Half-Mountain Villa, underground study.
Sun Xiaochuan listened to the reports pouring in from his men. The smile on his face grew more triumphant, more unhinged.
Three thousand henchmen had assembled!
Experts from every quarter were arriving!

"Yue Xiaofei... Jin Dapao..."
Sun Xiaochuan lifted a glass of red wine and swirled it gently. Beneath the light, the scarlet liquid looked like fresh blood.
"Let's see what you've got to fight me with in three days!"

"Spoken like a foolish woman!"
Sun Xiaochuan snorted and cut her off.
"It's no longer a question of whether we want to make a scene!"
"That Yue bastard is the one who put a knife to our throats!"
"If we don't kill him, we're the ones who die!"
Sun Xiaochuan drained his wine in one gulp. A deranged ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
He walked up to Liu Ruyan, gripped her chin, and smiled coldly.
"Didn't you say that Yue bastard cares deeply about his comrade Chen Ze?"
"Then I'll show him what happens when someone crosses Sun Xiaochuan!"
"Pass on my orders!"
"In three days, at the funeral, I don't just want Yue Xiaofei chopped into mincemeat!"
"I also want..."
Sun Xiaochuan dropped his voice to a near whisper, but it was thick with malice that made her skin crawl.
"Dig up his brother's grave in front of everyone! Scatter his ashes!"
"I won't let Chen Ze rest in peace, even in death! He'll be a wandering ghost, denied peace
