Chapter 1895: The Mistress

"I know you," Chen Yu nodded. "You are Qiongsi's father, Mr. Gele's wife, and also the mistress of this manor."

"Mr. Chen is quite comprehensive in his understanding of things," Ximeng smiled lightly.

"We have already moved in; if I didn't even know who the mistress of this place was, wouldn't that seem a bit disrespectful?" Chen Yu said calmly. "I still need to understand your most basic interpersonal relationships."

"Haha, Mr. Chen, with your status and ability, you actually don't need to do so much homework on us, because with your strength, no matter where you go, you will be sought after by others," Ximeng laughed.

"I'm not as formidable as you say," Chen Yu smiled slightly and couldn't help but take a few more looks at Ximeng.

This woman seemed to have the intention of winning him over; she was worthy of being from the Roy Family and was also the mistress of the Shilaike Family—her thoughts and methods were beyond what ordinary people could reach.

"Mr. Chen, don't be modest. In the battle at the Grand Canyon last night, you were the one in command. If it weren't for you, those hundreds of Werewolves spreading out in Yizhou would have been no laughing matter," Ximeng said with a chuckle.

"Last night? The Grand Canyon?" Chen Yu's brow furrowed slightly. "What does the Madam mean? I don't quite understand."

"Mr. Chen," Ximeng smiled slightly. "Our Roy Family's intelligence system is very accurate. We already know everything about what happened last night."

"Then there is no point in me covering it up anymore," Chen Yu smiled slightly. He was curious if Roy knew about his relationship with the God Lord now.

"Haha, this isn't covering up; it's just that Mr. Chen doesn't want us to know too much," Ximeng chuckled. "But I would like to ask you, Mr. Chen, are you planning to choose Qiongsi?"

"What does the Madam mean?" Chen Yu glanced at her.

"Mr. Chen understands what I mean. My son and Qiongsi are half-brothers," Ximeng said. "The Shilaike Family is about to change leadership."

"Originally, with the power of my Roy Family, my son is the most suitable candidate. Unfortunately, Qiongsi is the eldest son, and the position of Head of Family was decided long ago, so we lost our chance."

"Qiongsi was supposed to die last night. If it weren't for Mr. Chen saving him, he would be dead by now," Ximeng looked up at Chen Yu.

"Indeed, with over a hundred Werewolves, if I hadn't saved him, there wouldn't even be scraps left of him now," Chen Yu laughed. "Did I ruin the Madam's plan?"

"Not at all, Mr. Chen has that kind of strength," Ximeng smiled. "We just want to conspire in a great undertaking with you, because choosing Qiongsi now is not the best choice."

"My family is the Roy Family. If my son successfully ascends to the position of Head of the Shilaike Family, then we will advance even further. You know the foundation of the Roy Family, right?"

"Of course I do. You are the largest arms manufacturer in the world," Chen Yu nodded slightly. "Your presence has been felt in several wars."

"And you also like to incite wars, because only in war are you the biggest beneficiaries," Chen Yu laughed. "Am I right?"

"It seems Mr. Chen really knows quite a lot about our family," Ximeng said with a chuckle. "That's right, we play a very important role in war."

"Because as long as there is war, our family can profit greatly from it. After all, we are in the arms business, and our research and development capabilities are very strong; we even possess small-yield nuclear weapons within the family."

"Truly formidable. Your private armed forces could threaten the local government, right?" Chen Yu glanced at her. "It's also impressive that they have allowed you to exist for so long."

"They are very unwilling for us to exist, but now our growth rate has exceeded their expectations, so even if they don't want to see us, there is nothing they can do about it," Ximeng said leisurely.

"Our Roy Family has a long history. Our ability to develop weapons is very strong, and the military equipment for the Western World and even the M-Country is manufactured by us."

Chen Yu's brow furrowed. He knew the Roy Family was strong, but he didn't know this family was strong to such an extent.

With this kind of strength, even the authorities in Yizhou probably have to act according to their wishes, right?

"Mr. Chen, are you feeling very surprised?" Ximeng was very satisfied with Chen Cong's reaction.

"I am indeed a bit surprised," Chen Yu nodded slightly.

"Then, Mr. Chen, why not reconsider your relationship with us? After all, we have more advantages than that person," Ximeng said with a slight smile.

"I won't reconsider this," Chen Yu shook his head slowly. "I am a bit stubborn; things I have decided on generally won't be easily changed."

"Moreover, I have an agreement with Qiongsi, so I am not considering betraying my ally for the time being."

"You view Qiongsi as an ally?" Ximeng felt it was inconceivable. "His strength is more than just a little bit inferior to ours."

"And does Mr. Chen think that being an enemy of our Roy Family is a good thing?"

"Of course it's not a good thing," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I'm afraid your Roy Family is the only one in the world that possesses high-yield weapons, right? Making an enemy of such a family is probably not a good thing."

"Then why don't you consider becoming our ally?" Ximeng asked.

"There is no need to consider that," Chen Yu laughed. "Things I have said, things I am about to do—once determined, they will not be easily changed."

"Perhaps. Qiongsi's strength is not as good as yours, but if you support someone with average strength to take the position, wouldn't there be more fun in that?"

Ximeng's expression changed slightly, but she immediately continued to smile and said, "Mr. Chen, you were able to wipe out nearly a hundred Werewolves in one go; your strength is indeed formidable."

"But our Roy Family still has other means. I might as well tell you: my son will definitely take the position of Head of the Shilaike Family. It doesn't matter who comes; if you happen to get hurt in the process, that wouldn't be very good."

"Thanks for the warning, but there shouldn't be anyone in this world who can hurt me," Chen Yu glanced at her and then turned to leave.

"Then, Mr. Chen, let's wait and see who will have the last laugh. I'll be waiting for you," Ximeng sneered, her eyes full of coldness.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered a real opponent. I look forward to your methods," Chen Yu said without looking back.

Ximeng watched Chen Yu's back; she didn't hum until he had disappeared, then she walked away with elegant steps.

The pride inherent in a noble did not allow her to take Chen Yu too seriously. She did not believe Chen Yu could stir up any trouble, because this was Yizhou, the territory of her Roy Family.
