Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Translator: Noodletown Translated  Editor: Noodletown Translated

After walking out of the Empire State Building, everyone was more familiar and no longer looked like they were strangers.

“Mr. Xie. About the factory you want to build in the West Coast, I’m a bit interested. Why don’t we find another place to discuss this in more detail?” Zhao Kuan smiled and said to Xie Ming.

“If Mr. Zhao is interested, we could definitely sit down and chat about it,” Xie Ming said politely.

They had already sat down and chatted in Mingri Group’s office. Now that they left, Zhao Kuan still wanted to continue talking with Xie Ming.

Since he couldn’t return to the Dragon Tribe, he wanted to do his best as a mortal, focusing all his energy on becoming more successful in the business world.

After talking with Xie Ming, he felt that Xie Ming had good business acumen. Not only did Xie Ming have interesting ideas, but he also had the execution abilities.

Creating a factory on the West Coast was not an impulse. The idea was from understanding the American economy and seeing which areas could be further developed.

Now that Xie Ming had the expertise, experience, and ambition, he was only missing capital investments.

Zhao Kuan was willing to fund this investment to support Xie Ming’s plan.

Mingri Group was quite successful in its international expansions, and a lot of it had to do with Zhao Kuan’s intelligence and vision.

Zhao Kuan would never let go of an opportunity that could expand and strengthen Mingri Group. The U.S. was full of risks and opportunities, and one business deal could lead to more significant business opportunities.

Compared with Zhao Guang who still had the East Ocean Dragon Clan, Zhao Kuan was now in the U.S., and there was no turning back for him. Mingri Group was his future, and it could bring prosperity for the generations after him.

Of course, Zhao Kuan could tell that Zhao Hongyu and Xie Yujia were close. Therefore, working with Xie Yujia’s dad could also satisfy Zhao Hongyu.

“Hehe, since you guys have to talk business, you guys should take your time.” Zhao Hongyu seemed happy, and she looked at Hao Zhonghua and asked with a smile, “Mr. Hao, you don’t mind if I take Hao Ren with me for a while, do you?”

“Of course not,” Hao Zhonghua replied casually.

Zhao Hongyu turned around and looked at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren didn’t know where Zhao Hongyu was taking him, but he didn’t ask.

“Yujia, you stay here. Hao Ren, Zi, and I will be back soon,” Zhao Hongyu said to Xie Yujia.

“OK.” Xie Yujia nodded elegantly. Zhao Kuan and Xie Ming needed to find a coffee shop to sit down and chat, so she went along with them.

Zhao Hongyu, Hao Ren, and Zhao Yanzi walked toward the parking lot underground.

Zhao Yanzi also looked confused; she did not know where Zhao Hongyu was taking them as well.

A red Porsche drove out from the garage.

Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi looked at each other and jumped into the car.

Zhao Hongyu didn’t say anything as she drove the Porsche across the Hudson River in New York.

The car drove across bridges and entered a beautiful valley. This valley had many ranches and farms, which was very different from Manhattan that had many skyscrapers.

Zhao Yanzi softly nodded, and it looked like she already knew where Zhao Hongyu was going to take them.

“Where are we going?” Hao Ren asked Zhao Yanzi quietly.

“Humph!” Zhao Yanzi was still mad at Hao Ren for being so close with Xie Yujia.

“Sigh…” Hao Ren bumped into a wall and could only shut up.

He didn’t know what to do with Zhao Yanzi. Every time he tried to be nice to her, she wouldn’t accept it. However, every time he was close with Xie Yujia, she would be extremely jealous.

The Porsche stopped in front of a large mansion, and it had a large and refined black steel gate that automatically opened.

This mansion was situated by the river, and everywhere around it was filled with natural sceneries.

The car quietly drove on the smooth roads, and Hao Ren estimated that this gorgeous land the mansion was situated on was tens of thousands of acres big, which was larger than ten East Ocean University put together!

Besides the mansion, there were several other structures. There was also a private golf course, a small forest, and a few natural lakes!

Zhao Hongyu stopped the car in front of the large white mansion.

When inside this four-story mansion, one could see the entire surroundings from here.

In this beautiful place, one could no longer feel the hot weather of summer. Instead, it could calm one’s soul.

“Azure Dragon Guard! Black Tortoise Guard! White Tiger Guard! And Vermilion Bird Guard! Greetings, Madam!”

Four strong men in suits walked out from the mansion and greeted Zhao Hongyu.

“You’ve done great, four generals.” Zhao Hongyu nodded at them.

She turned around and said to Hao Ren who was getting off the car, “This was Zi’s Grandpa’s living space in New York.”

Hao Ren looked around, and this peaceful scenery calmed him down.

Hao Ren only met Zhao Haoran a few times, but the latter left a vivid impression on his mind.

Even now, there was Zhao Haoran’s 1,000-year cultivation strength in Hao Ren’s body. From the perspective that Hao Ren owed Zhao Haoran and was of a younger generation, he should treat Zhao Haoran like a grandpa as well.

Zhao Hongyu led Hao Ren into the mansion.

The flooring was all marble, so it looked very high-class but was also incredibly cool. The decorations on the first floor made this place look like an art gallery more than a home.

Zhao Hongyu led Hao Ren to the second floor.

Zhao Haoran’s four guards followed closely. They were all Qian-level cultivators. When Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Yanzi, and Hao Ren were still tens of kilometers away, they already knew they were approaching.

Since this mansion was protected by four Qian-level cultivators, even inspectors didn’t dare to go near this mansion by the Hudson River. This area became a restricted area for cultivators in New York.

This area along with Remote Immortal Mountains, Demon Sea, and Kunlun Mountain became the few places even the Dragon God Shrine couldn’t touch.

“This is where Grandpa cultivated,” Zhao Hongyu said as they reached the second floor.

There was a large empty room on the second floor. From the glass walls, one could see the green golf course outside.

Zhao Yanzi followed behind Hao Ren and looked a bit nervous.

“The third floor is Grandpa’s living area,” Zhao Hongyu said as they walked up toward the third floor.

Hao Ren followed Zhao Hongyu, and the footsteps echoed in the mansion as they walked up the stairs.

“The old dragon king, Zhao Haoran, was a hero of the century. After he retired and started living in New York, he was actually very lonely.” Hao Ren had sympathy for him.

Thinking about Zhao Haoran made him think about his grandma.

Before, Grandma lived in the house by the sea. Although it seemed like life went well, she was actually very lonely.

Even though Zhao Haoran had his gorgeous mansion and was extremely wealthy, he was for sure lonely.

However, Grandma would always nag and try to get Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang to stay in East Ocean City with her. She could also get the girls to spend time with her and chat with her.

Zhao Haoran, on the other hand, couldn’t give up his pride, so he couldn’t keep his children and grandchildren by his side.

Zhao Kuo was aiming for the Heavenly Dragon Realm and was addicted to cultivation, Zhao Kuan was in charge of Mingri Group’s international business unit and was busy with his work, and Zhao Guang was busy managing the domestic operations of Mingri Group as well as the East Ocean Dragon Clan.

Zhao Haoran also didn’t want to disturb his three sons, so he chose to retire in New York. He didn’t want to affect Zhao Guang’s authority in the East Ocean Dragon Clan, and he didn’t let Zhao Kuan’s family come and visit him often.

He had high hopes for Zhao Kuo, but he never called him over, afraid that it would interrupt his cultivation.

Looking through the door, Hao Ren saw that the bed and room were well organized, and he felt a bit sad.

The room was empty… Here lived an old man who used to be a great ruler in the Dragon Tribe.

“The fourth floor is where Grandpa paid respect to the Dragon God.” Zhao Hongyu led Hao Ren up.

The style upstairs suddenly changed to an ancient Chinese theme.

There was a huge statue of the Dragon God on the fourth floor.

The Dragon God was the ancestor of all five-elemental dragon clans.

In front of the statue of Dragon God was a small memorial tablet with the words, ‘Zhao Haoran’, written on it.

Zhao Hongyu went over quietly, picked up three incense sticks, and lit them up before placing them in the incense burner.

Hao Ren also moved forward and lit three incense sticks as well. He was paying respect to the Dragon God as well as Zhao Haoran.

Zhao Yanzi looked at her mom and hesitated a bit before doing the same.

Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird stood quietly by the door. They had been by Zhao Haoran’s side for hundreds of years and were the closest with Zhao Haoran.

When Zhao Haoran took them in, they were still children. They had all reached Qian-level under Zhao Haoran’s teaching and instructions.

Time slowly passed by. Zhao Hongyu stared at the incense sticks as they burned down bit by bit. She seemed to be praying quietly.

Hao Ren was also paying respect to Zhao Haoran. He had Zhao Haoran’s 1,000-year cultivation strength and still remembered how Zhao Haoran out his essence dragon soul into the Black Dragon Spike.

“I brought you here today because Grandpa said that if Zi has a Fuma, we should bring him here to let him see,” Zhao Hongyu said suddenly.

Hao Ren turned around and looked at her.

“But it seems like I’ve been too slow. Zhao Guang and I were scared that Grandpa wouldn’t be satisfied with you, so we were trying to find a good time to explain this to Grandpa. That was why we didn’t bring you here right away. If it weren’t for him going back to East Ocean, he wouldn’t have seen you,” Zhao Hongyu continued to explain.

Hao Ren stared at the black memorial tablet. He knew Zhao Hongyu regretted things like this; she shouldn’t have kept this secret from Zhao Haoran.

“Wa…” Zhao Yanzi suddenly cried out loud.

When she discovered the news that Zhao Haoran had passed away in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, she was only shocked and didn’t have other thoughts. She was only in her teens, so she didn’t have deep feelings for her grandpa who was far away.

However, now that she was standing in this mansion, she remembered a lot from the past.

Zhao Haoran always looked stern and didn’t smile or say much. However, when Zhao Yanzi visited him twice a year during the summer, she could eat and do whatever she wanted in this mansion. Zhao Haoran satisfied all her desires.

Zhao Yanzi once broke a rare porcelain jar from the Song Dynasty. When she was so scared and tried to hide the broken pieces, Zhao Haoran walked by calming and didn’t scold her at all.

Also, Zhao Yanzi once suddenly wanted to cultivate so she ran over to the golf course, destroy all the grasses. Not only did Zhao Haoran not scold her, he even taught her how to cultivate in happiness.

She was scared of this stern-looking grandpa and just came every summer to see him because she had to. However, she missed him a lot now after he was gone.

“Madam, the Old Dragon King has something to give to Fuma,” Azure Dragon Guard said.
