Butchie looked around. There were dozens of people in the hall, and they all turned to look at her.
But why would Butchie, who was known as a female T-Rex, care about such a small scene?
She waved a Heaven's Wings instructional fantasy card and asked in a loud voice, "Who made this?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one answered.
Xiao Man suddenly became a little anxious. She glared and raised her voice, "I'm asking you a question!"
Lu Xiaoru, who was behind Chen Mu, suddenly showed her murderous intent. She had almost died at Butchie's hands, and she had always been brooding over it.
Now that Xiaoman was here shouting and yelling, she was extremely displeased.
She secretly prepared to make a move. Once Chen Mu gave the order, she would kill him!
She sneered in her heart. No matter how she looked at it, this young man didn't look like someone who could tolerate being bullied.
If she and the young man worked together, this damned woman had no chance at all!
She had full confidence in herself, and she was even more confident in the youth than she was in herself.
Butchie's unbridled yelling annoyed some of the Heaven's Wings employees.
Running to Heaven's Wings and shouting like this in front of the boss — wasn't that putting them on the spot?
"Miss …" An employee couldn't help but step forward to remind her.
The unfriendly gazes of the people around her made Butchie immediately realize that she had unknowingly offended these people.
But she was used to running amok in the organization. Apart from the boss and big brother Hugo, everyone else had been trampled by her. She'd seen this kind of scene many times.
"Who did it?" A trace of impatience appeared on Xiao Mang's face as she stretched out her right hand.
With a loud bang, a wooden table in the corner suddenly exploded into countless pieces, splinters flying everywhere.
She was anxious, but she also felt that a fantasy card advertising company wouldn't have any powerful people.
Even if her adversary had a card artisan, she wasn't the least bit afraid. Any company with a card artisan at her level would be a big one.
This move worked, and the Heaven's Wings employees immediately went silent. Their faces were filled with anger, but they were intimidated by the other party's strength and didn't say anything.
However, some of the older employees revealed looks of anticipation and excitement.
They had seen Chen Mu's methods and knew their boss wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Sure enough, it didn't deviate from what they'd thought. Chen Mu stepped forward.
"Who are you?" Even though his words were calm, there was an oppressive pressure in them.
Chen Mu probably didn't even know it himself, but without realizing it, he had already started to take on some of the style of a superior.
From the time he led the group of children in the jungle to the underground city base, he had always played the role of a leader.
After arriving in Pomelo and becoming the boss of Heaven's Wings, those experiences had unwittingly changed his temperament.
It was just that the change was very quiet, and Chen Mu was completely unaware of it.
Whether it was in front of those children in the jungle or in front of Heaven's Wings, he didn't feel like a leader.
That was why he could leave the base so decisively without any reluctance.
If something happened, he could easily leave Heaven's Wings.
But regardless of whether he noticed it or not, this change was real.
Xiao Man looked at the youth who walked out of the crowd with some surprise.
This youth was probably the youngest of them all, but his tone was extremely arrogant.
Although Xiao Man was arrogant, she wasn't stupid. None of the employees around her looked surprised, and she immediately knew that the youth in front of her was most likely the boss of Heaven's Wings. At the very least, he would be an important person there.
The youth wasn't strong and looked rather weak, but she had only seen that kind of imposing manner from big brother Yu Guo and the eldest.
Her gaze suddenly focused on the beautiful professional woman behind the youth.
That woman is dangerous!
Xiao Man's heart skipped a beat. The feeling between aces was very subtle. That beautiful woman was in professional attire and looked to be the youth's secretary.
What she found most strange was that she felt there was something familiar about the secretary's brows. But, after carefully searching her mind, she couldn't think of anything.
The situation in front of her didn't allow her to think too much about it. She had already discovered that the secretary was looking at her with an unfriendly expression, as though she might make a move at any moment.
That youth is no simple character, after all!
Xiao Man was all the more certain of her judgment.
No matter who it was, it wouldn't be simple to have such a beautiful and powerful female secretary as a bodyguard at his side.
Although there were a lot more female card artisans these days than there had been in the past, someone with such stunning beauty and such power would be a rare resource no matter where they were.
The atmosphere had abruptly turned hostile.
Xiao Man suddenly smiled sweetly, and the light in the room seemed to have abruptly brightened.
"This little girl has been rude. I was really too anxious.
I apologize to everyone!
Please bear with me!
My name is Xiao Man, and I have come to find the card master who made this card. I hope to commission him to make a battle card. "Xiao Man gracefully and calmly saluted all around with a sincere expression.
She believed that even the old lady who had taught her etiquette wouldn't be able to find fault with any of her actions.
The employees' mouths were wide open as they looked at Xiao Man in disbelief.
Their brains had collectively short-circuited. They couldn't understand how that pungent and barbaric young girl had suddenly transformed into a well-educated and well-mannered lady.
Seeing Xiao Man standing there so timidly, they wondered if they had just been seeing things.
Some of the younger employees were already regretting that they had just developed such resentful thoughts toward such a gentle girl.
A look of astonishment flashed through Lu Xiaoru's eyes as she stood behind Chen Mu. She then revealed a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.
Lu Xiaoru wasn't any kind-hearted person to begin with, and she was well aware of that change in temperament.
Otherwise, Xiao Man wouldn't have been unable to recognize her.
She was displaying her slight skill in front of an expert!
Among all of them, the calmest and most unperturbed was Chen Mu.
Of course, that was because Wei-ah wasn't there.
His gaze was a little cold, and he knew very well how dangerous that seemingly delicate and innocent woman in front of him was!
Because of his childhood experiences, his attitude toward beautiful women was very different from that of ordinary people.
He had seen quite a few women who were as beautiful as flowers and had hearts as venomous as snakes and scorpions.
Since he had been born poor, he naturally didn't have any improper thoughts about those so-called beautiful women.
That was the principle of having no desires and being firm.
Moreover, his adversary's arrogance and barbarity made him feel repulsed.
"I made it."
Chen Mu responded with a calm expression. Xiao Man's face lit up, having finally found that card master. How could she not be happy?
But what Chen Mu said next was like a bucket of cold water, which extinguished her enthusiasm.
"But I won't make a card for you." Chen Mu's tone was still very light, but even a fool could hear the firmness in his words that left no room for doubt.
"Why?" Xiao Man asked instinctively, with a strong sense of unwillingness in her words.
Chen Mu didn't bother to explain anything to her, and he threw down the words, "Please leave, thank you." He then turned around and continued with his work.
A look of anger flashed through Xiao Man's eyes, and just as she was about to flare up, Lu Xiaoru had seemingly inadvertently already stood in front of Chen Mu.
She was looking at Xiao Man with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, feeling great to see Xiao Man beaten.
Although the wounds on her body hadn't healed, she wasn't the least bit afraid of Xiao Man.
Moreover, there was still that enigmatic youth behind her.
She couldn't wait for Xiao Man to make a scene, so that she could make her move without any misgivings.
She had a lot of confidence, very much so, so she appeared all the more calm.
In Xiao Man's eyes, that calmness had some flavor of having something to fear, which made the young lady who had always run amuck a little.
But, although Xiao Man was arrogant, she wasn't stupid. She knew that if she were to use force there, she wouldn't get anything good.
But, since she knew who her adversary was, she had plenty of tricks up her sleeve and didn't need to rush.
Her smile was like a flower, and she didn't look the least bit annoyed, as though nothing had happened. "Since that's the case, then this little girl will take her leave." She then walked out of Heaven's Wings without looking back.
Lu Xiaoru was disappointed and took a look at Chen Mu. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she could only helplessly watch her leave.
As soon as Xiao Man walked out of Heaven's Wings, Chen Mu turned around and walked upstairs.
Lu Xiaoru's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed to keep up.
The employees were buried in their work, and no one had noticed what the boss was doing.
What the boss did wasn't something they could control.
That day was the longest the boss had ever spent with them.
Once he got upstairs, Chen Mu immediately floated over to the window, where he could see Xiao Man, who had just risen into the sky and hadn't flown far.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mu took off his jacket and pants and took out the ghost-faced flower fruit. He put it in his mouth and gently bit it.
The soft ghost-faced flower membrane spread and squirmed wildly over his face, covering most of it in an instant.
Lu Xiaoru was startled to see such a strange scene as soon as she came in, and she nearly screamed.
She was a woman, after all, and seeing the soft stuff squirming out of Chen Mu's mouth like a living thing, nearly wrapping up his entire face, she felt her heart go numb.
She finally knew how Chen Mu had put on the mask on his face, but it didn't do anything but increase the fear in her heart.
Meeting Lu Xiaoru's startled gaze, Chen Mu threw out the words, "Stay here." Before he'd even finished speaking, he pushed open the window and disappeared without a sound from the windowsill.
The sky was gradually getting dark, and there were already more people on the road. The number of card artisans whizzing past in the sky had also greatly increased.
The colorful fantasy card advertisements were starting to show their dazzling brilliance. If one were to look down from the sky, Pomelo would be dotted with twinkling lights like a city that never slept.
The gradually thickening darkness gave Chen Mu excellent cover. He flew very low, taking advantage of the shadows of the buildings from time to time to carefully follow behind Butchie.
Very few card artisans would choose to fly close to the ground, since it was too difficult and could easily lead to accidents.
So, the empty sky was where the card artisans whizzed by. But in order to not be discovered, Chen Mu chose to fly close to the ground.
That meant he would have to avoid all kinds of obstacles from time to time, such as buildings, or those ordinary people who had just gotten off work using their light cards.
The light cards they used were simpler and more convenient than the ones used by Eastern Wei Academy students. They didn't need perception to control them, and they could make it easier and faster for people to walk.
In theory, flying close to the ground couldn't be compared to flying high in the sky, but Chen Mu raised his speed to the limit and kept up behind Butchie.
He wanted to know which power Butchie really came from, and why they would pay attention to him.
Although her counterpart had come to ask for a card, Chen Mu didn't believe it was a coincidence.
They had just exchanged blows on the battlefield, and she had taken the initiative to ask for a card. That kind of coincidence was too much of a coincidence!
He had never tried to fly at such a low altitude at such a crazy high speed!
To be exact, he wasn't just flying. In order to raise his speed to the limit, he was using all the techniques he could use to increase his speed to the fullest.
Small steps to accelerate, high-speed drift...
The wind whizzed past his ears, and the scenery moving backward at high speed left behind countless multicolored afterimages on his retinas.
Unprecedented speed!
Unprecedented passion!
With every step, the elastic grass beneath his feet sent a powerful impact, and there was even a brief blur in his field of vision.
The oncoming wind almost blinded him, but he didn't dare to close his eyes.
The oncoming wind pressure was pressing down on every part of his body, and all of his power was needed to resist that intense wind pressure.
Seeing Butchie pull away from him a little bit, Chen Mu was anxious. No way!
He would certainly lose her if it went on like that!
But, dammit, how could he go faster?
He felt as though he were in a tank, squeezing out every bit of his power. But, under the high speed current, he didn't seem to have any place to struggle.
It was different from training, and that feeling of powerlessness was so strong!
It was like a deep blue flame silently roasting his spirit, and the stubbornness buried deep in his bones was thoroughly aroused in that moment!
His blood was boiling in that instant, like lava erupting from a volcano, so hot that his whole body was trembling!
Faster!
Faster!
Even faster!
In the dark, Chen Mu's eyes were wide open, and his face was distorted!
Immersed in that feeling of powerlessness, he unconsciously made a water-splitting motion, and his body swayed like a swimming fish. Having already reached the limit of his speed, he only felt the pressure in front of him lighten, and his body suddenly shot forward!
