Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 1036 - 1037: The Second Princess

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1037: The Second Princess

On Tuesday, Song Xiaodong and Dragon Nine left Minghe together and flew to the city of Pingqing, thousands of miles away.

The Dragon Gate people had tracked down the second Princess, which was incredibly important to Song Xiaodong, so he immediately rushed over.

After getting off the plane, someone quickly ushered Song Xiaodong into a car, a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

A middle-aged man of similar age to Dragon Nine was in the car. As soon as he got in, he respectfully said to Song Xiaodong, “Greetings, Young Master. I am Dragon Six. It’s inconvenient to perform salutations in the car, please forgive me.”

“No need to be so formal!” Song Xiaodong smiled slightly without putting on airs and said, “It seems like you’re doing quite well.”

Dragon Six immediately said, “Please don’t laugh, Young Master. These years, I’ve been living incognito, hoping for the day to revive the Dragon Gate. Everything I have now belongs to the Dragon Gate. Just a word from you, Young Master, and Dragon Six will offer everything unconditionally to the Dragon Gate.”

Song Xiaodong waved his hand and said, “I don’t want to become a robber, your loyalty to Dragon Gate is enough. Continue living your life as you are now.”

Dragon Six respectfully said again, “Thank you, Young Master!”

Song Xiaodong got straight to the point, “Dragon Six, what is the matter with this Princess you mentioned?”

Dragon Six immediately explained, “These years, I have kept an eye on the situation of the Dragon Gate. When Dragon Nine informed me that they found you, I knew we were still missing four Princesses. So, I was always watching out for the Dragon Badge. Just a few days ago, my company recruited a new employee, and I happened to notice the Dragon Badge on her neck. I dared not handle it on my own, so I invited you over to make the decision yourself.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Alright, let’s not alarm her for now. Let’s check out the situation first.”

Dragon Six said again, “Young Master, I go by the name Lin Yuan here. You may call me by this name to avoid exposing Dragon Gate matters.”

“Okay, I’ll call you CEO Lin then, it suits better. Calling you by name would be awkward and suspicious.”

“Alright!” Dragon Six didn’t get caught up in it; Dragon Gate now had to operate in secret, and some formalities indeed needed to be avoided.

The three went directly to Dragon Six’s company. Seeing the entire sixteen-floor office building, Song Xiaodong expressed his surprise, “Your business is quite significant.”

“The assets are around a billion.” Dragon Six did not hide it.

“Not bad, you seem like a business genius.”

Dragon Nine chimed in, “Our Dragon Gate needs to do business as well. Dragon Six indeed has some talent in this area, he used to manage many Dragon Gate’s properties.”

Song Xiaodong nodded, “Indeed, our Dragon Gate is full of talents.”

Once they were inside the company, Dragon Six directly led Song Xiaodong and Dragon Nine to the chairman’s office and instructed the secretary, “Get Zhao Hua in here.”

After the secretary left, Dragon Six said, “Zhao Hua is the Princess.” But looking at Song Xiaodong, there was a hint of peculiarity in his eyes.

“Is there a problem?” Song Xiaodong asked Dragon Six.

Dragon Six hesitated a bit and said, “Well… Young Master, you know that the Princess will eventually become your wife, right?”

Song Xiaodong nodded, “Yes, Dragon Nine told me about that.”

“Well… but this Princess Zhao Hua is a bit…” Dragon Six twitched his mouth, his expression increasingly odd.

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, “Don’t tell me she is very ugly?”

“Not ugly per se, but her appearance is quite lacking, and her conduct and behavior are also… Alas, as a subordinate, I shouldn’t judge the Princess, you decide for yourself, Young Master.”

Soon, the secretary brought in a woman, and upon seeing her, Song Xiaodong’s face turned even darker. The woman, indeed in her twenties, was about the same age as Feng Kexin.

But her appearance, while not utterly hideous, was on the verge of it; her face was too large, eyes and nose too small, completely incongruous with her face, though the mouth matched the face, yet clashing with the eyes and nose.

That wasn’t all; she wore thick makeup, but her makeup skills weren’t up to par, which made her already plain appearance even more unbearable.

Moreover, her figure was stark; at 1.6 meters tall, 90 pounds should be normal, but she was not 90 pounds, easily weighing over 150 pounds.

Dragon Nine’s expression became brilliant, while Dragon Six seemed mentally prepared, seeing Song Xiaodong’s look, he suddenly felt like laughing yet also felt sympathy.

Song Xiaodong suddenly recalled what Feng Kexin told him that day, he’d generously said he wouldn’t mind looks, but now he realized he really, damned sure did, having such a woman for a wife was unbearable.

“Director Lin, did you call me?” the woman asked with a coquettish voice, which, paired with her looks, suddenly nauseated Song Xiaodong.

Dragon Six gave a slight cough, “Yes, have a seat.” Then he glanced at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong nodded stiffly, regardless of how this woman was, even if he couldn’t marry her in the future, he had to understand the matter of the Dragon Badge, if she truly was a Princess, she’d need special care.

Once Zhao Hua sat down, Dragon Six said, “I noticed the unique tag at your collar, could I have a look?”

Zhao Hua glanced down, then took it off and rolled her eyes, “This is a family heirloom, it’s quite old, a treasure.”

Song Xiaodong and Dragon Nine both leaned over to examine it and, having seen two Dragon Badges before, quickly confirmed that this indeed was a genuine Dragon Badge.

Song Xiaodong just felt his stomach churning again.

“Is this Dragon Badge really yours?” Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but ask again.

Zhao Hua immediately, assuredly stated, “It’s absolutely mine, Director Lin, you’re the CEO of our company; if you like it, I wouldn’t mind giving it to you, but it’s a family heirloom, when my grandfather passed, he told me to protect it well, I really can’t pass it on hastily.”

Not easily, evidently leaving leeway, Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched, “Alright, tell me, how much are you planning to sell it for, I’ll buy it.”

Zhao Hua rolled her eyes and held up two fingers, “Two… two…”

“Great! Two million, I’ll buy it!” Song Xiaodong answered decisively.

Zhao Hua was instantly dumbfounded, she only intended to say two hundred thousand, but due to nervousness, hadn’t yet said “ten” when he spoke.
