Chapter 853: Chapter 863: Wealthy Ma Tian (Five More)

When the time comes, the entire Xuanjing City will know his name—Qin Liehuo.

This is Qin Liehuo’s ultimate goal.

Just then, another Audi rolled up to the entrance. It was the Crown Prince’s Club group.

As soon as Qin Liehuo saw the contents on the paper, his expression instantly darkened.

"You played me!" Qin Liehuo erupted in fury.

Everyone around him froze, stunned by his outburst. None of them had any clue why Qin Liehuo was behaving this way. Had something happened? Each person was left scratching their head in confusion.

Even Ji Ruochen, who had been quietly drinking on the sidelines, lifted his gaze. Earlier, he had agreed with Qin Liehuo to stay out of everything and simply drink, but now, hearing Qin Liehuo’s tone of rage, he couldn’t help looking up. Based on what he knew of Qin Liehuo, this wasn’t someone who’d get angry frivolously. His eyes shifted to Tang Zhong, and his pupils immediately narrowed. Why did this young man feel so familiar? It was as though he’d seen him somewhere before, but he couldn’t quite place it.

Li Chuwen felt the same way. Now that Tang Zhong had sold the Crown Prince’s Club, Qin Liehuo should’ve been pleased—so why was he this enraged?

Su Ao and Wu Jiaxiang, on the other hand, burst out laughing. They knew exactly what had happened.

If someone glanced at the paper, they’d discover it wasn’t a deed at all, but merely a sheet with the words "Crown Prince’s Club" written across it.

Which meant Qin Liehuo just spent fifty million to buy a worthless piece of paper.

Feigning innocence, Tang Zhong said, "When did I ever play you? Haven’t you always wanted the Crown Prince’s Club? I’m giving it to you, aren’t I?"

"You’re asking for death! I wanted the deed, not some paper with ’Crown Prince’s Club’ scribbled on it!" Qin Liehuo ground his teeth in fury.

He was livid—this was the first time someone had played him like this. He was supposed to be the unrivaled prodigy of the Qin Family, the family’s hope. The number of people he had tricked over the years numbered not just in the hundreds, but likely thousands. Yet no one dared play tricks on him—until today. To be bested by the head of a mere clubhouse? How could he endure the humiliation?

The people around him were still bewildered. They couldn’t figure out what had happened, but they could clearly see Qin Liehuo was mad—very mad. And it was surely Tang Zhong’s doing.

Just as Qin Liehuo was about to make a move, Ji Ruochen, who had been among the crowd, shouted, "Liehuo! Remember what you need to do!"

Hearing this, Qin Liehuo paused.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten his primary goal: uniting the small merchants of Xuanjing City, acquiring the Crown Prince’s Club’s land, and avoiding any conflicts with powerful factions.

But he couldn’t stomach the fact that someone had tricked him.

"Didn’t you say you’d come up with a perfect solution?" Ji Ruochen pressed on.

Qin Liehuo could only grit his teeth in silence. There was nothing he could do—the fact was he’d been duped, fair and square, and there was no way around it. "I understand, Ji Lao!"

"Carry on!" Ji Lao instructed before turning his gaze back to Tang Zhong. The longer he stared, the more familiar Tang Zhong seemed—but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t put his finger on it.

The surrounding crowd finally grasped what had happened.

They were dumbfounded—none of them had expected Qin Liehuo to fall victim to a ploy like this. Spending fifty million on a mere piece of paper? Still, they didn’t mock Qin Liehuo. Instead, all eyes turned toward Tang Zhong, convinced his life was over for daring to mess with someone like Qin Liehuo.

Li Chuwen nearly burst into laughter, realizing her earlier concerns had been completely misplaced.

"Tang ge, you’re something else. When we were on the way here, I didn’t believe you could sell that sheet of paper. Didn’t think you’d actually pull it off!" Su Ao looked at Tang Zhong, his eyes brimming with admiration.

"Me neither!" Wu Jiaxiang said, echoing the sentiment.

The piece of paper with "Crown Prince’s Club" written on it had been handwritten by Tang Zhong earlier today. He’d even bet Su Ao and Wu Jiaxiang that he could sell it, but neither of them had believed him. Now, they had no choice but to accept the truth—it had sold, indeed.

Qin Liehuo was furious. He’d been duped in front of a crowd, and he wasn’t about to let it slide. Narrowing his eyes at Tang Zhong, he muttered, "Just you wait. You think you can scam me and get away with not selling the Crown Prince Clubhouse? We’ll see how long you can keep this act up!"

He wasn’t relying on just this one move tonight. He’d invited a powerful figure associated with the Qin Family to this event. Tonight was supposed to be the night Qin Liehuo cemented his place in Xuanjing City. Soon enough, those fools from the Crown Prince’s Club wouldn’t be able to say a word.

Swallowing his rage, Qin Liehuo addressed the crowd with a smile, "Well then, I’ve gathered everyone here today to propose the founding of the Liehuo Business Alliance. It’s a platform for all of us to come together, achieve economic cooperation, and share resources. Furthermore, the Xuanbei Qin Family will serve as your protector in the future!"

Acquiring the Crown Prince Clubhouse was a key part of the plan, but so was this—the creation of the Liehuo Business Alliance.

Most people didn’t think much of Qin Liehuo being duped—they assumed it was because the young master didn’t care enough about the opposition to take them seriously.

Now, hearing about the Liehuo Business Alliance, those already familiar with the plan began clapping in unison, while those unaware of it were intrigued and excited. Joining the alliance sounded like an excellent idea—with resource sharing, earning money would be faster and easier. More importantly, the Qin Family’s backing promised significant advantages. Once the Qin Family had fully established itself in Xuanjing City, the potential benefits would be immense.

"I want to join!"

"Count me in!"

...

"So, today we’ll begin recruiting alliance members. Anyone interested is welcome to join!" Qin Liehuo continued, a faint smile now gracing his face. He had already achieved half of his goal. Now, he intended to see how long the Crown Prince’s Club group could keep pretending.

Of course, not everyone was convinced. Some doubted the Qin Family’s ability to truly dominate Xuanjing City.

"Sure, the Qin Family is powerful, but this is Xuanjing City..."

"Exactly! Here in Xuanjing City, the financial landscape is vast and complex. Does the Qin Family really have what it takes? Even if they succeed in forming the alliance, wouldn’t they need a local business figure to lead it?"

Several voices of dissent rose among the crowd, coming not from small-time merchants but rather from individuals with some degree of prominence.

Not long after these concerns were voiced, a sudden sound came from the back of the hotel.

"The Qin Family absolutely has what it takes to lead this!"

A man with a large belly stepped out from backstage, dressed in a suit and glasses. He looked every bit the savvy entrepreneur.

Everyone else’s eyes lit up the moment they saw him. How could they not recognize this man? He was none other than Ma Tian, the wealthy magnate who had made his fortune three months ago in the internet industry. With Ma Tian’s support, the Qin Family’s effort to establish the business alliance now seemed rock-solid.
