The Kingdom Lord's Wrath

Two weeks later, on Linghu Island, in the reception room.

The virtual projection flickered, and Liu Hui's figure appeared.

He usually had a somewhat carefree and playful demeanor, but now he looked terrified, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat that trickled down his cheeks, even soaking his crisp suit.

He stood there, his hands clenching involuntarily, his voice trembling slightly. "Brother Ping —that was terrifying! I almost got myself killed this time!"

Tang Ping sat in the main seat, his fingertips lightly tapping the table.

"Although I rejected Luo Yanchang's proposal for cooperation on the spot, I thought it was better to avoid trouble and didn't dare to offend anyone, so I warmly greeted him and had a cup of tea with him." Liu Hui swallowed and recalled the scene with lingering fear.

"But who knew that as soon as I saw him off at the company gate, the Luo Family's security team rushed over, pinned him to the ground, and dragged him away in front of all the employees!"

Later I found out that he was going to be sentenced to death!

"And there's something even more terrifying!" Liu Hui's voice suddenly rose, his eyes filled with terror. "The clansmen say that everyone involved in the 'human resources redistribution' business, including Luo Yanchang, has been arrested! Even a genius like Luo Family Luo Yanchang is rumored to be sent to a mining planet to mine for a hundred years!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously touched his leg and said with a bitter face, "I've worked for you all these years, and although I've had a glamorous life, I've also offended a lot of people. When I heard the news, my legs went weak and my heart kept pounding."

I really can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't listened to you and had actually agreed to that deal. Would I be stuck mining now? If I went bankrupt, would my wife and kids have a good ending?"

Looking at his still-shaken expression, Tang Ping said in a deep voice, "Brother Hui, you should understand that the Luo Clan, Earth, and even the entire Milky Way Galaxy are all developing in a stronger direction. This torrent is overwhelming, and no one can stay out of it."

"In this torrent, some people, through their own efforts or a bit of luck, stand at the forefront. The scenery at the forefront is infinitely glamorous, infinitely tempting, and infinitely risky; it all depends on how you manage it."

He paused, "The future is far less clear than looking at the past. Confusion and bewilderment linger in everyone's heart, and how far you can ultimately go depends on your own choices."

Liu Hui quickly wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, bent down slightly, and forced a simple, honest smile, "Brother Ping, I'm not very bright, I don't really understand all those big principles you're talking about, and my eyesight isn't good either, I can't see through all the intricacies. Could you explain it to me more clearly? I'll definitely listen to you!"

Tang Ping couldn't help but chuckle at his expression, tapping him with his fingertip. "It's okay if you're a little unclear about other things, and you can learn the ways of business slowly. But there's one thing you must understand: the bottom line of being a decent human being."

"As long as you don't do anything immoral or violate the Luo Family's rules, no one can touch you." He spoke with certainty, his confidence evident.

Liu Hui was his man, a fact that both Xu Xin and Luo Feng knew. For the sake of Earth's stability, he gave up the opportunity to join the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company and remained in the Ganwu Secret Realm to cultivate in silence.

This effort is enough to make the Luo Family more tolerant when Liu Hui makes minor mistakes.

Liu Hui nodded, seemingly understanding, then frowned, his tone tinged with anger. "But Brother Ping, I just don't understand! This 'human resources redistribution' business was clearly mostly Luo Yanchang's idea, so why did the family only give them a small punishment, but go to such lengths to punish the subordinates who carried it out?"

I heard that someone reported the matter to the Old Patriarch, and in the end, it was Madam Xu Xin who made the final decision on the punishment. This is just too unfair!

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping chuckled again, tapped him lightly with his finger, and said with a hint of warning, "Never say anything that might be detrimental to family unity again!"

Liu Hui quickly suppressed his anger and put on a fawning smile, "I know, I know! I only dared to complain to you a little. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't say a word!"

He changed the subject, his expression turning serious, "By the way, Brother Ping, you were right when you told me to stay away from the Yaohai Family!"

They've been contacting me a lot lately, constantly inviting me to dinner alone, and subtly trying to find out about Miss Luo Xiaoyu, asking where she usually practices and what she likes.

Tang Ping's eyes instantly turned cold. "Tell them whatever they ask. You can reveal a little about our arduous cultivation in the Ganwu Secret Realm, so they know we're not interested in anything else. Be careful yourself, protect yourself, and don't meet with them alone."

"I understand!" Liu Hui nodded emphatically, the fear on his face gradually fading, replaced by a more solemn expression. "Brother Ping, I'm sorry. I was confused before and almost made a big mistake. I'll definitely be more careful in the future!"

The light from the virtual projection gradually dimmed, and Liu Hui's figure disappeared from the reception room.

Tang Ping sat there, gently shook his head, and murmured, "Fairness? Ha!"

He stood up, no longer dwelling on these trivial matters.

For him, only by increasing his strength can he establish himself in this universe. This time, he will focus on cultivation, break through to the peak of the Universe Level, and then go to the Immortal Monument Forest to comprehend the laws.

The deepest part of the Ganwu Secret Realm.

The Divine Temple stands silently, its towering structure reaching over a thousand feet high. The pillars are carved with the history of the rise and fall of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom over billions of years. This is the true abode of the ruler of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, a place where ordinary immortals are not even qualified to approach.

At this moment, however, this Divine Temple, which symbolizes supreme power, exudes a sense of desolation. The temple is vast and empty, with only a majestic figure sitting on the purple-gold throne in the center, which is about a hundred meters high.

Ganwu Kingdom Lord!

His nearly four-meter height made him appear upright even while sitting on the throne. His dark purple robes draped down on both sides of the throne, and the Flowing Light on the fabric rose and fell slightly with his breath.

"Whoosh~"

The Ganwu Kingdom Lord waved his hand, and a virtual screen appeared out of thin air in front of him. A deep green light shone on his bronze face, revealing his sorrowful expression. The rapidly falling numbers on the screen seemed to be mocking him.

"These financial scumbags!" a low curse escaped his lips.

In his early years, he died three times in search of treasure, each resurrection costing astronomical resources, leaving him heavily in debt. He could postpone paying his clan's debts, but he couldn't delay paying his friends' debts. After all, he was an ancient monster who had lived for countless billions of years, and he still had to save face.

But because of his heavy debts, he was forbidden by his tribe from venturing out and could only stay in the Divine Temple, pondering various ways to make money.

A while ago, the Smart Sprite recommended the Luo Family's stock market to him, saying things like, "It has great potential, is currently undervalued, and you can make a profit by buying in."

Although this amount of money is nothing to him, just like some millionaires would still bend down and pick up a ten-yuan note on the street, let alone someone like him who is bankrupt.

So he poured a lot of money into the Hunyuan, hoping to earn some pocket money. But what happened? Ever since he bought the Luo Family's stock, he's never seen a single red increase. Every day it's been a sea of green, like a piece of flesh being cut from his heart.

"If it weren't for saving face, I would really like to take my sword and storm into those lousy houses and kill them all!" The Ganwu Kingdom Lord hates those financial dogs the most; Tiantian do is sit at home and swindle money from the poor.

The next moment, a respectful voice came from outside the Divine Temple, interrupting his anger. "Reporting to Your Majesty, Wind-Thunder Venerable has entered the secret realm." It was Thirteen who spoke.

Upon hearing the words "Wind-Thunder Venerable," the Ganwu Kingdom Lord's face instantly fell, and his previously uncontrollable rage vanished in an instant.

He rubbed his throbbing temples. "Damn it—this girl is definitely here to ask for money again."
