Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 454: Fifth World: Airing Sect Leader Zhao's Dirty Laundry

Sect leader Zhao stared deep into those obsidian eyes that shone with a mesmerizing brilliance that could easily draw one's soul out of their body. His face was red as the veil of death hovered above his head.

He had failed this disciple so many times and discarded him like a used condom once he got what he needed. He knew he was playing with fire but Qie Ranzhe's excellence kept him chipping at his disciple till he let him go after realising his disciple was about to discover his true nature.

This is why he not only expelled Qie Ranzhe from the Zhao sect but he also incited other sect leaders to not accept him into their sects after painting the most heinous picture of him. His plan worked but he underestimated Qie Ranzhe. What he didn't realise is that one can never suppress greatness.

Like the brightest star Betelgeuse, just because one can't see it every single night doesn't mean it's no longer the brightest and biggest star anymore. But of course, this sect leader didn't know this.

Now the very same disciple he discarded in the garbage disposal had not only built a rich powerful sect, acquired the heavenly divine rings but he was also much more powerful than any of the elders present. This meant none of them could rescue him from this predicament neither could he save himself. What terrible luck he had stumbling into these two brothers from hell.

A devilish smile crept up on Qie Ranzhe's face as he squeezed the man's neck tighter resembling a demon from the deepest part of hell.

"Sect leader Zhao, I highly suggest you start talking otherwise I will hand down a punishment crueller than death," he said before loosening the grip on the man's neck. People like sect leader Zhao care more about their appearance than anything else.

They would rather die with a great reputation than live with their dirty laundry aired out for the entire world to see. As soon as Qie Ranzhe said this the sect leader's pupils constricted and he unconsciously struggled.

The elders outside the barrier who were throwing all they had at the hurdle trying to rescue him stopped their attacks. That is to say, it wasn't a soundproof barrier but of course, sect leader Zhao was too horror-stricken to notice.

Machu strode over to pick up the worm tied up by the soul suppressing chain that was trying to wiggle away. He knew the man couldn't go far but he didn't want him to upset Qie Ranzhe who might accidentally roast him out of annoyance.

They still needed this man to lead them to his boss's evil layer which is to say they didn't really need sect leader Zhao's help but why would Qie Ranzhe pass up the opportunity to screw with his former master.

"All your dirty little secretssss....," whispered Machu with a sly smile as he picked up the wiggly worm while staring at sect leader Zhao with disgust in his eyes. They looted the Qie family treasure and basically got away with it saying this is what my disciple would have wanted.

If he weren't weak at that time he would have dug out the man's heart and see how black it was. Sect leader Zhao could only glare at Machu with his red eyes but even that didn't faze the man. It was like being glared at by a frog which would be effective if Machu was a fly.

"Do you want me to tell them about your dealings with the demonic sect or maybe the identity behind the brothel in the northern city? How about the real reason your outer disciples were skinned and hung in a tree? Or how Zhao Zhi is not your son but a disciple you took advantage o-...," said Qie Ranzhe with his grip on the sect leader's neck getting subconsciously tighter.

"I, I kno-know whe-where argh.... uh...," spoke sect leader Zhao desperate to protect his reputation. If his scandals were exposed to the world he wouldn't be able to recover from them. He was immersed in saving face that he didn't notice the ugly expressions on the elders.

Knowing that the man he trusted all these years not only betrayed him but also betrayed Zhao Zhi pretending to be his father while using his hair and nails to refine pills to grow his cultivation made Qie Ranzhe feel sick in the stomach.

If Qie Anzhie hadn't scared sect leader Zhao to restrain himself what would have happened the moment this sect leader felt like he needed to advance faster. This vile man had no bottom line and would have taken things further. The furthest he would have gone would have been determined by how much power he desired.

He hated his vile half brother but at least he bought him time otherwise who knows what kind of abuse Zhao Zhi would have been subjected to. 

Qie Ranzhe's grip loosened letting him speak. The sect leader coughed vigorously while dragging his body backwards putting some distance between him and Qie Ranzhe. His entire body was trembling eyeing Qie Ranzhe with obvious hate in his eyes.

He rubbed his sore throat while saying, "I will tell you but..... we have to sign a tongue binding contract. As long as you sign agreeing to never mention such things I, I will tell you," in a taut voice. He knew this was a long shot but he had to try.

As expected, Qie Ranzhe found it rather amusing as a sinister haughty chuckle escaped his throat causing goosebumps to break out all over sect leader Zhao's body. 

"It's incredibly funny how you think you are in the position to bargain with me," said Qie Ranzhe before his smile sank replaced by a grim expression that made the older man tremble in fright, "Speak!"

This loud roar echoed in the main hall as he clutched at the man's collar in anger. "His mo-mother's grave, east, east of herein, in the bamboo forest," explained the sect leader terrified out of his mind.

The murderous aura surrounding Qie Ranzhe was enough to frighten him into wetting his pants. He would rather face a high-level spiritual beast at this moment. At least then he would have a fighting chance unlike when facing Qie Ranzhe.

Qie Ranzhe slammed the sect leader's head on the floor before standing up to leave. He had achieved his goal and didn't have any more time to waste with this righteous prick. The longer he spent apart from Zhao Zhi the more unsettled he felt. He had to see him, touch him and kiss him to settle the tumult in his heart.

Maybe it was because they had a child together or maybe because he was his first which made him feel this way. He found he couldn't think straight ever since Zhao Zhi disappeared. This feeling of losing control was especially upsetting which is why he would offend and kill whoever stood in his way.
