Chapter 288: Chapter 239, Who is better_1
By the time they reached Black Stone Town, dusk had fallen.
The journey that was supposed to take four days, was over in half an hour.
The Phantom Train was indeed a useful special item.
Wu Heng gazed at Black Stone Town in the distance.
Compared to Lundham City, it seemed much smaller.
As he approached the town walls, the guards eyeing him suspiciously.
After presenting the Association’s credentials, he was unopposedly let in by the guards.
…
The Association, Executive Office.
Knock, knock, knock~!
A gentle knock on the door, and Slyther’s voice was heard from inside, “Come in!”
He opened the door and walked straight in.
Slyther looked up, seeing Wu Heng, she first looked surprised, then delighted.
Then she quickly collected her smile and asked, “What brings you here?”
Wu Heng came in, sat down on a sofa, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, “Just missed you.”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Slyther quickly looked at the door, then asked, “Is the Money Cat’s work done? Didn’t you say you’d write to me when it was all set?”
Having said that, Slyther immediately reacted and asked uncertainly, “Have you received your appointment? Otherwise, how do you find the time to come here?”
What a quick-witted woman.
Wu Heng took a sip of tea, nodded with a smile, “Yes, the appointment letter is down, and now I’m the vice-executive.”
“Did you come to show off?” Slyther raised an eyebrow.
“No! The position assigned to me is called Gold and Silver Island, have you heard of it?”
Slyther frowned slightly, thinking about the location of Gold and Silver Island.
Then she pulled out a map from the drawer and carefully compared it, her face growing more and more unpleasant.
She looked up at him, and asked with a seeming confirmation in her tone, “The Gold and Silver Island in the Dazzling Sea?”
“Yes, it seems to be an island in the sea.”
Slyther beckoned, Wu Heng got up and walked over, standing beside her.
Slyther pointed at an island in the vast sea on the map, “Gold and Silver Island.”
The map was one of those old linear patterns, but the marked locations were very clear.
Around the Gold and Silver Island were many individual small islands, seemingly part of an archipelago.
“What a headache, to establish a division in such a place.” Wu Heng muttered under his breath.
Slyther ignored him and said to herself, “The Gold and Silver Island, a rich maritime land, located on the sea route, full of wealth.”
Wu Heng stood beside her, his hand on her shoulder, and asked, “Which country owns it? Do they reject Undead Mages?”
Slyther picked up her tea, then put it down, lightly brushed his arm, and said, “They probably don’t reject Undead Mages, and as for its nationality, well…, it’s pirate territory.”
Wu Heng was taken aback and asked in return, “The Association has branches in pirate territory?”
“Normally they wouldn’t, but since you’re being transferred there, that means they do.”
“Damn it!”
Slyther took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, and said, “What’s going on with you? Why are you always assigned to such chaotic places?”
Wu Heng defended himself, “I wanted to stay in Lundham City as vice-executive, I don’t know why they assigned me there.”
Slyther sighed, frowned, and thought for a moment, then said, “The executive’s evaluation has a significant impact on the movement of members. Given the strength you displayed in Lundham City, I would have also assigned you elsewhere, as far away as possible.”
Wu Heng frowned and immediately knew what she meant.
His power made Gomez feel threatened. It would be hard to control him if he stayed in Lundham City as a vice-executive.
Moreover, the issue with the Hammer Party affected him even more.
When the Executive silently left, it was Wu Heng who maintained the order of the Association for a period of time.
Inside the Association, the staff’s attitude towards Wu Heng was clearly more trustworthy and enthusiastic.
Of course, they wouldn’t allow him to stay.
Even though Wu Heng hinted in his application that he wanted to stay in Lundham City, Gomez would have transferred him to a place far away.
Even if Gomez had no malice towards Wu Heng, he was just trying to reduce the threat and pressure on himself.
“Now that the appointment has been given, there’s no other way.” Wu Heng said.
Slyther leaned against him and whispered softly, “It’s okay, since the Association has established the branch and is transferring people there, it means they can ensure the safety of the staff.”
Wu Heng’s arm that was around her shoulder fell naturally onto her knee, “Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. But leaving Lundham City, I’m a little worried about what happens there.”
“Hmm!” Slyther hummed lightly, looked down at his hand on her knee, grabbed it, “Don’t cross the line, you’ve wrinkled my clothes. How are you planning to manage Lundham City?”
“I’ll groom one of my subordinates to manage it for me, and you’ll have to take more trouble with the Money Cat.”
Slyther looked up at him, “A woman?”
“Yes! One of the maids I made contract with while cleaning up the gang members, she can be fully trusted.”
Slyther smirked and threw off his hand.
Wu Heng leaned in, whispering in her ear, “What? Are you jealous? I love you the most.”
Slyther’s face turned even redder.
Just as she was about to speak, the sound of bouncing footsteps came from outside the door.
Slyther’s face changed, she pushed him under the desk.
At the same time, the door opened, Yuli came bouncing in, plopped down on the sofa and said, “Auntie, when are you going home, huh? Is it hot today? Your face is so red.”
Slyther tugged at her collar, “I don’t know why, but it feels really hot today.”
“Aunt, when are we going back to Lundham City? There’s nothing interesting here.”
Slyther frowned, saying, “All you know is to have fun. Wu Heng is already a Vice-executive, and you’re still a team member without any merits.”
“Ah? He’s been appointed? When did you get the news?” Yuli leaned forward, asking curiously.
“Judging by the time, it should be more or less confirmed now.” Slyther said, subconsciously crossing her legs, clasping her mischievous hands.
“Oh!” Yuli pulled out a piece of candy from her small bag, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth, “Are we going home together?”
Slyther lifted her gaze from under the table, and said, “You go first, I’ll go back when I’m done.”
“Why not finish it tomorrow?”
“Go, go, go! Don’t annoy me here.”
Yuli pouted her lips, turned around with her hands behind her back, and left the study.
“Close the door.”
“Oh!” Yuli turned back and closed the door.
…
After Yuli left, Wu Heng crawled out from under the table.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulled her up from her seat, and passionately kissed her.
Slyther struggled slightly, then gradually gave in.
After they had been kissing for a while, noticing that their clothes were gradually being removed, she pulled away and said, “Here again? There’s a guard on duty tonight, let’s find another place.”
Wu Heng certainly didn’t want to ruin Slyther’s reputation in the city.
“Where to then?”
“Get dressed. Follow me!”
As the sky gradually darkened, the two of them left the guild and headed straight for a mansion.
Slyther took out a key, opened the door, and went in.
Wu Heng followed, “This is your house?”
“It’s yours. Yazde left it for you. You’re acting like a fool.”
As the door closed, Wu Heng lifted her up in his arms, “Who are you calling a fool?”
“The bedroom is over there.”
Slyther, wrapped around him, staggered into the bedroom while continuing to kiss him.
They both collapsed on the bed.
Slyther used some strength from her waist, pushed him directly onto the duvet, picked up a ribbon from the side, blindfolded him, and said, “Don’t move.”
She then began to leisurely undress herself and him.
She put on a black corset, and climbed onto the bed.
Through the not-so-tight blindfold, some of her soft, fair, and plump body could be vaguely seen. As she moved, it wobbled enticingly.
The corset seemed to be under enormous pressure from her movements, and the ribbon around her chest became tighter.
After asking in a purposely bewildered manner about what she was doing.
Wu Heng then felt a weight on him, something warm and smooth settling at his waist.
Late into the night, the two leaned against each other.
Slyther looked up and asked, “So tell me, who are you planning to hand the city over to? How did you get to know them?”
Wu Heng was taken aback, damn, she remembered that.
After thinking for a while, he told her the story of how he met them and signed the contract.
“Am I better or is she better?”
Even though Wu Heng sometimes lacked emotional intelligence, he knew how to answer this, “You are better, in looks, figure, and status. Why are you asking this? Don’t you know how attractive you are?”
“At least you have some conscience.”
Wu Heng laughed, “Don’t compare yourself to others. You’re unique in your own way.”
Slyther gave him a shy punch, and continued, “Then I’ll prepare. I’ll bring people over in the next few days. Before you leave, I’ll make sure everything is handled properly.”
“Okay, great.”
They talked for a while, then returned to each other’s arms under their mutual caresses.
…
The next day, early morning.
They both got up early.
After Slyther was cleaned up, she went straight to the guild.
Wu Heng also left the city and returned to Lundham City by train.
When he returned home, the maids weren’t there.
Wu Heng called on the ‘Skull Crusher’ and ‘Blood Axe’ skeletons that were on standby last night, opened the boundary door, and went in together.
Zombie World.
Coming down the stairs, Li Yahong came over from afar.
Wu Heng asked, “Have you checked the Green Peak Living Plaza area?”
“People have been sent to check along the way. The closer we get to that area, the more zombies there are. We can’t confirm the situation at the scene.” Li Yahong said.
“Have the convoy prepare. We’re going there today.”
His own appointment made him have to speed up the process.
“Okay!”
Li Yahong agreed, walking quickly to prepare.
