Chapter 726 The next set - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

As Wang Haoran's words fell, the expressions of the formidable figures present in the room subtly shifted. For over a hundred years, Wu Xingtian single-handedly oppressed these foreign factions, leaving them with no room to lift their heads. The hatred these foreigners felt towards Wu Xingtian was deep-seated and intense. Now, as they finally approached the end of Wu Xingtian's lifespan, none of them were willing to pass up the opportunity. If Wu Xingtian managed to survive his impending doom, it would spell catastrophe for these foreign groups. Only with Wu Xingtian's death could they sleep peacefully. Wang Haoran's statement stirred the minds of those present. However, none were foolish enough to blindly trust his words. "Ye Wuhen is not a person to be easily handled by you. I suspect it's more likely that you have been enchanted by Ye Wuhen and have switched sides. Perhaps you aim to lure us over so that Wu Xingtian can capture us all in one fell swoop," remarked a monk from the Heavenly List, who hailed from India, eyeing Wang Haoran deeply. Including Chizuru Mako, the Heavenly List experts present all cast suspicious glances at Liu Sheng Yilang. "I have my ways with women. If you don't believe me, let's forget I said anything," Wang Haoran responded. "Your claim is hard to believe. Present some substantial evidence," Chizuru Mako suggested. "I do have evidence. If Lord Chizuru wishes to witness my prowess, I can show you," Wang Haoran replied with a peculiar grin. Noting his unsavory demeanor, Chizuru Mako frowned but still said, "Bring it over; I wish to inspect it." Wang Haoran rose, unlocked Liu Sheng Yilang's phone, and displayed the prepared photos. Initially, there were pictures taken under the moonlight with Ye Wuhen. While Wang Haoran's face wasn't visible, Ye Wuhen's was. Following that were some rather scandalous photos, where the faces were obscured. However, these did not depict Wang Haoran and Ye Wuhen, but rather Liu Sheng Yilang and other women. Yet, Chizuru Mako, with a preconceived notion that the couple in the photos was Liu Sheng Yilang and Ye Wuhen, naturally assumed the more provocative images were also of them. Though Chizuru Mako had no personal experience in such matters, he had seen many such scenes before. Though his eyes felt sullied, he remained composed. Several other experts moved closer to take a look, reaching the same conclusion as Chizuru Mako, believing the couple to be Liu Sheng Yilang and Ye Wuhen. The experts exchanged glances, gaining some level of belief in Liu Sheng Yilang's words. However, the strongman from M Country with werewolf lineage cast a disdainful eye on Wang Haoran, glanced at a certain area of his body, and taunted, "I've long heard that the men of Fuso are short, but I didn't expect you to be that short." Though he twisted his words, everyone present understood his meaning. Wang Haoran felt a surge of competitiveness with this foreigner, eager to enlighten him, but upon reflection, acknowledged that Liu Sheng Yilang was indeed short. Moreover, the mockery was aimed at Liu Sheng Yilang and had no impact on himself. Currently playing Liu Sheng Yilang, Wang Haoran displayed anger. "Watch your mouth, foreigner!" "Shorty, I enjoy saying it like that. What are you going to do about it?" the strongman from M Country challenged aggressively. Wang Haoran feigned readiness for a fight but quickly assumed a deflated posture, looking imploringly at Chizuru Mako for support. Such behavior was typical of Liu Sheng Yilang, known for bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Ranked eighth on the Heavenly List, Liu Sheng Yilang was the weakest among them. Although Chizuru Mako disliked Liu Sheng Yilang, they both hailed from Fuso, and in the face of outsiders, he chose to stand with Liu Sheng Yilang. Thus, he addressed the strongman from M Country, saying: "Liu Sheng Yilang is an exception. Please, Mr. Smith, refrain from insulting all men from Fuso." Hearing this, Wang Haoran spared a moment for Liu Sheng Yilang, who had been verbally slighted by Chizuru Mako despite being defended. Wang Haoran tactfully displayed a bit of awkwardness. The other experts chuckled. Smith, struck by Chizuru Mako’s allure, commented, "From what Miss Chizuru implies, it seems you’ve experienced the talents of quite a few Fuso men. But I assure you, that’s only because Miss Chizuru hasn’t truly seen the world." "Oh, Mr. Smith, is the 'world' you refer to yourself?" Chizuru Mako giggled. "If Miss Chizuru is willing, shall we spar a bit?" Smith suggested with implication. "Sure," Chizuru Mako responded and walked outside. Smith, feeling a rush of excitement, followed her out. Moments later, Chizuru Mako returned with a coquettish smile. Smith followed, but his face showed no sign of satisfaction. Instead, it bore swellings and bruises. Smith had suggested sparring metaphorically, but Chizuru Mako took him on literally. Though Smith was ranked third on the Heavenly List, against the formidable Chizuru Mako, ranked second, he stood little chance. The bruises on Smith's face were a testament to this. "Let's stop this nonsense and discuss serious matters," the monk from India looked at Liu Sheng Yilang. "Ye Wuhen is Wu Xingtian's sole disciple. I don’t believe she's swayed so easily. Besides the evidence just shown, do you have anything else to prove she's now under your control?" With that, the other experts turned their attention to Liu Sheng Yilang, awaiting his response. "There's nothing else. But I, Liu Sheng Yilang, swear by the heavens, if I uttered even a single falsehood, let me die without a full body!" Wang Haoran vowed under Liu Sheng Yilang's name. Chizuru Mako and the others exchanged glances, finding Liu Sheng Yilang's assertion unconvincing. "Seeing your expressions, it's clear you don't trust me. I went to great lengths to persuade Ye Wuhen, and since you don't believe, then so be it. I reckon joining the assault on Wu Xingtian would be risky anyway." Wang Haoran stood up, jesting, "I'd rather enjoy a woman's company. I’m done with this. You handle Wu Xingtian however you wish. I'm off to enjoy myself elsewhere." With that, Wang Haoran whistled as he departed. As he turned away, a subtle, inexplicable smile appeared on his lips. After Liu Sheng Yilang left, the assembled experts exchanged glances. A Heavenly List expert from Giao Chỉ turned to Chizuru Mako, asking, "Miss Chizuru, you and Liu Sheng Yilang are both from Fuso and likely know him better than us. How much credibility do you think his words hold?" (End of Chapter)
