The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy

"Woah. Woah. Missy. Wait a second. Which part of me looks like Mother Terresa to you??" Su Lin chuckled teasingly, not showing that she was in fact touched by Mignani's selfless actions.

Runyan as well smiled at the nervous woman.

"Rather than you exploiting us, it's more like we are exploiting you. Using you as the bait, I am going to honey trap several other artists." Su Lin grinned with a evil greedy gleam in her eyes.

"Ahhh..." Mignani was tongue-tied. This friend of hers was looking at her a bit strangely! Don't tell me...

"Yup. You guessed it right. After you sign the contract this afternoon, we will be giving you a very thorough makeover. And trust me, when I am done with you, no one can suppress you! Mu ha ha ha." Su Lin tyrannically declared.

Mignani knew that her friend was not kidding at all!

Sigh... What's a few smelly baths, if one can look like a goddess.

"I admit defeat sis. You win." Mignani surrendered.

"Oh and by the way. Our contracts are a bit different than the usual. You will see."

The three continued to chat about various plans. Mignani voiced out her own ideas as well from her massive experience in the entertainment business.

Soon they had a complete roster of potential talents and artists that they could poach.

But the time was not ripe yet.

Su Lin wanted to shock and awe the world with her first artist and then approach the others, else they might not get coaxed that easily.

The ladies excitedly chatted and soon Luther brought over the food over as well.

A heavenly aroma wafted out as the devilishly handsome man had gone all out and prepared a variety of side dishes and meat skewers.

Since they were all women and very particular about their figures, Luther made sure to carefully ration the carbohydrates, proteins and fresh green vegetables in their feast.

After laying out everything and adding a few pieces of meat to his wifey's bowl, Luther quickly left the table. He didn't dare stay back with them and partake.

The man was secretly afraid that his wifey might sell him out again, and make him the main model.

A master class assassin like himself being forced to model and smile in my underwear?? That just won't do!! Hmph!

"Even though I am a wife slave, I still have my own principles damn it!!" Luther muttered and strengthened his resolve.

But the next instant...

"My dear... Will you please come over today afternoon as well? I need to test out some bath mixes for men." Su Lin's sweet voice rang out, as she sincerely looked at Luther with her money grubber eyes.

"Yes, honey. I will be right there." The man completely forgot all semblances of his rock hard resolve and sweetly nodded.

Ah... Damn it... She trapped me again.

.........

Hongkong city:

A tall lean greyed haired man exited a private airplane hangar. He was surrounded by huge muscular bodyguards on both sides, though he might as well not need them.

The man seemed to emanate an ancient archaic aura, boasting strength almost as powerful as Su Lin's.

But his energy was completely different from Su Lin's own brand of spiritual energy.

If her's was a shimmering white in color, this old man's energy was pitch black in nature, almost as dark as the starless night sky.

Contrary to this soulless nature of his aura, the old man donned a grey silvery Changshan and appeared very low-key and inconspicuous.

The man had even aged well and the only thing which stood out on his strong old body was a string of crystal clear emerald beads around his neck.

Each bead looked very plain and common from a distance, but if one stared at them closely for a bit, they would look terrifying, as if they contained millions of screaming souls.

The group swiftly departed in several expensive SUVs and soon reached a tall skyscraper building, the Kang family headquarters, or rather the Ninth Gate headquarters.

Several middle aged men solemnly sat around a transparent crystal table in a conference room.

The room was located in the highest floor of the building, overlooking the entirety of the beautiful city, as if they were the Kings and Emperors that ruled this city.

The old man, Kang Tiaxo, the patriarch of the Ninth Gate and the Kang family angrily cleared his throat and broke the awkward deadly silence that permeated in the room.

"You dared to break my secluded cultivation, and still keep quiet?? Out with it." The old man's Fu Manchu trembled as he unleashed his full unbridled killing intent and mercilessly assaulted the elders.

But none of the family elders even moved in the slightest, very afraid to face his wrath.

"How can a nobody step into my city and completely uproot one of our subsidiary families and leave without even a single scratch on their body??"

"Are we that generous to let a random dog trample all over us, or are we that weak to let someone bully us as they pleased??"

"ANSWER ME"

The old man's arrogant voice sent shivers among the elders gathered and froze their very bones.

Finally, not daring to anger him any further, a chubby looking man slowly voiced out, fearing for his life.

"Master. We were all out of the country. Only our juniors were here and the foolish lads were not alert enough. Please forgive our oversight just this once, Master."

He quickly stood up and knelt on the floor in front of everybody and bowed to the patriarch.

The others immediately started sweating bullets. This fatty had cunningly ran forward and voluntarily answered the most easy question, and now they were left to weather the worse incoming storms.

And just as they had feared, the old man solemnly asked the next dreaded question.

"Were you at least able to retrieve the soul orbs?"

This time, even though he didn't yell or shout, his voice was a lot more cold and serious than it was before.
