Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Is that so..." As someone who had received the Qiongqi gene enhancement, Su You could clearly feel the power this arm could wield, and her eyes brightened: "Not bad, hehe..."

He then continued casually to the chairman, "I thought Karl's hacker was some big shot, but it turns out he's nothing special..."

The chairman stared at him with an icy expression, not continuing the topic, but instead said, "You've made a huge mistake this time."

"Yes, I know I've caused a huge disaster." Su You picked up a gourd of wine that he carried with him and took a big gulp. "But how could I have known that girl would suddenly unleash her power? You know the power of chaos. In that situation, if I hadn't used the power of Qiongqi, neither Lin Ye nor I would have escaped."

"That's because you used a camera box, isn't it?" the chairman said.

"..." Su You had nothing to say.

He didn't expect the chairman to guess it so quickly.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." The chairman said expressionlessly, "I'm temporarily stopping your cell inhibitor this month, consider it punishment."

Su You's expression changed.

"Go back and reflect on your actions." The chairman leaned back.

"...Ha, fine, you win."

Su You sneered, stood up, and turned to leave the office.

Carl just came in from outside, and Su You bumped into him.

Carl glanced at it, then said, "Chairman, regarding..."

Before he could finish speaking, the chairman raised his hand to interrupt him.

He opened the system panel, saw the incoming call information on the panel, and answered the call.

A life-size holographic projection soon appeared in his office.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened last night?" the Golden Spirit Priest said coldly.

"An explanation?" The chairman leaned back steadily and said, "What explanation?"

The Golden Spirit Priest said with a stern face, "Stop playing dumb with me! What was the deal with the Qiongqi power and the Chaos power that appeared last night?!? During the battle against the ferocious beasts, shouldn't your forces have already wiped out all the descendants of the ancient mountain and sea beast race?!?"

The chairman said expressionlessly, "With such a vast territory as the Myriad Races Map, how could I possibly kill off all the descendants of such a massive ancient mountain and sea beast race? There are some with weak bloodlines and unawakened latent bloodlines that even our gene company cannot detect. It's not surprising that they survived."

"You think you can fool me with this kind of rhetoric?" The Golden Spirit Priest sneered. "If they are descendants of the Qiongqi Clan and the Chaos Clan with bloodline purity below 1%, how could they possibly wield the power of ferocious beasts? Everyone knows that your gene company's specialty is gene and cell research."

"Then what do you mean?" The chairman paused. "Do you think I'm secretly raising descendants of the mythical beasts of the mountains and seas, helping them awaken their bloodlines? Do you think the people who appeared last night were my people?"

Golden Spirit Priest: "What do you think?"

The chairman's eyes darkened: "If they really are my men, do you think I'm so stupid as to let my subordinates use the power of ferocious beasts in the city? And why would my men fight each other in the city!"

"Hmph, even if one of them isn't one of yours, the other might be." The Golden Spirit Priest sneered, "If a survivor with the power of a ferocious beast appeared, I could call it a coincidence, but two of them at once! And two of the four ferocious beasts at that! Do you think I would believe that such a coincidence could happen in this world?"

"..."

"We appointed you as the president of the Light Alliance because we value your loyalty and devotion to the gods." The Golden Spirit Priest gave him a deep look: "Don't think that the things you do behind the gods' backs in private will go unnoticed!"

"If you want to sue me, please provide evidence." The chairman remained calm and said indifferently, "My piety towards the gods is evident to heaven and earth. I have always worked diligently for the gods, and I have a clear conscience."

"..."

The chairman and the Golden Spirit Priest locked eyes, staring at each other coldly.

"Hmph! What a fine claim of having a clear conscience!" said the Golden Spirit Priest. "Descendant, don't think you're truly the chosen one. A god can grant you an unparalleled position, but can also make you lose everything in an instant!"

After saying that, the holographic projection communication ended.

Karl said slowly, "It seems our plan is not far from being exposed. When that happens, the Temple of the High Priests probably won't let us off the hook..."

"It doesn't matter, the date predicted by Heaven is not far off." The chairman said, "Speed ​​up the mission, concentrate all available funds of the company on deciphering the collected alien beast genes, and at the same time speed up the process of obtaining the remaining alien beast genes."

“Yes,” Karl said. “The plan to retrieve the Phoenix is ​​almost complete. Tianhao has also sent word back. So, who should we send this time?”

“Hmm…” The chairman pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the orc Am: “Am, this time you and Wei Shitian (Taotie) will go together.”

The orc Am grinned foolishly: "Okay."

......

Late at night, early in the morning.

The Royal Noble Hotel had a pitch-black room.

Ye Ge and Xia Xiyao were lying on the same bed.

Ye Ge was quite helpless, unable to move on the bed.

Xia Xiyao was like a koala, completely wrapped around Ye Ge with her arms and legs, her arms around Ye Ge's neck, and one long leg around Ye Ge's waist, with a happy and sweet smile on her face, as if she was afraid that her most beloved toy would run away.

The white-blooded spirit, in its cat form, lay on top of a bookshelf not far away, occasionally yawning sleepily, and sometimes opening its eyes to glance at Ye Ge and Xia Xiyao's condition on the bed.

"Xiaoye, can you tell me another story?"

Xia Xiyao hugged Ye Ge tightly, bringing her face close to his, and blinked her eyes: "I love the feeling of hearing your voice in my ear."

"..." Yege smiled bitterly.

This is the fourteenth story he's told tonight...

He originally said he would come to sleep with Xia Xiyao tonight and coax her to sleep.

But now three hours have passed, and the girl shows no signs of sleepiness; she remains energetic.

"Xiyao, it's time to sleep." Yege patted the girl's head and said softly, "You're a patient, and you've already been getting plenty of rest and sleep. If I keep talking, you'll have even less time to sleep."

“But…” Xia Xiyao pouted, looking into Ye Ge’s eyes in the darkness, and whispered, “I finally have this opportunity to chat with Ye Ge in the same bed. If I close my eyes, Ye Ge will leave again when I open them… I… I can’t bear to sleep.”

Night Song: "..."
