Chapter 190

Seeing Wei Jun quiet, Mark Wilson knew what Wei Jun intended. He smiled and said, “Using my trick on me, huh? Well,” He stood up and pocketed both things before he said, “What can I do about it except for repaying you?”

Mark Wilson said before he turned around and left, “Let’s meet in two days.”

As for Wei Jun, he was left to contemplate many things. To say he was curious about Mark Wilson’s situation, would be a completely wrong sentence.

He didn’t care for the person Mark Wilson was trying to save. If he or she were to die, as long as Mark Wilson still worked with him, he would be content.

As for why he was so eager to find the evil cultivators. Well, that was because of one simple reason.

[You have defeated an opponent with the power of darkness]

[You have obtained stats]

[Strength: 2]

[Agility: 5]

[Stamina: 4]

[Defense: 2]

[Death Qi: 7]

Killing an evil cultivator didn’t earn him yang Qi but death Qi instead along with physical stats.

The cultivator he killed was in the [Qi empowerment realm], just like him and the number of stats he obtained from him was very low. However, what he desired most was the death Qi and if killing evil cultivators could earn him that, he would gladly do so.

His problem of death Qi and the plot was now taken care of. All he needed to do now was to destroy Shao Chen’s life. And that task was a hundred times more easier than the last task on his list.

His conversation with Xia Lu.

But he pushed that forward for a now. For now, he needed to deal with the pending situation at hand. And that was to deal with the Shao Chen and get this farce over with.

[Are you sure?]

[It has only been three weeks since the start of this novel]

[Many opportunities haven’t shown up yet]

[More opportunities mean more levels]

‘It’s fine.’ Wei Jun said. It wasn’t that he didn’t know that himself but even if he did, what did it matter?

He wanted to get this all over with. There was nothing he could gain from Shao Chen and as long as his life was destroyed and Wei Jun killed him, it was all done and over with.

“A meeting so soon after your release?” Yue Peng asked while she and Wei Jun sat outside a café, discussing business.

“I simply asked for files. You didn’t have to come personally.” Wei Jun said.

“Well, I have to make sure my partner isn’t dissatisfied.” Yue Peng replied before she asked “But out in the open like this?”

“With how cautious you are by being in an enclosed space with me, I thought you would feel safer like this.” Wei Jun said while keeping his gaze on the file.

Yue Peng blushed in embarrassment. She didn’t mean to offend Wei Jun but it was true that she was edge being in a private place with him.

Still, she thought she should explain herself, or more like defend herself by denying Wei Jun’s claim for which she began to say, “It’s not like that. I-”

But before she could properly begin Wei Jun interrupted her, “I don’t care what you think or what you think I think. All I care about is our business and from the looks of it, there are some problems in it.”

“Problems?” Yue Peng asked, hiding the embarrassment of being dismissed like that.

“Yes.” Wei Jun said but before he could explain himself, a loud exclamation was heard from their left.

“YOU!!!” When they both turned to look in the direction of the owner of the voice, they saw a scantily dressed woman making her way to them.

Yue Peng’s gaze went to Wei Jun straight because that was the impression she had of him. However, before any of them could process the situation any further, the woman came close to Yue Peng and slapped the person standing behind Yue Peng.

Shao Chen, Yue Peng’s guard who was standing behind her for a while now, getting angry at Wei Jun’s haughty behavior, was caught off guard by that slap.

Slap!!!

A crisp voice of the slap spread in the surroundings and before anyone could react to what was going on, the woman said, “Pay me now!”

‘What?’ Shao Chen was dumbfounded. He didn’t know what was going on nor could he understand what was going on.

“I thought I would never find you but to my luck here you are. Pay me for my services right now or my brothers will be looking for you soon.” The woman angrily said.

“Wh-what do you mean? Who are you?” Shao Chen confusedly asked.

“Oh, so you don’t even remember me right now, huh? I am the same woman who you paid last night to call you ‘Sugerbun’ the whole night.” The woman said in a haughty manner.

Wei Jun chuckled at the word ‘Sugarbun’ and Shao Chen turned to look at him in anger.

“What is happening, Mister Chen?” Yue Peng didn’t know what was happening but she at least knew that her employee was creating a scene and that scene was being made in front of Wei Jun, her business partner.

This was beyond embarrassing for her.

“I will tell you what happened. This man here hired me for a night. When it came time for the payment, he went to the bathroom and then snuck out of the bathroom window. Without paying me!” The woman recounted the sad tale from last night which made Shao Chen more and more confused but also more and more shocked and angry.

“I was fortunate to have pulled his card out of his wallet when I went to take a shower in the bathroom, where his clothes were. That was how I was able to find him.” The woman said while showing Shao Chen’s business card to Yue Peng.

“What nonsense!” Shao Chen yelled.

But the woman didn’t give him a chance to defend himself when she started to yell, “I don’t care! Give me my money along with compensation!”

When Yue Peng saw that this incident was capturing the attention of everyone on the street. Whereas Wei Jun was also looking at her with a ‘Are you serious?’ gaze.

She became red with embarrassment before she stood up and pulled out all the money in her wallet and gave it to the woman. As she did so, she said, “This should be enough, right? Now please leave.”

The woman counted the money with a smile before she said, “You’re a smart lady, aren’t you?”

The woman didn’t say anything else and left. Yue Peng, in her anger, turned to Shao Chen and was about to yell at him when Wei Jun said, “I don’t think it would be wise to create any more scene here.”

Yue Peng held herself back and sat back down when she calmly said, “Please forget about this incident. I will fire him as soon as I get back.”

Shao Chen became unsettled when he heard that. That would destroy all of his plans and he hadn’t even begun properly yet.

Wei Jun waved his hand and said, “I don’t care about him. What I do care about are the people who are ruining my slash our business.”

“What do you mean?” Yue Peng asked.

Wei Jun took a file out of his briefcase and slid it across the table towards Yue Peng and said, “I’m talking about these people.”

When she picked up the file, she began to read the names on it. One of the names belonged to none other than her own secretary.

When Yue Peng fully read the file, she found evidence of embezzlement. The Shi family’s interference and many more reports regarding losses which cost her company a substantial amount of money all these years.

Her hand began to tremble as she clutched the file in anger.

Seeing her like that, Wei Jun continued, “I don’t know what it was like before me and quite frankly, I don’t care. But now that I am here, I wouldn’t allow any more losses. Please deal with these people or I will do so myself.”

“I will deal with them by tomorrow morning.” Yue Peng said in a trembling voice. Her anger was too much for her to be able to keep it in.

She looked at Wei Jun and said, “But I would appreciate it if you could deal with another problem of mine.”

Wei Jun didn’t need to be told what problem so he stood up and said, “Wait for the good news then, partner.”

Wei Jun then moved to Shao Chen and said with a smile while patting his shoulder, “Pay the hard-working woman next time. It’s not nice to run away like that.”

Shao Chen gritted his teeth at that remark but he wasn’t in a position to further act out on his own. He swallowed his words and remained quiet while he also trembled in anger just like Yue Peng.

Wei Jun smiled and left the place. After all, for him, there was still a lot of work left.
