Chapter 274 The frightened Interns!

Chapter 274 The frightened Interns!

As Lisa narrowly escaped the top floor, her heart raced with the adrenaline of the daring escape.

Her thoughts immediately turned to reaching the ground floor, the first step in her mission to extract vital information from Xu Qing.

"... If I fail to complete this task, what could it possibly mean?" she pondered, her face reflecting a tumultuous array of emotions.

Unbeknownst to her, Zhang Wei was deliberately going easy on her, having recently shifted his focus towards enhancing his strength. Else Lisa's life in the company wouldn't be a walk in the park until he managed to bed her.

Exhaling with resignation, Lisa muttered, "I never imagined that coming to this new country would be filled with such troubles." As she continued her journey, she couldn't help but conjure a image of Zhang Wei toying with five flowers, a scene that sent a subtle blush across her face.

Her gaze then shifted to another captivating figure, a beautiful girl seated at the reception.

This girl was none other than Mo Yinxi, who had patiently waited for an audience with Zhang Wei for an entire hour. Thanks to Xie Meirong's prior information, she had chosen this moment to seek answers regarding her brother's whereabouts.

Lisa, her heart still racing from her recent escape, couldn't help but steal another glance at Mo Yinxi. She noticed the determined look in Mo's eyes, a stark contrast to her own.

Mo Yinxi, who had been sitting in the reception area, felt a mixture of impatience and determination.

She had been gathering her courage to approach Zhang Wei, the person who held the key to her brother's mysterious disappearance.

Finally, she decided it was time to make her move.

With a deep breath, Mo Yinxi rose from her seat and approached the front desk where a receptionist was busy with paperwork.

She politely inquired, "Excuse me, could you let Mr. Zhang Wei know that Mo Yinxi is here to see him? It's quite urgent."

The receptionist nodded and picked up the phone to relay the message to Huang Ren.

Mo Yinxi couldn't help but glance over at Lisa, who was now standing not far from her.

Mo Yinxi, noticing Lisa's gaze, smiled warmly. "Hello," she greeted, despite being inwadly shaken.

"Hello," Lisa greeted, her lips curving into a friendly smile. "May I ask for your name?"

With grace, Mo Yinxi extended her hand, introducing herself. "I'm Mo Yinxi. I've been eagerly awaiting a chance to speak with Mr. Zhang Wei. And you are?"

"I'm Lisa," she replied, meeting Mo Yinxi's hand with a firm shake. "I'm relatively new here. Could you tell me why you're seeking a meeting with the chairman?"

Mo Yinxi inquired, "The chairman?"

Lisa nodded, affirming, "Yes, you want to meet Zhang Wei, right? He's the chairman of the company."

"I see..." Mo Yinxi murmured, "Could you please arrange a meeting with him? It's urgent."

Lisa found herself in thought. On one side, she felt sympathy for Mo Yinxi, yet on the other, disturbing Zhang Wei once more could have dire consequences, especially now, suspecting he might be playing with those five interns.

"It might be better not to meet him right now. It could anger him, and that could put you in a difficult situation," Lisa cautiously advised.

"Huh?" Mo Yinxi was left utterly flabbergasted by the sudden warning.

Her hopes shattered like fragile glass, the sound of despair ringing in her ears.

Despite the turmoil Lisa's words had stirred within her, Mo Yinxi managed to draw a deep breath, swallowing her emotions while maintaining her composed exterior. "I appreciate your concern, Lisa. If it's not possible to meet Mr. Zhang Wei now, I understand."

Lisa, her eyes reflecting a trace of empathy, nodded. "I'm sorry for any inconvenience. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know."

Mo Yinxi managed a small, grateful smile, her eyes holding a glimmer of thanks. "Thank you, Lisa. I'll figure something out."

As Lisa turned and headed toward the reception area, her steps carrying her away, Mo Yinxi couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration and helplessness. It seemed as if the entire world was crumbling around her, leaving her betrayed by the harsh reality that loomed before her.

"What's the fastest way to increase my strength?" Zhang Wei muttered, a gentle frown on his brows as his hands rested on the polished surface of his desk.

The thought had crossed his mind before, but he was well aware that it was futile to contemplate. The system had informed him that the energy of heaven and earth in this place was simply too low for cultivation. Moving to a more favorable location would likely lead to his demise.

His best option now seemed to be seeking out other cultivators to kill and refine their souls, but even that task of finding them was far from easy.

The voice of the system broke through his thoughts. [Host, you can simply do what you excel at!]

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What am I best at...?"

[Seduce some bitches, Host! But this time, with a purpose!]

Zhang Wei was taken aback. "Explain..."

[Host, try to target women with martial arts family backgrounds, such as Zhao Hongyan from the capital. While this will naturally make you many enemies, they can serve as a source of power for you. You can refine them, and it's even better if the target is female, as you can use them as a furnace, and extract their yin essence for points.]

Zhang Wei pondered, his brow furrowed. "Wouldn't that be risky?"

[Then you can attempt to acquire items like the gem on the hairpin of Bai Wenling and absorb its energy.]

Zhang Wei questioned further, "Which method is the fastest?"

[The fastest method is to continue searching for treasures while collecting the souls of cultivators and refining them to increase your strength.]

Zhang Wei sighed. "So, there's no easy way..."

[...]

The system was frustrated, finding it difficult to comprehend how sleeping with women for cultivation seemed like the easiest path to Zhang Wei. [Host, if you manage to sleep with Feng Xinyue or her sister, it could provide a quick boost in your cultivation, given your new ability. However, you can't do anything to Feng Xinyue until she reverts back to her adult form and removes her dress. As for Feng Ruoyan—]

"She'd rather die than sleep with me!" Zhang Wei cursed, his face contorted with annoyance.

[That might be her choice, Host. But you're asking for the easiest way.]

Zhang Wei nodded, releasing a sigh as he made his way toward the secret room to greet the five girls and educate them about the organization's rules. n--O-)V(.e-/l..B(-1)-n

It was time to clear his mind and let off some steam.

"You, come first."

The atmosphere in Zhang Wei's private chamber grew tense as he decisively closed the door behind him.

The five young women before him bore expressions of anticipation and anxiety, their inquisitive eyes drawn to him like moths to a flame.

Zhu Ran, her features contorted in a mixture of fear and regret, was the first to receive his attention. She approached with timid steps, stammering, "Chairman, I-I had no idea it was you earlier."

Zhang Wei's countenance darkened, his gaze piercing through the excuses. "I don't want to hear your explanations. Tell me, how much did Huang Ren tempt you with?"

"Huh?" Zhu Ran faltered, casting uncertain glances at her four equally anxious companions. All eyes shifted between them, save for one girl who appeared strangely excited about the looming encounter with Zhang Wei.

"I-It's 50,000 HLD for each person," Zhu Ran confessed, a flush of embarrassment coloring her cheeks.

Unfazed, Zhang Wei nodded, his decision resolute. "Increase the amount to ten times."

"Really!?" Zhu Ran exclaimed, astonishment painting her features as she glanced at Zhang Wei in disbelief.

"Yes, but in return, you will need to cooperate with me during the night," Zhang Wei explained, his tone unwavering.

Zhu Ran turned to her girlfriends, seeking their opinions. Confusion danced across their faces, each of them unsure about this sudden turn of events. The peace-eyed girl spoke up, her voice laced with suspicion, "By cooperate, what do you mean? Are we supposed to participate in some... games as well?"

Zhang Wei affirmed, "Everything included."

!!

A chilling silence gripped them all as Zhu Ran, albeit nervously, spoke on behalf of her friends, "We agree."

Unbeknownst to them, they had just consented to an ordeal far more harrowing than they could imagine. The promise of a tenfold increase in payment seemed to veil the impending horrors of the night.

"Good, let's begin," Zhang Wei nodded, a cruel satisfaction lingering in his eyes.

"Ah!?"

Zhu Ran was caught off guard as Zhang Wei swiftly lifted her and placed her on the bed, silencing her with a forceful kiss.

Panic surged within her, "H-Hey, Wait!"

"No resistance, remember," Zhang Wei reminded coldly, the chilling reality sinking in.

"No, please stop!" Zhu Ran cried out, her voice tinged with desperation and fear as Zhang Wei continued to forcibly undress her.
