Feng Yongrui also added that "The Boss" would take care of Lilith and the Flame Stone. As for He Yi, it was thoroughly up to Xu Chao on how to deal with him.
After writing down all the important information that he could think of, Feng Yongrui paused. He wanted to end the letter with an obvious mark -- a sign that he would always use whenever he communicated with Xu Chao.
"What mark or symbol should I use...?" Feng Yongrui muttered.
It had to be a distinctive mark, one that would represent him and his Boss...
After thinking for a while, Feng Yongrui decided to draw a cloud at the bottom left corner of the letter.
Since his Boss, Chen Tengfei, was from the Cloud Realm, this symbol should be good enough.
After drawing the symbol, Feng Yongrui folded the paper into two and flew into the main mansion. He had to stealthily put this letter somewhere, and make sure that Xu Chao saw it!
When he entered the main mansion, Feng Yongrui flew inside Xu Chao's room. After he entered, Feng Yongrui felt a wave of fear rise inside his heart.
This feeling... It was similar to that time when he saw Lilith!
Feng Yongrui's eyes widened involuntarily when he realized that Xu Chao was also inside the room!
Feng Yongrui took a deep breath. Didn't he come here to deliver the letter to Xu Chao? He should've anticipated that Xu Chao would be here...
He couldn't back out now!
Feng Yongrui inched closer to Xu Chao and looked at the latter's face. This was actually his first time taking a closer look at Xu Chao's face.
Xu Chao had sharp features, and his rough eyebrows made him look somewhat like a ruffian. His eyes were filled with shrewdness and a cold, murderous air was emanated from him.
Feng Yongrui wondered if all Family Heads were like this...
Lilith was pretty scary already... But Xu Chao was even worse!
Feng Yongrui did not dare to stare at Xu Chao for too long.
Xu Chao was sitting behind a coffee table looking at several reports. Meanwhile, He Yi, with his horns still intact, was standing by his side and pouring tea.
Feng Yongrui was a bit speechless. When he entered the room, he was so focused on Xu Chao that he didn't even notice He Yi's existence!
Feng Yongrui wanted to leave the letter on the desk, but he wanted to wait for He Yi to leave and do something.
If he gave the letter to Xu Chao under He Yi's watchful eyes, what I'd He Yi said some nonsense and Xu Chao didn't believe the letter?
Feng Yongrui waited for some time, hoping that He Yi would leave Xu Chao and do whatever job he had to do. However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
Xu Chao looked at his reports without blinking, while He Yi accompanied him like a statue.
Feng Yongrui's heart grew more and restless. Why were these two acting like statues? If he stayed here for too long, what if someone found out that he wasn't working?
"Of course, Host, if they found out you weren't working, they'd probably fire you," the System said.
"Worst case scenario, they find out that you're a spy and decide to torture you for information~~" the System added.
Feng Yongrui couldn't help pursing his lips angrily. The System was supposed to help him complete his mission, right?? Why did it have to sound so angry??
Feng Yongrui sighed and looked at the motionless pair in front of him. He Yi and Xu Chao were both as still as statues. It made Feng Yongrui wonder if there was a glitch in this world and time had been frozen.
A few seconds later, Feng Yongrui couldn't hold it in anymore. He decided to send the letter a little later, so he spun around, ready to return to the stables.
However, it was at that moment that Feng Yongrui heard a loud thud. He quickly turned his head, only to see a roll of documents flying through the air. The documents flew through the middle of the room and scattered unto the floor.
Feng Yongrui whipped his head to look at the perpetrator. It was Xu Chao! And Xu Chao was standing up?!
Feng Yongrui had no time to admire the "living statue", because Xu Chao had grabbed a few items on the table and flung them through the air again, watching in fury as the items flew left and right.
Feng Yongrui looked at He Yi -- what was happening? Did Xu Chao find out He Yi was a bad guy? Was Xu Chao in trouble...? A million thoughts flashed through Feng Yongrui's head, but when he looked at He Yi's calm expression, Feng Yongrui understood.
This was something that He Yi was accustomed to!
Feng Yongrui didn't dare to make a sound as Xu Chao bashed and threw item after item. Feng Yongrui didn't know what it was that Xu Chao picked up, but He Yi's face distorted into a frown.
Was that item important...? Feng Yongrui wondered.
He took a closer look at the item. It was an oval-shaped rock that was a brilliant orange hue...
It just looked like a decorative rock...
Feng Yongrui watched as Xu Chao flung the rock with all his might. He Yi's face was filled with panic and he rushed forward, trying to catch the rock before it touched the ground.
The rock flew in an elegant arc... it was getting closer... closer...
Bam!
Feng Yongrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Well, He Yi had managed to catch the rock... with his head....
The rock was pretty hard, and when it came in contact with He Yi's head, He Yi quickly caught the rock.
But it was too late. Blood had already spurted out from He Yi's wound.
Feng Yongrui was really speechless, and he turned around to look at Xu Chao. The man was still huffing growling, like a starved animal that had escaped from its cage...
"Those dratted subordinates! Why can't they do anything right?" Xu Chao screamed.
"What kind of reports did those people make, huh??" he yelled. "Are their brains made of mushrooms??"
"Why do they have to go round and round, talking about useless information, huh?? Do they think it's funny?"
"Oh, I know," Xu Chao hissed, throwing another item. "They think I have a lot of spare time, huh?? Is that it?? They think I've got a lot of time on my hands and I can use my time reading their worthless reports?!!"
"ALSO!" Xu Chao yelled as he flipped his table upside down.
"Why! Do! They! Have! To! Talk! About! Useless! Info!!!" he enunciated each word, throwing even more items as he did so.
Huffing and growling, Xu Chao clenched his fists and punched the bookshelves behind him, startling the poor Feng Yongrui.
"Why are all of them so useless? If there's a problem, why is it that they report to me instead of fixing the problem themselves, huh???" Xu Chao roared.
"If they report every single problem to me, then what's the use of having them??" he shrieked.
"Also, aren't they all working for me?? If something wrong happens, why do they all shirk their responsibility and blame each other?? It's not like I'm an evil Master who will punish them for making mistakes, right?? Why can't they be honest and just admit their mistakes??" Xu Chao yelled.
Xu Chao's hair was in slight disarray and his chest was heaving up and down as he glared at the documents on the ground. Meanwhile, Feng Yongrui didn't dare to move at all.
What if Xu Chao discovered his presence?
Feng Yongrui knew, logically, that Xu Chao couldn't find him, but he was still afraid nonetheless. The angry Xu Chao was like a raging bull...
"S-should we still give him the letter, Host?" the System's voice was suddenly heard.
Feng Yongrui pursed his lips.
"Of course we'll give him the letter! But... maybe we'll wait for a while..." he replied.
The System did not say anything, and Feng Yongrui focused on Xu Chao and He Yi. It seemed like Xu Chao's temper tantrum was over, because his heaving chest had calmed down and his ragged breaths had become steadier than before.
"Go and get a glass of water," Xu Chao said, motioning for He Yi to go.
"Understood, Sir," He Yi replied. He gave a bow and turned around, walking away.
Feng Yongrui blinked twice. Wasn't this his chance?? He Yi was leaving! Without delaying anymore, Feng Yongrui took out the paper and used his magic to make it fly in front of Xu Chao.
Feng Yongrui was invisible, but the paper was not. When Xu Chao saw a paper flying around him, his face grew dark and he looked at the surroundings angrily.
"Who dares to play tricks in front of me??" Xu Chao growled.
