"Fellow students, the election for the new Student Union at Longteng University is about to begin. I hope everyone will treat this grand event with seriousness. Now, let us invite Vice Principal Wang and the esteemed university leaders to take their seats..."

He Yuqing whispered to me, "Qiqi didn't ask you to run for the Student Union? With her temper, she should have dragged you into it."

I replied, "She knows I've been extremely busy lately and have no time for other matters. Besides, her arranging for me to take the civil service exam is already enough trouble; adding a Student Union position on top of that would probably send you running in circles trying to keep up with me."

He Yuqing smiled, "Thank you for trusting me so much these past few days. In truth, there are many things I shouldn't know; you truly have too many secrets."

I laughed too, "Since you've made up your mind to be my secretary, how could I possibly keep company matters hidden from you?"

He Yuqing said, "But there are so many things that are top secret; you really shouldn't be telling me."

"If I employ you, I must trust you. Trusting those I employ, and not employing those I doubt—that is my principle."

"Aren't you afraid I'll betray you, the true boss behind Dadi, Huanyu, and Honglong?"

"Are you willing to?"

He Yuqing's face flushed, "I'm not Qiqi, why would I be unwilling to part with you?"

I said seriously, "A boss as good as me is hard to find. If you betray me, who will you be a secretary for then?"

He Yuqing laughed, "You're absolutely right, which is why I never considered betraying you. However, when are you planning to take me to Africa for that site inspection? I'm getting quite anxious."

"In the next few days. Once things settle down in the South China Sea, we'll leave."

As we were talking, someone had already taken the stage to begin their speech. Listening to the powerful and passionate speeches from the senior students on stage, I said to He Yuqing and Ouyang Qian, "These talents need to be utilized. Don't let other companies poach them."

The two women laughed, "We know. But we can't just judge them by how eloquently they speak right now. If you want a speech like that, I can write one for you right now. What we need are talents who truly have substance."

I chuckled awkwardly, "You two know more about this than I do. I won't get involved."

Not long after, Ouyang Qian went backstage to prepare. At that moment, a tall young man was giving a rousing speech on stage. He Yuqing leaned toward me and said, "His name is Deng Qiang, and his background is quite special."

"How so? Qiqi mentioned you usually don't get involved in school affairs. Why are you interested in these figures now?"

"Hehe, I have no choice. I'm working for you now. How can I not do my job well enough to deserve this high monthly salary? Deng Qiang's father is the Commander of the L-State Military Region, holding significant troops. He has always been on good terms with the Commander of the Chengdu Military Region. These two regions serve as mutual pillars, forming the defensive line for the southwest and northwest gateways of the Great Dragon Nation."

The L-State and Chengdu Military Regions were known troublemakers. Liu Hu had mentioned their defense capabilities were lackluster, but their flair for extravagance was unmatched. "I wonder if there's anything substantial in his head," I said to He Yuqing with a smile.

He Yuqing replied, "As far as I know, besides eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, there's nothing else in there."

I was confused, "Then what the hell is he running for? He should just stay home. If someone like him gets elected to the Student Union, wouldn't that be a joke?"

He Yuqing explained, "He's doing this for Ouyang Qian and Qiqi. Qiqi mentioned it to me before—Deng Qiang wanted to run for Vice President, but because the university has requirements for the VP position, and he's only a freshman, he had to drop it. Now he's running for an officer position in the Propaganda Department. Who else is he doing this for besides Ouyang Qian? You think he’ll lose? I wouldn't count on it."

"Then should I run for a position in the Student Union too, just to keep an eye on those two? What if this guy steals them away?"

"Stop joking. The only one capable of stealing other people's girlfriends is you. No one can steal yours."

As evening approached, the entire election process concluded. Li Qi, naturally, remained the Student Union President, and Ouyang Qian continued as the Minister of Propaganda. But that fellow Deng Qiang actually managed to infiltrate the Propaganda Department. Seeing his utterly smug expression on the stage, it was clear he harbored base intentions.

The final item was the formal appearance of all Student Union members on the stage. Amidst cheerful music, the handsome men and beautiful women lined up, applauding to thank the students who supported them. Ouyang Qian, due to her close relationship with Li Qi, stood right beside her.

Xu Chen, He Yuqing, and I stood in the audience, cheering wildly for the two women as they glanced toward us. Suddenly, the figures of the two women shifted. Deng Qiang, seemingly materializing from nowhere, physically squeezed an empty spot right between them. Because there were many Student Union members and the stage was limited in length, everyone was standing close together. Deng Qiang wedging himself in looked exactly like he was embracing both women left and right. Watching this made my teeth grind. If it weren't for the presence of so many classmates, I would have gone up and slapped him across the face twice.

Slap! Slap! My wish was suddenly granted by Li Qi and Ouyang Qian. These two girls were already the focus of the hall, and when they simultaneously struck Deng Qiang, slapping him, it genuinely shocked everyone. Deng Qiang had already made a name for himself at Longteng University recently; everyone knew who his father was, and he was already widely considered the leader among the Four Great Vajras of Longteng University.

The sudden turn of events made the person playing the music forget his job. When the music stopped, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone stared at Deng Qiang, who was clutching both sides of his face. Deng Qiang was hit so hard he was dizzy. He sucked in a sharp breath and snarled viciously, "Two cheap sluts! If others can slap your butts, why can't I? Stop pretending to be proper in front of people! There are even your nude photos online, yet you sit here with your legs clamped shut playing innocent! Damn it!"

Even the Vice Principal present was stunned. He certainly knew Deng Qiang’s background. Although the school was extremely reluctant to have this piece of rat droppings spoil the whole broth, no one wanted to offend high-ranking military officials, lest they seek trouble and retaliate against the school later.

Li Qi was certainly not one to suffer abuse. After Deng Qiang took the opportunity to grope her backside and subjected her to foul language, her anger ignited. She rushed forward, kicking and slapping Deng Qiang repeatedly. The sudden attack made Deng Qiang stumble back several steps and fall to the ground. At this moment, several people jumped up from the audience—some rushed to help Deng Qiang up, while others moved to restrain Li Qi. Li Qi's bodyguards also appeared in time. Li Qi retreated a few steps, creating space, and the bodyguards from both sides entered a tense standoff.

"What's going on? Did that guy bully you two?" I quietly slipped onto the stage during the chaos and asked Ouyang Qian.

Ouyang Qian burst into tears and threw herself into my arms. "That guy just secretly touched both me and Qiqi’s butts. Husband, I'm sorry, I failed to keep my body for you. Please scold me."

I wouldn't blame or despise Li Qi and Ouyang Qian over this small incident; it was similar to what happened with Xu Jing—an unwanted, sudden event. However, Deng Qiang's audacity infuriated me. Others might fear him or tolerate him, but I would not. "Damn it, he must have blinded himself to dare touch my Zhao Qian's women! Stop crying. I'll chop off both his hands to avenge you two!"

Initially, from the audience, I thought Deng Qiang had just taken advantage of the crowding to grope the two women. I truly hadn't expected him to dare to physically touch both of them in front of thousands of students, even resorting to vile curses. At this moment, even if he were the King of Heaven, I would take him down.

Anger made my blood boil and surge throughout my body, powerful energy accumulating, causing my clothes to strain against my frame. I pointed at Deng Qiang and walked toward him step by step. "You brazen bastard! Cut off your own hands now, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I'll take off your feet as well!"

Deng Qiang hid behind several bodyguards. "Who the hell are you! How dare you shout at me! I, Deng Qiang, have already stooped low enough to come to Longteng University. What's the big deal about touching two sluts' butts? Let me tell you, I once publicly violated two female classmates, and they couldn't do anything to me. You're just some pretty boy—what can you do to me!"

I had already approached Deng Qiang's side when one of his bodyguards immediately stepped forward to block me. The two collided with a loud bang. I staggered back two steps, but the man was sent flying directly backward. Boom! He hit a large pillar on the stage and bounced back, spitting out a spray of blood. He lay on the ground, motionless. He was strong, but I was stronger!

From the moment the two women slapped Deng Qiang until the bloody conflict erupted, the students below were merely watching for entertainment. Suddenly, fresh blood sprayed everywhere. It looked like someone had died. The crowd below immediately descended into chaos, thousands of students surging toward the auditorium exit, terrified of being caught in the ensuing disaster.

Deng Qiang's bodyguards saw that the situation was unfavorable. Two of them shielded Deng Qiang, attempting to retreat backstage, while the other two stepped forward to intercept me. Without even looking, I punched out with both fists, knocking back the two intercepting bodyguards, and lunged forward to block Deng Qiang’s escape route.

I pointed at Deng Qiang. "You have the guts to do bad things, so don't be a coward! Leave your hands and feet here before you think about leaving."

A bodyguard threatened me, "You dare! Don't you know Young Master Deng's background? Don't think a little brute strength lets you challenge the world! This world isn't decided by fists anymore!"

Bang! Bang! I threw two punches. The first shattered the jaw of the bodyguard who spoke, and the second sent him tumbling off the stage. The students below had already fled; he landed directly in a pile of chairs and could not get up again.

I turned to Deng Qiang. "Today, I'm going to speak with my fists. Anyone who disagrees can try me. I’ll accompany you to the end."

Deng Qiang looked a bit shaky. "Zhao Qian, don't think I don't know who you are. You're not the only one with beautiful women. I touched two golden flowers, and you touched two. We're even. Don't push me too far, or I'll make this place run red with blood."

"Let me tell you, I touched my own wives! That's none of your business! You dared to harass my two wives today, and I will make sure you die knowing why! Those who touch my Zhao Qian's women do not end well!"

Li Qi and Ouyang Qian grabbed my arms, one on each side. Both looked tearful, their expressions full of anguish, which only intensified my hatred for Deng Qiang. This kid should have inquired first before acting. Just Li Qi's status alone meant he shouldn't have been so presumptuous.

Deng Qiang also understood the situation on stage. He took off running, while his two bodyguards stood in front of me to cover his escape. These two bodyguards were also ex-Special Forces; although their reaction speed wasn't slow, they were nothing in my eyes. With just two punches, I sent them flying, and I tackled Deng Qiang with one foot, pinning him onto the stage.

"I said I would cripple your hands and feet. Do you have anything else to say?"

This was the first time since his birth that Deng Qiang had been held captive. He couldn't figure out why the bodyguards his father had specially selected for him suddenly became so easy to defeat. Otherwise, he wouldn't be this pitiful. The foot pressing on his chest made it difficult for him to breathe.

"You... you dare! My father is the Commander of the L-State Military Region, bearing the heavy responsibility of national defense!"

I said dismissively, "What does that have to do with you? Trash like you will only be a burden on society in the future. You might as well be humanely terminated."

Li Qi had already instructed her bodyguards to seal off the Great Auditorium, forbidding outsiders from entering. This was partly to protect my identity, and partly to facilitate the punishment for Deng Qiang. However, she hadn't anticipated that I intended to kill Deng Qiang.

"Zhao Qian, don't kill him! This will bring you endless trouble."

I paid no heed to Li Qi's plea. I am a person who responds poorly to threats. If someone else merely looks at my girlfriend too much, or says a few harsh words, I might tolerate it—after all, those girls are too beautiful, and even when Zhu Da and I were kids, we sometimes fantasized about pretty girls. But physical contact is seeking death.

"I don't intend to kill him right now, but I will cripple both his arms!" As I spoke, I kicked out at Deng Qiang's left arm. Deng Qiang let out a wretched cry, and his arm twisted a few times, dangling uselessly from his shoulder.

Ouyang Qian and Li Qi, terrified, rushed into my arms. With another kick, I crippled Deng Qiang's other arm. Deng Qiang rolled on the ground in agony, screaming, "F*** your mother! I'll kill your whole family! I'll wipe out your nine generations! I’ll have my dad send an army to flatten your entire Jingshi City!"

I said to Li Qi, "Does he think his dad is the Jade Emperor?"

Li Qi said to me, "Zhao Qian, we know you care for us, but you shouldn't do this."

I stopped Li Qi’s words. "Don't speak. I have this matter under control."

Li Qi obediently zipped her lips. I patted her backside. "Are you alright?"

Li Qi replied, "It's a good thing we were wearing pants, and Qianqian and I reacted fast enough. He didn't get much of an advantage."

"Then why were you two acting like you were about to die just now? I thought you suffered a great grievance."

Li Qi and Ouyang Qian protested, "Isn't it a big deal when your wife is molested?"

"I'm treating it as a big deal. But Qiqi is still trying to stop me. Someone like him should just be killed off, saving the country some grain."

Before Li Qi and Ouyang Qian could answer, sinister laughter echoed through the empty auditorium. "Hahaha, what arrogant words! I want to see who you are to dare harm my Young Master!"

I shielded Li Qi and Ouyang Qing behind me and shouted toward the source of the voice in the air, "I spit on your mother! Young Master? Do you think you're some bandit leader sitting on a mountain? I wouldn't take trash like him even if you gave him to me for free, let alone give him to you!"

Saying this, I kicked Deng Qiang upward, sending him flying toward the edge of the stage. True to form, the person laughing could no longer hide. He appeared and caught Deng Qiang. He looked like an old man, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, resembling an overseas Chinese returnee.

Although I wasn't wearing my multi-function helmet and couldn't measure his energy fluctuations, the first impression given by an opponent of immense power is unmistakable. I whispered to Li Qi, "Text Taotie and tell her to hurry over here for backup. Also, notify Tiger to immediately send a squad of super-soldiers to protect you two. This person's power is immense; he might be the strongest opponent I have ever faced in my life."

Li Qi and Ouyang Qing had never seen me so serious. The two women carried out their instructions separately behind me. The 'Overseas Chinese' caught Deng Qiang and said, "Young Master, I've come to save you. I'll twist these three people's arms to avenge you in a moment."

Deng Qiang said, "Qi Tian, I want you to twist Zhao's arm off! Keep those two women for me. If he won't let me touch their butts, I'll rape them to death to avenge my broken arms."

"Understood!" The 'Overseas Chinese' called Qi Tian replied, "Young Master, please sit here for a moment. I will settle them in a few minutes and then send you back to L-State for treatment. It shouldn't take long."

Although Deng Qiang was in unbearable pain, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll wait for you. Don't disappoint me, or this pain I've endured will have been for nothing."
