chapter 6 Tianji Group

Bernard was momentarily subdued by Delfina's gaze and he was shivering. However, he forced himself to calm down then cleared his throat and sneered, "Haha, that means you have no background at all."
"You speak with such confidence, as if you are above everyone."
"You are just unwilling to admit your weakness."
Delfina ignored him. There was no need to waste words on someone like him.
Nagnoloa didn't say anything while seeing Delfina was being mocked by Bernard.
Delfina's skill and self-confidence did make her somewhat intrigued.
However, setting aside those aspects, Delfina was just an ordinary person with good combat skills but lacking in other areas.
Being a good fighter was indeed a skill, but it showed no value once you got into the society.
Maybe just a thug who was good at fighting.
It might be useful to become someone's bodyguard. But to put it mildly, it's just like a servant.
Regardless of those thoughts, Nagnoloa reluctantly accepted it. After all, Delfina saved her this time. However, she felt unpleasant due to Delfina's disdainful attitude towards her just now.
Clearly, he was just good at fighting, yet he was so arrogant. She despised people who pretended to be something they were not.
Shaking her head inwardly, she decided not to pay any more attention to Delfina. Instead, she turned to Hibiscus and said, "Hibiscus, don't worry. I'll figure out a solution for you. Just be patient."
"I'll have my dad check out this House Lending Company or whatever it's called."
"And Bernard he can help as well."
Hearing his crush mentioning him, Bernard hastily patted his chest and assured, "Of course! It's just some loan sharks; I'll talk to my dad, and we'll take care of it."
Hibiscus didn't respond and simply said, "Let's call it a day for now. It's getting late. Nagnoloa, you should head back."
Hibiscus saw off the guests, bidding farewell to Nagnoloa and Bernard.
Before leaving, Nagnoloa glanced at Delfina.
Seeing that he had no intention to talk to her, she couldn't help but stomped her foot in frustration before leaving.
Bernard chased after her afterwards.
After finally sending Nagnoloa back home, Bernard took out his phone and made a call, "Hello, is this Mr. Fanix? There's a situation. Someone who seems like a brother to Hibiscus appeared suddenly."
On the other end, at the Evans.
In the grand courtyard of the Evans, Fanix hung up the phone with a gloomy expression. "Scarface is such an idiot! Did nothing but caused more trouble! I told him to corner Hibiscus and force her to come to me willingly. But ended up in the hospital himself! Idiot!"
He was furious. Just as he picked up a teacup and slammed it on the ground with a loud crash, someone pushed the door open and scolded, "Fanix! What are you doing!"
Fanix quickly straightened up, lowering his head. "Sister, I just accidentally dropped the teacup."
His sister, Daffodil looked at him with disappointment. "Can you be more sensible? Grandfather is unwell, and you act like there's no one to control you anymore. Have you gone wild?"
Daffodil was angry at her younger brother for his lack of maturity. "You're eighteen now, can't you control your temper? Grow up a bit!"
"You're almost the same age as others, but you are so immature!"
Upon hearing the comparison with others, Fanix frowned. "Who are you referring to sister?"
Considering himself among the top elite in the worldly younger generation, yet Fanix acknowledged that he couldn't compete with some martial prodigies.
"Someone who is same age as you! Yet he can do great things! A master of ancient martial arts! What about you?"
Fanix snorted in frustration.
A week ago, Fanix and Eddy personally went to the Greenview Mountain and invited the Fingerless Divine Doctor to treat their grandfather.
However, the doctor refused and claiming that he wouldn't leave the mountain. Instead, he suggested they go and look for his disciple. But this disciple had already left and they had no information about his whereabouts.
Seeing that there was no hope to treat their grandfather's illness, the Evans turned their attention to look for the young man who could walk on waves. He could undoubtedly protect the Evans.
Even if their grandfather passed away, the Evan's ascent to greater heights was just a matter of time!
The Evans belonged to a martial arts lineage, though not among the top-tier families. However, one of their uncles was a master of ancient martial arts. For many years, the Evans had been trying to elevate their status but found it challenging to succeed.
For the Evans to reach new heights, having a master of ancient martial arts would make things straightforward!
This was the Evans's chance for prosperity!
Unfortunately, despite searching for many days, Daffodil hadn't found anything and felt frustrated.
"Are you sure you weren't deceived, sister?"
Fanix clearly didn't believe it. A master of ancient martial arts was an extraordinary figure, akin to legendary beings. In the Land of the Red Dragon, they were considered celestial figures!
A master of ancient martial arts someone like his age?
What a joke!
In this world, there is no such young master of ancient martial arts. It's not making any sense.
"You are the one who's been deceived. I saw it with my own eyes! Forget it. Focus on your studies and stay grounded!" Daffodil said that and hurried off to continue to look for the "divine" young man.
But Fanix muttered, "Walking on waves? Commanding all things? What a joke!"
Back to what he was thinking, he licked his lips. "I must get Hibiscus to my hands!"
"And that so-called brother who appeared out of nowhere, daring to compete with me for a woman, he's asking for trouble!"
...
The next day, it was the weekend.
The sky had just started to brighten.
In the old house of Residential community.
Delfina had not slept all night. He sat alone in the living room on a chair, lights off, staring at the memorial portrait hanging on the wall.
"Aunt Gentry, I'm back."
He sat upright, and on his usually indifferent face, a trace of sorrow emerged.
Delfina hadn't closed his eyes for the whole night.
He thought for a lot of things throughout the night.
"Aunt Gentry...I'm sorry. I came back too late."
Delfina looked sad. With his abilities, healing Gentry's illness wasn't a difficult task, but the difficulty lay in the fact that she was already gone.
He wanted to take care of his family, yet the loved ones couldn't wait.
What his aunt left was only a solitary daughter.
"Don't worry, Aunt Gentry. Hibiscus will be my sister from now on, and I will definitely take good care of her."
He made up his mind. As a way of repaying the debt, he will take good care of Hibiscus.
As Nagnoloa said, Scarface had some backing. He might cause trouble again.
Delfina couldn't let Hibiscus suffer any more. He took her as a younger sister and vowed to ensure her happiness in the future.
"I have never been a passive person. Since they are looking for trouble, I will stop them at all cost."
A murderous intent flashed in his mind, "Scarface, House Lending Company..."
"Oh, I overslept!"
The door opened and Hibiscus rushed out in a hurry. When she saw Delfina, she asked, "Delfina, why are you up so early? Sleep a little longer!"
Delfina smiled gently, "I couldn't sleep. Why are you up so early? It's the weekend, no school today right?"
Hibiscus shook her head, yet nodded. She then grabbed a piece of bread and was about to leave. "No school, but I'm going to work!"
"Work?"
"Yeah, at a bar. The boss is nice. Don't worry, I'm off!"
Hibiscus waved and quickly left the house.
Delfina watching her go, marveling at Fang Tang's independence and resilience. The young girl had already experienced the ups and downs of society.
However, he had no intention of stopping her. He wanted to protect Hibiscus, but he didn't plan to interfere too much in her life.
Later, Delfina left the Residential neighborhood. He had important matters to attend to.
Thirty minutes later, at the bottom of the Heaven Corporation Tower.
The towering skyscraper stood out amidst the surrounding buildings, exuding a majestic presence.
"Who are you?"
"I am Delfina Dawson."
"May I ask if you are the young master of any corporation?"
"No."
"Are you a president in any company?"
"No."
"Then, where are you from?"
"Greenview Mountain."
"...Mountain?"
The security guard stopped Delfina and bombarded him with a series of questions.
Today was the day of the grand banquet hosted by Heaven Corporation. High-end cars like BMWs and Mercedes-Benz were parked below, creating a luxurious scene.
The security guard had been bowing at the entrance all morning, shouting "Welcome, distinguished guests," and his waist almost felt like it was about to break.
While looking at Delfina, the security guard didn't dare to underestimate him. He afraid that Delfina might be some young master in disguise, intentionally making a covert visit.
Moreover, despite Delfina's plain attire, the intense gaze in his eyes made it clear that he wasn't an ordinary person. The security guard became even more cautious.
"I'm not any president or young master. I come from the mountains, with no background or social status," Delfina replied calmly.
"I'm here to see Verruckt Goodrich."
Pfft!
The security guard couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Verruckt Goodrich? Who is Verruckt Goodrich?
Heaven Corporation Tower belongs to Verruckt Goodrich.
Standing at 400 meters, it is the tallest building in Hangzhou. It consists of nine towers and a five-story commercial podium, reflecting the dominance of the Heaven Corporation.
Verruckt Goodrich is the wealthiest man in Hangzhou, the president of the Heaven Corporation. He is also renowned underground figure.
Now, an inexplicable person claims to be looking for him.
He is the kind of big shot that even officials would shake hands with, not anyone can meet him!
"Go away! Get lost!"
The security guard snorted and finally straightened up, openly expressing his disdain for Delfina. "Since you're nobody, how dare you barge into the tower?"
"Look at the luxury cars out here. BMW and Mercedes are nothing, Maybach and Lamborghini are everywhere, even Rolls-Royce, one after another..."
The security guard became more enthusiastic as he listed the luxury cars, but he became a bit impatient towards the end." Alright, you don't know these cars after all. This isn't your countryside where you can freeload just by getting in!"
"Get lost!"
The guard was about to push the Delfina, but found that he was as if rooted to the ground, unmovable no matter how hard the guard tried. He was just about to curse again.
During that moment, a sweet and somewhat seductive voice sounded, "Stop!"
The security guard instantly halted.
Delfina turned around to see a woman walking out from the building. She had a full figure and average features, but she wore heavy makeup, resembling a seductive butterfly. She was dressed in a tight-fitting pencil skirt that accentuated her curves, and she walked in fiery red high heels.
As she approached, she looked at Delfina with eyes that revealed both passion and greed.
Delfina frowned slightly.
"Manager Elkins." The security guard looked at the alluring woman and quickly saluted.
Lyrilin nodded slightly, a smile in her eyes. She looked at Delfina from his top to bottom. Although he seemed a bit slender, his posture was upright. His figure was long and graceful, like a spear aiming to pierce the sky, unstoppable and unrivaled. Such a man exuded a unique dominance.
Lyrilin had only come down for an inspection, but she happily noticed this attractive prey. Her eyes narrowed with delight as she walked gently to Delfina's side. She exhaled, "Little brother,, do you want to come in? I can take you in."
Delfina wrinkled his nose, the woman's perfume was overwhelming.
"Come on, follow me."
She hugged her chest, creating a perfect curve, and pulled Delfina upstairs. "Come with me."
The security guard wanted to stop them, "Manager Elkins, he..."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong." She turned around, threw a seductive glance at the security guard, and then swayed her hips as she led Delfina upstairs.
The people at Heaven Corporation knew very well that she was a favorite in front of the CEO who was quite open-minded. Whenever she set her sights on a man, she would go out of her way to seduce him.
Today, it seemed like she had taken a liking to this poor kid.
The security guard watched Elkin's disappearing and he swallowed hard. He muttered with envy, "She is even playing with a rookie like this. What's so good about this rookie? His skills in bed must not be as good as mine..."
...
On the top floor of the tower, the atmosphere was splendid and lively in the grand banquet hall.
Many men and women gathered together, clinking glasses, exchanging pleasantries, and mingling in the crowd. They were in formal attire, holding wine glasses, roamed around, exchanging business cards and engaging in small talk.
It attracted quite a bit of attention after they saw Lyrilin coming in with Delfina. After all, Lyrilin was Heaven Corporation CEO's favorite, and she had a considerable degree of beauty.
She waved to those familiar faces and acknowledging their presence. She then led Delfina to a secluded resting area. She snapped her fingers at a waiter, ordering two glasses of red wine.
"Can you tell me your story?" Drinking her wine, Lyrilin sat across from Delfina with one foot extended, attempting to tickle his leg.
