Codex of Ascension -
Damian Zeng looked conflicted as he watched the two of them leave, unsure what to say. Darren Yang had just promised to find him a beautiful fiancée, but now he was chasing after girls himself—and the pretty girl Darren took away was supposed to be the one introduced to Damian!
Shawn Young hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, but after thinking about it, he understood Darren Yang’s feelings. After all, Dawn Yuan was his first woman, and it’s hard to let go of that emotional attachment. If it were him, he’d never hand over his woman either—unless he had the ability to keep her.
As for Darren Yang, he’s basically an underworld heir, not as capable as Shawn Young. If he goes against his father’s wishes or the gang’s rules, he’s in for a world of trouble. That’s why there’s a huge gap between him and Shawn—and that gap is all about strength. Like that famous saying: when you have enough power, you can rewrite all the rules and make your own!
Seeing Damian Zeng standing there, dazed and lost, Shawn Young walked over and said, "Uh—don’t worry, that girl will definitely be yours. Darren Yang is just trying to talk some sense into her! Once they figure things out, they’ll come back—"
"Talk some sense into her? Yeah, right—everyone knows what they’re really up to! I may be a bit dumb, but I’m not an idiot—Top Dog said he’d let me have that girl as my wife, and now he’s taking her to hook up! He’s basically slapping a green hat on me! This is just—just too much!" Damian Zeng complained, torn between fear and frustration, unable to hold back his grumbling.
"Uh—well, I guess they have their reasons!" Shawn Young instinctively sided with Darren Yang, because if it were him, he’d never compromise like that either. But Darren’s situation was special, and Dawn Yuan was willing to go along with it.
"Reasons! I have my own damn reasons—who the hell cares about me!? You’re all just ganging up on me, boo hoo—" Damian Zeng whined, feeling utterly wronged and almost bursting into tears.
"Uh—I, I didn’t mean it like that—sigh—" Shawn Young had no idea how to comfort Damian Zeng, and honestly didn’t like him much anyway. But Darren Yang and Dawn Yuan were just too much, and Shawn couldn’t stop them, so he just shook his head and sighed, not knowing what else to do.
"Boss Shawn, that woman’s really something—not much worse than Sylvia Snow. I actually liked her a lot, and Top Dog promised she’d be mine. Now he’s gone back on his word and snatched her away—me, Damian Zeng, I might be useless, but I don’t want to work with you guys anymore!" Damian suddenly blurted out.
"What? What did you say?!" Shawn Young’s eyes widened in surprise. He hadn’t expected Damian Zeng to be so upset, and if Damian refused to cooperate, his whole plan would fall apart. The only way left would be to turn hostile and snatch the girl himself!
Damian Zeng felt Shawn Young’s cold stare and remembered his terrifying methods. Instantly, Damian’s scalp tingled and his legs went weak. He quickly stammered, "Boss Shawn—I’m just unhappy with Top Dog, I—I wouldn’t dare fight you for Sylvia Snow, don’t worry!"
"Hmph—you don’t have what it takes to fight me for Sylvia Snow. I get your beef with Darren Yang, but let me warn you: I came here for Sylvia Snow tonight, and nothing will stop me! Anyone who tries to block me is my enemy!" Shawn Young said coldly.
Feeling Shawn Young’s murderous intent, Damian Zeng started sweating bullets. He stammered, "Ah—no, no, Boss Shawn, I wouldn’t dare, not in a million years!"
"Hmph—good! Whatever’s going on between you and Darren Yang, I’m not getting involved. But don’t say I didn’t warn you—once I find Sylvia Snow, I’m taking her with me! If you or your people try to stop me, don’t blame me for turning nasty—" Shawn Young warned again.
"Got it! Got it—" Damian Zeng agreed in a trembling voice, not daring to resist at all.
Just then, a woman stepped out from the crowd and walked straight toward Shawn Young. He looked up, startled, then suddenly excited—because it was none other than Yvette Liu, whom he hadn’t seen in ages!
"Hehe—Shawn, I finally found you here! I knew you’d show up!!" Yvette Liu squealed, throwing herself at him and snuggling up to his arm.
Yvette Liu wore a black, low-cut evening gown, showing off her fair, delicate back. Her proud 6D assets were so voluptuous and sexy that she outshone nearly every other woman present. She didn’t hesitate to rub those curves against Shawn Young’s arm—she was truly the Goddess of Curves, and her playful teasing made all the guys around drool with envy.
Especially Damian Zeng, who glanced at Yvette Liu’s baby face and those impossibly deep curves, his eyes glazed over and he muttered, "Whoa—so big, so round! Absolute top tier!"
Yvette Liu overheard Damian and spun around, snapping, "You pervy fatty, what are you staring at! Hmph! These curves are big and round, but they’re not yours—they’re Shawn’s! If you’ve got the guts, try stealing me from him. You’ll just drool yourself to death—"
"Uh—I, I—wouldn’t dare—wouldn’t dare—" Damian Zeng quickly waved his hands.
"Knew you wouldn’t! I don’t even know you, so scram and stop getting in the way! Don’t bother me while I’m flirting with Shawn. If you peek at something you shouldn’t, I’ll have Shawn send you flying!" Yvette glared fiercely, her wild style on full display.
"Uh—Yvette, don’t get too worked up. Give him a little face—he’s the main guy tonight, after all. We’ve already stolen the spotlight! Hehe—" Shawn whispered to Yvette.
"What? This fatty’s the legendary Hong Kong playboy Damian Zeng?! With that attitude? So disappointing. Can’t believe Uncle Su wants Sylvia to marry this guy! I—I’m speechless—" Yvette exclaimed, not caring how much her words stung Damian, who looked utterly crushed.
"Uh—this marriage was just his wishful thinking. But now he’s promised not to fight me for Sylvia, so let’s not rub it in. He’s actually pretty pitiful—" Shawn said, feeling a little sorry for Damian after seeing his miserable expression.
"Oh—that’s better. Then Shawn, come play with me for a while! We’ll go find Sylvia later—" Yvette cooed, shaking Shawn’s arm, her pretty face flushed with excitement.
