Chapter 114 -114 The Little People……

“So awesome, so awesome…”

These were the words that Ding Ling had been muttering to herself ever since Sandora dropped the bombshell, so engrossed in her thoughts that she hadn’t even noticed Lin Xue yanking her hair from behind.

“Wait a minute!” Ding Ling suddenly exclaimed, then looked at us with a shocked face and said, “A Royal Family member is actually the leader of some foreign organization—could this be that legendary conspiracy to steal the throne? Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I’ve learned such an incredible secret. You guys aren’t going to kill me to keep me quiet, are you… Ow!”

Lin Xue slapped Ding Ling on the head, then drilled her fist into her scalp with great gusto, saying, “Silly girl, isn’t your imagination a little too wild?”

“It’s not my fault, okay? Aren’t you shocked, too? A member of the Royal Family is the leader of an underground organization, and its members are from a Foreign Country. Doesn’t this dramatic plot make you think of thrones and conspiracies? And you call yourself the most insightful Miss Lin of the whole organization…”

I was already feeling desperate about this girl with a wildly imaginative mind…

...

“What underground organization,” Lin Xue kept drilling as if trying to start a fire on Ding Ling’s head, “Didn’t I tell you? This organization is a completely neutral family group! Just think of it as a club, okay? Isn’t it normal for a member of the Royal Family to start a club?”

Ding Ling suddenly swatted Lin Xue’s hand aside, then seriously said, “Little Xue, I just realized you’ve been speaking up for these new friends a lot, as if you’re very familiar with this organization… Are you hiding something from me?”

“Chen Jun,” Sandora’s voice suddenly came from deep within, “Should I just hypnotize Ding Ling? She looks kind of stupid, but she’s such a troublemaker.”

Troublemaker, huh…

I looked down at Little One, the war merchant nestled in my arms, deceptively well-behaved but probably plotting some earth-shaking military action, then glanced at Sandora, who had both the identities of a Foreign Princess and mysterious organization leader, having brought me so much trouble upon arrival, and firmly ignored her even more troublemaking suggestion.

“Liu Zicai seemed very afraid of you just now,” in order to distract the curious Ding Ling, I decided to let someone perform a bit of a smoke grenade role, “He probably doesn’t know about Superpower Users, right? Are you some sort of important figure?”

“Just a rich dad, that’s all.”

Ding Ling didn’t seem keen on discussing the subject, merely commenting before turning her head away, but Lin Xue seemed delighted to take Ding Ling down a peg, eagerly proclaiming, “It’s not that simple—Ding Ling is the famous Miss of the Ding Family, and her family’s influence covers the whole Asian region!”

“You’re no different,” Ding Ling shot Lin Xue a look, “Miss Lin of the Lin Family, one of the publicly acknowledged heirs of Mr. Lin. Don’t act like the Lin Family’s power is any less than the Ding Family’s!”

What? The Ding Family? The Lin Family? Situated at the top of society, unknown to civilians, super huge families? The true puppet-masters behind the scenes of this world? Or maybe ancient Cultivation families that had once commanded respect and now operated in secret within the city? Descendants of Aliens who had fallen to Earth, unable to return home, amassing a formidable empire through advanced technology? Or…

Cough cough… I admit, my imagination is a bit out of control. Is this a side effect of my recent explosive growth in spiritual power? The turmoil within my own mind uncontrollable, perhaps a sign of deviating from my path? A preliminary condition for transforming into a demon? The beginning of another legend? Is a dark protagonist about to make a shining entrance? Maybe…

“Bang—” Sandora punched me on the head, then said to me through our Spiritual Connection, huffing with annoyance, “Before you go off into your wild musings, can you please spare a thought for me, who shares a bond with your soul? Could you at least turn off the public channel?”

Then, Pandora, who had been silent in my arms, suddenly spoke in a tone reminiscent of a computer text-to-speech, “The Ding Family, currently headed by Ding Sheng, rose to prominence in the early Ming dynasty, amassing wealth through the salt trade, then expanded their influence abroad through trade in the South Ocean. Their ventures include food, clothing, pharmaceuticals, machinery, and weapons. Despite several ups and downs, they have grown to exert control over Asia’s economy and hold significant global influence. The Lin Family, currently headed by Lin Dingfeng, is an emerging power that rapidly rose over the last century, initially through smuggling operations across Southeast Asia. Later, they expanded their business network, transferred to legitimate avenues, and now primarily deal in machinery, weapons, and real estate, with economic influence slightly less than the Ding Family’s, but equally formidable. The two families initially clashed over the arms trade, becoming fierce enemies, but reconciled during the war against Japan. To this day, the relationship between the two families remains very harmonious.”

You could have heard a pin drop.

Ding Ling was astonished by the little girl’s mastery of such detailed secret information, while I was shocked by the facts revealed by Pandora.

The sudden revelation of two super-families perched atop human society, yet unknown to the public, didn’t surprise me. The existence of such powers wasn’t illogical; on the contrary, it was almost inevitable that a few such superpowers would covertly influence the course of the world today. At most, I would marvel, but what truly astonished me was Lin Xue’s identity.

A super-family heiress? An heir who could make the entire world tremble in the future? Such an exaggerated figure is right beside me? Is that even possible?

When I looked at Lin Xue, my gaze suddenly became solemn. What a remarkable person! To me, she’s practically a legendary existence! And her family is involved in arms trafficking? And she herself is a high-ranking leader of a Superpower Organization?

Who the hell is the protagonist of this book?

Next to me, Qianqian and her sister’s expressions weren’t much different. They were just ordinary girls who, upon suddenly encountering such legendary matters, inevitably reacted like this.

“Hey, do you really need to be so surprised about my identity?”

Lin Xue’s voice suddenly rang out in our minds with a feeling of helplessness.

“Of course, we do!” we exclaimed in unison, once again making Lin Xue’s head buzz with the vibration.

“Would you guys split it up?” Lin Xue’s expression remained unchanged, but the voice that came through the Spiritual Connection nearly went mad. “Also, Chen Jun, you fool, in front of such a big shot like you, are mine and Ding Ling’s identities that exaggerated?”

Eh? Now that Lin Xue mentioned it, it seemed like I had indeed overlooked something…

“You oblivious guy, really… do I need to spell it out for you? Even if our Lin Family went bankrupt, we couldn’t afford a single Battleship from your fleet, and the total arms trafficked by the Ding and Lin families in a year is not even equivalent to what Pandora handles alone. Are you completely unaware of how absurd you are?”

Oh… so that’s how it is. Now that she puts it that way, it seems I’ve never really been aware of just how exaggerative the power I wield is… No, wait, that’s not the main issue here, is it? This girl just called me a fool, didn’t she? And she called me absurd, didn’t she? How am I only realizing this now? Am I not too slow on the uptake?

“That’s why I say you’re a blockhead.”

Seeing that it took me a good half minute to finally grasp the situation, Lin Xue summed up.

“The nerve of such a minor character!”

Just as I was preparing to properly punish this girl, who can’t seem to go a day without belittling me, Ding Ling suddenly spoke up, “It seems your intelligence agents are quite capable. These secrets are not only unknown to civilians but even organizations like the Superpower Team have very little knowledge about our families under the deliberate concealment of the two families…”

Of course, any little intelligence maneuvering is nothing in front of a War Lolita whose sole purpose is to conquer the world, right, my little darling Pandora?

While thinking this in my mind, I was twisting the pleasantly soft cheeks of Pandora in my hand without needing to think, I knew that Pandora had collected this information purely from a strategic perspective. Perhaps the entire global military forces’ deployment was already in this Little One’s head?

Pandora’s little face was being squished into various comical expressions. She wriggled restlessly in my arms, looking even more like she was throwing a tantrum. To have transformed an Imperial General, whose life was defined by war, to this extent gave me an immense sense of achievement.

What I hadn’t noticed was the victorious look Pandora had stealthily given to Little Baobao—of course, Baobao, being the one involved, hadn’t noticed it either. This little fellow didn’t even understand why sister Pandora kept bullying her…

Seeing the two bickering organization leaders before her, Ding Ling began to question what kind of organization they were dealing with—could it truly just be a club formed by enthusiasts?

At that moment, she suddenly remembered she had almost forgotten the serious matter at hand!

“Ahem…” Ding Ling cleared her throat to draw our attention before saying, “I almost forgot, you mentioned earlier that this incident is somehow related to you all?”
