70: Chapter 70: The Third Kill is Perfectly Achieved! Qin Zhenhai's Shock to His Son
"I... I can't see..."
"My eyes... my five hundred million... Chuchu..."
Xiao Fan writhed in pain in the sewer.
Two trails of blood-red tears, mixed with nauseating muddy water, flowed down from his empty, lifeless eyes.
Qin Yuan sat in the backseat of the Maybach, watching everything coldly through the drone's camera.
This ant, who had once tried to see through everything and defy the heavens with his X-ray Vision.
Now, he had completely become a true blind man.
A blind man burdened with millions in usury, abandoned by everyone.
A thousand times more painful than death.
[Ding! The third Child of Destiny elimination progress is 100%!]
[Congratulations, Host! The third kill is perfectly accomplished!]
[Obtained ultimate reward: Top-tier Destiny Halo (Passive: Immune to all detection-type golden finger scans)!]
The crisp system notification sounded in Qin Yuan's mind.
Qin Yuan casually turned off the screen, having lost all interest in even looking at it one more time.
"Backer! Backer!"
Gu Qianqian tapped Qin Yuan's arm excitedly, holding the tablet up to him like she was presenting a treasure.
"Guess what good stuff I found in the upgraded system shop with those 30,000 Destiny Points just now?"
Qin Yuan glanced at the screen, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
It was several highly classified documents regarding the dark secrets of several old-school wealthy families in the capital.
"Well done."
Qin Yuan rubbed Gu Qianqian's head.
"Organize these things well; this is our 'stepping stone' for gaining a foothold in the capital."
"Return to the Qin Family mansion."
...
One hour later.
The capital, a prime location within the Second Ring Road where land is worth its weight in gold.
In front of a vast, magnificent Chinese-style princely mansion.
Two majestic white marble stone lions guarded the main gate.
This was one of the top aristocratic families in China—the capital's Qin Family.
The Maybach slowly drove into the gate.
As soon as Qin Yuan stepped out of the car, Butler Chen came up to greet him.
"Young Master, the Master has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."
Butler Chen's tone carried an unprecedented sense of respect and awe.
Before, he had only seen Qin Yuan as a playboy young master who needed protection.
But now, after experiencing that series of thunderous methods in Jiangzhong City.
Butler Chen knew deeply that the young master before him had transformed into a true man-eating tiger!
"Mm."
Qin Yuan nodded faintly and walked straight toward the study.
He pushed open the heavy golden silk nanmu doors.
A rich scent of sandalwood and the steady aura of a person in power rushed toward him.
In the center of the study, a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit, exuding an aura of authority without anger, was standing before a massive rosewood desk, wielding a brush and ink.
It was Qin Yuan's biological father, the current head of the Qin Family, Qin Zhenhai.
"You're back."
Qin Zhenhai did not look up, his brush moving like a dragon or snake, writing a murderous character for "Power" on the rice paper.
"Dad."
Qin Yuan walked forward and casually tossed the file Gu Qianqian had organized onto the desk.
"Take a look, this counts as my greeting gift for returning to the capital."
Qin Zhenhai stopped his brush and picked up the file to scan it.
At the very first glance, his eyes, sharp as a falcon's, suddenly shrank to the size of needle points!
"This... is this the hard evidence of the Wang family embezzling state assets back then?!"
"And the list of illegitimate children of that old immortal from the Li family, who kept mistresses overseas?!"
The more Qin Zhenhai read, the more shocked he became, his hand holding the file unable to stop trembling slightly.
He suddenly raised his head, looking incredulously at his son who was half a head taller than himself.
"These things... where did you get them?!"
These were the fatal weak spots of several major families in the capital!
He, Qin Zhenhai, had managed the Qin Family for decades, sending out countless industrial spies, yet had never been able to obtain core secrets of this level!
Yet his own son, who had just returned from a "vacation" in Jiangzhong, was tossing them to him as casually as if they were cabbage?!
"Just some minor tricks."
Qin Yuan walked to the sofa on the side and sat down, his tone lazy, as if he had done an insignificant trifle.
"This is called the ways of the world."
Qin Zhenhai looked at Qin Yuan's calm and composed demeanor, and a stormy sea surged in his heart!
He had originally thought that Qin Yuan had made such a huge commotion in Jiangzhong City, sealing off the Divine Doctor, destroying the Asura Hall, and even mobilizing high-level military and police forces, was just him being young and impulsive, using the family's background to play around and fight for petty jealousy.
He had even prepared to lecture him properly and make him tone it down when Qin Yuan returned.
But now!
Looking at the top-secret files on the table, and thinking about how the richest man in Jiangnan, the Shen Family, had actually taken the initiative to come to their door just yesterday and announce their unconditional merger into the Qin Family's commercial territory!
And that Japanese Sword Saint who was rumored to be god-like, had been blasted to smithereens by a few anti-ship missiles!
Was all of this behind the scenes actually the work of his own son?!
This was not playing around at all!
This was clearly a long-planned, dimensionality-reducing purge of the entire Chinese and even overseas underground forces!
What was even more terrifying was that he had done all of this without using a single bit of the Qin Family's main power!
It was all relying on his own unfathomable "network of connections"!
"Yuan'er..."
Qin Zhenhai took a deep breath and put down the file.
He walked up to Qin Yuan and stared at his son with a look of re-evaluation.
Decisive in killing!
Unfathomable!
Treating human life and rules like grass!
This was the true demeanor of an overlord!
Compared to those wine-bag and rice-sack relatives within the Qin Family who only knew how to scheme against each other and fight for petty gains.
His own son had grown to a height that even made him, the father, feel heart palpitations!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Qin Zhenhai suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter filled with irrepressible fanaticism and pride.
"Worthy of being the seed of me, Qin Zhenhai!"
He patted Qin Yuan's shoulder heavily, with such force that it seemed he wanted to pass on all his expectations.
"I originally intended to give you another three years to train."
"Now it seems, I am the one who is old and muddled, underestimating you!"
Qin Zhenhai turned around, his eyes like torches, scanning this study that symbolized the highest power of the Qin Family.
"Since you have already bared your fangs."
"Then this seat of the Qin Family should be handed over to you ahead of schedule."
Qin Zhenhai's voice was sonorous and forceful, carrying an unquestionable dominance.
"From tomorrow on, you will officially take over all core businesses and family law enforcement powers of the Qin Group!"
"As for those stubborn old men within the family, and your unruly cousin Qin Tianming, whether to kill or spare them is entirely up to your word!"
Qin Yuan sat on the sofa, watching the old man's excited appearance, looking like a case of late-stage chuunibyou.
He hooked the corner of his mouth into an evil, charming smile and did not refuse.
Taking over the Qin Family was already a part of his plan.
Only by mastering a true national-level aristocratic machine could he maximize the system's favor value.
And be able to meet the next, even crazier, even more absurd plane hunting.
"Since you are so generous, Dad, I will reluctantly accept."
Qin Yuan stood up and straightened the collar of his high-end custom suit.
"However, the rules of this capital, from now on, must follow my, Qin Yuan's, rules."
Qin Zhenhai looked at his son's eyes, which revealed endless ambition and arrogance.
He laughed loudly and patted Qin Yuan's shoulder heavily again.
"Son!"
Qin Zhenhai's eyes were burning with a raging fire of ambition.
"From today on, the sky of this capital!"
"If you don't want it to be bright, it must remain dark!"
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Is that so?"
He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the study, looking at the prosperous and dazzling, yet undercurrent-surging night view of the capital outside.
"Then what if... someone insists on fighting me for this piece of sky?"
Qin Yuan's gaze fell toward a certain direction outside the window.
There.
It was the old-school wealthy family in the capital, the Ye Family.
That was where the cold and domineering queen—Cold-Blooded Empress Ye Qingcheng—was located.
