Chapter 388 - Yang Qinhu Arrives (2/2)

Chen Fan reflected on his past as he enjoyed Kon Jen’yu’s famous song called “Incarnation.”

“We looked to each other from a distance for a thousand years,

“Finally we got to spend one lifetime together.”

— I am back after five hundred years, There you stand with the same smile I loved.

The song was not particularly well made but it was almost tailored for Kon Jen’yu. The rhythm and the melody were matched Kon Jen’yu’s appearance and the timbre of her voice perfectly. Her performance made the song so much more than just an arrangement of music notes, but instead expressed experiences which lay between words: the timelessness of love.

She finished the song on a high note and a tsunami of cheers and applause showered at her. Many people stood up and chanted encore ceaselessly.

Kon Jen’yu put on a faint smile, but her eyes had betrayed her pride.

Fate had been kind to her. Her fame had skyrocketed as soon as her debut alb.u.m came out. Her quick and easy rise to fame didn’t sit well with many of her compet.i.tors who used to be much more famous than her. Try as they might, they couldn’t slow down the rate at which she was becoming a superstar.

Chen Fan registered something was off as he furrowed his brows.

He noticed very familiar energy rippling about Kon Jen’yu. It was very similar to the energy emanated out from Yun Qianqian’s bead bracelet. Chen Fan looked around at Kon Jen’yu and lo and behold, he found a necklace made out of wooden beads hanging from her neck.

“Could it be another sinister Dharma Artifact from the Skull Temple?” Chen Fan shook his head and lamented: “The entertainment industry was full of despicable men and women who wouldn’t hesitate to harm others for personal gain. I wager that once the effect of the necklace kicks in, Kon Jen’yu would soon fall from grace and be forgotten by the public.”

Chen Fan finally remembered that that was exactly what had happened to Kon Jen’yu in his past life. The necklace must be the culprit.

However, Chen Fan was not exactly a paragon of righteousness either. Since he barely even knew the girl, he felt there was no need to get involved.

Even as Kon Jen’yu was ready to oblige the audiences by singing another one, a group of black-clad men barged into the ballroom. There were a hundred of them and they pushed people out of their way, knocking tables over to widen the path like a bunch of bullies.

“Who are you?”

Someone asked these black-clad thugs hotly.

“It’s none of your d.a.m.n business! Move away!” One of the men in black flung back at the man in a cold voice.

The man was going to press on, but he was quickly stopped by his companion. “Are you out of your mind, they are from the Fu Hai Group. They will throw you off the s.h.i.+p if you speak up against them.”

The speaker suddenly realized something as his face turned pale and dared not to speak.

The manager of the cruise walked over toward these men in black, but they didn’t even spare him a glance. They came right up to Qi Dongsheng and asked: “Lord Qi, Lord Din requests your presence.”

“Humph! If Din Duhai wants to see me, he should come to me. Why should I travel all the way to him?” Qi Dongsheng slammed the table and protested.

The two bodyguards who had been standing right behind him also took a step forward; eyes glinting.

These black cladded man pulled a taut face and were about to throw their gloves off, a voice drifted in from outside.

“Qi Dongsheng! I bet you have never thought that I would catch you here! Do you think you are the only person who has connections in j.a.pan? I deal with the j.a.panese as well.”

A man with a big belly sauntered into the room; he was wearing a gaudy Chinese traditional outfit while holding a pair of jade health exercise b.a.l.l.s in his hands. Behind him was another man of similar age, but with a much leaner face and less ostentatious clothing.

As soon as the two walked into the room, the hundred or so black-clad bodyguards bowed to them and said: “Welcome Lord Din and Lord Yang.”

The development scared the other guests in the room and their faces quickly turned pale. Even Kon Jen’yu turned into a bundle of nerves.

Qi Dongsheng was able to remain calm even when he saw the man in the gaudy traditional outfit, but when he saw the other man in plain clothing, he nearly fell off his chair: “Yang Qinhu?”

“Indeed, this is Lord Yang!” Din Duhai replied with a large grin. “Qi Dongsheng, Lord Yang told you that he wanted to hear an apology from you personally, but look what you have done. You came to j.a.pan and look for help instead. Well, Lord Yang is right here, I hope you have found your help.”

Qi Dongsheng’s face turned black as words got caught in his throat.

The two bodyguards standing behind him also tensed up their body, ready for a fight. However, they couldn’t hide the despair in their eyes.

Their opponent was Yang Qinhu, who ranked number twenty on the Heaven roll. He had killed twenty Russia secret agents while working up north. On the other hand, the two bodyguards were only Internal Force users who hadn’t even reached the peak level yet. They would stand no chance against Yang Qinhu.

Yang Qinhu linked his hands behind his back and made his way to Qi Dongsheng slowly. “Qi Dongsheng, I don’t care what had happened between you and Fu Hai Group, I will spare your life today if you pull all of your investments out of our territory and compensate us with 10 billion yuan.”

Qi Dongsheng kept his silence as his heart sank to the bottom.
