I'm A Baller - Chapter 438
Chapter 438: Emperor Wang
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The timing of Huang Yiqing’s attack of Wang Yan was just right.
Huang Yiqing had just finished pushing the blame and clarified half of the entire matter. The negative emotions of the losers had just begun to shift and had not yet formed into a large-scale anti-Wang Yan wave.
No matter what Wang Yan had wanted to do at such a delicate time, it would have been alright.
Chu Xin, Liu Ye, Zhou Jianwu, Chun Guang, Xia Yu, Fu Sheng, Xiao Fang, and the more active core members of the club’s younger generation formed a semicircle behind Wang Yan. They escorted the new champion through the door and looked coldly at Huang Yiqing.
That gaze was filled with anger and disdain.
Huang Yiqing’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, a young man suddenly rushed out from the crowd and charged straight at Wang Yan.
“F*ck! Was it you who drove the car just now?”
He sprinted. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed in front of Wang Yan and reached out to grab his collar.
It was all too sudden. No one could react in time. The two of them were about to get entangled together.
At this moment, Wang Yan turned his head slightly and looked into the young man’s eyes.
The moment their eyes met, the young man seemed to see an illusion. Wang Yan wore a dragon robe and was sitting on a throne. His indifferent eyes were filled with incredible powers.
Suddenly, the illusion rose up and the emperor’s aura surged over. It instantly filled the heavens and the earth.
The young man’s movements suddenly froze. Though his fingertip was less than 20 centimeters away from Wang Yan, he couldn’t grab anything.
Jianwu finally reacted and jumped in front of Wang Yan. He shouted, “What are you doing?”
“I…”
What am I doing again?
The illusion in the young man’s mind flashed out. After a moment of absent-mindedness, he no longer remembered it. However, the inexplicable fear and dread that he felt became clear.
Alright, actually, I just wanted to come over and say hello.
Unfortunately, Wang Yan did not give him the chance to even talk. He lightly glanced over and then ignored him. He brushed past the young man’s body and walked towards Huang Yiqing.
In the eyes of outsiders, the scene in front of them was extremely strange.
Wang Yan did not move his hands or shake his shoulders. With just a glance, he was able to subdue the young man. It was an understatement. It was simply impossible to describe the feeling of being lost with words.
The legendary killing intent?
Young Master Hong hurriedly called out, “Xiao Ha, come back.”
Then, he looked at Wang Yan in fear.
Brother… could he be a killer?
Of course not.
The current Wang Yan had become an emperor.
[ Acting tough ]
[ Possession card, used 2/3 times ]
[ You can summon an ancient king who was best at acting tough to possess you, obtaining the corresponding aura and ability to act tough. ]
[ Duration: 10 minutes each time. ]
[ Candidates you can choose: Wang Bi, Song Huizong, Zhang Daoling. ]
The god-tier cards that Wang Yan had kept until now had finally been used. Now, it was Song Huizong who possessed him.
Before pushing open the door, the young master had already carefully thought about what kind of state he would use to turn the tables.
Godfather Wang?
Although he was very good at acting, he was obviously unable to solve the problem at hand.
One-on-one, the godfather could suppress any ordinary second-generation rich, but it was basically impossible for him to suppress the top few.
Not to mention, the group in front of them was made up of those from the top.
The domestic environment was destined to stay as they were — no matter how fierce the criminals were, the police couldn’t form a real force to deter them.
No one would want to go up against someone who is desperate without a sustainable organization, a fixed income, and upper-class influence.
So at the end of the day, you’re just a piece of trash. Even if you might occasionally become a big shot, you still have no future.
If there’s one, then there’s one. All the so-called big brothers are weeds that can be destroyed with a flip of the hand of someone from a city-level administrative unit.
It’s easy to scare ordinary people, but if you’re a little more powerful, you can even scare some of the rich.
And above that…
Life is good, so don’t think too hard.
With Brother Fugui’s sober mind, it was impossible for him to act like a godfather in front of a group of top rich kids. He had to have different strategies to deal with different people, or it would be a joke.
After thinking for a while, he immediately thought of the Acting Tough Card.
The effect was strong enough, but it only lasted for 10 minutes, so it was a bit useless. No matter how big the occasion was, it still wouldn’t be able to hold off the entire audience, while using it on a smaller occasion was not worth it.
Wasn’t today the perfect day to use it?
With a flash of his mind, the aura was fully unleashed, and Ha became the unlucky one to take this aura head-on.
Originally, he was full of anger from the collision. Relying on the advantage of having more people, he wanted to demonstrate his strength to Wang Yan. In the end, before he could figure out what had happened, he had been left behind and disregarded by Wang Yan, the emperor.
After such an unexpected incident, the other young masters were also shocked, and for a moment, they were all a little hesitant.
In the end, it was still Wang Siming who made the first move. He remembered Wang Yan’s hatred and hated Wang Yan for making him lose another vote, so he took the initiative to fight back.
“Young Master Wang is so impressive! What, you still don’t feel satisfied after sweeping the gambling pool, but you still want to step on our feet and make a name for yourself?”
Within those ten minutes, Wang Yan commanded everyone’s respect.
No matter how muddle-headed Song Huizong was, he was still the emperor of a country. His status and authority were higher than even the current president.
In this world of Song Huizong’s, the emperor was considered everyone’s father.
If he really wanted to argue, he could easily make anyone angry.
However, Wang Siming was clearly a troublemaker. Today’s focus was not on him at all. Wang Yan was clear and did not want to waste time with him.
Thus, he said lightly, “Our personalities are not compatible and we can not be friends. However, in terms of business, the foundation of our cooperation is still there. Between the Panda and the royal court, I hope you can think clearly about who is more lacking.”
“Today, you can quietly watch the show. Later, when we find an opportunity, let’s sit down and talk through this in detail, okay?”
Although he had asked if it was okay, his gaze had already moved away from Wang Siming’s face, revealing strong confidence that the conversation would stop there.
If it were in the past, given Wang Siming’s violent temper, he would definitely get pissed off by this, which would not be good!
What is rationality?
All of you have to give way to my mood!
But today, Wang Yan’s aura was so strong that it actually forced Wang Siming to use his brain.
‘What happened today has nothing to do with me…’
‘I heard from Li Yixu that Wang Yan seems to be willing to invest in Panda…’
‘Panda is really short of money right now…’
‘Money is secondary. The live streamer of the royal court is urgently needed by all the platforms…’
“I’m just a bystander. There’s no need for me to stand in the front to speak up for those idiots…”
After thinking through it, though Wang Yan’s words were not pleasant to hear, they were actually very reasonable.
The very process of thinking through all of this actually took three or four seconds. By the time he had reacted, it was too late for him to say anything to Wang Yan.
Thus he simply did not say anything, indicating his tacit agreement.
To outsiders, it seemed as if he had been silenced.
Those who were familiar with Wang Siming’s temper widened their eyes in shock.
There were many people who dared to insult Wang Siming. Given everyone’s wealth, no one needed to ask anyone for anything. A difference in net worth of 5 billion or 10 billion was nothing. Their statuses were still considered equal.
Huang Yiqing had insulted Wang Siming, Fatty Fu, and Yin Qianyi. He did not show any mercy because he knew clearly in his heart that they could do nothing to him.
Similarly, if you could attack others, they could attack you.
Who was Wang Siming afraid of?
When he had a temper, he would scold you till you cried!
Now, he was being suppressed by another youngster with an even stronger attitude?
Those young masters’ eyes were immediately filled with deep vigilance. They stared at Wang Yan and sized him up, but they didn’t want to make a sound.
This guy was a bit evil. Let’s see, don’t be anxious.
In just a few moments, Emperor Wang had dealt with the commotion. He could finally relax slightly and turned his attention to Huang Yiqing.
Huang Yiqing looked at the mystical scene in front of him and was similarly stunned.
What did I want to say just now?
I have forgotten.
Just as he was in a daze, Chu Xin suddenly threw a walkie-talkie over.
Huang Yiqing jumped in fright and caught it in a flurry. Then, he heard Chu Xin’s questions with a cold smile.
“Young Master Huang, you can even twist the truth when you open your mouth. Why are you so silent now?”
The entire room instantly fell silent.
Yo, is this an internal strife?
Chu Xin was a famous little princess within the second generation circle of Shanghai. Not only was she outstanding in the club, but she was also quite famous in the entire world of Shanghai.
Those who were prettier than she was were not as rich as her.
Those who were richer than her were not as young and beautiful as her.
She was an only child, had a good temper, and was not interested in business. This made her even more popular than Princess Liu.
Wang Siming knew her. Jiang and Li, who were both originally from Shanghai, knew her. Even Yin and Chen, who were both not in the Shanghai Circle, had heard of her.
When she opened her mouth, everyone was shocked and suspicious.
What had happened?
The issues from the outside have not been settled yet, and now you guys want to start an internal one?
Jiang, Li, Fu, Yin, Hong, and the others looked at each other in secret. They shrank back into the sofa, intending to just watch the show.
We won’t play around anymore!
Start your performance!
..
Huang Yiqing complained a lot to himself, but he didn’t dare provoke Chu Xin in real life.
It was one thing to scold a man, but it was completely another to scold a princess.
There were too many people in the club who were willing to protect Chu Xin.
In addition, Liu Ye, Xu Jiao, Sister Fang, and all her other close friends were willing to go up against those who dared to provoke Chu Xin. They would be completely deserted by everyone with all these people against them.
He rolled his eyes and looked for Wang Yan. “Brother, aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”
“Ha!”
Chu Xin and Liu Ye laughed out of anger.
Wang Yan took the initiative to step forward and stood in front of Huang Yiqing. He looked down towards Huang Yiqing’s direction from above.
The young master did not look directly at Huang Yiqing. Instead, he stared at Chen Kai who was beside him.
Silence. One second, two seconds…
Chen Kai was feeling suffocated by the mountain-like pressure. It was as if this person standing in front of him was not human at all, but a symbol of iron will.
In less than three seconds, he started to feel helpless and panicked.
Big Brother, what are you trying to do?
When three seconds were up, Wang Yan suddenly smiled. “Brother Chen, thank you for your trust in me. 40 million… it feels heavy.”
“Ah?”
Chen Kai was stunned and did not react. “Ah… no, you’re welcome…”
After he answered in a daze, there was an uproar around him.
Betting 40 million on Wang Yan?
Where did you get the confidence and money from?
Chen Kai finally realized the consequences of his reaction. In an instant, his forehead was covered in a cold sweat, and his mind was even more chaotic.
Wang Yan left him alone after that. He just waved his hand lightly. “Please make way, I’ll have a chat with brother Huang.”
“Ah… okay.”
Chen Kai felt as if he had been pardoned. He immediately jumped up and made way for Wang Yan.
Sitting across from the seven other young masters places a lot of pressure in and of itself. In the end, Wang Yan came out and crushed Xiao Ha. He walked over in a dignified manner.
Chen Kai felt that he really could not hold it in!
The guard was terrified. Huang Yiqing had no choice but to face Wang Yan directly and sat next to him.
Young Master Wang sat upright. He was stable and his back was straight like a pine tree.
Huang Yiqing leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. He turned his head to look at Wang Yan’s expression.
“Brother, what’s the meaning of this?”
Huang Yiqing was uncertain of what had happened and decided to start probing.
Wang Yan’s ultimate card only had 10 minutes of effect. Now that he had already used half of it left, he really did not have time to beat around the bush.
Fortunately, there was no need to talk about what was right and wrong in today’s matter.
You’re scheming with me and trying to play dirty.
I’m different.
I don’t need any tricks. I’m going to crush you openly. Can you stop me?
“I’m not here to explain anything. I’m here to tell you four things.”
Young Master Wang, who had transformed into a true emperor, did not have an imposing aura, but he still felt unapproachable. He spoke slowly. Everyone around him pricked up their ears to listen.
“First, you used 5 million yuan appearance fee and 20% of the club’s betting fund to invite me to participate. I agreed, and the deal was established.”
“The club has several hundred members, and the total amount invested in me is 20 million. Chu Xin, Liu Ye, Jianwu, Chun Guang, Xia Yu, Fu Sheng, and Xiao Fang, the seven of them account for a little over 18 million.”
“The remaining people, including you, have invested less than two million.”
“And the total amount invested in me by outsiders was… 66 million yuan.”
“I’m very unhappy. I feel that you guys don’t respect me enough.”
Huang Yiqing was terrified and his face was ashen.
How did you know?
Xiao Hu should have kept it a secret. You wouldn’t even have known until the day the money was split!
Where’s Xiao Hu?
F*ck!
Xiao Hu and his colleagues were huddled in a corner, leisurely drinking champagne with a half-smile on their faces.
Huang Yiqing could not understand. His heart was in a mess, and he subconsciously tried to explain, “I didn’t…”
Just as he started, Wang Yan turned his head and looked over. The murderous aura was concentrated in his gaze and had transformed into the aura of an emperor, instantly interrupting Huang Yiqing’s quibble.
After staring at Huang Yiqing, Wang Yan continued.
“Secondly, the mood is the mood, and rules are rules. I’ve decided to respect the rules instead of my mood.”
“220 million is all the cash we could gather in half an hour. You should feel honored. We’ll accompany you.”
“As for the few people who were accidentally injured, such as Chen Kai, I believe they will also respect the rules.”
The surrounding people were dumbstruck.
F*ck your rules!
To flip the table and make it sound so fresh and refined, where is your confidence coming from?
It was coming from the fact that this Huang Yiqing was a wolf that had been annihilated.
220 million, how dare you?
However, the truth was that not only did he dare, but he had actually also won.
The winner was king, and he had no choice but to accept it.
Wang Yan the emperor was not affected by the outside world at all. Whether it was the surprise, the shock in their eyes, or the whispers that he could not help but hear, they were all not worth mentioning.
“Third, after I’m done talking about the rules, I’ll take care of my mood.”
“Although I won the money, I’m still very unhappy, so… I’m not playing anymore.”
“From today onwards, I officially quit the SSCC. From now on, you can not use my pictures to do any internal or external publicity.”
“I sincerely advise you not to give me a chance to lose my temper.”
Huang Yiqing’s expression could not be described. He looked a little scared.
Wang Siming did not scare him. Fatty Fu and Yin Qianyin were even worse. Yin Qianyin was even more cunning than the others and did not show any mercy. However, at this moment, even he was really trembling.
One of the reasons was Wang Yan’s aura of an emperor. It applied a lot of pressure.
Another reason was Wang Yan’s ruthlessness.
220 million!
Who would dare to be so reckless?
This person was f*cking mentally ill. He was crazy!
After saying three out of the four things in his mind, a smile suddenly appeared on Wang Yan’s face.
“Fourth, you still have to pay me back what you owe me.”
“You don’t need to care about their commission. What you have to hand over to me is the 5 million appearance fee and 20% of the 2.37 million betting amount. The total comes out to 5.474 million yuan.”
“Bank transfer is fine, thank you for your patronage.”
Huang Yiqing was so aggrieved that he almost coughed up blood.
You f*cking cheated me out of hundreds of millions. And now you dare to chase after me for a mere 5.474 million before I even had time to settle that score with you?
F*ck you!
I don’t care about anything else, but I definitely will not give this 5 million to you!
Huang Yiqing was extremely angry, and although he was indeed afraid of Wang Yan at that moment, he still made up his mind to renege on the debt.
This money was different from normal commercial loans. If he didn’t want to give it, no one would be able to get it.
You have no evidence, how dare you make such a request?
A young master suddenly squeezed out from the crowd — Li Yixu.
Young Master Li walked quickly to Wang Yan and handed him a piece of paper, a pen, and a box of printing mud.
“Come, sign it, Brother Huang.”
Wang Yan smiled and pushed the piece of paper in front of Huang Yiqing. He looked down and almost coughed up blood again.
A loan agreement!
The second clause was —
The term of the loan is 10 years. From the date Party A issues the above-mentioned confirmation, the interest yearly will be calculated based on a bank loan interest rate, which is 7.5% per year.
Fatty Fu walked over with his hands behind his back. He glanced at the contract and burst out laughing. Then, he gave Wang Yan a thumbs up. “You’re loyal!”
Huang Yiqing almost went crazy from anger.
Why are you two joking with me here?
You’re loyal? You f*cking F*cking F*CKING F*CK!
“What if I refuse to sign it?”
Huang Yiqing slammed the table and stood up. His eyes were bloodshot as he asked.
The 10 minutes for Wang Yan’s emperor’s aura was almost up. He suddenly leaned back on the sofa and lazily crossed his legs.
“If you refuse to sign it, you won’t be able to walk out of this door today.”
The sudden change in temperament and style was getting more and more… surprising.
