8: Chapter 8: A Big Gift for the Protagonist

The streets of Magic City were bustling like dragons and horses. Inside a taxi.

"Driver, you just said that Liu Yanran is one of the four great beauties of Magic City, as beautiful as a celestial being. Tell me, just how beautiful is she?" Lin Tianyang drooled, looking utterly lecherous.

"I don't know how beautiful a celestial being is, but I do know that Liu Yanran's beauty is a dream that countless men in our Magic City can only look at but never reach." "She is the daughter of the Liu family, the president of the Liu Group, a quintessential ice-queen CEO, rich and beautiful." "Whoever marries her would be blessed with the virtue accumulated from their past life." Mentioning his goddess, the driver also became interested.

"Oh, so Liu Yanran is that beautiful." "An ice-queen CEO, huh? Interesting. The old man didn't arrange such a bad fiancée for me." The old man had finally relented this time, allowing him to come down the mountain. Not only that, but he had also arranged a marriage for him. Lin Tianyang had originally refused. Having finally come down once, he wanted to enjoy life; how could he be tied down by a marriage contract and a woman? But now, it was worth considering.

"Little brother, are you talking nonsense?" The driver turned his head, his face full of disdain. "Young man, it's better to keep your feet on the ground. Daydreaming will only harm yourself and others."

"Summer insects cannot discuss ice. I'm heading to the Liu Group right now, and whether I fancy that Liu Yanran or not is another matter." Lin Tianyang wasn't angered by the driver's disdain; the two were simply not on the same level. His level was not something a mere driver could understand.

"It's a good thing for young people to have grand ideals." "But as someone who has been through it, I still advise you: the Liu family is not a place you can go, and Magic City is not a place you can come to." "Go back early, and you might still save your life; otherwise, you will regret it too late." The driver sighed and couldn't help but warn him.

"Just drive your car and stop sticking your nose into my business." Lin Tianyang frowned, his face full of annoyance. Just after coming down the mountain, he was lectured by a taxi driver, which ruined his previous good mood.

"Death is at your doorstep, and you don't even know it!" The driver sneered, revealing a meaningful smile.

Ignoring the driver and intending to close his eyes and rest, Lin Tianyang suddenly felt a blockage in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

"Quick, stop the car!" A sense of crisis flooded his heart. Without time to think, Lin Tianyang jumped out of the car.

The moment Lin Tianyang jumped out, the driver slammed the steering wheel, performed a 360-degree spin in place, and quickly jumped out of the car to flee. At the same time, a Range Rover rammed over, slamming into the taxi Lin Tianyang had been sitting in, sending it flying. A piece of glass debris, by some coincidence, locked onto Lin Tianyang.

"Ah..." A pig-like scream drowned out the sound of the explosion. Lin Tianyang touched his disfigured cheek, his expression gloomy.

He knew that someone must be plotting against him behind his back. Just after coming down the mountain, he was targeted, and even his face, which he was proud of, was destroyed by the other party. More importantly, he didn't even know who the enemy was. This was simply a great humiliation and a life-and-death feud.

Not far away, Chu Yuan, lying in the car, looked at his masterpiece with triumph. "This Protagonist isn't much. Dressed in rags like a beggar, and now in this disheveled state, disfigured to boot—nobody would believe he isn't a beggar." While sighing, he couldn't help but marvel that the modified bulletproof car was awesome; even the Protagonist couldn't escape this collision.

"Shishi, drive the car over. This young master wants to see this kid." Hiding in the shadows and playing dirty? There was no need for that at all. As the ultimate villain, Chu Yuan possessed the System and the strength of the early Transcendent. Even relying on the Chu family's power, cleaning up Lin Tianyang would be a matter of minutes.

Zuo Shishi didn't speak, stepped on the gas, and the Range Rover performed a beautiful drift, stopping exactly in front of Lin Tianyang.

Lin Tianyang was searching the world for his enemy. He was not a kind person; he believed in retaliation for every grievance, and immediate retaliation at that. He hadn't expected the mastermind to dare to appear directly in front of him. What was most hateful was that Chu Yuan actually rolled down the window and gestured at him with a finger.

"You are courting death!" He had caused his disfigurement and dared to despise him. Unable to endure any longer, Lin Tianyang decided there was no need to tolerate it any further; he would teach this kid a lesson today. Lin Tianyang charged directly, like a gust of wind, sweeping over rapidly.

"Stop the thief, protect the young master!" At the command, the twenty or thirty bodyguards who had been ready in the back quickly surrounded him, blocking the front of the Range Rover.

"Mayflies shaking a tree, overestimating themselves!" Burning with anger, Lin Tianyang clenched his fists and attacked. He naturally didn't put this group of extras in his eyes, acting nonchalant and not using his full strength at all. However, in the next second, he paid the price for his arrogance. After knocking down two bodyguards, a sudden punch caught him off guard.

Pfft! An iron fist slammed into Lin Tianyang's face, knocking out one of his front teeth.

"Mid-stage Dark Power?" "I didn't expect there to be a Dark Power expert here." Lin Tianyang spat out blood and gave a cruel smile. "So what if you are at the mid-stage of Dark Power? You will pay the price for your actions." Thoroughly enraged, Lin Tianyang went all out, like a wolf among sheep, knocking one person down with every punch. Even the Dark Power expert who had ambushed him earlier couldn't block a few rounds and was beaten back step by step. Knowing they were no match for Lin Tianyang, this group continued to hold on, guarding the last line of defense. Lin Tianyang was now like a mad dog, rampaging recklessly, completely losing his reason.

Being provoked so easily made Chu Yuan, who was watching the show, speechless. But it made sense. The famous quote often seen, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the young and poor," was for losers without strength to make bold statements and find a sense of existence. Someone like Lin Tianyang, relying on a bit of strength, acted like he was the best under heaven. Naturally, he would seek revenge for every grievance and wouldn't let a grudge last overnight. Chu Yuan loved this kind of foolish Protagonist; it added a bit of fun to his dull life.

"Young master, Jia Rong and the others are about to collapse. Do you want me to help?" Zuo Shishi said. Jia Rong was the Transcendent expert who had ambushed Lin Tianyang just now and was one of the Chu family's retainers. This time, to deal with Lin Tianyang, Chu Yuan had mobilized a dozen Clear Power experts and Jia Rong, this Dark Power expert. Such force was more than enough to wipe out those big families. It seemed that dealing with a Protagonist like Lin Tianyang was still not enough. A mid-stage Dark Power expert like Lin Tianyang could fight a hundred alone and even challenge those of higher levels. Unfortunately, this wasn't a martial arts world; so what if he could fight? Chu Yuan waved his hand, rejected Zuo Shishi's suggestion, and then dialed the police emergency number.
