Morning, in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel.
Kyle "Madman" Lee jumped barefoot off the king-sized bed. On the bed, five beautiful young girls lay sprawled, not a stitch of clothing on them.
But there wasn't the slightest trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
Everyone assumed he was hot-tempered and depravedly lustful.
Actually, the hot temper was just an act. As for his lust, that was tied to a cultivation art he practiced.
When he first joined the special-operations unit, he had barely reached Innate First Layer. On a mission, he stumbled into a hidden valley and found a long-dead corpse—with a sheet of cowhide beside it.
On that cowhide was a manual for a sinister art called the Profound Yin Art.
It was a demonic technique. To cultivate it, he had to keep seizing the primordial yin of virginal girls to temper himself.
On a mission in South Viet, he raped a local girl and stole her primordial yin. After refining that power, he broke through the bottleneck that had held him back for ages and advanced straight to Innate Second Layer.
After tasting the benefits of this art, he was hooked—completely addicted.
Because of this, in just two short years, his cultivation has advanced rapidly, and now he’s reached the peak of Innate Fourth Layer.
Last night, after draining the primordial yin of five young girls, his cultivation was already on the verge of a breakthrough. If he could claim a few more, he’d likely step into Innate Fifth Layer.
After a quick wash, Madman Lee stepped out of his room to find Howard Su waiting respectfully outside.
“Were you satisfied last night, Young Master Lee?” Howard Su asked with a smile.
“Not bad.” Madman Lee patted Howard’s shoulder.
An hour later, a Rolls-Royce slowly rolled into Crystal Villa Estate and stopped in front of the largest villa.
Steven Su and his wife had been waiting at the villa gate for quite some time.
He was only the head of a collateral branch of the Su Family, while Howard was the son of the main branch’s patriarch. On top of that, Howard had specifically instructed him by phone to be extremely respectful—because a VIP from Flame City was coming along.
He’d always wanted to expand his business empire but never found the right opportunity. If he could get in good with a VIP from Flame City...
The moment the car stopped, before Steven Su could step forward, Howard Su jumped out of the driver’s seat and opened the rear door.
Seeing this, Steven Su’s eyes narrowed. Howard Su was actually willing to open the car door for someone—this guest must be even more important than he’d imagined.
A tall figure stepped out of the car, and a powerful aura washed over Steven, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Greetings, Young Master Su."
Steven Su quickly bowed to Howard Su.
"No need to be so formal, Uncle Steven. By seniority, I should be calling you uncle." Howard Su said with a cheerful grin.
Steven Su hurriedly insisted he didn’t dare accept such respect.
Then Howard pointed at Madman Lee. "Uncle Steven, this is Kyle ‘Madman’ Lee from the Lee Family in Flame City."
Boom!
In that instant, Steven Su’s mind exploded. The words ‘Lee Family of Flame City’ hit him like a thunderbolt.
The Lee Family—one of the Ten Great Clans of China—was leagues above the main Su branch. No wonder Howard was willing to open the car door for him. If it were Steven, he’d gladly polish the man’s shoes, let alone open the door.
"Steven Su greets Young Master Lee!"
"You may rise," Madman Lee said coolly.
Led by Steven Su, the group entered the villa’s grand hall.
"Uncle Steven, Young Master Lee is here in Riverstone City to handle some business and would like to stay at your place. Is that convenient?" Howard Su asked with a smile.
"Convenient? It’s more than convenient—it’s an honor!" Steven Su had been worrying about not having a chance to get close to Young Master Lee, and now the man wanted to stay under his roof. He was ecstatic.
"By the way, where’s Xiaoyou?" Howard Su continued, winking at Steven Su.
Steven Su instantly understood Howard’s hint. Previously, he’d been trying to set his daughter up with Andy Jin from Century Motors.
But with Howard’s cue, he tossed Andy Jin aside—compared to someone from the Lee Family, Andy was nothing.
He quickly said, "Young Master Lee, Young Master Su, my daughter is still at school. I’ll call her home right away!"
"Come here, Steven," Howard Su beckoned, pulling Steven aside and whispering, "This is your chance, so don’t mess it up. Young Master Lee isn’t just any Lee clansman—he’s a core disciple. If he takes a liking to Xiaoyou and gives you a little support, you’ll soar in Riverstone City!"
Hearing that Young Master Lee was a core disciple, Steven Su trembled with excitement. If he got the Lee Family’s backing—and even became in-laws—he’d be able to walk sideways in Riverstone City.
"Thank you, Young Master Su. I understand."
Howard Su patted Steven’s shoulder and returned to the sofa, while Steven hurried off to make a phone call.
The call went through quickly. Su Xiaoyou’s impatient voice came from the other end: "Dad, I’m still in class. What do you want?"
Lately, because he’d been trying to push her toward Andy Jin, Su Xiaoyou had been pretty fed up with him.
Thinking quickly, he said, "Xiaoyou, it was my fault before. Don’t worry—I won’t try to set you up with Andy Jin again."
"Really?" Su Xiaoyou’s voice brightened.
"Of course it’s true. Would I lie to you? Anyway, we have guests at home—come back right away. I’ll call your teacher to arrange leave."
On the other end, Su Xiaoyou was happy at first to hear her dad wouldn’t force her anymore. But as soon as he told her to come home, she grew suspicious. She deliberately agreed, "Okay, Dad, I’ll come back. By the way, who’s visiting? Why do I need to come home?"
Hearing his daughter agree, Steven Su didn’t suspect anything and lowered his voice, "Someone big. Bigger than you can imagine. Make sure you behave when you get home."
Su Xiaoyou’s suspicion deepened. "Dad, can you at least tell me which big shot is coming?"
"Enough questions—just come home," Steven Su urged.
After hanging up, a look of doubt flashed across Su Xiaoyou’s pretty face. She knew her dad too well. If he’d stopped pushing her toward Andy Jin, he must’ve found a new target to cozy up to.
Now, with him so desperate to get her home, he was probably planning to introduce her to this so-called ‘big shot.’
Thinking of this made her even more frustrated. She clenched her small fists. "Stupid dad, I won’t let you get your way!"
But after hanging up, Steven Su started to feel uneasy. Xiaoyou was acting far too obedient today—not at all like herself.
So he called for his driver and ordered him to take two bodyguards to the school and bring Su Xiaoyou home—by force if necessary.
