Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 150: Chapter 141: I Will Slay All Enemies

Late at night, in the WhatsApp group "Middle-aged Activity Center."

An endless stream of messages scrolled by, far livelier than usual.

[Jing Haixin]: Does anyone know who that Prince Heng is? Where the hell did he come from? What a fucking show-off!

[Yichen]: Same question. He started at ten o’clock, and it looks like he’s gifted over two thousand Carnivals across the whole platform by now, right?

[Shepherd]: Son of a bitch, he actually poached my Xinxin! And before he left, he hit me with some line about "your penguin farm is ringing." What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[Nao Nao]: Brother Yang, he means "you suck"...

[Shepherd]: Goddamnit! He better hope I don’t find out who he is!

[Jing Haixin]: This Prince Heng is way too arrogant. Should we teach him a lesson? Otherwise, he’ll really start thinking he’s invincible!

[Qiuying]: Count me in. I just fucking found out he poached my Bingbing for an offline meetup too!

[Bai River]: Let’s get him!

[Mysterious City]: Prince Heng? Heh, amusing. It’s been a long time since anyone dared call himself a king in my presence!

[Nao Nao]: Why do I get the feeling Brother Cheng’s condition is getting worse? Next time we meet up, can someone please uninstall the Tomato Novel app from his phone!

...

One after another, the group members chimed in, all focused on a single topic: Prince Heng.

Their words were tinged with a collective, simmering rage.

The entire WhatsApp group had 109 members. Anyone who frequented TikTok livestreams would immediately realize that every single person in this group was a whale. They were all long-time high-rollers on the platform, with the lowest being Level 70. There were even several super-whales with maxed-out accounts.

Suddenly, the flood of messages in the group came to a halt.

[Desire Emperor]: When the time is right, I will make my move.

When the group members saw him surface, the atmosphere instantly became even more electric.

Desire Emperor was one of the few super-whales in the group with a max-level TikTok account. Furthermore, his was a purely personal account, not an operational one propped up by guilds recycling donations to inflate their numbers.

Max Level meant that Desire Emperor had spent a minimum of 20 million on TikTok.

However, everyone in the group knew Desire Emperor’s spending had long surpassed 20 million. Level 75 was TikTok’s limit, but it wasn’t his.

[Jing Haixin]: With Brother Yu making a move, this is a guaranteed win!

[Bai River]: Shit, I just heard that Prince Heng got all those female streamers onto a yacht. They’re cruising on the Huangpu River right now!

[Qiuying]: ???

[Qiuying]: My Bingbing!!!

[Shepherd]: I’m fucking losing my mind. Don’t tell me my Xinxin is on that yacht too?

[Nao Nao]: Brother Yang, you can bet on it!

[Yichen]: Say what you will, but the guy is a beast. He starts the bidding at two hundred Carnivals. It’s tough to compete with that.

[Mysterious City]: At the apex of TikTok, I stand proud! Where I, Mysterious City, am, there is the heavens!

[Mysterious City]: Brothers, rest assured. Tonight, I shall vanquish all foes!

[Nao Nao]: Brother Cheng, even if we must fight until the Great Dao itself is ground to dust, we will fight to the death and never retreat!

[Mysterious City]: My brother!

[Yichen]: ...

[Bai River]: ...

[Desire Emperor]: ...

...

Joking and banter aside, a battle plan was starting to form.

The "Low Level" Level 70 Scouts would spread out across the platform. The moment "Prince Heng" showed his face again, they would join forces to teach him a lesson and curb his rampant arrogance.

...

Zhonghai, on the flybridge of a Princess X95 yacht.

Gu Heng watched Lili and Yaya board the yacht, a faint smile on his face.

"Lili, Yaya, let me make some introductions."

Xi Xi put an arm around the petite Yaya and said with a smile, "This is the Chairman Gu I was telling you about. See? I wasn’t lying, was I? Isn’t he just like a movie star? So handsome and stylish, right?"

"Mhm!"

"He’s so handsome!"

Yaya nodded emphatically, her head tilted slightly up to gaze at Gu Heng, her eyes sparkling with fascination.

"I think he’s even more handsome than a movie star."

Lili’s gaze lingered on Gu Heng as well, and she found it hard to look away.

The two women had traveled from different places to be here, and they’d originally been skeptical of what Yaya had told them. She had described Prince Heng as being so perfect that they couldn’t help but doubt her words.

But now, seeing Gu Heng in person, they realized Yaya hadn’t been lying at all.

The same Prince Heng who had been so commanding, so dashing, and so generous online was, in person, a gentle, handsome, and tall young man with a refined air.

How could such a perfect man not stir their hearts?

"Welcome. Glad you could make it."

Gu Heng offered a welcoming smile.

Compared to how they looked on their livestreams, both women’s real-life appearances were just as stunning.

Lili had delicate features and a very slender figure.

She wore a white short-sleeved shirt paired with retro denim shorts.

One had to admit, a nickname is never wrong.

Just by standing there looking at Gu Heng, she exuded a natural, bewitching charm.

’Worthy of being one of the Three Phantom Gods!’

’She really lives up to the title of Innate Charm Sacred Body!’

Gu Heng marveled to himself.

As for Yaya, standing beside Lili, she was probably under 160cm tall. She looked exceptionally petite, like a small figurine—a legal loli, so to speak.

Her face had a very innocent look: big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a cherry-small mouth. She had an astonishing amount of wavy, smoky-gray hair.

Her smile was that of a classic girl-next-door, the face of a first love. And yet, her livestreaming style was a complete mismatch for that innocent face. A song, the "Yaya March," had made her famous across the web, cementing her appeal in that stark contrast.

"Make yourselves comfortable."

"Help yourselves to whatever you want to drink."

After saying a few words to the two women, Gu Heng turned and returned to his seat.

A man of his stature had to have a certain air about him.

The welcome was basic courtesy. How the rest of the evening would go depended on whether they knew how to play their cards right.

The two women watched his retreating back, their eyes sparkling with interest.

"So? What do you think?"

"Isn’t Chairman Gu handsome?"

Once Gu Heng was gone, Yaya and Xi Xi dropped any pretense. They were old acquaintances with the two newcomers, and they were all in high spirits about meeting here.

"Wow!"

"How much have you had to drink?"

"You reek of alcohol!"

Lili asked Yaya.

Hearing this, Yaya immediately held up a single finger to Lili.

"One bottle?"

Lili guessed.

"Nonstop!"

Yaya shook her head. "Sigh, it’s a long, sad story."

"Tonight, Xi Xi and I came through our agents," Yaya explained. "We both have our designated clients to entertain, so we’re out of the running for Chairman Gu. But you two are different. You were last-minute additions, so you’re free agents."

"If you want to get to know him, you should go over and sit with him. If you’re not interested, then just enjoy yourselves. This yacht is worth over a hundred million, and there are tons of great spots for photos and videos. Feel free to shoot whatever you want."

Yaya spoke quickly, giving the two of them a brief rundown of the situation.

"Here’s a little secret."

"Chairman Gu is in a great mood tonight. Rumor is, he’s planning on hitting Level 75."

Xi Xi added in a low voice, "If you want a piece of the pie, you should go over, offer him a toast, and dance for him a bit. You’re guaranteed at least two hundred Carnivals."

"Well, since I’m already here, I can’t go back empty-handed!"

Yaya looked over at Gu Heng, her innocent face filled with keen interest. "Besides, I’m very curious about this Chairman Gu!"

"Then it’s up to you to make it happen."

"He’s got quite a crowd around him right now."

Yaya gestured with her lips. "The twin sisters, Yangyang, Bingbing, Xinxin... they’re all right there with Chairman Gu. It might be hard for you to fight your way through that crowd."

"Yaya, let’s team up!"

"Let’s get rid of the others first, then we can compete fairly!"

A fierce, competitive fire lit up in Lili’s eyes.

"Let’s do it!"

Yaya pumped her small fist. Then, under the regretful and envious eyes of Xi Xi and Yaya, she linked arms with Lili and walked toward Gu Heng...
