"How is that possible?"
Wu Yuanpin exclaid in shock, as in his eyes, the three Rank Leaders were already top-tier existences. Even when considering the entire Huaxia, the number of people who surpassed them could be counted on one hand.
"What I'm telling you is the truth, Young Master. You also know that the Second Rank Leader is a bit lecherous. I often find him so beautiful won, so we have a pretty good relationship,"
"Rabbit Gentleman" said, winking,
"He once told about so things in the Dark World. He said that in the Dark World, he could only rank around 300 at most, and the Top Rank Leader could perhaps rank about 200 or even higher. But do you know what it ans to be the sixteenth on the Black List? That's at least top fifty, and even top thirty is possible!"
"This Dark World is that amazing?!"
Wu Yuanpin was completely dumbfounded. The three Rank Leaders, who were once seen as his world's pinnacle, were just ordinary players in another's eyes, which completely shattered his worldview.
It's not that I don't understand; it's that this world is too crazy!
"And that's not all! Young Master, did you know? So of the big powers in the Dark World even control the governnts of so small countries. Even strong nations like Arica and Luo Country don't dare to provoke them because their presidents are human too. Offend them, and who knows, they might just drop dead suddenly!"
"So those superpowers prefer to establish a semi-cooperative relationship with them."
"Please, we must invite this significant figure!"
Wu Yuanpin clapped his thigh in excitent, realizing that the stronger the opponent, the more assured he would be in dealing with that Su kid, right?
Wu Yuanpin's eyes blazed with intense fervor; he seed to have already envisioned Su Chen kneeling at his feet like a dead dog, instantly feeling an indescribable rush of pleasure!
Moreover, if he established contact with such an impressive figure, what would he have to worry about in the future!
"Young Master, about the fee..."
"Rabbit Gentleman" showed a sowhat troubled expression on his face.
"Money is not an issue, just say it, how much do you need?"
Wu Yuanpin said carelessly, waving his hand grandly.
"25 million US Dollars!"
"What?! That much?"
Even as the Young Master of the Wu Family, Wu Yuanpin got quite a shock upon hearing the amount of money.
"Young Master, you must understand who we're dealing with. You know better than I do that you get what you pay for!"
In fact, the real cost was only 20 million; the additional 5 million was tacked on by "Rabbit Gentleman."
After all, following behind you, one should get a little sothing for future settlent needs, right?
Who would want to listen to your commands all day long for no benefit? They're not that desperate!
"You have a point, okay, no problem, I'll pay!"
Wu Yuanpin said through gritted teeth, his hatred for Su Chen overwhelming everything else!
But this was still not a small sum, and Wu Yuanpin felt a pang of pain.
.....
After drinking several cups of alcohol and chatting with Ye i for a while, Su Chen returned ho, feeling much better.
He figured out that worrying was useless; if trouble ca, he would face it head-on.
He didn't believe he couldn't handle a woman!
By the ti he got back to the villa, it was already very late; Lin Ruoxue and Wang Ma were both asleep, so Su Chen went straight to his room to start his cultivation practice.
He felt that since entering the Fifth Layer Realm of Qi Refinent, his cultivation speed had slowed compared to before, but this was quite understandable, as cultivation was always more challenging towards the later stages.
It was like climbing a mountain, where the steepest and hardest parts are near the summit!
Therefore, Su Chen wasn't in too much of a hurry and continued his routine cultivation. He knew that in cultivation, a clear and unhurried mind was crucial, and one should never rush for quick success.
After cultivating through the night, Su Chen wasn't just undisturbed but seed more spirited than ever.
As always, he took a cold shower and then started making breakfast.
When Wang Ma got up and saw him cooking, she had grown accustod to it and began to clean the house.
When breakfast was ready, Wang Ma had almost finished cleaning, and at that mont, Lin Ruoxue also ca downstairs.
"Oh, you're coming with to a banquet tonight."
Lin Ruoxue ntioned casually while they were having breakfast.
"What banquet?"
Su Chen paused in his actions and asked with so confusion.
"It's the celebration banquet for the successful collaboration between Belle Corporation and Yun Corporation, and wasn't it all thanks to you?"
Lin Ruoxue gave him a look, speaking in an irritated tone. When would this guy start focusing on serious matters?
"Isn't it enough for you to attend the celebration? What's the point of going?"
Su Chen indeed had little interest in such banquets, where everyone was insincere, seemingly harmonious but actually only interested in their own benefits.
"You'll be my male companion."
Lin Ruoxue said indifferently, her face still showing little emotion.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen imdiately showed an incredulous expression, his mouth falling slightly open.
After a while, he twisted uncomfortably and said:
"Isn't that kind of inappropriate? You're the CEO, and I'm just a small-ti driver. I better not go."
Hearing this, Lin Ruoxue's anger flared up instantly. She had taken a long ti to decide to invite him, and now this jerk was putting on airs.
"Are you going or not!"
Lin Ruoxue's face suddenly turned cold, as frosty as thousand-year ice.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Su Chen hurriedly nodded, like a startled little deer.
"Even though you're my companion, you still must not reveal our relationship!"
With him agreeing to attend, Lin Ruoxue's expression eased a bit, but she still cautioned him.
"Tch, I don't even want people to know that I'm married to an ice sculpture!"
Su Chen muttered under his breath, clearly dissatisfied.
"What did you say!"
Just as Lin Ruoxue's anger had started to subside, it flared up again at his words. She was about to explode but was interrupted by Wang Ma.
"Hurry up and eat, you can talk later. Otherwise, breakfast will get cold."
Lin Ruoxue had no choice but to swallow the anger rising in her chest and start eating breakfast sullenly.
"By the way, dress more formally tonight, not like last ti."
A while later, Lin Ruoxue suddenly said, referring to the ti her mother Zhang Xinlan had her birthday.
That day he had co in a T-shirt and big shorts, and to this day, the Lin Family mbers still teased him about it.
Su Chen nodded; the issue last ti was that his relationship with Lin Ruoxue had been like that of strangers, which is why he couldn't be bothered to dress up.
But things were different now. Over the past few months, their relationship had noticeably improved, and besides, this was a formal dinner involving the image of Belle Corporation, so he agreed to it.
Seeing him agree, Lin Ruoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a mont, she asked uncertainly:
"Do you have any formal clothes?"
"No, I'll go out and buy a set at noon."
Su Chen shook his head; all his clothes were still at Nether Temple.
"Forget it, I'll go with you to buy them later."
With many important guests returning for tonight's banquet, it was quite significant, so she was not entirely confident about her unreliable husband.
