Divine-level Base

Shu Feng said with a helpless expression, "Fine! I’ll go, alright?"

Shu Feng could obliterate a Void Demon Marquis with a single punch, yet he was just as helpless against his mother, who didn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken.

Wang Juan warned, "It’s just a blind date. I’m not sending you to your death, am I? You brat, I’m warning you, behave yourself. I really like that girl. Don’t you pull any of that ’non-violent resistance’ on me. Make yourself look sharp."

Shu Feng replied with resignation, "Alright."

「Inside the restaurant of a five-star hotel in Lei Jiang City.」

"Lingling, your blind date this time is the son of Wang Juan, the CFO of Phantom God Group. Her husband is the head of Phantom God Group’s Inspection Department and wields a lot of power. They both have seven-figure annual salaries. If you marry into a family like that, you’ll be set for life."

A stylishly dressed, elegant middle-aged woman was chattering endlessly to a tall, stunningly beautiful young woman with fair, radiant skin.

The middle-aged woman was Wang Juan’s friend, Tian Lijia, and the tall, beautiful young woman with the striking presence was her daughter, Wei Jiaxin.

Wei Jiaxin said impatiently, "Mom, I get it! You’ve said it a thousand times. My ears are ringing."

’What kind of remarkable person could possibly come from a third- or fourth-tier backwater like Lei Jiang City?’ Wei Jiaxin hadn’t wanted to come at all, but Tian Lijia’s incessant nagging had driven her crazy.

"Lijia!"

Wang Juan’s voice called out from nearby, drawing the attention of both Tian Lijia and her daughter.

As Tian Lijia stood up, she saw Shu Feng. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Ah Juan, is this your son? He’s so handsome!"

’So handsome! And so charming! I can’t believe there’s someone like him in a small place like Lei Jiang City!’

The moment Wei Jiaxin saw Shu Feng, her eyes lit up and her heart skipped a beat.

Shu Feng’s Charm stat was currently as high as 5,000. With the exception of his enemies, anyone who saw him would immediately feel a sense of goodwill. Such were the benefits of high Charm.

Wang Juan smiled proudly. "Shu Feng, this is your Aunt Tian."

Shu Feng greeted her politely, "Hello, Aunt Tian."

"And this must be Jiaxin, right? So beautiful! Lijia, you have such a wonderful daughter!"

Wang Juan’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Wei Jiaxin, and she couldn’t stop praising her.

Wei Jiaxin was young and beautiful, and a graduate of Jena University, one of the most prestigious universities on Blue Star. It was only natural that Wang Juan would be very fond of such an outstanding young woman from a top school.

A few years ago, Wang Juan and Shu Nan Ye had only hoped that Shu Feng would find an ordinary girl to settle down with and live a quiet life. A stunning beauty of Wei Jiaxin’s caliber was a daughter-in-law beyond their wildest dreams.

Wei Jiaxin was also very polite. "Hello, Aunt Wang."

Wang Juan was even more pleased. "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

After the four of them sat down, Wang Juan and Tian Lijia began to chat.

Shu Feng and Wei Jiaxin sat off to the side, quietly listening to their mothers chat.

Wei Jiaxin watched Shu Feng quietly, a calculating glint in her eyes. ’A student at Shuijing University, from a good family, and he’s that handsome... He’d make an excellent backup boyfriend!’

"Jiaxin, who are these people?"

Just then, a handsome middle-aged man in his early forties walked over. He was dressed in a designer suit and wore a watch worth well over a hundred thousand. With an imposing air, he glanced at Shu Feng with condescending arrogance, sat down beside Wei Jiaxin, and casually wrapped an arm around her slender waist.

Wang Juan’s expression immediately darkened.

Tian Lijia’s face fell, and she asked through gritted teeth, "Jiaxin, who is he?"

Wei Jiaxin forced a smile. "Mom! He’s my boyfriend. Jiang Shengguang, the Executive President of Longsheng Group for Leining Province."

Jiang Shengguang looked down at Shu Feng with disdain. He tightened his arm around Wei Jiaxin and threatened arrogantly, "Kid, Jiaxin is my woman! A pretty boy like you better stay far away from her, you understand? Or else I’ll make you regret it!"

Longsheng Group was a massive conglomerate with over a trillion in assets and a sphere of influence that spanned the entire Blue Star. In the Qianyuan Republic’s Leining Province alone, the group’s assets were in the tens of billions.

As the Executive President of Longsheng Group for Leining Province, Jiang Shengguang had an eight-figure annual salary and an incredibly vast network. Even the mayor of Lei Jiang City had to treat him with respect, so naturally, he looked down on a mere college student like Shu Feng.

’The Executive President of Longsheng Group for Leining Province!’

Tian Lijia’s eyes lit up. The Executive President of Longsheng Group for Leining Province was a far better catch than a college student from Shuijing University like Shu Feng. Nothing would be better than having a man like that as her son-in-law.

Wang Juan’s expression, however, turned utterly foul, as if she had been viciously slapped across the face.

Shu Feng just smiled calmly and snapped his fingers. "Jiang Shengguang, as of today, you are no longer with Longsheng Group."

"Master, what are your orders?"

A sharp, capable-looking middle-aged man walked over from nearby and spoke with the utmost respect.

"Chairman Zhou!!!"

The moment Jiang Shengguang saw the man, he was dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes.

"The chairman of the Xinyuan Hotel!"

Tian Lijia also wore a look of disbelief. She had attended a few banquets and naturally recognized the man.

The Xinyuan Hotel was a five-star establishment with a net worth of over one hundred million. For the chairman of such a major hotel to address Shu Feng as ’Master’ was simply incredible.

Shu Feng said calmly, "Call the chairman of Longsheng Group. Tell him that his Executive President for Leining Province has displeased me. They have ten days to get the hell out of Leining Province."

"Yes, Master!"

Chairman Zhou responded respectfully and immediately dialed the headquarters of Longsheng Group.

A commanding voice came through the phone, "This is Zhao Nantian, Chairman of Longsheng Group. Who is this?"

Chairman Zhou said calmly, "I am Zhou Ming, a servant of the Yuanhai Shu Clan of the Qianyuan Republic. Your Executive President in Leining Province has greatly displeased our Clan Head. The Clan Head has given you ten days to get out of Leining Province. This is an order. Consider your next move carefully."

"The Yuanhai Shu Clan!"

On the other end of the line, the color drained from the face of Zhao Nantian, Chairman of Longsheng Group.

In truth, Longsheng Group was merely a front for the Zhu Clan, one of the Eight Great Clans of the Qianyuan Republic. The entire conglomerate was firmly in the Zhu Clan’s grasp. Zhao Nantian was just the public-facing CEO, a figurehead put in place to take the heat.

Zhao Nantian was also a Spiritualist. Although his cultivation had only reached the Spirit Master Level, he was still part of the Spiritualist community. He naturally understood the true nature of the world.

Not long ago, the Holy Palace that ruled the Qianyuan Republic had expanded from five Saints to six. The Sixth Saint was none other than Shu Feng, the head of the Yuanhai Shu Clan.
