My Arrogant Young Lady

Now things are really messed up. Not only is Wang Xilai now in a superior position, but even Li Guanghui, a mere god-level expert, can overpower him. And since he has already betrayed the Ye family, he has no chance to turn back.

"I'm sorry, Brother Li." A trace of weariness appeared on Ye Shuang's face, and his heart was also weary. At this moment, he felt desolate; he was finally tasting the bitter fruit of his own making.

"Don't call me Brother Li anymore, you're not qualified!" Li Guanghui shouted from behind.

"Hehe..." Feeling unsteady on his feet, Ye Shuang seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness. With a desolate smile on his face, he staggered away from Li Guanghui's residence.

"Lord Li Guanghui, could this kind-hearted young man really be the heir of the Wang family? Should we report this to Lord Zhuque?" Li Guanghui's translator asked in a low voice from behind.

"Hao is not only the top expert in the Aurora Training Camp, but also Lord Suzaku's last disciple. He was introduced to Aurora by Lord Suzaku, and Lord Suzaku would never do anything detrimental to Aurora. Besides, Hao looks so lowly, how could he possibly be the noble heir of the Wang family? Don't try to flatter him, I don't like you praising him as the heir of the Wang family," Li Guanghui said.

"Yes..." The translator was extremely embarrassed after hearing Li Guanghui's words. Hao Mingming possessed an outstanding aura, with a faint golden glow emanating from him. However, because he had humiliated Li Guanghui and made Li Guanghui eat his shoe, even though he was undeniably handsome, Li Guanghui felt an inexplicable disgust upon seeing him.

Alas, Li Guanghui is far too narrow-minded.

“However, if he does anything detrimental to the Aurora, I can report it to Lord Suzaku. Even if he is not the heir of the royal family, we can frame him as the heir. If we can get rid of him, I might become the new ruler of northern China.” As he spoke, Li Guanghui smiled sinisterly.

"..." The translator became even more embarrassed after hearing Li Guanghui's words. This Li Guanghui wouldn't allow anyone to bully his Aurora people, yet he himself wanted to eliminate his enemies. Li Guanghui truly was a complex person.

Getting back to my side, I've already confirmed that even if Ye Shuang reports me to Li Guanghui, even if Li Guanghui suspects my identity, he won't report it to Zhuque. And even if he does report it to Zhuque, Zhuque won't suspect me.

Now I finally understand why Aurora boldly named their group JG. Deliberately revealing a clue to the enemy, making them suspicious of their identity, and then maneuvering against them—that feeling is so thrilling! It's like retrieving a treasure from a fire. The excitement is combined with the exhilarating feeling of success.

It turns out I'm just like the aurora borealis; I'm starting to feel a sense of loneliness, like a master has to endure. Only by constantly creating challenges for myself can I avoid feeling so alone.

As a high-ranking member of Aurora, having completed my first mission and having developed a special relationship with Suzaku, I've been dispatched to northern China to become the ruler of this martial arts world. My second mission is to take down An Yao and Wang Huan, who have been causing trouble in the north.

I will not take down An Yao and Wang Huan, nor do I care for the greater reward from Aurora. I have already returned to the provincial capital. My goal has been achieved.

I will rebuild our power with An Yao, Wang Huan, and my brothers, restoring the Wang family step by step. My father only managed to subjugate the top powers and families; I will surpass him and completely transform them into the Wang family's power. We will unite the Wang family with the entire martial arts world, ensuring that a demon like Oda Seiji will never again have the opportunity to take advantage of our weakness. If the Wang family and the entire martial arts world can work together, how could Oda Seiji have so quickly conquered all of China?

Starting a business is difficult, but maintaining it is even harder. I want to build up the Wang family's defenses to be as solid as an iron fortress, ensuring that the Wang family will always be invincible.

Entering the conference room of Hao Ren Group, I took the chairman's seat. Beside me were Li Guanghui and my Aurora group; facing me was Ye Shuang, the scion of the four major families in the provincial capital and the leader of nineteen powerful factions. The moment my sharp gaze swept across Ye Shuang's face, his eyes narrowed, his face instantly turning deathly pale, and he lowered his head, avoiding my gaze. He knew that he had threatened me that morning, and now I was going to make trouble for him.

But my mind wasn't on Ye Shuang; it was on the entire group of heroes in the North. They weren't united with our Wang family; they surrendered the moment the Aurora attacked. Thinking of Hao Yifang, who died protecting our Wang family, and my missing uncle, and An Yao and Wang Huan, who had been fighting alone in the North, my anger flared up immediately.

Just as those nobles, feeling they had a good relationship with me, were preparing to fawn over me, I coldly looked at them and said, "What are you all smiling at me for? What are you all doing sitting here? Do you even have the right to sit before the higher-ups of Aurora? Kneel down, all of you kneel down!"

"What? Your Highness, are you kidding me..." A middle-aged man chuckled dryly after hearing my words.

"Fuck you, kneel down! We, your esteemed elders, are telling you to kneel down, didn't you hear us?" Black Dragon and Young Master Bao, who were playing the villains, immediately pulled out their pistols and pointed them at the nobles in front of me, shouting angrily.

"This..." They were frightened when they saw the black dragon and Young Master Bao's pistols.

"Kneel down! All of you, kneel down! Do you even have the right to sit in front of Master Hao?" Black Dragon and Young Master Hao shouted angrily again.

"Yes..." Upon hearing my words, the nobles who had already pledged allegiance to Aurora immediately knelt on the ground. Ye Shuang, who was also kneeling in front of me, secretly glanced at me, feeling even more frightened.

"Lord Li Guanghui, isn't this Lord Hao's method a bit too brutal?" Li Guanghui's translator asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, let's see how it goes," Li Guanghui said, frowning.

"Fuck you, you stinking translator, what right do you have to talk about my good brother?" *Snap*. Black Dragon killed Li Guanghui's translator with a single shot.

"Black Dragon, what are you doing?!" Li Guanghui was furious, his face splattered with blood, when Black Dragon shot and killed his trusted confidant.

Heilong, of course, knew that the translator was always suspicious of my identity and constantly whispered advice to Li Guanghui. Li Guanghui, unable to speak the language in this land of China, needed the translator by his side for everything. By eliminating the translator, Heilong would effectively disable Li Guanghui's mouth and ears. Only then could we have even more fun in the North without restraint.

But of course, he couldn't reveal his true purpose. He simply said dismissively, "Just a lowly translator, what's the big deal if he dies?"

"..." Upon hearing Heilong's words, Li Guanghui wished he could kill him.

However, Ye Shuang and the nobles were even more terrified. They clearly saw that we were truly capable of killing. If they dared to disobey us, they would be the next to die. Moreover, Ye Shuang was certain that after the translator died, he would be the second to perish.

But the matter wasn't over yet. Right in front of the provincial capital's nobles, I lit a cigarette and said disdainfully, "From now on, apart from the Ye family, there are no more of the four major families and nineteen powerful forces in the provincial capital. Your identities have been stripped away; you are all ordinary people now."

My words caused an uproar in the conference room. Ye Shuang, in particular, looked at me with surprise. He knew that aside from my affection for the Ye family, I harbored no goodwill towards any of the powerful forces in the provincial capital. Yet, on only my third day here, I had already crippled those forces while retaining only my Ye family identity. This was clearly revenge for those forces' betrayal of the Wang family, and an indication that I was favoring the Ye family.

I've done all this, so what am I if not the heir apparent?

The heads of those powerful factions were also glaring at me with rage. Destroying their forces meant seizing all their wealth, leaving them penniless, and reducing them to ordinary people. How could they possibly accept that?

"Brother Xi, why did you suddenly change your mind? Weren't we supposed to deal with Ye Shuang first, and then deal with the other forces?" Black Dragon looked at me in surprise when he saw that I had suddenly changed my plans.

"There's no way around it. The moment I sit in Hao Yifang's seat and see their ugly faces, I can't help but feel annoyed. A little more excitement makes things more interesting. Masters are lonely," I said casually.

When we spoke to Li Guanghui, we used Korean. When we spoke to each other, we spoke Chinese. Li Guanghui, who was present, couldn't understand us, nor could the members of Aurora. Only the important senior members of Aurora and some specific personnel knew a few foreign languages.

And what we said, the leaders of those forces naturally heard clearly. Hearing that I had infringed upon their vital interests, they no longer cared about my current status. If they were to become ordinary people, they would rather be dead. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man who had just tried to curry favor with me angrily said, "Wang Xi, how ruthless you are! You actually want to destroy our forces! We'll tell Lord Takeda Hell your identity!"

"Fuck you, you traitorous dog!" Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Young Master Bao shot him dead with another shot.

"You've killed someone again!" Li Guanghui exclaimed in shock, his expression filled with rage as he looked at us.

"Stop arguing, or I'll kill you too." Black Dragon kicked Li Guanghui hard and said.

"Damn it!" Li Guanghui immediately drew his pistol, not expecting that Heilong would dare to kick him.

"Lord Takeda Jigoku has arrived!" Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside to announce.

Upon hearing that voice, I couldn't help but frown slightly. Oda Seiji's six most trusted lieutenants, one of the Six Great Demons, Takeda Hell, had actually arrived.

Upon hearing the name "Takeda Hell," Li Guanghui smiled. He looked at me coldly, his expression saying, "You're dead!"

Chapter 317 Takeda Hell

Before even seeing Takeda Hell, I could already sense an extremely powerful aura. Then, a thick black mist rolled in, and a middle-aged man with an expressionless face, dressed in samurai attire, entered, surrounded by a group of young men in black suits.

As soon as he entered the conference room, I saw his sharp gaze sweep over me. This man was Oda Seiji's confidant, holding a position even higher than the Prince of Aurora. His strength was formidable; he had already broken through the Fusion Realm and reached the Heartbeat level. I was startled by his sudden appearance. I quickly turned my head away, avoiding his gaze.

As for Takeda Jigoku's personal arrival, it was because he had heard that Aurora had dispatched a new ruler for the north. He was a confidant of Oda Seiji, very capable and meticulous. It was he who killed Hao Yifang, helping Aurora quickly seize power in the provincial capital and forcing the Ye family to surrender. He had personally helped Aurora conquer the north, and now that he heard Aurora had sent a new ruler, he was worried and came to check it out himself.

But... he only glanced at me once, yet he concluded that I was no ordinary person. In fact, my aura clearly surpassed that of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Aurora, and could rival that of the Bat Princess of the Aurora.

This man is destined for greatness. He will not be confined to the small north. Who exactly is he? Why is Suzaku's last disciple so powerful?

Coupled with my arrogant gaze and my impolite behavior of turning my head away whenever I saw him, this only fueled his dislike for me.

Therefore, they also began to doubt my identity.

As for why I didn't greet him, it's because I know he killed Xiaohao's father. He and I have a blood debt, so how could I possibly curry favor with him or befriend him? Moreover, I am a noble heir of the royal family, and I would never appear spineless enough to fawn over a sword saint-level samurai from an island nation. I never fawned over Suzaku when I was under her command, and I will do the same now when I see him.

He saw the entire conference room in complete chaos. I've only been here three days, and I've already thrown the upper-class circles of the North into utter disarray.

Frowning slightly, Takeda Jigoku sat down in the chair brought to him by his subordinates. Then, he gently placed his treasured sword on the table and asked, "Why is this place in such a mess?"

Li Guanghui looked down on the Chinese, so he never studied Chinese. However, he was fluent in Japanese, and upon seeing Takeda Jigoku arrive, he immediately bowed deeply to him. Then, with a serious expression, he said to Takeda Jigoku, "Lord Takeda Jigoku, did you kill my translator and a powerful figure? Did you order the upper class of the provincial capital to kneel before you and strip them of their power and noble status?"

"Oh?" Upon hearing Li Guanghui's words, Takeda Jigoku frowned and glanced at the dead translator and a powerful figure. Just as Takeda Jigoku looked at the two corpses, a member of one of the four major families immediately complained to him.

"Lord Takeda Hell, this little good guy's true identity is the heir of the royal family. He is a remnant of the royal family and an undercover agent in the upper echelons of Aurora."

"Lord Takeda Hell, he's here to avenge Hao Yifang! Kill him now!"

"Lord Takeda Hell. Kill him!"

"Damn it, these bastards are asking for it." Black Dragon was furious when he saw those guys constantly groveling before Takeda Hell. We learned several foreign languages ​​at the Aurora Training Camp, and we're quite fluent in Japanese.

As for me, I just sneered dismissively when I heard what those people said. Because I wasn't afraid of them reporting me at all.

Sure enough, just after those people finished speaking, gunshots rang out again in the conference room. The gang leaders who had just been complaining about me were now lying on the ground.

The one who fired the shot was a subordinate of Takeda Hell, a high-ranking samurai of god-level skill. Seeing everyone's pale faces, the samurai cursed viciously, "Bastards, do you think you have the right to speak to Lord Takeda Hell?"

"What did he say?" Ye Shuang asked a beautiful woman beside her in a low voice after hearing what the subordinate said.

She was the only one left who understood Japanese, and she turned pale with fright at the sight of Takeda Hell's expressionless face. Tears of grievance streamed down her face, and she whispered to Ye Shuang, "They said we are not qualified to speak directly with Lord Takeda Hell."

"What?" Ye Shuang's face turned even paler upon hearing the woman's words.

However, Takeda Jigoku quickly gave me a cold look. He tapped the table lightly with his finger and looked at me expressionlessly, saying, "Fine, I heard you're Suzaku's disciple. You're quite arrogant."

"Masters are lonely," I said coldly.

"I heard you reached a level above the gods in just one year. Besides your talent, you also put in a lot of hard work. I admire the sweat you shed to become a strong person. But, are you willing to compete with me?" Takeda Jigoku asked me expressionlessly.

"Yes," I said.

At this moment, only Li Guanghui, some people from Aurora, and the beautiful woman who kept translating for everyone could understand our conversation.

When they heard that I was going to challenge Takeda Hell, their expressions changed again. Li Guanghui, however, was overjoyed.

So what if I'm Suzaku's disciple? So what if I have Suzaku protecting me? Aurora is merely a branch of Oda Seiji's forces, a main force tasked with achieving his dream of unification. In terms of status, only their leader, the Prince of Aurora, can compare to Takeda Hell. Oda Seiji currently commands three forces: Wang Yu, the Six Heavenly Demons, and Aurora. Wang Yu is Oda Seiji's nephew, holding an incredibly high and prestigious position. The Six Heavenly Demons are Oda Seiji's confidants, trusted as much as Oda Seiji trusts his wife. Moreover, Oda Seiji has no wife; the appearance of the Six Heavenly Demons is tantamount to representing Oda Seiji. And ranked last is the Prince of Aurora.

He's finished, he's finished. Offending Takeda Hell means certain death. Everyone knows that in this past year, Takeda Hell has broken through the Fusion Realm and become a Heartbeat level expert. He looks only in his thirties, but he's actually almost fifty.

Okay, he's only just become a Fusion-level expert. To challenge Takeda to a duel like this? Isn't he just courting death?

Li Guanghui wished I were dead. Now that he had figured out all the key points, his expression turned smug. He was preparing to wait for me to be killed by Takeda Hell so he could take my place.

As for Ye Shuang and the others, they felt the same way after hearing the beautiful woman's translation. Gradually, a sinister smile appeared on Ye Shuang's face.

"You know what level of expert I am, right?" Takeda Jigoku asked me expressionlessly.

"My heart is fluttering," I said.

“Yes. Tempted. Becoming a master above the gods is already considered stepping into the threshold of cultivation. And I am a realm stronger than ordinary cultivation masters, you are not enough to be my opponent.” Takeda Hell said expressionlessly.

"But I'm willing to duel you." My eyes gradually shone with golden light, and I couldn't wait to kill the little good guy's father's killer right now.

He is dead!

Seeing that I had actually sought out Takeda for a duel in hell, Ye Shuang's smile grew even colder. At the same time, Li Guanghui and the nobles of the provincial capital also wore satisfied smiles.

“But you are not my match yet, and I cannot kill you like this. I will give you a year. You can duel with me after a year.” With that, Takeda Jigoku picked up the treasured sword on the table and stood up.

"Why?" I asked.

At the same time, it also raised the question that was on everyone's mind.

"Because I admire your Bushido spirit. You were clearly no match for me, yet you dared to duel me. Such a spirit is rare and precious in the eyes of a strong person. Moreover, you possess the innate talent of a leader. You did a good job today, killing an insignificant translator and making your Aurora more united. Only by eliminating these insignificant small forces can Oda Seiji, the Demon King, better realize his dream of unification."

"The Ye family is a descendant of your Northern royal family, like a precious antique. We should cherish such a valuable antique. Compared to the Ye family, all the smaller forces in the North seem insignificant. You've done very well. I will call the Heavenly Demon King and speak well of you. This small North cannot contain you; you should be sent to a larger place." Holding his treasured sword, Takeda Hell gradually disappeared from the conference room.

"What!?" Hearing Takeda's words, Li Guanghui's face turned ashen as he looked at me. At that moment, he felt as sour as if he'd eaten a lemon, so sour he could barely contain himself…

Chapter 318 One Hundred Billion

In the car, Heilong, Young Master Bao, and I remained expressionless. However, as soon as we got home, we all started yelling. While yelling, I lit a cigarette and excitedly told them, "Damn it, I've discovered I'm an incredibly lucky guy! Even after all that, that Takeda Hell actually praised me. These little devils are so vicious! It turns out the tougher I am, the more they like me. If I had just taken care of Ye Shuang too, wouldn't they have awarded me a medal of honor?"

"Hahaha, Brother Xi, didn't you see their faces just now? How sour Li Guanghui's expression was, how desperate Ye Shuang's eyes were. They even envied you for being appreciated by Takeda Hell, one of the Six Great Demons. Actually, they have no idea that you don't care about Takeda Hell's appreciation at all. You are the heir of the Wang family. What does Takeda Hell's appreciation mean to you? Brother Xi, I admire you more and more now. Following you, I've actually managed to rise to the upper echelons of Aurora while just playing around, and I'm only going to get better and better." Young Master Bao said to me.

"It's a pity I didn't study harder. Otherwise, I would definitely be a doctor or a lawyer now, or maybe even a high-ranking official if I had gone into government service," I said.
