Super War God in the City-Chapter 494: There is a Show
Tang Caiyan stood by, silently watching her cousin Zhou Xuan expertly manipulate several influential young masters with a mere wave of her hand, making them dance to her tune.
"Alas, having not seen her for a year, my cousin's skills have grown even sharper. If I had half her ability, I wouldn't have to constantly worry about Phil!" Tang Caiyan muttered to herself.
Elder Tang and several other elders also nodded inwardly, sighing quietly to themselves. If only An Qi were born a boy, how wonderful that would be!
Tang Hongyi remained silent, filled with both pride and shame. If he had been more capable, he wouldn't have had to let a woman sell her charms like this. Proud because his daughter's skills had become more polished, he felt she wouldn't suffer in the face of men in the future.
Although he had spent a fortune to engage the services of Huangfu Yang and Master Yong Xinghua from Xiangjiang, as his daughter said, it was far from enough!
These people might help you, but they won't necessarily do so wholeheartedly. What if they back out upon discovering that the young man has some backing, or decide to compromise?
Even though he's spent a considerable amount of resources, why should they exert themselves fully for you when they neither have relations nor past dealings with you? Managing to get five or eight out of ten would already be quite an accomplishment.
Therefore, the best strategy to truly win these people over is to drag their prized disciples into the matter.
Yesterday, when the Old Master announced a memorial banquet for Tian Cheng, Tang Anqi was totally in favor. It was a great opportunity that needed to be seized!

Tang Anqi was quite confident in her own charm; she was sure she could handle ninety-nine percent of the affluent heirs in Xiangjiang.
Not even Master Cao was an exception because she knew this fellow was lecherous and had once fancied her.
However, there was one exceptional individual in Xiangjiang over whom she had less than a thirty percent chance—Qin He, the Closed-door Disciple of Yong Xinghua.
Nevertheless, Tang Anqi was not disheartened. As long as she could secure Master Cao, everything else would fall into place. These people were like grasshoppers on a string; pulling one would inevitably drag the others in!
"Hehe, Miss An Qi, if you were to fall for him, I'd be quite heartbroken!" Cao Letian approached Tang Anqi, clutching his chest and wearing a crestfallen expression.
While speaking, he glanced at Master Li and slyly said, "Young Master Li, we are rivals in love now. Honestly, I hope you won't succeed in winning over that young man.
However, loving someone means respecting them. I respect Miss An Qi's fair treatment, and I can't allow her to be seen as dishonest!"
"Hehe, thanks, Young Master Cao, for playing fair and not jumping the line. However, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. An Qi is the woman of my dreams, so I am bound to win her!" Master Li scoffed.
"Tsk tsk, it seems you are not in love with Miss An Qi enough if she's just a dream girl to you. Besides, I hope you'll back off when you meet that young man, giving face to An Qi, not necessarily to you!" Cao Letian sneered.
As Huangfu Yang's Direct Disciple, revered in Xiangjiang as a 'little true person,' his Technique Law had already reached the level of the Martial Saint Realm, making him indifferent to these secular young masters.
"You..." Li Zhe immediately flushed red.
After a moment's thought, knowing he was no match for this person, he huffed angrily, choosing not to say anything else.
As Tang Anqi saw the two begin to quarrel, her vanity was greatly satisfied. However, she needed to intervene and smooth things over.
"Alright, both of you are my friends. What's there to fight about? It's my honor if you're willing to help. I said I would deliver today, but I'm afraid you might not be able to hold up your end. Please, everyone, enjoy the next part of the program!" Tang Anqi glanced at Cao Letian with subtle affection as she spoke.
This made Cao Tianle feel a stir, as she seemingly let the other man misunderstand that she only had feelings for him.
After briefly being shocked, Cao Tianle nodded in understanding. "Hehe, at today's memorial banquet for my younger brother, I wonder what kind of program you've prepared. Nowadays, it's trendy to offer cars, houses, or beauties to the deceased. What about you?"
"Hehe, I guarantee it's something none of you have seen before!" Tang Anqi giggled, then gestured towards the Third Floor of the villa hotel.
The crowd looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Tang Anqi had up her sleeve.
Today's scene was primarily controlled by Tang Anqi, a strategy discussed beforehand with the Old Master within the family.
At that moment, Takako Junta, hidden in the hotel's Third Floor, watched Li Zhe and Cao Letian below, sneering, "Baka, two idiots!"
This guy, along with a group of Ninja followers, was lying in ambush on the Third Floor of the hotel. Initially, he was supposed to confront Ling Fan first.
However, Tang Anqi had made other arrangements. The two idiots below were merely a front, and this guy was held back as a trump card to be played last.
Li Zhe and Cao Letian still had no idea about what was happening. If they knew they were being manipulated by Tang Anqi, they would likely be furious, potentially causing trouble for the Tang Family, given their complicated backgrounds.
Luckily, only Tang Hongyi and his daughter knew Takako Junta's true identity. This time, Tang Hongyi didn't oppose his daughter, boldly taking a risk!
Upon seeing Tang Anqi's gesture, Takako Junta quickly whispered into his headset.
In the courtyard, just as everyone looked on with curiosity and anticipation, the hotel's main door was pushed open, and a ragged, mixed-race beauty was bound with hemp rope, flanked and supported by two individuals in black.
The crowd in the courtyard instantly stared in shock, their faces full of confusion, not knowing what was about to unfold. Observing the state of the woman, it seemed she had endured severe torture!
"This...I don't know what this beauty did to offend the Tang Family, to be beaten so badly while being privately punished, but it looks like her face was left intact!" a young man gasped in shock, mumbling as he watched the woman being escorted over.
"Tie her to that stake!" Tang Anqi pointed to a large wooden stake that had been erected next to a portrait of the late Tiancheng.
Cao Letian grimaced, his gaze lingering on the beleaguered mixed-race beauty with a hint of pity, "Anqi, I don't know what she did to offend you to deserve such harsh treatment. You were really ruthless!"
"Heh, what, is Master Cao feeling sorry for her? It seems my charm is far inferior to this wretch's!" Tang Anqi replied with a faint smile and a teasing tone.
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding. No beauty can compare to even a hundredth of you!" Cao Letian hastily professed.
Within the Tang Family, including Tang Hongyi and Old Master Tang, everyone knew that Tang Anqi had captured two important figures, but had not seen them until today.
Although they were surprised to see the woman battered all over, there was little sympathy. Instead, Phil, like most of the men present, felt a slight regret!
The reason Tang Anqi had not captured anyone else around Ling Fan but had taken the An Xixue sisters was primarily because her brother Tiancheng had died because of these two women.
Capturing the two served to vent her anger, and she mistakenly believed that the sisters had a special relationship with Ling Fan, which is why she prioritized capturing them.
It was her mistake; if she had run off to Binzhou to capture Xiao Chubing and others, she would have been in trouble!
The person brought up was indeed An Xixue. Tang Anqi walked up to An Xixue, who was tied to the stake, immediately pinched her chin, brushed aside her disheveled hair, and allowed her tragically beautiful face to face the onlookers.
"Sss~"
At the moment the crowd saw her face clearly, they sharply inhaled in shock.
"She's so....so damn beautiful, even Rola Takizawa would pale three shades in comparison!" an experienced onlooker suddenly exclaimed with admiration.
After seeing An Xixue's face, nearly all the men present couldn't help but shiver deep inside, stunned by her beauty.
At that moment, An Xixue was barely covered by a few torn pieces of cloth, concealing only the essentials, and her body was covered in scars, arousing the pity of many spectators, which also excited and thrilled them in a dark, hidden way.
However, the crowd grew even more curious: what exactly had this beauty done to have Tang Anqi, or even the Tang family, hate her so much?
At this moment, Tang Anqi looked around and finally spoke, "You must all be curious as to why I would deal so ruthlessly with such a beautiful woman, right?"
"She also has a younger sister, and they were once known in the entertainment circle as the 'Millennial Sister Flowers.' They indeed seem impressive, and it was because of these two that my brother died. Now you understand?"
"An Xiyao and An Xixue?" someone suddenly exclaimed, finally remembering.
These sisters had been very conspicuous in the circle previously, and many rich heirs had paid attention to them. Recently, however, there were rumors of their retirement, which explained why they looked somewhat familiar!
The surrounding young masters immediately started whispering among themselves, discussions buzzing.
"So, young master Tang gave his life because of these sister flowers, alas, truly a knife on the head of color!" someone expressed with clucks of the tongue, sighing deeply.
"With...with guts, just kill me!" An Xixue bit her teeth, her gaze icy as she looked at Tang Anqi, weakly said.
"Cough cough, Anqi, what a unique show this is!" Cao Letian smiled and shook his head in amusement.
"Hehe, the show hasn't even started yet, and it's already unique?"
"From now on, if Ling Fan doesn't show up, every minute that passes, stick a needle into her!" Tang Anqi said coldly.
As soon as her words ended, the black-clad person next to An Xixue plunged a three-inch-long silver needle into her thigh.
"Ah~ My master will definitely come and kill you, you wretch~" An Xixue gritted her teeth and grunted in pain.
Cao Letian's eyes widened drastically, momentarily lost for words.
The whole venue instantly fell silent, staring blankly at the part of the silver needle sticking out of An Xixue's plump thigh, feeling a chill run down their spines!
