The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

"As for cultivating to a higher realm, if you could achieve it just by indulging yourselves like this, then your Western heaven would have been full long ago!"

Uriel's face turned livid. "Shut your mouth!"

"You are forbidden from insulting the principles of the Angel Association! We don't suppress our true nature; we encourage you to be yourselves!"

"Besides, this isn't up for debate! If you don't do it, you won't just be barred from future gatherings—you'll also face the distrust of the Angel Association!"

"Think carefully about whether it's worth it! And what's the downside for you? They have amazing bodies, and they're clones of famous stars."

"They're all clean—the kind of top-shelf quality you couldn't find if you searched high and low!"

'Clones. Top-shelf quality.'

They didn't see clones as people at all, but as commodities, as playthings.

The reason the international community prohibited the creation of clones was precisely because their status could not be defined.

Should they be treated as human? But they were aberrations.

To not treat them as human was simply too cruel.

Xiao Ye's answer was the same. "Impossible. I won't do it."

Zhu Chen nodded. "I'm certainly not doing it either!"

He was a Daoist cultivator. Even if the founding masters hadn't explicitly forbidden this kind of thing, he was, at his core, a very conservative man.

He would only be with his future wife; he would absolutely not sleep around before marriage!

Uriel sneered. "If you refuse, then your initiation ceremony is also canceled!"

"You will not be considered members of the Angel Association! Not until you are willing to comply!"

'It wasn't like he hadn't seen this before. Didn't they always give in obediently in the end?'

'Because once they were no longer considered members of the Angel Association, they naturally wouldn't be given the antidote.'

Xiao Ye understood the Angel Association's plan. 'They want to record this.'

'This is another way to get leverage over us.'

'And this won't be the only one. There will surely be others later.'

As they spoke, a woman wrapped her arms around Xiao Ye's waist from behind and spoke in a delicate voice, "Don't you like me?"

"I'm a very famous singer from Country A. You will be my first man. I can sing for you."

But Xiao Ye had no desire to listen.

He grabbed the woman's wrist, intending to push her away.

But that one grab was enough to reveal a problem.

'This woman's body... there's something inside it!'

'It must be some kind of virus, one that can be transmitted sexually.'

'If I did anything with her, I would definitely be infected!'

'Looks like it wasn't just about the recording. They were planning to set up a double insurance policy tonight.'

Xiao Ye shoved the woman away and looked at Uriel, who was still blocking the door.

"Get out of the way! This is the last time I'm telling you!"

Uriel scoffed, "I won't move. These are the rules. You must follow them!"

Xiao Ye walked right up to him and sent him flying with a kick!

SLAM!

Uriel's back slammed heavily against the wall.

The noise startled the others.

They covered their mouths in disbelief. Someone actually dared to lay a hand on Uriel!

Uriel was an Angel Leader, one of the eight, and was definitely considered a high-ranking figure in the Angel Association.

Although he only managed personnel and wasn't like the true top brass, he was still respected by the members.

"You... you actually dared to hit me!" Uriel was in disbelief, in too much pain to move.

'How many years had it been? No one had ever dared to treat him like this. Xiao Ye was the first, and he would definitely be the last!'

Xiao Ye walked over and looked down on him. "Uriel, when I respect you, you are the Angel Leader in my eyes."

"If I don't respect you, you're not worth shit. Got it?"

"Xiao Ye! Do you think this is your Dragon Country?" Uriel finally staggered to his feet.

He gritted his teeth. "You may be a somebody in Dragon Country, but in Country A, you're a nobody! Men! Pin him down!"

"Today, I'm going to teach him his place!"

Xiao Ye's lips curled into a smirk as he watched the subordinates rushing over.

They were all dressed in identical black clothes, wearing identical masks.

"Uriel, if you dare lay a single finger on me today..."

"Then tomorrow, the Angel Association's activities will be exposed in Dragon Country. For the next few decades, you can forget about ever entering Dragon Country again!"

"Until the day I die, you will be permanently blocked from our borders!"

"Oh, and one more thing. I will immediately destroy your laboratory in Dragon Country. Don't forget, it was my Xiao Family that provided it!"

"I will also release all your experimental results. After all, once I'm back in Dragon Country, what can you possibly do to me?"

Among all the countries the Angel Association had infiltrated, Dragon Country was the most difficult, and also the strictest.

They had spent decades before finally finding the Ouyang Family.

If they were exposed now, attracting Dragon Country's attention and facing ostracism from the Xiao Family, they could truly forget about ever getting in!

But they had to get into Dragon Country, because it was no longer the small nation of the past that could be bullied at will!

Only by swallowing Dragon Country could the Angel Association achieve true world domination.

Otherwise... Dragon Country would become their greatest enemy!

The Angel Association knew Dragon Country's history, so they never dared to underestimate the nation!

"You... you're threatening me!" Uriel was furious!

'Getting hit was one thing, but now he couldn't even fight back? Could anything be more infuriating?'

Rage nearly shattered his reason. "Get him! Beat him half to death!"

"Stop! Uriel, you can't be rash."

Just then, a voice called out.

A man wearing a rat mask walked out.

Uriel looked at him, panting heavily. "What do you mean? Didn't you see what he did to me? I just told him to follow the rules, and he dared to attack me!"

"A man like this is a ticking time bomb! He could never genuinely work for the Angel Association!"

'He won't even follow a single rule. He's absolutely unfit!'

But the man in the rat mask just shook his head. "Uriel, you've lost your senses. You're just spouting nonsense now."

"Alright, you should go first."

With that said, he looked at Xiao Ye. "You two can leave as well. Go back and wait for our notice."

Xiao Ye now had a rough understanding of this place. 'And after this incident, trying to dig up more information probably won't be so simple.'

So, he and Zhu Chen left without hesitation.

When they reached the exit, a car was already waiting.

By the time they returned to their residence, it was the middle of the night.

Zhu Chen let out a long sigh. If it weren't for the surveillance cameras in the room, he really would have wanted to complain a bit.

After the two of them freshened up, they went to their separate rooms to sleep.

「By the time he woke again, it was noon the next day.」

Xiao Ye went to the dining room, ready to eat breakfast, when he saw a stranger sitting in the living room.

He paid the man no mind. "Bring out my breakfast."

The housekeeper stood by respectfully but didn't move. "Mr. Xiao, this gentleman has been waiting for you for a long time."
