Currently, he is driving the Byton Y8, an innovative luxury off-road SUV created by BYD Company.
It features top-notch technology such as the YunniP and Yifang, with a four-motor independent torque vectoring control system that allows handling of various extreme terrains, maintains stability in the event of a high-speed tire blowout, offers emergency water-floating capabilities, the ability to turn in place, among other powerful off-road and safety features.
With full power from the four motors, it can deliver 1200 horsepower, sprinting from zero to a hundred meters in just 3.6 seconds.
You could say that in the future, if wealthy individuals want to go off-road, they will likely choose this luxury vehicle as their mode of transport.
The middle-aged man recently had BYD Company custom-make a bulletproof, anti-rocket, and anti-mine explosion armored version of the Byton Y8.
It’s safe to say that the safety features are taken to the extreme, and it’s the most fortified Byton Y8 in the world—there’s only one such vehicle.
Trailing behind the Byton Y8 are ten Jeep Wranglers.
All ten Wranglers have bulletproof customized bodies, with many white men on board holding AK rifles.
They wear sunglasses and bulletproof vests, fully armed, looking very professional.
"Boss, this wealthy businessman from the East sure knows how to have fun, coming to the grasslands just to see lions, and even spending ten million US dollars to hire us from Sky Shield Security Company as their bodyguards,
rich people really do value their lives," a white man wearing sunglasses in one of the Wranglers mocked while drinking water.
"Fool, do you even know who the boss is? He’s Huang Tianliang, CEO of Asia’s largest building materials production group, with assets calculated in the billions,
this time he’s traveling with his daughter Huang Lianlian, and spending just ten million US dollars for bodyguards is already quite restrained,"
scolded the bearded man in the passenger seat of a Wrangler, cradling an AK and vigilantly watching the surroundings.
This business deal is extremely important, not only concerning money but also relates to the reputation of the Sky Shield Security Company.
If anything were to happen to Huang Tianliang while under their protection, or if he somehow got injured, it would tarnish the name of Sky Shield Security Company.
Then there could be a decline in their industry status, and no wealthy individuals would dare to hire them again.
For a security company, this would be a fatal blow.
So today, no matter what, Huang Tianliang must not encounter any mishaps under their watch.
"Rest assured, boss, this time the information lockdown is absolutely tight, the local gangs don’t even know that such a big shot has arrived on the grasslands,
and even if they dare to come, we can ensure they won’t leave in one piece," a team member confidently smirked.
The reason Sky Shield Security Company can reach the world’s top and be recognized by most wealthy individuals, leading them to hire their services,
is no joke. Sky Shield Security Company even possesses three retired fighter jets bought from who knows where.
They can be called for support from the ground, getting air support in no time.
With such terrifying strength, there’s never been someone Sky Shield Security Company couldn’t protect on this land.
No matter how heavily armed your local gang is, can they withstand bombs falling from the sky?
"Hope so."
...
The Byton Y8 slowly approaches a white rhino, with Huang Lianlian in the passenger seat, concentrated as she observes the rare albino rhino through the window.
The rhino’s horn had already been sawed off, likely by workers from an animal protection organization.
Typically, poachers would kill the rhino outright to violently saw off the horn.
Only animal protectionists would first use a tranquilizer to sedate the rhino before removing its horn.
Without the horn, the rhino would no longer be a target for poachers, essentially saving its life.
"Honk!"
Just as Huang Lianlian prepared to take out her phone to snap a photo,
the white rhino and a gray rhino suddenly bolted away as if startled.
These massive creatures, despite weighing over a ton, disappeared from Huang Lianlian’s sight in an instant with great speed.
"What’s going on?" Huang Lianlian asked, puzzled.
The driver, acting as a bodyguard, suddenly changed his expression as he looked at the dusty horizon to the south.
As they got closer, it became clear that it was a group of lions.
Normally reigning as the overlords of the grasslands, they were now fleeing desperately as if confronted by a formidable foe.
More than thirty lions were running for their lives while, at the tail end of their group, a man was strolling serenely.
With his hands behind his back, he occasionally tapped the ground with his feet, leaping with ease.
As if flying, he maintained a distance of about five meters from the lion pride, seemingly toying with them.
The leading golden-maned lion seemed to have exhausted its energy and chose to make a last stand.
Turning to roar fiercely at the approaching man, frothing at the mouth.
Yet, the man leaped forward, descending from above, and landed a foot on the forehead of the golden-maned lion, crushing its body to the ground.
This golden-maned lion stretched to 3.6 meters long, making it an enormous presence even among its peers.
Undoubtedly, this golden-maned lion was the king of the pride.
As soon as Wang Longhu’s foot pressed it to the ground, the lion angrily swiped at Wang Longhu’s body.
But with a simple hand block, Wang Longhu easily deflected the lion’s paw.
No matter the strength of a beast, it was nothing before Wang Longhu.
"I just want a mount. In ancient times, Taoists rode green oxen, white cranes, and tigers; the Buddha rode lions, elephants, and rhinos. So what’s the trouble with wanting you as my mount? Does it insult you? Ungrateful beast,"
Wang Longhu remarked, slapping the lion’s face with a seemingly gentle hand.
Yet to the lion, it felt like a hammer blow, leaving its vision starry as it collapsed, unable to move, reduced to a low, submissive growl.
Unyielding, Wang Longhu yanked the lion up off the ground and followed with a barrage of punches to its head.
Not wanting to harm it fatally since he intended to use it as his mount,
otherwise, those punches alone would have turned this lion into pulp.
Under the punishing blows from Wang Longhu, the lion finally whimpered, beginning to yield.
Curled and cowering on the ground, it could only whimper in protest, resembling a massive golden Maine Coon begging to be petted.
"Get up and take me for a walk."
With a lift of his hands, Wang Longhu hoisted the massive golden-maned lion into a standing position, letting it stand on all fours before mounting it.
Say no more, the lion’s 3.6-meter back was soft and meaty, like a giant cushion, not uncomfortable to sit on at all.
"Quite nice indeed, definitely a decent mount," Wang Longhu nodded in satisfaction.
In the distance, the people inside more than a dozen vehicles witnessed Wang Longhu’s lion-taming feat in its entirety, shocked to the point of jaw-dropping.
They couldn’t fathom that such a fierce individual existed in this world,
capable of taming a lion with mere human strength.
This was akin to the prowess of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas described in Eastern Buddhist lore!
Huang Tianliang watched Wang Longhu in amazement; while he himself wasn’t religious, his wife was a Buddhist believer.
In Buddhist imagery, Manjushri Bodhisattva rides a blue lion,
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva rides a yellow lion, 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
and Maitreya Bodhisattva rides a lion as well.
So those who can ride lions in Buddhism without question embody great Divine Power.
See if you can find a Buddhist master today who can ride a lion without getting bitten.
Ordinary disciples are nowhere near the level to be called Buddhas or Bodhisattvas.
In Wang Longhu’s own words, so-called Buddha and Bodhisattvas from ancient times, including Shakyamuni, were likely just a group of physically powerful cultivators.
If translated to today’s terms, then he, Wang Longhu, is also a Buddha, also a Bodhisattva.
Worthy of having temples built in his honor, with constant incense worship and gold statues erected by thousands.
