Free Web NovelChapter 365: Chapter 365: Self-Righteousness _1
"President, what do you mean?" Wang Yue felt his heart grow cold, having barely escaped death while his two teammates didn’t even have a place to be buried. Yet now he had to endure a scolding from Lu Cheng, which he found utterly unacceptable.
Lu Cheng stated, "Based on your description, I can deduce that Ye Ming that scoundrel is not a cultivator at all, but a person who has practiced sorcery."
"Moreover, the sorcery he has practiced has already reached a certain realm; the power of his spells is extremely potent."
Lu Cheng paced the room, analyzing slowly, "To deal with a person who has practiced sorcery, you actually confronted him head-on—how could you possibly manage to cope with him?"
"It’s simply ludicrous!"
Wang Yue fell into deep thought, his blockheaded mind still failing to grasp the crux of the matter.
Looking at him with frustration, Lu Cheng continued, "As far as I know, there isn’t a single person in this world who practices sorcery that is physically robust. Their physical strength is no different from that of ordinary people; they shatter upon impact."
"All you needed was to use your head a little, to avoid a frontal clash. If you could have engaged him in close combat, why suffer such heavy casualties? Such a waste of the Martial Artist Association’s talents!"
Wang Yue suddenly saw the light and was filled with regret. Why hadn’t he thought of that? Combining Lu Cheng’s description with the situation on the scene, it was clear that Ye Ming was indeed a person who practiced sorcery. Had he only thought to circle behind for a surprise attack, he could have totally slain Ye Ming. Instead, he had embarrassingly knelt and begged for mercy, losing face and even more so, substance.
Now, even knowing Ye Ming’s weakness, Wang Yue no longer had the power to seek revenge and could only place his hopes on Lu Cheng.
He asked cautiously, "President, what should we do next? Are we going to send someone to kill him directly?"
Lu Cheng sneered and spoke unhurriedly, "No rush!"
"Ye Ming’s fatal weakness is now in my grasp, so I can’t let him die so easily. He must pay the price he deserves!"
"He has no regard for anyone, never taking our Martial Artist Association seriously, causing our esteemed association’s dignity to be trampled. It would be too easy to let him die just like that, wouldn’t it?"
Lu Cheng clenched his fists tightly, saying viciously, "This time I’m going to make him pay the most painful price, and incidentally, use him to establish our authority, to reshapes our Martial Artist Association’s image!"
"But..." Wang Yue was filled with rage. He couldn’t stand it; he was eager for Ye Ming to die immediately.
Yet before he could voice his thoughts, he was already shut down by Lu Cheng.
"Enough, stop your prattle. Go rest and recuperate. As for what comes next, I have my own plans!"
...
After returning to the hotel, Wan Yang’s mind was still echoing with the recent events.
He was so angry that he beat his chest and stomped his feet, his face crimson with fury, almost on the verge of spitting blood.
The brazen arrogance of Ye Ming replayed continuously before his eyes, and Xia Ningning’s unconditional choice of Ye Ming dealt an even greater blow to Wan Yang.
"That bitch Xia Ningning has truly infuriated me! I must take her down!"
"Since she has no sense of morality, she can’t blame me for being heartless. You two, go and bring her to me, put her in my bed, I’m going to strip her naked and defile her!"
As Wan Yang spoke, his mind began to fantasize about the salacious scene, and his anger was somewhat quelled.
The two bodyguards exchanged glances and showed troubled expressions as they quickly advised, "Young Master, no matter what, Xia Ningning is still the young miss of the Xia Family. You mustn’t act rashly!"
"If you defile her, we won’t be able to bear the Xia Family’s revenge!"
Wan Yang cursed loudly, "You two idiots, who asked you to do it yourselves? Can’t you use your brains?"
When his temper flared, he didn’t discriminate, immediately laying into his subordinates with a barrage of insults. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Use your pig brains! Why would I do it myself? Why can’t we find someone else to do it?"
"Such dirty work definitely can’t be traced back to us, but we can spend money—money can solve any problem that isn’t really a problem!"
One of the bodyguards timidly asked, "Young Master, what should we do then?"
Wan Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart and said, "Hire a hitman with money, snatch her away, then feed her a few aphrodisiacs. Before the drugs take effect, I’ll swoop in like a hero to save her!"
"By then, not only will I maintain a good reputation, but I’ll also win the beauty and defile her openly. Even if the Xia Family finds out, they won’t be able to do anything to me!"
"Maybe, I can even use this incident to marry Xia Ningning directly! My status in the family will skyrocket, and no one will look down on me anymore."
After revealing the plan, the two bodyguards raised their thumbs in admiration to Wan Yang, saying, "Young Master’s idea is truly brilliant; it really is a good plan!"
Indeed, Wan Yang’s brain wasn’t entirely useless; it just wasn’t used for anything upright.
His plan was seemingly flawless. Since he couldn’t best Ye Ming, he would directly target Xia Ningning, using an act of deceit to gain her trust, and then use aphrodisiacs to help him conquer her.
Once the deed was done and there was no turning back, no one could do anything to her, and he would also take the chance to deal a devastating blow to Ye Ming’s heart. Just thinking about it filled Wan Yang with such excitement that he couldn’t wait to get started.
Most importantly, if he really could marry Xia Ningning, his status would undergo an earth-shattering change.
As the third eldest in the family, he was often oppressed by his two elder brothers, never having a share in the family resources and only getting enough pocket money to play the role of a wastrel.
But he never admitted where he fell short, dreaming every day of turning the tables and taking control of the family.
Once successful, he would inevitably step on his two brothers, and it would be the most satisfying moment.
...
Early the next morning, Xia Ningning received a call and left the house to deal with matters.
After her departure, Lin Bingqing was still asleep, leaving only Ye Ming and Xu Lele in the vast villa, enjoying their world for two.
After a night of deep thought, Ye Ming decided to teach Xu Lele some cultivation techniques.
After all, Xu Lele’s body was extremely frail; relying solely on his own Essence to sustain her wasn’t a viable long-term strategy. If she could become stronger on her own, perhaps she could withstand this tribulation.
However, despite working hard all morning, Xu Lele was dripping with sweat yet still showed no sign of progress.
"Ye Ming, do you think I’m very stupid? I can’t learn anything."
Xu Lele leaned into Ye Ming’s embrace and asked coyly.
