Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 198: A Trivial Matter (2nd Update)

Wu Tian’s return to the Qin Corporation delighted quite a few people, mostly those who respected him and were capable of gratitude. They were grateful to the Qin Corporation for putting food on their tables, so much so that they had passed up the opportunity to engage with the famous Rothschild Family.

Meanwhile, Qin Yuhan promoted Wu Tian to Vice President. He had his own office but still no secretary.

"For the secretary, it would be best to have a man," Qin Yuhan suggested.

Wu Tian’s expression darkened. In this world, if a man becomes president or vice president, would his secretary ever be a man? He simply didn’t believe it.

After work, Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and Li Muge went home together. Gona and Watt did the same, heading to the villa they had bought on Baiyun Mountain in Yang City.

As soon as he returned to the villa, Gona finished his meal and immediately began cultivating his Martial Path.

"My young master, you are working far too hard," Watt said, looking at Gona with a pained expression.

Gona shook his head and threw punch after punch, his fists whistling through the air with the roar of a tiger and the clap of thunder.

Half-step Innate—that was the level of Gona’s current strength. To have reached this stage at the age of twenty was an incredible feat. According to public records, no other young man in Dragon Country had achieved this yet. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Hard work? No, Uncle Watt, you are mistaken. You only see my current struggles, but you don’t see what my hard work will bring me. I’ve heard that in the Martial Arts World of Dragon Country, there is a title known as the Supreme of the Martial Arts World. Yes, that is my goal," Gona said earnestly.

His father had nine sons, and he was not the most outstanding among them. However, in terms of comprehensive strength, he, Gona, was the strongest. Unfortunately, his father did not like him.

Gona needed to accomplish something great before he could return to his family. He wanted to use his glorious achievements to prove to them that only under his leadership could the family reach even greater heights.

"If you want to achieve something, you must have motivation. That’s the secret of the Rothschild Family," Watt sighed. The rise of the Rothschild Family wasn’t a smooth journey; they had faced many opponents along the way.

"So, young master, is Wu Tian the opponent you have your sights set on?"

"Wu Tian?" Upon hearing the name, Gona stopped his punches, fell silent for a moment, and then smirked with disdain. "When he kicked me, I let him. It was intentional. He’s also practiced martial arts, but unfortunately, his strength hasn’t even reached the Innate realm. He’s a far cry from me. He is merely my first-level opponent, not my true rival."

He continued with all seriousness, "Watt, we’ve both played games. The opponent in the first level is easy. The second-level opponent is a bit harder, and the third is harder still. This Wu Tian is nothing more than my first-level opponent. Within a week, I will make him admire me from the bottom of his heart. I’ll make him understand completely that he is no match for me."

"Yes," Watt nodded, looking at Gona with admiration. "You have both a powerful background and immense personal ability. Perhaps the legend of the Rothschild Five Tigers will be reborn through you."

"By then, Miss Qin Yuhan will naturally understand that you are stronger than anyone else."

"Wrong, you’re completely wrong," Gona countered, crossing his arms with an indifferent tone. "You still think I actually like Qin Yuhan? The truth is, she’s merely a part of my plan. I want to control Dragon Country’s economy, something the People of Dragon Country would never allow. Therefore, she will be my puppet. That is why I am pursuing her."

Watt didn’t quite understand Gona’s approach. In his mind, perhaps that was just how geniuses were. The actions of a genius were often incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Wu Tian had no idea what Gona was thinking. Even if he did, he would have just laughed it off. Gona is seriously overthinking things.

It seemed Gona wanted to make a name for himself in Dragon Country, and he was set on starting in Yang City. Unfortunately for him, Yang City was a place Wu Tian had his own eyes on.

Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and Li Muge arrived home to find Murong Yezi and the little one waiting for them to eat.

Little Kirin, carrying an egg on its back, immediately ran up to Wu Tian the moment he returned and chirped excitedly.

Wu Tian nodded at Little Kirin before joining Murong Yezi and the others for dinner.

On the dinner table, the most eye-catching dishes were pork kidney soup and bullwhip rice. Both had been prepared especially for Wu Tian.

Wu Tian had no appetite whatsoever.

After everyone finished eating, Murong Yezi looked at Wu Tian and said, "Your father-in-law has something he needs to see you and Yuhan about."

Holding the little one, Qin Yuhan said to Li Muge, "Mom, please take care of things here."

Li Muge agreed.

Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and the little one left.

This time, Wu Tian was driving while Qin Yuhan amused the little one.

"Mama, Mama, you’re so nice," the little one called out to Qin Yuhan.

Qin Yuhan was taken aback and confused. "What did I do that you’re calling me nice?"

"Your bunnies are so big! I just watched a show that said babies who drink their mommy’s milk grow up to be extra smart. Thanks, Mom!" the little one said with a grateful expression.

Qin Yuhan was moved. The next moment, however, the little one’s tone shifted. "It’s a shame Dad isn’t so lucky."

Qin Yuhan fell silent, a bad feeling suddenly washing over her.

Wu Tian, who was driving, froze for a second. His expression remained placid, but he still said, "I suppose I should have a look."

Qin Yuhan knew what Wu Tian meant. Lowering her head, she replied, "We’ll talk tonight."

***

When they arrived at Qin Zhengyang’s house, the door was opened by Qin Yujie.

"Sister, brother-in-law, hello there," Qin Yujie greeted them with a smile.

The smile looked sunny, but to Wu Tian, it was completely fake.

Qin Yuhan responded with a quick greeting, but the usually bold little one buried his head in her chest, as if not wanting to see Qin Yujie. Wu Tian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at the sight.

"Come in, come in. Grandpa’s waiting," Qin Yujie said, ushering them inside.

In the main hall, Qin Shanfeng, Qin Zhengyang, Qin Zhengxin, and Ye Lan were all present.

The moment Qin Shanfeng saw Wu Tian, he immediately stood up. "My dear grandson-in-law, you’re finally here. Our family has a matter we’ve been waiting to discuss with you."

"Yes," Qin Zhengxin added, his tone apologetic.

It had actually been his idea to summon Wu Tian today. He had always felt that the medicinal herb cosmetics business was selling exceptionally well because it was leveraging Wu Tian’s name. When Qin Zhengyang returned, Qin Zhengxin told him about it. A shocked Qin Zhengyang insisted they had to obtain Wu Tian’s forgiveness first, which was the reason for today’s Qin Family gathering.

"Just say what you want to say. What is this about?" Wu Tian asked, cutting to the chase. He already had an idea and knew full well what kind of attitude to expect from Qin Zhengxin and his wife.

"Oh, it’s just a small matter," Ye Lan said with a nonchalant shrug. "Wu Tian, we started a cosmetics company. How about we give you five percent of the shares? Just accept them first, and then your aunt here will tell you about a few other small things."
