NOVEL NEXT Chapter 303: 303
Incredible!
It was just too incredible!
Lu Jianjia's reaction shocked everyone present, leaving them stupefied, their faces etched with disbelief.
And what had she just said?
She said she was going to transfer ten billion in shares of the Luyang Financial Consortium to this man?
Impossible!
How could such a thing happen?
That was ten billion!
All the onlookers were shaken, staring at Qin Heng as if they had seen a ghost.
Lu Jianjia's words had been too much of a shock.
Ten billion!
Never mind ten billion!
Even one billion was more money than the vast majority of people could earn in a lifetime!
What did ten billion even mean?
Among ordinary people, a monthly income of ten thousand was considered decent.
Even adding up miscellaneous benefits, year-end bonuses, performance commissions, and the like, one might make two hundred thousand a year at most.
If someone made two hundred thousand a year, how long would it take to earn ten billion?
Fifty thousand years!
You read that right!
Yes!
Fifty thousand years!
That's right!
Fifty thousand years!
Even high-income earners among ordinary people would need fifty thousand years to earn ten billion!
What kind of concept was fifty thousand years?
According to conventional archaeological divisions, fifty thousand years ago was still the Stone Age!
A barbaric era!
An era devoid of civilization!
The time it would take one person to earn ten billion spanned fifty thousand years of human history!
It was enough time to witness the rise and fall of countless dynasties, the shifts in civilizations, the vast transformations where seas turned into mulberry fields!
Oh, my God!
It was terrifying!
And now, Lu Jianjia actually wanted to directly transfer this ten billion to this man!
This single gift represented an achievement that would take an ordinary person fifty thousand years to attain!
Horrifying!
It was truly horrifying!
Unfathomable!
Lu Chongtian trembled with a mixture of anger, extreme horror, and disbelief as he stared at Lu Jianjia and roared, "You're insane! You've truly gone insane! That's the foundation of our Lu family! And you want to hand it over to him? Take me to Dad! I need to see him! See him!"
BANG!!
Lu Jianjia kicked Lu Chongtian to the ground, her beautiful face flushed with anger as she glared at him. "Do you want to drag our entire family to its ruin? Shut up!"
She knew all too well how strong Qin Heng was. That might of his, akin to that of Immortal Gods, was beyond any mortal's imagination. The Lu family, in the eyes of such a being, might not even count as an ant! A mere exhale could wipe the Lu family out in an instant! He must not be provoked! Absolutely not provoked! And now Lu Chongtian, still so arrogantly unaware of the true danger, is simply courting death!
"Sis! You hit me! You actually hit me because of this guy?!" Lu Chongtian looked at Lu Jianjia in utter disbelief, as if he had suffered a massive blow. He roared himself hoarse, "You've never hit me before!"
"That's because you've never made a fatal mistake before!" Lu Jianjia said gravely. "Kneel immediately and beg Mr. Qin for forgiveness. Otherwise, even if I don't deal with you, Dad will!"
The surrounding crowd grew even more curious, their gazes fixed on Qin Heng with surprise and suspicion.
This ordinary-looking young man... what on earth is his identity? To actually scare someone with a family fortune of tens of billions to this extent! It's truly incredible!
"Well, well, well! Why is Miss Lu so fiery?" Just then, a frivolous voice suddenly piped up, and a young man in sportswear walked over.
This young man looked to be eighteen or nineteen, handsome with a tall, slender figure—the type who'd be considered a campus heartthrob. He was holding a wine bottle, his eyes glazed and his walk unsteady; he was clearly a bit drunk.
"Young Master Wang He! Young Master Wang He, save me!" Upon seeing the young man, Lu Chongtian shrieked as if he'd found a lifeline, screaming frantically.
He even scrambled desperately to the young man's side, clung to his thigh, and wailed, "Young Master Wang He, I beg you, uphold justice! There's a guy here who wants to seize our family's ten billion in assets!"
As he spoke, he actually burst into tears, wailing pitifully.
"What! Chongtian, someone's bullying you?!" Wang He erupted in fury. CRASH! He slammed the wine bottle in his hand to the ground and roared, "Who the fuck dares to bully my brother? I'll destroy him! This is Tianhai, and I, Wang He, am from the Wangs!"
The Wangs! He's actually from the Wangs! The Wangs, one of the four great families of Tianhai!
The surrounding crowd was stunned; some even stumbled back a few steps in fear, not daring to get close to Wang He.
The Wangs are one of the four great families in Tianhai! Their power is immense! In Tianhai, anyone who offends the Wangs meets a terrible end!
At that moment, people looked at Qin Heng with a hint of pity.
Looks like this kid is finished! We don't know his background, how he managed to scare them so badly, but now that someone from the Wangs is here and clearly opposing him... No one can defy the will of the Wangs. Unless they're also from one of the four great families—that's the consensus in Tianhai.
Could this kid be from one of the four great families? Obviously not. People from the four great families are so distinguished; even members of their ordinary collateral branches are prominent figures in Tianhai's high society. How could one of them be wearing such cheap, common clothes?
When Lu Jianjia heard Wang He was actually from the Wangs, her expression flickered. She knew full well the kind of power the Wangs held in Tianhai; they were not to be trifled with. If it were any other time, she might have backed down. But now, she had to protect Qin Heng's dignity—he was a powerhouse capable of easily crushing an Innate Grandmaster! Even the Wangs couldn't stand in her way!
"Chongtian! Get over here this instant! Kneel and apologize to Mr. Qin!" Lu Jianjia's expression remained firm, her voice sharp as she commanded Lu Chongtian.
The surrounding crowd was even more astounded.
"Holy hell! What's happening? That's someone from the Wangs, and she's not afraid?!"
"Looks like this kid's identity is more than meets the eye! This is unbelievable, truly shocking!"
"Are there people in Tianhai with even higher status than the Wangs?!"
A buzz of discussion rippled through the onlookers.
"Lu Jianjia! Are you blind?! This is Wang He, my brother! Wang He! From the Wangs!" Lu Chongtian stared at Lu Jianjia incredulously, almost thinking he had misheard. He never imagined Lu Jianjia would dare to ignore someone from the Wangs!
"Miss Lu, it seems you have little regard for me, Wang He!" Wang He's face instantly darkened. He walked slowly towards Lu Jianjia, his voice low and menacing. "Though I'm not from the direct Legitimate Line of the Wangs, I'm still in the upper echelons of the collateral branches. I might even be promoted to the Legitimate Line this year. And you dare to ignore me?! I'll make you understand the price of disrespecting the Wangs!"
"You can represent the Wangs?" Qin Heng suddenly spoke, his tone indifferent. "Even Wang Quan wouldn't dare claim that."
"This—this voice?!" Wang He started at the sound of Qin Heng's voice. A shiver ran down his spine, and the alcohol seemed to vanish instantly. His previously hazy eyes cleared. When he focused on Qin Heng's face, he froze solid.
His limbs turned to ice, a chill seeping into his very bones!
"Young Master Wang He! Did you hear him?! This brat, he's mocking you! He's mocking the Wangs!" Lu Chongtian yelled gleefully. "Young Master Wang He, help me! Help me finish him off!"
Cold sweat slicked Wang He's skin; he was terrified out of his wits. Hearing Lu Chongtian's shouts at this moment, a murderous rage ignited within him—directed at Lu Chongtian!
"I'll fucking kill *you* first!!"
