I’m the Villain’s Lackey, and I Started by Forcibly Kissing the Villain’s Sister - Chapter 5:

Chapter 5: A Blind Cat Runs Into a Dead Mouse

At that moment, Ye Xuan was completely stunned. The smug grin on the corner of his lips immediately drooped. He stared blankly at the contract under his hand, where his fingerprint had just been pressed.

Then, glaring fiercely at Su Chen like a rabid wolf, he snapped, “Hey! What the hell are you doing!!”

“What do you mean ‘what am I doing’? Weren’t you about to buy this raw stone? What’s wrong?” Su Chen shrugged innocently, his expression perfectly punchable.

In that moment, the same thought popped into everyone’s mind—”This little brother is really worth keeping. When something happens, he actually steps up!”

…

“Huuh… That was a 100-million-yuan stone. I almost bought it,” Bai Zihang let out a breath of relief. He didn’t know what had come over him a moment ago—whether his intelligence dropped or what.

He had instinctively wanted to snatch the stone from Ye Xuan, but thankfully, Su Chen’s warning had come in time and snapped him back to his senses.

Taking a closer look, although the stone’s surface looked much smoother and cleaner than the rough one he bought earlier, who knew what was inside?

Especially after the Imperial Jade incident just now, Bai Zihang had gained trust in Su Chen’s appraisal skills. If Su Chen said not to buy it, then it wasn’t to be bought!

So Bai Zihang decisively backed off. He simply stood in place with arms crossed, ready to enjoy the show.

On Ye Xuan’s side, since he had already pressed his fingerprint and was pressured by the shopkeeper and the crowd, he had no choice. He bought the stone with tears in his eyes for ¥90 million.

After examining it with his own appraisal skills, he determined that it was garbage—worth a few dozen or maybe a hundred yuan at most.

But now, Ye Xuan could only hope he had made a mistake in judgment.

Heartbroken, he shouted, “Cut the stone!”

The same craftsman who had just opened the Imperial Jade walked over with excitement and his tools, ready to cut the stone.

However, as the cut revealed a completely lifeless rock with not even a hint of green, the onlookers couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Pfft… Hahaha! You spent 100 million—no, 90 million—for a piece of total trash? Bro, you’re a damn legend!”

“You just lost so hard your ancestors felt it!”

“Ahem… forgive me, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, pfft…”

Everyone started mocking him with no mercy.

After all, every protagonist typically carries a built-in mocking aura.

But normally, after getting laughed at, they’d at least deliver a satisfying Slap in the Face.

But Ye Xuan? Not only did he lose money big time, he also got laughed at in front of everyone. It made him want to run away hugging the stone!

Ye Xuan was on the verge of tears. He had planned to scam someone—he thought Bai Zihang would take the bait. But the guy didn’t even snatch it in the end. It was a complete loss!

No, originally Bai Zihang really was going to grab it, and Ye Xuan would’ve gotten to sell it for 100 million. But that handsome little follower…

Yes, even Ye Xuan had to admit—this guy really was kind of handsome, even looked a bit like peak-era Gu Xiaole.

It was this guy who had stirred things up and caused everything to fall apart!

Despite Ye Xuan’s constant glaring, Su Chen didn’t flinch at all!

What a joke—he had a body of Diamond Vajra, perfected at the twelfth level. Why would he be scared of a weak early-stage protagonist?

If not for the possibility that a future version of Ye Xuan might become some kind of Immortal Emperor, Su Chen would’ve killed him right then and there.

But there was no choice. For now, he could only treat him as an experience pack and level up slowly.

After all, Su Chen had a future—he might get the Villain’s Lackey System and become the true Destiny-Fated Supreme Villain.

Everyone needs dreams, right? You can’t be a sidekick your whole life.

“Haha, kid, your judgment is really sharp!” At that moment, even the so-called ‘Emperor’ of the Antique Street, a figure known as Old Master Kang, came over to make Su Chen’s acquaintance.

Su Chen wasn’t unfamiliar with Kang—he was one of Ye Xuan’s top connections in the original plot. And now? He had become Su Chen’s connection instead?

“Brother Chen, what kind of car do you like? Interested in a Lamborghini? When we get back, I’ll have someone send you a Lamborghini Gallardo.”

Now realizing he had narrowly escaped spending 100 million on a worthless stone, Bai Zihang smiled broadly and wrapped his arm around Su Chen’s shoulder, addressing him like a brother.

As he chatted, he even arranged a new ride for him.

Damn…

Su Chen had just been complaining about how bad it was to be a little sidekick, and now this?

It was freaking awesome!!

“Thank you, Young Master! You’re so generous!” Su Chen could only express his respect with thanks.

“This guy’s worth keeping.” At that moment, Bai Zihang’s heart was full of emotion. He found this young man truly interesting.

The man in front of him clearly wasn’t an ordinary person, yet he still stepped up to help him without fear of offending others.

Just like that, Su Chen won Bai Zihang’s appreciation!

Yes, the mind of a brainless rich second-generation heir was that simple and straightforward.

He immediately felt this guy was trustworthy. It was like a blind cat running into a dead mouse—he’d just happened to pick the right person.

In the future, Su Chen would surely become one of his greatest assets in the fight against Ye Xuan!
