C6 Mission Failed

"Director Gong, we can't keep going like this!" In that moment, Deputy Director Zhou stepped up to Kung Tianhua.

"What's your plan?" Kung Tianhua, who clearly had a lot of faith in Deputy Director Zhou, asked immediately.

"What about Lyu Huan?" Deputy Director Zhou gestured towards her.

Kung Tianhua had an epiphany. Yang Yu was a devoted son, so if there was no breaking through to him, the next move was to target Lyu Huan.

Yang Yu panicked as he watched Kung Tianhua head towards his mother.

Without the System Devastator, how could she handle it like he could?

"System, does pressuring Lyu Huan count as completing the mission?" Yang Yu urgently inquired within his mind.

The Super Rich System responded promptly, "The previous enemy was Yang Yu; others do not count as the mission target."

Kung Tianhua was oblivious to Yang Yu's silent questioning, but he did overhear the Super Rich System's response.

"Only Yang Yu is the mission target?" Kung Tianhua's frustration mounted. He had no time to ponder why the Super Rich System was responding to him.

With only 21 minutes remaining, Kung Tianhua refocused his attention on Yang Yu.

Deputy Director Zhou stayed close to Kung Tianhua, puzzled as to why he had suddenly spared Lyu Huan.

But given Kung Tianhua's odd behavior that day, Deputy Director Zhou kept his thoughts to himself.

Indeed, while Lyu Huan wasn't the mission target, she could be leveraged to threaten Yang Yu. Deputy Director Zhou understood this, but Kung Tianhua, caught up in the situation, was missing the bigger picture.

"I've been here a while, and I'm getting thirsty. Run to KFC and grab me a Coke," Yang Yu drawled, eyeing Kung Tianhua as he approached.

Now that Kung Tianhua had refocused on him, Yang Yu knew he had a myriad of ways to outplay him.

"You still want a Coke? I'll finish you off!" Kung Tianhua fumed.

"No Coke, no loan discussion!" Yang Yu retorted with a sly grin.

"You..." Kung Tianhua seethed with anger.

"And don't forget the chicken wings, burger, and fries. Oh, and grab a few extra packets of ketchup! If you're out, don't even bother speaking to me!" Yang Yu added.

"Move it, get enough for five!" Kung Tianhua barked orders to the others.

"Yu, is now a good time to discuss that loan?" Kung Tianhua asked, his face oozing with ingratiating charm.

"Sure, but two million seems a little on the low side!" Despite his injuries, Yang Yu remained composed, a casual smile playing on his lips.

"Money isn't the issue. What if I throw in another two hundred thousand?" Kung Tianhua proposed.

At his words, the onlookers were dumbfounded. They'd seen shameless before, but never someone so shameless that they begged another to take their money, and refusal wasn't an option.

"Trying to shoo me away like a beggar? Make it an extra billion then. If not, let's just drop it!" Yang Yu declared.

"A billion!" Kung Tianhua's mouth twitched. Despite having access to the Super Rich System, he had already spent a considerable amount. The funds he could readily access were about a billion.

After a brief internal debate, Kung Tianhua quickly conceded. Completing the mission was all that mattered. "A billion is no problem..."

But before he could finish, Yang Yu shifted gears again. "Make it ten billion!"

"You just said..."

"If you give me ten billion, I'll forgive you. Then we can be friends," Yang Yu interjected swiftly.

Kung Tianhua's fury rose at Yang Yu's audacity, but with only 18 minutes remaining, he couldn't afford to dither. "Ten billion is also no problem!"

"Great, bring the cash to me now. I don't have a bank card, and I don't do WeChat or Alipay—only cash transactions!" Yang Yu said with a chuckle.

"I don't have ten billion on me right now!" Kung Tianhua admitted. Even if he did, withdrawing such a sum from the bank wasn't something that could be done in eighteen minutes. "Here's what we'll do: I'll lend you two million first, and you'll get the rest tomorrow morning."

"I'm suddenly famished. Why hasn't my Dicos order arrived yet?" Yang Yu knew he couldn't dwell on financial issues, or Kung Tianhua would easily spot the slip-up.

"Dicos? Didn't you want KFC?" Kung Tianhua inquired.

"No Dicos? Guess I'll just die then!" Yang Yu exclaimed, then closed his eyes again.

"Get rid of the KFC and go get Dicos. What are you waiting for?" Kung Tianhua swiftly commanded his underlings.

"Mr. Kung, there's still something weighing on my heart, an issue unresolved. Without addressing it, even ten billion won't bring me joy," Yang Yu feigned sorrow, his acting far from convincing, even to a toddler.

At this moment, Yang Yu didn't really need to put on a convincing performance.

"Speak up. With my capabilities, no problem is unsolvable!" Kung Tianhua declared, his voice tinged with excitement, sensing the mission's end within reach.

"My mother's health has always been fragile, plagued by minor illnesses. Could you..." Yang Yu said with a sly grin, eyeing Kung Tianhua.

[Ding!] "Kung Tianhua has spent 1,000 system coins to redeem a Body Strengthening Pill in the Super Rich System!"

"The Body Strengthening Pill will fortify the user's health and immunity against all diseases!"

Without delay, Kung Tianhua pressed the Body Strengthening Pill into Lyu Huan's mouth.

"There's another thing troubling me. My sister's been gravely injured and hospitalized. If she can't be discharged, money means nothing to me—it's just paper," Yang Yu pressed on.

"This advanced healing medicine can mend any injury!" Kung Tianhua, now low on system coins, spent another 300 to acquire the high-level healing medicine.

"And my father..."

Before Yang Yu could continue, Kung Tianhua turned to Deputy Director Zhou, "Hand over the embezzlement evidence to the authorities. Clear Yang Lishan's name!"

"There's also the matter of Lai San's usurious loans..." Yang Yu added.

"The contract's right here. Let's tear it up now!" Kung Tianhua quickly produced a contract—it was the same one Lai San had held, confirming that he had orchestrated the entire scheme.

"Also..."

"Why do you have so many hang-ups?" Kung Tianhua was on the verge of tears.

"It's not a hang-up. I just want to know, where's my KFC?" Yang Yu inquired.

"Didn't you say you wanted Dicos instead?"

"KFC, I meant KFC!" Yang Yu exclaimed with urgency.

"Go get KFC, now!" Kung Tianhua yelled out in a panic.

Fortunately, the bodyguard hadn't discarded the KFC, so it was still good to eat upon its return.

Yang Yu grabbed the KFC and dug in, with only three minutes to spare.

"Yang Yu, here's the loan agreement. Sign it!" Kung Tianhua presented the document, knowing that with a signature, the mission would be complete.

In Kung Tianhua's eyes, this was yet another triumph for the Super Rich System. In this world, there's nothing that money can't solve.

And if there is, just throw more money at it.

Two million isn't enough? Then bring out a billion. For Kung Tianhua, it's merely a number, yet it has the power to make Yang Yu indebted and transform an adversary into an ally.

Yang Yu picked up the pen and quickly reviewed the agreement. Kung Tianhua had made many concessions, clearly worried that Yang Yu might refuse.

Only one minute remained!

"Kneel down!" Yang Yu demanded suddenly. "Kneel and beg me!"

"What...?" Kung Tianhua was incensed. "You... you dare to..."

"My patience is wearing thin!" Yang Yu said with a smirk.

"Yang Yu, I'm kneeling before you. I admit my past mistakes; I should never have acted that way. Please, take this billion. I'll liquidate everything I own to gather it! I implore you to forgive me. I'm ready to spend the rest of my life making amends for my wrongs!" Kung Tianhua pleaded desperately as he knelt, with only thirty seconds left on the clock.

The onlookers were utterly stunned. This was unheard of – typically, people knelt before Kung Tianhua, begging him for loans.

Yet here he was, imploring someone to accept his money.

If all the wealthy were like Kung Tianhua, there would be no disparity between rich and poor.

At that moment, Kung Tianhua was seething with rage. Once the mission was complete, he vowed to exact his revenge on Yang Yu and the entire Yang family.

Under Kung Tianhua's seething glare, Yang Yu at last affixed his signature to the agreement.

Kung Tianhua, witnessing this, snatched the document and glanced at the remaining time—only five seconds to go.

"Yang Yu, why didn't you stall for another ten seconds? Since you've signed, I remain a god. I swear I'll tear you to shreds..." Kung Tianhua bellowed, releasing the pent-up fury within him.

But just then, the Super Rich System's alert chimed in, "Ding! Mission time has expired. Mission failed. 6,000 system coins deducted!"

At the sound, Kung Tianhua froze in place.

"Next time, make sure you read what I've written!" Yang Yu gloated.

Frantically, Kung Tianhua scanned the contract and instead of his name, he found a taunting message: "You have the system, but I possess the System Devastator!"

In that moment, realization dawned on Kung Tianhua, his face a mask of utter despair.

"Ding! Host's system coin balance is negative. The Super Rich System is crashing—host termination initiated!"
