Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Both Yingdie and Zhan Qi were careless.

Even the strongest warriors in the entire Battle Hall were careless.

They thought that as long as they guarded the courtyard and prevented anyone from getting close to the villa, Meng Chuan would be safe.

Therefore, none of them stayed behind in Mengchuan.

They didn't realize what was happening until they heard what sounded like fighting coming from Meng Chuan's room.

The enemy had actually sneaked into Meng Chuan's room.

Especially Yingdie, who wished her parents would give her two more legs.

Zhan Qi, as the captain of the guards at Haihu Manor, was extremely vengeful.

If something were to really happen to the young master, even their deaths would not be enough to atone for their mistakes.

Therefore, they, and even all the powerful figures in the Battle Hall, wished they could devour this man in black alive.

The reputation of the entire Battle Hall, built up over hundreds of years, was almost ruined by this man in black.

Fortunately, Meng Chuan miraculously held on.

Apart from the three powerful warriors from the Battle Hall who used their own bodies to form a protective shield for Meng Chuan.

The rest of the group surrounded the man in black.

The crowd rushed forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the man in black.

The man in black was also incredibly strong; he wielded his short sword with such skill that no one could get close to him, and the cold light of his blade was so intense that no one could get near him.

Moreover, the man in black fought with increasing ferocity and gradually gained the upper hand despite being surrounded by the crowd.

He spotted a gap in the encirclement, suddenly exerted his strength to repel the crowd, and rushed towards the window.

"Don't leave."

When Yingdie saw the man in black trying to escape through the window, she immediately let out a shriek.

This person injured Meng Chuan and thinks he can just leave? Absolutely not!

Shadow Butterfly pounced forward, reaching out to grab the hem of the man in black's clothes.

"court death."

As the man in black leaped up, he turned around and swung his short sword down hard at Yingdie's face.

At this moment, if Yingdie retreats, the man in black will surely escape through the window.

Once he leaves this room, no one can catch him.

If Yingdie doesn't retreat, even if Yingdie manages to grab his hem.

The dagger in his hand will surely split Shadow Butterfly's head in two.

In that split second, Yingdie's eyes were filled with nothing but indifference.

There was not the slightest hesitation or pause.

He completely ignored the short knife that was coming down towards his head.

Her eyes were fixed only on the hem of the man in black's clothes.

She was willing to give her life to keep the man in black.

Even the man in black showed a hint of panic at this moment.

Is this girl really courting death?

In the chaos, the man in black's short knife, already out of control, was only a hand's breadth away from Yingdie's face.

He could only quickly flip his wrist.

The blade that was originally meant to cleave Yingdie's face transformed into a broad, thick blade, which then lashed down at Yingdie's face.

"stop."

Just then, Meng Chuan finally caught his breath.

As Meng Chuan's voice fell, the black-clad man's blade struck Ying Die's forehead.

At the same time, Yingdie's hands, which had lunged forward, gripped the hem of the man in black's clothes tightly.

It all sounds slow, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye.

Yingdie's forehead was slapped by the black-clad man's blade, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

However, her fair hands gripped the black-clad man's clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

After the initial shock, Zhan Qi and other powerful warriors from the Battle Hall prepared to make their move again.

Although they didn't understand why the man in black suddenly stopped and didn't take Yingdie's life.

But the hatred they felt for the men in black was something that even the Yellow River couldn't wash away.

But before Zhan Qi and the others could make a move, Meng Chuan suddenly pushed away the Zhan Tang expert who was protecting him:

"Old Fu, are you really going all out?"

Meng Chuan roared at the man in black.

Yingdie's forehead was slapped red, which made Meng Chuan feel sorry for her!

Meng Chuan's roar stunned everyone present, and their movements came to a standstill.

The man in black was also slightly taken aback, looking at Meng Chuan in disbelief.

He then slowly pulled down his veil, revealing a familiar face—it was Prince Fu.

Fu Wang, the left protector of the Green Gang, held a very prestigious position within the gang.

He even held the power to dismiss the leader of the Green Gang.

Upon seeing Fu Wang's familiar face, both Ying Die and Zhan Qi were stunned.

Prince Fu, however, looked at Meng Chuan with some annoyance:

"When did you recognize me, kid?"

It wasn't until Prince Fu spoke that everyone believed the facts before their eyes.

"I'm not blind. You managed to break through their encirclement. If they really wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have lasted a single round."

Meng Chuan rolled his eyes at Prince Fu, clearly annoyed.

When he fought Prince Fu one-on-one before, Meng Chuan only wanted to save his life.

I didn't think that much about it.

It wasn't until Yingdie and the others appeared that Meng Chuan, still shaken, forced himself to calm down.

But the more Meng Chuan looked, the more alarmed he became.

Meng Chuan was aware of Ying Die's and Zhan Qi's strength.

I knew I couldn't last ten moves against them.

Even with Yingdie and the others working together, the man in black was still able to seize the opportunity to break through.

This man in black has the strength; he could have easily killed Meng Chuan before.

In other words, the man in black had no intention of killing Meng Chuan.

Otherwise, Meng Chuan wouldn't have lasted until Ying Die and the others appeared.

Furthermore, even when surrounded by powerful warriors from the Battle Hall, the man in black did not actually kill them.

Considering all of the above, I can't think of anyone other than Prince Fu, Meng Chuan.

"Why are you still holding me? I was just testing the young master's strength and raising his awareness."

Having been seen through by Meng Chuan, Prince Fu was somewhat embarrassed.

He yelled at Yingdie in a bad mood.

"Greetings, Prince Fu."

Yingdie then seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

"Greetings, Prince Fu."

Zhan Qi and the others hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

"Not bad, your loyalty is commendable, but you have neglected to protect the young master."

Prince Fu nodded; the performance of these battle hall experts tonight was commendable.

Especially Yingdie, who risked her life for her young master.

However, the merits and demerits cancel each other out.

If the assassin who came today was truly of his caliber, then the young master is already dead.

As for why Prince Fu would appear here...

That was, of course, also to protect Meng Chuan.

Ever since Meng Chuan deliberately revealed his identity, Fifth Master has been very worried about Meng Chuan's safety.

Therefore, he secretly instructed Prince Fu to protect Meng Chuan.

It just so happens that assassins are planning to storm Mar-a-Lago today.

Just as Fifth Master said, flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain.

Prince Fu then decided on a whim to test Meng Chuan.

Unexpectedly, Meng Chuan's performance and tenacity exceeded his expectations.

Meng Chuan's performance also exceeded Prince Fu's expectations.

However, it also exposed the weakness of Zhan Qi and his team in providing inadequate protection.

"Your subordinate failed to protect me properly; please punish me, young master."

Zhan Qi lowered his head in shame and turned to Meng Chuan.

He, as the team captain, really lost face today.

If his other brothers found out, they'd laugh at him to death.

"Get up! You have done very well. It's just that some people took advantage of their positions to exploit loopholes."

"you……"

Prince Fu hesitated, but he couldn't vent his anger on the young master.

Only able to fight against the Seven Roars:

"What are you all standing there for? What happened to those assassins? Did you catch them?"

"We've...we've caught them."

"Zhan Qi said."

"Then why aren't you going to investigate? If you don't get to the bottom of this, I'll hold you accountable!"
