Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at Wang Xiao’s unbearably agitated expression, Lin Xiang’s first reaction was that something big was about to happen. However, it was undeniable that Wang Xiao’s words indeed made his heart surge with hot blood.

Not long ago, wasn’t Lin Xiang also as high-spirited as Wang Xiao? It was only later that he was pressed to the ground by life and his edges were smoothed out that he developed his current tactful personality.

Perhaps Wang Xiao would become like him in the future, but not now.

Just as Lin Xiang was distracted, Wang Xiao had already arrived in front of Shen Tianlin and said coldly, “This is your last chance. Are you going to change it or not?”

Shen Tianlin stared fixedly at Wang Xiao, clearly angry. “Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? Even if I let you have your wish this time, can you guarantee that you won’t interact with the Lord’s Shop in the future?”

“But if I don’t do this, do you think there will be a ‘later!?”

Wang Xiao replied coldly and then smiled strangely at Shen Tianlin. “Moreover, I have no choice. You’re a smart person. You should know. Can you understand

Shen Tianlin took a few deep breaths and finally restrained his angry aura.

“Explain to them first and let them disperse before we talk.”

“Change the contents of the contract first before I explain.”

Wang Xiao replied without hesitation. His voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm.

“Impossible!”

Shen Tianlin rejected without thinking. “This is a condition personally proposed by the boss. I can’t make the decision!”

“So there’s nothing to talk about?”

Wang Xiao shrugged casually and turned to face the crowd. “Everyone! I…”

“Wait a minute!”

Shen Tianlin hurriedly pulled Wang Xiao back and lowered his voice to discuss, “Let’s each take a step back. Explain and disperse the crowd first. I’ll bring you to see the boss!”

“Meet the boss?”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows. “Can we change the contract back after seeing the boss?”

“I don’t know. It depends on how you talk to the boss—”

Before Shen Tianlin could finish speaking, he realized that Wang Xiao was about to shout again. He could not be bothered to breathe and hurriedly said, “I’ll help you! Before you see the boss, I’ll help you negotiate first! This is the best I can do!”

Wang Xiao did not directly express his stance when he heard this. Instead, he looked at Lin Xiang, who had just come over. Seeing the other party nod, he agreed. “Then let’s do as you say.”

Then, Wang Xiao explained this “misunderstanding” to the crowd, but he did not say anything definite. He only said that the person who was preparing the contract might have made a mistake in his work. He wanted to find the person-in-charge to confirm it again and thanked everyone for standing up for him.

Then, Shen Tianlin took the opportunity to explain a few more words. He only said that this was a misunderstanding and that he was extremely sorry for disturbing everyone.

However, those who could watch the show here were all important customers. They might not be very smart, but they were definitely not fools.

When they heard this, they knew that the two sides were prepared to settle it privately. Although the problem had not been completely resolved, there was definitely no more excitement to watch now. Hence, they whispered to each other and dispersed.

Seeing this, Shen Tianlin finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, when he saw Wang Xiao again, his expression darkened. “I’m really unlucky to have been sent to deal with you!”

“Minister Shen, you’re too kind.”

Wang Xiao chuckled and was not angry. After all, when he had just awakened the [Beast Tamer Lord] talent, he had heard worse words than this and had long stopped taking such things to heart.

However, Lin Xiang still felt that the atmosphere was a little off. He took the initiative to change the topic and probe, “Minister Shen, can I be lucky enough to follow you when you go to see the boss?”

Shen Tianlin glanced at Wang Xiao. “You traitor! You still want to see the boss?”

Lin Xiang shrank his neck and did not dare to speak. Wang Xiao suddenly said,

“Let Manager Lin come along.”

Without waiting for Shen Tianlin to speak, Wang Xiao shook the [Gold Contract] in his hand again. “This isn’t a discussion.”

“You!”

Shen Tianlin was furious, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly. “Follow me!”

With that said, Shen Tianlin angrily walked to the front and led the way. His footsteps made banging sounds as if he was venting his anger on the innocent ground.

Wang Xiao and Lin Xiang looked at each other and hurriedly followed. Lin Xiang’s expression was clearly a little excited. “Brother Wang, I’m not afraid of making a fool of myself. I’ve worked in the Lord’s Shop for more than ten years and have even been the branch manager for six to seven years. I’ve never seen the boss before!”

“Never met the boss?”

Wang Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this, but on second thought, he felt that it was normal.

Just like how a general would not know every soldier, the Lord’s Shop had been opened almost as long ago as lords had appeared. There were at least 8,000 branches all over the Blue Planet.

Lin Xiang, the branch manager, was quite famous in Kaiyang City, but in the headquarters of the Lord’s Shop, he was only one of the ordinary few thousand branch managers. He might not even be ranked in the middle.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao suddenly felt that Lin Xiang was a little pitiful. He had guarded Kaiyang City conscientiously for more than ten years, but he did not even know who he was working for.

This was even inferior to ordinary soldiers in the military. At least they still knew who their commander was.

As he thought to himself, the two of them had already followed Shen Tianlin past the storage area and returned to the transportation area filled with [Ancient Teleportation Gate].

Seeing Shen Tianlin walk towards one of the [Ancient Teleportation Gates], Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly shouted, “Minister Shen! You aren’t bringing us into the [Ancient Teleportation Gate] to find a quiet place to deal with us, right?”

“I wish, but there’s no need.”

As Shen Tianlin spoke, he stopped in front of the door and turned to look at Wang Xiao impatiently. “This small matter is not worth my time. If you want to see the boss, follow quickly!”

With that said, Shen Tianlin directly walked into the [Ancient Teleportation Gate]. Wang Xiao subconsciously wanted to ask for Lin Xiang’s opinion, but he suddenly remembered that the other party had never seen the boss before. He could only sigh helplessly and follow him warily.

After a spatial distortion, Wang Xiao discovered that he had arrived at a spacious room. Although it was empty and there were no decorations, he could still sense that the owner of this room was a person with high requirements for his quality of life.

Looking around, Wang Xiao frowned.

He remembered that Lin Xiang had previously said that those [Ancient Teleportation Gates] were connected to various branches on the Blue Planet, and the internal structure of the various branches was the same.

However, this exquisite room in front of him did not look like the seventh floor of the Lord’s Shop at all. At least, there were no stairs leading down here.

Before Wang Xiao could figure out what was going on, Lin Xiang also walked out of the [Ancient Teleportation Gate]. When he saw this exquisite room, he was also stunned. Clearly, he had the same doubts as Wang Xiao.

“What is this place?”

Wang Xiao could tell that Lin Xiang was also a little surprised and simply asked, “Didn’t you say that the internal structure of all the branches of the Lord’s Shop is the same?”

Lin Xiang nodded with a strange expression. Before he could speak, a female voice suddenly said lazily, “The internal structure of the branches is indeed the same, but this is my house..”
