I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: A little info!
Floating in the air near the clouds, Zhao Tian squinted his eyes grabbing Luo Bo’s neck in his grasp.

“H-Huh? HUHHH??!!!” Luo Bo let out a shrill cry of disbelief, his voice quivering with fear as he desperately shook his legs and looked down, his eyes trembling in dread sending a shiver of terror down his spine. He is so fucking high in the air.

As he lifted his gaze to meet the icy stare of Zhao Tian, his lips quivered in utter shock “Y-Your cultivation is above Heaven Astral Stage?” he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. Only the people in the Heaven Astral Stage and above can fly.

Luo Bo’s heart sank, he never knew there was a powerhouse residing with the normal humans. Aren’t all the powerful people residing in the Zhenzhu?

“Tell me why you are after the Chi company allying with Chi Jin?” Zhao Tian asked in an indifferent tone. “Haah!” Luo Bo, still catching his breath, exhaled heavily in response, his heart still gripped by a lingering sense of fear.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll kill you.” Zhao Tian said tightening his grip on Luo Bo’s neck. “Urghh!” Luo Bo squirmed in pain feeling the tight grip “Y-You are gonna kill me even if I say, right?”

Zhao Tian nodded as it was obvious “Of course. I am not foolish enough to let my enemies go.” Luo Bo knows the cultivation world better, weaker ones always get trampled under the stronger ones.

“Haha!” Luo Bo laughed mockingly “Then I won’t say anything about my sect. I am gonna die anyways.”

A small smile appeared on Zhao Tian’s lips “Really?” Seeing his smile, Luo Bo frowned “What are you smiling about?”

Zhao Tian spoke still keeping a faint smile “If you tell the truth, I will kill you instantly, a peaceful death. If you didn’t… I’ll torture you every day by slowly ripping off your fingers, then your limbs, and then… I’ll use high-level healing pills to regenerate your limbs and I’ll do the same again.”

H-H-Huh? Luo Bo’s body petrified in shock just hearing about the torture from Zhao Tian’s mouth and seeing his serious eyes Luo Bo was terrified. H-He is not joking!

So he decided to tell the truth “W-We are an evil sect, who kills peoples and are not under the recognition or allied with the world government.”

“And we currently ran out of money in our sect and we don’t have good relationships with any great families in the world. Meanwhile, many prominent sects in Zhenzhu have connections with great families providing them protection.”

“S-So we can’t target those great families, so we narrowed our target to companies like Chi company and we allied with Chi Jin for the shares in the company. With that much money, our Sect can live for many years.”

Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow “So your Sect is within the Zhenzhu?” Huh? Luo Bo was confused “What are you talking about, those Sects will kill us if they see us evil sects… we are hiding on the outskirts of Zhenzhu.”

“Is that so?” Zhao Tian’s words slipped out in a barely audible whisper, leaving Luo Bo utterly bewildered. Zhao Tian is a cultivator above Heaven Astral Stage and he doesn’t know about this basic stuff?

“What do you know about this Zhenzhu?” Zhao Tian asked curiously, wanting to know more. “Why are you aski-urrghhhh” he grunted in pain as Zhao Tian clutched even tighter.

“Just answer my question.” A cold voice left Zhao Tian’s lips.

“Y-Yes, Yes…” Luo Bo, writhing in agony, vigorously nodded his head as he spoke. “Z-Zhenzhu is ruled by the royal family with some major Sects directly under them and many minor sects.”

“A-As a disciple of the Elder in our Sect, we are not taught much about the Zhenzhu and what lies inside it. This is all I know.”

Zhao Tian narrowed his eyes and Luo Bo felt his body being pressured. “Arghhh!!! W-WHY?” “Is that all you know?”

“*cough* Y-Yeah, that’s all I k-know.”

Zhao Tian sighed in his heart, well what did he expect from a disciple of a third-rated evil sect?

“Just die.” Zhao Tian let go of his neck and released his cultivation pressure, crushing Luo Bo’s body into the forest below blasting his body into pieces.

“Let’s return for now!” *woosh*

…

Zhao Tian quickly flew his way back to Chi Miya’s office at the company, seamlessly entering through the balcony to reach her workspace.

Chi Miya, who was seated at her desk, was taken aback when Zhao Tian unexpectedly walked into her office. “Tian?” she exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Tian approached Chi Miya and took a seat in front of her at the table. “So, is it all over?” In response, Chi Miya let out a heavy sigh, “The police are still on the ground floor arresting the shareholders and also some employees associated with them. This has become a huge headache for me.”

Zhao Tian chuckled faintly “If I was you, I would just sell the company… You are already rich so you are not short of money. And you just lost a lot of shareholders, it will be very hard to maintain from now on.”

Eh? Chi Miya looked at him dumbfounded. “How can I let it go? This is my Father’s company…” Zhao Tian just shrugged “Then you have to work harder.”

Chi Miya sighed wearily, her mind suddenly recalling something important “Tian… I have your mobile.” she mentioned, reaching into a nearby drawer and retrieving the mobile out of it.

“You placed it on the table for everyone to hear the voice note and then you shattered the table. I just found it in the debris.”

“Oh!” Zhao Tian took the phone from her hand and noticed there were two missed calls from Zhao Ying. Chi Miya frowned “I saw someone calling…”

With a nod, Zhao Tian got down from the table calling back Zhao Ying.

*ring* ‘Tian’er, where are you?’ he heard her lazy voice.

“At Miya’s company right now.”

‘Oh, it is very boring to watch TV without you… come home quicker.”

Zhao Tian chuckled “Ok, I’ll be back now.”

Zhao Tian glanced over his shoulder at Chi Miya “Miya, I am leaving.” Chi Miya’s heart shook seeing him leaving after calling his girlfriend “Tian!” she hurriedly called him.

Hm? Zhao Tian stopped and turned his head “Miya?” *cough* A faint cough escaped her lips as she mustered the courage to inquire “The number is saved as Babe. Is that your g-girlfriend?” she wanted to confirm whether it was really his girl or not.

As soon as she asked the question, a surge of anxiety coursed through her, her heart beating rapidly as she anxiously awaited his response.

Zhao Tian gave a nod “Yeah, she is.” Chi Miya’s eyes teetered with emotion as she tried to muster a forced smile “I see…” masking the hurt she felt in her heart as she saw Zhao Tian leaving her office.

After he left, she fell on the table “Urgh! This sucks!” a frustrated whisper escaped her lips. Who is his girlfriend? Is she prettier than me? Maybe younger than me? Big breasts than me? Haah!

The thoughts swirled in her head, leaving her feeling disheartened and insecure.

…

When Zhao Tian came downstairs, his eyes fell upon the scene of police officers herding the shareholders into waiting police cars. However, amidst the chaos, a familiar face caught his attention, causing a smile to slowly spread across his lips.

He approached the woman in the midst of the bustling crowd, reaching out to gently grasp her hand and effectively removing her from the chaotic scene that was swarmed with police officers.

Zhao Tian smiled looking at the surprised woman in front of him, “Long time no see…” His eyes glanced at the badge on her chest, “Cai? Is that your last name?”

“You handsome guy!” The woman exclaimed looking at Zhao Tian and her eyes shifted downwards, noticing that Zhao Tian was still gripping her hand. “Let me go or I’ll push you into prison for sexual harassment,” she spoke narrowing her eyes.

Zhao Tian playfully taunted, releasing his grip on her hand and smoothly wrapping his arm around her waist. “You will do that?” he quipped, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “I still have a kiss I have to give you.” gently lifting her chin with his finger.

“N-No!” That woman shook her head pushing away his hand from his chin “You first teased me, but now you are retorting when I tease you back?” Zhao Tian asked with a chuckle.

The woman sighed “I am sorry for teasing you. I thought you were a serious person and you would just brush it off. Who knows you were a bastard.”

“Bastard?” Zhao Tian pinched her lips with his fingers “It’s not nice to call someone like that? Seems like I have to punish these lips.”

“Hnngh!” The woman let out a frustrated groan as she attempted to break away from Zhao Tian’s grasp on her lips, but he continued to playfully tease her, refusing to let her escape.

“Miss Cai!” At this time, another policewoman came looking for her friend, and when she saw her friend being hugged by a handsome man and him pinching her lips, caught the policewoman completely off guard.

The female police officer quickly averted her eyes and sheepishly apologized “I-I am sorry for interrupting your kiss.”

The woman pulled back from Zhao Tian’s embrace and walked near to the policewoman. The policewoman asked “Miss Cai, I didn’t know you had such a hot boyfriend.. he even came to see you in between your work.”

The woman turned her head to look at Zhao Tian and saw him teasingly smiling at her. Seeing this, her lips twitched “Bastard!”

Zhao Tian’s smile disappeared as a frown appeared on his face “It’s quite weird.” he muttered, his gaze fixed on the woman he had playfully teased just moments before.

“Well, I’ll just go and see Ying’er!”
