258 Zheng Anqi (2/2)
Zheng family looked to the teenage boy with an indifferent face and suddenly felt worried for his cousin.
She had crossed the wrong person and the entire Zheng family was going to pay for her stupidity. She had used the bottle of medicine to take control over the family clan but when it came down to paying the debt, the entire family would have to suffer.
Zheng Anpin knew that his uncle's good days were numbered. He wagered if he could somehow capitalize on the ensuing conflict between Chen Fan and the Zheng family he could reclaim control of the family clan. With that thought in mind, Zheng Anpin's eyes lit up with glee. He pressed down the gas pedal and revved up the engine as the car vroomed toward the Victoria Bay.
Meanwhile, in a well-lit building beside the Bay of Victoria, a small banquet was being carried out.
This building was called the Shore Diamond and was made entirely out of glasses. One side of the structure was on the shore, the other half dipped into the water. The entire building was lit up by bright golden lights from inside of the building, making it a shiny beacon of opulence. From the top floor, one could have a terrific bird's eye view of the Victoria Bay.
This was a private club that only accepted guests who were either rich or dazzling movie stars. Tonight's party was to celebrate the 25th birthday of Zheng Anqi.
Zheng Anqi was wearing a white blouse. Small silvery plates were attached to the dress to support her ample bosom. She wore stiletto high heels and a silver tiara. Adding on her tall statuesque body, gorgeous curves, a face that looked like it was chiseled out of white marble and the cold demeanor, she looked just like a queen that lorded over the city.
”Happy birthday Miss Anqi!”
Many celebrities and elites attended the party.
Among them were the sons and daughters of CEOs from large corporations, billionaires who made their own fortune from nothing and investment bankers from Wall Street. All of them were well dressed and spiffy. Many of them had scandals with famous actresses and actors who were also present at the party.
Zheng Anqi wore a white silky glove and took a small sip out of her wine glass. No one dared to press her to drink more since she was officially the heir apparent of the Zheng family.
By now, Zheng Anqi's status had risen beyond any ordinary rich heir. Not only was she about to inherit the most powerful family in Hong Kong, but her beauty was also craved by many young men present at the party.
”Anna, how do you like everything?”
A young man walked over to her and said with a smile.
He was wearing a cream-colored tuxedo. His long dark hair hung loosely over his shoulders. Although he was not handsome, he carried an otherworldly indifference with him that made him look like a Buddhist monk.
Registering the young man's appearance, the other guests backed away to make way for him. They all watched the young man with great measure of respect.
He was not just any ordinary young man, he was the personal disciple of Zhou Daoji
Zhou Daoji, the master of Hong Kong was considered the most skilled practitioner in the field of Feng Shui. He was skilled at Dharma Spells, Fortune Telling, Face Reading and Feng Shui. His abilities were boundless and unimaginable. Zhou Daoji had been dominating Hong Kong for over a decade and had weathered many challenges from other Spellcasters, Witchdoctors and Daoist Monks from outside of Hong Kong. By now, Zhou Daoji lived in seclusion somewhere in Jiu Long District and only the top richest of Hong Kong would be able to invite him to any event. In other cases, he dispatched his disciples to attend events in his stead.
This young man was the youngest disciples of Zhou Daoji's three disciples. He was the master's final disciple and his favorite
The young man also didn't let Zhou Daoji down. He had made a name for himself at the young age of thirty and was given the nickname ”Little Perfected Cultivator.” He was not only well known in Hong Kong but also in entire Southeast Asia. He also made frequent appearances on fashion magazines for scandals with numerous actresses.
”Tiancheng, I feel uneasy lately. Thank you so much for organizing everything.” Zheng Anqi managed a smile.
As her grandfather's health recovered, her family, the ninth branch quickly expanded its influence and claimed the seat of power. However, this favorable development didn't bring Zheng Anqi any joy, instead, she became increasingly agitated.
She alone knew the source of her unease: over half a year ago, she had obtained the bottle of Arcane Pills from Chen Fan using trickery.
Zheng Anqi had never thought of paying for the pills in the beginning. Ten billion was a huge number even for the Zheng family and she knew it would be nearly impossible for the other family branches to spit out a dime even if the money was for the old man's health.
”I think you have been working too hard. I have created an elixir that would be perfect for you to recuperate and de-stress. I will bring it to you next time.” Nin Tianchen said with a tender smile.
The caring words gave Zheng Anqi a fuzzy warm feeling inside.
The young man before her met all of her criteria, let it be his abilities, appearance, and status, he scored ten out of ten in all of those categories. She wondered if she should give him a chance?
So thinking, she saw a middle-aged man wearing a silk traditional dress hurry toward him.
”Mr. Shi.”
A smile surfaced on Zheng Anqi's face.
Nin Tianchen also nodded at Mr. Shi. Little was known about Mr. Shi but everyone knew that he was a peak Dao-Reaching Level spell caster. There were only a handful of other spell casters who could rival his skills.
However, Nin Tianchen was unfazed by Mr. Shi's appearance; after all, he was the personal disciple of Zhou Daoji and had reached Dao-Reaching Level when he was only thirty. He was confident that he would eventually surpass Mr. Shi 's level of attainment and became a Perfected Cultivator. His apparent respect for Mr. Shi was only a show for Zheng Anqi.
Mr. Shi furrowed his brows and said: ”Miss Anqi, I have new information about the matter you asked me to investigate.”
”It is… very bad… That Chen Fan is not an ordinary person at all.”
