The Rebirth of the Legendary King
This Is Just the Beginning
The Chen Company.
Back then, Chen Qi, the shareholders, and the staff were watching the live broadcast. They had already seen Ling on that big screen. Now they cannot speak.
The personnel director thought about Ling's words before he left Chen Company.
'Small companies like Lu Company have scared you. How can you survive in Shadow City?'
He shuddered when he remembered that. He thought at that time Ling was only comforting them by carrying the name of Shadow City. But when he saw that he made Lu Company go silent during the press conference, the director trusted Ling.
"I didn't expect Young Master to turn things around and convince the public. For decades working in the business world, this is the first time I've witnessed such a tense battle" said one shareholder. It is thin and very tall.
"The paper that Young Master gave us must be realized. We're going to have a press conference this afternoon and announce a new proposal" the skinny man said.
Everyone in the room agreed. Now they can breathe a little.

Chen Wu received a message from the higher-ups at Chen Company. He laughed when he read the message. He didn't return messages. He walked over to Chen Lin's side and announced about the plan ahead for Chen Company.
Ling will come out of the room. He walked straight towards the door. Every man and journalist paved the way for him. He curled his lips and formed a cold smile.
As Wuzhou looked at it, he clenched his hands tightly. This is not the plan. He wanted Chen Company to declare their bankruptcy. However Ling could instead team up with the Zhuo Family, the Yu Family, and Yuan Ming.
How could they lose to useless trash?
"Lu Yan," said Wuzhou raising his head.
"Just calm. We still have Lord Han. Even though he had the support of the Yu Family who held the military control, it remained that they were not opponents of the Shadow City people. Lord Han definitely has a way to bring them down," Wuzhou continued to calm down.
"The important thing now is to take control of the situation," Lu Yan replied looking frustrated. The press conference was chaotic.
"I'll call Mr. Han. We better end the press conference today" Wuzhou said, trying to calm Lu Yan down.
They should have announced their wedding today. But it was canceled because of Ling.
Wuzhou's face grew grim. As he lifted his head, Ling was already beside him and stopped walking.
"Don't be too surprised. Ease your emotions" Ling said without seeing Wuzhou.
"However ... This is just the beginning," Ling continued.
He left the silent press conference room. They were stunned to see Ling's departure.
At that moment, Yu Bin immediately came to his senses from his daydream. Ling's cold smile still lingered in his mind. But he chose to keep walking out.
"Wait, Miss Yu," said Lu Yan stopping Yu Bin.
"I don't know why you're working with Chen Company. You are a military family. You have no right to interfere in the affairs of the company. Are you afraid of breaking the law?" lu Yan asked trying to intimidate Yu Bin.
Yu Bin chuckles.
He replied, "Did you forget how the Yu Family lived all this time? We never listen to anyone's orders."
Yu Bin's reply was stark. Lu Yan instantly froze. He only remembered that the Yu Family had never been under anyone's control. They also never listened to anyone, except the war generals.
"Hurry to contact Mr. Han" Lu Yan told Wuzhou. He's getting frustrated.
After a few minutes, the press conference ended.
"Why did you interview him? Better interview Miss Yu. He rarely appears in the media" replied one of the reporters.
"That's true. But are you aware? This is the Lu Company's territory. They held a press conference to discuss Project L. However due to Young Master Chen's presence taking over, they didn't say anything. He must be great. I think you guys also forgot about the initial purpose of the press conference was to discuss Project L" said the reporter who wanted to interview Ling.

In a house in Urban City.
Zhuo Xia was sitting at his desk. In front of her was A Shui looking at her.
"The information you seek is hidden. I know you're a good hacker. But if you break through information with high security, you can be in prison" Zhuo Xia said.
A Shui raised his head and allowed his glasses. He closed the laptop on his lap that was displaying live video.
"alright. I won't investigate anymore" said A Shui.
A Shui went out and brought his laptop. The white ribbon on his wrist swung. His forehead looks pucker.
That guy doesn't like being in a crowd. He does not like to be photographed and watched.
But as he looked at the man's cold smile at the press conference, that expression was exactly the same as the person he had in his memory.

The next day, Ling was in school as usual. He and Liam walked together from the gate.
"Give this to Grandpa Zhuo," Ling said throwing something.
For Grandpa? inner Liam.
Liam accepted the thing. It was a square-shaped wooden plaque with dragon carvings on it. He looked at it carefully. But he has no shadow. So he just kept it in his pocket.
They walked up the stairs. At this moment Ling got all sorts of strange gazes. He knew it was because of the press conference. But he did not expect the impact would be this big.
Ling entered the class. He walked in his bag and school uniform. People don't have to see his face. They knew it was Ling when they saw his shadow.
Ling ignored that look. He walked to his desk.
As he sat down, the bell rang.
The first lesson is mathematics. Yuan lowered his head and recorded the duties of the teacher. Now he is more diligent in studying. Yet he glanced at Ling many times.
Everyone had seen Ling at the press conference. Now the feeling of fear, awe, confusion, became one in Yuan. He never thought Ling would be a different person.
Ling looked back at him. He was shocked and almost fell off the chair.
Brak!
Ling threw an empty book.
"Fokuslah. Take notes in my book, too" Ling said casually. He sat down and crossed his arms.
Sharp view. His black hair contrasted with his white skin. He looks uncaring but elegant at the same time. His charm made his teacher or classmate drift away when he saw Ling.
Yuan immediately noted. Now the task is increased because it also has to take notes in Ling's book.
