Xiao Jiuyan frowned, hostility pouring off of him as he stared at Akira Mato.
Akira Mato actually felt an invisible pressure as Xiao Jiuyan continued to look at him, the smile on his face fading a little.
The War God of Long Xiao.
Xiao Jiuyan more than earned that title.
He might be paralyzed but it didn't diminish his power and strength.
"What conditions do you have?" Xiao Jiuyan asked.
There were no secrets that could be kept forever. Akira Mato just wanted to get his leverage.
For the right price, he's willing to divulge anything.
Akira Mato laughed. "You're straightforward, Master Jiu, I like that." He pointed at the expressionless girl standing beside him and said, "This is the strongest guardian of the Akira family right now, Xun."
Xiao Jiuyan's gaze swept past the girl.
Although she stood there with a cold expression in her face, there was no denying that she was beautiful.
Heartless and emotionless.
Akira Mato continued, "Kaori didn't use to be the Akira family's strongest guardian, though. Before her, there was a little cutie that escaped. I am hoping that you could help me track her down. I'm also counting on you to let me take her away when the time comes."
Xiao Jiuyan wasn't expecting that.
"Why would I stop you?"
Akira Mato smiled charmingly. "I don't know. People's hearts always change."
BOX 208, NEXT DOOR.
Guan Xi sat on CEO Wang's left side while Xia Mei sat on the right.
Producer Xu was also there along with a few shareholders of Angel Entertainment. Each and every one of the shareholders had a young and beautiful model beside them. None of them were as beautiful as Guan Xi, though.
"Little Xi, you're so beautiful."
CEO Wang was almost forty. He had a Mediterranean head and a fat belly that made him look as though he was pregnant. He looked at Guan Xi who was sitting beside him and couldn't help but reach out, wanting to touch her soft hands.
Guan Xi skillfully blocked him. She smiled and said, "President Wang, you flatter me. I feel shy with praises like that."
She poured herself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
She then brought another glass of wine to President Wang and said softly, "President Wang, do you care to have a drink?"
Her sweet voice melted CEO Wang's heart.
President Wang stared lecherously at Guan Xi.
He looked at her face, admiring her fair skin and long lashes. She was as beautiful and delicate as a doll. His libido raged just by looking at her and hearing her talk.
Every penny he paid for her was worth it.
"Alright, I'll drink."
CEO Wang reached for the glass of wine, trying to sneak a few touches.
He didn't get the chance to enact his creepy intention, though, as Guan Xi immediately placed the glass in his hand.
With a smile, she urged, "Drink, CEO Wang."
"Okay, okay." CEO Wang obediently drank.
Producer Xu was relieved that CEO Wang was pleased with Guan Xi.
He was feeling a bit scorned, though.
He didn't want to be here, but had to. This was the price he had to pay to get more money and resources.
Across from him, Xia Mei watched as Guan Xi charmed President Wang, her teeth gnashing in hatred.
How did she not know that CEO Wang had taken a fancy to Guan Xi?
She was clearly a useless substitute, yet she actually dared to steal her patron.
Enviously, Xia Mei poured a cup of wine and handed it to CEO Wang. "Here, President Wang. Drink some of this."
CEO Wang glanced at Xia Mei impatiently and snapped, "Eat your food and don't bother me."
Xia Mei's heart filled with anger, but as a kept woman, she couldn't say anything. In a low voice, she answered, "Yes."
CEO Wang Looked at Guan Xi again. He had drank quite a lot of wine, and his desire for the beautiful and smart girl in front of him was getting stronger and stronger. A fire burned in his lower abdomen as he leaned towards her. "Come, Little Baby Xi, let met give you a kiss..."
