After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1000 - 997: Demon Lord of Mayhem

Ye Xiao quickly cleared his throat and stepped forward to joke, "Hey, boss, we’ve been drifting on the sea all day and night. Aren’t you going to treat us and reward us?"Bi Xia glanced at Ye Xiao but didn’t expose his little scheme. He simply nodded and said, "Don’t worry about it. I’ve already arranged a place for us to stay. Once the handover is complete, you’ll get a good night’s sleep, and tonight I’ll take you out for a meal. My treat."

"Boss, boss! I want to sing!!!" one person shouted with his hand raised.

Du Zizun looked toward the voice and saw it was Lin Qi from his team. He glared at Lin Qi, "Lin Qi, we’re still on duty. Singing would make the boss spend extra—let’s wait until we get back, and I’ll treat you guys instead. Don’t trouble the boss."

Listening to Du Zizun, Lin Qi paused, then looked at Du Zizun with surprise, speaking straightforwardly, "Boss, did you just say that? Is the sky falling from the west?"

Du Zizun’s face darkened as he lifted his foot to kick toward Lin Qi. But Lin Qi, being the mischievous type, darted behind Du Han, "Hahaha, I’ve found my backup... ouch!"

With a cold smile, Du Zizun drew back his foot and tilted his chin, "You think hiding behind my dad keeps you safe?"

Bi Xia chuckled and patted Du Zizun on the shoulder, "Don’t worry, take your time to rest tonight. Do whatever you want, and I’ll cover the costs for this trip."

Before everyone could cheer, Bi Xia changed his tone, "But... you must guarantee your safety. No wandering off alone, because this isn’t our turf, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Long live the boss!!!"

Du Han laughed as he looked at the cheering young men and shook his head helplessly. Sharing a glance with Mr. Wang, who was about his age, he said to Bi Xia, "Ninth Young Master, don’t spoil them too much, or they’ll develop bad habits."

"It’s fine," Bi Xia smiled, "Mr. Wang, you and your team should join them for tonight’s outing. It’s a great chance to strengthen relationships and show these young ones your prowess."

"Hey," Lin Qi had heard Ye Xiao talking about Bi Xia’s heroics and admired Bi Xia as much as Du Zizun. He jumped next to Bi Xia, smiling, "Hey, boss, don’t underestimate us. We can handle waves stronger than the last and leave these old-timers stranded on the beach."

Mr. Wang and his team burst out laughing at Lin Qi’s words, pretending to roll up imaginary sleeves, "You rascal, we’ll show you some things tonight!"

Lin Qi chuckled, pointing at Bi Xia, "Speaking of youngsters, our boss here is the youngest. We’ve all reached adulthood, but boss, Chi, and Xiao are still minors. Boss might even be the youngest of all."

Listening to Lin Qi, Bi Xia smiled and wrapped his arms around Meng Chi and Ye Xiao’s shoulders, "Which is why we’ve washed you up on the beach."

Lin Qi: ... That’s a critical hit...

"Hahahahaha!!!" Du Han laughed loudly, "You little rascal, embarrassed now, aren’t you?"

Du Zizun covered his face in exasperation, "This person isn’t part of my team; I don’t know him."

Lin Qi: ...

Rolling his eyes just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of cars approaching. Two trucks appeared in view, followed by a black sedan. Xia Nian got out from the back of the sedan and looked at Bi Xia first before walking up front, "Sorry to keep you waiting, our transport is ready."

Bi Xia smiled gently, "Not at all. I thought you weren’t coming back."

Xia Nian: ...

"Let me introduce," Bi Xia raised his hand towards Du Han, "This is Du Han, Captain Du, in charge of transportation for our X Security Company. These are Mr. Wang and Mr. Du."

As he spoke, he introduced Xia Nian to the three, "This is Xia Shi... Oh, no, Vice President Xia Nian of Shixia Trading Company. Their president tends to keep a low profile, so he might not make an appearance."

When Bi Xia mentioned Xia Shi’s name, Xia Nian nearly broke out in cold sweat, but seeing Bi Xia’s indifferent expression, it seemed like a genuine slip of the tongue. When he heard Bi Xia’s description of Xia Jingshen, Xia Nian was certain Bi Xia did it intentionally. Seeing Bi Xia’s earnest manner, Xia Nian smiled wryly—truly a Demon Lord of Mayhem.
