Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"How strange! Has that old bastard Prince Fu changed his ways? He didn't even try to assassinate me last night."

Meng Chuan woke up with dark circles under his eyes, muttering to himself.

Last night, I don't know if it was out of disgust for Wolf Fang or out of fear of Prince Fu's assassination attempt.

Meng Chuan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

To prepare for a possible assassination attempt, even the slightest disturbance could startle Meng Chuan into sitting up.

Meng Chuan drifted off to sleep, but the assassination attempt by Prince Fu did not occur.

However, Meng Chuan didn't stay idle during this long night!

He mentally rehearsed the process of fighting (and being beaten) with Prince Fu over and over again.

"I thought you wouldn't get out of bed unless I pulled the covers off you!"

After washing up, Meng Chuan went to Diaoyutai.

Prince Fu was already sitting cross-legged there, waiting for Meng Chuan.

"Old Fu, did you oversleep last night? Haha."

Meng Chuan mocked.

There was nothing he could do; he couldn't beat them in a fight. At least having the chance to mock them could at least give Meng Chuan some peace of mind.

"Practicing Qi".

Prince Fu didn't even respond.

Meng Chuan also felt a bit bored, so he sat cross-legged and began practicing his breathing exercises.

However, an hour later, after Meng Chuan finished practicing his Qi cultivation, Prince Fu disappeared.

Meng Chuan had already prepared himself for a beating from Prince Fu.

Where did that old man go?

While eating the breakfast that Yingdie had brought him, Meng Chuan asked.

"do not know."

Yingdie bit her lip, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Old man, you promised to train me, but you went and slacked off again."

Meng Chuan muttered to himself, but inside he was overjoyed.

I can finally take a break.

"How's Robert?"

Just as Meng Chuan was about to finish eating, he suddenly asked.

"woke up."

"That's what Yingdie said."

"Let's go see him!"

Meng Chuan dropped the last lamb leg bone in his hand, wiped the grease off his hands, stood up, and said.

Yes, Robert didn't die at all.

The one who died was just a Blood Gang member of similar build to Robert.

Soon, led by Yingdie, Meng Chuan arrived at a basement in Haihu Manor.

This place is more like a small hospital.

The equipment here is the most advanced in the world, and the doctors are top-notch.

Even open surgery can be handled here in no time.

After all, the powerful warriors of the Battle Hall who are skilled at killing are all experienced surgeons.

"How does it feel?"

Meng Chuan smiled as he looked at the weakened Robert. Not far from him lay David and Stephen.

The three of them had already "exchanged statements" and knew that what Meng Chuan said was true.

It was indeed Henry who wanted to kill them, and Meng Chuan was the one who saved them.

If they hadn't been without Meng Chuan's permission, they would have been eager to immediately release the evidence of Henry's heinous murder.

“Meng Chuan, thank you. Lang Ya, he…”

Upon seeing Meng Chuan, Robert immediately asked a question.

He was no longer as afraid of Meng Chuan as he had been yesterday.

The fact that Meng Chuan saved him means that Meng Chuan did not want him dead.

Robert was still more concerned about Wolf Fang.

The Bloods were his reliance, his confidence in self-protection, and his trump card against Henry.

"Don't mention him to me. He's dead, and that's for sure."

Meng Chuan's killing intent immediately turned chilling.

Robert quickly shut his mouth.

It's clear that Wolf Fang really disgusted Meng Chuan last night.

His life was still in Meng Chuan's hands, so he dared not provoke Meng Chuan.

"Give me a feasible solution to what you said yesterday as soon as possible. I, Meng Chuan, have no other hobbies but money. Without enough money to tempt me, I can make you live, or I can make you die."

Meng Chuan said to Robert.

At the same time, it subtly shapes one's persona as someone who loves money but not power.

Meng Chuan didn't kill Robert because he was still useful.

Foreign capital wants to take over the domestic stock market.

Even with a large sum of money at his disposal, Meng Chuan would find it difficult to turn the tide single-handedly.

If Meng Chuan can divide them internally and make these foreign capitals fight each other, he can reap the benefits.

"We need to regain our freedom!"

Robert said somewhat awkwardly.

They lie here, unable to do anything.

"Soon, once I've swindled the money, you'll be free."

Meng Chuan sneered, took out his phone, and dialed Henry's video call directly.

In front of Robert and the other two, Meng Chuan directly video-called Henry.

"Robert and Wolf Fang are dead, it's your turn to keep your promise."

Meng Chuan said to the video.

The background wall behind Meng Chuan is a white wall, making it impossible to tell where Meng Chuan is.

"Um... Meng Chuan, there are some things I need to see for myself."

Henry gave an ambiguous answer.

He didn't dare to be too direct, worried that Meng Chuan would record the screen and trick him.

"Stop beating around the bush. When you asked me to kill David, I already said everything I needed to say. You want Robert's body? I'm not going to deliver it to you."

Meng Chuan said somewhat impatiently.

"I don't need the body, you have to show me a photo or video!"

Henry was going all out.

Indeed, Meng Chuan already had leverage over them, so he didn't care about having one more.

Moreover, he wasn't worried that Meng Chuan would release evidence of his murder after the deed was done.

After all, he gave the order, but Meng Chuan was the one who killed the person.

Publishing this would not benefit either him or Meng Chuan.

“You didn’t ask me to take pictures before, Henry. You dare to renege on your promise? Try it. My life is worthless.”

Meng Chuan immediately flew into a rage.

"Calm down, I just want to confirm something..."

"Is that right? Okay! I'll send you the surveillance footage. I'm only giving you three days. If the three major capital groups don't go bankrupt after three days, you can wait until the whole world knows the rules!"

Meng Chuan hung up the phone after saying that.

Then send out the surveillance video that had been prepared beforehand.

The villa video in the lobby is in high definition.

It is clear that Meng Chuan personally stabbed Robert to death.

In particular, the huge, bloody handprint that Meng Chuan slapped on Robert's chest was very conspicuous.

The video of Yingdie dragging Robert out of the hall was somewhat blurry in the night, and the faces were not clearly visible.

But the scarlet handprint is still there.

Then came the video of Robert being buried alive.

This video was taken from a surveillance camera deployed on the perimeter wall of Mar-a-Lago.

Because of the distance and the darkness of night, the video appeared even blurrier when zoomed in.

However, his hair color, body shape, clothing, even his face shape, as well as the blood-red handprint on his chest, are still clearly visible.

Henry watched it repeatedly, even studying it frame by frame.

It was only at the very end that it was confirmed that Robert was indeed dead.

Meanwhile, Meng Chuan had already returned to his room.

Prince Fu suddenly left without saying goodbye, and no one knew where he went.

Meng Chuan didn't care where he went. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no training today, Meng Chuan immediately summoned Ying Die.

This is a rare opportunity; how could I waste this free time without doing something shameless?

"Young Master, it's better not to, as it's not good for your cultivation. How about Yingdie practices with you and teaches you some self-defense techniques?"

In Meng Chuan's room, Ying Die mustered up a lot of courage before she finally said no.

"Self-defense techniques are so boring, let's practice some bedroom arts..."

Meng Chuan looked at Ying Die with a mischievous grin.

"Young Master, how about this? You practice self-defense with me during the day, and Shadow Butterfly will sneak in again tonight... You can do whatever you want, Young Master..."
