My Arrogant Young Lady

Entering the suite, I sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette. Seeing my disheveled appearance and the large bump on my head, my brothers stared at me in surprise for a moment. Wang Che couldn't help but laugh. He walked over and sat on my lap, gently rubbing the bump on my head, saying, "Brother, how come you look so disheveled on your second day at work? Looks like Jin Xiangyu has a lot of enemies."

"Don't even mention it, being someone's bodyguard is truly unpleasant. Kim Sang-woo has so many enemies; he ran into assassins on the second day he was protecting Lee Tae-hee. I met a kind soul today; I plan to have him contact Lee Tae-hee in two days, using the excuse of befriending Seoul's high society, to gather all the nobles in Seoul's elite circles. Let's find Aurora quickly and rescue my father to bring him home. I can't accept the one million dollars Kim Sang-woo offered me; that money isn't easy to earn." I looked somewhat exhausted after saying this. Then I took a small mirror from Wang Che's pocket and looked at my face.

Sure enough, the bump on my head was huge. Even a god-level expert couldn't withstand a traffic accident like this. I now possess strength that seems godlike to ordinary people, but I'm still a million miles away from being a true god.

"That's hilarious." Wang Che couldn't help but laugh when he saw that I was actually tired.

"Laugh at your sister!" I glared at Wang Che and pinched her nose lightly.

Because we were traveling as a group, everyone stayed together except when we were sleeping. Seeing my disheveled appearance with a large bump on my head, An Yao, Wang You, Wang Huan, and the other brothers all looked somewhat helpless. They wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to. Even Tong Jialing'er deliberately gave me a stern look.

"Xi'er is pregnant with my child, and I haven't had time to spend with her. This aurora is too much of a hassle. Don't let me catch them, or they're definitely dead!" I pushed Wang Che off me and went straight to the bed, lying down on it. Then, after thinking for a moment, I looked back at Wang Che and said, "Little sister, you seem to have gained weight recently..."

"You're asking for it!" Upon hearing my words, Wang Che's pretty face immediately turned red with anger, and she lunged at me, starting a fight.

I was joking around with Wang Che, and when we got tired, I lay on the bed and quietly thought about my thoughts for a while before falling asleep. Being Li Taixi's bodyguard today was a bit tiring; I accompanied her to work and to events. It seems I'm more suited to staying at the Wang family home than to Li Taixi's lifestyle.

The next day, I took a shower, tidied up a bit, and then had Xiao Haoren come to our hotel to talk to him about having Lee Tae-hee host a cocktail party. Xiao Haoren is one of my people, and he immediately agreed. I stayed at the hotel until the afternoon, and Lee Tae-hee called me late in the evening.

During the phone call, Lee Tae-hee expressed her gratitude for me saving her yesterday. She also made a reservation at a high-end Western restaurant in Seoul, intending to thank me again in person.

Wang Che is a bit of a gossip; she was eavesdropping on my phone call with Lee Tae-hee the whole time. After I hung up, Wang Che seemed a little excited, "Brother, your luck with women is about to change again. Lee Tae-hee is pretty, why don't you go for her?"

"What are you talking about? Do you think your brother is a stud? Lee Tae-hee is the woman Kim Sang-woo likes. Even if I were interested in her, I wouldn't steal her from someone else. You should worry more about your own affairs. I've already called off your engagement, little good guy. Be careful you don't end up not finding a husband in the future." I said to Wang Che as I put on my suit jacket.

"I don't want a husband, I'll only marry you." Wang Che pouted and looked at me with an ambiguous look.

"Get lost, I'm not interested in you!" I glared at Wang Che fiercely. Then I left with a big smile on my face.

Lee Tae-hee had arranged to meet me at 7 PM, which was an hour or two away. Before going to see her, I went to feed my king snake some food. After playing with it for a while, I drove to the restaurant where Lee Tae-hee had arranged to meet me.

When I'm not around, Wang Che takes care of Wang She. Wang Che isn't afraid of Wang She. Wang She also has feelings for her. Besides Wang Che, even An Yao is hostile to it. As for why I always keep Wang She company, it's because it's too lonely. I have six younger siblings with different personalities, and good friends like Lu Zhicheng and Young Master Bao. But Wang She only has me as a friend; in its heart, I am its everything.

When I arrived at the restaurant where I had arranged to meet Lee Tae-hee, I saw her already waiting there. She was as beautiful as ever, looking stunning in her business attire. She had woken up early that morning and left the hospital immediately, spending the entire day at the company. Knowing that I had been injured yesterday and needed rest, she only called me near the end of her workday.

“Mr. Good Samaritan, thank you for saving me yesterday. You should rest more, but I was so eager to repay you that I couldn’t help but call you. I apologize for the intrusion.” Sitting across from me, Lee Tae-hee said to me gently.

“It’s okay, you’re the one who needs to rest because you’re injured,” I told Lee Tae-hee.

"Hehe. Yesterday's events were quite thrilling." Lee Tae-hee smiled as she looked at me.

When the soothing sound of a violin drifted in, a sudden silence fell between Lee Tae-hee and me. Because we weren't familiar with each other yet, we didn't have much in common. We just looked at each other quietly, neither of us knowing what to say. She, however, just looked at me quietly, without feeling bored at all. On the contrary, she felt very comfortable with me. Even without anything to talk about, she found it interesting. This was a feeling she couldn't find with Kim Sang-woo.

When the waiter brought us the steaks and poured the decanted red wine into our glasses, Lee Tae-hee smiled, raised his glass, and said to me, "Mr. Nice Guy, you're probably not even twenty yet, are you? You're so young and already have such strong abilities; your future is definitely limitless. I wonder if you've made any plans for your future? Do you want to maintain the status quo, or do you want to carve out your own niche? If you have any plans, you can tell me your thoughts, and I'd be happy to help you."

She's the CEO of JG Group in South Korea, earning millions of dollars a year. She's also the daughter of a wealthy family, wielding considerable influence in South Korea. But compared to me, she's far inferior. My dream is to expand the Wang family's fortunes, and she can't offer me much help. If I were to use her for anything, it would only be for business dealings. Beyond that, she has no other purpose.

With a slight smile, I said to Lee Tae-hee, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need your help right now. I'll contact you if I do."

"Will you stay as a bodyguard forever? Will you stay by Kim Sang-woo's side forever? You should know who Kim Sang-woo is. He's the president of Taeguk, a mafia boss. It'll be dangerous for you to follow him. The one million dollars he pays you every year won't be enough for you to live a comfortable life. I haven't misjudged you. I think you deserve greater opportunities. You can stay by my side and be given better responsibilities," Lee Tae-hee said to me.

When Lee Tae-hee woke up, she found herself in a hospital and saw that Kim Sang-woo was taking care of her. She was somewhat surprised, but quickly learned what had happened after she fell into a coma the day before.

I heard that I took her to the hospital immediately after she fell unconscious, instead of taking advantage of her, which made her feel quite good about me.

Originally, in her eyes, even if I were a god-level expert, she could recruit me as long as she spent enough money. She was a rich young lady, and I was just a bodyguard. No matter how much money I earned as a bodyguard in a year, in her eyes I was still just a lowly bodyguard.

But after this incident, her attitude towards me changed. She felt I was a decent person, worthy of being kept by her side and given important responsibilities. She was confident she could keep me because she would offer me a higher salary and better opportunities for advancement. At the same time, she was very confident in her looks, because she wasn't only being pursued by a powerful figure like Kim Sang-woo, but also by many other sons of wealthy and powerful families. Kim Sang-woo might have power, but those other men weren't much less powerful.

But she's only interested in me. She feels that if she extends an olive branch to me, I'll be eager to stay by her side. Of course, she doesn't like me, she's just very interested in me. If I have many attractive qualities that appeal to her, she might give me a try.

Thinking of this, Lee Tae-hee smiled and said to me, "Mr. Nice Guy, in terms of money, I'm not much worse off than Kim Sang-woo. In terms of status, I'm not much lower than Kim Sang-woo either. If you're willing to stay by my side, you don't need to worry about Kim Sang-woo causing you trouble; I'll explain things to him. Stay by my side, okay?" After saying that, a blush appeared on Lee Tae-hee's face; she was already considering where to temporarily arrange for me to work at the company.

"No, I'll stay with Kim Sang-woo," I said with a smile.

"What? You don't want to stay by my side? Are you afraid that Kim Sang-woo will cause you trouble?" Lee Tae-hee asked in surprise.

“No, I’m not afraid of Kim Sang-woo causing me trouble. I just promised him I would protect you, so I will continue to protect you. As for me, I have another dream. You can’t help me with that dream; I have to work hard to achieve it myself. Ms. Lee Tae-hee, thank you for dinner. If it’s alright, I can take you home now.” I smiled.

"I'd like to stay here for a while." Having never been refused before, Lee Tae-hee felt a little embarrassed.

"Alright, then I'll be going now." With a smile, I stood up and left the restaurant.

After I left the restaurant, Lee Tae-hee stared blankly at the doorway where I had disappeared. But after a while, a smile gradually appeared on her face.

She had never been rejected before; this was the first time she had ever been. And this god-level expert had just said something quite interesting: he actually said he wasn't afraid of Kim Sang-woo.

It seems he hasn't witnessed Kim Sang-woo's true strength, nor has he seen hers. If he were to see her true power, he would surely stay by her side. And he would be more than willing to stay.

Chapter 299 The Taiji Flag Fluttering

"You're back so soon?" An Yao looked at me in surprise when she saw me sitting on the sofa.

I looked at An Yao with equal surprise. "Little sister, do you also think that something will happen between me and Lee Tae-hee?"

"Hehe, who can say that?" An Yao's eyes showed a hint of disdain after hearing my words.

I felt a lump in my throat, glared at An Yao, and stopped talking to her. Then I looked at Xiao Hao Ren and said, "Li Taixi has been discharged from the hospital. Go talk to her about hosting the party tomorrow. Set the date for the day after tomorrow. Make sure to find all the high-society figures in Seoul by then. I don't want to stay here any longer. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll become a real Korean."

"Your Highness, don't worry. I will definitely take care of this for you," said the kind-hearted boy.

"Okay." I nodded gently after hearing what the little good boy said.

I glanced at Tong Jialing'er sitting in the corner, thinking that I hadn't even spent enough time with her after bringing her home for so long. I looked at her one more time, then left the hotel.

Shortly after I left the hotel, I sensed someone was protecting me in the shadows. I knew she had followed me out. And her duty had always been to protect me from the shadows.

I chuckled and said to the air beside me, "Big Cousin, we don't have anyone around us now. Are you still afraid of others finding out about our relationship?"

After hearing my words, a stunningly beautiful woman emerged from the nearby shadows. Her beautiful face was as cold as frost, and she looked at me coldly, saying, "What do you want from me? Speak quickly."

Surprised, I didn't expect Tong Jialing'er to turn cold towards me so quickly. Then I smiled helplessly, lit a cigarette, and said, "I've been here for three days now. May I invite my wife's older cousin to go shopping? I heard the cosmetics here are pretty good. I'm planning to buy some for you, and a lot more for Xi'er, my mother, my other mothers, and Chun'er, Xia'er, and Poisonous Snake..."

"Heh, you think we're here for a trip?" Tong Jialing'er sneered when she saw that I was still so unconvincing.

"Of course, otherwise our plane tickets would be a waste of money," I said with a smile.

"..." Knowing that I was deliberately trying to annoy her again, Tong Jialing glared at me and stopped talking to me.

On the way, Tong Jialing'er and I walked side by side, strolling through the streets. Inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her, I thought for a moment and gently took her hand. Her hand was so soft, like it was made of water. When I took her hand, I clearly felt her body tremble slightly. Then, Tong Jialing'er frowned and looked at me, saying, "Wang Xi, we can't..."

“Xi’er has already agreed,” I said.

“But I still can’t be like this with you. Xi’er is my cousin. If you really want to be with me openly and honestly, then marry me properly.” After saying that, Tong Jia Ling’er gently pulled her hand away from mine.

Tong Jialing'er couldn't get over the fact that Xi'er was family. I felt the same way; Xi'er was at home pregnant, and my relationship with her cousin felt clandestine. I thought it might be better to do what Tong Jialing'er suggested: if I truly loved her, I should marry her and bring her home. Then, I could live harmoniously with Xi'er, and that would be a happy life.

I stopped forcing Tong Jialing'er. Instead, I let her experience the local customs and culture of Seoul. However, as we walked down an unnamed street, I suddenly saw several Hyundai cars slowly drive past us. These Hyundai cars were all high-end domestic models, the kind we couldn't buy in China. Seeing a familiar face inside one of the cars, I immediately turned around and hugged Tong Jialing'er.

"It's Wang Yu!" She spotted Wang Yu in the car at a glance, and her brows furrowed.

“Wang Yu, he’s here too. He must know the whereabouts of Aurora, and even more than we do. Let’s secretly follow them; maybe we can find Aurora’s headquarters by following them,” I said.

"Okay." Tong Jialing'er nodded gently.

I immediately reported this important news about Wang Yu to An Yao, and then Tong Jialing'er and I found a car and followed Wang Yu and his group. Because it was a taxi, we could secretly follow Wang Yu without arousing his suspicion. Wang Yu also never expected that, despite the bet we made, he would still have the leisure to stroll around the streets with a girl. Moreover, we would see their car on the street.

However, as I followed them, I noticed they had parked their car downstairs at Kim Sang-woo's headquarters. At that moment, suspicion arose in my mind. Did they suspect Kim Sang-woo was Aurora? Or did they know Kim Sang-woo was a local strongman and had specifically hired him to coerce him, trying to find out Aurora's whereabouts?

Although Kim Sang-woo is very strong and holds a high position here, if Wang Yu wanted to deal with him, Kim Sang-woo would be no match for him. Both the Taegi and Black Dragon societies are ancient gangs, but the Taegi's strength is far inferior to the Black Dragon's. It's like how South Korea and their island nation are both developed and wealthy countries, but the Taegi's status has always been significantly lower than that of their island nation.

As I watched Wang Yu lead his men into the Taiji headquarters, I looked at Tong Jialing'er beside me and said, "I'm considered a member of Taiji now, so they won't suspect anything if I walk right into the headquarters. Wait for me outside. Call me if anything goes wrong."

"Okay." Tong Jialing'er nodded gently.

After saying that, I got out of the car and headed straight for the Tai Chi headquarters. Two low-ranking martial arts masters guarded the headquarters. They recognized me and immediately bowed deeply to me in respect. Thinking about how Wang Yu had also openly led his men inside, I frowned and asked the guards, "Who were those people who just went in?"

"It's Mr. Wang Yu, the president of the Black Dragon Society," the two young men said respectfully.

"Okay, I understand." I nodded. I went straight into the Tai Chi headquarters.

It turns out that Wang Yu entered as the leader of the Black Dragon Society. Seeing him walk in so openly without revealing his identity to the two guards at the gate, it's likely he had been here before, and the two guards already recognized him. So, why did Wang Yu come to find Jin Xiangyu?

Thinking of this, I quickly stepped into the elevator, went straight to the twenty-second floor, and headed towards Kim Sang-woo's office. When I reached the door, I saw it was tightly closed. I figured Wang Yu and the others were already inside. After a moment's thought, I immediately pressed my ear tightly against the crack in the door, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Inside the office, Wang Yu and the others had indeed arrived. Kim Sang-woo's office was very large, comparable to a small conference room. It contained a bedroom, a bathroom, a huge fish tank, and a writing desk for practicing calligraphy. Kim Sang-woo was currently sitting at his desk, looking at Wang Yu with a serious expression.

With an air of arrogance, Wang Yu merely glanced disdainfully at Jin Xiangyu before settling onto the sofa in his office. Beside him stood a Yin-Yang Master of a level above the gods, seven high-level god-level experts, and two members of the Wang family, one at the mid-level and the other at the high-level god-level. Only the world's most prestigious Black Dragon Society could boast such a formidable lineup.

He also possesses the formidable strength to easily destroy Tai Chi.

“Mr. Kim Sang-woo. My uncle’s dream of achieving a unified and prosperous world is not far off. I wonder what your decision is?” Wang Yu’s eyes were filled with pride and ruthlessness, and his back was ramrod straight. His hands were placed dutifully on his knees, much like a warrior who had trained for many years.

And he was now a member of Aurora. Just last night, Aurora deliberately revealed a trace of their presence, luring him to their headquarters. When he stormed into Aurora's headquarters to rescue his father, he saw a god-like man. The man's eyes were similar to his own, so sharp and cold. And the strength he displayed was terrifying, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Looking at the still thin and immature boy before him, the man extended his right hand, a hand capable of destroying everything with a flick of his finger. "Wang Yu, you are my nephew…we are family, the closest family in this world…Your father deceived your mother and used her to kill me. Now I am resurrected. I will fulfill my dream of unifying the world. Wang Yu, you are a rare genius in this world. You are a genius, I am a king. Together, we should conquer this world…"

Sensing the terrifying power emanating from the man, Wang Yu's gaze gradually became unfocused. That night, he began to change completely. The half-Yamato bloodline within him began to stir, and his mind was gradually being controlled by the man. Now, he was another powerful being above the gods, besides the Four Heavenly Kings—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—directly under Oda Seiji's command and at his service.

"You're already one of Aurora's people?" Looking into Wang Yu's determined eyes, Jin Xiangyu's face paled slightly. He never dreamed that the person behind Aurora possessed such strong charisma, managing to control the seventh prince of the Wang family, a master above the gods, in just one night.

“My uncle is one of the strongest people in the world, and we should serve him. We should work with him to achieve our dream of unification and the goal of global prosperity. Kim Sang-woo, don’t you want to have greater strength? Don’t you want to expand your power? Join us, and we will definitely let you experience a new level.” Wang Yu smiled.

"No! Many of you in Aurora aren't human; you're powerful beings cloned using medical methods. And Oda Seiji is immortal. If he were to rule the world, it would fall into his hands and never be reincarnated. You don't know who he is; he's a demon, a ruthless killer. Although we, Taeguk, are a gang, we stopped doing illegal business a long time ago. We're doing well now; we will never be used by Oda Seiji or become his slaves!" Kim Sang-woo clenched his fists.

"Hehe, do you know what task my uncle gave me when I came here?" Wang Yu asked with a smile.

"Kill me?" Kim Sang-woo asked.

“If you don’t agree to join us, we will kill you. If you die, your Tai Chi will fall into our hands and be used by us.” Wang Yu smiled.

With a deep frown, Kim Sang-woo slowly stood up after hearing Wang Yu's words. At that moment, Kim Sang-woo's gaze towards Wang Yu turned cold, and he slammed his hand on the table, declaring with righteous indignation, "The banner of Tai Chi, even if it falls, will not be waved by others!"

With a bang, the doors to Kim Sang-woo's bedroom and bathroom were kicked open, and a large group of young men in black suits, brandishing samurai swords and yelling, charged towards Wang Yu. At the same time, countless other young men, also wielding samurai swords, rushed towards me from both sides of the corridor outside the office…

Chapter 300 The Ghost of Rashomon

Having overheard everything inside the house, I was utterly shocked. I never dreamed that my seventh brother had been controlled by Oda Seiji and become one of his men. If my seventh brother had helped me, I could have fought Oda Seiji. But now, with both my seventh brother and his men under his control, how could I possibly fight him?

No, I should rush home immediately and report to my mother. I need to invite her, Leng Yan, Elder Liang Bin, and other top experts to deal with Aurora and Oda Seiji. This is no longer the time for me to show off.

But just as I was about to leave, the young men on both sides of the corridor charged towards me with samurai swords. My gaze turned cold instantly. I looked at them coldly and said, "Can't you even recognize your own people?"

"It's him! I saw him eavesdropping outside President Kim Sang-woo's office for ages on the security camera. He's a spy sent by Aurora!" a young man shouted, pointing at me.

That's when I realized. They couldn't understand my Chinese at all, and I couldn't understand their Korean. Seeing them already brandishing their weapons and slashing at me, I thought for a moment, then steeled myself and stormed into the office. Then I immediately yelled at Kim Sang-woo, "President! I'm here to protect you!"

"Take them down!" After only a surprised glance at me, Kim Sang-woo immediately pointed at Wang Yu and his men and gave the order. They were all Kim Sang-woo's men, and upon hearing his command, they immediately rushed towards Wang Yu and his group.

Wang Yu was a master above the gods, while Jin Xiangyu's subordinates, aside from a few god-level experts and some martial arts masters, were mostly ordinary people. They simply sat on the sofa, completely disregarding Wang Yu.

Instantly, Wang Yu's subordinates made their move. Four Naruto ninjas, two Satsuma samurai, and one Yokozuna-level sumo wrestler. The moment the huge, chubby man beside Wang Yu attacked, a massive shockwave rippled through the air, followed by a large group of young men in black suits crashing heavily into the wall.

With a swing of their weapons, the two warriors sent another large group of young men crashing to the ground with screams of pain.
