"Young Master, you... what are you doing...?"

The Wei brothers were completely dumbfounded.

"Get out of my way!"

The members of the Qi Family were busy with important matters and had no time to deal with the Wei brothers. Wei Tianqiang didn't dare waste their time and quickly stepped aside.

"Young Master... Young Master Chen! Qi Lei was wrong, please spare me..." Qi Lei immediately knelt before Chen Zheng.

The entire Wei family was stunned. It was too shocking!

"Young Master Chen, please let me go!"

"Young Master Chen, please spare us!"

Everyone from the Qi Family, following Qi Lei's lead, knelt down. This was especially true for Qi Lei, who had been arrogantly showing off in front of the Wei family, never taking anyone seriously. But now, his face was a mess, covered in filth, as he was unceremoniously dumped at the villa's entrance.

Wei Tianqiang was truly astonished, as was the rest of the Wei family. They had never seen anything like this. The people kneeling were top executives of a Fortune Global 500 company; any one of them was a prominent figure. But now, they were all kneeling before Chen Zheng.

At that moment, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Zheng, an inexplicable regret blooming in his heart. Yes, he regretted it. He suddenly realized he had been wrong, terribly wrong. A buzz filled his head. What in the world was happening?

"This... this..." Wei Zixuan was equally shocked. She had always known of the Qi Family's influence, but now even they were submitting so meekly.

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle this."

He turned his head, glanced at Qi Lei, and then shifted his gaze to Qi Zhenyun. "Who is in charge of the Qi Family?"

Qi Zhenyun replied, his voice hurried, "Young Master, I am in charge now! I am here today to apologize. My unfilial son has caused you trouble. I have brought him here before you. Kill him or cut him up, it's entirely your decision!" He was clearly terrified that any sign of displeasure from Chen Zheng would cost them their last chance.

"Kill someone? That's a crime," Chen Zheng stated calmly.

"Young Master Chen, in that case, we can offer compensation! Whatever you want, we can provide it. As long as it's within our power, we won't even bat an eye!" Qi Zhenyun looked utterly subservient, nothing like the powerful figure he was known to be.

"Stand up," Chen Zheng said, feeling a little uncomfortable. He wasn't used to seeing people kneel before him.

Hearing his words, the members of the Qi Family finally breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Young Master Chen, thank you!" they said, scrambling to their feet.

Nearby, Wei Tianqiang and the others felt as if their entire worldview had been shattered. This was especially true for Wei Tianqiang.

He had always tried to hold Chen Zheng in the highest possible regard, but he never imagined... he was still too naive. He hadn't realized the true extent of Chen Zheng's power!

"Come in," Chen Zheng said, not wasting any more words. He gestured for them to follow and then led Wei Zixuan into the villa.

Qi Zhenyun nodded and followed, bringing only Qi Lei inside with him. The others remained standing outside, not daring to move.

Dark clouds gathered overhead, and a torrential rain suddenly began to pour down. Even so, the crowd outside didn't budge. The Wei family members were completely at a loss, unsure whether they should leave or stay, their hearts pounding with anxiety.

"You all go back first. I'll stay here," Wei Tianqiang said slowly after a moment of thought. The others wanted to hesitate, but seeing that Wei Tianqiang had made up his mind, they silently departed.

Inside the villa, Chen Zheng had Wei Zixuan sit down before casually pointing to another spot. "Have a seat."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Qi Zhenyun said, looking extremely restrained and nothing like a powerful patriarch.

"Fine, then stand." Chen Zheng couldn't be bothered with pleasantries. He sat beside Wei Zixuan and watched the man.

Feeling extremely awkward, Qi Zhenyun forced a laugh. "Young Master Chen, I am truly sorry! This little beast of mine didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I hope you won't take it to heart. Please, let us off!"

"Mission choice triggered!

Option one: Let this kid off? Are you kidding? Reject them! Reward: Grandmaster-level Martial Arts!

Option two: Be merciful where you can. Reward: 40% stake in the Qi Family's company!"

The system's prompt put Chen Zheng in a dilemma. The company was a Fortune 500 enterprise. Even with the stock plummeting, a 40% stake was a tremendous asset worth tens of billions.

However... money isn't that useful to me anymore. It's just a number. On the other hand, if my personal strength isn't enough, that's the real danger. He vividly remembered the attack from Greedy Wolf. In this world, money can't guarantee your safety. Even hiring bodyguards isn't a sure thing... But as long as I'm strong enough, money will never be a problem.

Therefore, Chen Zheng decided to choose option one.

He shot Qi Zhenyun a cold look and sneered, "A joke! After causing so much trouble, trying to have me killed, coveting my wife, and turning her against her own Family Head, you think a simple apology will make me let you off? Isn't that a little too easy?"

As soon as his words fell, the system's reward came through.

Grandmaster-level Martial Arts!

With the notification, he felt the power within his body surge once more. An explosive force burst forth from his very core. This was the kind of power one couldn't achieve without decades of practice, yet now, he possessed it. He not only had immense strength but could even move objects with his mind. He could turn a flying leaf or a plucked flower into a weapon. This was the true level of a Grandmaster. It was incredibly powerful, impossible to describe with words.

Hearing Chen Zheng's refusal, Qi Zhenyun felt his vision go dark. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees again. "Young Master Chen, this damned beast was momentarily bewitched! I'll beat him to death for you right now. Please, I'm begging you, spare our company. Our family has dozens of people, young and old. Please, Young Master, show some mercy! We will agree to any condition!"

Chen Zheng snapped back to reality upon hearing this plea.

Beside him, Wei Zixuan was already completely stunned.

Chen Zheng didn't make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at Wei Zixuan and asked, "Zixuan, what do you think?"

Wei Zixuan froze for a moment before quickly shaking her head. The situation was too overwhelming; she had no idea how to handle it.

Seeing his wife like this, Chen Zheng found it quite adorable. He ignored the Qi father and son and said to Wei Zixuan, "Zixuan, from now on, you're the president of the Dahong Company. You'll have the final say there."
