Return of the Celestial King

The moment he saw Qin Tuo, an uncontrollable rage ignited in Zhao Peng’s heart.

He had sworn countless times in the dead of night to tear Qin Tuo limb from limb, the only way to vent the frustration that had been building inside him.

”Qin Tuo, you son of a bitch! You actually dare to come here!”

Zhao Peng’s voice was hoarse, his eyes glinting with venomous hatred.

Xu Min also sneered, taunting him.

”Qin Tuo, what right does an ex-con like you have to set foot in this company? Believe it or not, I’ll call security right now and have you beaten and thrown out!”

Seeing Xu Min and Zhao Peng, Qin Tuo just gave a cold smile and treated them like they were thin air.

Seeing that Qin Tuo was ignoring him, Zhao Peng’s anger flared, and he immediately threatened him.

”Qin Tuo, don’t think I don’t know what you’re here for. Let me be clear: there is absolutely no way you’re signing that contract today. As long as I’m here, I’ll make your life a living hell!”

Neither of them took Qin Tuo seriously in the slightest.

They figured that after leaving Half Moon Bay, Qin Tuo had lost his connection to the Chen Family.

So now, without the Chen Family’s protection, Qin Tuo was just a lowly employee. He was nothing!

Qin Tuo snorted coldly and said,

”What’s it to you if I sign the contract or not?”

Hearing this, Zhao Peng burst out laughing.

”Qin Tuo, have you even bothered to find out who the biggest shareholder of this company is? I’ll tell you: it’s my Zhao Family! All it takes is one word from me, Zhao Peng, and no one here will dare sign a contract with you!”

Seeing his chance, Liu Qiang, who was standing nearby, hurried forward to suck up.

”So you’re the one Qingmei Company sent to discuss the contract. This is Young Master Zhao, an important shareholder in our company. Now that you’ve offended him, signing this contract won’t be so easy!”

Hearing Liu Qiang’s words, the smug look on Zhao Peng’s face intensified.

He said with a sinister grin,

”Qin Tuo, don’t say I’m not giving you a chance. If you kneel before me, give me three loud kowtows, and call me ’Grandpa’ three times, I’ll let you sign the contract. How about it?”

Liu Qiang played along, roaring with laughter as he looked at Qin Tuo with unconcealed contempt.

”Dream on!”

Qin Tuo’s casual remark nearly made Zhao Peng fly into another rage.

Seeing Qin Tuo’s nonchalant attitude, the resentment in Xu Min’s heart erupted.

”What’s so great about you, Qin Tuo? Still putting on airs at a time like this? You fucking ex-con, you’ll never amount to anything in this life! You’re just like your parents—low-life scum who live in the mud, destined to be stuck there forever!”

Qin Tuo’s head snapped toward Xu Min, the light in his eyes turning bone-chillingly cold.

”Qin Tuo... What are you trying to do?”

Xu Min’s heart leaped in alarm. She sensed something was wrong with the look in his eyes.

Without a word, Qin Tuo walked straight toward Xu Min.

”Wh-what are you doing? I’m warning you, don’t try anything stupid!”

Xu Min was finally getting scared.

Qin Tuo strode forward, raised his hand, and landed a heavy slap across Xu Min’s face.

The slap left both Zhao Peng and Liu Qiang utterly dumbfounded.

They never thought Qin Tuo would actually resort to violence so suddenly, completely ignoring everyone else present.

Qin Tuo said in an icy voice,

”That slap was to teach you some manners. If there’s a next time, it won’t be something as simple as a slap.”

”Qin Tuo, you...”

Furious and flustered, Xu Min clutched her face, still in disbelief.

She wanted to spit out a threat, but faced with Qin Tuo’s ice-cold expression right in front of her, the words caught in her throat.

Qin Tuo snorted and ignored Xu Min.

’He could tolerate being insulted, but he drew the line at insults against his parents.’

’A slap was a light punishment, all things considered!’

Liu Qiang snorted loudly and waved his hand.

”Security! Get over here and throw this punk out!”

He knew this was his chance to get on the good side of the Zhao Family, so he put on a show of being furious.

”You punk, you’re so disrespectful, resorting to violence at the drop of a hat. Our Qingmei Company won’t be discussing any contract with you.”

Just then, the security guards arrived.

The guards, their eyes unfriendly, blocked Qin Tuo’s path.

”Young man, please leave immediately. Otherwise, we’ll have to get rough!”

the lead guard said in a grim tone.

But Qin Tuo ignored the guards as if they were thin air and turned to Liu Qiang.

”Oh? And who might you be? What gives you the authority to make that call?”

Liu Qiang sneered.

”Hmph! Listen up, punk. I’m the sales manager of this company!”

Qin Tuo waved his hand dismissively.

”A mere sales manager... You’re not qualified to discuss the contract with me. Get your chairman in here!”

The domineering aura that emanated from Qin Tuo as he spoke stunned everyone present.

They couldn’t understand. He was just a lowly employee. Where did he get the nerve to summon the chairman?

Where did he get such confidence?

The truth was, just before he arrived, Long Wu had called Qin Tuo and told him everything was already taken care of.

All Qin Tuo had to do was meet directly with Zeng Fuchai, the chairman of Qingmei Company.

After snapping out of their shock, the onlookers couldn’t help but start jeering.

”Has this guy lost his mind? He’s a nobody, a low-level employee, and he dares to talk so big?”

Liu Qiang sneered.

Zhao Peng also chimed in with a sinister laugh.

”This little bastard has always loved to put on a show. Too bad for him, he picked the wrong place to do it this time!”

Qin Tuo had no more patience to waste on them. He said coldly,

”Enough with the bullshit. I’ll say it again: get your chairman!”

Liu Qiang’s eyes widened with displeasure. He couldn’t believe Qin Tuo’s audacity.

’How can he be so arrogant after we’ve exposed him for what he is?’

Zhao Peng was even more blatant in his arrogance.

”Qin Tuo, my Zhao Family owns a stake in this company. Even if Zeng Fuchai himself came, he wouldn’t dare sign a contract with you. I came here today for the sole purpose of viciously humiliating you!”

Seeing Zhao Peng lose his temper, Liu Qiang immediately ordered the guards to get rid of Qin Tuo.

The guards warned Qin Tuo again.

However, Qin Tuo turned a deaf ear. It all clicked into place for him then: that bastard Zhang Cheng had clearly conspired with the Zhao Family.

’Otherwise, why would this punk Zhao Peng be here waiting for me?’

But Qin Tuo had no intention of dealing with him. Instead, he started walking directly toward the chairman’s office.

Liu Qiang barked out an order!

”Security, stop him!”

With grim expressions, the guards rolled up their sleeves and lunged at Qin Tuo.

’This kid really doesn’t know what’s good for him. We’ve warned him over and over, and he just ignores us!’

Qin Tuo didn’t even glance back at the guards rushing toward him.

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from his body, exploding outward like a shockwave!

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Unable to withstand the force, the guards were sent tumbling to the ground.
