I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain – Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Two Birds with One Stone

“You’re quite big. If you can’t call someone else, you should probably go next.” Yan Guishan said to Crow.

“Brother, I was wrong. We have no grievances and no grudges. I just collect money to do things. If there is an injustice, there is a debt.”

It’s true that he was strong, probably as good as a dozen or even twenty men.

But Yan Guishan was different, completely different.

To that end, Crow didn’t even bother trying to muster up his courage.

“Trash, you call yourself a boss with that attitude?” Yan Guishan spat, ignoring Crow for now. Instead, he turned his attention to Shen Kang.

“And you, what did you say you wanted to do with me?”

“Misunderstanding, it’s just a misunderstanding. I like my wife, but she’s all yours! Yes, you can use her however you want. I wish both of you happiness from the bottom of my heart.”

Seeing that Crow could do nothing about Yan Guishan, Shen Kang cursed him in his heart as he immediately tried to bargain with Yan Guishan.

He was already tired of his wife anyway. Faced with such a situation, he immediately planned to sell his wife to protect himself.

As for the hat, he could only endure it.

But as soon as Yan Guishan heard the offer, rather than fall, his anger rose to dangerous heights.

He wasn’t a “real” man anymore, so as soon as Shen Kang sent Mrs. Shen out…

The flames of wrath raged within Yan Guishan’s heart.

He picked up a knife and walked…

Shen Kang’s screams soon echoed through the sky.

Now that he’d vented his anger, Yan Guishan felt much better, walking towards Crow.

However, it was at this moment when a few needles flew in from the dark.

Yan Guishan was quick to react, dodging most of the needles, but one of them made its way to the back of his hand.

He immediately pulled it out and tried to chase after the sniveling coward who dared to shoot at him from the dark.

¹Samael: PSA. Please do not pull out sharp objects or else you will bleed out.

²Kshn: But this doesn’t apply to small objects like needle, which are more dangerous to leave them struck as they can cause other illness if they are rusty or something.

But as soon as he put strength in his leg, he almost fell to the ground.

“Poison!” Yan Guishan’s face changed greatly.

[Ding! The Host successfully poisoned the protagonist, Yan Guishan, rendering him temporarily incapable of fighting.

• Receiving 300 Villain Points!

• Yan Guishan’s Protagonist Halo -10!

• Host’s Villain Halo +10!]

The drug he smeared on the needle was a medicine intended to make people lose their strength, a tranquilizer of sorts, it wasn’t fatal.

Wang Haoran wasn’t soft, he just needed to fatten the calf before the slaughter.

‘He should have about 200 Halo Points left, so he still has plenty of use.’

Yan Guishan himself poses no threat to him.

What did worry him, however, was that God of War…

Meanwhile, Crow saw the whole thing and vigilantly walked over to take a look. 

“Brother, if you want to leave, please do so. I admit that it was I, Crow, who ordered your arrest today. It was a mistake on my part.”

Yan Guishan wanted to, but he struggled to stand. His knees were barely an inch off the ground, but – almost immediately after – he ended up kneeling again.

“It turns out that you can’t use your strength.” Crow finally confirmed, raising his chest as he got rid of the cowardly facade.

“Crow, hurry… hurry up and cut him!” Shen Kang cried out in pain.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do it even if you don’t tell me.”

Crow picked up a knife from the ground and walked toward Yan Guishan with a grim expression.

Wang Haoran didn’t want to look at what happened next.

However, as soon as he’d left the factory, he received another system prompt.

He then took out his phone and called Ling Duanya.

After sneaking into the factory, he discovered that most of the goods were illegally smuggled.

Wang Haoran certainly wouldn’t mind having an enthusiastic helper aid him in taking over Crow’s territory.

The call was quickly connected, as Wang Haoran pretended to tremble:

“Sister, I…I want to make a report…”

— — —

[Evening, Black Peony Bar.]

Zuoqiu Chenyu sat in her office, dialing a number every once in a while. And yet each time, she was met with silence.

She grew anxious… for the number she dialed was none other than Wang Haoran’s.

Ever since she heard that Wang Haoran was headed to Crow’s territory, Zuoqiu Chenyu had been restless.

She wasn’t worried about Wang Haoran; she was worried about herself.

‘He’s not answering. Did something happen?’

Thanks to the latter’s poison, his death would mean hers as well.

“Sister Zuoqiu! Sister Zuoqiu!”

It was at that moment when an excited minion of hers burst into her office.

Zuoqiu Chenyu was already sitting on pins and needles, and the shouting obviously didn’t help. She was so angry that she picked up the ledger with one hand and threw it in the guy’s direction:

“What the hell are you yelling for?!”

“Sister Zuoqiu, good news, no, it’s great news!”

“What good news?” Zuoqiu Chenyu asked dully.

“Crow’s smuggling business was discovered, and all of his men were taken away. Crow won’t be a problem anymore!” he reported.

“What? They took over Crow’s smuggling business and arrested more than 100 of his men?! Just how big of a police force did they send?” Zuoqiu Chenyu couldn’t quite believe it.

“Someone broke into the Crow’s headquarters and severely injured most of his men, breaking all of their hands and feet in the process. The moment the police arrived, they couldn’t even run!”

“Who did this?” Zuoqiu Chenyu hurriedly asked.

“We don’t know.” He shook his head.

‘Could it be?!’ Zuoqiu Chenyu thought.

This afternoon, Wang Haoran said he’d deal with Crow. And now, this evening, she hears news about Crow’s den being taken over. It was too much of a coincidence!

Buzz!

The phone on the desk vibrated.

Zuoqiu Chenyu quickly answered the phone with a hint of joy:

“I’ve been trying to get through to you for so long; I thought you had an accident!”

[“I was busy, so I didn’t have time to answer the phone.”]

Wang Haoran wore a sleeping robe, lying on the big bed of a hotel’s presidential suite, replying lazily.

“The thing about Crow… did you do it?” Zuoqiu Chenyu asked.

[“And if I did?”] Wang Haoran asked back.

“It seems that I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to be so powerful that you can actually deal with hundreds of people alone.” Zuoqiu Chenyu was amazed.

[Ding! The heroine, Zuoqiu Chenyu, has experienced an increase in her favorability toward the Host by 10.

• The current total favorability is 30 (Very Friendly).]

[Ding! The Host affects the plot direction.

• Receiving 300 Villain Points!]

Wang Haoran laughed dryly at those words.

‘It seems Zuoqio Chenyu’s information is incomplete. She thinks I’m the one who dealt with Crow’s minions when all I did was pull the strings.’

‘But it’s not like there’s anything wrong with extra credit…’

[“Now that you know how good I am, have you fallen in love with me yet?”]

“Falling in love with you? You’re clearly in over your head.” Zuoqiu Chenyu responded with her signature cold older sister voice.

With a favorability rating of just 30, Wang Haoran certainly wasn’t surprised.

At that moment, the sound of water in the suite’s shower room stopped. Since the person inside had finished washing up, Wang Haoran didn’t want to waste any more time on Zuoqiu Chenyu:

[“You lost the bet, remember to prepare the red wine for my next visit.”]

Beep!

He hung up as soon as he’d finished speaking.

As she thought of the bet she made with Wang Haoran, she suddenly felt a complex series of emotions: sadness, helplessness… and a bit of shyness.
