, that's my master, talk nonsense again and I'll cut off your tongue. Do you know who my master is? He is a Martial Emperor master, do you understand what that means?"
"I don't know," the loyal underling shook his head.
"If my master assists me, not to mention dominating just little Ta County, even ruling over Han City would be no issue at all," said Wang Bao with a cold laugh.
The confidant's face showed a look of shock.
...
In the evening, at the largest entertainment venue in Ta County, a cluster of luxury cars gathered at the entrance of 'Sea Zhen Guan Yuan' club, with beautiful women and various successful individuals coming and going.
"Changed into a new outfit, you actually look quite handsome," Song Yun said to Lin Mo.
At this moment, Lin Mo had changed into a fitted overcoat, and his slightly black and broken hair fluttered in the wind. Paired with a sunny yet resolute face, and a height of 1.83 meters, he looked very pleasant and handsome.
Lin Mo hadn't originally planned to come, but thinking that there was nothing for him at the Qin family's, he followed to pass some time. If he didn't deal with Wang Bao and those behind him, Hu Niu and Elder Zhou probably wouldn't be able to live in peace.
Song Yun was dressed in a white sweater and a small vest, her dyed chestnut hair tied up at the back of her head, her makeup delicate, giving her round face an extremely adorable look.
Qin Man was wearing a set of black sweater with a coffee-colored long overcoat outside, her long hair fluttering, exuding a strong woman's vibe.
The group walked into the club, Lin Mo, a man accompanied by two beautiful ladies, immediately attracting envious glances from numerous men.
Tonight, it was Wu Han from the Wu family who invited Qin Man to a KTV here. Qin Man also had matters to request from the Wu family, so she couldn't refuse.
Walking into the private room, there were roughly a dozen men and women inside, with flickering lights and an intoxicating mix of alcohol and beauty—a truly decadent and indulgent place.
"Xiao Man, you're here," suddenly a man dressed in a white suit with handsome and impressive looks came up to greet her, his face brimming with a radiant smile.
"Young Master Wu," Qin Man called out, her tone neither warm nor cold.
This man was Wu Han, the eldest son of the Wu family. The Wu family was also a big family in Han City, and they had been old friends with the Qin family. As the elders of the Qin family and Wu family watched the two grow up, they intentionally and unintentionally tried to match them, hoping for an alliance through marriage that would ensure no other existence in Han City could contend with the Wu and Qin families.
Yet, despite the prince having tender dreams, the goddess was indifferent. Wu Han had been pursuing Qin Man for a long time, but Qin Man's attitude towards him had always been lukewarm.
However, Wu Han knew that a woman's beauty and her cold demeanor are directly proportional. The colder Qin Man was towards him, the more it sparked his desire for victory.
"Xiao Man, don't worry about tomorrow's matter. My dad has personally come over. Just a ruffian from Ta County, I can take care of him with one hand," Wu Han said, unable to hide the pride on his face.
"If you really can handle the matter, I'll have to properly thank Uncle Wu," Qin Man said with a light smile.
As Wu Han spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Qin Man to go sit and drink on the sofa. However, Qin Man deftly avoided him, leaving Wu Han's hand to grab at empty air, immediately causing his face to turn somewhat embarrassed.
"Qin Man, your relationship with our Wu family—your matters are my matters; why be so formal?" A trace of gloom flashed across Wu Han's eyes.
"Yes, I heard Xiao Man and Young Master Wu are about to get married; why be shy?" someone teased.
"One is the Wu family's elegant young master, and the other is the flawless beauty, the Qin family's eldest daughter. They're a perfect match, don't you all agree?"
These people were all scions of the upper-class families from Han City and Ta County, and they all knew Wu Han and Qin Man, which immediately caused everyone to start jeering.
Song Yun's pretty face showed a trace of concern.
Meanwhile, Qin Man bit her thin lips hard, her eyes flickering uncertainly before she finally said, "Young Master Wu, my boyfriend is right here. Isn't this joke a bit too much?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire private room fell silent.
A glint of cold light flashed in Wu Han's eyes as his gaze immediately fell upon Lin Mo. He recognized most of the young masters from Han City's elite, or at least found their faces familiar, but seeing Lin Mo's unfamiliar face, he hadn't paid him any attention before.
As Qin Man spoke, she suddenly took Lin Mo's arm and said with a reserved smile, "Let me introduce you all, this is my boyfriend, Lin Mo."
"Who is Lin Mo?"
"There's no such figure in our Han City, right? I've never heard of any Lin family in Hei Province either."
Everyone looked at Lin Mo, starting another round of discussion. Meanwhile, Song Yun stood to the side, hastily making eye contact with Lin Mo, worried that Lin Mo would get angry at this time, and then Qin Man would be utterly embarrassed.
Lin Mo's eyes slightly narrowed. He had clearly rejected this woman's request and didn't expect her to pull a stunt like this at the last minute.
But seeing the plea in Qin Man's eyes, Lin Mo felt somewhat speechless. He remained silent, and to everyone else, it looked like he had tacitly agreed.
"Heh, Lin Mo, you dare to take Wu Han's woman?" Wu Han's eyes were raging, and he coldly said, "I'm giving you a chance now. Leave Qin Man, or else you'll face the consequences."
Who is Lin Mo to be threatened by anyone?
"If she likes me, that's her business. You have no right to threaten me. Believe it or not, I could kill you right now," Lin Mo said indifferently, with a chilling expression.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, everyone was once again taken aback.
The Wu family was a Martial Arts family in Han City, running many martial arts schools with hundreds of disciples. It was even said that Wu Han's father, Wu Chengyun, was a Martial Arts Master. Not even some powerful families dared to offend the Wu family.
"Damn it, I think this guy must be a foreigner, not knowing how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."
"Ignorance is fearlessness, eh? The kid's got his mind clouded by lust, not knowing whom he has offended."
"What did you say?" Wu Han's face turned red. As the young master of Han City's Wu family, no one had ever dared to talk to him like that.
Qin Man, holding onto Lin Mo's arm, said with a concerned expression, "I'm sorry, Young Master Wu. I have something else to attend to and must leave now. As for the favor I owe the Wu family, I will surely repay it to you."
With that, Qin Man, accompanied by Lin Mo and Song Yun, left the private room.
"Motherfucker, playing the White Lotus," Wu Han cursed, slamming his fist onto the glass table. The ten-centimeter-thick tempered glass immediately cracked like a spider web, his eyes ice-cold as he said, "Qin Man, there will come a day when you will beg for joy beneath me, and that pretty boy—both of you just wait."
Outside, the cold wind was howling.
"I'm sorry about just now…" Qin Man let go of Lin Mo's arm, saying with a bit of regret, "I had no choice just now."
"Don't repeat this," Lin Mo said indifferently. Then he got into the car by himself.
