After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

Inside the meeting room, the air was so thick it was suffocating.

Davis held a freshly cut Cuban cigar in his mouth, the flame flickering slightly.

He leaned over and pressed down on the mahogany table, his fingertips tapping lightly on the ink on the agreement, which was still wet.

"The Sheng Hui Consortium controls 30% of the world's pharmaceutical research and development and cutting-edge shipping."

Mr. Zhou, your wealth is nothing more than a string of numbers on a capital machine that can be erased at any time.

He smiled, arrogance seeming like an innate right.

"Sign it; this is your last chance."

Zhou Ran leaned back in the swivel chair.

His gaze passed over Davis and landed on the dim sky outside the window.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his tone casual:

"Xiaorou, I don't like the taste of these foreign cigarettes."

The words had barely left his lips.

Xiao Rou, kneeling at his feet, suddenly turned cold.

A streak of purplish-red light shot out from her fingertip, moving so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye.

hiss--

The cigar in Davis's hand shattered instantly.

The poison gu pierced his tiger's mouth, causing his skin and flesh to roll back and blood to gush out.

Fuck!

"You dare touch me!"

Davis screamed in agony.

"So what if I touch you?"

A burst of golden light exploded.

Fatty Wang crashed into the field like a heavy armored vehicle.

Davis didn't even have time to dodge the impact.

Click!

His sternum was shattered.

"I'm a high-ranking member of the conglomerate, you can't kill me!"

Davis scrambled to his feet, the pain in his chest making it hard to breathe.

He's the CEO of a conglomerate. Even S-class superhumans would have to treat him, an ordinary person, with utmost respect!

Is Zhou Ran really not afraid of going to war with the conglomerate's headquarters this week?

He was not given time to think.

Zhou Ran's gaze was as cold as ice.

"Chen Ya".

"exist."

Chen Ya's fingertips typed on the notebook, creating a blur of motion without pausing.

"The assets of the Song family in Beijing, the Black Dragon Society in Japan, and the Tianjin Wharf have all been integrated."

"With access to Swiss bank funds, $350 billion in cash is available."

Chen Ya pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and gave a playful smile.

"Account locked, begin cleanup."

Davis opened his phone again, still somewhat skeptical.

This time, his expression changed drastically once again.

"impossible……

That's impossible!

Davis frantically scrolled through his phone.

Every push notification represents the complete collapse of Sheng Hui Consortium's stock market holdings in the Asia-Pacific region.

The candlestick chart resembles a broken neck, plummeting at a 90-degree angle.

Every second, billions of dollars evaporate.

"shadow!

"Let's do it!"

Davis has completely lost his mind.

From the shadows, the last two superhuman assassins sprang up like phantoms.

This is his last trump card for this trip!

Two superhuman assassins thrust their poisoned alloy blades straight at Zhou Ran's throat.

fast.

Extremely fast.

But in Zhou Ran's eyes, this speed was as slow as a tortoise crawling.

He raised his hand.

The dark, kylin-like pattern slid across the skin of his left arm, casting a cold, dim light.

"die."

The air froze completely in that instant.

Gravity, like Mount Tai pressing down.

The two assassins at the forefront couldn't even get within three meters.

puff!

Their bones shattered under an invisible force, and their bodies were crushed into dark red lumps of flesh, like kneaded clay.

boom.

boom.

Two lumps of flesh crashed to the ground, splattering blood everywhere.

"You're insane!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Davis struggled to escape.

Xiao Rou flashed forward, her slender fingertips touching the back of his neck.

The pitch-black Gu worm instantly burrowed into the spinal cord.

Reason has been stripped away.

The light in Davis's eyes went out completely.

Zhou Ran stood up and stepped on his face with the sole of her shoe.

"Where is the Pure Land?"

This kick, seemingly effortless, caused Davis's eyes to bulge out.

"Don't kill me, I have secrets about the conglomerate..."

"We have found the entrance to paradise..."

Paradise?

Zhou Ran's eyes were slightly cold.

The Soul Searching Technique is activated.

Unfortunately, a higher level of power erased the memory of the entrance.

"It's no use."

Zhou Ran pushed off with his feet.

Click!

The skull was shattered, and red and white matter was spread out.

"Before dawn, I want all of Shenghui Group's assets in China to be owned by the Zhou family."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

boom!

Just then, the conference room door was kicked open again.

Qin San stumbled in, his face filled with terror, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

"Boss!"

Something terrible has happened!

Antique dealer Feng Bancheng...

"This is insane!"

He said on his back...

He's carrying something on his back!

But no one can see it!

Only he said he could see it.

He also said he was being completely consumed!

Zhou Ran's gaze sharpened.

"Bring it in."

next moment.

The conference room door opened again, and Feng Bancheng crawled in like a stray dog.

Blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and his skin was as white as paper.

His back was almost broken by the pressure, and he was almost on all fours.

But there was clearly nothing on his back.

"Master Zhou... save me..."

He's biting me...

He's eating my soul...

To onlookers, his back appeared to be completely empty.

But in Zhou Ran's purple-gold demonic eyes, a headless armored figure exuded a nauseating stench, tightly gripping Feng Bancheng's spine.

He was all too familiar with this aura.

That was the deathly aura of the underworld, transcending dimensions.

"The Gathering Yin Banner is not responding."

Xiao Hongli frowned and gripped the flagpole tightly.

"Qingxue, take a look."

Lin Qingxue's pupils instantly turned white.

Then, there was a deathly silence.

"What's wrong? Can't even you see it?"

Zhou Ran asked in confusion.

Lin Qingxue did not answer. A few minutes later, her delicate body trembled violently, and two lines of bloody tears flowed from her eyes.

"cause and effect……"

"Zhou Ran, don't go to Mangshan!"

Her voice trembled as she gripped Zhou Ran's sleeve tightly.

"I saw it in the future."

"You will die in the desolate tomb."

Before that heart...

Your body will be disintegrated inch by inch by countless black lines!

"A fatal calamity?"

Zhou Ran smiled.

He turned his head to the side, his handsome face displaying an almost arrogant disdain.

"My life, Zhou Ran's life, cannot be taken away even by that old devil, let alone mere karma."

He walked up to Feng Bancheng.

The unseen, headless ghost soldier gripped Feng Bancheng's spine, making a grinding sound.

"Since you're some filthy thing from the underworld, then get the hell out here."

Zhou Ran turned to look at the Su sisters.

"You two."

"Use the Tide Technique to activate the Tide Sacred Body."

"Tear it off for me."

The two sisters exchanged a glance, their spiritual energy resonating.

The air in the conference room vibrated.

Faintly, the sound of waves crashing against the shore could be heard inside the room.

A blue halo surged like a tide, slamming hard onto Feng Bancheng's back.

squeak--

The ghostly soldiers let out a mournful shriek.

Wherever the spiritual energy passed, it was like strong acid being splashed onto rusted iron, stirring up large plumes of black smoke.

"There's hope!"

Fatty Wang's eyes widened.

Although he couldn't see it, he could vaguely sense that the deathly aura that should have suffocated him was beginning to dissipate.

But the counterattack was too fierce; the two sisters' pretty faces turned pale instantly, and they swayed precariously.

That's enough.

Zhou Ran stepped forward.

He did not form hand seals or chant incantations.

He simply spread the five fingers of the black Qilin's right arm and grabbed at the air.

Like an eagle snatching a chick, that extremely cold and lifeless object was directly pried out of the dimensional rift by him!

"Get out here!"
