"What do you mean, 'younger sister'?!"
Huang Lu finally showed some emotion. Her expression changed in an instant as she glared at Xu Yi.
The three of them, including Li Wen, were utterly bewildered.
It was the first time they'd seen Miss Huang get so worked up.
The three of them: Why did they suddenly have a bad feeling about this?
Xu Yi took out the broken Jade Pendant. Though a long time had passed, it still gleamed with a lustrous sheen.
It could only have looked like that if it had been worn close to the skin for a long time.
The system was a greedy merchant, but it really was thoughtful.
"This is...!"

Huang Lu's pupils contracted sharply.
Then, heedless of the people around her, she grabbed Xu Yi by the collar.
"Where did you get this Jade Pendant? Tell me!"
A deep sadness spread across Xu Yi's face. "When we parted, my little sister smashed her Jade Pendant in half and gave me a piece."
Huang Lu swayed for a moment at his words.
Then, as if she'd thought of something, she immediately pulled up Xu Yi's sleeve.
A scar came into view.

"Brother..."
"You're my brother!"
"Brother, I finally found you."
Plip, plip~
Tears fell one by one onto the scar on Xu Yi's wrist.
Xu Yi pretended not to hear her and continued speaking to himself. "I'm no good as an older brother. I never managed to find her.
Now that I'm about to die, she's the only one I can't stop worrying about."
Guilt Points +1000
The three men, still watching the show, suddenly shivered.
"Little sister, where did you go? Why couldn't your brother find you? Did you think your brother was too poor and hide from me on purpose?"
Guilt Points +1000
There was no chance of finding her in this life. He could only look for her in the next.
But Miss Huang was beautiful and kind. She'd help me keep looking for you.
Guilt Points +1000
Listening to Xu Yi's monologue, Huang Lu's guilt rose higher than a mountain.
"Brother, it's me. I'm your little sister."

The four of them looked utterly confused and shocked.
"What the hell? He said a few words, and now the Young Miss of Magic City is his sister?"
Xu Yi gave a bitter smile. "Miss Huang, don't tease me. My sister's name is Huang Tian."
"I changed my name later... If you don't believe me, look at this."
As she spoke, Huang Lu quickly took out the other half of the Jade Pendant.
The two pieces fit together, forming a complete design.
Huang Lu wept with joy.
"Little sister, you really are my little sister!" Xu Yi cried out in delight.
"Little sister, I finally found you."
Ji Bowen: Stop reuniting already... Could you two at least spare a thought for the three of us?
Xu Yi's laughter abruptly stopped.
"Little sister, I'm so glad I found you before I die. I can die without regrets."
Huang Lu's expression turned cold, her icy gaze seeming ready to kill.
"Brother, with me here, no one dares lay a hand on you."
Then she turned her head. "So you're the ones who threatened to kill my brother?"
"N-no... We were just arguing and making threats. We'd never actually do it."
"Who told you to threaten my brother?"

What the hell...
The three of them were completely dumbfounded.
How the hell were we supposed to know he was your brother?
We'd pushed him to the brink, and now the kid had turned the tables on us.
Lucky bastard!
Brothers, let's get out of here~
The three had barely reached the door when Huang Lu's bodyguards blocked their way.
They looked flustered, but tried to keep calm.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
"You're not allowed to leave! For Xu Yi's safety, you'd better stay here."
"Murder is against the law. Even if you're the Young Miss of Magic City, you can't act above the law."
"I don't care! You wanted to kill Xu Yi, so I'll kill you first."
The three of them: "..."
Silence fell over the room~
The three of them panicked completely, breaking into a cold sweat.
But Huang Lu had already taken out a knife.
Most people only made threats. She really drew a knife and went for it.
"Little sis-ter!"
Xu Yi panicked too and hurried to stop her.
He hadn't expected his little sister to be so fierce.
"Murder is against the law. We're not doing that."
"So we're just going to let them go? What if they try to hurt you again?"
Thud~
The three men no longer cared about the dignity of company presidents. They dropped to their knees in front of Huang Lu.
"We won't do it again!"
"Who would dare kill the Young Miss's brother?"
"We were blind just now. We know we were wrong."
Seeing Huang Lu's expression soften a little, Xu Yi slowly took the knife from her hand.
"Brother, I'll listen to you. How should we punish them?"
Xu Yi was overwhelmed with emotion.
So this was what having connections meant.
The enemies Uncle Li had been powerless to deal with were now at Huang Lu's mercy.
Xu Yi turned to Li Wen. "Uncle Li, what should we do with them?"
"Uncle Li..."
"Uncle Li?!"
Li Wen came back to his senses. In just a few dozen seconds, he'd already worked out a solution.
"Break up their three companies, then have Furun Group acquire them bit by bit."
Shen Shi shouted furiously, "Li, don't push it! If you take our companies, how are we supposed to live? You might as well just kill us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Lu took back the knife.
Shen Shi: "..."
Gu Feng cast a pleading look at Huang Lu. "Miss, is there some kind of compromise? We can't bear a punishment like that."
Huang Lu looked at Xu Yi. "Brother, what do you think?"
Xu Yi: "I'll go with Uncle Li."
Li Wen: "I'll defer to Miss Huang."
The three of them: Are you playing pass the handkerchief?
Xu Yi said firmly, "Do what Uncle Li said. Take over their companies so they won't have the means to retaliate against me."
Ji Bowen was so furious he nearly spat blood. "You little brat, you're so greedy! You're still so young, yet you're even more ruthless than Li Wen."
A cold glint flashed in Huang Lu's eyes. "You still dare insult my brother? Open your mouth."
The bodyguards below carried out the order without expression.
Smack, smack, smack~
The meeting room rang with the sharp sound of slaps.
The blows were vicious, and two gold teeth were knocked out.
The other two watched, too frightened to make a sound.
"I'm informing your three families, not negotiating. Since my brother has made his decision, you have no choice. You can hand over your companies willingly, or Magic City can step in.
It's your choice."
Pain and reluctance shone in the three men's eyes, but with the slap so close at hand, they could only nod heartbrokenly.
Damn it! We were so close!
Why the hell does this guy keep finding relatives every day?
Wasn't he an orphan? How does he have more relatives than I do?
At that moment, the three men held enough resentment toward Xu Yi to keep ten Evil Sword Immortals alive.
"Miss, can we leave now?"
"You stay."
Xu Yi pointed at Ji Bowen.
"Little sister, we have him to thank for being reunited today. It's thanks to him that he brought me here."
Ji Bowen was so moved he nearly cried.
He knew how to repay kindness. What a good kid.
I was wrong about you just now...

"If he hadn't had his men point guns at the backs of our heads and bring us here, we definitely wouldn't have come.
At least the guns didn't go off. Otherwise, I never would've gotten to see you."
Huang Lu's brows shot up, and she couldn't stop herself from drawing her knife again.
"So you really did want to kill my brother! Beat him!"
