Chapter 45: Hello Ladies
"How do I look?"
President Wu questioned as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was in his bedroom, preparing for the Celebration Party and wore a full black suit, including an elegant black shirt that was tied with a black bow-tie. His sleeves had a golden design on them which gave him an imperial look.
He didn’t receive an answer from his assistant, so he gazed to the side and saw her staring blankly. Her amazed expression was exactly what he wanted to see.
"Ehem, will President Wu punish me if I say I want to take a bite of you...?" Lady Assistant asked playfully as she took a step forward, grabbing President Wu’s hand. "President Wu is extremely sexy in a black-gold suit."
He grinned at the compliment and pulled her closer, forcing a kiss which she gladly accepted.
"If the party didn’t start soon, I would take you to the bedroom and punish you right away," President Wu muttered with desire in his eyes and pulled away, gazing back at the mirror, trying to fix the bow-tie. "Talking about the party, how are the preparations?"
Lady assistant pushed his hands away and began fixing the bow-tie for him as she reported, "Everything is prepared according to President Wu’s instructions. We have the best chief, the best musicians, and the best venue. Although we didn’t have much time to prepare, we managed to settle everything in a few hours."
Mhmm...
Lady Assistant moaned when President Wu began roaming around her body with his free hands but he seemed already used to it, not even commenting.
"All top Families and Clans from the Capital have also been invited and all of them confirmed their arrival. The celebration will be the grandest event that happened this year for sure, with all young talents from Fire Land appearing at the party."
"Will the ones I suggested come as well?" President Wu asked curiously to which Lady Assistant nodded eagerly. "Yes, three individuals from the top one hundred Dragons Steps confirmed their arrival. Even the top twenty Blissful Knight will come, but President Wu..."
Lady Assistant paused, looking into President Wu’s eyes as she was finally done fixing his bow-tie.
"You don’t like them?" President Wu asked confused. "Aren’t they one of the best geniuses? Wu needs some strong partners in the future if she wants to enter the Ancient Realm in the future."
"I have nothing bad to say about those young ’candidates’ but I still don’t think it is a good idea to mess with Miss Wu’s love life. She loves Young Master Xuefeng, so we should respect that. I’m sure he will—"
Lady Assistant got cut off by President Wu as he grabbed onto her cheeks, "It’s enough. I don’t want to hear the rest."
"President Wu, I always support all of your decisions but I can’t support this one. I support freedom without any restrictions. You can’t live Miss Wu’s life for her else it will backfire," Lady Assistant warned, not giving up but President Wu was stubborn.
"It’s okay, we can disagree and I will still do what I think is better," President Wu replied simply. "No grandchild of mine will be a side character who is following someone else. Right now, my only granddaughter is just another wife of his. How would you feel if I got myself ten more hot assistants?"
Lady Assistant wasn’t upset at that question, replying honestly, "I would feel really bad at first, but if that can make President Wu happier, I would learn to accept it. I’m also confident I would still be the number one assistant if that happened."
"You missed the point. I want Little Wu to create her own legacy. I don’t want her to live in that kid’s shadow," President Wu called out before waving his hand. "Leave it. I already decided. She will learn to understand it as she meets other experts who already entered the Dragon Steps. The difference in power is too big. That Xuefeng is already behind them all and without any power backing him, he is not going to catch up. No one will help him knowing he is the Trade Union’s enemy."
He kissed Lady Assistant, showing he isn’t mad at her and walked away towards the door, laughing, "Haha! Unless it’s Sect Master Liu himself, no one in the Heaven Realm will go against me!"
Just as he spoke, President Wu felt a disturbance with his Spirit Awareness. His Spirit Qi filled the whole mansion, so he controlled everything that happened inside. It was one of his personal Experts who barged into his mansion and rushed towards his bedroom with a panicked expression.
Something bad had to happen as everyone knew not to bother him anymore today.
Knock, knock!
The Expert banged against the door hurriedly as he called out, "President Wu! Urgent news!"
If it was Trade Union related, it would be one of the staff informing him so it could only be something personal.
"Enter!"
Upon calling out, the Expert immediately entered the bedroom and bowed, reporting without even catching his breath.
"President Wu, we received news about Liu Xuefeng! He escaped before our Experts arrived and his location is unknown!"
President Wu frowned at that, not because it was shocking but it was the opposite.
"That’s it?"
"No Sir! He used a Forbidden Art to kill all of the Trade Union’s experts who pursued him, forcing the leader of the local hunting squad to use his Teleportation Artefact to escape. He then used that same Forbidden Art to crack the hole in the Safe Zone barrier and disappeared without a trace," the Expert continued reporting.
President Wu raised his eyebrows. That was more serious, definitely impressive from Xuefeng’s side but still not enough to be this panicked. He was about to scold the Expert when he added another news.
"That’s not all! It seems like Sect Master Liu recruited Liu Xuefeng and his wife Xiao Tianshi as their Personal Disciples. They even displayed his signature tokens. Many saw it, and it’s one hundred percent confirmed."
President Wu was so shocked he couldn’t even react when he heard the first part.
"W-what did you just say? That Sect Master Liu?" President Wu asked, stuttering for the first time ever. "Impossible! He is behind a closed-door Cultivation!"
"Everyone saw Sect Master Liu’s tokens in their possession. There is no other possibility," the Expert assured and took a step back just in case.
President Wu finally understood why the Expert was panicking. Even he was panicking now. How could he kill the Personal Disciple of the strongest Cultivator in Heaven Realm?
"Damn it! I need to visit that geezer as soon as possible! Once Xuefeng joins the House of Dragons, the whole plan is busted!" President Wu cursed, returning to Lady Assistant to settle this matter when another two guards burst hurriedly into his mansion.
"Miss Wu and her friend ran away!"

If Nuwa and Wu were close to the Headquarters, they would hear a scream coming from President Wu’s mansion, but they were already in the promised bar, drinking the local specialties. They asked the Flying Beast owner to bring them to the grandest bar in the city, and here they were.
Unfortunately, the grander the place, the more flies gathered inside.
The moment Nuwa saw three idiots come over, she knew there would be trouble. She was about to stop them before they even started when she noticed their high ranked gear, definitely worth a lot of money. Being bored as she was, her lips curved from a great idea in her mind.
"Hello ladies, would you mind if we joined you for a drink?"
