He Ate a Divine Dragon-Chapter 486 - 484 - : Jokes

As Lin Xiao's voice fell, the sprawling villa was plunged into a deathly silence.

Su Qingfeng suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Lin Xiao glanced at her, realizing she had fainted from fright, and let out a disdainful, cold laugh. His gaze then fell upon Su Daonong and Su Qingkun.

"Do you know why only the Shao Family remains out of the five first-tier families in Jinling City?" he continued. "It's because the Shao Family is a member of the A9 Alliance, which means they work for me. As for the other families… they were either destroyed or died. Oh, by the way, Su Daonong, you know of Myth Corporation, right?"

Su Daonong shuddered. Of course, he knew. Myth Corporation was located not far from the Su Corporation; he could see it every day. Moreover, Su Daonong was acutely aware that Myth Corporation was now the largest private enterprise in all of Jinling City, even ranking high in the whole of Kyushu.

"My apologies. It's mine—a gift I gave to Su Qingning," Lin Xiao stated indifferently.

BOOM!

Su Daonong collapsed onto the sofa. The color had drained from his face, his expression completely numb. He suddenly felt as if his entire life had been a joke. Thinking of everything he had done to Su Qingning, Su Daonong was overcome with an urge to kill himself.

Just then, the stench of urine reached Lin Xiao's nostrils. He glanced over at Su Qingkun and saw that the piece of trash had wet himself at some point. His expression was bizarre. Though initially petrified, he was now laughing one moment, crying the next, and then clapping his hands.

"Kneel! I am the Dragon Lord!" Su Qingkun suddenly bellowed.

The sudden outburst startled Su Daonong. "Qingkun… you… what's wrong with you?" Su Daonong asked, his voice trembling.

"You old bastard, what did you call me? I am the Dragon Lord! Kneel before me now!"

Su Daonong grew even more frantic. "Qingkun… what in the world is wrong with you?"

As he spoke, Su Qingkun suddenly lunged forward. Without a word, he punched Su Daonong in the nose. He then scrambled toward the villa's exit, shouting as he ran, "I am the Dragon Lord! All of you, kneel before me!"

Xiao Shixiong watched the scene unfold in astonishment, but Lin Xiao was not surprised at all. He knew that Su Qingkun had gone mad, snapped under the pressure of Lin Xiao's overwhelmingly powerful background.

Su Daonong seemed to realize this as well. He began to cry, tears streaming down his face. With a desolate expression, he watched everything unfold.

I thought I could control everything… But now I see I can't grasp anything at all.

His family was shattered, his home ruined. This was true ruin. His son had gone mad. His daughter had married a beggar. And he himself was likely facing prison. Su Daonong was filled with regret. True, deep regret.

I wasn't like this at the start. When did I become this… monstrosity? Was it after my younger brother left? Or maybe after I joined Su Corporation? Everything has changed. Nothing can ever go back.

A feeling of utter desolation washed over Su Daonong.

Just then, he heard the sound of frantic footsteps. Lin Xiao turned his head and saw Bai Xiangqian leading seven or eight high-ranking police officers into the villa.

Su Daonong trembled all over, his mouth quivering. He stared at Lin Xiao, looking as if he wanted to say something but not knowing what.

Bai Xiangqian quickly entered the living room. "Su Daonong, your nephew has confessed everything. Come with us now!" His tone was ice-cold, his gaze as sharp as a blade, fixed on Su Daonong.

Su Daonong remained silent. Faced with his bleak, impending fate, he was finally afraid. His body trembled uncontrollably, like chaff in a sieve. Two police officers took him by the arms and began to lead him outside.

"Wait a moment!" Su Daonong said suddenly after a few steps.

The two officers paused. Su Daonong slowly turned around. His voice trembling uncontrollably, he said to Lin Xiao, "Lin Xiao, please give a message to Qing Ning for me. Tell her that her uncle is sorry, and that I'm willing to return Su Corporation to her, unconditionally."

"No need. She will have her own brand-new life," Lin Xiao replied indifferently.

Su Daonong gave Lin Xiao a long, deep look and heaved a heavy sigh. Finally, he turned and allowed himself to be led away.

Bai Xiangqian smiled at Lin Xiao. "Brother, sorry we couldn't save Miss Su's bar!"

"It's fine. You did your best. Besides, we caught the mastermind," Lin Xiao said.

"Well, I'll be going then. Let's grab a drink when you have time!"

Lin Xiao nodded. Bai Xiangqian smiled at Xiao Shixiong, who nodded in return. After saying their goodbyes, Lin Xiao and Xiao Shixiong watched him leave.

Xiao Shixiong glanced at Su Qingfeng, who was still unconscious on the floor. "Master, how should we deal with this trash?"

"Leave her be. I want her to spend every single day of her life in agony and remorse!"

"Understood. I will have someone monitor her. If she dares to step out of line, I will report it to you at once."

Lin Xiao nodded and asked, "Are you busy later?"

"Whatever you need, Master, just say the word."

"Come home with me. The bar is gone, and the Shao Family is about to bankrupt the Su Corporation. It's time for my wife to take charge of Myth Corporation."

"At your command!"

The two of them left the Su family home. It had already grown quite dark. Lin Xiao recalled the first time he had come here. The night had been just like this when he and Su Qingning left. That time, thanks to Shao Mei'er's appearance, Su Qingning had managed to vent some of her resentment toward her uncle. Perhaps that moment had already foreshadowed today's outcome.

As he departed, Lin Xiao glanced back at the Su family home one last time. The entire estate was pitch-black, completely swallowed by the night.

Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze and headed for his own villa.

Soon, he arrived. This was Xiao Shixiong's first visit, and he looked around, astonished by everything he saw.

"Master, compared to your place, mine looks like a slum!" Xiao Shixiong laughed.

Lin Xiao smiled back. "Do you remember what I told you on the way here?"

"Yes, Master, don't worry. I remember. I will tell Su Qingning that we were impressed by her talent and wish to specially appoint her as the President of Myth Corporation."

Lin Xiao nodded, satisfied. To be honest, he had considered revealing his true identity to Su Qingning. But his status was too world-shaking, and he worried that a sudden revelation would be too great a shock for her to handle. He had also wanted to just give her Myth Corporation directly but feared she wouldn't accept it. That was why he had resorted to this strategy of having Xiao Shixiong extend a formal invitation.

He led Xiao Shixiong into the living room, which was spacious but empty.

"Have a seat for a moment. I'll go get my wife."

Xiao Shixiong nodded respectfully.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to head upstairs, his phone suddenly rang. The call was from Shang Tuo.

Lin Xiao's heart lurched as he answered.
