Volume 1 Chapter 24: The Supreme Diamond Card, an Existence Like an Emperor!!
Su Yingying burst into tears, unable to hold back any longer. She felt deeply wronged. With her brother here, she finally didn't have to be bullied by others anymore. "It was her—she insisted on driving me away."
Su Yingying pointed at Wu Linlin, speaking with indignation. In an instant, Su Ming turned around, his icy gaze locking onto Wu Linlin.
"A platinum card, that’s supposed to be impressive?"
"And that gives you the right to do whatever you want?"
Su Ming frowned, a stern aura radiating from his eyes that made Wu Linlin instinctively tremble. It was as if she were staring into the eyes of a demon in the dark, a primal sense of horror welling up within her.
"That’s right. As a platinum member, I can indeed do whatever I want here."
"So you’re her brother, right? Perfect. You can get lost with her too!"
Seeing Wu Linlin regain her composure, Junxi finally found his moment to shine. With an arrogant posture, he gestured toward Su Ming.
"Whirr, whirr, whirr!"
Just then, a gust of wind swept across the rooftop, drawing everyone’s attention!
"Look! A helicopter!"
"My god, a helicopter is actually landing up here!"
"Is it a private jet?"
"Who is it here to pick up?"
"Damn, that’s no ordinary helicopter. That’s a Black Shadow—an armed combat chopper! Is someone from the authorities here?"
The crowd gasped in shock! A Black Shadow armed helicopter hovered in the night sky, level with the rooftop restaurant. Its massive rotors spun at high speed, creating a blur of shadows, looking like a giant falcon soaring in the air. Many girls had already pulled out their phones to start taking selfies.
At that moment, the Godfather jumped down from the craft. He walked straight up to Su Ming and bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty the King, it is time to depart!"
The Godfather’s words left everyone frozen in place! A King!? Even Su Yingying looked on, completely bewildered.
"Wait for me to finish dinner with my sister, then we leave!"
"You may wait." Su Ming said dismissively. Then, he turned to look at Wu Linlin. "Throw her into the swimming pool. If my sister and I haven’t finished our dinner, she is not allowed to come back up!"
As soon as Su Ming finished speaking, the Godfather nodded solemnly. "As you command, Your Majesty!"
With a mere wave of his hand, two burly men jumped down from the armed helicopter and charged forward aggressively, hauling Wu Linlin up from the ground.
"Let go of me! Release me! My boyfriend is a platinum member here—do you have any idea—" Wu Linlin’s face turned pale with terror, and she struggled wildly, but her strength was pathetic. Before she could finish her sentence, she was tossed directly into the swimming pool. Every time she tried to surface, a heavy boot pressed her back down.
"Who are you people? How dare you lay a hand on my girlfriend!"
"I’m a platinum member! Someone, get them out of here!"
Seeing Wu Linlin thrown into the water, Junxi could no longer stand by. He steeled his nerves, brandishing his platinum card and shouting.
At that moment, a dozen security guards approached. "Sir, please leave, or we will be forced to call the police."
Seeing that the intruders had arrived in a helicopter, the head of security dared not be too reckless, but he still had to cater to the feelings of his platinum client.
"A mere platinum card, and you dare to strut about in my presence?"
"Look closely. Open your eyes and see—this is a Supreme Diamond Card!!!"
The Godfather disdainfully produced a shimmering, iridescent magnetic card and waved it.
Instantly, the head of security’s eyes widened. He took the card, verified it, and immediately bowed deeply. "I am so sorry, distinguished Supreme Member! We were blind and have offended you!"
"We will clear the area immediately, and all your expenses for today will be waived."
Cold sweat poured down the security captain's face. The Carlton Global Hotel chain had only issued three such Supreme Cards! It was true—they were limited to only three worldwide. This proved just how priceless the card was! Even if the CEO of the Carlton Hotel in Ningzhou were here, he would have to bow and scrape before the holder.
"A Supreme Member is dining—why haven't you cleared the area yet?"
"Especially this brat. Confiscate his card. I don't want to be a registered member at the same hotel as such trash!"
Following the Godfather’s command, Junxi collapsed to the ground. This card belonged to his father, and he had stolen it today to impress a girl. If it were confiscated, his father would surely break his legs.
"It’s a misunderstanding! It was all a misunderstanding..." Junxi hurriedly offered a fawning, apologetic smile. He wasn't stupid; anyone who could possess a Supreme Card must have a formidable background. A single word from them could bankrupt his entire family!
However, the Godfather ignored him entirely, ordering his men to seize Junxi’s card, blacklist him permanently, and forcibly eject him from the restaurant.
By now, Wu Linlin was completely stunned. Soaking in the cold water, she shivered as the wind bit at her skin, her pleas for mercy falling on deaf ears.
A moment later, Su Ming took a tissue and wiped the corner of Yingying’s mouth. "Rest well at the hotel. I’ll come back to see you as soon as I’m done!"
Su Ming said with a soft smile.
"Mm, I understand, brother. Go ahead, and please stay safe!"
Su Yingying felt as if she were in a dream! No, this was a scenario she wouldn't even dare to dream of, yet it was happening to her. It seemed that the person her brother knew was a major figure! How amazing! She was genuinely happy for her brother.
"Send my sister back and have two new evening gowns prepared for her."
"Whatever the cost, I will settle the bill when I return." Su Ming said to the head of security.
"Distinguished Supreme Member, our hotel has just received a new collection of evening gowns; the young lady may choose any she likes!"
"They are all free of charge—how could we possibly accept your payment?"
With that, the head of security waved his hand, and the staff surrounded Su Yingying like stars orbiting the moon, guiding her toward the elevator. Su Yingying felt as though she might suffocate from happiness; it felt like a scene from a fantasy.
Watching his sister enter the elevator, Su Ming turned and joined the Godfather on the helicopter. Under the awe-struck gaze of the crowd, the helicopter took flight, slicing through the firmament like a sword!
"That was incredible!"
"That guy is actually a King? And so young!"
"Which country is he a King of? He arrived in Longzhou, yet there’s no news report!"
"Is it possible his name is actually 'King'?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Doesn't that display of power define a King?"
The crowd on the rooftop was in an uproar, buzzing with speculation about Su Ming’s identity. The ambitious ones quietly headed for the elevators, hoping to strike up a conversation with Su Yingying and get closer to the source.
...
Meanwhile, in the heart of Longzhou City, the Golden Palace stood as a massive, circular structure surrounded by tens of thousands of lights. The golden glow it emitted made it look like a palace of solid gold! A golden dragon coiled around it, creating a spectacular sight. This was the landmark of Longzhou.
Most events held here were organized by officials, local entrepreneurs, or heads of major conglomerates. The top hundred enterprises!
The Golden Palace featured a staircase of over a hundred steps, leading down to the plaza. A gold carpet was laid out, exuding extreme luxury. At the base of the stairs, rows of luxury cars attracted countless influencers and beauties taking photos.
The first row was filled exclusively with limited-edition Gold-series Rolls-Royces, radiating a fierce dominance—each one worth tens of millions. The second row featured Bugatti Veyrons and Ferraris, which had become the standard. As for the Mercedes, BMWs, and Audis, regardless of the model, they were all relegated to the third row.
Su Ming, traveling by helicopter, bypassed the Golden Palace and headed toward the area behind it, unwilling to be too flashy.
