"Mr. Wang, my son was foolish. I beg you, for my sake, spare him this once."
Seeing Er Zhu remain silent, Hao Boyi bowed respectfully to him again, pleading for mercy.
Upon witnessing this, Xing Tianqi's family exchanged bewildered glances. Hao Boyi and his son's reaction was unexpected.
After all, they had the backing of the Ito family; how could they possibly compromise with Mr. Wang?
"Enough with the act. Just tell me where Ito Katsuaki is?"
As Xing Tianqi's family pondered, Er Zhu's words pierced through Hao Boyi and his son's intentions. The two froze, a flicker of anger flashing in their shocked eyes.
Their plan was to join forces with the Ito family when he was off guard, but they hadn't expected to be seen through!
This Wang Er Zhu actually had some skills!
"Mr. Ito is in Kyoto, but you won't be able to find him!"
Hao Boyi's respectful and humble demeanor vanished instantly. He cast a contemptuous glance at Er Zhu, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
"Hmph, then tell him to prepare his coffin and wait for me."
Facing the disdain, Er Zhu did not get angry. He arrogantly uttered these words.
"Haha... What an arrogant brat! I will remember your words!"
Hao Boyi threw his head back and laughed heartily three times, then glared fiercely at Er Zhu before turning and leaving in a huff.
He had killed his son, yet he was so arrogant! This Wang Er Zhu was simply foolish to the extreme!
"Mr. Wang, you can't let them go! If they tell the Ito family what you said, you'll truly be finished!"
Seeing Hao Boyi and his son about to leave, Xing Tianqi immediately ran over, reminding Er Zhu with a look of worry.
"I want them to tell him. Don't worry, they're just a prominent family from a small region. I don't take them seriously."
Er Zhu smiled faintly, casting a dismissive glance in the direction Hao Boyi and his son had left. His eyes remained indifferent.
"But..."
Beside him, Xing Ningning was about to speak when Li Mei gently shook her head at her. Though Xing Ningning was puzzled, she had no choice but to remain silent.
"Thank you for coming to save us, Mr. Wang."
With everything over, Xing Ningning took Li Mei's hand and thanked her gratefully.
Although Er Zhu treated her well, she wasn't so narcissistic as to believe he was doing it because of her. She knew better than anyone his true purpose.
"We don't need to be so formal between us. Besides, you ended up like this because of me."
Li Mei shook her head slightly, her eyes flashing with a hint of apology as she looked at the chaotic scene of the Xing family.
If Xing Ningning hadn't helped her at Ziyun Hotel, the Liao family wouldn't have targeted the Xing family.
The Xing family, once a top prominent family in Kyoto, had now fallen!
"It's alright. If we fall, we fall. We can always start over. We were self-made anyway."
Seeing Li Mei's regretful and self-blaming expression, Xing Ningning forced a smile to comfort her.
Beside them, Xing Tianqi and his wife sighed and shook their heads. Looking at everything before them, their hearts ached.
Their daughter spoke lightly, but their Xing family no longer had the capital to start over!
"What does your family primarily deal in?"
Just as the Xing family was sinking into sorrow, Er Zhu suddenly spoke.
"The Xing family primarily deals in real estate and hotels!"
Before Xing Ningning could speak, Li Mei, as if struck by an idea, eagerly chimed in.
"Then I'll give you all the real estate and hotels I own in Kyoto."
As soon as Li Mei finished speaking, Er Zhu nodded slightly. His voice was very calm, as if he were discussing an ordinary matter, yet it left Xing Tianqi's family utterly stunned!
Wang Er Zhu's real estate and hotel businesses in Kyoto?
That was nearly half of all real estate and hotel industries in Kyoto, with a market value exceeding tens of billions!
Tens of billions in assets!
This was more than the Xing family's assets at their peak!
"Mr. Wang, you..."
Xing Tianqi swallowed hard in shock, wanting to ask in disbelief but not knowing where to begin.
"It's just tens of billions. Consider it my thanks for Miss Xing's care of my fiancée."
Er Zhu waved his hand dismissively, speaking as he drew Li Mei into his embrace.
Li Mei buried her face shyly in Er Zhu's arms. Er Zhu looked at her affectionately, the air filled with the scent of happiness.
However, Xing Ningning's heart felt a pang of bitterness. She lowered her head silently, a hint of desolation in her eyes.
"Ancient kings played with fire for a beauty's smile; today, Kyoto's richest man spends lavishly. These women are fortunate, but I am not among them..."
The more Xing Ningning thought, the more bitter and jealous she felt. Yet, in front of Li Mei, she couldn't show even a hint of it...
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Three unbelievable pieces of news sent the Kyoto elite society into an uproar!
The first was that the Xing family, a prominent family that had offended the Liao family, had not only survived but had also ascended to the ranks of top-tier wealthy families overnight!
The second was that the Liao family had inexplicably collapsed, and all of their assets had been acquired by Wang Er Zhu!
As a result, Wang Er Zhu had leaped from being Kyoto's richest man to China's richest man!
This outcome drove many from prominent families to frantically search for Er Zhu's whereabouts, but very few could find him!
At this moment, in a luxurious mountain villa.
Ito Katsuaki stood by the window, surveying the entire city of Kyoto, his face a picture of extreme displeasure!
That fool Liao Zhong had not only failed to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys but had also made Wang Er Zhu even wealthier!
With such an outcome, dealing with Wang Er Zhu would be exponentially more difficult!
"Rory, didn't you say last time that Mr. Flanring, the richest man in Gall, also wanted a piece of the pie? How much do you know about his capabilities?"
Ito Katsuaki took a deep breath, sipped his red wine, and turned to Rory.
"Mr. Flanring is not only the richest man in Gall but also the richest man in all the surrounding countries. His assets are immeasurable, and his businesses span all cities in China!"
On the sofa, Rory crossed his legs, swirling his wine glass, his eyes full of pride and arrogance.
In fact, Wang Er Zhu's vast fortune had long attracted the attention of prominent families from various countries, but they had lacked the means.
As Rory's best friend, Flanring, upon learning of his situation, was naturally unwilling to miss out.
After all, the lure of Wang Er Zhu's immense wealth was too great!
"Good, then let him come to China. We will plan our strategy together!"
As soon as Rory finished speaking, Ito Katsuaki nodded slightly, his eyes firm as he issued the command.
"Right, we should also take this opportunity to expand our business as much as possible and contact all the people we can reach!"
Just as Rory was about to make a call, Ito Katsuaki suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded him.
Wang Er Zhu's growth in power was too rapid. They had to be fully prepared to strike decisively!
Otherwise, if Wang Er Zhu retaliated, they would all be finished!
