The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

Zhu Chen sneered. "You resort to murder when your skills are inferior, and the only things you've learned are crooked, evil arts. Do you even deserve to be called a Feng Shui Master?"

"Finish him. A man so full of evil doesn't deserve to live. But before you kill him, we'd better investigate and find out if he's done this to anyone else."

"Those victims shouldn't have to lie buried in the earth forever."

The incident caused quite a stir.

Basically, everyone in the upper echelons of the Imperial City knew about the assassination attempt on Xiao Ye and Zhu Chen.

When the people from the bar returned home, their parents finally learned what had happened, and every last one of them went weak in the knees with fear.

Compared to the Xiao Family, they weren't even children. They were ants standing before an elephant!

They quickly gathered their families. Some tried to find a way to apologize to the Xiao Family, while others simply fled, not even daring to remain in the Imperial City.

They were terrified that the Xiao and Zhu families might remember them one day and decide to take action.

All it would take was the lift of a single finger for them to go bankrupt.

However, those who went to apologize couldn't even get through the gate. They could only stand at the entrance to the Xiao Family's old estate.

"We were wrong! I brought my son here to apologize! Please, Patriarch Xiao, be magnanimous and forgive this worthless son of mine!"

But no matter how much they shouted, no one paid them any attention.

This was the Xiao Family's territory. How could they not know what was happening at their gate? The only possibility was that they would not forgive.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Ye didn't come out personally, he could have at least sent a bodyguard to say a few words.

The man looked at his good-for-nothing son. Seeing no other way, he gritted his teeth and broke the boy's leg on the spot.

"Patriarch Xiao, we truly know we were wrong!"

"Since you won't forgive us, this is the only way I can beg for your forgiveness!"

Naturally, there was still no response from the Xiao Family.

But by evening, the Xiao Family released a unified statement.

Spectators would be spared, but anyone who had been involved could go home and wait for bankruptcy.

「In a certain villa.」

The man who had been blinded was in a rage. "Get out! All of you, get out!"

He couldn't understand. He had just gone to a bar for one night, so how did he end up blind?

'It's all that Xiao Ye and Zhu Chen's fault! If it weren't for them, my eyes wouldn't be blind!'

'I was just an innocent bystander who got caught up in it all!'

He was just a spoiled rich kid who had no idea who Xiao Ye and Zhu Chen were. His status wasn't high enough to qualify him for that knowledge.

He couldn't stop himself from cursing aloud, "Xiao Ye and Zhu Chen, is it? You just wait! Sooner or later, I'm going to kill you both!"

His father, who had just learned that their family was going bankrupt and was about to confront his son, became utterly furious when he heard this!

He grabbed a nearby golf club and swung it wildly.

"How did I end up with a scourge like you for a son! You've completely ruined our family!"

"Our family is going bankrupt, and you still dare to stand here cursing them? I think you're trying to get us all killed!"

"You beast! I should just beat you to death!"

After taking a few blows, the young man suddenly fell to the floor and stopped moving.

His father thought he was faking it and struck him again. "You worthless piece of trash! I don't expect you to save the family business, but you could at least not cause such massive trouble!"

A moment later, he finally sensed that something was wrong and quickly crouched down.

He saw that his son, lying face down on the floor, was bleeding from his nose and mouth, his eyes wide and vacant. He was clearly dead.

That last blow had landed right on his son's heart. He had swung with too much force and killed him instantly!

He collapsed onto the floor, his butt hitting the ground hard. 'I just wanted to vent my anger… how did I actually kill him?'

「On the other side.」

General He sent over the interrogation video of the Feng Shui Master.

Xiao Ye watched it once, raising an eyebrow slightly.

This Feng Shui Master had been with the Angel Association for a long time. He had started out as a minor Feng Shui Master in the Dragon Country, and hardly anyone believed in his abilities.

However, he knew he was genuinely skilled, so he simply went abroad, hoping to find a new path for himself.

Unexpectedly, he caught a break. Someone discovered his abilities, and soon after, the Angel Association recruited him.

Over the years, he had done an untold amount of dirty work for the Angel Association.

Every successful mission earned him points. Once he accumulated enough points, he could be promoted to the upper echelons.

But he was just one step away from his goal when Zhu Chen ruined everything.

The Feng Shui Master wasn't a hard man to break. He spilled everything he knew.

This included the locations of several underground warehouses.

The Feng Shui Master hadn't known they were warehouses. The Angel Association had just given him some locations and asked him to assess their feng shui.

But from their requirements, it was obvious they intended to hide something there.

They even had him set up some simple formations to confuse anyone who might accidentally stumble upon the locations.

Xiao Ye stood up and stretched his body.

Since that was the case, he would have to handle this himself.

General He, of course, offered his full cooperation. He dispatched Xiao Ye's body double, then arranged a secret flight to send the real Xiao Ye to Country A.

Xiao Ye was now wearing a human-skin mask, making him look like a completely different person.

Even so, he didn't act ostentatiously. Instead, he put on a pair of sunglasses and found a moderately priced hotel.

He had been inside for only a short while before he found several pinhole cameras.

Xiao Ye casually tossed them into the toilet and took out his phone.

Based on the intel he had compiled, one location was the most likely site of an underground warehouse. It also happened to match the information sent by the person he had planted inside the Angel Association.

'I'll start with this place, then. But I can't do it alone.'

The Angel Association understood the principle of hiding in plain sight, so the warehouse was, paradoxically, unguarded.

However, all of its internal security systems, including the entrance, used state-of-the-art technology.

The systems were inspected and replaced annually, making it extremely difficult to get inside without triggering an alarm.

But as the saying goes, anything high-tech will have a loophole.

To ensure success on the first try, Xiao Ye had gathered quite a team.

Among them were one of the world's top-three hackers, a master of the Bone Shrinking Skill, a demolitions expert, a steel-cutting specialist, and even a conveyor belt expert.

Because this time, he wasn't just planning to get in—he was going to empty the place completely!

「Three days later.」

The entire team had assembled. Xiao Ye had also scouted the vicinity and confirmed the precise location.

Under the cover of night, the group set out.

When they reached the designated spot, the detector beeped as expected.

There was metal below, and an open space.

Xiao Ye crouched down. "Based on my understanding of feng shui and the instrument readings, this is where we need to dig."

"Start digging here. After about two meters, you'll reach a steel plate. Be extremely careful then. Don't touch it, or you'll trigger the alarm!"
