Chapter 683: Chapter 682: The Fierce Tiger Confronts the Wolf Pack

The Bentley Zeus made its entrance, instantly capturing everyone’s attention!

After all, this was the Bentley family’s latest concept car, the only one of its kind in the whole world, and not for sale at any price!

"This car is too cool, isn’t it? What model is it?"

"I’m not sure, I’ve never seen it before. Could it be a newly developed one?"

"Possibly, possibly, I think it must be new. Who’s such a badass to be able to drive a beast like this?"

"The world of the wealthy is unimaginable..."

A bunch of people chattered amongst themselves, while Yang Haiyang and Chen Wei exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

The target had finally arrived!

Soon after the Bentley Zeus was parked, Bill Bragg, who had recently become Wang Hao’s lackey, alighted from the driver’s seat. He then hospitably opened the car door, smiling and saying, "Boss, we’re here."

"Mhm," came a faint response from inside the car. Then Yang Haiyang and Chen Wei saw Wang Hao arm in arm with Ice Princess Bai Yaning as they stepped down from the vehicle.

Today, Wang Hao was dressed in a white suit with a pair of white leather shoes, appearing before everyone like a prince from a fairy tale. Bai Yaning wore a light blue off-the-shoulder gown with her hair up in an intricate bun worthy of a proud princess. Her enticing smile hooked at the corners of her mouth, her hands adorned with white gloves, delicately resting on Wang Hao’s arm.

The pair stood together, a vision of a golden boy and jade girl - a match made in heaven!

Walking ahead, they were followed by flunky Bill Bragg and Hong Tianjun’s niece, Jessica. The group of four stood there, blinding everyone present with their 24K gold presence!

"Damn it!" Yang Haiyang’s face twisted briefly, as he said through gritted teeth, "What I hate the most is this guy somehow hooking up with the goddess!"

"Keep it together," Chen Wei whispered a reminder on the side, "Yu Zhinan already told us about their relationship, don’t get worked up. After all, they’re just a couple, and on this cruise, we’ll have plenty of opportunities. Don’t worry about it."

"Yeah, that’s all we can do," Yang Haiyang nodded, then composed himself.

Although the young actor’s skills were mediocre, he still had some to speak of.

Yang Haiyang instantly put on a smile and walked over with finesse, calling out from afar, "Haha, look who’s here! Our king of movies! Director Wang Hao, whose film raked in eight billion in box office!"

Chen Wei followed suit and laughed, "Director Wang, you’ve finally arrived! I’ve long admired your reputation! Hello, Director Wang, Miss Ice Princess."

Knowing no good ever comes without a catch, but since one does not slap a smiling face, Wang Hao played along, saying, "Nice to meet you both."

"All courtesy," Chen Wei, an experienced host, started, "Let me introduce myself. Chen Wei, currently the host of the variety channel at Nanhu TV. This gentleman probably needs no introduction to Director Wang—Mr. Yang Haiyang, an absolute domestic popularity king!"

"I dare not accept such praise," Yang Haiyang modestly said with a slight smile, "Overrated, overrated, I’m just so-so. I can’t compare with Director Wang’s popularity."

"Nice to meet you," Wang Hao quickly shook hands with them, "I appreciate the warm reception on our first meeting."

"All good, all good," Yang Haiyang shook Wang Hao’s hand firmly, then warmly slung an arm around his shoulder, saying, "I really admire your film, Director Wang, well done! I hope in the future if you have any good scripts, you’ll remember a brother. I’d be deeply grateful for a chance to show my face!"

As the saying goes, unsolicited favors often come with ulterior motives, and Wang Hao kept a cordial face with the duo, but internally didn’t take them seriously at all.

What a joke, with their acting skills, even a fool could see the jealousy in their eyes!

"Oh, surely there will be opportunities in the future!" Wang Hao laughed it off and led the group toward the ship.

"Having Director Wang here makes this Sea and Sky Banquet a delightful surprise," Chen Wei said as they walked, "Everyone is inside waiting eagerly; they can’t sleep until they’ve seen Director Wang in person."

As if these people had good intentions—yeah, right!

Not to mention others, but the Hollywood crowd led by Michael and several other directors of flopped movies weren’t fans of his. Who knows what they might be plotting?

But what’s done is done, and since he was already here, he wasn’t afraid of them playing any tricks.

"Oh, stop it, you’re making me blush," Wang Hao, leading the group onto the cruise, said, "Let’s go up and take a look!"

Yang Haiyang and Chen Wei deliberately led the way, with Chen Wei giving Yang Haiyang meaningful looks, "You know what to do later."

Yang Haiyang nodded, "Heh heh, his relationship with Miss Ice Princess is well-known on this cruise. Just for that reason alone, there’ll be no shortage of people looking to cause trouble for him. Take it slow, there’s no rush. The main course is always at the end, haha!"

A group of six people each had their own plans in mind and quickly entered the interior of the cruise ship.

This Victoria Cruise was a medium-sized vessel, with a total weight of 102,563 tons, truly a pinnacle of luxury—a city on the sea. The facilities on board were nearly all-encompassing. There was an ice rink, theater, casino, a 9-hole mini golf course, and not to mention, there were three large swimming pools and several wave simulators capable of creating waves spinning at ten miles per hour. In addition, karaoke rooms, restaurants, bars, and saunas were all readily available.

The ship had nearly five hundred service staff members on board. Even if you came up with the most whimsical idea imaginable, as long as it could be achieved with current technology, it could almost certainly be done here.

Yang Haiyang led Wang Hao and the other four onto the cruise ship, where they were greeted by hospitality hostesses along the way.

Through the corridors, into the elevator, and about ten minutes later, they finally arrived in the cruise ship’s grand hall.

Entering Victoria Cruise’s largest banquet hall, Wang Hao’s first impression was simply this: in this world, having money is truly wonderful!

The whole hall gave off just one sensation—luxury.

By now, Wang Hao was already accustomed to grand scenes, but he couldn’t help but marvel upon entering here; it shouldn’t be called a hall, it clearly should be called a palace.

The area of the entire hall was at least several thousand square meters, with the gilded, Basilica-style domed ceiling inset with eighteen crystal chandeliers, each with six layers, shaped like inverted pyramids, studded with small interconnected lights, shining resplendently in all its glory.

Around the walls of the hall were complex carvings and breathtakingly beautiful decorative friezes, with hanging paintings all carefully chosen masterpieces—even the marble floors left Wang Hao to exclaim the saying, "an inch of land is an inch of gold" truly applied here!

At this time, the hall had already gathered no less than three or four hundred people, men and women, young and old, all forming their own circles and chatting while drinking.

Service staff were constantly walking around in the hall, along with models serving drinks, making the whole place extraordinarily lively.

After all, it was the Sea and Sky Banquet, a level of grandeur far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

"Ahem, may I have everyone’s attention, please!" Yang Haiyang led Wang Hao and his group into the hall and after taking a microphone, coughed lightly. All of a sudden, the noise in the hall diminished, and everyone turned their attention to Yang Haiyang’s direction.

"I believe you’ve all been waiting," Yang Haiyang said with a smile, taking in the entire audience with his gaze, before proclaiming loudly, "Now, I formally announce the arrival of our rising star, Director Wang Hao, and our goddess, Miss Ice Princess, shining brightly on the scene!"

"Wow—!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was abuzz with astonishment!

Everyone’s mouths fell open as they stared at Wang Hao and his group.

In fact, Wang Hao’s identity was already known to these people, and Bai Yaning’s popularity in the Heavenly People’s Republic was second to none! But the key issue was their joint entrance, which suddenly nearly confirmed everyone’s speculation there!

This young man who had just made the blockbuster movie War Wolf, could really be, as rumors suggested, Ice Princess Bai Yaning’s boyfriend!

In that instant, Wang Hao felt as if the temperature in the hall had dropped by three or four degrees!

It was like the feeling of a tiger facing a pack of wolves!

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that, from this moment on, at least half the people in the hall were his enemies!

And the other half might not all be allies!

After all, although he had successfully won the heart of the universally recognized goddess Bai Yaning of the Heavenly People’s Republic, in return, his boyfriend status was like being born with an MT taunt face—no skill was needed to reach max enmity!

"Did he really win over the goddess just with that one movie?! How is that possible?!"

"Who knows, this guy must have used some underhanded tactics! You know the goddess is supremely aloof, normally she won’t even deign to speak more than necessary with others, so what’s so special about this guy?!"

"Isn’t that the truth, wasn’t he completely unknown before War Wolf? By what means did he capture the goddess’s heart? He must have employed some tactics!"

Almost every single man present shared this line of thought, their eyes seething with hatred for Wang Hao as if they wished to tear him to pieces!

The men thought so, and the women’s thoughts were even more straightforward—

"Winning over the goddess isn’t simple, if something could happen between us..."

"This man is worth a try, if I could really snatch him from the hands of the goddess, that would instantly make me a superstar of the new generation!"

"God knows how he managed to chase the Ice Princess—looks like it’s worth giving it a shot..."

People harbored all sorts of thoughts.

And quite clearly, for Yang Haiyang and his group who had everything arranged beforehand, as long as the main characters had arrived, next was naturally the start of their grand revenge plan!
