The customers shopping on the second floor of the Uni Mall are, without exception, well-known figures in Jinpur, with personal assets never falling below a million. After all, even the cheapest branded clothing on this floor cost over 5,000$. Yet, these wealthy and distinguished individuals are now utterly dumbfounded!
Tobia, who has climbed to the position of general manager of the Uni Group, is not just a shrewd businessman. He is also a martial artist at the peak of the Obvious Force stage, a formidable presence even in the entire Jinpur region!
"This young man is actually the chairman of the Uni Group?"
"The Uni Group is worth over 40 billion dollars. If this guy is the chairman, his personal wealth must be astronomical. He could probably be Jinpur's richest man!"
"Young, wealthy, and most importantly, with such a dashing aura!"
The fat woman was stunned: "Cousin, why did you hit me?"
Tobia kicked her to the ground: "How dare you try to extort the chairman of the Universe Group? Are you tired of living?"
The woman is completely bewildered: "Chair… chairman?"
Kingsley is also somewhat surprised by communicating with the system: "Didn't you just acquire the Uni Group? How could they get here so fast?"
System: [Host, I acquired it in your name. I also mentioned that you were being harassed on the second floor. Naturally, they rushed over to curry favor with you.]
Kingsley nodded, glancing at the woman with a sly smile: "Auntie, do you still want some compensation? Or do you insist I sleep with you to make up for your loss?"
To please Kingsley, Tobia immediately ordered the team of black-clad bodyguards behind him: "She dared to demand the chairman sleep with her? From now on, she has no place in the Uni Mall! No… she has no place in all of Jinpur! Go smash her shop!"
The tall and imposing bodyguards, wielding rubber batons, started heading toward the woman's store.
Kingsley waved his hand.
Tobia hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"
The bodyguards were confused. Why were they being stopped now?
The woman was already in despair. She had run this shop for years, barely earning a few million annually. Losing it meant the end of her comfortable life! And having offended Jinpur's richest man, how could she survive? Starting over in another city would require immense funds and effort!
Kingsley said calmly: "Her behavior isn't entirely her fault. Blame it on me being too handsome."
Vivianne covered her mouth, giggling softly: "So narcissistic! Been classmates for over ten years, and I never noticed he was this cheeky."
Vivianne and Kingsley have been classmates from elementary to high school, even desk mates for 3 years. She never thought Kingsley is a closet flirt, but now, the feeling is undeniable.
The onlookers, initially tempted to curse, fell silent when they saw Kingsley's flawless looks and celestial charm. He is unreasonably handsome, outshining countless celebrity heartthrobs!
Tobia, sweating profusely, asked: "Chairman, how do you think we should punish her? Should we strip her naked and make her crawl like a dog while I whip her fat butt from behind?"
The fat woman wailed: "Cousin, no! How could you be so cruel? Chairman, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
Kingsley shrugged: "Forget it. The slap you gave her wasn't light, her face is already swollen. And that kick was pretty hard too. My anger's gone. No need to humiliate her further in public."
Kingsley didn't intend to throw his weight around. The woman, both ashamed and grateful, knelt and sobbed: "Thank you, Chairman! You're truly magnanimous!"
The crowd couldn't help but praise him.
"This young man knows when to forgive. So honorable!"
"In today's society, the rich call the shots. Offend someone wealthy, and you're done for!"
"Such a steady character. Jinpur's richest man is not ordinary!"
Kingsley smiled to Tobia: "You're the general manager? Take your lustful cousin to the hospital to check her injuries. Manage the group well. I have other matters to attend to and will revisit when I have time. Though the Uni Group isn't worth much, it's still my property. I don't want incidents like this happening again, understand?"
Tobia nodded and bowed: "Yes, Chairman! Take care, Chairman!"
Kingsley raised an eyebrow: "Vivianne, I think this outfit suits you. Try it on, then we'll grab lunch."
Kingsley strolled over, picking up a set of clothes, a black hip-hugging skirt and a pink V-neck top, exquisitely crafted. Vivianne happily took it and dashed into the fitting room.
While Vivianne changed, Kingsley asked the system: "By the way, what's this 'Ninth Heaven Body Forging' cultivation thing?"
System: [Host, let me ask you: if you had supreme power and endless wealth, what would you pursue next?]
Kingsley thought for a moment: "Travel the world?"
System: [Heh… you're really clueless, even more so than the first host, whose grave grass is taller than a person.]
Kingsley: ???
System: [Haven't you read novels? Why not pursue immortality?]
Kingsley replied: "Novels are just fantasy."
System: [Can't this infinitely wise system make you see the truth?]
Kingsley chuckled: "Immortality isn't necessarily good. Friends, family, even lovers pass away, leaving me alone to live forever. That's not joy, it's endless pain! Whatever, you're just a single system who wouldn't understand."
System: ???
Moments later.
System: [Alright… I don't quite get what it's like to lose someone important. Since you're not interested now, I'll explain Ninth Heaven Forging Body later!]
Kingsley nodded: "Just teasing you. I've read countless fantasy and cultivation novels. Ninth Heaven Forging Body is just a cultivation realm. What's there to not understand?"
System: [You played me?]
Kingsley spread his hands: "You claim to be the world's wisest system, yet a mere mortal like me tricked you. Still dare to call yourself the wisest?"
System: […Good afternoon, Host. I'm going to sleep.]
The system retreated to a corner, sobbing: "This is too much! This host is the toughest one I've ever had! I swear, I have to find a way to trip him up one day!!!"
