The Invincible Strongest Student

It’s been five days since the card venue was sealed off, but the buzz around this event hasn’t died down; if anything, it’s been on the rise because the matter hasn’t been fully resolved. The netizens are still curious about whether Wang Daoran, the chairman of Wang Group, is involved in this incident.

Lately, Wang Group has been unusually quiet, showing no significant actions. All business and operations remain as they were before, as if nothing has ever happened; everything proceeds as usual.

Of course, that’s how it looks to outsiders. Internally, within the Wang Group, there have indeed been occurrences, such as the dismissal of those gossip-mongers, regardless of their position, never to be rehired!

Additionally, the public relations department of Wang Group has been especially busy lately. The group’s reputation, although large, isn’t exactly flattering. Some online commentators blatantly accuse Wang Daoran of being a big drug lord, a notorious gambler.

Also, police officers in uniform haven’t been absent from Wang Mansion these days. In just five days, aside from Liao Stone, three others were taken away, one senior executive and two mid-level managers.

More critically, after being taken away by the police, they never returned from the station. It’s been said these three individuals were also involved in trafficking drugs.

This time, the Wang Family is undoubtedly in turmoil. Not only did the stock plummet, but the enemies took advantage of the situation, posting unfavorable claims about the Wang Family online, stirring up a storm anew!

Yet, the Wang Family isn’t easy to mess with. The public relations department quickly implemented countermeasures, minimizing negative remarks and financial losses for the group, and filed lawsuits against some rumormongers.

At this time, the helmsman of Wang Group, Wang Daoran, was sitting alone in his office, seated in a soft armchair, overlooking the other skyscrapers through the floor-to-ceiling window, feeling his own insignificance.

In the past, Wang Daoran also liked overlooking from this angle, only back then, he felt like everything was under his feet. His heart was filled with great ambition.

But now, as times have changed, so have people. He only lightly sighed, quoting, "Thinking of the vastness of heaven and earth, lone tears fall helplessly."

Yes, I am indeed very small.

So small that even previous partners are now avoiding him like the plague, slipping away one by one.

In recent days, Wang Daoran has attempted to leverage his connections to overcome current hardships, but alas, in the present circumstances, nobody dares to get too close to him. Indeed, too small.

Wang Daoran has also liaised with the Ancient Martial the Wang Family behind him, learning that they too are using their connections to help their cash cow through this crisis. Sadly, the challenge is immense; the four major families joined forces, aiming to bring down the Ancient Martial the Wang Family is difficult, but dealing with a group, especially a tainted one, isn’t much of a challenge.

Over the five days, the Ancient Martial the Wang Family has only managed to stall some case progress, yet even with the time bought, they couldn’t come up with a good solution.

Including Liao Stone, two senior executives and two mid-level managers are already in custody. Who’s next? The shareholders? Or Wang Daoran?

Whoever it is, there must not be any more! Wang Group must extricate from this quagmire, otherwise...

Nebula Bar is the most expensive bar in the entire Kanyue City, one of the most posh and enjoyable bars.

Nebula Building, towering at 499 meters with a footprint of 9,831 square meters, has 99 floors above ground besides its seven underground levels, standing as the second tallest landmark in Kanyue City.

Nebula Bar is located on the 90th floor, where you can closely view the clouds, overlooking all of Kanyue City, particularly stunning when night falls and thousands of lights illuminate.

Nebula Bar is also quite popular; those who come here either have money, power, or influence—after all, the expenditure here is not low.

Wang Sijing is sitting in a private room at Nebula Bar, sipping Haut-Brion red wine, gazing at the high-rise buildings and bustling roads like blocks of tofu beneath her feet, feeling extremely complex inside.

She sits there holding a wine glass, and the second hand has made forty-five laps. She has been waiting here for forty-five minutes.

She knows it’s intentional. Why else would someone be so late?

If it were at another time and with a different negotiation partner, Wang Sijing wouldn’t be as irritated as she is now. After all, cultivators have the best temperament; whether forty-five minutes or sitting for a dreary forty-five days, she wouldn’t mind.

But today’s meeting is with the person she despises the most—Lin Tian!

That person, just like Shuqing the monk from Five Pure Mountains said, is her misfortune. Everything involving him is trouble; even her heart can’t settle.

"If he doesn’t come in fifteen more minutes, I’m leaving!"

Wang Sijing thought to herself.

Coming here is tough enough, yet she still has to endure that Lin’s insult!

Thinking this, Wang Sijing found it hard to calm her mood.

Finally, after sixty laps of the second hand, it has been an hour!

Grabbing her bag, filled with rage ready to explode!

No more waiting!

Just then, the door swung open, and Lin Tian appeared at the entrance, glanced inside the private room, smiled as though nothing had happened, and said, "Miss Wang sure knows how to enjoy life and picked a great place."

Wang Sijing looked at Lin Tian expressionlessly, saying nothing.

"I’m not late, am I? I showed up right on the dot."

Wang Sijing’s gaze sharpened; she truly wanted to kill this bastard!

Indeed, he came exactly on time—except for the one-hour delay, not a second off!

Too angry to speak, fearing she would only utter foul words and chase him away. That would be counterproductive.

Exhale~

Taking a deep breath, Wang Sijing tried to keep her mind clear, unclouded by hatred.

While speaking, Lin Tian came in, boldly sitting in the chair opposite Wang Sijing, casually pouring himself a glass of red wine, then leaned towards the window, peeked down, couldn’t contain his excitement, and exclaimed, "Damn!"

Noticing Wang Sijing’s slightly angry eyes on him, Lin Tian laughed, "The night view is so beautiful from here, I couldn’t help but appreciate it; don’t you think those two words fit the setting perfectly?"

Wang Sijing continued to stare at Lin Tian, saying nothing. She thought ’idiot’ fits the person even better.

Lin Tian sipped the wine and said, "If you want to continue talking, then sit down; if not, then just leave. I don’t like talking to people while I’m sitting and they’re standing, and I also don’t like your current look in your eyes."

Remembering the purpose of meeting this bastard, Wang Sijing sat down, straightforwardly asking, "What would it take for you to back off?"
