"Where are you going?"

They interrogated as soon as they came out from the room by the two henchmen who guarded the entrance.

"This lad has the urge to take a p.i.s.s," he said simply. The guards observed the girl who wore pitiful expression, she rubbed her thigh and tears spilled a little from her eyes, there was reddish complexion on her face.

'Aww...' Both guards' heart flutter as if charmed by the loli.

The man rolled his eyes at their obvious pedophile tendency, "can I go now?"

"Quick, man!"

"Yeah, how dare you make her suffer?!"

'Whom stopping us in the first place?!' He snorted before pulled the girl's hand and rushed toward downstairs, they went through the gate that led into the previous corridor, another henchman already standby in wait.

He crouched beside the girl, "you go with this oni-chan, kay? He will accompany you to a safe room."

"Um, oni-san must be careful!" The loli nodded, she strolled into the corridor and grabbed the henchman's arm. He closed the gate, then with a fast movement, he summoned another him who joined his hand immediately and transformed into the loli's appearance.

"How do I look?" The 'girl' checked her own body.

"Cute," The man nodded.

"Let's wait for some time or they'll be suspicious," she bounced around.

The man stared with a deadpanned expression, 'why looks like he's enjoying it?'

Banquet's hall, second floor.

Ling Yao praise after praise kept boggling Liu Ruyan's mind about his intention, she could feel the feverish gaze from the crowd gathered in front. He cheered her look, glorified her fortune, and celebrated her compa.s.sion. He talked with such an awe that even the most antipathetic person impossible not to move.

"Oh, what you did with that child was truly amaze me..."

"It's superb that you manage to monopoly the local food's market..."

"Your hair texture really smooth, is it natural or a professional care?"

Her irritation couldn't be bigger than how far a dolphin could jump, she glared at him, "what are you purpose here, Mr. Ling?!"

"Oh, I'm glad you ask, I actually don't know how to end the topic without making it awkward..." Ling Yao sighed in bitterness.

Her eyelids closed halfway and her lips twitched one side, "you not really smart are you?"

"Yeah, that's why I always ended up in a supplementary lesson before tests," he laughed, "oh the teacher kinda hot though, little temperament but hot... now that I think about it, maybe that's the reason why most boys failed the test intentionally."

"Please tell me your reason for this operation, Mr. Ling..." Liu Ruyan sighed, this guy knew how to squeeze every drop of irritation from her.

"I want your charity money..." He squinted his purple eyes.

'It seems what the man said was true,' she glanced upward.

"To focus only one orphanage," he curled his lips.

"What?!" Every person in the room including the rest of the henchmen jumped in surprise. Liu Ruyan widened her eyes even further than possible.

"Are you serious?" She narrowed her eyes.

"Do I look like someone who has a fun in playing with people?" He shook his head, but then he cackled, "never mind, I actually do like playing with people, mind game one."

"Hey, be serious!" She bared her angry face like an agitated vixen.

"Yeah, I am! Put all the money into a single orphanage!" He threw his arms up.

"But why? And which?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Because I'm a loving man who dedicated my life into one hottie, why should this be any different?" He chortled, "I'm kidding about the hottie though, I have five of them waiting in bed."

"Ugh, forget the why question, which orphanage?" She rubbed her temple.

"Radiant Future Homes!" He nodded.

People went uproar immediately. Radiant Future Homes had been known for the most funded orphanage, from government into corporation mixed the place into their budget balance sheet. The children who live there have a good and comfortable environment with a flourish stomach and refres.h.i.+ng brain. The reason for the all contribution still up for debate but most people a.s.sumed probably because the orphanage's founder once a great hero in the past war. But like the most orphanage, Radiant Future Homes had a limited quant.i.ty of accommodation thus not all of the homeless and kinless children experienced such luxury facilities.

An already fine place received such a sum of money? It will definitely not going to sit well with other of its kind, especially the one that far from prosperity influence.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what impact you might cause if I do that?" Her eyebrows snapped together.

"I know..." Ling Yao wandered around, His lean body pranced on the stage, "there will be a huge amount of negative emotion combusted in the air, rampaging the entire city with the darkness that no one antic.i.p.ates its arrival, but what most important is..."

He licked his lips, "there will be greed...

the one that consumed them whole, and plagued the entire city."

At the outside of the banquet hall's gate, the girl and the man rode up the stairs and met the two guards outside.

"How's the pee-pee little one? Are you satisfied?" One of them stared at the girl with love in their eyes. The short and tall figure exchanged glances, the girl pulled the man's hand and signaled him to bend down, she went into the man's ear and she whispered something, then the man somehow let out a chuckle.

"What did she say?" The guards wrinkled their covered eyebrows.

"You wanna know?" He curled his lips.

"Of course we do, was she say something good about us?" One of the guards exclaimed.

"Alright, listened closer and carefully..." The man waved his hand, gesturing for them to gather.

Without held suspicious conscience, the two guards strolled toward their right and left respectively then leaned their head.

"She said... Demonic Illusion: Cajolery of Glamour."

Their expression became delayed and the lights on their eyes began to fade. The man smirked while the girl curled her lips, "we shouldn't wasting time, this Ling Yao becomes weirder and weirder by a second."

"Yeah, come on," the man nodded and they both pushed the door opened.

The girl went into her family as soon as they joined the hall but she wandered among the crowd after that. With perfect cover from the tall people around her, her figure managed to avoid most of these henchmen's observation. Despite getting caught by the pair of eyes, but the owner still ignored her since a little girl couldn't possibly generate any threat for them. The girl tip-toe between the feet of people and mingled her loli body among the population's high density. She stopped times to times, pondered a while before moved out again.

"Come on Ms. Liu, will you do that for me?" Ling Yao slid his eyeb.a.l.l.s toward her.

"Will you let these people go?" Liu Ruyan threw her face away from him.

"Hahaha, of course... after they had served their purpose, I let them go!"

"What are their purpose?" She tilted her head.

"You'll know soon," he nodded, a smirk hooked his lips.

"It wasn't something dangerous, right?"

"No, of course not, they just have to do some simple tasks!" He raised his shoulder.

After made sure the reliability of his words and gave it a thought for quite some time, she sighed before nodding her head, "Ok, I'll focus all the charity's money into Radiant Future Homes."

"Bravo! It wasn't so hard right?" Ling Yao laughed in a carefree manner, "you know, Ms. Liu, we totally hitting off here, you and I should get dinner sometime, I tell you all the joke about bars."

"Even if you are the last man in the entire solar system, I wouldn't dine with you," she coldly said.

"Aww, look at you, flirting with me, since when we got into this point?! I must have missed something."

"..." Liu Ruyan closed her eyes and gave her cold yet seductive shoulder.

Ling Yao curled his lips sideways, he glanced at one of the henchmen, "contact the jammer team, told them to deactivate the device."

"Yes, boss!" The man nodded, he raised the walkie-talkie, "jammer team, copy!"

"Affirmative, what's the order?"

"Deactivate the jam!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

Somewhere in the hotel, four men with a.s.sault rifle surrounded a machine with two antennae like a pair of horns on an ox head. One of them crouched in front of the machine that shared the same size with him, he fiddled with the panel on the machine before it whispered a tune, then on its display, a word "Standby" appeared.

In the hall, handphones started singing and shaking, letting out a relieved breath from a various individual in the crowd, as if there were part of burdens had been lifted from their shoulder. Ling Yao nodded, he glanced at the healthy skin woman beside him, "Ms. Liu, my... other language is never been so well, and I'm sure none of my henchmen here know other words besides 'f.u.c.k' and 's.h.i.+t', or 'Kimochi' and 'Yamete', so... will you gladly convey my messages to our friends from different country?"

"Sure, whatever," Liu Ruyan still closed her eyes.

"Bravo! So tell them like this, I want every person in here to bring out their phone and access their social app, and tell them to post, chirp, update, or whatever that Liu Corporation will focus their charity fund-raiser to Radiant future homes."

Liu Ruyan wrinkled her eyebrows, then she did what she was told. Albeit the situation made everyone turned their head upside down but still unable to understand these spiky-haired and narrowed-eyes man intention, they still opened up their V-book, Chirper, Qzone, Weibo, Wechat, and many other. They even created a new thread in many forums regarding this event.

Ling Yao sneered in satisfaction, "now... I want you to tell them to raise their phone, activate their camera and record your presence who stand in the stage while confirming this news, oh... and make sure none of us get seen."

"Are you trying to humiliate me and destroy my company's reputation?!" She gritted her teeth and gripped her elbow.

"Em, no and no, someone like you can easily gain your fame back right? After all, you're the G.o.ddess in people's heart," Ling Yao laughed.

The girl in the crowd observed the situation with an ugly expression, 'this is not good, I have to hurry or otherwise things could get more grave,' she hunkered down and her finger drew something in the floor.

"Fine, but don't think you can get away after this!" Her voice turned frosty.

"Oh, that's something that I just have to take care myself," he grinned while strolled away from her.

"..." She rubbed her temple, she faced the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen..."

With Jammer's team.

"What's going on down there?" One of the henchmen leaned against a shelf with his right shoulder.

"I'm not really sure but some men said Boss didn't plan to rob the charity money," a henchman sat on a chair that closest to the jamming device.

"What?! Then why we here for?!" another henchman expression turned ugly, he stood behind a double leaf door.

"I don't know, Boss just told us a little about his plan and just went on in his own," the chair henchman shook his head.

"f.u.c.k, that lunatic just keep getting on my nerve, it's only the matter of time before I decide to kill him myself!" The henchman smacked the shelf behind him.

"Hey, mind your words, talk s.h.i.+t about my boss again, don't blame me for being ruthless," the chair-man coldly looked at him, his hand ready on his rifle.

"Ok, fine!" He s.h.i.+vered, raising his hand in surrender, "but why you guys manage to stay loyal with him even after... "

The chair-man sighed, "despite his shortcoming, but he still our leader, also, back in the old days he's actually very kind to us."

"What change him?" The man who sat on a table and just silent the whole time finally spoke.

He shook his head, "it just... sort of happen."

*Tap!* *Tap!*

"Who's there?!" They raised their rifle toward the leaf door as they heard the knock.

"I... I... I'm one of the staff hotel, one of your people tell me to bring drinks for the people in here, he said from surveillance," the male voice came from behind the door.

"Oh, nice, we actually indeed very thirsty..." The man in front of the gate about to stroll forward, but the chair-man rose from his spot and stopped him, "wait, don't open it now."

He took out his walkie-talkie, "surveillance come in."

"Yes, jammer team?"

"There's a staff outside the door of our room that wanted to deliver drinks to us, he said it was from you, is it true?"

"Yes jammer team, rest a.s.sure!"

"Much appreciate surveillance, Jammer team out!"

The chair-man nodded his head toward the man in front of the door, then he sat back into his seat. The door-man strode forward and grabbed one of the handles, he pulled it open, "alright, what drink we-"

*Swoos.h.!.+*

*Bam!*

A blazing wind blasted the man's body, hovering him in the air, not a second had pa.s.sed after that, a man in a uniform rushed in and launched three b.a.l.l.s of water in different direction; one ball turned around the corner and smacked the henchman's face away from the shelf, another rushed forward and knocked the target's from his chair, the last one went in diagonal direction, curved its path a little and punched the last man standing, smas.h.i.+ng his body against the wall behind him.

The action yet to over, the man dashed, heading toward the henchman in his front, he kneed him in the face then turned around, bent his body as he grabbed the henchman's a.s.sault rifle, he raised the rifle and aimed it toward the henchman on his left, breathing out tons of bullet that took a nest in the henchman body. In a swift motion, he turned to his right and started shooting the target who still recovered, a 'pitpatpitpat' sound reverberated in this luxury cabin.

The man aimed the rifle toward the air and fired several bullets on the henchman who still in the air.

*Thud!*

From the moment the door henchman flew in the air till he touched the floor back, three seconds not even pa.s.s but all of them already died beside one person underneath his feet in this room, the uniform man stood up and swept his surrounding, he stopped at the black colored machine in the heart of the room, curled his lips and dragged the henchman toward it.

He placed the man in front of the machine and aimed his rifle at him, "activate it!"

"... As you can see, in our recent discussion, we thought about which orphanages we should put the charity's money into..."

Liu Ruyan held the microphone in her hand, her face was aghast like she just saw a ghost. The crowd held high their phone and recorded her statement in a form of a video. Outside the hotel, people already let out their uproar and created a commotion, some of them cursed her for being deceit and a fraud, part of them held their jealousy upon the Radiant Future homes and desired for the fortune they just received. Of course, without any foundation to support the rumor, some people still unable to just believe it, even the news press unwilling to trust the media since they had no reliable source and Liu Corporations was not something you dare to mess with just a rumor.

At Yu Lei International headquarter, in PR department work floor.

Mingyu, Zhang Cai, Zhao Hongyan, and the rest of the sister were chirping.

"This is hot!" Zhang Cai scrolled the middle of her mouse in a rushly manner, surfing through tons of flames and waves of anger of netizen response.

"Yeah, I literally could feel the heat in my chin!"

"That comes from the steam of the hot noodle cup you currently eat..."

"Oh yeah, hehe..."

"I wonder what makes the Liu Corporation's CEO suddenly decided this... is not that the Radiant Future homes didn't require any support but there are a lot of orphanages that deserve it more," Hongyan touched her jaw with her finger and glanced upward.

"I agree with Hongyan, there is this orphanage nearby my house and their rooftop tend to leak if big rain swoops down!"

"That's sad, why no one from your house area helped them fixed it?"

"We try patching it once, but it happens again, and now we tried to collect a monthly fee for their renovation."

Hongyan turned her head only to see a purple-orange streak haired woman dispirited expression while looking at her phone, "Mingyu, what's going with you?"

"Hongyan..." She mumbled, "Naruto didn't answer my message..."

She rolled her eyes, "he probably busy, give it some time."

Mingyu shook her head, "I have sent this since an hour ago, how come he still not reply?"

"Well, maybe he required a bit of time to text you back, what message did you send?"

"... Tuut..." She said.

"..." There was a pregnant pause in the midst of chirpy conversation among the sisters.

"That's it?!" Hongyan screamed, her shrill voice almost jumped out other people's heart, she smiled awkwardly and expressed her apology, she snapped her head toward Mingyu, "are you seriously just send him that kind of message?!"

"I just want to be playful," she bitterly sighed, "is that bad?"

"Well, not really... but it just... I... OK, I lost for any words," she ignored her and conversed with other sisters.

Mingyu huffed as she stared back at her phone, waiting for any incoming messages from a certain blonde.

Back at the Emerald Quaza hotel, up above the hall's stage.

"... thus on the behalf of Liu Corporations, I express my sincere apologies for the sudden change we made, I hope people can forgive me."

Liu Ruyan put down her microphone, her skin turned pale from the depression she suffered. People put down their phone and about to upload the video. Ling Yao grinned in satisfaction while watching from the far sideline.

"Huh? No service?"

One of the people in the crowd exclaimed after witnessing the video failed to upload. Then after his outburst, one by one from the crowd started following his footsteps and roared their result.

"Hey, there is no connection here!"

"Yeah, you block our signal again!"

Ling Yao expression turned ugly, he glared at one of the henchmen who turned pale, "what the f.u.c.k is going?!"

"We don't know boss, the jammer team failed to answer our call," The man brought up the walkie-talkie, "surveillance, do you read me? Surveillance!"

"I hear you, there is a problem in the jamming room, the vid suddenly went dark and the radio went silent!" A panic voice resounded from the speaker.

"f.u.c.k, what the h.e.l.l they are doing?! Send men to check up on them!" Ling Yao's voice choked with murderous intention.

"Certainly Boss!" Six people dashed out from the hall, they didn't notice the lack of response from the two guards in front of the gate.

Ling Yao brushed his spiky hair, he meandered in the stage, "I'm really sorry, you know I don't really like a surprise so please have some understanding toward my outburst."

He waved his hands, "well, since the internet down, and you guys possibly couldn't connect with your friend from outside then I guess we should play some game, to waste some time?"

"Or you could just let them go, and they'll upload it in different places?" She curled her lips.

"Oh, please, you let the goats out and they will start eating the neighbor leaves..." He chuckled.

"What exactly you're going with that comparison?" She faced him with a poker-face.

"Shut up, woman," he grumbled and walked away.

10 minutes later.

"OK, this taking too long, I'm not a patient man, even though that's not my main trait but still," Ling Yao rose from his spot, his usual grin no longer visible on his face. He stretched his body, do some warm up, and strode off from the stage with both hands inside his pockets, "I take care this my self..."

He stopped right before the next hall, he turned his head over his shoulder, a devilish grin decorated his face, "lookout for this people, if someone turns naughty, you guys know what to do..."

"Yes, boss!"

Everyone watched as his figure slowly disappeared from the hall into out of the banquet completely. They breathe out a relieve air, to be honest, even though he somehow goofy and weird, this man as if spread a hideous spore from his body. Even Mr. Liu all the time had three layers of wrinkle on his forehead, as long as he lives, he had seen many things that mysterious and unspeakable, for example; he once saw a man punch the entire metal sheet and made a hole out of it.

And he could vaguely see someone's aura, this Ling Yao's... has a complete pitch black.

Ling Yao strolled toward the elevator, he got in and tapped the number four b.u.t.ton, he hummed while leaning his back against the ascending box's wall.

*Ding!*

The gate slid open, a wall made of expensive wood with orange wooly carpet and green long rug entered his eyes. A medium-sized portrait of greenish landscape hanging on the wall, above a cla.s.sic stool table with bright yellow sunflower inside a Chinese theme vase. His face remained unimpressed by the luxurious view presented in front of him, he moved his military boots forward with the mysterious air cloaking all-over his body.

He pa.s.sed through the elevator and turned into his right, a six body of his henchmen laid on every part of this long pa.s.sage; two dropped dead on the floor, two another on both sides of the wall, one stuck in the door's gate, and the last one dragged quite far from the rest.

He curled his thin lips, continued strolling forward without even bother by the corpse of his men. His lips slanted one side and his purple iris glinted cold reflection. He pa.s.sed first door, second door, third door, then...

*Pitpatpitpatpitpat!*

A rapid-fire from a.s.sault rifle came from the room on his right side, but in fluid movements like water, Ling Yao bent his body while pushed up the gun's barrel with his right hand, he pulled the rifle and launched his left fist to his attacker on the right but got blocked by the attacker's knee.

He swung the rifle downward, stood on his feet, and he struck his left fist again, hit the attacker's face, then back kicked the attacker while robbed the rifle away.

Ling Yao sneered, he wanted to look at the enemy's appearance but sadly an incoming hard knuckle smashed his cheek and turned his body around, hitting the wall with his back. A fist bashed his left rib and incoming attack about struck his right rib but Ling Yao trapped the hand under his armpit and slapped the rifle in his right hand into the enemy's face.

The attack managed to throw the enemy's off but at the same time, he lashed his feet and knocked back Ling Yao under feet, making him knelt. Ling Yao prepared to shot the rifle but his enemy held the weapon sideways and got his face elbowed by the enemy's left arm.

The rifle changed owner again.

His enemy turned around and shot Ling Yao, but no bullets came out. Ling Yao laughed as he threw the rifle's magazine to his enemy face, beat his body to the side, then Ling Yao rushed forward and tackled his enemy body down.

He wasn't clear his enemy gender since the person clad in his henchman suit but from the groan, Ling Yao finally knew his enemy was a man.

He sneered, straightening his back and beat the s.h.i.+t out of his enemy with both hands alternately. The man blocked some Ling Yao's fist while other hit him pretty hard, he eventually smacked the incoming fist away then lashed out a revenge strike toward Ling Yao's face. The man rolled back as soon as he free and stood on his feet.

Cerulean eyes and purple eyes stared against each other.

They readied their stance then walked closer, The man swung his fist and Ling Yao bent his body to dodge it then uppercut the man but missed his target. They exchanged punch and kick for several engagements, either both get deck or miss.

Finally, the man caught Ling Yao's arm and he did the same, with 4 hands restraint and after little dance with their legs, the gents used the last capable part of their body and bashed their forehead. The man stumbled backward, he still on his feet but the way he retreated seems wobbly, Ling Yao smirked in confident, he pranced forward. He swung his hand toward the man's face, swayed his body to the side and dodged an incoming attack, he hit the man's back waist, decked the man's tummy with his forearm, and uppercut his chin.

The man fell backward but one leg managed to put it in to stop, Ling Yao crouched then hooked punched his left knee, making the man knelt. In a swift movement, Ling Yao pulled back his left fist, as if charging his power, his hand s.h.i.+vered a while before propelled it forward akin a missile strike.

The attack hit the man's face and trashed his body away, destroying several items of furniture behind him and knocked him out in the instant.

Ling Yao took a deep breath, he fixed his posture, "you are a very good combatant."

He crouched beside the unconscious man, "your skill is almost flawless, but sadly..."

He smirked, "in term of hardness, you'll never beat, the ultimate s.h.i.+eld..."
