“How could you do this knowing how close our families are, Ouyang Duo?” Nan Xing questioned.
Ouyang Duo burst into laughter. “Close? Hahaha! Friends are meant to be betrayed! Didn't you know
that?”
“But can you really handle a corporation as large as Nanshi?”
“That's none of your business. Sign it.” Ouyang Duo pointed at the document again.
“Don't you know it's a crime to kidnap and hurt people? Do you not fear the law?” Nan Xing asked.
“You're still talking about the law at this point? The rules of the world are set by those with power and
wealth. If I want Nanshi Corporation, then I'm getting it. I don't give a d*mn about the law, so quit your
daydreaming and just sign the contract.”
Growing impatient with every passing second, Ouyang Duo shoved the pen into Nan Xing's hand.
“And what happens after I sign it?”
“I'll take you back to the Nan residence,” Ouyang Duo answered with a smile.
“You? Take me back to the Nan residence? You're going to kick my grandpa out and seize my house
too?”
Ouyang Duo chuckled. “Your family used to stay at Commoner Residence simply because you were
the greatest clan in Flower City. But now that you guys are worthless, you don't deserve to live in such
a grand mansion anymore.”
I won't occupy the place by force, of course,” he continued. “I'll buy the deed for a million. You may not
be aware, but I've already spoken to your grandfather about this, and I'll be changing the mansion's
name to King Residence.”
Nan Xing spat, “Even the kitchen alone is worth more than a million, you b*stard!”
Ouyang Duo replied, “You should be thankful that I'm already offering you one million. What if I decided
not to give you a single cent? It's not like you'd be able to do anything about it. All right, quit blabbering.
Sign the contract!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNan Xing picked up the pen. “So once I sign it, when will I get my brother back? You'd better keep to
your word and let him go.”
“Don't worry. Nan Chen is no longer a threat to me now that the Nan family's lost its power. I'll release
him. I promise.”
Smiling in defeat, Nan Xing penned his signature on the document.
Ouyang Duo held the piece of paper up high as he roared with laughter.
I've done it. I've finally gotten what I wanted!
He continued to laugh deliriously for a long while.
The heavens would drive a person mad before sending him to his destruction.
At this very moment, Ouyang Duo was beyond insane.
“All right, your job is complete, so I'll be taking you back to the Nan residence. I'll also be bringing this
bottle of unfinished liquor to Commoner Residence so I can personally give your grandfather a toast.
It's a wonderful day, after all! How could I forget about the old man?”
“Thanks, I guess,” Nan Xing replied blandly.
“Keep the document,” Ouyang Duo instructed the lawyer. “I believe you know what to do next.”
“Yes, Mr. Ouyang,” the lawyer responded.
“Be more efficient. I want the shares transferred to my name as soon as possible. Get everything done
within a week's time.”
“Understood, sir.”
With that, Ouyang Duo wheeled Nan Xing out of Orchid Club.
The night lights began to illuminate the darkening skies.
Ouyang Duo gazed up at the view of the bustling city.
This whole city belongs to me now. I'm the ruler of this place!
Feeling like the happiest person in the world, he watched as the bodyguard carry the wheelchair-bound
Nan Xing into the minivan and pondered for a moment before deciding to hop in as well.
As the winner, he wanted to travel across the city feeling like a king.
Moreover, it was only natural that having the loser by his side would make him feel even more superior.
Nan Xing's expression turned cold when he noticed the gloating look on Ouyang Duo's face.
“What are you thinking about, Nan Xing?” the latter asked.
“Nothing much.”
“I'm really thrilled today, but I know you must be upset. You probably think I was the one who caused
your family's downfall.”
Nan Xing remained silent.
“But that's how society works, you know? The strong prey on the weak. It's all about the survival of the
fittest. Given how many years the Nan family has basked in its glory in Flower City, it's about time they
made way for others. Have you ever wondered why your family turned out this way?”
Ouyang Duo was in such a cheery mood that he couldn't stop talking and needed a way to express all
the joy he felt.
Unfortunately, Nan Xing wasn't a very ideal conversation buddy and kept silent most of the time.
“The reason behind the Nan family's downfall is its lack of successors,” Ouyang Duo declared. “There's
no denying that your grandfather is brilliant, but your father, Nan Zhiyuan, is nothing but trash. That's
why your grandfather appointed Nan Chen as the next head of the family instead. He's the only one
capable enough for the job.”
He concluded, “After I took care of him, the Nan family has no one else. This allowed me to step up
and take control pretty much right away. So, your family's defeat isn't solely because of me. It's also
due to its own descendants. If I don't replace the Nans today, someone else would do it tomorrow. It
was bound to happen sooner or later.”
Nan Xing continued to say nothing.
Seeing that, Ouyang Duo began to grow frustrated. He had said so much, only to receive nothing but
silence in response.
It looks like he's too weak to understand such deep conversations. Forget it. I may as well talk to the
geezer later instead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCommoner Residence wasn't too far from Orchid Club, so it didn't take them long to arrive.
The entrance to the residence was shut tightly, and the butler, Chai Hua, opened the gates personally
after hearing the doorbell ring.
To accommodate Nan Xing's condition, he then asked for the car to be driven straight into the
courtyard.
No vehicle was allowed in the Nan residence's courtyard. This was a strict house rule that had been
upheld ever since the beginning.
Even the Nan family members themselves would park outside the courtyard.
That was because Nan Zhengde wanted to keep the area silent and didn't like the sounds of cars.
Hence, to be allowed to drive into the courtyard that day was certainly out of the ordinary.
Even so, Ouyang Duo didn't think much of it, given that Nan Xing was currently injured.
Upon entering the courtyard, the bodyguard lifted Nan Xing out of the van.
“Get them to drive the car outside. My grandpa doesn't like being bothered by car noises,” said the
latter.
“Take the car outside and wait for me there,” Ouyang Duo instructed the bodyguard, who then nodded
and drove out.
Then, Ouyang Duo wheeled Nan Xing along Commoner Residence while observing the building's
condition and wondering how he would renovate it after becoming its new owner.
It does look nice and all, but I'd prefer to have it redone in a style that suits my preferences.
“I've returned with your grandson, Mr. Nan. Let's have a drink.”
At the mention of having a drink, Ouyang Duo recalled that he had left that bottle of liquor in the car.
Just as he considered giving his bodyguard a call to bring him the bottle, he changed his mind. He
reckoned the Nan residence had some good liquor too.
Everything here belongs to me now, anyway, so I can do whatever I want. I'll have the old man bring
out his best liquor, and we'll drink to celebrate my splendid victory over the Nans.
It was an exceptional day for him, and he was determined to celebrate it.
