Chapter 20: Little Succubus Vivian

“Black Dragon!!! I’ll kill you!”

At the Dark Organization headquarters, a exhilarating free-for-all fight was underway.

The attacking White Lion flew into a rage, charging through the company interior with his sword raised. 

The defending Black Dragon dodged back and forth, occasionally extending a hand to block a few slashes with the armor attached to it.

“What’s with you again?!”

Black Dragon looked somewhat impatiently at the furious White Lion in front of him. 

Clearly, he hadn’t gone out of his way to provoke him today—he’d just been honestly playing with figurines in his office. 

Yet this guy, without a word, had come swinging his sword right upon seeing him.

“You tell me what’s wrong?!”

White Lion roared, swinging the blade in his hand with increasing ferocity.

“How would I know what’s wrong with me?!”

Black Dragon dodged left and right, shouting himself hoarse in his own defense.

“I was just playing with figurines in my office today! I didn’t do anything!”

White Lion bellowed in fury: “I even installed the floor-shaker! Why didn’t you shoot marbles today?!”

Black Dragon: “…”

Good grief, this guy was picking a fight for no reason, feeling aggrieved inside and just grabbing any excuse to come hack at him!

Black Dragon was speechless—why was this guy so hard to please?

The two big men dashed wildly in the corridor in front of the office: he fled, he pursued, he couldn’t escape even with wings.

“These two have such a good relationship…”

Not far away, Li Chi, who was observing this free-for-all, silently commented.

“This is just everyday stuff… You guys keep up the good work.”

Lina seemed long accustomed to it, just smiling helplessly while urging the monster comrades beside her who were building the new fourth-floor reception desk.

“Gugu gaga!”

These monsters were the most ordinary basic monsters, the so-called grunts or low-level monsters. 

These basic monsters had forms not much different from ordinary people, their entire bodies wrapped tightly in black bandages.

Their heads had a green circle that glowed when they made “gugu gaga” sounds—no doubt, that was their eye.

They had self-awareness, but not much; their physical abilities far surpassed ordinary people, making them the perfect choice for hard labor.

However, though it was hard labor, these grunt monsters had their own single dorms in the company. 

Since they didn’t know how to spend money, their wages were settled directly in magic crystal cores. They worked eight hours a day and even had weekends off.

Heh…

Li Chi patted his head, feeling that memory had been influencing him more and more lately—jealousy had inexplicably popped into his mind.

Really, why am I jealous of those grunts? My treatment is way better than theirs.

Li Chi silently repeated the words he’d thought three times in his mind, and that inexplicable jealousy finally dissipated.

“What a strong resentment…”

“Dark Fang Boy, what resentment are you talking about?”

As soon as Li Chi turned his head, a cute little face butted right up to him.

Vivian made her dazzling entrance in her pretty scaled-down nun outfit!

Only now, perhaps because they were too close, did Li Chi notice that the scaled-down nun outfit Vivian wore wasn’t an ordinary nun’s habit in the traditional sense, but clothing purely constructed from magic.

Worth mentioning was that this nun outfit seemed to have some special effect—every time he tried to focus his attention on Vivian, it created a feeling of wanting to protect this little loli.

Of course, Li Chi’s intuition was always spot-on; the nun clothing Vivian wore was indeed a magic item—

‘Prayer Nun’

Attack Power +10.

Magic Power +100

Defense Power +5000

Magic Resistance +3000

Special Effect: Affinity MAX.

Special Skills: Holy Purification, Instant Teleport, Miracle Healing, Absolute Defense, Death Immunity.

Judged by the Otherworld Mage Association to have reached S-rank level, it was a rare top-tier support item. 

Countless mages and wizards would break their heads fighting over this top ultra-practical luxury good—its value immeasurable.

From this, it was clear how much the old father Black Dragon cherished Vivian; after all, this was one of his family treasures.

However, due to his extreme lack of magical knowledge, Li Chi didn’t recognize this top-tier item at all—he couldn’t even tell if the thing was a magic item or not.

As a member of the Otherworld, Li Chi could be called illiterate.

But he didn’t know that, of course.

Resisting the urge to spill all his secrets, Li Chi calmly made up a lie.

“Nothing, I was just saying White Lion’s resentment toward the BOSS is really heavy.”

After hearing this, Vivian covered her mouth and giggled, pinching her white hair and twirling it in her hand.

“Of course, White Lion’s such a dummy—it’s super fun to tease him. Daddy and I have been pranking him together for so many years, and to this day, he still thinks it’s all Daddy doing it alone.”

Such a soft, sweet voice saying such vicious words—it was truly eye-opening.

Li Chi: “…”

Good grief, truly father and daughter—no doubt blood-related. You two are quite the pair.

No wonder White Lion’s resentment toward the BOSS is so heavy—turns out you’re in on it too.

Poor White Lion, toyed with by the nun succubus loli without even knowing, just venting desperately at the one he can’t beat.

On the other side, White Lion gripped his sword with both hands and swung forcefully, while Black Dragon just shifted his position back a bit to dodge easily. 

This swing had used nearly all of White Lion’s strength, yet it landed solidly on a nearby decorative pillar.

“Hey hey hey, that’s expensive! Deducting it from your salary!”

“Deduct it then! After I kill you, I’ll be the boss myself!”

“What?! You brat want to usurp power?!”

“So what if I do? Take this!”

This time, Black Dragon didn’t dodge anymore.

He extended both hands, and in the instant that menacing blade touched his face, he clapped them together at a speed so fast it left only afterimages.

Secret Technique: Bare-Handed Blade Catch!

The blade was stuck dead between Black Dragon’s gauntlets. White Lion pulled hard, but couldn’t budge it.

“Had enough fun? Stop messing around—I called you here for a meeting, not for revenge.”

Hearing Black Dragon say this, White Lion’s anger flared even more; he decisively abandoned the sword, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared for round two.

“White Lion, stop.”

At that moment, Vivian spoke up, looking at White Lion with her fist raised, all pitiful.

White Lion’s form froze on the spot, momentarily at a loss.

“Yeah, Little White Lion, we can’t afford to waste time—you have to think of the big picture.”

Black Dragon also looked at White Lion all pitiful, even using righteousness to pressure him.

“So gross!”

The anger that had just subsided ignited again.

White Lion’s punch landed solidly on Black Dragon’s face. Though it didn’t hurt or itch for the latter, Black Dragon still pretended, staggering back.

Consider it a small price for bullying him all these years.

Black Dragon and Vivian didn’t continue provoking White Lion; they turned and signaled for everyone to follow them to the conference room.

Everyone started walking, except White Lion, who stood stunned in place, blankly staring at his fist.

“I… hit that bastard?”

Savoring that real sensation, excitement and joy surged in his heart—White Lion’s lips couldn’t be suppressed no matter what.

Being second-in-command is really suffocating…

Watching this scene, Li Chi didn’t know what to say. 

Anyone with eyes could see Black Dragon was totally acting. He walked up and silently patted White Lion’s shoulder.

“So pitiful…”

“What do you mean?”

White Lion looked at Li Chi smugly, even pressing his fist against Omega’s chest plate, as if showing off his achievement.

Li Chi wanted to speak but stopped, ultimately saying nothing, just sighing deeply.

“Nothing…”

Ah, wait—that’s not right? I remember this guy was pretty smart when he first arrived yesterday?

Li Chi was a bit puzzled. At that moment, Lina patted his shoulder, signaling him to look at Vivian.

Using his super perception ability, Li Chi noticed that Vivian’s nun outfit was currently emitting a faint magic fluctuation.

“…”

This thing reduces intelligence too?

After learning the truth, Li Chi and Lina looked at the smug White Lion with sympathetic eyes.

Fine, you father-daughter pair teaming up to trap him again (why did I say “again”?).

What a pure-blooded little succubus…
