Hearing this, Chen Xiao smiled faintly. "What’s the rush?"

"Lord Chen! Of course I’m in a rush! You’re so incredibly capable that I’ve been dying to repay the favor I owe you, but I’ve never had the chance. Now that you’re finally asking me for help, how could I not bring my A-game?" Robin said, looking anxious as he scratched his head. "Lord Chen, I’m booking a flight back to the country right now! We can talk about the details when I get back, right?"

In truth, he already had a good idea of why Chen Xiao had sought him out. A man as powerful and omnipotent as Chen Xiao would only need him for financial matters. After all, that was his only real skill.

"Alright," Chen Xiao nodded.

「The next day, at three in the afternoon.」

Chen Xiao was waiting at Jinling Airport right on time for Robin’s arrival. Soon enough, a muscular man wearing a floral shirt, shorts, and sunglasses strolled out of the terminal.

The moment he saw Chen Xiao, Robin rushed over and threw his arms around him in an excited hug. "Lord Chen! I’ve missed you!"

"Get off, get off, get off—" Chen Xiao said with a look of disgust. "If anyone saw you, the so-called Wall Street Assassin, acting so undignified, your reputation would be ruined."

Hearing this, Robin just laughed heartily. "Who cares? What’s a reputation in front of you, Lord Chen?"

"You’ve gotten more solid. Looks like you’ve been training hard," Chen Xiao observed, glancing him over.

"I’m a man who’s died once, after all," Robin chuckled. "Your health is your most important asset, right? Besides, there’s a world full of women out there waiting for me to share my love."

Chen Xiao was speechless.

The two got into the car and left the airport. On the way, Chen Xiao gave him a brief rundown of the situation.

Robin took off his sunglasses. "The Lu Corporation is spending a hundred billion to come after you, Lord Chen? How dare they? Acting all tough with just a hundred billion? Lord Chen, let me put them in their place for you!"

This wasn’t just talk; he was genuinely that good. He controlled an enormous amount of capital, as foreign business tycoons entrusted their assets to his management. He could mobilize those funds with a single phone call, and those titans of industry were more than happy for him to do so. Every time Robin waged a financial war, he came back with his coffers overflowing, allowing them all to take a slice of the pie.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao just smiled calmly. "No need. I’ve prepared over a hundred billion in funds. That should be enough. I could use your connections, but I don’t want to win this victory with other people’s money."

After all, if those foreign tycoons were to bring their capital into this, they would certainly demand a share of the profits, and he wasn’t willing to give that away.

Robin nodded. "Lord Chen, you really are incredible. Casually pulling together a hundred billion!"

Robin knew that for someone of Chen Xiao’s caliber, raising a hundred billion was no great feat. When he was recovering at the Hidden Gate, he had witnessed Chen Xiao’s formidable skills firsthand. Weren’t the people who came seeking treatment all more powerful than he was? They were all individuals who wielded immense wealth or held earth-shattering power!

"But, Lord Chen, it feels like you’re underestimating me a little..." Robin said, somewhat disgruntled. "The other side is only bringing a hundred billion, and you’ve prepared over a hundred billion for me. Don’t you trust my abilities? With my skills, fifty billion is more than enough to make them beg for mercy."

"Stop boasting!" Chen Xiao chided with a laugh. "The Lu family isn’t as weak as you think. On the surface, they have a hundred billion. But as the battle drags on, Lu Rugao will definitely leverage other powers to come after us. So we have to be ready. I’m giving you one hundred billion to win a two-hundred-billion war." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Now that’s more like it." Hearing this, Robin felt much better. "Ever since I started in this business, I’ve never fought a battle where I had the numerical advantage. That’s just boring."

His tone suddenly shifted. "By the way, Lord Chen, any recommendations for good places to visit...? It’s been so long since I’ve been back. I miss the girls here."

Chen Xiao was speechless.

He was well aware of this guy’s philandering ways.

"I never go to those sorts of places, so I wouldn’t know," Chen Xiao said coolly. "I’m warning you, behave yourself for the next few days. Don’t get caught doing something stupid and ruin my plans."

"Yes, yes, of course!" Robin didn’t dare object, nodding hastily in agreement.

The drive back to Yuncheng City took over an hour.

When they returned to the villa, Li Biyun came out to greet them. "Brother Chen Xiao, you’re back?"

"Mn." Chen Xiao was surprised to see Li Biyun was still staying here. "Haven’t you been back to the Li Family at all?"

Li Biyun smiled gently. "I’ve grown used to it here. It’s quite nice."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao didn’t press the matter.

Robin’s eyes went wide the moment he saw Li Biyun. "Lord Chen, this young lady is stunning! I never thought you’d be the type to keep a beauty hidden away in a secret love nest!"

Chen Xiao smacked him on the back of the head. "What nonsense are you spouting? I see her as a little sister."

"I get it, I get it," Robin said with a lecherous grin.

That’s exactly the line he used to feed girls.

After a pause, Chen Xiao added, "Don’t get any ideas about her, or I’ll castrate you myself."

"Lord Chen, I’m not that kind of person!" Robin replied hastily.

Even if he was, he would never dare make a move on Lord Chen’s woman! What kind of ungrateful bastard would do that?

Soon after, Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing arrived one after the other.

Seeing these two breathtaking women, Robin couldn’t tear his eyes away, and his admiration for Chen Xiao soared.

Compared to the women in Chen Xiao’s life, the ones he’d been with were plain and unrefined! One was an icy goddess, the other as passionate as fire. He was truly blessed! However, he didn’t dare stare at Chen Xiao’s women for too long and quickly averted his gaze.

Luo Qingli spoke coolly, "So this is the expert you brought back?"

"That’s right," Chen Xiao nodded. "His moniker is the Wall Street Assassin. He specializes in taking down foreign financial tycoons."

The two women looked at Robin skeptically, finding it hard to believe that this carefree-looking man could be a capable expert.
