Chapter 573: Chapter 573: You Damn Cheat!_1

Zhang Xian turned his head, his face full of exasperation.

He had already mended his ways, why do these women always keep bringing up old matters? Is it fun for them? Does it make them happy?

"Hey, stop moping around and hurry over to make a decision." Fu Meiting threw a flirtatious glance at Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian waved his hand and said, "I won’t get involved, you ladies can handle it."

"The problem is, we don’t have much money!"

Fu Meiting said, "Initially, we invested heavily in Lingxiao Villa. Although we’re profitable now, it’s only been half a year. How much could we have possibly earned? Longjing Villa is offered to us at a generous discount by the mayor, but it’s not cheap. We’ve also spent quite a bit on recent expansions. We are dead broke!"

"How much do we have left?" Zhang Xian asked with a frown.

Fu Meiting replied, "How much do you think? Let me tell you, our savings between me, Xiao Nan, and Yao Rao are all depleted because of your nonsense. Mo Shaoyun, Qianqian, and Qingqing also got a lot of money from their homes. Even though Mo Shaoyun’s family is fully supportive, they couldn’t provide much. We are in a bottomless financial pit."

"I’ll figure out something."

After an awkward laugh, Zhang Xian said, "Let’s first purchase Longjing Villa. I have two to three billion with me, enough to buy Longjing Villa."

Fu Meiting asked in surprise, "How do you have so much money? Are you secretly hoarding money?"

"Um... what do you mean by me hoarding money? Do I need to hide money?"

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile and said, "The money I have is from God’s Spokesman’s lab, it’s all gold, not cash."

"Gold..."

Fu Meiting grabbed Zhang Xian and said, "Hand it over immediately. We’re in desperate need of money and you’re sitting on three billion."

"I had no idea about the situation on your end." Zhang Xian said with an awkward smile.

Fu Meiting looked at Zhang Xian discontentedly and said, "You seem very pleased with yourself for being able to dump everything on us and just sit back and relax. Why should it be this way?"

"Because you all are my wives." Zhang Xian hugged Fu Meiting and laughed.

After giving Zhang Xian a big eye-roll, Fu Meiting pouted and said, "Kiss me, or else I’ll be angry."

"There are so many people here, is that appropriate?" Zhang Xian asked anxiously.

Fu Meiting asked, "Are you kissing me or not?"

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and quickly pecked Fu Meiting’s lips.

"Look at you."

Fu Meiting glared at Zhang Xian and said, "You really have no intention of dealing with this? If you’re not interested, I’ll talk to Mo Shaoyun about buying it directly."

"Mm, you all make the decision."

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "As for the money, I’ll figure something out. You all just do what you need to."

"Mm, you must quickly sort out the money. It’s urgent."

Fu Meiting said, "You have three billion in your hands now, but it won’t last long. Money is needed everywhere. That island over there will need a huge amount of funds."

"Mm, I know." Zhang Xian nodded.

He had never thought much about money before. But now, when he found out money was needed everywhere and he couldn’t get it, he realized that it was really indispensable.

For now, they don’t lack money for daily expenses. They have enough industries to splurge on.

However, if he wants to build power, he needs substantial financial support. Without money, regardless of his strength, he can’t play the game nor manage everything coherently.

Right now, what he lacks the most is money, and he is in dire need.

...

After the incident in Lingbei, Zhang Xian, and others didn’t stay and took a flight back to Yanjing the same day.

Zhang Xian sent Mo Shaoyun and the other women home, took out the gold, and after giving some instructions, he drove alone to the Skynet, Old Man Han’s office.

"Damn Zhang Xian..." Han Xiangyu was also there.

When she saw Zhang Xian, she gritted her teeth and said, "Did you stir up trouble again?"

"What? What’s with that expression?"

Zhang Xian said, "Don’t tell me just because I killed a couple of people, you are at odds with me. Those bastards wanted to kill me, and they conspired with God’s Spokesman, naturally, I wouldn’t let them off."

"You... you..." Seeing Zhang Xian’s nonchalant look, Han Xiangyu was in turmoil, and her heart ached.

She had always thought that Zhang Xian was not bloodthirsty and had a good temper. But in reality, when Zhang Xian kills, he is ruthless.

Although Zhang Xian only kills those deserving of death and does not kill indiscriminately, she feels overwhelmed by his frequent act of killing.

"How so?" Zhang Xian said, "I spearhead the operations, you clean up after, I haven’t complained, and now you’re the one complaining. If you have the guts, let’s swap roles?"

Han Xiangyu was furious, she tried to lunge at him. This guy is really infuriating, he doesn’t know how to treat women gently.

"Cough, cough..."

Old Man Han quickly held Han Xiangyu back and said to Zhang Xian, "Rest assured, as long as you don’t kill the innocent, it’s not a big deal. We will cover for you."

"That’s good." Zhang Xian nodded satisfactorily.

Old Man Han sighed in relief when Zhang Xian did not debate further on this topic.

Despite his young age, Zhang Xian calculated every step precisely. He was afraid that Zhang Xian might use this issue to strong-arm him with demands he couldn’t meet.

"Don’t worry, I won’t bully you."

After seeing Old Man Han’s constipated-like expression, Zhang Xian scoffed and asked, "I have already dealt with the wealthy businessman, is it not about time you handle the island situation for me? I need to remind you in advance, I am reliably expanding my enterprise and money is a bit tight. I might have to owe you."

"That’s a trivial matter, as long as you don’t default on your debts." Old Man Han chuckled and said, "Now, you can go and develop that island. I will manage the permissions for you from above."

Zhang Xian chuckled, "That’s what I like to hear. Now, I am off to check out the island."

Old Man Han waved hand in dismissal, "Whenever you feel like, after all, the island is yours."

After rubbing his nose, Zhang Xian left the room with a subtle smile.

"This damn jerk..."

Han Xiangyu was so furious after watching Zhang Xian looking so smug. She had seen shameless people, but none like Zhang Xian who found pleasure in bullying her without a hint of chivalry.

...

At noon, a yacht was cruising swiftly along the boundless sea.

Zhang Xian stood at the bow of the boat, gazing into the distance.

Blood Soul, wearing a black mask, was standing behind him. No matter how violently the sea breezes howled, he remained unmoving like a powerful javelin.

Shortly after, the yacht gradually approached the shore.

"Let’s go..."

Zhang Xian jumped off the yacht with a smirk and began walking towards the small island.

Blood Soul followed closely behind him, exhibiting impeccable composure. Over time, he had ceased to be a rigid zombie. Although he continued to remain expressionless, there were subtle changes in his demeanor, and he had become adept at "playing it cool."

"Who’s there?"

Suddenly, several people descended from the island, casting hostile glares at Zhang Xian and Blood Soul.

"Who we are is none of your business."

Zhang Xian responded, "Now, this island is mine, so please show yourselves out."

"Hahaha..."

The men appeared dumbfounded at first, but subsequently burst into laughter, appearing to find the statement the funniest thing they’d ever heard. Where did these two jokers come from? Who did they think they were, shooing them away like that? Did they think that wearing a mask makes someone a big shot?

"Is it funny?" Zhang Xian asked them.

The men nodded in unison, all engaging in gleeful mockery, "Yes, it’s hilarious! What you just said was incredibly hilarious!"

"It seems they’re laughing at us. What’s going on?" Zhang Xian turned to ask Blood Soul. "Do we appear funny to them? I don’t think so!"

Blood Soul glanced at Zhang Xian and charged at them directly, his palm flying through the air.

"Slam...slam...slam..."

A series of slapping sounds rang through the air. The previously cocky middle-aged men were taken by surprise, getting slapped into mid-air pirouettes by Blood Soul, collapsing on the ground and losing consciousness.

"Oh you weaklings, why were you so full of yourselves?"

Standing next to the unconscious middle-aged men, Zhang Xian shook his head and proceeded towards the mountain.

Blood Soul gave the unconscious men one last glance before catching up to Zhang Xian.

"Haha, you really did show up kid."

Suddenly, numerous people descended from the mountain. The one leading them was part of the group with whom Zhang Xian and company had a conflict the last time.

"I told you, I would return. How could I possibly stand you up?"

Zhang Xian paused, scanned the crowd for a moment, and laughed, "Just wondering, are you guys ready to get a beatdown? This fight isn’t going to be as easy as the last one."

"Hehe, kid, you can relax about that. We are going to make you beg for mercy."

The leader of the middle-aged men gave a cold smile, then signaled to another middle-aged man by his side, "Go right away and call our guys, let them get ready."

The middle-aged man nodded and ran towards the mountain.

"Calling for backup?"

Zhang Xian laughed, and then said to Blood Soul, "Brother, why don’t you go up there and get warmed up? Let them experience the joy your fists bring."

Blood Soul nodded and slowly advanced towards the crowd.

"What...what the hell are you doing?"

The leading man’s expression darkened. He stammered, "Our men are not here yet. Are you trying to cheat?"

"Who said anything about waiting for everyone to start?"

Zhang Xian looked at the middle-aged man as if he were an idiot. He said, "As few people as you have now, it’s the perfect time to take you down. Why would we wait?"

The middle-aged man, frustrated, cursed, "Motherfucker, I’ve seen shameless, but I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you. Didn’t we agree to have a proper duel? Now you’re resorting to a surprise attack?"

"When did I agree to anything?"

Baffled, Zhang Xian shrugged and ordered, "Blood Soul, it’s your turn to shine again."
