In another part of Supreme, a fl.u.s.tered Furukawa Shun poked his head into an office first before the rest of his body followed. He walked cautiously as if he was afraid that a beast would jump out and attack him. Even though it was a bit ridiculous, he felt that his nervousness was justified. After all, every time he met with the owner of this office, he would lose miserably."Little Shun, I am glad that you could make it." The door closed with a bang, revealing a princely man who was standing behind it.
Shun had not noticed him because he had not closed the door after coming in. The familiar refined voice made him jump like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He turned almost robotically to face the man who had apparently been hiding to scare him.
"You are thinking too much. I was merely getting a pen from my coat." He shook a simple pen in his hand. Indeed, there was a coat hanging from a hook on the door.
Contrary to his royal image, w.a.n.g Che"s office was a bit messy and lacked finesse. The only thing that indicated that someone cared about the office was an elaborate cabinet with a range of fantastic model cars and motorcycles. The rest of the room was just a collection of general office essentials placed in an untidy and poorly thought-out fashion. It was no wonder he could not find a pen.
"I was not thinking anything." Shun denied his earlier thoughts immediately. But in his heart, he believed that w.a.n.g Che had been waiting for a while to pull this move and scare him. It was the kind of thing he would do.
w.a.n.g Che smiled knowingly as he walked back to his desk. He shuffled the piles of papers on the surface for a while before digging out a doc.u.ment. He checked it casually before beckoning to the other man to come closer. Shun took small cautious steps towards him and sat down on the seat opposite w.a.n.g Che.
"Sign it." w.a.n.g Che did not waste words.
Shun read through the doc.u.ment which confirmed the transfer of the vehicle from Clarion Motor City. It was the reward for the Secret Realm game. He did not find anything wrong with the details, so he directly signed it.
"I will be going now." He declared without further ado, completely ready to leave this wolf"s den.
Though Shun acted like a small endangered animal, w.a.n.g Che had actually never harmed him in any way. In fact, it could be said that he was extremely nice to him, to the point of being indulgent. Sponsoring his events regularly was one of the few things that he had done for him since their first meeting.
But for some unknown reason, Shun always felt a sense of crisis whenever he was near w.a.n.g Che. He always felt like a little juicy rabbit before a ravenous wolf, not that he would use this a.n.a.logy out aloud.
He did not know how the man had come to be known as a gentle prince. He was obviously a deadly vampire masquerading as a prince, waiting for the right hour to suck the blood out of guileless victims. Unfortunately, Shun was unaware that this side of w.a.n.g Che was only seen by him. Not that he would be thankful or glad if he knew this…
"Not so fast, Little Shun. You know it will not be easy to run." w.a.n.g Che lips stretched into a wicked smile, unlike his usual perfunctory one.
Shun"s head drooped in dejection, making a sad picture. However, w.a.n.g Che only laughed without sympathy.
"What do you want this time?" Shun asked with a cautious expression.
w.a.n.g Che always demanded something from him, regardless of who initiated their business dealings. Usually, he would be required to partic.i.p.ate in a "fun" activity alongside w.a.n.g Che. The first time, the man had forced him to seat in a sports car with him while they drove up on a meandering road in the mountain at unG.o.dly speeds. It had scarred him forever.
"I have not made a decision. It is a pretty good car." w.a.n.g Che looked at Shun with a smirk. "Right now, I am more interested in Hu Lei. What can you tell me about her?"
Shun immediately lost his meek appearance and became a tough terrier. "w.a.n.g Che, she is a married woman. You cannot attempt to break up a happy couple. Otherwise, you will be cursed for life."
w.a.n.g Che"s smile widened when he saw this display of temper. Even though Shun acted like he was the devil, he was incapable of concealing his temper for too long.
"Mmmh, tell me more about her, and I might let her off." His voice was that of an evil demon.
"You… how can you be like this?" the furious Shun placed his hands on the disorganised desk and looked at w.a.n.g Che in anger.
"In this case, are you willing to sacrifice yourself to save a marriage?" The devil leaned forward over the desk, coming close to the lively angry face.
Shun shivered immediately and drew back his messy little head. He felt confused and a little scared. When w.a.n.g Che said things like this, he felt like he was completely helpless. He wanted to hide because he did not understand the intentions of this man.
"I don"t know much about her." In the end, he could only apologise to Hu Lei in his heart. She had the powerful hero to defend her. He was only a mob character. "I met her a couple of years ago when she was working as Zhong Feng"s interpreter. After that, I learned that she disappeared. I just heard recently that she had returned."
w.a.n.g Che drummed his index finger on his desk while thinking about Qi Han. The man was still set on finding Hu Lei. But it was probably hopeless, even if he managed to get a hold of her. The way things stood, nothing good could come out of this. However, Qi Han"s infatuation was only getting worse. As his friend, he felt like he should discourage him. But was that even possible?
Shun felt that the deep look in w.a.n.g Che"s eyes could only mean that he was plotting something nefarious. He needed to ensure that this wicked man understood that he had no chance. Hu Lei belonged to his hero. His eyes flashed with mischief. If this person was fed dog food to the point of bursting, he would abandon his thoughts.
"You know, if you are that interested in learning more about Hu Lei, it is not impossible to meet her." Bunny Shun smiled at Wolf Che with a sense of enticement. He did not realise that he was only fulfilling the wishes of his overlord.
w.a.n.g Che could see that the man in front of him had strange thoughts. But he did not discourage him. In fact, he feigned complete ignorance, as if he had no idea where this was going. As always, Shun had delivered himself on a silver platter while bearing gifts.
"What do you mean?" The wolf asked.
"He-he, leave everything to me." Shun laughed mysteriously and took out his phone.
w.a.n.g Che smiled as he looked at the man before him. His eyes softened subconsciously when he saw that childish smile gracing the face which still looked immature in spite of his age. Since the moment he had met Furukawa Shun, he had felt hope.
Since childhood, all he had known were schemes, plots and hidden thorns. His intelligence had helped him avoid falling into bad situations, but that life had moulded everything about him. He did not even know if his personality was his own or if it was also just a mask.
He thought that was how the world worked, but then he had met Furukawa Shun. His first impression: an energetic idiot. Then, he discovered that this person was incapable of schemes, even when he tried. His face never donned a mask. His face was like a lighted billboard.
In the beginning, he had only been a source of amus.e.m.e.nt, but now…
