Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Chen’s First Corporate Takeover – Playing with Sharks

The next morning, Chen arrived at the tallest skyscraper in the city—the headquarters of Wei Group, one of the most powerful conglomerates in the country.

Wei Jian had tried to kill him. That was enough.

Dressed in a black designer suit and escorted by Lin Shuying and three elite bodyguards, Chen stepped into the lobby. His presence alone silenced the floor.

The receptionist stammered, "D-Do you have an appointment?"

Chen raised his phone. "I just bought the entire floor your CEO works on."

> Ding! You spent ¥400 million to purchase the 88th floor of Wei Group Tower.

Cashback x100 activated: ¥40 billion has been deposited.

New Balance: ¥53,239,687,000

Achievement: Corporate Hunter I – Reward: Negotiation Dominance Passive Skill

Lin Shuying blinked. "You didn't just buy his office… you're buying his pride."

Chen smirked. "No. I'm about to bury it."

On the 88th floor, Wei Jian burst through the door. "You! You think this little stunt makes you king?"

Chen casually took a sip of imported blue tea—¥1,800 per cup. Bought in bulk for ¥180,000. Cashback: ¥18 million.

He stood slowly. "You tried to assassinate me. This is me… sending you a gift back."

He tossed a thick file onto Wei Jian's desk. Inside were contracts, shares, and legal documents—hostile acquisition papers. Thirty percent of Wei Group's shareholders had sold to Chen last night under the radar.

Wei Jian's face paled.

"This… this can't be legal—"

> Ding! You used ¥1.2 billion to acquire 30% of Wei Group. Cashback received: ¥120 billion.

New Balance: ¥173,239,687,000

"Legal?" Chen chuckled coldly. "I'm not here to follow rules. I'm here to rewrite them."

Just then, security rushed in—Wei Jian's last gamble.

But before they could act, Chen activated his system.

> Ding! Spend ¥10,000 for Bodyguard Enhancement Boost (x10 strength, x10 speed)?

"Yes."

> Ding! Cashback: ¥1,000,000. Applied instantly.

His guards became blurs of motion, disarming the attackers before anyone could blink.

Wei Jian collapsed into his chair, defeated.

Chen leaned forward. "From now on… I sit at the top of your food chain. You'll obey—or be erased."

As Chen left the building, the world media had already picked up the story:

"Mysterious Billionaire Destroys Wei Group in Single Day Takeover."

> Ding! System Evolution Triggered – Unlocking New System Path: Life Increase Activated

Current Lifespan: 27 → 207 years

He looked up at the sky.

"That's one down. Many more to go."
