Zhuge Daxun remained silent.
He slowly rose from his chair, his expression unreadable as he stared directly at Yun Wanhe.
Yun Wanhe immediately swallowed.
’Oh shit... Did he see through my lie?’
His muscles tensed.
If things went south, he’d have to either run or fight his way out of the building.
Zhuge Daxun continued walking toward him.
One step.
Two steps.
Three.
Yun Wanhe discreetly shifted his weight onto his back foot, preparing to move at a moment’s notice.
Then...
Zhuge Daxun’s eyes suddenly became watery.
Before Yun Wanhe could react, the underworld boss threw his arms around him and hugged him tightly.
"My good brother..."
He sniffled loudly.
"You really are a good brother... You... you are my future! You... you will marry my daughter!"
Yun Wanhe blinked.
’Huh?’
That wasn’t the direction he expected this conversation to go.
Still, he quickly recovered.
After all, he had already planned on collecting multiple wives in the future.
One more wasn’t exactly a problem...
Assuming she wasn’t completely unreasonable.
Putting on an emotional expression, he returned the hug.
"Brother Zhuge... I don’t want to rush something as important as marriage. I’ll first help you reclaim your territory and recover everything Bai Xue stole from you. Only then will I have the right to stand beside your daughter."
Zhuge Daxun’s eyes became even redder.
"What a responsible young man... What a son-in-law..."
Yun Wanhe wiped away a few fake tears of his own.
"Besides... shouldn’t we meet first? If we’re going to spend our lives together, it’d be good for us to get acquainted."
"Excellent idea!"
Zhuge Daxun excitedly walked over to the office phone and dialed a number.
"Bring my precious daughter here."
He hung up.
Less than a minute later...
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
Heavy footsteps echoed through the hallway.
Each step made the floor tremble slightly.
Yun Wanhe slowly turned toward the office door.
The door swung open.
She appeared.
Yun Wanhe froze.
She had an enormous mole on her face with a single long hair sticking proudly out of it.
Her makeup looked like it had been applied with a paint roller.
Her skirt was at least three sizes too small.
Her smile...
Made his soul leave his body.
"Daddy!"
She waved enthusiastically.
"Why’d you call me? I was having fun with one of the boy toys you bought me!"
The moment she opened her mouth...
Yun Wanhe felt his stomach churn.
’Even her voice is a weapon...’
Zhuge Daxun smiled like the world’s proudest father.
"My little princess!"
He hurried over, gently took her hand, and led her inside.
"Come, come. Sit down. My precious daughter deserves the best seat."
Yun Wanhe’s face had already turned deathly pale.
’No way in hell is this Immortal Emperor touching that. I’d rather fight a Tier 10 demonic beast ten thousand times. I’d rather cultivate in a public toilet. I’d rather...’
His thoughts abruptly stopped.
He frowned.
’Wait.’
He secretly looked back and forth between Zhuge Daxun and his daughter.
Then...
He looked again.
’Hold on... Why does she look more like that main enforcer than Zhuge Daxun? Don’t tell me...’
In Yun Wanhe’s imagination...
A giant green hat slowly descended from the heavens and landed squarely on Zhuge Daxun’s head.
’Brother... I think you’ve been betrayed...’
Completely unaware of Yun Wanhe’s thoughts...
Zhuge Daxun proudly introduced her.
"This is my daughter, Zhuge Chou. Isn’t she beautiful? She looks exactly like her mother!"
"Dad..."
Zhuge Chou rolled her eyes.
"Can you just tell me why I’m here? My boy toys are waiting for me. They’ll miss me."
Reality, however, was quite different.
At that very moment...
Several handsome male models were desperately trying to escape the bedroom...
Only to be shoved back inside by armed guards.
Zhuge Daxun chuckled.
"Don’t worry, sweetheart. I simply wanted to introduce you to your future husband."
"My future husband?"
Zhuge Chou looked toward Yun Wanhe.
Her eyes widened.
Little pink hearts practically appeared in her pupils.
"He’s so handsome! Perfect! Daddy! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
She nearly bounced across the room.
Yun Wanhe instinctively wanted to retreat.
Unfortunately...
Zhuge Daxun was standing right behind him.
There was nowhere to run.
’Stay calm. Stay calm. Maybe she’ll just shake my hand...’
He slowly closed his eyes.
A soft hand grabbed his.
"Come with me, hubby!"
"Huh?"
Yun Wanhe opened one eye.
Before he could react, she was already dragging him toward the door.
Behind them, Zhuge Daxun happily waved.
"Remember! Don’t use protection! Lock him down!"
"Yes, Daddy!"
The office door slammed shut.
A second later...
A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the place.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Inside the office, Zhuge Daxun smiled warmly.
"Hahaha... Young love... He sounds so excited."
A few moments later...
Zhuge Chou dragged Yun Wanhe into her bedroom.
The room was enormous.
Scattered around it were several bruised male models.
Their wrists were tied.
Some had visible whip marks across their clothes.
The moment they saw Zhuge Chou...
Every one of them looked like they’d seen death itself.
"Oh my..."
Zhuge Chou covered her face shyly.
"This is so embarrassing. These are all my ex-boyfriends. But you don’t mind a girl’s past... right, hubby?"
Yun Wanhe opened his mouth.
He wanted to say...
"I’m leaving. Good luck. Please never contact me again."
Before he could speak...
One of the tied-up male models suddenly spat out the gag in his mouth.
"Brother! You’re incredibly handsome! You two are a perfect match! We’d only ruin your special first time by staying!"
The others frantically nodded.
"That’s right!"
"We support this marriage!"
"We’re leaving immediately!"
Zhuge Chou rubbed her chin.
"Hmm... You know... You’re right. I break up with all of you. Get out."
The guards quickly untied them.
The male models didn’t even say another word.
They sprinted out of the room faster than Olympic athletes.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Zhuge Chou happily plopped onto the bed and patted the empty space beside her.
"Come here, hubby~"
Yun Wanhe stared at her in silence.
His expression slowly darkened.
He let out a long sigh.
"I’ve reached my limit."
He quietly closed the bedroom door.
Yun Wanhe’s face gradually darkened.
"Enough."
"H-Hubby...?"
She forced out an awkward smile, unsure why the atmosphere had suddenly changed.
Yun Wanhe slowly looked around the room.
Before anyone could react...
He moved.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The guards barely had time to register what was happening before Yun Wanhe had already dealt with them and taken one of their weapons.
Zhuge Chou’s smile instantly disappeared.
"W-What are you doing?! You’re scaring me! Somebody! Help!"
A single gunshot rang through the room.
The shouting abruptly stopped.
Outside...
The guards immediately sprang into action.
"What was that?!"
"It came from Miss Zhuge’s room!"
"Hurry!"
Heavy footsteps thundered down the hallway.
More voices joined in.
"Open the door!"
"Miss!"
"Are you alright?!"
Yun Wanhe let out a long, exhausted sigh.
"Well."
He glanced around the room one last time.
"My first experience in the underworld has officially been a complete disaster."
Without another thought, he rushed toward the window.
Crash!
Glass shattered as he burst through it.
A second later...
BANG!
The bedroom door burst open.
Armed men rushed inside one after another, with Zhuge Daxun close behind.
The moment his eyes fell upon the room...
He froze.
His entire body trembled.
Slowly, he walked over and gently covered his daughter’s body with a nearby blanket.
"My little girl..."
His voice cracked.
"My precious daughter..."
The room fell silent.
No one dared speak.
A noise was suddenly heard.
Everyone instinctively turned.
Yun Wanhe appeared at the broken window for only a brief instant as he put the gun over.
He began firing.
Spraying and praying.
Several of Zhuge Daxun’s men scrambled for cover as they shouted:
"Take cover!"
"Protect the boss!"
Amid the chaos, Zhuge Daxun threw himself behind cover, his grief instantly giving way to fury.
His eyes were bloodshot.
His voice echoed through the mansion.
"YUN WANHE! I’LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! I’LL HUNT YOU DOWN NO MATTER WHERE YOU RUN!"
Down to his last bullet, Yun Wanhe had no intention of staying.
He dropped from the window onto a nearby dumpster, using it to break his fall.
One of the men rushed to the shattered window and raised his weapon.
"I’ve got him!"
Before he could take the shot, Zhuge Daxun shoved him aside.
"Move!"
His face was twisted with grief and rage as he seized the gun for himself.
"I’m killing him myself!"
Right as he was about to pull the trigger...
Yun Wanhe spun around and fired his last bullet.
The shot found its mark, and Zhuge Daxun collapsed to the ground.
Yun Wanhe turned back and sprinted away
Behind him, furious shouts continued to ring out.
"There!"
"He’s escaping!"
"After him!"
The building erupted into a full-scale pursuit.
Yun Wanhe glanced back only once before pushing himself even faster.
"What a disaster. I should’ve never have gotten involved with the underworld."
In the distance...
The faint sound of police sirens began echoing through the city.
Growing closer with every passing second.
Yun Wanhe clenched his jaw.
"This place is finished."
Without looking back again, he disappeared into the maze of alleyways.
