Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 462: Fifth World: Raging Demon King

There is no greater pain than knowing that all your plans for the past few years were all for nothing. It's like a pregnant woman carrying around a big belly for nine months only to be told its gas after going through labour pains.

Imagine all that energy you expanded into making your dream a reality was flushed down the toilet in a matter of seconds. This is the reason why Miyu Ren was throwing the world's greatest tantrum.

He gave up Zhao Zhi even offering him to his apprentice because the king was still alive and he was the former king's only offspring but it turned out he was misled. The current merman king was only related to the former king by marriage. The true heir was the queen who should have been his target from the very beginning.

This was a perfect example of when a player gets played and he was played real good. Miyu Ren had completely lost that calm demeanour of his transforming into a deranged lunatic.

Like a sinister fiend, he appeared in front of the king in an instant and picked him up by his neck.

His long sharp nails dug deep into the merman king's skin drawing blood.

The merman king grimaced in pain but he didn't dare make a sound. He was weaker in comparison to this demon king but he was a man of pride. If he was to die he would die with dignity.

When he was asked that question three decades ago he made a conscious decision to claim he was the former king's son to reap the benefits on the backs of his people. It was because of his own selfish desires that he sacrificed young virgins with no second thought. He would gain immortality and hold on to this position of power.

But he didn't know that he had also been deceived. If he had known he was being used as a cauldron he would have given up his queen a long time ago.

Looking at the stubborn look in the merman king's eyes, Miyu Ren's lips twitched. He strengthened his grip with the glint in the merman king's eyes growing faint as he struggled.

"Did you enjoy deceiving me for all these years, huh? Is that it?" he said with a hair-raising ambience surrounding him. The merman king's face turned red as his tail swayed violently. He felt his life being sucked away with each passing moment. He was a dead man but he still wanted to live.

In a desperate attempt to save his insignificant life he said, "I, I wi-will take.... take you to her."

Miyu Ren's mouth showed an unsightly sneer as he gripped even tighter. The killing intent emanating from the demon king was enough to suffocate even Qie Anzhie who was trying by any means necessary to stay out of his master's way.

A violent gust of wind appeared out of nowhere as his appearance began to change. The wind stirred up a strong turbulence in the water as a sinister dark mist enveloped his body. His nails grew longer resembling beastly claws and his canines lengthened modifying his appearance. With a loud roar, he flung the king's body towards a pillar.

With a loud thud, the merman's body hit the pillar accompanied by the cracking sound of bone. Before he could even get up, Miyu Ren was right in front of him again with a dark mist emitting from the palm of his hand.

The demon king stretched out his hand and the dark mist left his palm coiling around the merman's body restraining him. His body was suddenly lifted in the air as Miyu Ren ambled over seething in anger.

He placed his hand on the merman king's shoulder and said, "Take me to her this instant."

The merman king nodded vigorously as he helplessly watched the demon king rub the blood off his neck with his thumb and lick it like a perverted beast. He broke out in a cold sweat as he gulped in trepidation.

"Still so tasty," said Miyu Ren licking his thumb once more leaving behind a red stain on his lower lip. This image was befitting of his baleful demonic character making the merman king's blood run cold.

While the merman king was buying time for himself by selling out his wife, the queen herself had woken up with a start. Her pleasant dreams had suddenly turned nightmarish warning her that something bad was about to happen.

She rose from her slumber and grabbed her interspatial ring and a pendant she had been working on from her jewellery box.

She had already prepared an exit strategy for her son and grandson for this exact kind of situation. She didn't care what would happen to her as long as her family could get out safely. She would rather die than have anything happen to her babies.

She hurriedly entered their bedroom planning to wake them up but what she found had her wanting to pull her hair out in anger. "You!...." she said when she saw the man obsessively watching her son while he was sleeping.

How and when he got here she didn't know upgrading her anger to full-blown rage. The two mermen were woken up by a loud slap that was ever so familiar to them. Qie Xieling's cheek tingled recalling that slap his grandma gave him when they first met. It seemed her anger wasn't satiated the last time so she slapped him with no reservations.

Let's analyze why the mermaid was still pissed. Well, besides impregnating the future king of her race Qie Ranzhe let the most important people to her out of his sight. That is to say, she expected him to protect them with his life but he failed. What she failed to realise was that it was all her fault that they were here in the first place. That's what happens when she's angry. She seemed to have the memory of a goldfish when angered.

When the second slap fell Wen Qinxi had to intervene. He tried to calm her down while Qie Xieling was cringing at the red cheek on his father's face. "I understand what you are going through. It stings, right?" he whispered to his father still not asking the important question which was why was his father here?

Qie Ranzhe, "...."

"Ma.... you can't beat him. It's all in the past plus when you hurt him you are hurting me too," he explained feeling his chest tighten from the pain.

He didn't like seeing Qie Ranzhe hurt even when the person was actually protecting him. This degree of empathy was something accumulated over four worlds.

This man was his love, his life that is to say if anything happens to Qie Ranzhe he genuinely doesn't know what he would do.

"Tsk..... let me tell you something honey, you don't have to be with the one you slept with first. It's not a prerequisite.... especially if he is a jerk. He always takes, takes and takes everything from you but has he ever given you anything?" she said speaking from her heart.
