44: Chapter 44 The three-year period has ended; we respectfully invite the Dragon King to return to his throne! What kind of Dragon King are you?
The surroundings were silent as the grave.
Yang Xu coughed, breaking the silence. "Young Master Shen, today is, after all, the birthday banquet for the Tang Matriarch..."
"Who do you think you are?"
Shen Yuan pointed at Yang Xu's nose. "When I am speaking, is it your place to interrupt?"
"Ding, keep it up, Host! You are increasingly embodying the essence of a Villain!" the System shrieked.
Shen Yuan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the System.
If the System didn't stir up trouble for a day, it would feel uncomfortable.
"Shen Yuan!" Yang Xu, exasperated, blurted out.
"What did you call me?" Shen Yuan turned his head, looking Yang Xu up and down, a glimmer of sinister light flashing in his eyes.
"Lin Yu calls me Shen Yuan, and I don't find fault with him!"
"But here..." "You, Yang Xu, call me Shen Yuan..." "Do you think that is appropriate?" "How should you be addressing me?" Shen Yuan demanded.
"Young Master Shen!" Yang Xu took a deep breath and cupped his hands. "I was just momentarily insane! But it is better to be forgiving when possible..."
Shen Yuan's mouth curled into a smirk. "Forgive others and end up having your family wiped out!" "Therefore, I have always believed in cutting weeds at the roots; I will never leave myself a shred of hidden danger!"
Lin Yu: [ ・ _ ・ ? ] Wait a minute, why does that smile of yours look so familiar to me?
Yang Xu: " ( ￣ ( エ ) ￣ ) ゞ Is that sentence even correct?
"I said just now, I was hit by the Emperor Jade Great Wall that was thrown out!" "Is anyone going to do anything about it!?" "If no one manages it, I'm going to go berserk!" Shen Yuan shook his neck, letting out a sinister cackle.
Everyone: Aren't you already going berserk now?
"Apologize!" The Tang Matriarch slapped Tang Mother across the face. "Apologize to Young Master Shen!"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry!" Tang Mother hurriedly lowered her head to bow, though her eyes held a trace of malice.
"Today!" Shen Yuan stretched. "It really gave me a good show!"
"They say family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, but you, the Tang Family, are truly a laughingstock!"
Shen Yuan casually placed the bowl on the table. "This is my birthday gift!" "A northern song dynasty jun ware sky-blue glaze wash basin!" Shen Yuan pointed at the bowl. "Tang Matriarch, what do you think?"
Everyone looked over in unison. ( ； ￣ д ￣ ) ( ； O д O ) ( ； ≧ д ≦ ) This is just a bowl from last week, right?
"Young Master Shen, this joke is not funny!" Tang Mengxin suddenly said.
Shen Yuan glanced sideways. "Not funny!?" "Do you think I'm joking with you?" "I said this is a northern song dynasty jun ware sky-blue glaze wash basin, so it is!" Shen Yuan was incredibly arrogant, looking smug. "Even if it isn't, it has to be!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
"The gift, I have given!" "But the blow I received..." "Requires compensation!" Shen Yuan rubbed his fingers together. "I don't want much, just the value of the northern song dynasty jun ware sky-blue glaze wash basin will suffice!" "Three hundred million, transfer it to my account!" "Then we shall be square, how about that?" Shen Yuan was all smiles, like a hungry wolf ready to devour someone.
The guests present gasped. Is Young Master Shen trying to pull off a scam? He's playing this so skillfully!
"You, you..." Tang Mother pointed at Shen Yuan. "You are bullying people too much!"
"No, no, no!" Shen Yuan extended a finger and shook it gently. "I am not bullying people, I am suppressing them!" "I am just suppressing you all..." "What can you do about it?" Shen Yuan was all smiles.
"I will pay!" The Tang Matriarch gritted her teeth. Could she refuse?
"Very good!" Shen Yuan said with a beaming smile. "Then I will go back and wait for the transfer!"
"Right, Lin Yu!" Shen Yuan looked at Lin Yu. "Do you want to get a divorce?" "After the divorce, how about coming to work for me?" Shen Yuan asked.
Lin Yu smiled. "Young Master Shen, thanks, but..."
Shen Yuan raised a finger. "Right, there is one more thing I haven't said!" "You don't want this thing, right?" Shen Yuan shook the Emperor Jade. "Then I'm taking it!" "A bunch of blind fools!" "You really took the Imperial Green for a glass bottle!"
Shen Yuan turned around elegantly. "This necklace is entirely connected by precious metals in the shape of the Great Wall and is embedded with a large number of diamonds." "The top-grade Imperial Green jade pigeon egg in the center has a visible transparency to the naked eye, with almost no obvious impurities." "It is infinitely close to perfect purity, which is extremely rare." "The most important thing is..." "The color is vibrant!" "Do you understand what vibrant color means?" "You don't?" "A bunch of losers!"
Shen Yuan stretched. "Time to go, I picked up five hundred million for free!" "Coming out today was definitely worth it!" Shen Yuan laughed happily.
Lin Yu hurriedly shouted, "That is mine!"
Shen Yuan shrugged. "You gave it away, they didn't want it, and threw it away!" "This is now ownerless property!" "I picked it up, so naturally it is mine!" "After all, it was determined to be ownerless from the start, so legally you can't sue me!" Shen Yuan said cheekily. "Little Lin, don't you think that's the logic?"
Lin Yu: "..." Damn it! How can someone make robbery sound so fresh and refined?
And at this moment... there was a commotion in the crowd... A man and a woman were seen dressed in black, with solemn expressions and an aura of killing intent! One look and you could tell... they were people who had killed before!
"Subordinates... pay respects to the Dragon King!" The two appeared and immediately knelt on one knee.
"The three-year period has arrived, respectfully inviting the Dragon King to return to his throne!" The two shouted in unison.
"Rise," Lin Yu said expressionlessly, then turned to look at the people of the Tang Family.
Shen Yuan was expressionless. "Not bad, you really are the Dragon King!"
Lin Yu froze for a moment and turned his head abruptly. "You know me!?" Oh no, Shen Yuan knows me? I actually didn't investigate him; it seems I made a mistake! This Shen Yuan is truly unfathomable!
"Lin Yu, you good-for-nothing!" Tang Mother started making trouble again, courting death. "Dragon King? What kind of Dragon King are you?"
"How dare you show disrespect to the Dragon King!" The two stepped forward simultaneously and shouted.
"The Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall is here!" Lin Yu looked arrogant.
The crowd was stunned. Dragon King Hall? That is the top mercenary underground organization abroad! Those present were not familiar with the Dragon King Hall, but they had heard of it.
But... Lin Yu, this useless live-in son-in-law, is the Dragon King!? Tang Mengxin widened her eyes. Tang Mengyao also opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with joy.
"The three-year period has arrived!" Lin Yu said proudly. "I promised Old Master Tang that for three years, I would hide my identity and be a live-in son-in-law for the Tang Family!" "If Mengxin did not fall in love with me!" "I would divorce her, and from then on, we would go our separate ways!" Lin Yu said calmly. "It seems..." "Mengxin..." "I will leave with nothing, see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow!" "Don't be late!" Lin Yu looked arrogant.
Xiao Ce could no longer hold back. He rushed out, swung a wine bottle, and smashed it towards Lin Yu's head.
"Damn it..." "You dog, tomorrow is Saturday, the Civil Affairs Bureau is closed!" "Who are you trying to act tough in front of your daddy!" A whistling sound came as the bottle swung, and Lin Yu hurriedly dodged to the side. But... he didn't dodge in time! Bang... the wine bottle shattered!
Lin Yu staggered and turned around, shouting, "Who dares..." His two subordinates were also about to make a move.
"Damn, Brother Ce!?" "Don't attack!" Lin Yu hurriedly shouted.
"You dog, you've been missing for three years!" "I thought you had kicked the bucket!" Xiao Ce sneered. "Are you trying to act like a big shot here?"
Lin Yu swung a wine bottle and suddenly smashed it on Xiao Ce's head. Lin Yu laughed. "Brother Ce, your Iron Head Skill hasn't gotten rusty, has it!"
Xiao Ce: "I'm a master of the Iron Leg!"
