Lin Tian’s words came from the heart. Whenever he saw Xiao Manxuan alone, memories of his own past surfaced. Last time in the underground parking lot kidnapping, Xiao Manxuan had begged Lin Tian not to tell her mother and sister, such a kind girl, but her silhouette was so lonely.
If ordinary people were attacked and kidnapped by ten thugs, they would probably be scared half to death, but Xiao Manxuan chose to bear it alone.
After he finished speaking, Xiao Manxue across from him remained silent. However, whenever she felt that Lin Tian made sense, the image of Lin Tian in his bare skin holding her underwear would pop into her mind, and she would feel an unreasonable anger toward him, thinking Lin Tian was a villain, his words mere sophistry and untrustworthy.
As the CEO of Xiao Group and a true career woman, she inherently had a stubborn side. Once she thought of Lin Tian as a bad person, her face became expressionless again.
"Lin Tian, I won’t talk too much with you, the Xiao Family does not welcome you, you should resign voluntarily!" Xiao Manxue, after all, was a CEO, had experienced a lot, and quickly calmed down, urging Lin Tian to resign.
Lin Tian was also angered. He could resign, but the thought of being fired by a woman was something he couldn’t swallow. As a powerful zombie, being dismissed by a woman on an unfounded charge ignited Lin Tian’s temper.
That was his nature; everything was negotiable if you went with his temperament, but he absolutely could not tolerate such injustice and wrongful treatment. Lin Tian said indifferently, "It’s not up to you to say whether I resign or not, I remember the employment contract was signed under the name Li Xinyi, if I’m not mistaken, that’s Mrs. Xiao’s name, right?"
"You..., fine, very well, you don’t want to resign, do you? I will call my mother right now to fire you!" Xiao Manxue was so frustrated that she took out her phone to make a call.
But Lin Tian was not afraid of her, and added, "Go ahead, call. Mrs. Xiao is a reasonable and sensible person; before you call, you better think clearly about what reason you’ll use to convince Mrs. Xiao. Was it me who entered your boudoir in my bare skin and took your underwear? Or was it me sweet-talking and deceiving the Second Miss? You better think it through carefully!"
Touching exactly what should not be touched, Lin Tian brought up Xiao Manxue’s sore spot, making her even more furious. But she hesitated; as a virgin CEO, would she dare tell Mrs. Xiao about these embarrassing situations?
Looking at Lin Tian’s smug expression, Xiao Manxue gritted her teeth and said, "You think I can’t handle you, huh? Humph, I’ll deduct your salary every month, see if you can stay. You’ll have to leave on your own eventually. If you leave now, I can give you two months’ extra salary. Think it over!"
A CEO is a CEO, able to keep a clear head even in anger and still offer threats and incentives. However, she had completely miscalculated. Lin Tian laughed and said, "Miss, President Xiao, I’m sorry, but if you deduct my salary without cause, I will sue you for employee abuse!"
"You..." Xiao Manxue’s brief composure was shattered again by Lin.
"Oh, almost forgot to tell you some good news, Mrs. Xiao has already given me my entire year’s salary." Lin Tian, regardless of the woman on the verge of exploding, continued to add fuel to the fire, "Moreover, Mrs. Xiao said that I am an outstanding employee, a great bodyguard, so she added an extra two hundred thousand to my annual salary."
"Oh, also, Mrs. Xiao said that, as such an excellent employee, my salary will increase in the future," Lin Tian added.
Xiao Manxue had never seen an employee as difficult to handle as Lin Tian, and his final words completely ignited the powder keg inside her. Xiao Manxue exploded, raising her hand and actually throwing her cell phone at Lin Tian. She’s crazy—Lin Tian quickly dodged to the side.
Seeing that the throw missed Lin Tian, Xiao Manxue struck with her palm, a faint blue light emanating from it. This time, Lin Tian did not dodge; he punched back, but he did not use his full strength.
After all, she was the Miss, and her anger was for the sake of her sister; Lin Tian had no reason to hurt her. But even though he didn’t use full force, Xiao Manxue was still pushed several steps backwards by the strength of Lin Tian’s blow.
This time, Lin Tian carefully felt the blue light on her hand, realizing it must be a manifestation of the True Qi circulating within her body, a phenomenon that occurs at higher levels of the Ancient Martial Realm.
Uncle Zhao, who was also an Ancient Martial Artist, did not have this, and as for what level of the Ancient Martial Realm Xiao Manxue was at, Lin Tian did not know. His knowledge about Ancient Martial Artists was limited. However, he felt that Xiao Manxue’s force was so sharp that it made his hand slightly hurt.
Right, this woman seemed to have been trained in swordsmanship, no wonder the force in her True Qi was so strange—Lin Tian thought, wondering how powerful it would be if she had a sword in her hand.
"Lin Tian, you bastard, don’t think you can be arrogant just because you have mastered certain tough martial arts techniques. If I had a sword, I’d chop you into pieces!" After the last hit on Lin Tian, Xiao Manxue had guessed that Lin Tian’s training was in Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield or Dragon Roar Iron Cloth, which are types of Ancient Martial techniques.
However, she could never imagine that Lin Tian was not an Ancient Martial Artist but a zombie. With regards to her misconception, Lin Tian was not going to correct it, nor did he want to keep up the argument. So he spoke up, "Miss, you’ve delivered a slap to let out your anger; today’s issue was my fault—I shouldn’t have provoked you with my words. Let me through; I don’t want to hurt you. I really have urgent matters to attend to."
These two sisters lacked creativity in their insults; it’s always either ’scoundrel’ or ’bastard,’ Lin Tian thought, and decided not to engage further, heading towards the door.
"Hmph, you think you can leave?" Xiao Manxue was furious, blocking his path with a gesture and sneered, "What do you mean by ’let’s call it even’? It’s clearly your fault. You think you can hurt me? Did my master teach me for nothing?"
Damn it, this woman needs to be shown some colors, or she’ll never end this. She thinks everyone is easy to bully! Lin Tian suddenly lunged forward, stretching out his hand into a claw, aiming for her wrist, to completely overpower her. Xiao Manxue sneered back, her hands forming a sword finger, stabbing one at Lin Tian’s wrist while the other was ready in reserve.
Facing her sword finger attack, Lin Tian did not care at all, allowing her to strike. No matter the variety of your techniques, they’re all a joke in front of absolute power—this is the principle of one force overthrows ten techniques.
Lin Tian’s grabbing arm shook, easily deflecting her sword fingers. The wrist is a weak spot, and Xiao Manxue, being easily deflected, was shocked. Her reserved sword finger then struck out, targeting Lin Tian’s Dan Zhong Acupoint. Any Ancient Martial Artist knows that if this acupoint is hit with great force, the True Qi will disperse, losing the ability to fight.
Unfortunately for her, Lin Tian, like a bulldozer, bluntly charged forward, forcefully grabbing her shoulders.
