Chapter 1: Chapter 1: It’s like a drug

Race to the

Throne

Chapter 1: It's like a drug

It's been a week since I found myself inside this fat ass body and in the new world. The world is quite similar to the old Han Dynasty

And so far, I have come to know that my name is Hao Jiazhi and I am the 4th son (also the youngest) of Emperor Hao Zhenya, the Emperor of Tengyuan Kingdom

A small kingdom between 4 big kingdoms

Let's not talk about international stuff and know our position in this new world

In the span of 4 weeks, I tried to get as much information as possible as I need to know where I am and what the hell I should do in the future

And, do you want to know what I have come to know so far?

I am a super fat ass kid aged around 17 and my connection or relations with other people is shit

I am disrespected by my own maids as I have no power or confidence in myself and I live inside a small 3room house, its only ground floor, away from the main royal palace and also away from my own brother/sisters

As for skills, it's a world of martial arts and people who excel in martial arts can fly up in the air just like we have seen in that Chinese historical drama's (not referring to qi or cultivation thing) so for sure I know some martial arts or that's what I had thought as this guy,

The old Hao Jiazhi is a fucking Hikikomori/shut-in (someone who lives inside his room only and rarely moves outsides)

Thank god, he is dead, or else I would have killed him…

Back to the point, I have zero shit in me

Still, this kid did save up enough money that can be used in emergency

Now, the main thing

What to do?

It's a world where one will be killed if you are lenient and me being royal blood who has zero things by my side, is an emergency fodder for sure in the worst-case scenario so…?

In this one week, what I have come to know is that I need power to survive, just like back on earth and I have made up my mind… I will, one more time become the boos of my own gang

Why?

You may not know but back on earth,

I was the type of guy who no one wanted to mess with, not even police officers or politicians, no one dared to cross my line as they know just how worst or just to what extend I can show my hatred

I was the person who ruled the world behind the screen as I chose the next political leader, next officer, and next big person in the business line

I was the kingmaker and all those people who roamed in the limelight, including girls, all of them bow their head to me

It was truly something that you can never experience

And now, that I have lost that power, I want it back

I am young again, so why not?

Hao Jiazhi, in his white hanfu dress, steps out of his small room and look at the outside world, he is thinking something evil for sure

'But before that, I need to cut some weight and also learn the language of this world, also martial arts after all its, not a modern age where you can have guns…'

. . .

My reason for gaining power or making my own gang in this new world may sound stupid as it is totally unnecessary, but

But it's because you never held the power that I once held in my hand

Once you have a taste of it, you can't forget it… It's like a drug

6 months later-

In the blink of an eye 6 months passed by, though it is only a blink for us but for Hao Jiazhi… it was a ride through hell

In these 6 months of time, Hao Jiazhi learned about the political figures and his ranking/status in the whole royal blood and imperial/royal palace, which is utterly bottom and also something he doesn't care about

Hao Jiazhi not only lost his weight, he now has a good build, but he also learned about the economy and structure of the kingdom

Also, he learned sword/weapon martial arts as he knew boxing and other hand to hand combat skills, after all, he used to be a pro fighter back on earth.

"I have to say, this guy does have a good face" Hao Jiazhi said as he looked in the mirror and wore his dress

After wearing his dress, he called out a servant and handed his old clothes for the wash

After that, he closed the door of his room and sat near his study table

He takes out a scroll and expands it on his study table

The scroll had various things drawn on it, it is a map

"So this is the territory/province that belongs to me…" Hao Jiazhi said as he looked at the map

The map had a name written on it, Jinmin

Jinmin is a small province as compared to the other province under his brother and sisters rule but it is not that small as you may think

It's a big state

But still, it is really small as there are only 3 districts in this province and 2 of them are only village area (and somewhat city) and one of them is a city area

"Seems like my father don't love me much," Hao Jiazhi said as he looked at the map and the districts

And then he takes his brush and taps it on a certain place

"This is the place, from where I will start my reign" Hao Jiazhi said as he looked at the map with an evil smile as if he can already see himself ruling that place

On the map, the place that had been marked is 'Jinyi'. The biggest village area in the whole Jinmen Province

. . .

CREATORS' THOUGHTS
mrCat mrCat

how is the first chapter?

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Negotiation

Race to the

Throne

Chapter 2: Negotiation

What is the easiest way to gain money and power?

Simple, take it away from others by force…

Sounds stupid but… this is the only easiest way one could think of

And that's the reason why Hao Jiazhi wants to create his own gang, as he desires power and money to his very core/soul

Present story-

Hao Jiazhi is done with his weight loss program and now he is fully fit and fine

Now it's time to search for people who would work for him, but before that, he needs someone very special

Who is it?

It's an attendant, the person that will only follow his order like a loyal dog or any other pet

'I really can't believe that I don't even have a signal loyal servant' Hao Jiazhi said as he steps out of his room and looks at his servants

His mansion is small, very small, and only 5-7 servant's work for him and also he has 2 guards at the entrance of his mansion

Just by looking at the size of his property, anyone could say that he is useless to the emperor and holds no future

This means that he will have a very hard time making his own connections for his future plans

Hao Jiazhi looked around and then thought 'Let's have one loyal servant for the starter at least'

The reason why Hao Jiazhi died in his past life was because of his old mistakes

He used to fill so much fear in his enemy and his people around him that the only thing they thought of was to survive, just survive

And in the long run, their instinct for survival woke up and they all joined hands to kill him

What did he learn from these mistakes?

Never make people fear you so much that they only think about surviving or, never make them fear so much that they no longer fear death and only think about survival by any means

There were some other things that he learned from his past mistakes and one of the biggest mistakes he committed was to forget his principals

A man should always have a principal and he should never forget them… The moment he forgets those principals, he will lose his mind

Hao Jiazhi had kept these things in his mind and made up his mind that in this life, he will never burry his principals and don't cross certain lines that would be bad for his future

After all, he won't want to die, but this greed for power will surely keep him near death

Hao Jiazhi took his savings and steps out of the mansion, though he is of royal blood and should have guards around him…. But he holds zero power and respect, so no one bothers what or where he is going

His house/mansion is inside the City "Huangyi", the capital city of the Province (state) Jinmen

Thanks to being Hikki, not many people recognize Hao Jiazhi

The city is the same as we all see in those Chinese historical dramas, food carts here and there, people buying stuff, kids moving here and there, merchants are trying to sell their stuff, taverns are open, blah-blah… its normal

Hao Jiazhi doesn't have any type of interest around him, so he just takes a peek here and there and walks towards his destination

What is his destination?

It's a bar or entertainment place for young blood or Red Light Area

The best thing about these old times is that, if you have money… then it doesn't matter who you are or what age you have…

You can enter and leave any place as you wish

And the amount of money he has is enough to move around freely

By asking ways from strangers/passerby, Hao Jiazhi has now reached his destination

The size of the bar is a little bit bigger than a tavern and it also has guards at the entrance

Surely they would have stopped Hao Jiazhi from entering the place but the moment they saw his well-tailored clothes, they knew that the guest is someone rich

So they dint bother him

"Welcome to Soft feather's bar..." few girls came and said/greeted to Hao Jiazhi

Soon he saw various girls one after another and each of them is a beauty any man would like to hold

"Ohh… you are so cute, let me cuddle you"

"hey… want to burn the morning?"

As Hao Jiazhi enters the place and walks through the hall, various females tried to hold him and take him to their own rooms

'They are really lively even during the day…' Hao Jiazhi said to himself as he looked around

"Dear Guest, are you here to just enjoy dance and wine or for some other things?" A very beautiful lady came and asked Hao Jiazhi

Hao Jiazhi smiled and said, "I am not here to enjoy, rather I am here to buy a doll for my needs… Can I meet your head?"

You guys can understand what he wants right?

A doll means that he is here to buy a girl

The lady smiled and said "This way"

Hao Jiazhi nodded and followed her to some certain place/room

'See, this is the reason why I love the old world… everything is normal. It's just business, pure business' Hao Jiazhi said to himself as things are going smoothly

Following the lady, Hao Jiazhi reaches a room. He went inside

Inside the room-

There is a female sitting on a big sofa which is surrounded by veils.

How was he able to tell that it is a female?

Body shape…

The lady went inside the veil and told something to the lady sitting on the sofa; she is the big boss for sure

After some talk, the female boss (let's call her female boss) looked towards Hao Jiazhi and asked "You want to buy someone?"

Hao Jiazhi said "Yes"

"How much money do you have?" She asked

"Depends on what you will show me" Hao Jiazhi said

Remember guys, never tell your budget to any merchant as they might try to sell you some fucked up shit as they want to keep the best among them for the highest buyer

Few words of exchange were enough to tell Female Boss that Hao Jiazhi is not new in this business, he has for sure bought and sold various things to know how to properly deal with others

The female boss stayed silent for a while and then said "Are there any specifications?"

Hao Jiazhi smiled as he knew that he will get himself a pet for sure today, thus he said "A girl who has a mature body and good-looking face, but most importantly… She should be broken"

The female boss didn't understand Hao Jiazhi's fetish and said "Broken? You got some weird fetish…"

Hao Jiazhi didn't reply anything and asked "You have someone like this?"

"yes, I have… Not just one but many as there are people who have unique tastes… Shall I show them to you?" The female boss asked

"Yes" Hao Jiazhi replied

And thus, the female boss called her servants and soon one after another, 5 females enter the room

All 5 of them had no life in their eyes but they all are beauty and has good seductive body

Hao Jiazhi is not a picky type of a person, so he just picked the first person

"Her name and price" He asked as he pointed his finger towards the first girl

The rest of the females were then sent back

"Her name is Han Yachun, age 21. As for her price, its 40,000 ban liang"

Ban Liang is the currency, coin, used in this world.

As for how much is 40,000 ban Liang… well, a simple or most common man has an earning around 100 ban liang which is enough to buy him a bag of rice and other food items, not just for him but for his whole family

And still, he will have some money left with him

So, this 40,000 is a lot

A LOT

Not that much that he could buy a house, but enough to make him buy a small house

As for the money, Hao Jiazhi right now has 50,000 ban liang

Due to him not being favored much by the emperor, the money he gets from the royal treasure is really low, to a point it can be compared to some servants also…

Hao Jiazhi has the money to spend but that doesn't mean he should spend it without thinking anything

Don't forget, as much as he loves power, he also loves money

"Quite expensive for a broken toy…" Hao Jazhi said to her in the hope to lower the price

"Because it's unique and also broken, the price is also much higher than any other normal girl. But it is very low as compared to some normal girls" The female boss replied

"How about 35000 ban liang?" Hao Jiazhi asked

The female boss stayed silent

Hao Jiazhi stood up from his seat and walked towards his product, Han Yachun, and looked at her body

"Even though she is unique, she is still a broken toy which is used by many people…

*looking at the female boss*

I want the price to be lower a bit" He said to her

The boss remained silent and after some time, she said "38,000 ban liang, that's the final price"

Hao Jiazhi took a breath, 38000 ban liang may seem a good deal as 100 ban liang is enough to survive a month and even if he makes the deal with that amount, he will still have a lot for the future use

But, Nooo… it is still a lot

"let's mark the deal with 37000 ban liang?" hao Jiazhi asked her

The boss remained silent and just looked at him

This is the most crucial moment of the deal, as the boss is straying to see if Hao Jiazhi would give or make any mistake

Hao Jiazhi knows these tricks as he had been in this business line for a long time, so he knows that the merchant is trying to see if he will make a mistake as she will try to remain silent and make him feel hesitant

Finally, she opened her lips and said "Ok, it's a deal"

"Thank You" Hao Jiazhi said with a smile
