The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system
Chapter 504 - 504 Fruiting morons

504: Fruiting morons.

504: Fruiting morons.

The captain was among those watching and he was cursing just as much as Alix.

The only difference between them was that he was using the curse words as they were meant to be used.

“I warned those fucking bureaucrats that this would not be as simple as they thought.

They just sit in their fucking cushy offices, breathing in sweet fresh air thanks to her orchids and give out orders as if they own the system hosts.

You know what she ought to do, she ought to pass by their offices and burn them down.

As a matter of fact i am going to send her minister Wei’s address and she can raze it to the ground.” He punched the wall really hard, making a hole through it.

“Fucking fat moron.” The analysts were very frightened while Abby was counting the number of times the captain had dropped the ‘f’ bomb.

“Let’s not make hasty decisions yet, Mantis is not yet done.” Abby tried to be the voice of reason to shake the captain out of the blood crazed cloud he was trapped in.

The captain shook his head.

“She is done, the message has been delivered and Alix can take it up with minister Wei if she doesn’t wish to attend that party where she will be treated like an animal in the zoo.” He pushed one of the analysts aside and spoke into a microphone directly to Mantis.

“Get yourself out of there, your job is done.” Mantis heard the order but she felt uneasy about leaving the house and leaving things the way they were.

Darling fire breath with her red eyes and scales on her hands looked like she was ready to go on rampage.

A dragon on rampage in broad daylight was not good for anyone.

No amount of PR could cover up that story.

Zhang Bo was already on his feet and he moved behind a sofa.

Caishen was trying to calm Alix down and this time, he was serious about it.

“Nobody has compared you to a horse Alix, please i am pleading with you to calm down.

If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it.

Nobody can force you to do a single thing you don’t want.” he assured her.

Mantis nodded.

“Yes, you can turn minister Wei’s request down.

It’s not a must for system hosts to blindly accept all missions from the superiors.

The only reason why i came to share this with you is because they are offering some money and i figured you might be interested in the money.

If you can reach out to the Heinrich family personally, you can negotiate for a large payment and your do’s and dont’s.

You are a new system host without connections abroad.

This is a chance for you to make some connections.

That family has two known system hosts and there is a rumor that they are secretly harboring a third one.

If you can find information on the third one and sway them our way, it will be a win for us.” In her ear, Mantis heard the captain yelling for her to get out of there.

She deactivated the camera in her eyes and the listening devices.

She could see that her words were beginning to get through to Alix.

Contrary to what the captain and others thought, Mantis was not an idiot and she had done more than enough research before coming over.

Alix liked money, so she mentioned it.

Also, if Alix went around the minister and made her own deal it was the perfect fuck you to him.

That bastard had done the same thing to her when she had just joined the bureau.

He sent to a bunch of rich Arabs that claimed they wanted her to play around with their hawks and scorpions in the Dubai desert.

When she got there, they asked that she morph into a beetle and ended up having their hawks hunt her for sport.

Of course, she retaliated in turn by morphing into a scorpion and stinging them.

It was a nightmare for minister Wei who didn’t get the large pay out he was expecting and he dumped all the blame on her.

“Alix, you have all the power here, you can take all the money and keep it for yourself.

That family can pay up to twenty million dollars for an hour of your dragon time.

If they try anything funny, set everything ablaze and turn the celebration into a funeral.” she added.

Alix was clear eyed when Mantis was concluding.

Her system was clamoring that she say yes to the deal.

Of course this was because going abroad was an opportunity to eat other systems on foreign soil and it would not be tracked back to her.

“I know how to reach the Heinrich family.” Zhang Bo volunteered from behind the couch.

“And they live in one of those old but beautiful castles.” He turned his head to Mantis as he had a weird thought.

“You don’t think that they will make her play a game of big bad dragon kidnaps the princess and a bunch of knights must confront the dragon to rescue her.” Mantis clenched her jaw on hearing his words.

To anyone else it was a crazy theory but to her ears, after what she had experienced in the desert and told no one, it didn’t sound too crazy.

Suffering through an experience like that was not worth it, not even as a fuck you to the horrible minister Wei.

“On second thought, don’t do it.

There are no winners or losers whether you do it or not.” She stood up and requested that Alix hand over the dossier.

Alix shook her head and clutched it.

“Let’s talk in private for a moment.” She led Mantis away to her music room and closed the door behind them.

Then, she invited her to sit down and gave her a bar of chocolate from the small pyramid of chocolate bars on the shelf on the wall.

Alix opened a bar for herself, ignoring the complainant clucking of the chicken which was unhappy to see her in there like she was an intruder in its personal space.

“What do you want to ask me?” Mantis begun.

“What are you not telling me?” Alix directly asked.

“Just before you told me not to go, you had this expression on your face, it was anger, explosive anger.

I recognize that look because i used to have it all the time.

Who is it that wronged you and caused you pain?”
