"Tianzhao! Congratulations! Congratulations, buddy! To be engaged to a stunning beauty like Wang Chouchou, you really are lucky!"

The Fierce Tiger scion greeted Hong Tianzhao with a wide grin as he approached, after seeing him descend from the luxury car accompanied by several men in black.

The long scar on the Fierce Tiger scion's face writhed with his smile, looking exceptionally ferocious and repulsive. He now wrapped an arm around Hong Tianzhao's shoulder, his gaze curiously drifting toward the well-dressed men beside him.

These men closely surrounded Hong Tianzhao, sealing off all potentially threatening angles with their presence. Each one wore an expression as cold as an eternal iceberg, exuding a hint of arrogance.

"Tianzhao, did you change your bodyguards?"

The Fierce Tiger scion was one of the trio known as the Princes of Jiangnan University, a friend close as family to Hong Tianzhao, yet he had never seen these men before.

Noticing the Fierce Tiger scion's realization of the extraordinariness of his company, a smug smile curled up the corners of Hong Tianzhao's mouth:

"Hu Zi, do you know who these gentlemen are? They are four experts from the Crocodile Mercenary Group in America!"

The Crocodile Mercenary Group in America!

Upon hearing this name, the Fierce Tiger scion and the four great kings beside him all had their pupils shrink.

Of course, they knew about this mercenary group. Not just them, probably every underground force in China had heard of this group's reputation!

They were one of the top ten mercenary groups in the world, absolute elites in the mercenary realm!

At this moment, the Fierce Tiger scion couldn't help but carefully size up these men, finding them unremarkable at first glance, but their eyes shimmered with a dazzling luster.

Especially the fact that their arms were always bent at the elbow, never more than a foot away from their waists, a posture ever-ready to draw weapons and kill.

Moreover, almost everyone familiar with mercenaries knew that the members of the Crocodile Mercenary Group wielded the Crocodile Needle, a weapon that sealed the throat upon drawing blood, smeared with deadly poison!

Looking at the four members of the Crocodile Mercenary Group, the Fierce Tiger scion and his four great kings wore an extremely grave expression.

"Tianzhao, I didn't expect Uncle Hong to be so willing to spend money for you!"

The Fierce Tiger scion's face showed envy; hiring the Crocodile Mercenary Group was astronomically expensive, and Tianzhao Group had engaged four members at once, making the cost astronomical!

"Hu Zi! I heard he's back, is it true?"

At this moment, Hong Tianzhao and the Fierce Tiger scion walked toward the Wang family while turning to ask.

Hearing the mention of 'him,' the Fierce Tiger scion's face darkened:

"That's right! Last night, our Fierce Tiger Gang's Old Six took a hundred brothers to the hospital to capture Fang Qingxue and Red Rose, and not a single one returned. Later, we found out that he's back from Mingzhu!"

After saying this, the Fierce Tiger scion seemed to notice the concern in Hong Tianzhao's eyes and immediately spoke with a laugh:

"But rest assured! With the four great kings of our Fierce Tiger Gang and the four experts from your Crocodile Mercenary Group here, if he doesn't come it's fine, but if he does, we'll definitely make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

The Fierce Tiger scion had absolute confidence. The four great kings were the gold medal hitmen of the Fierce Tiger Gang, and the Crocodile Mercenary Group were top global experts. With these eight present, even facing a platoon of regular soldiers, they would come out unscathed.

Hong Tianzhao nodded, his eyes flickering fiercely:

"Wang Chouchou is mine! If that guy wants to take her from me, he'll have to die!"

From the first moment Hong Tianzhao saw Wang Chouchou, he was stunned by her beauty. Only by marrying such a woman could he match the status of Prince Tianzhao!

And as for Ye Feng, although he had heard of his opponent's reputation, what of it!

Now, the largest financial tycoon in Jiangnan City was the Hong Family, and the largest gang, Fierce Tiger Gang, was their intimate ally!

With the Hong Family and the Fierce Tiger Gang joining forces, the whole of Jiangnan was theirs. They would never be afraid of a mere student!

"Young Master, rest assured, with us here, in this small Jiangnan City, no one can harm you!"

One of the Crocodile Mercenary Group members said dismissively, while glancing sideways with scorn at the Four Great Kings.

For mercenaries of their level, Jiangnan City was but a small pond, and any Crocodile Mercenary could easily level the local underground forces to the ground, let alone the four of them arriving together!

When the Four Great Kings saw the disdain in his eyes, rage surged in their hearts, but they dreaded his reputation and didn't dare to retort!

At that moment, while talking, the group made their way into the Wang Family estate.

As soon as they entered the Wang estate, Wang Yitian came out to greet them.

"Tianzhao, Huzi, you've arrived!"

Wang Yitian's face was full of an excited, fawning smile, especially when he looked at Hong Tianzhao with eager eyes!

This was the son of the First Financial Group; as long as he had this connection, he would surely roll in wealth. Then, money, women, power—he would have it all!

Moreover, Wang Yitian knew that the Hong Family and Fierce Tiger Gang in Jiangnan were about to make a move against Ye Feng, so naturally, he was not afraid of him. This was also why Wang Yitian dared to reveal the relationship between Shu Yuehua and Ye Feng!

Seeing Wang Yitian, the Fierce Tiger Gang's heir showed a hint of disdain and didn't bother to respond, only Hong Tianzhao, with a smile on his face, said,

"Mr. Wang, you've worked hard!"

"Ah! Why are you still calling me Mr. Wang! You should call me 'uncle' now. Once you and Chouchou are engaged, we will be family!"

Wang Yitian said with a face full of ingratiating charm, and then led Hong Tianzhao and the others inside the villa!

After they entered the villa, three middle-aged men were seen coming down from the second floor.

Hong Tao, the chairman of the Tianzhao Group, He Yang, the Gang Leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, and Zhou Xuan from the Zhou Family!

These three were the heads of the three major powers, and the most influential figures in the area!

At that moment, as everyone settled in, Nangong Meili from the Green Gang and Luo Zhiyuan, the president of Jiangnan University, arrived at the Wang Family estate with a group of people.

In the blink of an eye, the villa and courtyard of the Wang Family were filled with guests, all renowned high-society figures from Jiangnan City!

Wang Shi and Wang Yitian from the Wang Family were exceedingly delighted. Normally, an engagement ceremony shouldn't be held at the bride's home, but the Hong Family, aware of the special circumstances, chose this place. This would be a rare opportunity for the rise of the Wang Family!

At that moment, while Wang Shi was attending to the many guests and seeing that the time was almost right, he gestured to the master of ceremonies to start the engagement ceremony!

"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished leaders! Welcome to the engagement party of Mr. Hong Tianzhao from the Tianzhao Group and Miss Wang Chouchou from the Wang Family. Today is one of the most important moments in the lives of the couple! And now, please welcome the couple to the stage, so everyone can offer them their warmest blessings!"

The master of ceremonies stood on the fairytale-like, dazzling stage and as they finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause!

But at that moment, a wave of screams erupted from the courtyard, and a business sedan burst into the grounds!
