Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 455: Fifth World: Machu Does The Heavy Lifting While Others Flirt

As Qie Ranzhe and his entourage exited the main hall, Dai Yu took out her whip and whipped at the sect leader ripping out a piece of his flesh. The cracking sound of the whip made the elders suck in a cold breath of air with sect leader Zhao wailing in pain while cursing Dai Yu.

"You bitch.... AAAAAHHHHH! I am going to fuckin kill you," he said threatening Dai Yu but she wasn't moved.

She looked down at her scarlet red nails and said, "Oh, okay dumbass. Come find me after they are done with punishing your righteous ass.... ha haha, ah!" The squirm came out after Shao Lan came back and carried her over his shoulders. He had only taken two steps outside the main hall when he found out that Dai Yu wasn't behind him. If gloating was money then she would be the richest woman in the entire universe.

Dai Yu's words made sect leader Zhao's heart cease beating for a second. He honestly thought Qie Ranzhe's barrier was soundproof as most are but it turned out his former disciple had tricked him. His business had been aired out to the world right in front of everyone and there was no going back.

"Ahem, he... uh," he said as he stood up rubbing his sore neck trying to use his charisma to smooth things over but there was no way of ironing out these permanent creases on his reputation. It was already too late.

A whole load of judgemental eyes stared at him making him livid. "How dare you judge me when you also have secrets. Like elder Lee's sex addiction or elder Zhang's unethical breeding of spiritual beasts.... hey what, what are you doing?" he said as he watched all the disciples exit the main hall and the door close slowly as the last disciple exited the room.

He knew what this meant. They were going to start his trial and because he knew a lot about other elders it meant that they would rather shut him up by speeding up his conviction.

"I motion we issue a gagging order on sect leader Zhao and these proceedings as we launch an investigation," explained sect leader Zhang assuming the leader's position.

This was the disadvantage of unifying their sects. They could hold each other accountable and elect a new leader for the Zhao sect without any obstacles. But of course, sect leader Zhao wouldn't take things lying down. He already had a plan in place to aid his escape.

While sect leader Zhao was plotting for his freedom, Qie Ranzhe had arrived at the gravesite in the bamboo forest. Machu tossed the still tied up man in front of Qie Ranzhe before sitting down on a boulder complaining. "Why am I always the one doing the heavy lifting? All you two do is flirt while I am doing all the dirty work. It was me who had to deal with Mingxia now this guy," said Machu glaring at Shao Lan who hadn't put down Dai Yu yet.

"Excuse me, please enlighten me on how you dealt with Mingxia, huh? Hey.... turn, turn me back around I am trying to have a face-slapping moment... no wait, put me down," said Dai Yu when Shao Lan turned around making her face the empty forest instead of Machu that is before she realised she should be asking to be put down instead of making him turn back around.

Shao Lan was just acting as a peacemaker but the words flirt made him feel uncomfortable placing Dai Yu on the ground like dropping a hot potato.

"I was about to slice and dice her but who would have thought she would pull a fast one on me?" replied Machu before picking up a rock and throwing it at the man who was wiggling away again.

"Argh!" groaned the man as the rock accurately struck his head successfully making him motionless.

"So you with all your might got outsmarted by a mere mortal?" she said pushing those buttons to cover up her embarrassment for being carried around like a rag doll.

The two quarrelled for a good while with Shao Lan right in the middle of it. This argument could have gone on forever if it wasn't for the blood-curdling screams coming from the man they had captured. Qie Ranzhe had drawn out the flaming black calamity and cut the man a cut so deep it could penetrate the soul.

"If he is not here then tell me where I can find him," said Qie Ranzhe with the flaming black calamity hovering above the man with its tip pointing at the man's eye. Qie Ranzhe knew the demon associated with his brother was the one who opened the realm that Zhao Zhi came from. This is why he wanted to find him and use whatever means necessary to gain access to that realm.

He couldn't be sure that he would find Qie Xieling and Zhao Zhi there but if they weren't then he would find the queen to help him find them. These two were the most important people in his life and he would do anything to find them.

The man shook his head quivering in fright. He didn't know where Qie Anzhie's layer was. All he knew was that the man would show up whenever he needed him. Unlike sect leader Zhao, he didn't even know about this gravesite. His job was to make sure the sect leader didn't touch Zhao Zhi and that no one got too close to him. He didn't know why he was given such a task neither did he ask questions. He was in it for the benefits that's all.

Now faced with this bloodthirsty man with a sinister air around him, he felt like this job wasn't particularly worth it. Who would have thought adult sitting one man could be this dangerous? 

Qie Ranzhe closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply suppressing the pain and anger spilling out. It had become particularly obvious that this man had no idea of Qie Anzhie's whereabouts which meant he was useless.

Deep breaths weren't enough to hold back the fiery storm stirring up within him. He clenched his fist as his voice echoed in his mind, "He's useless, he's fuckin useless."

Just then Qie Ranzhe felt a familiar presence. The presence of his enemy approaching at light speed. With a fling of his arm, he had black calamity behead the man as he leapt up to meet Qie Anzhie.

Qie Anzhie barely dodged the vicious attack by his half brother. He spun out of control because he came flying at orb speed. Qie Ranzhe took advantage of this successfully striking him in the chest knocking him out of the sky.

This caused Qie Anzhie to land on his mother's grave shattering the memorial tablet to pieces making him lose his mind completely.
