A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 105: Dominance.

The entire hall was shrouded in silence. This silence was quite opposite to the shouts inside their heart at this moment. They all always saw dark dwellers as subjects, who would make you realize death is better than life. They were the most notorious beings on the face of the planet. Now in front of this teenager, two corpse refiners died so miserably. They wished to die, but it was not given to them. They could digest the fact that a person dug someone else's heart out, but even doing the same to himself. It was the perfect example of separation he was experiencing at that moment.

You Xi Wang spoke while he stood in the center of the hall, "You all may think I am cruel, nasty, and a lot more bad things. I do not care. When I see these dark dwellers harming innocent people, the only thing that matters to me is to erase their existence from this world. We have lost a lot of close ones to these scum. Brother Tyler, Lily's father, was also a good man. One day these bastards attacked a mall and kill for their enjoyment. Big Brother Tyler fought back to save sister Fengxian. Do you think Lily, deserves to grow up without her father? Have you seen that child, trying to hide her pain of not being able to speak normally with a brave smile? Does she deserve to have pain like that? No, she does not. What wrong did my parents commit? They were good people. They did charity, had a benevolent heart, but these bastards. They took them away from us."

He paused, his eyes were already reddening. He continued with a loud voice and domineering tone, "If you think I am a Demon, yes, I am one for these dark dwellers. If you look down on me, that's fine, you have your opinion and I don't care about it. I only care about a handful of things. One of them being, cleaning up the trash of nature. I will not allow even the gods to stop me, let alone mortal individuals. Beware, if I found anyone from our family hesitating in slaying these fuckers, it will be your head on my sword. DO YOU GET IT?"

"YES, YOUNG MASTER." the family replied in unison. They were well aware and knew that You Xi Wang will do what he said, so they put more effort into cultivation and be helpful to him. You Xi Wang waved his hand and asked Robert and the other elder to clean the room. He directed the elders to first check the identities of the people who come to adopt kids in the foundation.

The Limao Foundation was a front but the children who were screened to be not eligible to receive training were all up for the adoption process, while those who were screened to be good were trained in information gathering, surveillance, assassination by You Naixin, Chen Qianbei and some of their loyal handymen. The entire process was treated to be top secret. The children were bound by the heavenly oath, and the same goes for the instructors. Despite the training, the children were provided with education just like the normal children of the planet. This was a method used to let the children have a way to blend in with society.

The children killed by the dark dwellers were from the normal adoption process. They were innocent, and they were both just as old as Celestia. You Xi Wang hated dark dwellers from the depth of his whole existence. After handling the funeral for the children You Xi Wang asked Yuki to contact her parents and see if they will provide some help in investigating the background of the people who come over to adopt the kids. This step should have been taken earlier and it would have saved these two kids, You Xi Wang shook his head blaming himself for being too careless.

You Xi Wang spoke, "Adjourned." his dominance was reflected by the action of the family members. They all left the hall in an orderly manner. Leaving only the elders, You Zhichi in the hall. You Xi Wang was about to speak when he saw that Amanda and Lena were still sitting in the hall. Amanda sensed his gaze and said, "This old lady lost his eldest son and daughter-in-law to dark dwellers. Lena was two years old. Today I found out that you also suffered grievance in their hands. I only advise that you always remember what you are because sometimes we become what we hate."

She stood up, nodded to the fellow elders, turned to leave the hall when You Xi Wang spoke behind her, "Thank you for the teaching, elder. I will always remember your words. Please wait in the guest hall I will see you after finishing the matters here."

She nodded without turning, Lena held her hand and led her out of the hall. She passed a few sneaky glances to You Xi Wang, who was sitting on the throne. At this moment, You Xi Wang was just as she imagined a man of her dreams should be. She felt guilty for thinking that he was just a boy toy she could keep. She even thought that this guy was shared by the three girls because of his face and trivial skills. Despite being an Idol herself, the man she dreamed of was a martial artist and a strong one at that. Ironic isn't it.

...

Lena and her grandmother came out of the hall. They were just wondering about where to go and Emily appeared. Lena took the lead and said, "Excuse me, can you tell us where should we go to reach the guest hall?"

Emily smiled and said, "Yes, please follow me."

They nodded and followed the beauty. On the way, a lot of staff members met her and greeted her, "Head of staff." 

Emily smiled and nodded in return, and they reached the guest hall in just a few moments. Amanda was curious about Emily and could not help but ask, "Little girl, if you don't mind, this old woman has a question."

Emily led Amanda to sit down, and she replied with a smile, "What can I do for you, Elder?"

Amanda spoke, "The staff addressed you as the head of staff. That means you are the manager of this mansion, right?" Emily only nodded with slight confusion.

Amanda continued, "Then can you tell me what is your relation with Young Master You?"

Emily now understood and replied truthfully, "Xi Wang and I are a couple. May I ask why?"

Amanda saw the two acting close in the garden but did not expect it to be true. She asked, "Then the girl he danced with is also his girlfriend?"

Emily nodded and said, "Elder, You Xi Wang has three girlfriends, Yuki, Dr. Susan, and me. But I don't know why you are asking."

Amanda spoke, "I thought, I should encourage my granddaughter to see him more, but now that he has three of you I don't think it is good."

Lena yelled with a faint blush on her face, "Grandma..."

Emily smiled and said, "You Xi Wang is not like those vicious men, elder. The moment he proposed to me, he told me he will have women other than me too. Same for sister Susan and Yuki. This matter depends entirely on fate. None of us can push You Xi Wang to do anything he doesn't want to."

Amanda nodded and said, "True, well that boy is too likable."

Emily nodded and after some small talk, she called a maid to serve them tea and attended to them till You Xi Wang arrived after dealing with some matters in the family. You Xi Wang got to know that Amanda was once a high-level council official who dealt with social welfare. He also asked her to give some valuable advice after observing the working method of the foundation to help them reach more places and help the kids. 

Amanda happily agreed and also said that she will call for some more patrons to raise funds for the welfare. This made You Xi Wang thrilled. Amanda was a council veteran and she must have developed some very good contacts despite the social welfare department being closed. It was decided that Amanda would take Emily with her to see the foundation. The latter agreed with the proposal. She had the identity of You Xi Wang's girlfriend/ the head of staff for the family. Lena meanwhile contacted her agent and expressed her desire to advertise the guitar. 

The agent was reluctant at first but when he saw the initial results of the product, he contacted Lena in a flurry and asked her to arrange a meeting with You Xi Wang so he could discuss the terms and payout for the campaign. Lena relayed the news to You Xi Wang, and the time for the meeting was set. 

They left the mansion after a few minutes. Yuki came over and she spent some good time with You Xi Wang in the garden and reluctantly left when her mother came to pick her up. They were aware of the sensation they have created tonight. The night went by calmly. 

You Xi Wang woke up with a scream in his room.
