My Villainous Wife - Chapter 161
In the past, Yan Xiaoran took the hits from her bullies during high school without a word. She was too scared and alone that no one dared to be on her side and fight beside her.
Hence, during her few years in high school, all of that was spent in either studying hard, starving herself, and being bullied from both outside and inside the house.
At that time, the Zhao family also didn’t spare her from their games. Wherever she went, she would be targeted by the people who wanted her to suffer. And because she was chained by her responsibilities as a daughter and student, she let herself be restrained.
But the past and present were different now.
She was a survivor and stronger than before.
“Yi Yun, I don’t care if you speak ill of me and call me names. But I won’t allow you to call my daughter a sŀut. If I hear you one more time say that in front of my face or behind my back, I will make sure you won’t be able to use your mouth for a very long time.” Yan Xiaoran warned her before she completely opened the car door, making Yi Yun who was the closest to the car drag herself backward to avoid the car door hitting her face.
Without sparing them a second look, Yan Xiaoran turned her car away from that place and away from these toxic people.
…
Meanwhile, in Alexander’s office. After getting Yan Xiaoran’s reply, he went into his busy mode and everyone around him was all tense.
“B-boss, this is the file on what we researched about the founder of the Black Organization.” Black Falcon put the file on top of the desk. When he saw that Alexander nodded his head and didn’t try to snap at him, he quickly went over to the corner, away from him.
Just like Black Falcon, everyone was on their guard. Not because their enemies were outside the gates, but because one mistake on their side and their boss would definitely focus his anger on them.
The Black Organization has been quite a headache to Alexander and the Red Flame. Consisting of mercenaries who were employed by one person, the organization rose up from the dust and tackled several top armed groups.
In the end, they occupied the top 5 best and fearful organizations in the world.
Putting other matters down, Alexander opened the file. It was still the same information he got 2 years ago. The founder was a woman who appeared out of nowhere and created the organization out of nothing. She recruited several mercenaries and paid them for their worths. People may think that these mercenaries would leave after getting the money, but after a month or a year, they stayed with the organization.
Some signed a 10-year contract with the organization, but most didn’t sign it. Instead, they signed the life-term contract where they would serve under the organization until the end.
But surprisingly, instead of the same words glaring back at him, Alexander found one new information in the file that Black Falcon handed over to him.
While he was reading, the door to his office opened again. A smiling youth came in and when he saw Alexander smirking at the paper in his hand, the man said excitedly, “Third Brother! What are you looking at that made you smile wickedly like that?”
Alexander coldly glanced at the man, “Long Jie…”
“Yes, third bro?”
“Do you still receive that invitation card I handed over to you two years ago?” Alexander asked.
Two years ago, Alexander didn’t have the time to attend the annual Gathering. He still get the special invitation card that was specially created for him, but he let Long Jie get them in his place and use it for his own uses.
Scratching his head, he replied, “Uh…”
Long Jie tried to remember which invitation card it was. Alexander gave him dozens from different parties and gatherings, and thus, he didn’t know what card he was talking about.
Alexander stared at him and sighed, “The one with the black envelope and gold lacing.” Long Jie tilted his head, still couldn’t remember which card it was.
“It’s the gathering where Reo also got an invitation yearly.”
“Ah! The Gathering of Fools!”
Alexander: “…”
“The Gathering of Fools? I don’t remember being any part of that kind of gathering. Were you mistaken or pranked by someone again, Long Jie?” Alexander added.
Long Jie guffawed and waved his hand dismissively, “Nope. This year I wasn’t scammed by anyone. Anyway, it was indeed the gathering where fools gathered. Can you believe it! Some young master from an unknown family tried to get into fist fight with First Brother! It was hilarious when First Bro sent that guy to the hospital.”
Seeing how speechless his third brother has become, Long Jie couldn’t help but feel smug about it. After all, his third brother was the only one among five brothers who didn’t know that the annual Gathering for big names and powerful people was actually the Gathering of Fools, renamed by Master Reo.
Reo, being the most hot-headed among all five brothers, couldn’t take any offense when people try to get on his bad side. The reason why people who conducted several parties didn’t invite him was also because they feared him and scared of what he might do in the party, hence, they dare not send an invitation to him and secretly sent out the invitation to others.
On the other hand, the annual Gathering finally opened their doors two years ago. They sent out the invitation to Reo and let him have fun at the party. The only problem was, last year, Reo also didn’t get to control his anger and beat someone up again.
But surprisingly, the organizer of the party didn’t exclude him from receiving the invite from them. They still reached out to him and sent an invitation.
“But why are you asking me that now, brother? Are you going to attend this year?” Long Jie merely asked out of curiosity, but deep inside him, he wished that his third brother wouldn’t come.
Unfortunately, what he was wishing didn’t come true as Alexander told him, “There’s someone I want to meet there. Arrange whatever arrangements must be done now.”
