Chapter 353: Chapter 353: The Vicious Young Master of the Hua Family

Sky City Hotel!

The Hua Family’s proudest asset in Shangdu, and a famous garden hotel in the city.

At this moment, Old Lady Hua of the Hua Family stood waiting excitedly in the lobby with her family members.

Among the Hua Family members, a particularly arrogant man with a buzz cut and a knife scar on his face was sprawled carelessly on a sofa. "Dignitaries from the Imperial Capital? Bullshit. I finally figured things out in prison. As long as you’re ruthless enough, all those so-called ’dignitaries’ are nothing but trash!"

This was Second Young Master Hua, the madman that Hua Zhaoxing and Yan Xinyue feared most.

But he was also the son Old Lady Hua doted on most.

The old matriarch advised him earnestly, "As long as our Hua Family properly hosts the dignitary from the Imperial Capital, our status in Shangdu will change. This is our only chance to get close to the powers that be in the Imperial Capital!"

Second Young Master Hua got up reluctantly, stretched, and pulled a female assistant standing nearby into his arms. "Isn’t there still more than half an hour? I’m gonna go get laid to relax a bit."

The female assistant had only recently started the job. She was scared stiff.

Watching her youngest son, whom she had spoiled since childhood, the old matriarch gave a helpless gesture.

A few Hua Family members came over, grabbed the female assistant, and dragged her upstairs.

Second Young Master Hua let out a whistle. "She’s not willing to serve me? Give her money! If that doesn’t work, give her a house! I’ve been pent up for years. If you dare resist, I’ll kill you!"

Everyone in the Hua Family, from top to bottom, frowned.

They were all disgusted to their core.

The Hua Family’s employees were furious, but no one dared to step forward and stop him.

Second Young Master Hua dashed upstairs.

A girl’s scream immediately came from upstairs, which then turned into a bloodcurdling cry.

Finally, a loud THUD was heard.

Outside the hotel, the manager ran in, trembling. "Chairwoman, the new assistant, Xiao Fang... she... she jumped off the building!"

"What’s there to be afraid of?" Second Young Master Hua appeared on the staircase, his face bearing fresh scratch marks.

He wiped at the blood from where the woman’s nails had scratched him. "What floor was it? She won’t die from that fall! Go find her family and throw money at them until it’s settled!"

The employees in the hall all rushed out. "Second Young Master, this is a monstrous sin!"

THWACK!

Second Young Master Hua kicked them down one by one. "How dare you! Throw them all out! Fire them immediately."

After the commotion, Old Lady Hua stomped her foot. "Don’t worry about this for now! The guest from the Imperial Capital will be here any minute. Everyone, calm down."

She grabbed two people. "Go with the manager, put that girl who jumped into a car, and take her to the hospital. But be careful. Don’t let anyone find out about this!"

Just then, a vice president of the Hua Family walked out. He was an older man, a loyal retainer who had been with the family since they built their fortune.

He sighed. "Chairwoman, I still think Young Master Zhaoxing has a point. This dignitary from the Imperial Capital is coming for the Night Emperor! Our Hua Family is caught in the middle! We’ll end up offending both sides."

The old retainer spoke from the heart, "We can’t afford to offend the dignitary from the Imperial Capital, but we absolutely cannot afford to offend the Night Emperor!"

SLAP!

The old retainer took a direct slap to the face from Second Young Master Hua.

"Second Young Master, you... why did you hit me?"

"Hit you? Of course I hit you! What’s this crap about offending both sides? This is a goddamn opportunity, you get it? Fortune favors the bold!"

Still radiating the aggressive energy of a man fresh out of prison, Second Young Master Hua opened a bottle of hard liquor on the side, taking swigs as he bellowed, "What kind of trash is the Night Emperor? He’s a washed-up has-been! Why should we be afraid of him?"

Everyone present shot him sidelong glances.

"Second Young Master, we can’t speak on other matters, but surely you can’t be dismissive of the Northern Domain Night Emperor, can you?"

Second Young Master Hua laughed manically. "You don’t know shit! You know Water Moon Cave Heaven? That’s property belonging to one of the Night Emperor’s subordinates, and I’m the one who dragged the little bitch hiding inside out of there!"

The moment he said this, even Old Lady Hua was shocked. "You little bastard, what have you done? You kidnapped Hua Hua?"

Second Young Master Hua’s expression was savage. "Half the reason I did time was because of that stinking bitch, Yan Xinyue! What’s wrong with me grabbing her daughter?"

Old Lady Hua stomped her foot. "But she’s my granddaughter too! You... you let her go right now!"

Second Young Master Hua strode over insolently and patted the old matriarch on the back. "Don’t you worry. I’ve got a crew to handle this!"

With that, he let out a sharp whistle, and four burly, vicious-looking men appeared.

All four had fierce expressions, and their waistbands bulged suspiciously.

Second Young Master Hua clapped his hands, and the four thugs threw open their shirts, revealing the knives tucked into their belts.

"These big brothers here are all pros from the streets. Every one of them has a rap sheet. A big shot I met in prison introduced them to me, and now they work for me!"

The more he spoke, the more smug Second Young Master Hua became. "With my money and their muscle, conquering Shangdu will be a piece of cake."

Old Lady Hua’s lips trembled a few times, but she didn’t have the strength to speak.

’This youngest son of mine... I watched him grow up. How did he become so stupid?’

At that moment, the guests for the reception banquet began to arrive.

They were all a part of Shangdu’s high society: chamber of commerce leaders and distinguished guests from powerful families.

The old matriarch gestured to her youngest son and said in a low voice, "Don’t cause any trouble. This is a critical moment. We’ll deal with your business tomorrow!"

More and more guests filed in.

Qin Tianxuan appeared at the back entrance.

Behind him, Lingsu was kneeling on the ground, healing the female assistant who had jumped.
