Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“Boring lip service.” Upon hearing Hong Dali’s words, Ko Gohon disdainfully pouted. Then, he slowly stood up from the sofa. He was slightly taller than Hong Dali and looked down arrogantly at him. “Is this the way the people of Heavenly State handle things? You always talk but won’t do anything. What you mean is that you’re thinking of finding God to punish me?”

Actually, his actions were rather cool and had the aura of an aristocratic young master. However, no matter what, he shouldn’t have continued challenging Hong Dali at this point in time. Thus, he was depressed…

Before Ko Gohon had even finished speaking, instantly, there was a sharp pain on his feet. Whoever talked to Hong Dali that way was definitely seeking his own misfortune. Tang Muxin carried Little Meow and went forward to step on the back of Ko Gohon’s feet and angrily said, “Are your bones too stiff? I’ll help you loosen them!”

“Woman! Don’t be too overboard!” Ko Gohon furiously looked at Tang Muxin as he shouted. “Don’t make me hit you!”

Actually, Hong Dali had initially planned to directly leave the room like that. He really didn’t want to bother with people that came to find trouble. However, now that he heard what Ko Gohon said to Tang Muxin, he instantly changed his mind…

“Dali creates miracles!” Hong Dali turned around and raised his hands, and the nine lackeys beside him raised their hands in unison as well. Ten people raised ten hands, and once Ko Gohon’s bodyguards saw that they were stunned for a moment. Then, they wanted to leap forward and launch their attack first.

Unfortunately, they were still too late. An exoskeleton armor appeared on each of Hong Dali and the nine lackeys’ hands, and on the palms of the exoskeleton armor on the ten people were a prototype setup that instantly shone brilliant rays of light…

“Mega particle cannon, shoot!”

Boom boom boom boom—!!

Hong Dali, along with his nine lackeys, each fired one shot. Before Ko Gohon’s bodyguards could even leap forward, they were all shot back. Though this weapon was not lethal, it was still quite powerful, and each of those few bodyguards had holes on their clothes, and the burns on their bodies made them all grimace in pain…

“Don’t make me angry.” Hong Dali kept his exoskeleton armor and stared at the dumbfounded Ko Gohon as he sniggered and said, “Even I get scared when I get angry!”

After leaving these extremely super cool words behind, Hong Dali turned around and prepared to leave. “Actually, it’s not that we Heavenly State people don’t dare to do anything, it’s just that, more often than not, we’re a little scared of dirt… I might as well give you a kind warning as well: Do not touch my people!”

After Hong Dali and the rest had left, Ko Gohon squinted his eyes, touched his chin and said in a deep voice, “This is rather interesting. Looks like I’ve belittled him previously. I thought he was only a squandering young master. Now that I look at it, he’s slightly more powerful than what I’d imagined him to be.”

“Young Master, what should we do?” The few bodyguards beside him were badly scorched. The person in the lead quickly straightened himself up and lowered his head as he asked, “Should we gather our men?”

“Idiot!” Ko Gohon turned around and gave that bodyguard a slap, scolding. “Are you dumb, starting a group fight in Heavenly State!”

“Yes!” The bodyguard who was slapped hurriedly stood straight. “Young Master is right!”

“Humph, fighting with me.” Ko Gohon placed his hands on his back as he walked two rounds around the room. Afterward, he slowly said, “Help me total up all the projects that Hong Dali had started up. We’ll slowly play with them one by one! Humph, in this world, there can only be one Young Master. That’s me!”

“Yes! I’ll do that right away!” The bodyguard instantly left the room.

After everyone had left, Ko Gohon stared at the high executive of Tianying Car Company that had long been scared till his face turned pale, smiled and said, “I’m deeply sorry about what happened today. Sir, looks like there isn’t the need for us to negotiate anymore. What do you say?”

“This…” That executive’s forehead brimmed with sweat. “Young Master, don’t you want to consider further?”

“Consider? What’s left for me to consider?” Ko Gohon shrugged. “Jiang Ruoyu has left, and Hong Dali has embarrassed me so greatly and attacked my bodyguards. Do you think I’ll still listen to what you have to say?”

“This… This…” The executive was depressed. “Then I’ll go back first. Young Master, please consider again. You must consider again!”

“Go!” Ko Gohon waved his hand. “Don’t come and bother me in the future.”

…

Hong Dali and the rest left the hotel and got onto the car towards Chenhui Building. Very soon, they reached the ninth floor of the building, in the big conference room.

“Dali, that Ko Gohon is too detestable. I wish I had kicked him a few more times!” Just as they settled down in their seats, Tang Muxin, who was hugging Little Meow, angrily said, “What kind of person is that, and he says that in this world there can only be one Young Master. We can’t be bothered with what he likes to call himself, but he’s so overboard!” After she said that, Tang Muxin continued, “That step just now was still too light. I should have stepped on his feet till he can’t walk for a few days!”

Jiang Ruoyu, who was sitting by the side, lowered her head and softly said, “Young Master, I’m sorry. It’s all because of me…”

“It’s not your fault.” Hong Dali was not bothered by what had happened earlier. “I know that he’s an extremely narcissistic fellow just by looking at him. Hadn’t he said already, there can only be one Young Master in this world. He was probably already targeting me from the start. It was just that I hadn’t directly gone up to him back then. This fellow is probably preparing to strike back. We have to make preparations beforehand.”

Speaking up to this point, Chu Xianghe’s phone rang. After he picked the call up, he looked at Hong Dali, then said in a small voice, “Boss, I’m currently on the ninth floor of Chenhui Building. En, OK, please wait a moment!” After he said that, Chu Xianghe said to Hong Dali, “Young Master, the superior of my company wants to come and request for your help. What do you think…”

“Oh, then let him come. I want to hear from him too.” As the saying goes, an enemy’s enemy is a friend. Hong Dali naturally wouldn’t reject. This time, the matter was different from the previous one. Previously, those people were after all Heavenly State people, and they didn’t have much hate toward each other. Thus, Hong Dali wouldn’t be too concerned about it. However, this Ko Gohon was different. He was targetting him, and his goal was to snatch the title of “Young Master.” Hong Dali wouldn’t be bothered about other things, but towards people from Jaban State, he naturally did not have many good feelings towards them. “It’s fine if you don’t offend me. But if you create trouble out of your own accord, then don’t blame me!”

Though this world was different from that of his previous life, Hong Dali still knew that Jaban State had started a war against Heavenly State before. Big Grandfather Hong Tu and Geezer Wang talked quite a lot about those things in the past.

As the saying goes, one who does not think far ahead will inevitably have worries near at hand. Towards the challenge waged by Ko Gohon, Hong Dali naturally wouldn’t treat it lightly.

Very soon, that middle-aged man whom he previously saw at Fu Hai Hotel ran inside the room with beads of perspiration on his forehead. Once he saw Hong Dali, he bowed, “Young Master, this time you must think of a way to help us!”

“Don’t be anxious, speak slowly.” Hong Dali looked at him. He seemed rather ordinary, but a book cannot be judged by its cover. Hong Dali, nevertheless, still behaved rather respectfully. “Uncle, how may I address you?”

“I’m Li Daguo, Vice CEO of Heavenly State’s Tianying Car Company.” Li Daguo slowly said, “Sigh, due to the technological limitations on our locally produced cars, the sales volume has not been doing very well. Moreover, in the recent few months, there had been a technological reformation on Toyoda cars, which has caused the price of their cars to plunge greatly… Now, our Tianying sedan cars are facing difficulty in selling. It’s just too worrying.”

En, it’s technology reasons that caused the price of the cars by the other party to be lower than those here. Hong Dali was still more familiar with this. To put it simply, ordinary people normally wouldn’t be concerned about the place of manufacturing. What they cared about was the price. With an equal type of functions and configurations of the two types of cars from the two companies, of course, they would buy the cheaper one.

“But I can’t be of much help with regards to the technological problems.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “How should I help you in this?”

“Young Master…” Li Daguo gritted his teeth. “Young Master, you’re the God of Fortune. Whatever you start up will bring in money, lots of money. Almost everyone who is well-informed knows that. Young Master, why don’t you play around with cars as well?”

What the heck, everyone in the world knows about it already?

Hong Dali was frightened. “You’re not kidding me, are you? You’re asking me to play around with cars? I don’t know anything about cars! If it’s toy figurines and models, I may still be of some help. But can I even handle the transactions of this car company of yours?”

This was really weird. There was actually someone who urged him into becoming his business competitor?

“No no no.” Fortunately, Li Daguo violently shook his head. “I’m not asking you to personally open a car company. What I mean is, if I loan our company’s research department for your use, even if you only become our shareholder, in this case, we can be tied to your battleship already. By then, with your unmatched luck, I think that it will definitely be effective!”

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuxi covered her face. Now the name of Young Master Dali was like the shadow of the tree ¹ , such a large car company had actually come to request him to “Be our shareholder, I’ll lend all the departments to you. You don’t need to fork out any money either. You only need to agree to it!”

It’s not that I don’t understand anything, it’s just that this world is changing way too fast!

Now that such a good thing had landed on his head, no matter how much of a squanderer he was, he didn’t have a reason to reject it. Hong Dali thought for a while, then suddenly, his eyes lit up. “OK, then lend me that department of yours. These days, I’ve been playing around with toy cars. It’s truly not a bad idea for that department of yours to help me with this.”

“T… Toy…” Li Daguo was so shocked that his mouth opened widely. “Young Master, you’re not… being serious, right? You’re asking our professional design department to design car toys for you? You’re talking about that type of… remote control model?”

“Ah, a full-scale prototype model. I plan to make 100 sets at once.” Hong Dali nodded and said, “Why, it can’t be done?”

“It can!” Li Daguo went all out. He looked like a gambler now, betting everything he had onto Hong Dali’s unmatched good luck. “I believe in your luck and ideas! No matter what, now the cars can’t be sold out, so it’s fine to help make some models and figurines to play with!”

“En, then that’s decided.” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “Then, when can your team come over? The factory there still has some technical issues that haven’t been solved. They’re all waiting!” These few days, there has indeed been some trouble at the factory side—the plastic model was still fine, but they really couldn’t make the full scale high-quality artificial exterior!
