Chapter 200: Evil Right Hand Man, Luke Fu!

Chapter 200: Evil Right Hand Man, Luke Fu!

The morning sun filtered through the high windows of the dining hall as I joined the family for breakfast. The room buzzed with the chaotic, vibrant energy of a household bursting at the seams. My legal wives and their children occupied one side of the massive table.

Mary Lee sat tall, tending to young Sally Tang.

Nichole Tang sat right beside Nadia Tang, the two of us sharing a knowing glance over the rim of my coffee cup as they managed their respective broods—Tonya and Tiffany Tang on one side, Bella and Brenda Tang on the other.

Hana Lee kept a firm eye on Rick Tang Jr. to make sure he finished his fruit.

Kim Smith sat at the end of that row, keeping John and Megan Smith from throwing food.

Kate Tang sat among them, elegant as always, though she still had not had a child due to her demanding acting schedules.

Because of the sheer size of our family, my personal maids—who double as my concubines and non-legal wives—sat with their children at the opposite end of the long table.

The advent of the children finally pushed me to change the old rules, making my lovers sit with us for every meal so none of the little ones would ever feel left out. I refused to discriminate based on who gave birth to them; I cared only about behavior. My little devils knew exactly how much I frowned on bad manners and bullying.

Mei Xia, recently pregnant and glowing, smiled softly as she rubbed her stomach.

Mercy kept a steady hand on young Lee Mu's shoulder.

Jenifer Han sat poised, smoothly cutting up pancakes for Holly Han.

Right next to them sat Grandmaster Hinata Kyusho and our son, Ryu Kyusho. She still insisted to outsiders that she was merely my lifelong servant, but the truth remained that she was my lover and student.

I cleared my throat, taking a sip of water to hide my sudden embarrassment. Yeah, that made eleven lovers and eleven children under one roof. Looking at the crowded room, it was easy to see why my other lovers and kids moving into their own homes had become completely inevitable. I blamed my Dragon Blood for the sheer scale of this domestic mess.

Then again, who the fuck was I kidding? My life was really fucking amazing. I let out a soft sigh, watching the laughter echo across the table.

Zoe had officially retired to move away with Uncle Anthony when he stepped down from his position, but we now had a total of twenty Tang maids working full-time in my home. Security inside the walls was completely ironclad since two of those maids were actual combat Masters.

Outside, my Fire Birds operated an undercover safe house directly in front of our gated community—the exact property Victoria's security team used to occupy. Even the security guards stationed at the main gate were my own men.

James, Jenny, Ashley, and Akeno, along with their children, had recently relocated to Lot 9. They officially gifted Lot 7 back to Kate and paid the financial difference to secure Linda's old mansion, giving their growing family a much larger estate. Even James was rapidly outgrowing the first home Hana had built for us. We decided to keep Lot 7 strictly as a private guest house for visiting friends and family.

Mealtime, as anyone could expect, remained the most stressful part of my entire day. Eleven children constantly clamored at the same time, desperately trying to lock down their dad's attention. Thankfully, my lovers coordinated beautifully to keep the chaos under control.

Counting the ladies and children sitting before me, the numbers for those living outside this specific house were seven lovers and eight children. When I combined the two groups, the total hit eighteen lovers and nineteen born children. Phew.

Any sane man could understand why I had spent months trying to ignore Gretta's advances, praying it was just a passing phase. But my heart simply refused to put a limit on the women I loved and wanted by my side.

On the bright side, many of my wives and lovers had slowly come around to the idea of sharing me in bed, creating distinct groups that rotated regularly. Nichole and Nadia paired up almost constantly. Mei and Jenifer formed another frequent pair.

Hinata and Mercy shared the rotation as well, and I had to admit those specific nights were my absolute favorite, though I kept that thought to myself.

Hana, Mary, and Kim naturally shared a bed without any surprise.

The only one who remained hesitant to join the others was Kate, but I really didn't mind. She provided a sense of normalcy in the middle of my chaotic harem.

We had mostly thrown out the rigid nighttime schedule months ago. It made no sense to force things when a mother wasn't in the mood for sex after a grueling day at work or after chasing down a troublemaker child. For the most part, the women simply made reservations whenever they wanted me.

Right after breakfast, I was scheduled to head over to Tina's place with Jenifer. Ana had already messaged me to say she was showing up there too. And yes, Tina was absolutely a bed-sharing wife.

Linda and Kate stood as the only two who refused to share the bed with another woman.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the biggest surprise came from the two women who actually shared my bed at the exact same time—Helen and Victoria. The two shared a deep, unspoken understanding of my nature and exactly why my harem had grown the way it did. Plus, they were highly capable, incredibly similar women. If the high nobles ever discovered I took the heads of both the Long family and the Tang family at the same time, the leaders of Eurasia would probably build a massive monument in my honor.

"Daddy, tuck me in bed at night-night?" I shifted Holly in my arms, holding Jenifer's daughter close as her striking blue eyes perfected the ultimate puppy-dog look. She possessed an incredible talent for looking entirely pitiful. I already suspected her inherent Li family trait was going to be Acting.

I leaned down to kiss her chubby cheek, smiling at her expression. "I will, but only if your nannies tell me you listened and ate all your healthy food. Can you do that for daddy?"

"Pinky Promise, daddy?" My daughter flashed a massive smile the moment our pinkies linked in the air. I carefully handed her over to her nanny, turning my attention to my secretary. Jenifer leaned down to kiss her daughter's forehead, murmuring a few sweet words before standing up straight.

Dressed in a sharp, matching black suit with polished gold accessories, Jenifer reached out and adjusted the knot of my tie with practiced precision. "My Master, give me the keys. I am driving."

Jenifer spoke with a far more domineering edge than she possessed three years ago, thrusting her hand out to demand the keys rather than asking for them. I actually loved this fierce side of her.

I had made the casual mistake of pointing out a maid character I loved in an anime series, and Jenifer had meticulously studied every single mannerism, integrating the style directly into her own daily routine. Now, she embodied the exact devil maid aesthetic I always admired. Except for the sharp pinches she gave me whenever I stepped out of line—that part absolutely sucked.

The two of us boarded the heavy SUV and tore out of the driveway, heading straight for downtown.

Jenifer smoothly steered the vehicle into the Phoenix Tower parking lot, pulling into our reserved space before turning to discuss the afternoon schedule.

Jenifer said professionally, "Leader, I will go up to your office and work while you walk to the Jefferson building to visit Tina. I will leave the blinds open if you want to see my back, fufu. Don't forget, Mei and I get you tonight my love, I meant Leader."

Observing that only our trusted security personnel occupied the immediate area, I pulled the brown-haired beauty straight into my arms to kiss her properly. Whenever I operated in my official Leader role, it always seemed to become the exact time we loved one another the most.

She bit my lower lip with a playful nip before pushing against my chest to create space. "Leader, you are setting a bad example to your subordinates. Now go before you are late and get me in trouble with Lady Feng. Bye~!"

The sharp click of her high heels echoed through the concrete structure as she turned toward the elevators, making absolutely sure I noticed the provocative sway of her hips. Jenifer glanced back over her shoulder just as she pressed the call button, thoroughly satisfied to see my eyes locked onto her. The silver doors slid shut, cutting off her smirk and leaving me free to depart.

The elevator chime sounded as I exited onto the thirtieth floor of the penthouse suites, stepping into the secured hallway toward Tina's residence. I carried a large bag filled with extra plush toys, a trick I learned the hard way to ensure no other children in the area felt left out if unexpected guests arrived.

As I rounded the corner past the two undercover female Fire Birds guarding the corridor, I spotted a figure at the far end of the hall. A bald man in a tailored black suit stood smoking a cigarette, casually sitting on top of an intruder. A smartphone had been shoved violently into the captive's mouth to serve as a makeshift gag.

I smiled, approaching the bald man who wore his dark sunglasses indoors despite the hallway lighting. "Luke Fu, I see you are smoking? Covert operations usually mean you only light up when you are angry. Is your new bench the reason for your nicotine fix?"

Luke inhaled deeply, blowing a thick cloud of grey smoke directly down into the captive's face. He then pressed the glowing ember of the cigarette straight into the back of the man's neck. The muffled figure squirmed violently, twisting against the floor as low groans of pain escaped around the phone. Judging by the ten half-smoked butts scattered on the hall floor, Luke had been repeating this exact process for at least half an hour.

Luke delivered a sharp smack to the side of the man's head to halt the struggling, then looked up at me. "As Miss Zi was visiting Miss Feng's residence, this bastard reporter rushed past the outer security line to film them, attempting to grab Miss Zi in the process. The two corridor guards pounced on him before he could touch Miss Zi or her daughter, thankfully. But the little girl was crying from being frightened by the commotion. I have been actively trying not to kill him while waiting for your arrival, Leader."

The reporter pinned against the floor recognized my face instantly, his skin turning completely pale as his eyes widened in terror.

I offered a cold smile, looking down at him. "That is good. You know exactly who I am. That means you already understand that Miss Ana Zi and I are exceptionally close friends. Hmm?"

I reached into my suit jacket and pulled out my custom smartphone—a highly advanced piece of hardware I had Floppy Tech spend millions of dollars developing for my exclusive use. Holding the device within inches of the reporter's phone, I activated my custom Data Thief software.

The screen flashed as the program instantly cloned every byte of encrypted data stored on his device, transmitting the file bundle directly to Valentine so her team could break down his network. Sifting through the live transfer on my screen, I quickly unmasked his identity, his agency, and the exact plans he had mapped out for the footage.

"So, you are the stalker that leaked Ana's original casting couch rumors before the first movie," I said, my voice dropping to a dangerously calm whisper.

I stared down at the trembling man, watching the realization hit him like a physical blow. "Ana did not know who you were, so finding you was difficult for me. But here you are, Mr. Fredrick Ming. I will not listen to whatever excuse you have, even if it was to deliver life-saving medicine. You made my Luna cry."

Luke leaned his massive bulk forward, his voice a gravelly rumble. "Boss, do you want cement shoes?"

I watched the man sweating profusely with the smartphone still wedged in his mouth like a duck's bill. I shook my head, offering a cold smile to my executioner.

"You are now the Azure State manager, not the West Docks Boss," I corrected him gently. "As my right hand man, we need to handle crimes a bit more classy. The Africa army is a few bodies short, so he is volunteering."

I watched Fredrick's eyes widen in sheer horror. "Just make sure he can work for the Central Government well when you turn him over," I added, my tone turning sharp. "But I want him to feel the sins he has committed in my home before he gets there."

Tears and snot streamed down the reporter's nose and eyes. He struggled against Luke's weight, his throat producing frantic, muffled noises as he tried to explain himself. I didn't care to listen.

Luke delivered a precise punch to the back of the man's head. The impact dazed Fredrick instantly, knocking him out cold.

Luke stood up, rolling his shoulders. "It is a warm day, so I will just throw him in my subordinate's trunk for the day. He should probably still be fine later. Maybe."

"Sounds good," I chuckled, clapping him on the shoulder. "Now that is how you deal with it. Delegate it to your men, ha-ha. I need to go visit the ladies now."

Luke scratched the back of his bald head, a stupid, sheepish smile replacing his terrifying demeanor. "Mrs. Feng and Cat told me not to smoke in the hall," he muttered, shifting his feet. "Um, can you say it was this guy? Cat is inside with them right now with my daughter playing. I will be back later after this is dealt with and I take a shower, he-he."

"Sure," I laughed, shaking my head at the contrast. "Oh, and do not forget, we have to travel to South City next week to inspect the businesses and the soldiers Central wants. You can throw this guy in with those clowns when we go."

With the matter settled, I turned toward the heavy double doors and entered my Feng home.

Walking into the penthouse, the oppressive atmosphere of the hallway instantly vanished. I found Ana, Cat, and Tina sitting comfortably on the large leather couches. In the middle of the plush carpet, three little girls were playing happily with a mountain of toys, closely monitored by two attentive maids.

Out of the three children, one possessed striking white hair. It made it incredibly easy to tell she wasn't mine, but I was smart and had brought plenty of extra plush toys with me.

""Daddy!""

"Uncle!"

The three darlings spotted me, instantly abandoning their blocks to rush toward my legs in a tiny stampede.

It seemed Tina had made absolutely sure to tell little Alice Feng that Luna Zi was her half-sister. At this point, even if my daughter Luna blew my cover completely, I didn't care. Most of my harem already knew the truth and silently accepted the banned harem member into our private Harem-Chat. Besides, she and Tina were rapidly becoming best friends. More than anything, Luna was my daughter, and I adored her.

"Ah! My goodness, I have found three princesses!" I called out dramatically, dropping to one knee. "Here, I have brought white tigers for all of you for being good girls!"

"""Yay!""" The three angels grabbed the plush tigers, spun on their heels, and immediately bailed on me like I was yesterday's news.

Tina, Ana, and Cat watched my pitiful, rejected expression from the couch and giggled in unison. Tina patted the empty cushion directly between herself and Ana, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Cat and Luke already know about Ana," Tina said smoothly, leaning back. "So in our home, just treat her normally. Right, sister Ana?"

I noticed right away that Ana naturally followed Tina's lead, acting very much like the younger sister between the two of us.

Ana nodded gratefully, her green eyes softening as she looked at me. "Let me hold you a bit, Rick. I have missed you."

The moment I sat down, Tina leaned in close, wrapping her arms around my right arm and planting a soft kiss on my cheek. Ana instantly did the same from the left, anchoring me between them.

After a quiet moment, Ana asked tentatively, "Did you hear about the creeper stalker outside?"

"Yes," I replied, smoothing down her brown hair. "He wanted to tell you goodbye and apologize for the past. He is heading out of the country to fight off Dire Beasts in Southern Africa. He will stay there permanently."

Ana was incredibly smart; she knew exactly what kind of brutal ending awaited that man. But feeling completely protected by me, she simply leaned up and kissed my cheek a second time.

For about an hour, the four of us chit-chatted comfortably, playing with the girls until their eyelids grew heavy for naptime. We gathered all three girls, letting them drift off to sleep side-by-side like a little slumber party, while the adults moved into the dining room.

Cat stood up first, offering a waved goodbye. "Boss Tina, I am going to go back to work and eat lunch with Luke. Thanks for watching my baby. Bye Rick—I meant, Leader!"

Cat practically scrambled to bail out of the apartment. She clearly felt like an awkward extra wheel with how clingy Tina and Ana were becoming with me.

Tina noticed the designer shopping bag I was still holding. She looked at Ana, then flashed me a predatory smile. "Ana, Rick wanted me to try on a sexy dress for him," Tina purred, her fingers tracing the edge of my collar. "The kids are fast asleep. Are you interested in sharing some Rick-time with me, or will you just sit in the living room while I play?"

Ana, who had never shared a bed with another woman and her man before, froze. She looked completely unsure and hesitant until Tina quickly explained the ground rules.

"Silly Ana, what exactly is going through your brain?" Tina laughed, shaking her head. "I meant we take turns with Rick. You and I are not doing anything to each other. But this way, you can watch and learn exactly what things Rick likes from a side view. What do you say? Tag team?"

Realizing there was absolutely no girl-on-girl action involved, Ana heaved a massive sigh of relief and nodded enthusiastically. "Yes," Ana giggled, her cheeks flushing a pretty pink. "Rick tires me out completely when we are alone, so having help is a very good thing, ufufu."

And just like that, Ana officially joined the dark side.

There might not have been any girl-on-girl play in my future, but getting to hold both of them side-by-side in bed was an absolute win.
