Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 209 206.away From Her..1

ZiXuan had an aloof look on his face as well… even when he saw the expressions of the men surrounding Mu Tianluo change, he still didn’t react, well, this man is not capable of killing him, you see.

Even though he is injured, he can still kill Mu Tianluo before anything happens, and at the core of this structure, no matter how much whitewashing they are trying to do, they are a gang of goons in the underworld of this country… if their leader is killed, he wondered what they will do, will they follow their so-called ‘loyalty‘ and kill him or, will they follow him because he killed the previous head… ZiXuan was confident enough to put all his money on the latter option…. he may not like it, but that man’s blood is still running inside him and isn’t there a famous saying in their world that if you don’t dare to kill your Boss/Head, you don’t deserve to be a part of the gang… well, in the end, they joined this world with their own motives and the survival of the strongest was the mainframe thinking, they didn’t want to stay just as a subordinate forever, right?

Well, ZiXuan had put thought on the matter that they might try to kill Mu Tianluo, not for revenge, but to get the throne… but he had crossed that possibility because these people hadn’t killed him… they need him.

ZiXuan had gained a lot after he left this excruciatingly small cage, and one of it was knowledge… and maybe because he has been too influenced by his Linlin, but he was really calm at the moment…

Thinking about her an unfathomable light crossed his eyes… well, the temporary farewell went really bad and he knew she must be worrying a lot, but because of his own problems, he had to do it….

Well, he low-key wanted her to get over with her problems at a faster pace and take just another step towards their relationship so, that he can take the rest of them… but he won’t say it out loud.

“In the years that I haven’t seen you, you seem to have grown another pair of wings…”, the painfully cold voice of that man reached his ears, bringing him back from his short daydream about her…

His eyes followed the voice and faced the man’s seemingly distant eyes, but with how much of a straight face he has been facing throughout these years, courtesy his Linlin, he could still see that the man was probably at his wit’s end… he wondered just what had happened for this man who seemed to be way above the world to fall into this cheap reality and try to force him, even using petty tricks like triggering his trauma to make him more useful? Well, it was better for him, you see… He was now definite about the fact that he, he had really gained the upper hand in this situation.

He couldn’t help but smirk… even though he looked unpresentable at the moment, his face was still worth paying for to look at and this ridiculing smirk just made him look all the more like a proud dragon who enjoyed looking down on this mortal world.

“It’s not just a few wings… but let’s not waste our times here, just speak”, ZiXuan’s tone was nonchalant… he wasn’t enjoying this situation, well, nobody could complain. You see, the man he thought to be his final form of trauma, his lifelong enemy, was actually using cheap dialogues of an antagonist, from a third rate soap opera to get back at him; even with his thick skin, ZiXuan felt a little embarrassed of having thought of this man as a scary existence in his past… he wondered if this situation had to do something about money, you can call it being too influenced after spending her time with Meilin, but he had also developed a tendency to equate an abnormality with money and economy!!

Well, the other man at least didn’t bore him and continue on the same topics, he started talking and went straight to the point, “You will be engaged to the heiress of the Ivanov family of R-country.”

Even ZiXuan couldn’t react for a second there… but moments later, he was reminded of a news Meilin had said on passing a few days ago…

It was a day or two after they had spoken about his family’s back story, she had simply come up to him and spoken nonchalantly, ” The upper society in R-country are getting a bit restless. I preferably don’t want to interfere….”

ZiXuan had simply heard it because she had spoken about it plus she didn’t continue on the topic and he also decided to not delve into it because of the same…

But thinking about it now, he felt like there was really some underlying currents and Meilin had definitely gotten a hang of it…

He wondered if she had guessed that a situation like this will occur..?

Well, he has overpowered Meilin a bit too much there… for a fact, she liked to collect every single information on her enemies and this was simply just a part of it, her OCD made her find whatever was going on in HK-country and after a few days, she found that the Li conglomerate that Mu Tianluo took under his control was actually a bit related to the upper echelons of R-country… and so, she had did another round of research on them, but back then, she hadn’t wanted to disturb the fine balance and between them all and would have preferred nothing of this sort to happen at all…

Well, nothing goes the way we plan or expect it to, right?

As if to prove it, a man in formal suit urgently knocked on the door and came in.

Mu Tianluo finally had a change in expression after seeing the man.

Nobody cared if he heard this it seems, but the man spoke in an urgent tone, “Boss, Consultant Zhang called and asked you to see a live interview”, his eyes subconsciously turned to get a look at ZiXuan before he continued, “the Qins are at its centre…”

Mu Tianluo frowned, well, this man surnamed Zhang was the consultant of the Li-empire under him and if it was urgent enough for him to ask his own men to disturb him at this time, he guessed that something had definitely happened…

He gave a look to ZiXuan before he took the tablet from his subordinate and opened it…

ZiXuan was slightly taken aback by the news, but he didn’t show up… “Let me hear it as well…”, his voice was fairly authoritative, well, Mu Tianluo had already taken out his cards and he was sure that he had an upper hand plus, he didn’t want to miss a chance to see his girl…

Mu Tianluo didn’t say anything but still went accordingly… it was not because the other person had asked him to, he was trying the stick and carrot method, he was done with the punishment and now he needed to give him some reward…

20 minutes into the interview, Mu Tianluo’s face was cold as ice, intense hatred and killing intent leaking out of them…

ZiXuan, on the other hand, had to do everything in his power to not let the gentle smile out on his face that was threatening to grace his face; you can’t blame it, watching her heroically say something like that… challenging the whole world because of him and even taking a risk at this level, which she would have preferred not to, wasn’t this exhibiting her love for him before the whole world… even a rock would melt and he was already madly in love with her!

Even he didn’t know that he was under pressure, but after hearing her voice, he felt light, as if, the heavy burden he had been unconsciously carrying, finally fell from his shoulders…

He rejoiced when he saw that ugly expression on Mu Tianluo… he had a guess that, if they were playing POKER, he had definitely gotten the hand of ROYAL STRAIGHT FLUSH, just when he had gambled everything on this hand… he had won and he was not being egoistic.

Mu Tianluo took his eyes off the tablet and glared at the ZiXuan, who had a business smile as of now.

He wasn’t sure if he will be able to be a good gang leader, but when it came to business, he could vie for it that, he was leagues beyond these men…

This was his home ground as of now, and he won’t lose any battle!

He was a bit distressed about how injured she was… he really shouldn’t have let her go alone that day.

She was really a bit reckless when he was not here, there was that one-month coma a while ago and now it was this… he will have to finish his business here fast and go back to her…

Yes, he felt this relaxed now… this battle only needed some time; he was sure he won it already!
