In a lonely road, two guys were in an expensive sports car...one with a straight face was driving while the other one...well that would be me.
"what's the matter? scared?"
Shen Lao said in a mocking voice with his stoic expression..
"haha scared? and me? no way!! I was just wondering why are we going to the lone woods.."
I answered as I was not sure what he is thinking about...
"oh that's because I'm gonna kill you right now~"
"haha that's a nice one master Shen.....it was a joke right?"
A deep silence confirmed that this guy is definitely not joking.....guess it was true that he's a little too protective of his family...
"I'm gonna ask you some questions and if you failed to answer any of them.."
'haha what are you gonna do attack me? I'm stronger than you and I can totally take you down...'
"I'm gonna put a bounty on your head and don't even think about running cause all the dangerous Hitman are gonna chase you to the end of this world.."
"wha....."
"and I have enough money to hire a hundred of them."
'.....how could this man say something so horrifying with a straight face....oh right he's expressionless...'
"your name is Feng Xin, you're from a Qi-Xing village in the mountains, but one day your Village was attacked by some martial artists of unknown origin.... however, for some reason you got rescued....after that, there's no information about you until you came to this city...from your childhood till now...you were erased from the face of earth..."
'....woah... I didn't knew Xin had a backstory like that..'
" you must be wondering why I'm telling you all this? "
"well...not really-"
"it's because I know that you're hiding something...."
he said this as he suddenly hit the brakes and the car stopped..
"and that's not all, I even know everything that you've been doing ever since you came to this city.."
'wait does that mean...HE ALSO KNOW THAT I WORK FOR BLACK ODYSSEY!!!'
" and currently, I came to the knowledge that you are a gold digger."
"what?.."
"don't be too shocked, my eyes and ears are everywhere."
"....."
"and after everything, I came to the conclusion that you are trying someone who's trying to get close with my family for either money...or is it connection."
'... DAMN IT!!! he's sharp!!'
'...now.....I have no other choice...'
' I mean I do need more Allies on my side and I also have a plan to gain Su Shen Lao's favour.'
' they didn't get filtered when I told Li Lin the truth....then I'm sure there won't be any problem.'
' stop being too stuck in that time!!!'
"what's the matter? cat got your tongue?"
"well... you're right!!!"
"heh... I knew it...now tell me why?"
He said as made a grim expression....which made his already expressionless face more scary!!!!
'FUCKKK!!!'
"The truth is..."
"yes?"
"I'm in love with your fiancee-..."
before I could finish my sentence, I closed my stupid mouth...
"....."
"....."
<.....>
' I should really do something about my habit of being too confident...'
.
.

(after an hour of awkward silence)
.
.
.
After a long silence.... finally Shen Lao opened his mouth...
"ahem...you got guts for saying something so daring in front of me..."
"..... you're not angry?... I... I mean after... what I said.."
"Well, of course I'm angry, not only did you try to infiltrate my family but you also have your eyes on my fiancee.."
'well.... I don't really have eyes on her...but whatever?'
after a deep breath, Shen Lao opened his mouth again..
"and to be honest.... I can understand the feeling of being in love with someone but being too helpless to anything about it."
It was only for a brief moment but I could see sadness in his eyes...
'... remember when I said that I have a plan to get Shen Lao's favour...this is what it was about..'

(self narration)
This novel did good in the Beginning...but soon people started complaining about how everything was too repeatitive...and well it was to be honest..
That's when the author created a side story for character " Su Shen Lao" and his love life...
It was similar to those urban novel, where a rich billionaire falls in love with a middle class girl....and first many people criticized this idea but as the story progressed as well as the side love story of Shen Lao... readers ended up accepting it, there were also some who were interested in the love story...
but the sadistic author pulled the death flag on both of these characters by the end of the novel...

(present)
'and now that I think about it...this guy did went through a lot.... I mean he couldn't show his emotions through expressions....the little sister he loved got kidnapped and disappeared from the face of earth....and because of that his parents fall in depression...and when it looked like he had someone who loved him for who he was...well they both got assassinated by the Black Odyssey.'
<....wait... you're not thinking of->
' Correct.... I'm thinking about helping him with this...'
' hey!! that's rude you know!! who said I'm inexperienced in love...'
'....haha it might be because you don't know but I have been in a relationship three times in my previous life..'
<...wow...three times!!! and you still weren't able to get your first kiss, that's rough buddy...>
'.... anyways.... If I'm able to help him get his lover then I would also be able to fulfill my promise that I made with Li Lin...that I'll help her break off her engagement with Su family..'
<....this isn't like you... since when did you start caring about others?>
'....is that a personal attack or something?'

(at Su family mansion)

After a long ...no a really long ride, we both came back...and well.
"he can work here, but if I find anything suspicious about him... I wouldn't think twice before kicking him out.."
Su Shen Lao said as it looked like he was being forced into saying all this..
"haha!! I knew you'll like him too!!!"
but unknown to this, Mr Su was patting his back while laughing.
'.....still I think my work has become more hard this time...'
(flashback)
"wait.... you're saying you'll help me break off this marriage without offending both the parties?"
"didn't you say that there's already someone that you like? are you sure you'll be happy with this marriage....forget this you think Zhong Li Lin will be happy with this marriage..."
"what?"
"maybe you don't know this but she's being forces into this marriage and is in love with someone else!"
"....wait really?"
"well other than that!!! you want help or not!!!"
after being silent for a while.... Shen Lao finally said...
"....yes"
and after that he continued..
" There's no point in a marriage without love.... it's only going to make things hard for both me and Zhong Li Lin... please...help me break off this marriage..."
"haha sure, your wish is my command..."
(flashback ended)
.
.
.
' I guess I'll have to thank my plot Armor for this....or else there's no way someone could get out of that situation with this ridiculous plan..'
"I did said that in the heat of the moment...but will I be successful in breaking off this marriage?"
I said as I took a deep sigh...
"I just hope everything goes well from here..."

(Ran's POV)
After the first three events ended in failure.... I can't let this one go to waste...
'If I remember correctly, the forth event must be around the corner.... In that event I hired some thugs to take care of Xin....but he overpowers them with ease and then humiliated me infront of all the heroines....but I really don't want to get humiliated but...if I don't...then I won't be able to get villain points, then I'll have to forget about going back to my world....no I can't let that happen...'
As I was deep in thoughts... someone called my name...
"you must be Mr. Jiang Ran, right?"
after hearing this, I looked back to see the owner of this voice..
"yes!!! do you idiots have any idea how late you all were!!!"
I said as in front of me were some shadowy figures...
"I sincerely apologies...we had some business to take care of....so, the reason you called for us?"
"ah...right!! here take this...this person, I want you all to take care of him at this date and this time."
the guy whom I was talking with came out from the shadows to take a look at the photo..
"hmm....yes, very well...your work will be done.."
after taking a long look ....he handed me back the photo..
...and I got to see how this person looked like....
' guess these days thugs like to dress up mysteriously...'
the person in front of me was wearing a good and a strange mask...
" after all....they don't call me reaper for no reason..."
