Chapter 60: Li Chi: It’s Over

Ten minutes had already passed. 

Skaya had long since released her transformation and was waiting at the entrance of the Magic Association.

She waited and waited, but the sky-blue-haired boy never appeared.

Strange… Did President Xing Yao have something important to discuss with him?

After thinking it over, she figured that since Li Chi was an executor under Xing Yao, there were probably many things that couldn’t be said in front of an outsider like her. 

That must mean Li Chi was still inside discussing some important matters with President Xing Yao.

It had to be that!

The girl nodded firmly to herself, fully convinced.

***

Inside the Magic Association headquarters, in a dimly lit room (which was actually Xing Yao’s office with the lights off), the boy struggled desperately. 

Unfortunately, the opponents were simply too powerful. 

In the end, he could only swallow his humiliation and lose his dignity.

Good news: His little brother was still alive and completely unharmed. 

Bad news: His dignity had ultimately failed to hold.

Lace stockings stretched tightly over his thighs. 

A white velvet headpiece had been personally placed on his head by the golden great demon, who ordered him not to take it off. 

The black-and-white ultra-short maid skirt accentuated his streamlined figure.

Yes. Under a combination of threats and bribes, Li Chi had chosen to put on the maid outfit.

Logically speaking, he should never have worn it—no matter the cost.

But what Xing Yao offered was simply too much!

He had to choose between ten million or ten high-tier magic sets.

Li Chi, who came from an ordinary family, had never seen such a grand offer before!

So, Li Chi chose to endure the humiliation.

Wear it! He had to wear it! And it had to be the maid outfit!

Dignity? 

Please, what was dignity compared to ten million plus a choice of ten high-tier spells?

Forget the ten million for a moment—just the ten advanced magic sets alone were insane. 

For an ordinary mage, mastering even one was enough to be called a genius and a lucky bastard. 

This was a full ten sets, personally taught by Xing Yao, the titan of the magic world! The value was obvious. 

Just the worth alone probably exceeded a billion.

However, according to Black Dragon, Xing Yao was never this generous. 

Rumor had it that when he was young, he was extremely stingy. 

He would even carefully weigh the pros and cons before buying a ten-dollar pork knuckle rice bowl.

So why was he giving so much just for Li Chi to play with his granddaughter for a while?

Suspicious. This was way too suspicious.

“Wow! You’re seriously so cute!”

Unable to hold back any longer, Ying Guang rushed forward and started kneading Li Chi’s face.

Meanwhile, Xing Yao was calmly sipping tea at his desk, watching the scene with a serene expression.

“Ah, youth is wonderful…”

It was quite jarring to hear such words from someone who looked like a teenager, but since the other party was ultimately an old man, it didn’t feel strange.

In truth, Xing Yao had his reasons for offering so much at once.

As a high-ranking executive of the Dark Organization, Li Chi had access to nearly limitless resources from them. 

However, Black Dragon provided those resources in a very discreet manner. 

Although the other executives knew and Li Chi could feel it, nothing was overtly visible.

On Xing Yao’s side, he also wanted to invest in this natural enemy of anti-humans. 

But in the Magic Association, Li Chi was merely a nominal executor—an ordinary employee in name. No one else knew his true identity. 

Giving him too much at once, even if it was from Xing Yao’s own pocket and not association funds, would definitely cause resentment from others.

So what could he do?

Xing Yao came up with a plan. 

Everyone in the Magic Association knew that he doted on his granddaughter Ying Guang more than anything—she was his precious treasure.

His granddaughter had recently become extremely hyper after encountering a boy with special abilities. 

She needed a proper outlet to vent.

And that outlet had to be someone willing to swallow humiliation and cast aside his dignity, appearing before his granddaughter at just the right moment.

This was an “opportunity” he had manufactured himself. It was a one-time thing, and Li Chi had just happened to walk right into it. 

Moreover, the target of her venting was the very culprit who had made his granddaughter act so strangely.

Then, under the guise of compensation, he could openly give the boy a massive amount of resources all at once.

This way, the other mages under him wouldn’t find it suspicious.

No one would use underhanded methods to create similar situations either. 

After all, everyone here had extremely high moral standards and positive mindsets.

In a way, this was actually the first time Xing Yao had ever abused his authority for personal reasons.

It allowed him to make the investment while also calming his granddaughter down. Truly killing two birds with one stone.

The more Xing Yao thought about it, the happier he became. 

This joy came straight from his heart, even causing two little pixels of delight to appear at the corners of his mouth.

As for his granddaughter’s current condition, Xing Yao wasn’t too worried. 

He had already checked. 

The residual golden bio-electric current had slightly strengthened her physical abilities and even increased her magic power a little. 

It wasn’t much, but it was a genuine improvement.

Although there was a side effect of making people overly excited, it was only temporary. 

If used properly, it couldn’t even really be called a downside.

Looking at it this way, getting shocked once brought nothing but benefits. 

If he hadn’t seen his granddaughter acting like this, even Xing Yao himself would have wanted to get shocked by Li Chi once.

Because of this, Li Chi’s value in Xing Yao’s eyes rose once again. 

The investment needed to be arranged as soon as possible, which led to the current scene.

“Waaahhh! This is amazing! Amazing! So amazing!”

Ying Guang was like a woman possessed as she kneaded Li Chi’s face, then ruffled his hair, and even started touching his legs.

Li Chi endured all of it. 

After receiving so much in one go, getting touched a few times was nothing.

“Debut! You should debut with me! Li Chi! You will definitely become the next top star!”

Ying Guang grabbed Li Chi’s shoulders, just like when they had first met.

“My agency needs someone like you! Come on, come on, come on, come on!”

Li Chi looked down at his own hands as the golden bio-electric current surfaced once again.

He was starting to wonder whether his ability was simply too good, or if this girl was using this opportunity to freely reveal her true nature.

Should I shock her again?

This ridiculous thought appeared in his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

This was her grandfather’s headquarters, after all. Shocking her right in front of her grandpa would clearly be inappropriate.

Just then, Li Chi’s peripheral vision caught the slightly ajar door.

The long, straight black-haired magical girl was standing outside, covering her mouth in shock as she stared through the gap at what was happening inside the office.

Li Chi: “……”

It’s over.
