CROWNED IN A HUNDRED DAYS

ALL ELEMENTS ARE
FICTIONAL. DO NOT IMITATE.

King Lie,

I'm back.

You were gone so long.

Did your investigation get anywhere?

Where's Qin Tian?

I sent him to find you.

Forgive me, King Lie.

The situation is complicated.

And it directly involves Qin Tian.

So it took some time.

Involving Qin Tian?

That Head Chef from
District 9 was his man.

Qin Tian wanted him in the Royal City
to poison you and the Queen.

When he refused,
Qin Tian faked his suicide.

Are you saying

Qin Tian tried to have me k*lled?

Where is he now?

After I found out the truth,
he tried to silence me.

That led to conflict between us.

In the end, I dealt with him personally.

What?

You k*lled him?

I didn't just uncover
his plot against you,

I also found he'd secretly controlled
District 9 and 10.

His corruption made life miserable
for the locals.

I never imagined

he would do such things.

Leave me for now.

I need a moment alone.

Seems we've stalled that
fake King Lie for now.

I need to get to District 9
and meet up with them.

Did you just come back from District 9?

You are

the girl Lie brought back from District 9.

Have you seen someone named Wang Xiaoming?

I wonder how those
merchants are doing now.

Businessmen only care about profit.

None of them are reliable.

That's true,

but mutual benefit keeps
a partnership going.

They'll be key
to revitalizing Districts 9 and 10.

But character still comes first.

So, should we discuss
a price for our deal?

I'm just talking business.

Don't mix it with personal feelings.

Personal feelings?

Interesting choice of words.

Hey,

calling him out makes things awkward.

Do we have personal feelings too?

Watch your manners.

How is this different
from a common predator?

Meow, what's wrong?

Are you under a body-freezing spell?

What are you looking at?

Meow,

are you okay?

No, it's nothing.

I want to go buy something.

You all head back
to the District Government Office first.

Buy what?

Let's go.

We'll head back first.

Acting all sneaky.

Xiaohong, where's my order?
It's taking forever.

It'll be right out.

Just a moment.

How do you have time to sneak a beer?

The customer's getting impatient.
- Dad.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Welcome!

Oh, sh**t.

I'm so sorry.

I was prepping in the kitchen
and didn't see you come in.

Come on in.

Business has been pretty slow lately.

Just grab any seat you like.

What would you like to eat?

Clear Broth.

How do you know about this dish?

I...

A friend told me about it a while ago.

Said it's the secret menu item here.

So I stopped by during my business trip.

Xiaoming must have been bragging again.

But this dish might be a bit plain.

If you don't mind, I'll go prepare it.

I'd really love to try it.

Okay, have a seat for a moment.

Dark hair, about this tall.

Really confident, and pretty sharp.

Now that you mention it,

I think I might have
seen someone like that.

Really?

How is he doing now?

Is he doing okay?

Coming, coming!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Thanks.

Haven't made this dish in ages.

Not sure how it turned out.

Hope it suits your taste.

I never knew this dish was so good.

Slow down. Take it easy.

You're choking.

Were you starving? You ate so fast.

Let me grab you some napkins.

Don't worry. He's fine.

That's great to hear.

Here.

All done. Wipe your mouth.

Where is he?

Back now. They're back.

Looks like everything's sorted out.

Where is Qin Tian?

Will he still come after us?
- He'll never threaten you again.

Besides, Miss Huang will take a post
at the District Government Office.

Miss Huang? Of course, we know her well.

So you're saying
Mr. Qin Tian was defeated?

Does that mean District 9
can finally call its own shots?

For real? Lan, tell us what happened!

Yeah! Where is that boy, Meow?

Was he the one who took down Qin Tian?

It's King Lie.

King Lie! Greetings, King Lie.
We pay our respects.

That brat Long Ao was hiding something
after all.

Why

is King Lie here?

Tell me,

what exactly happened here?

Where is the District 9 Chief?

He was m*rder*d by Qin Tian.

Who are you?

King Lie,

I am the Chief of District 10.

We've always been a burden.
Thank you for your patience.

But you must understand,

it was all because of Qin Tian
and that scum from District 9.

Archmage Lei Wan,

what's wrong with you?

They squeezed the people
of both districts.

Then, a few days ago,
they fought and one died.

The other was caught by Mr. Long Ao

and ex*cuted on the spot.

Sorry, righteous anger
got the better of me.

Utter nonsense.

A mere District Chief,

how dare he challenge Qin Tian?

Because they had a child together.

That's him.

You say the District 9 Chief
and Qin Tian had an affair

and he is their son?

Yes, yes, exactly.

We can testify to that.

Everyone in District 9 knows.

It's common knowledge, not even a secret.

Archmage Lei Wan, you're something else.

Just making up a set of parents
for me on the fly.

Why is your gaze filled with so much hate?

That man abandoned us
the moment I was born.

Now, I'm taking back everything I've lost.

You want to take over as District Chief?

What makes you qualified?

I've watched this young man grow up.

He's solid.
The student has surpassed the master.

I really want to just take him out
with one punch.

Stay calm.

I sensed your k*lling intent.

Good.

In that case,

I'll give you a chance to prove yourself.

Tomorrow, enter the
District Chief Assessment.

The District Chief Assessment?

What do you say?

Have you made up your mind?
