Shen Yuan’s video call ended abruptly with him requesting Chairman Mao to send agents who will investigate the aftermath of tonight’s battle and apologizing to his in-laws for what happened to the hot spring resort.
He did it so swiftly that he didn’t let anyone except Bai Weisheng, Rong Suyin, and Chairman Mao speak, effectively blocking other unfamiliar people from interrupting.
Imagine the red, angry cherry in a famous computer ga. That is the very expression of the entitled lady-in-red, Mo Lihua.
"Chairman Mao! That little oga knows no respect for elders! How could you let him go after speaking that way to ?" Mo Lihua spats almost imdiately after Shen Yuan unceremoniously cut the call.
There’s no way she will take insults without putting up a fight! Most especially to an oga like Shen Yuan!
"Huh? Why should I keep him on the phone?" Chairman Mao threw an unapologetic smile at her. "My business with him was over, and even if he offended you, that is not my business, Guild Master Mo."
"It is entirely up to you if you want him to stay and fight with you, but you must rember that you will be facing retaliation from a fellow S-class awakener. Believe when I say that "that little oga" could easily brush off your phoenix flas, Mo Lihua."
Right, among the people here, Chairman Mao knows the real powers of Shen Yuan. Isn’t he the only one here who had gone one-on-one with Shen Yuan?
Shen Yuan may be an oga, but he was fierce as a warrior.
He not only injured Chairman Mao during his awakener’s test, but he also made the most powerful mage awakener in the country deplete his mana in a single fight.
That should be enough to prove that Shen Yuan is not an herbivore that alphas could easily prey upon.
In this world with a clear line between alpha and oga, Shen Yuan stands out among the rest that differences are nothing but blurred lines.
Other guild masters were convinced, but Mo Lihua was not.
"I still don’t like how this Shen Yuan acts."
Rong Suyin, on the other hand, put on a stern face, "Shen Yuan isn’t the kind who will act pretentiously just to be liked. You don’t need to force yourself to like him."
Mo Lihua squinted her eyes at the oga. She doesn’t have a good opinion of Rong Suyin ever since the marriage between his youngest son and the Bai family’s only son fell through, "Rong Suyin, you.."
"Oh. I’m just saying that my son-in-law is a very genuine and impartial person," Rong Suyin revealed a genuine yet mocking smile towards Mo Lihua. "You know , I favor people like that over those who are slaves to their prejudice."
Mo Lihua’s eyes twitched. Another annoying oga!
And just like that, the conference room resud its tension.
Bai Weisheng and Rong Suyin stayed as representatives of the Baihu Guild, and the latter used this opportunity to protect Shen Yuan. He’s like a tigress protecting his cub throughout the eting.
The people here dared to bully his family. Great! Rong Suyin will show them that Shen Yuan is not the only oga they must watch out for!
Screw those alpha!

While Chairman Mao’s night was restless, Shen Yuan had a great night of sleep.
In fact, he didn’t have the chance to et the capable agents that Chairman Mao sent to him because right after they cleaned their bodies and lay on the bed, he and Yanyan almost automatically drifted to a dream world.
He couldn’t help it.
He was ntally and physically spent, and add the fact that he exhausted an imnse amount of mana of mana, it is only natural that his body shut down once he hit the bed.
Bai Tingfeng, being the number one supportive husband that is, was the one who briefed the newly arrived agents.
He did it as quickly as possible, and in no ti, he was worming his way beside his husband.
The afternoon of the following day, the Bai family was seen publicly.
And just like what is expected, they are both busy tying the loose ends before returning to City B.
From the hotel where they stayed last night, they returned to the Rong Shan Villa for various things.
They need to check the current state of the villa with their very eyes. It was their family’s property. That’s why they must make arrangents to fix it before they go back.
Shen Yuan already read the written report of the total damage caused by the Cardinals, but it wouldn’t hurt if he saw it with his own eyes, right?
Or so he thought.
It didn’t hurt his eyes looking at the ssy aftermath, but his anger towards the Cardinals spiked!
One hundred million yuan! That is the equivalent amount of the damage that they suffered in just one night of attack!
Even if his in-laws don’t mind losing that amount of money, the celestial fox spirit couldn’t help but sweat so tears! That money is sothing he never held, even in his long life!
’Those Cardinals are no different than locusts! They ca fast and razed everything to the ground!’ Shen Yuan internally pulled his hair in a mixed fit of anger and frustration.
Thinking about the ti and money that goes to revitalize this land makes him want to search for the Cardinal’s stronghold and bomb them.
"Say, did I make a wrong decision in letting that pink-haired cardinal escape?" Shen Yuan couldn’t help but ask Bai Tingfeng.
Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng are currently at the site where the mana bomb was presumably planted.
They ca as soon as the Hunter Association’s agents reported this spot in the woodland behind the villa. There, they found destroyed pieces of tal that are assud to be the blasted parts of the mana bomb.
Based on the remains, bomb experts say that it should be small compared to regular plastic bombs, but, thinking about its destructiveness, the phrase "Small but terrible" perfectly describes it.
From the remnants of the mana bombs, Bai Tingfeng’s gaze shifted to his husband. His eyes flashed undisguised skepticism and question.
Did Mo Lihua’s comnts last night affect his prideful and confident husband?
Shen Yuan sensed the ugly aning of his husband’s stare, so he pinched the alpha’s waist. The one that causes goosebumps to anyone who has experienced it.
"Ouch!"
"What’s with that look? Are you thinking that I am wavering? I didn’t regret it in any way. I’m just wondering what your decision would be if you’re in the sa situation."
Bai Tingfeng tried hard to wipe away the smile on his lips, "Ah, I see. It’s great to know you’re not shaken by the harsh treatnt that Guild master Mo of Crimson Guild gave you."
"You jest! Why would that woman shake ? At best, she will beco my motivation later once I burn the non-reusable debris. I will picture her on a stake, burning and writhing like a worm she is." Shen Yuan rolled his eyes. "What’s up with that Mo Lihua anyway?"
"I hope she’s not one of your exes."
Bai Tingfeng’s face almost turned purple. "No way! She’s close to the age of Chairman Mao, Yuan!"
The celestial fox spirit laughed at the scandalized look of his husband.
’That’s what you get from thinking the worst of .’ Shen Yuan playfully thought.
But with all honesty, he did think sothing along that line.
Who wouldn’t when it beca evident how devastating the Cardinal’s powers were?
Those bastards who weren’t perturbed with death are the worst kind of enemies to have.
This is why there’s a part of him that wishes that he had enough ti to kill those two terrorists at that very mont.
"Your mind is straying sowhere again," Bai Tingfeng chided Shen Yuan, pinching the finely shaped nose.
Shen Yuan shooed the alpha’s hand with a cheeky smile. "That’s entirely your fault. You made imagine you with soone else."
Bai Tingfeng looked at his husband and thought, "What if I told him that Mo Lihua is Mo Zhu’s mother? Will he still act unbothered like this?"
But instead, Bai Tingfeng said, "Stop thinking about last night’s incident, Yuan. You made the right decision. We are alive and unhard. That’s the best proof of that."
"Don’t listen to anyone’s word. Just believe in your husband."
Bai Tingfeng held Shen Yuan’s hand, interlocking their fingers.
"Besides, even if they escaped, didn’t you have sothing that would help you trace them?" Bai Tingfeng said aningfully. "I don’t believe that you just let them go without assurance. My aweso husband wouldn’t let others trick him."
"This fucker..."
The celestial fox spirit couldn’t help but smile. Is there anything sweeter than having a husband who genuinely believes in you?
Shen Yuan might also add that he’s loving this thick-faced Bai Tingfeng more than the flushed lover boy version.
"Continue hitting those lines, and I will get the two of us pregnant," Shen Yuan joked.
Bai Tingfeng’s eyes flashed with surprise and happiness, "Co on. Let’s go back. Or let’s stay another day here."
"Fuha!" Shen Yuan burst out laughing. "I’m just kidding! My goodness. I’m not ready to experience M-preg in this life, you know."
Shen Yuan then held his husband’s hand tighter. "And you know what, you’re right. I have sothing that will lead to them. Next ti, it’s our ti to bomb those fuckers up."
