Chapter 84: I Will Take Care of Your Wife and Children!
Subsequently, Shen Anyu and Han Qi arrived at a private VIP room in the depths of Dream Bar.
The room was soundproofed, luxurious, and dimly lit.
Shen Anyu gestured for the door to be closed.
Han Qi, still wearing the Bronze Dragon King mask, cupped his fists and bowed deeply towards Shen Anyu, his voice filled with solemn gratitude.
"Young Master Shen, you have shown me great kindness in saving my life tonight. Whatever it is you need, as long as I, Han, can do it, I will certainly accomplish it!"
Han Qi's mind was racing, calculating the potential benefits of this encounter.
If he could win over Shen Anyu, the Young Master of the [Yanxia Shen Family]...
Then dealing with the [Emperor Capital Han Family] and overthrowing his elder brother, Han Xiu, would not just be like adding wings to a tiger. It would be like strapping a rocket to a dragon!
It would be taking off from the ground straight to the heavens!
With such strong support, he wouldn't have to pretend to be a useless son-in-law of the Liu family anymore. He wouldn't have to endure the humiliation, the foot-washing, the scorn.
By then, he could openly bring happiness to his wife, Liu Qingyue. He could give her a grand, romantic wedding that every woman in the world would envy and be jealous of!
'Qingyue... I, Han Qi, said that I am a Dragon among men. I will prove it. I will bring you happiness, and I will make my father-in-law and mother-in-law enjoy glory and be proud of me…'
In Han Qi's mind, the graceful figure of his wife, Liu Qingyue, appeared. He couldn't help but curve his lips beneath the mask.
A playful, knowing smile flashed in Shen Anyu's eyes as he watched Han Qi's subtle body language. He leaned back on the plush sofa, swirling a glass of wine.
He slowly said, "Mr. Han. I plan to stay in Modu for a long time."
"I need a black glove to do things for me. To handle some... inconvenient matters. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Han Qi's brow, beneath the mask, immediately furrowed.
'Does Shen Anyu want to subdue me? To make me a subordinate?'
He had originally intended to cooperate with Shen Anyu as an ally, to win him over. But he hadn't thought about surrendering to Shen Anyu.
Sons of Destiny are all arrogant beings. They are born to lead, not to follow. How could they willingly submit to others?
Even if Han Qi appeared to be a useless son-in-law of the Liu family on the surface, he was secretly the decisive and ruthless overlord, Dragon King Mr. Han! He ruled the night!
Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!
Thinking of this, Han Qi shook his head. A deep, authoritative voice, unlike his usual weak and timid demeanor, rang out from behind the mask.
"Young Master Shen, you have shown me great kindness, Mr. Han. If there's anything, just give the order, and I, Mr. Han, can handle it for you as a favor!"
"But… as for being a subordinate..."
Shen Anyu smiled faintly, cutting him off.
"Mr. Han, don't be in a hurry to refuse. I have a suggestion; you might as well listen."
Han Qi looked at Shen Anyu with surprise. He politely said, "Young Master Shen, please speak. I, Mr. Han, am all ears!"
Shen Anyu leaned lazily on the sofa, his eyes gleaming.
He slowly said, "I plan to unify the [Dark World] of Southern Yanxia. And I need a capable helmsman to run it!"
Speaking of this, Shen Anyu looked meaningfully at Han Qi.
"With the support of the [Yanxia Shen Family] and the [Yanxia An Family]... Mr. Han, do you think this matter is difficult?"
When Han Qi heard Shen Anyu's words, he was first stunned. Then, after reacting, his face flushed red beneath the mask, showing excitement and agitation.
Unify the Dark World of Southern Yanxia?
With the support of the two behemoths, the Yanxia Shen Family and the Yanxia An Family... unifying the Southern Underworld would not be easy. It would be inevitable.
It would be like sweeping away withered leaves, breaking through bamboo. It would be not difficult at all.
And if he became the helmsman of the entire Dark World of Southern Yanxia...
Such immense power and authority would be enough to overturn the [Emperor Capital Han Family]!
It would be enough to defeat his great enemy Han Xiu!
It would be enough to reclaim the position of Family Head of the Emperor Capital Han Family!
By that time, he wouldn't have to continue to endure hardships and conceal his identity. He could stand in the light.
He could make his wife, Liu Qingyue, happy. He could make his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who looked down on him, kneel and beg for forgiveness.
Han Qi took a deep breath, with difficulty calming the excitement and exhilaration in his heart.
He tentatively asked Shen Anyu, "Young Master Shen... what do you mean?"
Shen Anyu looked at Han Qi with a smile.
He slowly said, "I think you are very suitable for this helmsman position."
"In just three years, you have become the emperor of Modu's Dark World, almost a true Dragon Head. You have talent."
"I value talent the most. And you are talent. How about being my right-hand man? My vanguard?"
Beneath the Bronze Dragon King mask, Han Qi's face became unpredictable. He was hesitating to the extreme.
He was unwilling to submit to others; he preferred to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. He wanted to be the king.
But Shen Anyu's proposal was truly too tempting. It was a shortcut to his dreams.
With Shen Anyu's support, backed by the Yanxia Shen Family and the Yanxia An Family, he would become the helmsman of Southern Yanxia's Dark World. He would possess the power to overturn the Emperor Capital Han Family.
It wasn't that he lacked self-control. It was that the offer was simply too good! Truly good!
"Young Master Shen... if I, Mr. Han, refuse... what will you do?"
Han Qi suddenly asked, testing the waters.
He was still somewhat unwilling to submit.
Shen Anyu's smile remained unchanged. But his eyes turned cold.
He said with a smile, "Nothing much. I'll support someone else. I think that Black Dragon is quite good; he knows what's what! He knows how to kneel."
Beneath the Bronze Dragon King mask, Han Qi's face immediately turned ashen, extremely gloomy!
Black Dragon!
He was also a well-known big shot in Modu's Dark World. And he was extremely at odds with Han Qi, repeatedly causing trouble in the past. They were mortal enemies.
Just now, Black Dragon forced his way into Dream Bar. If not for Shen Anyu's intervention, their [Dragon King Society] would probably have been finished!
Han Qi's [Heavenly Wind Draw] had missed. He was powerless to fight again.
If Shen Anyu supported Black Dragon... then after Black Dragon's power grew with the Shen Family's resources... he would definitely not let them off easily.
The Dragon King Society would be annihilated.
Han Qi looked at the smiling Shen Anyu in front of him. His heart went cold.
This Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family, who seemed approachable and polite, was not some good-for-nothing playboy. He was a ruthless person. A schemer.
If he refused, the consequences would be unimaginable. He might be finished before he could even take revenge on Han Xiu or make his wife, Liu Qingyue, happy!
"Hmph!"
Han Qi snorted coldly in his heart.
'At worst, I will pretend to comply for now. I will use him.'
'Once my strength grew, once I reclaimed the position of Family Head of the Emperor Capital Han Family, and once I had enough power... I would then establish my own independence and break free from Shen Anyu's shackles.'
After completing his deliberations, Han Qi cupped his fists. He bowed deeply, saluting towards Shen Anyu.
"Little Han pays his respects to Young Master Shen. From now on, I will follow Young Master Shen and be at his beck and call!"
[Ding! Child of Destiny Han Qi has temporarily submitted, his Aura suppressed! Plundering +30,000 Destiny Points!]
Shen Anyu raised an eyebrow, and his heart immediately rejoiced.
Previously, when Han Qi was publicly reprimanded by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he only plundered +3 Destiny Value. But now he had thirty thousand Destiny Value.
This made Shen Anyu discover some tricks to deal with Han Qi: severely affecting the opponent's destiny trajectory would yield more Destiny Value.
Shen Anyu chuckled and patted Han Qi's shoulder, acting like a benevolent lord.
"Good. With your help, Little Han, I'm like a tiger with wings!"
What Shen Anyu had said before was not false; he indeed wanted to unify the Dark World of Southern Yanxia to work for him.
It would also make it easier to find and counter other Sons of Destiny.
Although the Sons of Destiny who had appeared so far—Xia Liu, Wei Yun, Han Qi, and Qi Fan—were no match for Shen Anyu...
However, one who does not plan for eternity is insufficient to plan for a moment!
If powerful and terrifying Sons of Destiny were to appear in the future—such as those from the [Immortal Emperor Rebirth] genre—preparations must be made early.
At the very least, they must be discovered at the first opportunity, and no room for growth should be given to them.
And Sons of Destiny, with their destiny blessed, have everything go smoothly. Is there any better subordinate than this?
Shen Anyu's smile was playful; taking Sons of Destiny as his subordinates was truly a novel experience.
When Han Qi went outside Modu to fight for Shen Anyu... Shen Anyu would help take care of Han Qi's wife, Liu Qingyue.
This was also Cao Gong's virtue: "I will raise your wife; you need not worry!"
"Oh, right, Little Han," Shen Anyu said casually.
"We have this kind of relationship now. So why are you still wearing that Bronze Dragon King mask?"
"I'm also very curious... what does the Dragon King Mr. Han, who shakes Modu's Dark World, look like?"
"Take off the mask and let me see!"
Upon hearing Shen Anyu's casual remark, Han Qi's expression changed drastically beneath the mask…
