Chapter 72 - The Demon And The Bully

"You two!" Shen Xia quickly hopped onto her feet with her cheeks burning red. "This… Kable, say something."

"Lilith, save me my Little Fluff Fluff is bullying me." Kable acted like a victim, causing Shen Xia's head and neck to turn red. 

Shen Xia turned and looked at Kable, who was acting pitiful all of a sudden, and kicked him. But he only used that to make his point. "See how violent she is!?" 

"You!" Shen Xia had never seen such a display from Kable. Not wanting any part of it anymore, she stomped her feet and went back to sitting down at her desk.

"Haha!  Xiaxia, don't be mad. We are just kidding. But really Mr. Vorn, this is a new side of you. I never expected to see such a playful side of the known Demonic CEO."  Quan Xinya was truly surprised. She never expected someone heralded as the most vicious CEO in the world to act in such a way.

"I only act this way in front of my Fluff Fluff and you two since you are her closest people and family," Kable said as she walked over to where Shen Xia was sitting and scratched her ears to calm her down. 

"Master is a very good man to those who are under him. Although once you cross him..." Lilith shivered just thinking about it.

"Lilith, why do I feel like you are searching for a raise?" Kable asked with a smile that was not a smile causing Lilith's face to pale. 

"Cut it out." Shen Xia elbowed Kable. She could feel the killing intent coming off him. "Lilith is my people now, so no touch. Plus, she was praising you. Why are you getting upset?"

"I was just joking." Kable rubbed his stomach, acting like he was hurt, causing Shen Xia to roll her eyes at him. But she liked seeing how playful her handsome devil could be. 

"Mmm, right… Anyway, Lilith and Xinya, did you handle the other secretaries?" One of the things she had the two do now that they would be working for her was to fire all the secretaries that were lining the hall.

"Yeah, while one cried and mumbled something about a goddess, the others took it well since they were getting four years of severance pay. But it was a necessary move since you do not want to have to keep your illusion magic up the entire time." Quan Xinya answered. She felt bad for the girl who cried, but there was not much she could do about it. Having people not in the loop as Shen Xia's secretary was not going to happen.

"I hate having to let them all go, but later on, I will not be able to afford to pay them. Not to mention this building will be sold off once I move to the capital. I can use the extra funds to put towards buying the new building and factory." Shen Xia scratched her head. Her planning so far started with getting rid of the unnecessary bulk of employees that were not needed. 

"Do you want me to search for a place?" Kable asked.

"No! You will just buy it for me and won't let me pay for it." Shen Xia said but smiled as she turned around and looked at Kable with a toothy grin. "But thank you!"

"Just let me know if you need me. I will do what I can to help." Kable leaned down and kissed her lips before standing back up and clapping his hands. "Alright, it's late, and you have school tomorrow, so we should head back to the house."

"Ah! It's almost midnight, and we have military training tomorrow!" Quan Xinya cried out. She hated the fact that they were doing a two day training now in their final year of high school.

"Training? I thought we didn't have to do it again until college." Shen Xia was confused. She never heard anything about a surprise training.

"They sent out a message today. Did you not check your phone?" Quan Xinya took out her phone and showed her the text she got from the school.

"This…" Shen Xia frowned, seeing the message, she quickly took out her phone to see she had three missed messages, one from her grandmother, one from Shen Lingxin, and the other from the school. She opened the one from the school to see that it was the same message that Quan Xinya had gotten. "Well, at least it's just stupid exercises… But if this came before I was able to hide my ears and tail, I would have had to skip it."

"It is good that you are able to join the training. They do combat drills during this time as well. So take these two days and learn what you can. You will get to learn more while in college." Kable said. He felt having some military training would be beneficial for Shen Xia at this time as she is still growing and needs to learn more about combat and physical fitness.

"Mmm! Master is right. It is a perfect place to put your weights on and train all day!" Lilith instantly went into demon trainer mode, which made Shen Xia pout. She had forgotten about the bully who likes to keep adding heavier weights to her every day!

"Lilith, I leave her to you. Make sure she gets the most out of the training." Kable said seriously he truly hoped for his Little Fluff Fluff to gain as much strength as possible.

"Don't worry, I will make sure she is late, so she has to run extra laps!" Lilith said while giving a salute. At this time Shen Xia was looking at Kable as if he was a bully and looking at Lilith as if she was a demon. She wondered what these two had against her to make her work even harder! She really could only sigh and resign to her fate because she herself knew just how much she actually needed this training.. She had to get stronger if she was going to be heading to the capital after graduating.
