CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 669: TWELVE DRAGON GODS! MONSTER-LEVEL GENIUS?

"Dad, what do we do?!"

"The special operatives raided my villa, and... all my secrets have been discovered!"

Nan Rui quickly fled from Hongyi Court, rushed back to the main bedroom of the Nan Family estate, without even catching his breath, he grabbed Nan Zhan’s arms, shaking them constantly, screaming in terror.

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhan’s expression changed instantly. He said solemnly, "Rui, don’t panic, tell me everything that happened in detail!"

"Dad, didn’t you tell me to handle those people in the basement to prevent exposure?"

"I... I originally bought a new knife, ready to deal with it. But when I got there... I saw special operatives raiding my villa, Ye Huan and Qin Ya were there too, and those women were rescued!"

"Which means, my deeds have been completely exposed!!"

"If the Ye and Li families come to make trouble now, what should I do if they knock me off!!"

"It’s all Pan Changjiang’s fault, that damn dog must have told Ye Huan about my affairs!!!"

Nan Rui continued shaking Nan Zhan’s shoulders with great force, his face full of fear.

"Rui, I told you, don’t panic first!" Nan Rui barked, then asked in a deep voice, "Tell me first, what’s the deal with this Pan Changjiang?"

Nan Rui didn’t hide anything, explaining how Pan Changjiang had been supplying him with high-quality "goods" for a long time, and how he, in return for Pan Changjiang, gifted the inconspicuous Nan Corporation’s building materials as a present, helping Pan Changjiang connect with Li Corporation, and the series of events that took place in the Reshiram Western Restaurant, all told to Nan Zhan.

Nan Zhan freed himself, placing his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the room, his face alternating between various expressions.

Five minutes later, his face finally settled into a calm expression!

"Rui, there’s no need to panic..."

"How can I not panic? If Ye Tiance storms over and knocks me off now, what should I do..." Nan Rui interrupted Nan Zhan in fear, but was again interrupted by his father.

"Listen to me!"

Nan Zhan waved a hand, speaking in a deep voice, "Rui, if Ye Tiance wanted to knock you off, he would have arrived at the Nan Family estate within ten minutes."

With those words said.

These ten minutes felt like years to Nan Rui, sitting on an old redwood chair, hands gripping the armrests, shaking uncontrollably, cold sweat dripping from his forehead onto the floor like water.

Once the ten minutes passed, the terror on Nan Rui’s face disappeared instantly, his expression became brilliant!

If Ye Tiance had intended to execute, he would have certainly arrived at the Nan Family estate by now!

He might have even started the execution!

But the Nan Family estate remained peaceful, with no sign of Ye Tiance or the Special Service Bureau.

Could it be...

Nan Rui’s gaze, filled with brilliance, turned towards Nan Zhan.

"Exactly."

Nan Zhan sneered, then said, "Ye Tiance and the Ye and Li families have started to fear our Nan Family! Because, behind the Nan Family is the Qin Family. In one week, the Nan-Qin marriage alliance, you’re the main character! Under these circumstances, how could Ye Tiance dare to storm into the Nan Family estate and knock you off? He should look in the mirror and see if he’s qualified; executing you would also mean executing the Prince Consort of the Qin Family, how ridiculous!"

"Haha, that’s right!"

Realizing it was a false alarm, Nan Rui slapped his chest a few times, exhaling deeply, his wildly beating heart calming.

At the same time, he felt unparalleled relief, a corner of his mouth curling up, "Who would have thought, the grand commander of the Special Service Bureau, Ye Tiance, knowing all my secrets, still doesn’t dare to knock me off, truly astonishing."

"Having background and status makes one so awesome. Even if Ye Tiance had ten lives, he wouldn’t dare mess with our Nan Family anymore!"

"Moreover, Rui, don’t be so jumpy in the future, you need to adapt to your current status."

Nan Zhan advised, "You are now the Prince Consort, personally chosen by the Qin Family — a super family of Dragon Gate. No one dares to harm you, understand?"

"Dad, I got it."

Nan Rui said, seeming to recall something, his face changing slightly, "Dad, Qin Ya was also at Hongyi Court and found out what I did."

"No problem. Your exposure is indeed troublesome, but it won’t affect the Nan-Qin marriage alliance much."

"By the way, speaking of which, Rui, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you all along."

Nan Zhan paused, his face becoming exceedingly solemn, "I have long harbored a suspicion in my heart."

"Why would the esteemed Qin Family of Dragon Gate actively seek our Nan Family for a marriage alliance, why would they want to marry Qin Ya to you? You must know, the Qin Family marrying us is a self-diminishing gesture."

"After thinking for so long, I finally came to a conclusion."

Nan Zhan said meaningfully, "Do you want to know why the Qin Family of Dragon Gate appointed you as the Prince Consort?"

Nan Rui began to surmise, his face lighting up, yet he still said, "Dad, stop keeping me in suspense!"

"The reason is simple!"

Nan Zhan spoke stunningly, "The Qin Family has their eyes on your martial arts talent!"

"Martial arts talent, me?" Nan Rui pointed at himself, unsure but impressed awe.

"Yes! I suspect, Rui, you might possess some potential that even you aren’t aware of, potential yet to be unlocked, which the Qin Family of Dragon Gate discovered through some channel."

"Otherwise, it simply cannot explain why the Qin Family sought our Nan Family."

"You must know, even powerful families like the Ye and Li families have never married into a super family of Dragon Gate. Because the super families of Dragon Gate value their son-in-law’s martial arts talent and prowess tremendously; it’s extremely difficult to gain their favor, and the Ye-Li families do not have such a presence. The Nan-Qin marriage alliance is truly unprecedented, and essentially the Qin Family is sticking to us, giving our Nan Family a huge backing, which is extraordinarily unusual!"

"The only explanation is that your martial arts talent, though undeveloped, is particularly exceptional, so exceptional that the Qin Family places great importance on it! The Qin Family wants to keep such a good son-in-law like you close, hence the urgent rush to marry Qin Ya to you!"

"I suspect, you may possess the martial arts talent of a Divine Dragon Guard, or even above the Divine Dragon Guard!"

Nan Zhan’s eyes gleamed sharply, and as he spoke, he loudly struck the table, making a resounding noise.

Beside him, Nan Rui couldn’t help but stand up, his body trembling slightly, his face exceedingly excited.

Indeed, his father’s analysis was truly spot on!

If he didn’t have some undeveloped, heaven-defying martial arts talent, why would the Qin Family be so eager to gift a daughter to the Nan Family?

I am truly a hidden martial arts genius of monstrous caliber!

In the future, I will at least become such a monstrous genius as part of the Divine Dragon Guard!

To know that every member of the Divine Dragon Guard is one of the top fifty martial artists in Huaxia!

As for those above the Divine Dragon Guard...

They’re enough to rival the Twelve Celestial Gods of the West, the Twelve Dragon Gods of the Dragon Gate!

This level of existence is enough to defy the heavens!

A single stomp could send tremors throughout Huaxia!

Making all Dark World forces tremble in fear!

It is precisely because of the existence of the Twelve Dragon Gods that the Twelve Celestial Gods of the Dark World dare not extend their reach into Huaxia!

Nan Rui gazed at his tightly clenched fist, swinging it fiercely in the air.

There wasn’t a big commotion, but he felt filled with power, immediately jumping with excitement.

"Dad, I’m a genius, hahaha!!!"

Seeing the excited and bouncing Nan Rui, Nan Zhan stroked his nonexistent beard, showing a gratified smile, feeling extremely proud of his son’s heaven-defying martial arts talent.

After a while, Nan Zhan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright Ruier, don’t get too excited. I guess after you and Qin Ya are wed, the Qin Family will take you to the Dragon Gate for martial training. What you need to do now is prepare for the marriage alliance and going to the Dragon Gate for martial training."

"Alright, I understand."

Nan Rui suppressed the urge to jump around, took a long breath, and said seriously, "Dad, I won’t let you down. I will definitely lead the Nan Family to true greatness!"

"Then tell me, what is the true pinnacle for the Nan Family?" Nan Zhan smiled with implication, making a "please" gesture.

"The Ye and Li families are no longer my targets."

"My target is the two super clans of the Dragon Gate — the Di and Qin families!"

"With such a heaven-defying martial arts talent, I will surely become a master at the level of the Divine Dragon Guard or even a Dragon God in the future. By then, the mere Ye and Li families can be wiped out with a flick of my finger!"

"My true goal is to lead the Nan Family to challenge for the status of a super clan in the Dragon Gate, standing shoulder to shoulder or even surpassing the Di and Qin families!"

These words of Nan Rui were filled with grand ambition, making Nan Zhan’s blood boil, and he slapped the table, shouting "Good!"

"Ruier, having you is a great fortune for the Nan Family, a blessing from the ancestors!" Nan Zhan’s face was full of glowing pride, as if he had already envisaged the glorious moment of the Nan Family destroying the Ye and Li families and surpassing the Di and Qin families!

"However, these will only be realized in some years."

"As you said, the most important thing now is marrying Qin Ya."

At this point, Nan Rui was indignant: "It’s a pity that at the moment I become a god, that dog Ye Huan will already be dead."

"Ruier, broaden your horizon, what’s a little Ye Huan? In a life like the protagonist of a novel, he’s at most a minor role, a mere insignificant shrimp, no need to be troubled by him."

Nan Rui entirely agreed with Nan Zhan’s words.

A little Ye Huan, his strength is just so-so.

Not much of anything.

In a week, he’ll die in the Nan Family compound, at the hands of the Sun God General — Nan Qingying.

Nan Rui’s eyes were filled with utmost disdain.

I will be one of the Twelve Dragon Gods in the future!

In novels, that’s akin to the protagonist, an existence that’s overwhelmingly powerful!

Ye Huan?

Haha, in a novel, he’s at most a stepping stone for the protagonist’s grandeur.

There’s absolutely no need to be angered by a stepping stone!

As for the green hat on his head...

Nan Rui didn’t mind anymore.

In his heart, Qin Ya was just a worn shoe.

A worn shoe played with by Ye Huan!

Nan Rui regarded Qin Ya as just another stepping stone!

In the future, upon achieving greatness, he would dismiss or even eliminate Qin Ya!

How could his rightful wife be a worn shoe!

Who is he?

A monstrous, heaven-defying genius!

His wife must be a young lady from the topmost family in the Dragon Gate!

Nan Rui licked his lips with his tongue.

Rumor has it that the eldest daughter of the Di Family is not only beautiful but also possesses the strongest martial talent in the Dragon Gate in a hundred years.

No man in the Dragon Gate is worthy of her, leading to her being mother-tongue single to this day.

Nan Rui felt that with his monstrous talent, being with the eldest daughter of the Di Family isn’t just fit but a match made in heaven!

"Eldest daughter of the Di Family, in this world."

"In terms of talent or aptitude, the only genius worthy of you might just be me, Nan Rui."

"You should await falling in love with me, this monstrous genius, hahaha!"

Nan Rui’s lips curved into a confident arc, laughing heartily in his heart!
