Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 197 Pets (1st Update)

Gona arrived with a bouquet of rainbow-colored roses. He had just approached Qin Yuhan and was about to speak when Wu Tian, who was sitting beside her, kicked him.

BOOM!

The sole of his shoe connected with Gona’s handsome face, sending him flying backward.

Everyone was stunned.

"Young Master!" Watt cried out, hurrying over to help Gona up.

Being a foreigner, Gona was naturally fair-skinned, but now his face was swollen like a pig’s head. His own parents probably wouldn’t have recognized him.

Wu Tian hadn’t used any real force in that kick. Otherwise, Gona would already be dead.

Yet Gona wasn’t angry. He looked at Wu Tian, chuckled, and then obediently took a seat.

"Watt, don’t mind me. Please continue what you were saying."

"Yes, Young Master," Watt nodded.

Gona sat there quietly.

This Gona reminded Wu Tian of someone else—the ancient king, Goujian. He was the kind of man who could endure unimaginable hardship, one who would famously sleep on firewood and taste bile to fuel his quest for vengeance. It was a testament to an unyielding will. It’s no coincidence that the Rothschild Family stands at the pinnacle of the world.

Gona was nothing like the spoiled heirs Wu Tian had encountered before, like Nalan Feng.

Watt glanced at Gona, relieved to see he was alright. He then scanned Tellam, Qin Yuhan, and the others before saying, "Though he was late, there was a reason. I’ve said that this meeting treats everyone equally and lateness will not be tolerated, no matter who you are. However, he is a true exception. First, he is a man of great passion. Second, he is a man of great talent."

He continued, "If any of you can establish a bank on your own merit, you can skip any future meetings you wish. The Rothschild Family will also honor you as a distinguished guest."

Qin Yuhan, Li Muge, and the others at the meeting frowned slightly.

Wu Tian just chuckled. That Watt has no idea I could easily open two or three banks on my own. If I were merely the King of Soldiers, I’d only be able to rely on brute force against someone like Gona, and that would be insufficient. But I am not just the King of Soldiers.

The meeting soon ended. Qin Yuhan was about to go for a meal with Wu Tian, but just as they were leaving the conference room, they saw Bing Hong. She was still waiting, and the person she was waiting for was Gona.

She was filled with regret. Seeing how successful Lin Fa had become, she regretted choosing Nangong Yi and Hua Biehe over him. Nangong Yi had been reduced to an ordinary mortal in the city. As for Hua Biehe, he was being suppressed by Nalan Jie at the Nalan Group and was now just a low-level employee. Meanwhile, Lin Fa was the boss of a subsidiary. Bing Hong wanted to win him back, but it was already impossible.

Fortunately, Gona emerged at that moment.

Why would a man like Gona use a woman like Bing Hong? Wu Tian wondered.

Qin Yuhan whispered, "He once said he uses gentlemen for noble deeds and scoundrels for vile ones."

Wu Tian nodded. The Rothschild Family truly lives up to its reputation as a great clan. He mulled it over for a moment but didn’t dwell on it.

Gona came out, his pig-like, swollen face particularly conspicuous.

Bing Hong hesitated for a second before approaching with a fawning expression. "Young Master Gona, it makes me so happy to see you again. I realize now my past affections were just childish folly. You are my one true love."

"Am I number one in your heart?" Although his face was swollen, Gona’s dignified air hadn’t diminished in the slightest. He still spoke with the grace of a nobleman.

"Yes, of course," Bing Hong nodded quickly.

"And what about compared to him?" Gona smiled, deliberately glancing at Wu Tian’s retreating figure.

Bing Hong knew Gona was referring to Wu Tian. Wu Tian was a man she could never figure out. A head of the logistics department who somehow knew powerful people and had such incredible business acumen. But then she thought about Gona’s family and immediately said, "He can’t compare to you in any way."

"Nonsense!"

SMACK! Gona slapped her, sending her to the ground.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to Gona.

But Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and Li Muge, who were walking ahead, didn’t even turn around.

Seeing this only irritated Gona more. He vented his anger on Bing Hong, kicking her several times. "Bitch! You lied to me!" he seethed. "If he had no redeeming qualities, why would the woman I love like him? Are you trying to say the woman I love is blind? Is that a death wish? For him to be my rival, he can’t be an ordinary person. Lie to me again, and you will die."

After kicking her a few more times, his anger subsided, and Gona calmed down.

Covered in bruises, Bing Hong struggled back to her feet.

Gona’s tone, which had just been savage, softened. "Do you still love me?" he asked.

Bing Hong was terrified of this man. I could guess what was on Nangong Yi’s and Hua Biehe’s minds, but Gona... sometimes I can’t figure him out at all.

Faced with his question, however, she still replied, "I do. I love you."

"Good." Gona nodded, satisfied. He paid no mind to the onlookers as he said, "You are my pet. As long as I’m around, I won’t let you suffer."

"I... I’m willing," Bing Hong replied, nodding joyfully.

A pet? She no longer cared. As long as she had the protection of the Rothschild Family, she didn’t care if she was a pet, a bitch, or anything else.

Gona nodded, sneering inwardly. How pathetic. Utterly pathetic! You’ve completely disgraced all the women of the Dragon Country!

As Gona walked away, many people from the Qin Corporation—both men and women—hurried to his side to flatter him.

"A lot of people in the corporation have already switched their allegiance to him," Qin Yuhan said to Wu Tian as they walked. She had been worried, but with Wu Tian by her side, she felt fearless. A profound sense of security washed over her. No matter how great the storm, having him there was enough.

"Isn’t that perfect?" Wu Tian shook his head. "Out with the old, in with the new. This has drawn out all the little rats in the company. It’s the perfect opportunity to catch them all in one net."

Qin Yuhan nodded and then asked Wu Tian if he was confident.

Wu Tian nodded in response.

Anyone else would truly be no match for Gona. I can see he’s no simple-minded fool. Moreover, the man has some foundation in the Martial Path. This is only to be expected. As one of the ten great families of Europe, how could the Rothschilds lack a foundation in the Martial Path? But to me, Gona is nothing special. In truth, there are probably people just like Gona from ordinary families. The only reason he shines so brightly is because of his family’s status. Some geniuses have to spend their whole lives struggling to make ends meet. When would they ever have the leisure and luxury that Gona enjoys to learn the Martial Path or eight different languages? Thinking about it that way, Gona is nothing special after all.
