Ko Gohon was all along proud and conceited, even almost to the extent of narcissism.

How could he, then, be able to bear with this humiliation of taking the initiative to find Hong Dali and admit defeat?

Ko Gohon exclaimed, “He’s just a prodigal, a prodigal who’s idle every day! I’m the sole successor of Toyoda Conglomerate! The disparity in the status of our two families is like heaven and earth on an international scale! You want me to take the initiative to go to him and admit defeat? No! I can’t do that! I can’t do that even if I die! He’s just lucky! Lucky!”

“Sometimes, luck is also a part of ability.” Shiroishi Kazuma insipidly said, “Until now, you’re still hung up over that ridiculous bet between the two of you?”

“I can’t take this lying down! I can’t!” Ko Gohon madly said, “How does he deserve it?! He’s a prodigal whose family can’t even enter into the top 100 in the world! I’m the sole successor of the top 16 Toyoda Conglomerate! Why should I take the initiative to go to him and admit defeat?! If this time, I go and admit defeat to him on my own accord, how would I be able to face others?”

“Humph, if you don’t know how to swallow your pride, how are you going to become great.” Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, “Your father’s motto has always been these two sentences. When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on man, it will first fill his heart with suffering and toil his sinews and bones. The other one, a man must be adaptable to attain success. Previously, your father had been humble and submissive to people from Azumada but secretly gathered all his abilities, how much hardships did he suffer? Only with that was he able to turn the tables around at once after the final battle and completely crush Azumada. You can consider whether you want to go or not.”

“When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on man, it will first fill his heart with suffering and toil his sinews and bones.” Ko Gohon mumbled, “A man must be adaptable to attain success…” Upon repeating it to himself many times, he became rather hesitant. “Uncle Kazuma, back then, did my father really undergo many hardships?”

“The number of indignities our company president had to bear with back then is much more than what you think.” Shiroishi Kazuma said, “Or else, how could he get to the top?”

Ko Gohon took in a deep breath. “I understand, then I’ll go and find Hong Dali to admit defeat tomorrow morning!”

“Mm, after admitting defeat this time, you can return to our country. I’ll take charge of things over here.” Shiroishi Kazuma nodded. “This time, we’ve lost because of the difference in our cultures and way of doing things. Now, we need to try our best to completely eliminate all the after-effects that have been produced because of all these. We definitely can’t let them make an issue on this again. So this is just the right time to use news of you returning to Jaban to create divert attention. I will then conceal myself within the Qian Family and secretly maneuver things. You must remember to cast a long line to get a big fish in return. It’s needless to take a moment’s loss or gain to heart, don’t let these small things affect your mind.”

“OK, Uncle Kazuma, I understand.” Ko Gohon instantly agreed.

“Oh right, bear in mind to liaise with all the various big media companies in Heavenly State before you leave. It must be sensational, and you must put up a good appearance so that it can numb the enemy and make it convenient to secretly plot things out.”

“OK! For the sake of the future, I’ll go all out!”

“Mm, go and make your preparations well. I’ll go to Young Master Qian Youjin’s place to make subsequent preparations.”

That night.

In the Qian Family’s secret villa in Tianjing City, Shiroishi Kazuma sat on the sofa and instructed Qian Youjin who was in front of him, “Young Master Qian, Young Master Gohon has failed this time. I’ve made arrangements for him to return to his country tomorrow, but I’ll still be here to instruct you about the next steps.”

“Alright, I understand.” Qian Youjin understood very well exactly how capable this person in front of him was. Ko Gohon’s ability was not on the same level as his. He cautiously said, “Chief Shiroishi, I will definitely try my best to help you carry out anything you ask.”

“Mm, the same mistake cannot be made twice.” Shiroishi Kazuma thought for a while, then insipidly said, “I cannot leave any flaws for them to attack me, so I’ve made arrangements to find someone who looks almost the same as me, and after he has put on the makeup, he will return to Jaban State together with Young Master Gohon. From now on, I am him, and he is me.”

“OK.” Qian Youjin nodded. “Anything else?”

Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, “This time, I want to start from the online gaming aspect. After everything has been stabilized, my new identity will be your personal consultant, and I will be called Shi Youfu. Oh right, get me a makeup artist. I want to change everything, from my looks, hairstyle and so on.”

“Yes, Chief Shiroishi.”

“No, in the future, just address me as Mr. Shi.”

“OK, Mr. Shi.”

Early in the morning the next day, Ko Gohon brought his 10 bodyguards along, and close to 100 media reporters followed him from behind, carrying all their equipment and dashing towards Chenhui Building with a majestic and strong aura.

Along the way, the flashlights coming from the reporters’ cameras were ceaseless and sounded and flashed throughout the whole journey. They were waiting to see what exactly this Big Young Master of Toyoda Conglomerate wanted to do. And Ko Gohon was gritting his teeth, his expression evident that he was going for a fight. In no time, various news spread everywhere, and the reporters all came to a consensus—Ko Gohon wasn’t willing to admit defeat, so he was going to use force to threaten the other party instead…

Very soon, they reached Chenhui Building. The large group went in in high spirits and directly rushed to Caiwei Entertainment on the ninth floor. Just as they reached the main entrance, they were stopped by one of Hong Dali’s lackeys. “Hey, isn’t this Young Master Gohon? You brought so many people here… Are you planning to pick up a fight?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Where’s Hong Dali?!” Ko Gohon icily humphed. He was very far from that lackey, yet he didn’t dare to go over. He angrily said, “Ask him to come out and see me! Now, right away!”

“You’re looking for Young Master?” The aura that Ko Gohon emitted this time had evidently scared the lackey. “You can just look for us if you want to fight. Our Young Master is a very good person, he never fights!”

All the surrounding reporters furiously took snaps of the scene, and there was even someone who directly wrote down “Toyoda Conglomerate’s successor Ko Gohon looks for Young Master Hong Dali for a fight” and then posted it on Weibo. Instantly, there was an overwhelming amount of views, and he was rewarded 500 yuan by his boss…

“Who says I’m finding him for a fight? Hurry up, there’s a limit to my patience!” Ko Gohon berated.

“Alright, then please wait for a while…” The male lackey couldn’t help but run inside.

A short while later, Hong Dali slowly took his time and walked out, rubbing his eyes as he walked. “Ko Gohon, what are you doing? Are you still letting people live? I was sleeping well, why are you disturbing me?”

“Ah, Young Master Dali, you’ve come out!” Ko Gohon’s facial expression could be compared to the level of an Oscar Best Actor, as it instantly underwent a 180-degree transformation. He bowed and greeted as he walked forward, almost as if he were currying favor, saying, “Young Master Dali—oh no, Young Lord, Young Lord Hong Dali, this time, I concede and admit defeat. You’re the only candidate for being a Young Lord, you are the lamp that lights up the way, you are the immortal that has come to earth, you are the only true immortal in this world. I admit defeat, please be magnanimous and just treat me like nothing and let me go, how’s that?”

Once he acted humble and said this, it instantly shocked everyone around.

This… This was the sole successor of Toyoda Conglomerate? Nobody would believe if this was spread out—his cheesiness, it would be too much of currying favor even if he were said to be Hong Dali’s lackey.

“Have you taken the wrong medication?!” Hong Dali disdainfully retreated two steps. “If you have any matter, say it out, don’t say all these useless stuff!”

All the reporters present took pictures at a rapid speed. This was definitely headline news, and the title would be called “Toyoda Conglomerate’s Young Master wants to be Hong Dali’s lackey, but the Young Lord doesn’t accept him!’

“I’m speaking the truth.” Ko Gohon expressed his grief. “Young Lord Hong Dali, I’ve lost in my bet with you, and I wholeheartedly concede defeat. Here is 150 million USD. 100 million is the compensation fee from Feng Yun website, while 50 million is for our bet. Please take a look!”

150 million USD! That was definitely super generous!

All the reporters were exceedingly curious, and without hesitation, they rapidly took snaps of the scene again. The title would be “Earth-shaking bet, Ko Gohon and Hong Dali’s wealthy bet of the century!”.

“You know that I’ve never liked cheques.” Hong Dali rubbed his nose. “Convert them all to Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousines. In this case, there would be more or less enough taxis at the sci-fi town…”

Damn you, you still want cars!

Ko Gohon’s felt a sharp pinch at his heart, but he had to bear with small things and look at the bigger picture. He had to agree to everything that Hong Dali said today! Ko Gohon smiled as if he were crying instead. “Sure, sure. Then, Young Lord Dali, it’s settled! I’ll go back to my country right away, and I’ll send you the cars within these few days. Do you have any other requests?”

“Requests…” Hong Dali thought for a while, then waved his hand. “Don’t come here if there isn’t anything important, I get annoyed just by seeing you.”

“Yes yes yes, then I’ll leave right now, right now!” Ko Gohon bowed and agreed, then he turned around. “Young Lord Dali doesn’t like to see us here, let’s go back to our country right away!”

“Go, go, have a smooth trip. If there isn’t anything else, I’ll go back to sleep. Seriously… You disturb my sleep every single time, aren’t you annoying… I’m so tired…”

Hong Dali turned around and went back inside.

Ko Gohon had gone to admit defeat to Hong Dali on his own accord. This matter which his attitude changed so much in, from the initial arrogance to the eventual extreme respectfulness and submissiveness only took two hours before it exploded throughout the internet.

“Latest news, the earth-shaking big bet between Toyoda Conglomerate’s successor Ko Gohon and Young Lord Hong Dali!”—Easy Net News.

“Shocking twist, previously cocky Ko Gohon went on his own accord to admit defeat to Young Lord Hong Dali, and made a face-to-face acknowledgment that only Hong Dali deserves to be addressed as Young Lord in this world!”—Xinhai News.

“Miracle! This is the first transnational court case victory in Heavenly State! Young Lord Hong Dali is impressive. Long live Heavenly State!”—Soulang News.

“The great Young Lord Hong Dali! He has succeeded in our tradition of the glory of our Heavenly State. The souls of Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Sima Yi, and Zhou Yu are all in his body at this moment! The single person, Hong Dali, represents the 5,000 years of history and tradition in our entire Heavenly State. At this point in time, he is not fighting alone, he is not alone!”—Famous internet rapper king, Wang Jianxiang.

And this was only a start!

During the battle of the century this time, what Hong Dali’s side had gained had far exceeded everyone’s imagination!
