Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Encountering the Male Protagonist

"If you want to dream, go home and sleep! You know about the piano?"

Xu Ningbing was full of sarcasm. She herself only knew a thing or two.

She had learned as a child and could play a few simple pieces.

But she wasn't interested in the piano and didn't continue learning.

Instead, she had a soft spot for martial arts. Sometimes she even suspected she might have been meant to be a boy.

As for Xu Mu, he was always playing games as a child.

All the classes he was signed up for were just for show, and due to his status, the teachers didn't dare to discipline him.

"Sis, I feel like you look down on me a bit."

"Remove 'feel like'!"

Xu Ningbing folded her arms, the terrifying peaks in front of her seemed about to break free from the seal due to the compression of her arms.

"Fine! Then what happens if I manage to secure the order this time?"

Xu Mu initially didn't have much hope.

But knowing that the so-called piano master was going, he felt his chances had increased.

His Master-Level Pianist skill would be perfect for exchanging notes with that so-called master.

"That's right! Ningbing, what will you do if Xiao Mu gets the order?"

Xu Shou also chimed in with a smile.

"I..."

Xu Ningbing pointed at Xu Mu. "If you can get it, whatever you say should happen, will happen."

"Good."

Xu Mu stroked his chin, examining Xu Ningbing's alluring figure. "Since I can remember, you've never smiled at me. If I get the order, you have to smile at me whenever you see me from now on, and you also have to proactively greet me."

"I accept on Ningbing's behalf."

Xu Shou smiled and waved his hand. "It's getting late, Xiao Mu, you should hurry over."

"Okay."

Xu Mu turned and left.

Xu Ningbing didn't say much more. In any case, Xu Mu definitely wouldn't get it.

"I'm going to get busy too."

She left a sentence and walked out.

Xu Shou watched them leave and leaned back on his leather chair, a little helpless.

When he took in Xu Ningbing, Xu Mu was still in the womb. However, Xu Shou knew it was a boy through a check-up.

His original plan was to raise a wife for his son.

If Xu Ningbing married Xu Mu in the future, they would truly become one family.

But he had spoiled Xu Mu too much, raising him to be the way he was.

Conversely, Xu Ningbing was very hardworking and was already capable of holding her own.

The relationship between the siblings was very poor.

As a father, he certainly couldn't force the two to be together.

He finally gave up on that idea.

Elder Master Ye had once helped Xu Shou. With the collapse of the Ye family, Ye Tong and Ye Yu became orphans.

Xu Shou allowed Ye Tong to marry Xu Mu in order to take them in.

But his true intention was still for Xu Ningbing to become Xu Mu's person.

If the siblings weren't united, the Xu Group would fall apart after his death.

...

Based on his memory, Xu Mu drove to the suburbs outside Jiang City.

There was a manor there, which was the Su family residence.

When Xu Mu arrived, he saw that the parking lot outside the manor was filled with luxury cars.

It seemed many companies wanted to try their luck this time.

He parked his car and walked towards the manor.

Just then, black text appeared before his eyes.

[Attention! Detecting arch-enemy nearby]

"Arch-enemy? What the hell?"

Xu Mu scanned left and right with his God's Eye and finally fixed his gaze on a young man.

The young man was dressed in ordinary clothes, about 1.8 meters tall, with a firm, rugged appearance and cropped hair, looking very energetic.

Name: Lin Yang

Identity: Male Protagonist of The Soldier King Returns

Fate Power: 1520

Destiny Level: 15 (Max Level 10)

Note: Protagonists are independent of the Destiny Level. The host and the protagonist are arch-enemies and should not reconcile.

Xu Mu was completely bewildered after reading the information. How could there be another protagonist?

Before he could say anything, black text appeared before his eyes.

[Host faces a choice]

[Surrender to the protagonist, System disappears. OR, become a Fated Villain and seize the protagonist's Fate]

Xu Mu immediately chose to become the Fated Villain upon seeing the options.

What a joke!

He was currently relying on the System to deal with the Dragon King's return. How could he give it up?

[Host has made a choice. Methods to deal with the protagonist, as well as the protagonist's information, have been integrated into memory]

Xu Mu felt the new memories in his mind and showed a slight smile.

As expected of a protagonist, he was indeed difficult to deal with.

The protagonist's Destiny Level was too high to be killed directly.

Xu Mu needed to lower the opponent's Destiny Level to Level 10, bringing him back to a normal state, before he could be eliminated.

If he were to attack the protagonist now, even if he shot him, someone might suddenly fall down and take the bullet for the protagonist.

Protagonists were the kind of creatures who wouldn't die even if they were pushed off a cliff; they would even gain an opportunity.

As for how to lower his Destiny Level, it was very simple.

There were two methods.

First, by making the protagonist suffer setbacks, his Fate could be affected.

Second, the protagonist's Fate and his main supporting characters were intertwined.

Take his current strongest enemy, the Dragon King, for example.

His sister, Xu Ningbing, was part of his harem.

According to the original work, Xu Ningbing was completely conquered by the Dragon King's power and eventually gave the entire Xu Group as a dowry to the Dragon King.

If Xu Ningbing was not conquered by the Dragon King's power and didn't give him the Xu Group,

Then the Dragon King's control over the Jiangbei business world would be hindered.

His Fate Power would also be consumed.

Simply put, to disrupt the protagonist's Fate,

One must make the people who originally belonged to him turn against him or become strangers.

"Beautiful woman, you have a lovely figure. Shall we exchange contact information?"

Lin Yang showed a lewd smile at this moment, looking at a woman in a gorgeous dress.

"Are you sick!"

The woman coldly snorted and immediately walked towards the manor.

Lin Yang looked at the woman's retreating back and showed a faint smile.

Xu Mu was observing from a distance. He already knew the entire plot regarding Lin Yang.

Lin Yang, simply put, was a rogue soldier who relied on his own strength to commit misdeeds.

When he saw a beautiful woman, he would proactively flirt, find a way to take advantage, or even play with them.

If he encountered someone who disliked him and moved to attack him, that person would only become a stepping stone for him to show off.

This kind of protagonist was more of a villain than the actual villain.

Xu Mu felt no psychological pressure in harvesting his Fate.

It was a good chance to practice on this person first. After all, he was only a powerful mercenary from overseas.

But his true enemy was the Dragon King.

The Dragon King had three thousand such beings under his command.

The Dragon King's Destiny Level was certainly much higher than his.

According to the plot, Lin Yang came to the Mu family to collect his harem this time.

Lin Yang, having lost all his brothers, no longer wanted to be a mercenary and planned to return, marry a wife, and make his fortune in the big city.

On the plane, he happened to meet Su Weiye's daughter, Su Yaya.

It was known that the two were middle school classmates, and Su Yaya was Lin Yang's "white moonlight."

But how could the ordinary him dare to pursue this wealthy young lady?

After graduating from middle school, he didn't go to school anymore. Instead, he went overseas for training and became a mercenary.

He hadn't expected to meet his former "white moonlight" upon his return.

Lin Yang flirted with her and learned that she didn't have a boyfriend.

This was exactly what he wanted.

He investigated the Su family through his connections.

He decided that, starting today, this "white moonlight" would become his woman.

He used to be ordinary and didn't dare to pursue her.

But now, he was called the King of Mercenaries!

Lin Yang noticed someone looking at him, so he immediately turned his head and saw Xu Mu's figure.

He narrowed his eyes, feeling a bit strange.

Why did he feel so irritated when he saw Xu Mu for the first time?

"Young Master Xu! You finally made it. I thought you weren't coming."

Just then, a young man with dyed yellow hair ran out of the manor.

He grabbed Xu Mu's arm and said with a look of distress, "I'm sorry, Young Master Xu, I messed things up."

Based on his memory, Xu Mu knew this person was Su Ruiming, the son of Su Weiye.

"Young Master Su, what happened?"

Xu Mu asked with a curious expression.
