"Are you questioning my decisions?" Yu Sheng point at himself while staring down on the man who dare question him.
The man wore a simply blue suit, his hair black, fringed together in a fade. The man held his hands together, his face hidden between them as his glasses on the bridge of his nose reflect the light from outside, his aura giving off a mysterious yet dangerous vibe.
"Can I not question?" Unfazed by Yu Sheng question and his way of ignoring his own, the man inquired with a raise of his head. Revealing his charcoal, hawk like eyes that stare at Yu Sheng keenly.
'That stare.' Yu Sheng gulped when his gaze met the mans own. Those eyes looked at him like all his secrets were in the opening for taking. Reminding him of Yu Bing eyes that were quite similar.
"Fine, fine." Yu Sheng waved his hand in annoyance, masking his true emotions. "What was your question again? I forgot." Yawning as if tired, Yu Sheng covered his face and especially his eyes that was losing its confidence from being looked at by the man, but not matter what he did it was going to be futile in front of this man.
"Kong Tian may have been arrogant, but he cared for the company and the people within. However, you... you are nothing but a child who cannot see the value of the company and the people within it." The man continue staring at Yu Sheng as if trying to uncover something.
"In my opinion the person who should be thrown out of the window was you, not him." The man provoked, his eyes becoming deadly.
"Then why didn't you interfere?" Yu Sheng asked as sweat began covering the back of his head as he continued staring at those eyes.
"Interfere? Sorry, but I am not interested with the affairs of the weak." Raising his glasses to the top of his nose he said in disdain as he continue, "Kong Tian may have been an valuable asset, but it's not like he cannot be replaced. We will simply promote someone and give an worthy employee the position of the said person previous position."
"..."
The crowd of executives couldn't believe what they were hearing. Who was Kong Tian? He was a cultivator at the third stage of the Kai Realm and an expert in the field of business! Without him the company wouldn't even reach where it is now!
Yet who is this man? An executive just like them who isn't even a cultivator.
"Wait a minute who is this guy?"
"I never saw him here before."
"A newly promoted employee?"
"I'm scared..."
"Haha!" Suddenly a laugh echo in the room.
Listening to the executives whispers, as if coming to an understanding Yu Sheng couldn't help but laugh as if he heard the biggest joke in history.
"Ah, now I know. No wonder I felt intimidated by you." Wiping the the imaginary tears from his face Yu Sheng snickered.
"I don't ever recall seeing you around here, but hey. It's not like I am always here to attend these meetings. You all know how I am. Busy everyday, every hour." Yu Sheng joked while staring at everyone, causing them to avert their gaze from his own in fright.
They still couldn't process the thought that Xu Wantian would kill Kong Tian.
Yu Sheng ignoring them, switched back his gaze to the man. "Do you know why these people choose to only speak in whispers, while you choose to open your big mouth?" He said while waving his hand at the people in the room.
"Please enlighten me." Not finding Yu Sheng words offensive like Kong Tian, the man asked with interest.
"That's because their afraid. Their afraid that I will lash out on them and that they will never get to see the light of day again."
"Before today they all looked at me with their gazes filled with mockery, but after I reveal my power for all to see they became like scared ducklings refusing to even breathe too loud in fear of disturbing me."
The man listening attentively turn his attention to the people in the room. He could see that they were trembling from fear. "As I said. It's because their weak."
Yu Sheng smiled at that answer. As if expecting it he said, "So tell me then, was it the clan that sent you here to watch me? If so, then then that makes things simple.
"..."
The two remain quiet. Only staring at one another. The man looked at Yu Sheng as if contemplating what he should say next while Yu Sheng stared at the man with visibly excitement. Even without activating Crimson Night, his blood couldn't help but boil for something more exciting.
They stared at one another for a long time before the man broke the ice burg.
"Your smarter than you look. I will give you credit for that." The man dropped his facade with a smile as he stood up from his seat while extending his hand for a handshake. "My name is Xu Lengyu from the main branch, its a pleasure to meet you Xu Wantian."
"The pleasure is mine." Yu Sheng smiled back and took his hand in a handshake.
'What the hell is someone from the main branch doing here! Much less someone as important as Xu Lengyu?!?!?!' In his mind however, Yu Sheng was freaking out.
The Xu Clan is separated into two branches. The Main Branch and The Smaller Branch.
The Main Branch consist of those born from the Xu Emperor seven major wives. These women are the people who handle all the affairs in the Xu Clan when the Xu Emperor is absent.
While from what you can tell, The Smaller Branches are those born from impure blood. Those born with imperfect blood.
The Human Race, Elf Race, Dragon Race and among others disdain those born from impure blood.
The reason behind this is because an individual born with impure blood always have imperfect bloodline and imperfect bloodline means a high chance of being born with low talent and a low chances of inheriting a clans skills.
In the case of Xu Wantian, he was born by a woman who seduced the Xu Emperor.
When the Main Branch found out that this happened. The Seven Major Wives issued an imperial order to have her executed.
However, when they found out that she was pregnant with the child of The Xu Emperor they canceled the execution.
So basically, Xu Wantian is a bastard child...
Anyways, being born in the Main Branch, Xu Lengyy is a genius born right before the Genuis Era was about to end.
Because of his talent and the good karma that came from being born in the Genuis Era along with being a child of the Xu Emperor he quickly grew to become one of the strongest experts in the world. He also inherited the Xu Emperor ability of manipulating darkness.
"You must be shocked." Xu Lengyu continue smiling, showing his teeth. "You must be thinking, 'why is someone from the main branch doing here?!?!'" He open his mouth slightly with his hands on both cheeks and scream as if frightened.
Yu Sheng seeing this couldn't keep his smile attached. His mouth twitch and cringe at the sight. 'Can this man read minds or something...'
"Now you must be thinking, can I read your mind?" When Yu Sheng heard this his smile and welcoming eyes completely fell revealing a shocked expression as if he was having an heart attack
"Haha!" However, Xu Lengyu only laughed at his stare. Patting Yu Sheng shoulders he chuckled, "I was just kidding no need to become so hostile!"
"If only you could see your face right now!" Beaming a bright smile he said while looking at Yu Sheng with a teasing eyes.
'This bastard...' Yu Sheng cursed. The fact that Yu Yaojing could read his mind anytime she wants always made him paranoid being around others. 'What would happen if I every thought of something embarrassing? God she would never let me hear the end of it...'
'Not to mention if this guy were to read my mind he would immediately realize I am not Xu Wantian. God this world is dangerous.' Changing his expression Yu Sheng patted Xu Lengyu shoulders as well.
"I see you like going around pranking others." Going with the flow, Yu Sheng laughed back while tapping his left shoulder.
"..."
Xu Lengyu trembled slightly at Yu Sheng touch. With a smile still on his face he ordered with a disgusted tone.
"Get your filthy hands off me."
'Ouch.' Sucking in a mouthful of air Yu Sheng took his hand off his shoulder. "Sorry, I didn't mean to tap your shoulder so hard that your survival instincts would immediately kick in." Chucking, Yu Sheng back away from Xu Lengyu.
"That's right— Wait are you saying I am afraid of you?"
Xu Lengyu questioned with an unfriendly look.
"Is that not the reason why your whole body tremble as if you got an electric shock from my touch?"
Xu Lengyu froze at his response. 'Was that really the case?' He asked himself, but shook his head afterward. 'No, there is no way my survival instincts would kick in from a mere mortal.'
"Sigh, this is getting no where." Facepalming himself, Xu Lengyu then stare at his wrist. After a couple seconds a silver watch appear on his wrist and a hologram lit up, showing the current time as 12:00 PM.
"Cool...." Yu Sheng couldn't help but mutter. Back on earth, technology was no where close to reaching this. Sure, there were a few things such as glasses with built in operating systems inside them, but that was all.
'They didn't even have Realistic Virtual Reality." He scoffed at the thought. A Virtual Reality where he could enter and move around as if his body was real was always his dream.
"Look, we have already wasted too much time talking. This meeting should have ended an hour ago." Rubbing his in frustration Xu Lengyu groaned.
"Whatever, I will just reschedule a few things." He said with a whisper.
"Now tell me Xu Wantian. How do you plan to surpass your cousins cause from what I am seeing here...."
"You have done absolutely nothing."
