HISS!
Except for a universal intake of breath, it was dead silent everywhere within earshot of that statement from Xu Que.
The bullet comments in the live-streaming room even stopped for several seconds. Not one comment floated by.
Everyone was struck dumb by what they’d heard: the capital’s most famous corporation, Xia Enterprises, was about to go bankrupt.
How was this possible? Xia Enterprises had towered over its competition for so many years. It had long been renowned throughout the country and, in fact, throughout the entire world. It had developed a huge set of clients in overseas markets. For a long time, a wave of favorable news about the corporation had broken out and created a stir in the stock market, driving up its stock value. How could it be bankrupt now?
As for the officials in the Xia family, most people didn’t know, although those in the inner circle were aware, that it was all because of the old master of the Xia family that they had risen so high. How could the Xia family be sacked for corruption out of the blue like this?
Moreover, even if all those things had happened, even if Xia Luoqing couldn’t bear all the bad news, how would Xu Que know that Xia Luoqing would have a nervous breakdown and choose to jump off a building, rather than die in millions of other ways?
What kind of f*cking prophecy was this? It seemed like deliberate sabotage.
“Oh, Xu Que, you’re able to kill me, that I don’t doubt. But when you said my Xia Enterprises was going to fall from power and go bankrupt, that’s an impossible lie. You know nothing about the strength of my Xia family.” At this point, Xia Luoqing laughed coldly.
At the moment, he also didn’t care that Xu Que was live-streaming. He just openly spoke out loud, not because of hubris or arrogance, but purely because he was emboldened by his rage and he had the self-confidence.
Even though he spoke these fierce words in such a public setting, he didn’t have to worry about any consequences at all.
He firmly believed that, because of the strength of the Xia family, it was impossible for the Xia family business to collapse just like that. He also felt certain that they would be able to control this minor public debacle.
“Yes, but my prophecy is very accurate. You just wait and see. I believe it will take effect within half an hour,” Xu Que said with a grin, while his fingers tapped his cell phone, bringing up a simple countdown function.
Soon, the bullet comments in the live-streaming room were making a racket.
“Live-streamer, you’ve got your timing wrong.”
“Half an hour is 30 minutes, not ten minutes.”
“The live-streamer’s math must’ve been taught to him by a gym teacher.”
“Bullsh*t, don’t get the gym teacher involved in this, okay? Everyone knows half an hour is 30 minutes. That’s common knowledge.”
…..
Many people were making a racket because Xu Que had only set ten minutes on the countdown clock.
Xu Que looked calm and said with a light chuckle, “You all have misunderstood. I said that under general circumstances it would take effect within half an hour. But the situation this time is not so general, so ten minutes should be enough.”
“Ten minutes?”
The old men who were leading figures in the martial arts world, along with the group of the Xia family’s men in suits and Xia Luoqing, were all obviously startled. Soon they had the strangest expressions on their faces.
“The Xia family is going to go bankrupt and collapse in the next ten minutes?”
“How is that possible?”
Even if he had exceedingly effective means, it would still be extremely difficult to accomplish this in ten days, not to mention a mere ten minutes.
“Oh, what a joke!” Xia Luoqing sneered and repeatedly shook his head. He was sure that Xu Que was going to bring disgrace upon himself.
Standing at his side, Boss Lin had slowly regained her calm. She said coolly, “Young Master Xia, the rooftop has been prepared for you. You can take this elevator any time you want to go up.”
Xia Luoqing’s expression froze as he looked at Boss Lin in astonishment.
“The rooftop has been prepared for me?”
“What a nutcase! You’ve gone crazy too, haven’t you?”
“How can you, Boss Lin, believe what Xu Que said?”
“Besides, even if the Xia family is really in trouble, I, the Young Master, am not incapable of withstanding it. As to that nervous breakdown, I don’t think so.”
“A saying from ancient times goes, even the lowly cricket and the ant cling to life, so I will never f*cking jump off the building!”
The scene had returned to calm, but the atmosphere seemed more and more threatening.
Xu Que’s sense of strategy and his fully confident appearance made everyone feel bizarre and nervous. Even Xia Luoqing was beginning to have doubts about the situation.
“It can’t be?”
“It’s not likely to go so far, is it?”
“How can my Xia family’s worldwide empire be finished like this in ten minutes?”
“Can it be possible that this guy’s prophetic ability is completely fake?”

At this moment, an enormous swarm of people had gathered outside of the building. Many of them were people who’d been safely evacuated due to the alert about the elevator breakdown. There was also a small group who’d specially rushed over here because they’d watched Xu Que’s live-streaming.
Among them were Xu Que’s three college roommates.
They’d come in a car, rushing all the way to the destination, but then they’d been told that they wouldn’t be allowed into the building.
The building had been surrounded by the police, who had used police tape to cordon off the building itself and a lot of its surrounding area.
Was it necessary to have all these activities over an elevator breakdown?
“Hey, you guys, look quickly, isn’t that our Campus Belle Lin and the beauty who was in the period costume?” Roommate #4, who’d been checking out the area, had just caught a glimpse of Lin Yuxi and Xuanyuan Wanrong in the building.
“Crap, how come the two of them are together?!” Roommate #2 immediately exclaimed when he saw those two beautiful women.
“Can we please forget those two beautiful women for now? Xu Que, Roommate #3, has just made a prediction in the live-stream. I’m afraid he’s going to make a fool of himself.” The older student who was traveling with them shook his head and looked worried.
This matter today had created such a big ruckus. The Xia family would certainly settle scores with Xu Que at some point. The consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.
“I’m to blame. I shouldn’t have lent the live-streaming room to this fool. Now he’s gotten crazy from playing. He must have really let it go to his head because he became so popular.” Roommate #2 blamed himself.
“F*ck, what’s the point of saying this now? No time for recriminations. Let’s hurry up and find a way out of this situation,” the older student said.
“Find a way out? Why don’t we blow up Xia Enterprises?” Roommate #4 said with a serious expression.
Roommate #2 and the older student completely ignored this idea that the dunce had had.
During all this time, Lin Yuxi and Xuanyuan Wanrong had been sequestered by the police and the security guards in a corner of the hotel lobby with a bunch of other people. But they had also been staring at the cell phone screen. Lin Yuxi had received the news about what was going on from her roommates. That was how she knew that Xu Que was actually hosting a live-streaming event and that he had kicked up a fuss with Xia Luoqing.
Originally she’d thought it was just a fight between these two idiotic boys. She definitely hadn’t expected to see Xu Que pull up an elevator with his own strength and deter so many men with guns.
What was even more frightening was that now this guy had actually come out with a prophecy that said the Xia family was going to go bankrupt and collapse.
It…it was going too far.
“Is it because of me, or is it…because of her?” Lin Yuxi whispered to herself. Her eyes couldn’t help glancing at Xuanyuan Wanrong, trying to guess the reason why Xu Que would do all this crazy stuff.
But she actually knew the answer in her heart. It was definitely because of Xuanyuan Wanrong. After all, this woman was simply too perfect, whether it was her looks or her temperament. She, Lin Yuxi, even though she was known as the campus belle, knew that Xuanyuan Wanrong was way out of her league.
…..
The time slowly ticked by…
Three minutes!
Five minutes!
Nine minutes had passed…
On the top floor of the building, the crowd was staring intently at the time, and they began to feel nervous inside.
And now it was down to the last minute, only a few dozen seconds away from Xu Que’s so-called prophecy taking effect.
What would happen in the end?
Was he being serious, or was this guy just talking big?
Even if Xia Luoqing himself was positive that Xu Que’s prediction was not going to happen, he couldn’t help but start to be nervous at this moment.
TICK TOCK!
TICK TOCK!
The second hand on everyone’s watch was still moving along…
Amid the crowd’s various states of minds, the ten minutes that Xu Que had first predicted as the time the company would fail had arrived.
All the people raised their heads at the same time and looked at Xu Que.
Xu Que looked at the live-streaming room’s countdown clock on his cell phone, which had just come to an end. The corners of his mouth slightly ticked up as he raised his right hand.
SNAP!
He snapped his fingers and said with a smile, “Everybody, the moment to witness the miracle is coming now.”
BUZZ!
At that exact moment, Xia Luoqing’s cell phone vibrated sharply.
Immediately after, the cell phones of two of the Xia family’s men in suits, who could be considered the leaders of this group, also suddenly vibrated.
These three people were startled and immediately took out their cell phones. They took one look at the caller display, and their faces suddenly changed. A chill traveled from the soles of their feet straight up to the crowns of their heads.
