he didn't take it seriously, thinking that his cousin was just exaggerating.He brought over a dozen people today, all of them fighting experts. Each one had a weapon in hand, if you don't believe me,...In the first year of the Longqi era, after Ye Bufan returned to Earth, he quelled the rebellion of the intelligent beings. With a hundred wastelands waiting to be rebuilt, China became the center of the world.

The Imperial City, untouched by the direct ravages of war, remained incredibly prosperous. Furthermore, Ye Bufan's powerful return sparked a frenzy of activity among the various influential families connected to him.

At the foot of a hill outside the suburbs lies a massive estate, the property of the Dongfang family.

There is a three-story villa, which looks ordinary at first glance, but it has more than ten heavily armed guards surrounding it, with strict security measures in place.

A young man sat listlessly on the sofa, watching the television in front of him with a vacant expression. He was none other than Dongfang Renjie, the eldest son of the Dongfang family and former sole heir.

He had previously betrayed Ye Bufan and defected to the Sun Moon Holy Fire Sect. After his failure, he was handed over to the Dongfang family for disposal and has been under house arrest here by Dongfang Jianye.

It's been almost three years now, and every day has been like this.

Although food and drink are not a concern, there is no freedom. I am not allowed to step out of the small building, nor is anyone allowed to enter. It's absolute isolation from the world.

"Eastern young master, it seems you're quite enjoying this kind of life."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, as if it had materialized out of thin air.

This was a man in his forties or fifties, handsome in appearance, with a sarcastic smirk playing on his lips.

Originally, the Eastern man's expression was calm, but after seeing this person, he jumped up suddenly and grabbed his collar.

"Damn you, it's all your fault!"

A cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He raised his hand and waved it gently. Dongfang Renjie flew out like a broken kite, crashing heavily into the wall behind him, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"You're a piece of trash and you have the nerve to blame others!"

The oriental man, Dongfang Renjie, struggled several times but couldn't stand up. Finally, he sat against the wall, though powerless to resist, his teeth were still gritted in hatred.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't tempted me, I would still be the young master of the Dongfang family. How could I have ended up like this, becoming a prisoner"

The middle-aged man gave a cold smile: "Young Master Dongfang, you're being ungrateful. If I hadn't helped you erase the mark on your soul, you would have been eternally loyal to that surname Ye boy."

Even if I become the head of the Dongfang family, so what I'm still just a dog to them!

Originally, the Eastern family was cursed with a curse of no sons or grandsons. All the sons and daughters of Dongfang Jianye were gender-confused. Men liked men, and women liked women.

Later, Ye Bufan helped them break the curse. However, at that time his strength was limited. Although the curse was lifted, it couldn't completely erase the mark left on their souls by the curse.

This led to Dong Fang Hui Zhong having a deep love for him, and Dong Fang Ren Jie being loyal to him.

Later, he was suddenly betrayed. It was all because of this man who had suddenly appeared. He didn't know the other party's identity, nor did he know what they wanted to do. All he knew was that he helped him remove the soul imprint.

After his failure, the middle-aged man vanished and never reappeared.

At that time, Ye Bufan had too much to do and was always busy. Later, he directly ascended to the Immortal Realm and didn't have time to deal with this doubt at all.

The Oriental man, Dong Fang Ren Jie, let out a cold snort: "So what It's better than being like I am now, alive but unable to do anything. It's worse than death!"

As the son of a prominent family, he naturally wouldn't settle for mediocrity. Although he seemed calm after being imprisoned for so long, his heart was actually seething with anger.

"A true man would never stoop to being under someone else, wouldn't that be what you, the great Dongfang Shao, said back then"

The middle-aged man chuckled and sat down in the chair opposite him, “Everything comes at a price. Men, inevitably face some setbacks in their lives.”

Besides, I'm here now, aren't I Your hard times are over. As long as you follow my instructions, this world will still belong to the two of us!

The Eastern man, Dongfang Renjie, was stunned. "What do you mean"

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "It's simple, I want you to conspire with me to rule the world."

"Are you kidding me! I can't even get out the door right now, how am I supposed to scheme about taking over the world I'm a piece of trash, I can't do anything!"

An Eastern man, Dong Fangren, let out a furious roar. Thankfully, he was the only one in the room and the soundproofing was good, so no one outside seemed to notice anything amiss.

The middle-aged man didn't rush or get flustered, he smiled and shook his head: "That was before. Now that I'm here, I can make Dongfang Jianye directly pass the position of head to you. From now on, the Dongfang family will be under your control."

"Don't worry, if I couldn't do it, I wouldn't come and waste your time talking." The middle-aged man said, "With my abilities, making Dongfang Construction lose consciousness for a short period of time and act completely according to my will is no difficulty at all."

Even though Dongfang Renjie wasn't completely useless, he still had some intelligence. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"If you're capable of doing that, why didn't you just control my father instead of coming to me"

"That's different!" The middle-aged man shook his head. "I said it only works for a short time, and not from too far away."

I want partners who share my ambition and vision, not puppets to be controlled.

As long as Oriental Construction publicly transfers power, you will be the only heir to the Oriental family. At that time, it will be easy to control the family's power.

"Even if you could, even if I regain control of the Dongfang family, so what"

Don't you know that man has returned With him in the empire, there would be no chaos, and the world would be peaceful. There would be no place for me to stand.

"Go on, I don't want to lose my head because of you. Even though we are barely surviving now, it's better than being dead."

Ye Bufan is usually low-key, but after returning to China, he has done so much and caused such a stir. It's inevitable that some information has been leaked.

As an Eastern man, he watches TV and uses his phone every day, so he has a certain understanding of what's happening in the world. He knows that he has returned to Earth and is even more powerful than before.

A flash of killing intent crossed the middle-aged man's eyes: "He's really back. All we have to do is kill him, and then the world will be ours!"

"Kill him Are you crazy"

"The East Asian man sneered at him, "Do you know how powerful he is Do you have the ability to kill him"

"Go die yourself, don't drag me down with you."

"That kid is indeed powerful, but I have my own way!"

The middle-aged man, as if wanting to convince Dongfang Renjie, hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you heard of the Ten Great Poisons"

"A little knowledge goes a long way; back then, Wang Xue'ning was struck by the Sleeping Beauty, one of the Top Ten Strange Poisons."

Dongfang Renjie didn't know much about medicine or poisons. He only knew about the names of the Ten Most Bizarre Poisons because of Wang Xueneng's incident, which is to say, he only knew about one called "Sleeping Beauty." He was unfamiliar with the other nine.

Then he sarcastically looked at the other person: "You wouldn't want to use poison against Ye Bufan, would you If so, I advise you to go see a doctor."

To use poison against a fairy doctor, he's still immune to all poisons. There's no other result but death if you do that!

(Side stories are random and have no timeline, so please don't mind the order.)o that. The consequences will be very serious. You'll be sentenced to life imprisonment and you'll never be able to get out."Ye Bufan smiled: "I didn't mean that. Are there any other consequences"Lan...
