Chapter 65 – How A Cat Slave Is Formed (12)
In the towering Empire Building, in the highest office, golden sunlight streamed in through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, falling upon the man sitting in front of the computer.
Recalling the astonished and malicious gaze from Jun Mu earlier, Jun Chen couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips, then chuckled softly.
“Don’t be impatient… this is just the beginning. If you can’t handle it now, what will you do later?”
His fingers paused for a moment as the phone beside him rang.
“Boss, boss!”
Fang Yuan’s voice came through with a hint of panic. Jun Chen’s hand tightened slightly, furrowing his brow. “Speak properly.”
“Snowball is missing, seems like she jumped out of the window and ran away. This is on the second floor, how did she open the window? Will she fall if she jumps? She’s still so young, just over a month old.”
Fang Yuan rambled on like an anxious old father, while Jun Chen listened, his grip on the phone tightening slightly. Then, he responded impassively, “I’ve already said, she’ll run off sooner or later if you keep her. Just a little stray cat, doesn’t remember people.”
“But she’s just…”
“Enough, I need to get back to work. Don’t bother me if there’s nothing important.” Jun Chen hung up the phone.
His hand holding the phone paused, a deepening gleam in his eyes, as if something had crossed his mind yet also as if nothing had. After a while, he put the phone aside and resumed his work as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, as Yan Luo, with her four short legs, was running towards Jun Chen’s company under Little Pink’s guidance, when suddenly a system notification sounded in her ear.
[*Ding*—Jun Chen’s Blackening Value +5, Current Value (79/100)]
Yan Luo stumbled for a moment, almost tumbling to the ground.
Her heterochromatic eyes widened slightly, not understanding what was going on with this person. Just when she had managed to decrease his corruption value a bit, it increased by five points again. Did she provoke him unknowingly?
Though puzzled, Yan Luo’s actions quickened. By the time she arrived at the entrance of the Jun Corporation, it was already time for people to get off work. Despite the assistance of ‘Decision of Life and Death,’ and Yan Luo hadn’t expended much energy, but she was still tired.
Yan Luo jumped onto the tree at the entrance of Jun Corporation, squatted on a branch, panted lightly, and wagged her tail as she looked at Jun Corporation before her while squinting slightly.
[Dear Host, what’s wrong? Why do you have that expression?]
“It’s nothing.” It’s just that the dense black aura surrounding Jun Corporation is quite shocking. Yan Luo wondered what kind of situation Jun Chen had set up for Jun Corporation.
Yan Luo flicked her little tail. “Is Jun Chen coming out soon?”
Recently, she felt she had no presence at all around Jun Chen. Seeing his blackening value not decreasing but increasing, Yan Luo felt it was time to try a different approach.
[Yes, the mission target is detected approaching. Dear Host, what do you want to do?]
Before Little Pink figure could finish speaking, Yan Luo’s body suddenly tensed. Slowly, she stood up, cautiously watching the several people lurking nearby.
If she hadn’t seen it wrong just now, the glint that flashed under the sunlight… was it the gleam of a blade?
Who were these people, and what did they want to do? Yan Luo frowned, observing them carefully.
Just then, a familiar figure walked out of the company gate. Jun Chen’s expression was slightly dark, his brows furrowed, his steps somewhat hurried, as if something urgent had come up.
Yan Luo didn’t immediately jump out. Because as she expected, she saw the several people began to act after exchanging glances.
