The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 998
Chapter 998: His Highness
Manager Zhang stared at the ceiling with guilt…
He was left with no other choice. If there was no one to shift the Little Young Demon Master’s attention, he would need to bear all the pain. He could only bring his best friend into this mess. As the saying goes, best buddies were meant to be deceived!
The golden plague manager fought to suppress his emotions and began to convince himself that, at the very least, he would never find a second child with a temperament like Little Young Demon Master’s under this vast sky. Although those who had spent ample time with Little Young Master would eventually go crazy, the unique little demon-like face would unquestionably seize him considerable fame once he had debuted!
Besides, all of Jue Wei Group’s funds would be used on him… To think of it now, could he assume that he was given a promotion?
After a lot of self-convincing, the golden plague manager sifted through the documents. “This advertisement is great, it’s under one of the local first-line companies with sizable influence. It’s well-suited for Young Masters’ identity. Using this advertisement as your debut would undoubtedly make everyone remember you, Young Master.”
“It’s alright even if they don’t remember me. The most important is, how’s the price they had proposed?” Baili Shangxie raised a small eyebrow.
The golden plague manager took a glimpse at the price and answered, “Although it cannot compare to movie superstars, at least it’s sensible for Young Master’s identity. They are paying you a reasonable price.”
Once Baili Shangxie heard him, he jutted his small chin out. “I can appear half-naked in front of the camera.”
So? The golden plague manager was baffled. He did not understand why Little Young Demon Master would jump from the previous topic to this.
“Wouldn’t appearing naked increase the price?” Baili Shangxie pointed at him, superiority laced in his voice. “So you have to tell them about this and you will be responsible for increasing my payment.”
The golden plague manager was rendered speechless. He’s not wrong! There are indeed some male superstars who appear shirtless in commercials and are rewarded a fortune, but you’re just a three-year-old kid whose naked body is not visually pleasing and of no use!!!! Tell me, who will want to look at you, who!!!
Listening from the side, Manager Zhang almost broke out in a laughing fit. Especially when he saw his best friend petrified, frozen like a rock. He clasped a hand around his mouth and cleared his throat. “Little Young Master, you’re just debuting, the pay should not be your main concern, you should first focus on gaining fame.”
“To me, a high price is the most important thing.” Baili Shangxie said sternly.
The golden plague manager frowned. “Young Master, what do you need so much money for?” Jue Wei Group’s stock value increases steadily every day, so what’s the matter with Little Young Master?
Baili Shangxie furrowed his little eyebrows and said, “You should know that supporting a family is difficult nowadays.”
He had always known that supporting a family was indeed a demanding task, but why were these words spilling from the mouth of a child of age three?!
The golden plague manager, who had always been calm in front of the media, fisted his hair anxiously. “So?”
“So, ask them to raise my advertisement fee. I’m not sure whether that small amount of money can cover my little brother’s education fees.” Baili Shangxie’s face remained indifferent as he let out a solemn sigh. “Life. It’s really not easy.”
The golden plague manager was once again at a loss of words. What are you complaining about, being a three-year-old brat!
Manager Zhang peered at his old friend, who was about to go insane. He then hauled him over and spoke to him in a low voice, “Did you hear what Little Young Master just said?”
“Of course I heard him, he said he wanted to support the family. A three-year-old child wants to support a family?” The golden plague manager did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “He said he wanted to pay for his little brother’s…”
Wait a minute!
Little brother?!
The golden plague manager and Manager Zhang exchanged an alarmed glance right away!
Snap.
Baili Jia Jue reached out and shut his Apple laptop. Lifting his gaze, he glanced in their direction.
The golden plague manager and Manager Zhang gulped timidly.
Unexpectedly, the president, who had been nicknamed the demon, appeared to be in a good mood. He did not even bring up the small talk that they just had, instead, he looked at his two subordinates with what seemed like a smile. “To get here from the garage… Hmm, it’s about time. Go and prepare for the press conference, arrange it to be in the level one hall, I’ll go down with Shangxie.”
“Alright.” Manager Zhang held in his mind plenty of questions that he dared not ask. Thus, he simply marched out of the office swiftly.
The media reporters were all highly enthusiastic. Various filming cameras occupied most of the space in the level one hall, while every reporter waited eagerly for Baili Jia Jue’s entry.
At that moment, Helian Wei Wei caught sight of someone who was not supposed to appear there.
“Woman, I finally managed to track you down after so long.” In the dark, a small figure was seated cross-legged in the car. His eyes were a clear ruby red, while a smile hung across his face alongside an extremely devilish expression. The sickle over his shoulder that gleamed with a dark glow was easily five times his height.
The appearance of the little one seemed to cause the entire parking lot to plummet into an unprecedented chill.
Anyone else visiting the parking lot could not place their fingers on what happened. All they did was wonder how the 30-degree weather suddenly turned so cold.
Could it perhaps be because they were in a parking lot?
Inevitably, some of the passersby looked back occasionally, but they still could not figure out the reason behind the sudden coldness.
Only Helian Wei Wei and Little Qingchen, who tagged along, were able to see the little one that reeked of the Underworld, and the trembling judge standing behind him.
“Son of the King of Hell?” Helian Wei Wei muttered as her thin brows wrinkled into a frown. “What are you doing here?”
The King of Hell’s son plunged into deep thought. “This can only prove that the power of love is simply fascinating. For the sake of Little Hook, I can do anything without hesitation.”
Helian Wei Wei could not form a reply to his statement.
“Anyhow, there’s something that you must know.” The King of Hell’s son lowered his volume as he pressed on, “I’m sure you can already feel it too, ever since your man came to the modern world, the ghoulish aura in him has only been getting denser and denser. Even his murderous intent would be more easily expressed, unknowing to him himself.”
Helian Wei Wei slowly raised his gaze to look up to him, her voice exceptionally calm. “What are you trying to say?”
“This is not a good sign,” said the Son of the King of Hell as he touched the bridge of his nose. “Let me first say that I’m risking my life to send you this message. I’m only telling you because I know you’re Uncle Tang’s friend, and for the fact that we have once suffered together during the ancient times. Ripping space and time has always been considered against nature so humans and Gods alike failed even after giving their best efforts to break through. In the whole wide world, Baili Jia Jue is perhaps the only one who actually managed to follow you all the way to the modern world. At the same time, however, he is also subject to substantial damage. To look for you, he gave up his divine psyche. You ought to know that His Highness has once fallen from the sky, and if he has no divine psyche, it could only mean that he would become a legitimate demon…”
