Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.

Phil took a flight overnight, and it was already past 11 p.m. when he got off the plane. His assistant was on his way to the hotel.

Looking at the night view outside the window, Phil was full of ambition. Although he was over sixty years old, he was still full of energy.

He once dominated many countries, and no company, no matter how successful, could escape his grasp.

This time, he has his sights set on many companies here, and he is preparing to make a big splash with 50 billion yuan.

KD Financial is just the beginning; its goal is to acquire the top-tier capital here.

The assistant escorted Philette to the hotel.

"Sir, the cocktail party at 8 p.m. tomorrow has been confirmed. We just need to be there on time."

Just as Philette was preparing to arrive, someone had already received an invitation to a cocktail party.

Filip: "Will Song Yi, the head of KD Financial, go?"

Assistant: "His name is on the invitation list."

I don't know if they will attend, but they have definitely been invited.

Phil nodded: "I'll be there on time."

If you're lucky, you might run into Song Yi.

Their initial target was not KD Financial. However, during the liquidation of Chuxiong's assets, they discovered KD Financial, which had been behind the scenes. Upon closer investigation, they found that the company was actually quite capable, so they temporarily changed their target.

People here often say an old saying: "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey." KD Finance is the chicken they plan to kill.

They also confirmed that KD Financial doesn't have any major backing and should be acquired soon.

The next day, Song Yi was handling matters at the company during the day, and around 7 p.m., Lu Xiao came downstairs at their company.

Lu Xiao: "My dad won't be getting off the plane for another two hours. He asked me to go to a cocktail party in his place. I heard that Philette will be there too. Did he invite you?"

Song Yi pulled out the invitation: "Let's go together."

Lu Xiao drove towards the party.

The host of this party was also a foreigner named Esso. Esso's family is considered aristocratic in foreign countries. They have been in China for over a year, and their company has shares in Filip. The two are partners.

Filip arrived at eight o'clock. As soon as he stood next to Esso, a bunch of people crowded around him, wanting to get to know him.

Phil was very arrogant, simply clinking glasses with these people. He would only chat with those who were extremely wealthy.

Half an hour after the party started, Song Yi still hadn't arrived. Philette asked Esso:

"Hasn't Song Yi arrived yet?"

Esso asked about the list of people who signed in, and Song Yi was indeed not on it.

"He didn't come. I heard that Song Yi has attended very few parties in the past year, and he broke off his engagement with his fiancée a while ago. Maybe he's heartbroken at home."

Philette didn't think so. He thought that someone who could create KD Financial wouldn't be the kind of person who would be heartbroken over a woman.

However, I was somewhat disappointed that Song Yi didn't come.

Just then, two people walked in through the door. At first glance, they looked like celebrities from somewhere.

Someone whispered in Esso's ear:

"Sir, Song Yi has arrived."

Esso looked toward the two people at the door. He had seen Song Yi's information, but who was the one next to him?

They didn't recognize Lu Xiao, but that didn't matter.

Esso: "The person you wanted to see has arrived."

Phil looked toward the door. Song Yi was wearing a dark blue suit with a matching tie, which was more suited to a formal occasion.

Influenced by Lu Qingyu, Lu Xiao's clothes tend to be more fashionable. The models wore black velvet suit jackets without anything underneath, so Lu Xiao naturally wouldn't wear nothing underneath. He paired it with a white shirt, and his perfect figure was accentuated by the clothes, making everyone subconsciously think that he was a male celebrity.

From the moment Song Yi entered the inner area, Phil began to scrutinize him, and Song Yi keenly caught Phil's gaze.

Lu Xiao whispered to himself:

"There's an old man watching you. Is he a pervert? Has he taken a fancy to you?"

Song Yi: "...That's Philette."

Lu Xiao: "Ah? It's him!"

Song Yi told Lu Xiao about Philette's plan to take over their company. Lu Xiao was also very curious about this old man, wondering what kind of person he was and why he was nicknamed "The Butcher".

Lu Xiao's gaze at Phil was unabashed. In any previous cocktail party, these people, after learning Phil's identity, would show either reverence, respect, or fear. If Phil's gaze fell on someone, none of them dared to meet his eyes. This was the first time they had encountered Lu Xiao looking at him like he was merchandise, which made Phil somewhat uncomfortable.

Lu Xiao: "There's nothing special about him. If I hadn't seen him in person, I would have thought he could fly."

Song Yi almost burst out laughing. Flying? Did he think this was a game?

Song Yi grew up doing business with his grandfather, and he knows almost everyone in the industry.

Lu Xiao is of mixed race. He was adopted by Lu Qingyu abroad and spent several years in a laboratory abroad after growing up. He only appeared here two years ago, but only to attend some unavoidable parties on behalf of Lu Qingyu, so people are not familiar with him.

Song Yi greeted some of the uncles and elders in the circle, and Lu Xiao followed behind, freeloading off them.

An older man in the circle used to be friends with Song Yi's grandfather. When he saw Song Yi, he immediately came over and lowered his voice as if he were sharing some important news.

“Song Yi, let me introduce you to a big shot, Mr. Filip, do you know him? Filip from the Pirate Company.”

Wang Qinglai was afraid that Song Yi wouldn't know, so he was referring to the Filip Company's nickname, "Pirates."

Wang Qinglai knew that Philette was coming a day in advance, but he didn't know that Philette was coming to slaughter them, a group of rich people, like pigs. He thought that he could climb the social ladder and stand on Philette's side so that Philette could help them make money.

Wang Qinglai pulled Song Yi over, and when Wang Qinglai introduced himself to Philite, Song Yi guessed that he really didn't know the purpose of Philite's visit.

Wang Qinglai is a cunning but not shrewd person. He likes to take advantage of others, but overall he is quite loyal. Song Yi's grandfather treated him well back then and gave him a lot of business. Over the years, Wang Qinglai has always cooperated with Song Yi.

Wang Qinglai: "Mr. Philette, let me introduce you. This is Song Yi, the president of Yuanxing Group. Don't let his youth fool you; he's very capable in business."

Philette slowly swirled a glass of red wine in her hand. Wang Qinglai, having finished speaking, saw Song Yi standing there dumbfounded and quickly teased him:

"Let's raise a glass to Mr. Philette."
