“Ling Sheng boarded Movie King Huo Ci’s sports car, and the duo are suspected to be dating!”

“Screw off, these blind bastards. He’s my biological father!”

Third Master Jun is the most affluent man on earth and this places him at the apex of the world order. However, he is troubled by the fact that the Movie King Huo Ci, despite only being a few years older than him, is his father-in-law.
