Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Now it could be seen that this fellow Hong Dali was just too mean. He just wanted whatever Ko Gohon feared about.

Had it not been because Hong Dali wanted to use those 10 high-end limousines as taxis, Ko Gohon might not have made this second bet with him. Now that he asked for another 20 Prime Minister Grade limousines, once he opened his mouth…

It just had to be that Ko Gohon had to give them. With such a strong family background, he wouldn’t be so pathetic as to not even be able to part with 20 limousines, right?

Ko Gohon was despondent and raging, almost pulling all his hair out. But after all, he wasn’t thick-skinned enough to go back on his words. That wasn’t because he had a good moral quality, but because he really couldn’t lose face. Thus, eventually, he agreed. “OK, he wins! Let’s wait and see! I want to see until when can you still be so cocky.”

“En, then thank you, young master Gohon.” Ling Xiaoyi nodded. “When will you send them?”

“He’s only lucky.” Ko Gohon pointed at Min Feiyao who had her head lowered and was afraid to face others. “If this cheap woman didn’t cause my ‘Star Plan’ to be unable to be broadcasted, it’s unknown who would win or lose in this round of bet!”

“Oh,” This time, Ling Xiaoyi was curious. “Young master Gohon, do you not watch television often? That program, ‘Where Are We Going, Dad’ that our Young Master has filmed has broken through the 3.7% mark in viewership ratings today. Added with the previous viewership rating of iPartment, I think that our Young Master should still be able to win this bet.”

“OK, I’ll take it that he has really won this time!” Ko Gohon spitefully said, “But why isn’t he coming personally? Is he looking down on me by just sending a lackey over?!”

“Young master Gohon,” Ling Xiaoyi still maintained her smile as she said, “It’s not taking it winning, he really won. Currently, a few the programs with the highest viewership ratings in Heavenly State are practically all produced by our Young Master. Since the start, you were already destined to lose. Thus, our Young Master feels that it’s very silly to play with you on this.”

“Silly?! He dares to say that it’s silly?!” Ko Gohon was hopping mad. “He’s so arrogant with his words! I’ll count him lucky for these two rounds, we need to carry out the third round of bet! This time, we’ll place a bet of 50 million!”

Unexpectedly, Ko Gohon wanted to bet again. Ling Xiaoyi was silent for a while, then she took out her smartphone. “I can’t make decisions on this, I need to seek Young Master’s opinion.”

The call was received, and Hong Dali’s voice sounded. “Sister Xiaoyi, what’s the matter? Ko Gohon has gone back on his words?”

Hong Dali said this casually, but Ko Gohon couldn’t remain calm upon hearing this. He snatched Ling Xiaoyi’s smartphone at once. “How’s it possible that I’d go back on my words! Hong Dali, if you have the guts, come personally and talk to me face to face! This time, I want to place a 50 million bet!”

“I’m not interested in betting.” Hong Dali rejected without the slightest hesitation. “It’s just too silly to bet with a fellow like you, I think I’d better continue squandering. Young master Gohon, feel free to do as you please.”

“Rascal, you dare to look down on me!” Ko Gohon was greatly enraged. “I want to place a 50 million bet with you! 50 million!”

“Whatever, anyway, don’t forget about the 20 cars this time, heh heh.” Hong Dali grinned. “I’ve just eaten a little apple today and I feel so adorable and great! If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up!” After saying this, Hong Dali hung up the call at once!

The entire Presidential Suite instantly went silent.

“Rascal! He still acts cute with me!!!” Ko Gohon was so angry that he threw Ling Xiaoyi’s smartphone to the ground, and there was a clear sound of it landing on the ground—Ling Xiaoyi’s smartphone was a perfect-grade smartphone given by Hong Dali. Thus, nothing happened to the smartphone, and instead, the floor tiles had cracked…

“Young master Gohon, since I’ve already relayed all the messages, I’ll go back now. I won’t impose on you further.” Ling Xiaoyi was shocked, but she didn’t show it on her face as she gently turned around. “Goodbye, then.”

“Wait!” Ko Gohon shouted loudly in fury, “You want to leave just like that?”

Upon hearing Ko Gohon’s words, Ling Xiaoyi turned around and felt strange, asking, “Young master Gohon, do you have any other matters?”

“Of course!” Ko Gohon smiled connivingly. “Throw the few of them out! I have to teach him a lesson for just sending his lackeys over here! Humph humph, there are only three of you here, and even if you have your exoskeleton armors, so what?”

“Sister Xiaoyi,” Li Yang was a little skeptical. “Do we fight or flee?”

“We can’t let Young Master lose face!” Ling Xiaoyi instantly took out her exoskeleton armor and was ready to fight. She whispered, “Even if we can’t win, we can’t let them be too arrogant!!”

“Alright!” Upon hearing that they were going to fight, Li Yang and the other male lackey instantly wore their exoskeleton armors. “Everyone, let’s go all out!”

Then, once they started their moves, Ko Gohon was totally dumbfounded…

Ling Xiaoyi, Li Yang and the other male lackey were 100% loyal to Hong Dali. Under the effect of the halo, their full attributes had been increased by 50%. That meant that now, their Strength, Agility, and Reflexes were all at 100 points…

Though they didn’t know many martial arts moves, that didn’t stop their great strengths, fast movements, and fast reflexes.

Thus, 30 seconds later—

“Aiya, Sister Xiaoyi. After following Young Master for this period of time, why do I feel that I’ve become stronger and more agile, and my reflexes are faster as well?” Li Yang wondered. “Why is this so?”

“I… I’m not sure…” Ling Xiaoyi looked at her hand. “I feel that I’m much stronger, it’s really amazing. Young Master’s ability is really great, hehe.”

Ko Gohon looked at his bodyguards lying on the floor and was shocked until he was soaked in cold sweat.

He’d seen the fight just now. The other party only needed one punch and one kick and the bodyguard would collapse to the ground. He had more than 10 bodyguards at his side, but alas, they couldn’t even hold on for 30 seconds before kissing the ground, with none of them being able to stand up.

What the heck, where did Hong Dali get these talents? Is Heavenly State so scary now?!

This time, as Ling Xiaoyi was going to leave, Ko Gohon called her again. “Wait!”

“Young master Gohon, is there anything else?” Ling Xiaoyi was rather annoyed, and her tone was getting impatient. “Are you perhaps planning to sue us for hurting your bodyguards? But I think that young master Gohon wouldn’t do something so unbecoming of your status, right?”

“Ah, no no no, why would I do that.” This time, Ko Gohon had changed his expression into a fawning one. “I really didn’t know that you three were such capable people. How about this? I’ll double the salary that Hong Dali is paying you! Work for me in the future, how’s that?”

Had it been other people, they might have considered it.

But as Hong Dali’s number one lackey, Ling Xiaoyi naturally wouldn’t agree to this. She just gently smiled and then brought Li Yang and the other lackey out.

Before leaving, Ling Xiaoyi only said one sentence.

“Not everyone can be Young Master’s lackey. Not to mention double, even if it’s ten times as much, we won’t betray Young Master. Goodbye, young master Gohon.”

After Ling Xiaoyi and the other two had left, Ko Gohon sat heavily onto the sofa and aggressively rubbed his head!

“I’ve lost again, how is it possible I’ve lost again!” Ko Gohon really couldn’t explain this. “Why is he always so lucky?! I don’t believe it! Come here! Come here!”

The bodyguard lying on the floor said with a weak voice, “Young Master, what’s the matter…”

“How’s the online novel website?!” Ko Gohon kicked him. “Quickly get up! Or else I’ll break your leg, you useless trash!”

“Young… Young Master,” After suffering from a kick, that bodyguard’s face evidently twitched. “I think my bones are broken…”

“Alright.” Ko Gohon was dispirited. “You’re all papers tigers, aren’t you? Your bones broke just from a punch? Who would believe this?!” After saying this, Ko Gohon felt that though his underlings were quite useless, they wouldn’t lie to him. Thus, he raged, “Forget it, just lie on the ground and talk! How’s our online novel website?!”

“Currently, the online novel website is doing very well.” The bodyguard lay on the ground and trembled as he said, “We’ve already poached quite a lot of famous authors. I believe that very soon, its popularity will crush Hong Dali’s Zhong Dian website!”

“Damn it, hope that I’ll win this time!” Though he said so, Ko Gohon was entirely not confident about it.

…

Tianjing City center, Sangle Building.

“CEO Hong, good news!” The secretary, Xiao Liu reported to Hong Weiguo. “Good news! Our smartphone reading app has been developed! The database has already been linked with Zhong Dian website, and the recommendation slots have been arranged. There’s no problem with the internal testing. We can launch it anytime!”

“Oh? That’s really good news.” Ever since he’d met with Mayor Jiang, Hong Weiguo’s mood had been quite good. This rascal Dali is really lucky. This time, of course, it won’t be bad. He instantly decided, “Go and contact Mu Tie and Liu Yihui right away. We’ll start the advertisings at once. By then, each of our three families will get 25% of the profits, and the remaining will belong to the authors. Quickly go!”

“Understood, CEO Hong. I’ll go right away!”

…

“Young Master, things have gone wrong!” The bodyguard frantically ran into Ko Gohon’s Presidential Suite Number Four and anxiously said, “Young Master, something big has happened!” This bodyguard had previously been violently hit by Ling Xiaoyi and the others, and now his arm was still bandaged…

“Damn it!” Recently, Ko Gohon was rather sensitive. Once he heard, “Young Master, things have gone wrong”, he had a strong urge to blow his top. “What matter made you so flustered?! Can you act more stable and composed?!”

The bodyguard was aggrieved. “Young… Young Master, I want to be so too, but Hong Dali’s side… Hong Dali’s side…”

“What has happened on his side?!” Ko Gohon grabbed the bodyguard’s collar. “Damn you, if you talk like this again do you trust that I’ll trash you?!”

“Young Master, Hong Dali’s side has introduced a smartphone reading app!” Though he was strangled very badly by Ko Gohon, this bodyguard’s loyalty was still worthy of respect. “Young Master, that smartphone reading app has achieved more than 10 million installations since its launching! Now the readers can read novels even in the toilet! The subscriptions of authors on Zhong Dian website have skyrocketed!”
