Note: Please note that this is the very first Novel I started publishing on WebNovel platform. It is an entry for the contest with the theme of "An Overpowered Male Lead who had cultivated to the highest level and is looking for a new challenge."

When he had just finished with all the tasks related to the chapters, he heard another loud voice – "Jiang, you bastard! You have got big courage to dare to challenge me, Xu Jie!"
J B chuckled inwardly and shouted, "Who are you calling a bastard? Huh? You are the bastard. Your father is the bastard, your whole family is the bastard, even your ancestors are bastards." His shout drew countless gazes and many people opened their windows. People walking on the streets stopped to see the drama!
"You dare say that to our big brother? Come down, let us see if you have the guts." A lackey of Xu Jie shouted.
"Of course I have the guts, because I am speaking the truth. Wait I am coming over, show me what you got. In my eyes your are worse than trash anyway" J B provoked him further.
Xu Jie's face was red with anger.
J B came down and without waiting for the opposite party to respond he said, "Xu Jie, first listen to what I say. I am going to defeat all of you today. And you will all submit to me. And as per the rules of the underworld fight I will be your Boss from then on.
And you will all address me as Big Brother J B. Additionally, later on, I will help you meet your master who expelled you earlier. And I promise to provide you with an opportunity to become his disciple again."
"You know my Master?" asked Xu Jie. Initially, he was angry, but when his master was mentioned, he was overwhelmed with emotions. Doubt, Sadness, anxiety, fear etc. Xu Jie had once been one of the most outstanding disciples of his master. However, he became arrogant and killed a person. His master cut off their relationship and expelled him.
"Of course, I have not only met him but defeated him in the past", J B replied. He had actually fought with his Xu Jie's Master in the previous timeline and even defeated him.
Xu Jie said, "Big words! I don't believe you known my master or can defeat us all".
J B: "Well, I will prove it with my actions." Then he made a provocative hand gesture to invite them and said, "All of you can come at me together."
"Attack" shouted Xu Jie. Hearing Xu Jie's shout, his underlings ran towards J B and attacked him all at once. Punches, Kicks, Clubs, Glass Bottles etc, met J B. But he didn't do anything. He just took out a cigarette and started to smoke. Other than that, he didn't move at all. His physical body was too strong. These attacks meant nothing to him. They can't even scratch him.
Xu Jie's sub-ordinates were all puzzled. Even Xu Jie was dumbfounded.
Xu Jie realized the situation and told his followers, "You are not his opponent, he is a true Martial Artist, probably a hidden master or even a grand master. Withdraw."
"Hey! You wanna try?" J B asked Xu Jie mockingly.
Xu Jie said, "I know from experience that you are at least at the level of a Master. I can't win against you. I am just a Practitioner. So, I accept my defeat. So, from now on, you are our boss and all of us will call you Big brother J B!"
J B: "Ok, from now on you all work for me. In future you will not take up illegal tasks. I will invest in various businesses and you will help me manage and business and provide security."
"We will follow Big Brother J B!" the whole lot of 20 people shouted.
J B: "Xu Jie, don't you need me to take somewhere, to help your acquaintance? His son needs saving right?"
Xu Jie: "How do you…?"
"Of course I know. I am J B! I may not know everything, but I know of things that will help me establish a foundation in Tiandu!" J B smiled.
He continued, "Set up a meeting for two days from now. Contact me at this number. A card flew out of J B's hands and landed on Xu Jie's Palm. The front read 'J B, Dragon Emperor of Tiandu, Youngest Great Grand Master in History'. It had his phone number, email and a small picture on the back. Xu Jie was stupefied!
After handing over the card to Xu Jie, J B decided it was time to meet Yao Wei. So he went to the real estate agency and bought a flat near Yao Wei just like last time. In the previous timeline he was unsatisfied with his appearance but now he can change that at will.
So, he decided to change his appearance to a slightly charming and domineering man, to suit the taste of Yao Wei. Although taking shower and eating food was not necessary, J B decided to indulge in these trivial matters for fun. He waited for Yao Wei to return from Office in the evening. He stepped out at the right time to meet the seductive woman wearing a skin tight dress.
Although he intended to meet her, he couldn't help but get emotional. He continued to stare at her and started to reminisce about the past. Although Yao Wei was slightly charmed, she still behaved in her own way and called out to J B – "What are you staring at? Haven't you seen a drunken woman before?"
J B smiled and replied "Of course I have, but not as beautiful and seductive as you" This time he decided he would be the one doing the teasing.
Yao Wei studied him with interest. Then said, "Oh, I also find you pleasing to the eye, how about being my boyfriend?"
"Since Yao Wei, the President of Longten Studios has proposed to be my girlfriend, how can I refuse? It will be my honour."
Yao Wei couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
"Oh sorry, my bad. I should have introduced myself first. I am J B. An entrepreneur, author and scriptwriter. I was going to meet you to discuss a few business proposals anyway. Didn't expect you to find you here.
I just bought an apartment here. Please take this bag. It contains advanced copies of three of my books and a script for a movie. I am sure you will find it fascinating. And when you are done reading them, give me a call. My contact number is mentioned in the business card that is placed inside the book."
"Oh you seem to be very confident about your books and script".
"Of course I am. How about a bet? If you find it fascinating, go on a date with me. I will treat you to some fine dinner and fine wine. Also, I need to discuss future business plans as well. I will be investing in your studios anyway.
But just don't tell anyone about it just yet. In a few days, my books will hit the market. Although they are very popular online, the hardcopies are yet to be sold."
Yao Wei chuckled and said, "Sure boyfriend." J B took her hand, drew her closer, held her waist and then gave a peck on her cheek. "Sure girlfriend, I will be waiting for your call." Saying that, he didn't stop and left. Yao Wei was dumbfounded for a moment before coming back to reality.
She then laughed and said, "Interesting." She seemed to have found a new toy to play around.
She entered her room and took shower. Then poured herself a glass of wine and opened the bag. She found the three books. She looked at them one by one and was surprised by the titles. One was a Fantasy novel, another about economics and trade and the last one was about Internet Technology.
On the back cover of each of the books, there was a picture of J B and a little introduction of the Author. 'J B, a Mysterious young man. An entrepreneur, scriptwriter & author.' Her lips curled up into a smile.
Instead of reading the Script she started with 'Contemporary Economy & Trade'. Then moved on to 'Zhu Xian'. She hadn't finished either of the books, just read the first few chapters. She then read the script.
She didn't read 'Future of Internet Technology' because she was already tired. "Should I give him a call?" she mumbled then checked the time on the Smartwatch. It was already 2 AM. She wanted to call immediately but felt awkward. She then picked up 'Zhu Xian' and continued reading till it was morning.
