Everyone entered the conference room one by one.
Compared to the extravagantly luxurious Black Dragon’s office, this place could practically be called simplified to the extreme.
A long table that could seat ten people, a small platform for brewing tea, and a multimedia setup.
Aside from that, there was nothing else—not even windows or lights to be found.
“BOSS, this place is a bit too…”
Li Chi looked at the empty conference hall, somewhat at a loss for words.
“Money should be used in the right places. For areas that aren’t used often, it’s reasonable to invest less.”
“But, without lights here, how…”
“What’s illumination magic for?”
Black Dragon looked at Li Chi’s dark red compound eyes as if he were an idiot.
“…But, your office—”
“Let’s begin. Today’s discussion is centered on tomorrow’s operation against the magical girls.”
Li Chi hadn’t finished speaking when Black Dragon interrupted him at a rapid pace.
“But…”
“Dark Fang.”
Black Dragon’s gaze didn’t turn toward Li Chi as he said word by word, “During meetings, don’t discuss those irrelevant trivial matters, okay?”
“…”
You might not believe it, but just now, when BOSS was speaking, I sensed a hint of killing intent in his tone.
If I keep asking, I might really die, so I have to stay quiet now and pretend I know nothing.
Seeing Li Chi obediently lower his head, Black Dragon nodded in satisfaction.
“A promising young one.”
“…”
This was the first time Li Chi had witnessed the treachery of society in this world.
As expected of an evil organization—they could do such wicked things.
Whatever, as long as they don’t dock my pay. Speaking of which, when will the bonus be issued?
Li Chi listened to the gist of the meeting content. Specifically, it was about assigning which executive would lead tomorrow’s operation.
During the discussion, he didn’t participate, and his thoughts gradually drifted far away.
Since Dark Fang was a newcomer and didn’t understand anything, Black Dragon tacitly allowed his slacking off.
The young Vivian similarly didn’t join the subsequent discussion.
She was at her daddy’s side, enjoying her exquisite afternoon tea.
Two pieces of delicate chocolate cake and a steaming cup of cappuccino.
Seeing the newcomer Dark Fang also slacking off, Vivian glanced at her father, then thoughtfully shared one of her cakes with him.
Li Chi looked somewhat surprised at that plate of delicate chocolate cake, then saw Vivian at the other end of the conference table giving him a friendly smile.
Seeing that the others didn’t say anything, he accepted it without refusal and began to enjoy the cake.
However, Li Chi didn’t notice that as he prepared to eat the cake, the voices of the people talking in the conference room gradually began to quiet down.
Black Dragon, White Lion, Lina, and Vivian all surreptitiously glanced toward Li Chi in unison.
The reason was simple: Although they knew the newcomer Dark Fang was actually a human, they only knew he was human. Beyond that, they knew nothing about his identity.
Maybe at this moment, he would remove the mask on his head—after all, he couldn’t eat cake while wearing a mask.
Li Chi held the cake in a daze, lost in thought about something.
Then, his mask vibrated slightly, showing faint signs of cracking open.
Is it coming? Is Dark Fang going to remove his mask?
The four thought as much.
In the next second, the red compound eyes suddenly lit up.
The lower half of Dark Fang’s mask seemed to be slowly opening.
It’s here, it’s here! Finally! Let me get a good look at who you really are… wait!
The faces of the group suddenly filled with horror.
By the time they wanted to close their eyes, it was already too late.
A massive, bloody maw slowly opened from Omega’s face.
A row of razor-sharp teeth reflected an eerie gleam, with strands of bloody flesh still stuck between the gaps.
A blood-red long tongue lay quietly in that crimson mouth.
White Lion, who was closest to Dark Fang, could even see a wriggling piece of unidentified meat still in his teeth crevices—that was an anti-human’s. He had taken down another one without anyone noticing and even eaten it (he had accidentally discovered that consuming high-tier monsters or anti-humans could boost his strength, though the increase was small, but even a mosquito is still meat).
Then, he tossed the cake straight into his mouth and began chewing.
Such a sanity-dropping scene left everyone in silence for a moment.
No one expected a simple probe to end in this way.
Chomp chomp chomp…
Drip!
A drop of liquid fell by White Lion’s feet. He thought it was saliva and was about to look down to wipe it when he saw a patch of blood red staining his pristine white sneakers.
“…”
Truth be told, White Lion felt a bit of lingering fear.
The day he encountered Dark Fang, he happened not to have his sword. If he had, he definitely could have gone toe-to-toe with him, but without the sword, White Lion only had ordinary high-level executive strength.
He could handle regular magical girls, but against a mutated Omega, it wasn’t enough.
If they had really fought and couldn’t resolve it back then, he probably would have had his head gnawed off by this guy…
White Lion subconsciously compared the size of Dark Fang’s mouth—it was just big enough to fit a White Lion head.
Imagining his head peacefully lying in that bloody maw, White Lion felt a chill run over his body.
Lina had long been stunned by this scene. As a legal resident of the Utopia world, she probably wouldn’t see a single drop of blood in her lifetime (Utopia’s illegal residents? Naturally, the anti-humans).
“Um… Dark Fang…” Black Dragon was the first to break the sudden silence.
“What’s up?”
Li Chi swallowed the cake in his mouth, looking at everyone in confusion, wondering why it had suddenly gone quiet here.
“Er…” Even Black Dragon, who had seen many big scenes, almost couldn’t hold it together.
Truth be told, he somewhat regretted his earlier hint to Vivian—who knew this guy’s way of eating was so sanity-dropping!
But Black Dragon was Black Dragon; as the leader of the dark organization, he quickly adjusted his state. “Eat quietly when eating.”
“Oh, oh, okay!”
Realizing his earlier behavior seemed a bit impolite, Li Chi scratched his head awkwardly.
Black Dragon glanced at his beloved daughter, only to see Vivian’s face pale, her hands covering her eyes, her mouth muttering something.
The “Prayer Nun” was emanating a faint green light—it seemed that scene had quite an impact on the little girl.
Heh heh, you really think I don’t understand anything? You really take me for an ordinary high schooler who hasn’t seen the treachery of society?
I’ve witnessed the life of someone who rolled and crawled in society, proficient in human relations to a heartbreaking degree!
I’m standing on the shoulders of an emotional intelligence giant!
Li Chi proudly looked at the group who had resumed discussing the earlier topic.
Yes, the little actions of Black Dragon and Vivian, this father-daughter pair, had been clearly seen by Omega’s super perception long ago.
Of course, he knew what medicine Vivian was selling in her gourd.
Using Amazon’s feeding method was also intentional.
He did this for two reasons.
One was to give the boss face—after all, he couldn’t refuse something handed over by the boss’s daughter.
Refusing would be slapping the boss’s daughter’s face, and slapping the boss’s daughter’s face was slapping the boss’s face. Don’t want that 100,000 yuan salary?
The second was to make everyone settle down a bit.
If there’s a first time, there will be a second, and if there’s a second, there will be countless more. Deterring them this way was good too.
Ha, I’m so clever!
