My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 925: The So-Called Deeply Engraved Affection

Ling Kong took out his phone and glanced at it, "My parents have arrived; let’s go in too!"

"Your parents are here too." Ye Lu’s eyes lit up. She naturally knew of the Ji Clan’s arms conglomerate as if it were thunder piercing through her ears. That man named Ji Mo, an emperor-like figure in power, had dominated the international scene with his name sending shockwaves a few years back, causing countless upheavals abroad and even once obliterating a top-notch illegal criminal science laboratory.

Under his shrewd and astute leadership, this number one arms conglomerate thrived and grew even mightier, with a nearly monopolistic grip on the international stage, something many prestigious families looked up to as an unattainable existence.

As for his and his wife’s passionate love story, it was said to be very romantic and full of legendary colors.

"Yeah, they are very interested in this black market auction as well." Even that old man Ivanov dared to invite them, so his father Ji Mo also showed a bit of interest. After all, the Ivan Family was their Ji Family’s number one competitor. To decline such an invitation would be admitting defeat!

"I’m really curious, what kind of people are the parents who raised a child like you?"

Ling Kong’s handsome, proud face lifted arrogantly: "My mom, well, she’s a woman strong and yet foolish to the extreme. As for my dad, my mom once said a phrase: ’He is the proudest man in the world!’ Anyway, you’ll understand when you see them."

"Then let’s go in!" Ye Lu was quite excited, as this couple from the Ji Clan was legendary in the business circles of Europe and America and were also highly successful figures of Asian descent in the Americas—powerful beings whom none in the political and business elite circles of Europe and America dared to offend.

Her goal was to elevate the Hua Clan to become another Ji Family, no longer to be oppressed.

The banquet was lively, with numerous guests from various countries. There were Europeans and Americans, as well as Asians, and even Africans. Persons of all skin tones and statuses intertwined, spanning both commerce and politics, legitimate and illegitimate businesses. Everywhere was a dazzling display of elegant attire, low laughter and chatters, and the delicate clinking of glasses adding sophistication to the ambience.

Ye Lu was slightly surprised, realizing the tremendous power of the Ivan Family just by the dignitaries present, an undeniably formidable family.

She, holding her two treasures, followed the haughty Ling Kong into the hall, where everything was extravagantly arranged, with fine wines and delicacies abound, and a symphony orchestra playing elegant music to boost the spirit, a display of grandeur.

Yet, Ling Kong headed straight for the staircase, making his way to the second floor.

A white, carved stairway wound upwards, where several formidable figures were conversing on the second floor, attracting the attention of the entire room.

Directly in view was a white-haired man in his fifties, with a chubby face and broad ears, his eyes like a sly old fox—deep and worldly, reflecting a businessman’s acumen. Dressed in an elegant suit, his presence clearly marked that of tonights host, the world’s second-largest arms dealer—Ivanov.

Standing opposite Ivanov and facing away from them was a dazzling couple, a man of noble countenance with his dominating yet gentle hand resting on the slender waist of his beloved wife.

One dark and one light, emitting starkly contrasting auras; the man darkly enchanting, the woman vibrant and charming. Although they were the two most extreme opposites in shade, they were the most harmonious colors in the world, simply because they were an inseparable force of magnificent power.

Ye Lu felt a subtly overwhelming emotion, inexplicably touched by the profound bond between the two people, evident even from their silhouettes—a bond that commanded envy and admiration. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Only as she followed Ling Kong upstairs did she see their true visages.

Only then did she understand what was meant by the proudest man in the world!
