Chapter 104
Seeing Joseph agreeing to their offer, the three of them were very happy and kept on chatting.
The three of them had many things in common. They were all beautiful ladies that were around the same age. As of now, despite Paige being slightly lower, they all had pretty similar social status as well. However, from the perspectives of Leng Yijun and Yin Chaoge, Paige was after all an employee in Usmait Industries. That company was ranked second in the whole of Usmait. Although her position was slightly lower than the both of them, Paige had a very competent husband on the other hand. Therefore, the three of them could get along so well with each other. Joseph felt very bored sitting by the side since he couldn’t join their conversation. As their conversation went on, they proceeded to talk about womanly topics, such as fashion and make-up. They would even talk about some intimate questions, which made Joseph felt very awkward. One of the questions Yin Chaoge raised to Leng Yijun was, “You’ve been single for such a long time. Don’t you want to find a man? How can you endure being alone?” Leng Yijun’s answer was even more incredible. She immediately admitted in a defeated tone, “What about you? Aren’t you single too? Don’t tell me you’ve found a man. You don’t even look like a woman at first glance.” Then the two of them looked at Paige with their eyes filled with curiosity. Yin Zhaoge rolled her eyes and said to Paige with a strange smile.You ought to be more mindful, Paige. I noticed that you legs were sort of wobbly when you came over ust now. “Excuse me, you girls go ahead. I’ll make a move to the toilet.” Joseph couldn’t stay to listen to them any longer. D*mn, how could they be so perverted on the inside despite being so beautiful on the outside? After all, they were one of the top ranked women in Usmait. Joseph couldn’t stand them and went to the toilet as an attempt to escape from them. Only after he went to the toilet and smoked a cigarette, he calmed down a little. He sent a message to Paige, and said that he would leave first. He asked her to go shopping with them.
Then, he transferred a hundred thousand yuan for her to go shopping. Meanwhile, when Paige, who was chatting with Leng Yijun and Yin Chaoge on the dinner
table, saw the hundred thousand yuan bank transfer, she was stunned and gave a small yelp out of surprise. Out of curiosity, Leng Yijun took a glance at Paige’s phone screen. She exclaimed, “Goodness, Paige, your husband is so cool! He actually transferred a hundred thousand yuan just for you to go shopping with us. Is he actually that well off?” “What? Joseph transferred a hundred thousand yuan to Paige for shopping?” Yin Chaoge became curious about it too. In her heart, she had always thought that Joseph was actually poor instead. Paige smiled and said, “Joseph doesn’t have money either. Or should I say, he doesn’t have that much money anymore. This should be the money that was left when he previously established a company in Usmait.” Yin Chaoge then asked, “Your husband ran a company in Usmait before?” Paige nodded and said, “Yes. Six or seven years ago, he set up a small company. But then he was cheated, so he went to Oplen after that, and then he went to the Outer Regions to join the army. He just came back recently. “Why did this story sound so familiar?” Yin Chaoge wondered as she listened to Paige’s explanation.
At this time, Leng Yijun replied to Yin Chaoge, “Yes, it does sound familiar. When I first heard it, I was frightened too. I thought that Paige’s husband was that legendary man from our city. Besides, Paige’s husband and that legendary man shared the same surname, Dawson.” As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Chaoge suddenly realized something. She nodded and agreed, “That’s right. I checked the information about that legendary man from Usmait. I think his name was Fernando Dawson, though he had already disappeared for five years. However, recently I have heard that he came back some time ago and got back Junlin Group overnight.” “Now, all the senior employees of Junlin Group, including some from the Yin Group, have all gone back there. Seems like the Yin family will have a hard time in the future. The fact that that legendary man had such an influence in Usmait five years ago, and now that he is back, the future is just too uncertain.” While they were talking, a man who was looking at his mobile phone suddenly stood up and shouted in shock, “Oh my god, the Junlin Group has made an announcement. Their new President will hold a press conference at the end of next month! That is in a half! Moreover, the founder of the Junlin Group is in fact the legendary man from our city. Goodness! It’s incredible that he is back! It also seems like he had gotten back the Junlin Group!” As soon as the man finished speaking, the whole steak restaurant fell silent. Leng Yijun and Yin Chaoge quickly took out their mobile phones and opened the news to read the news reports as well. The two of them were also very shocked for some time. “Oh my god, how amazing. I can finally meet that person. All these years, I’ve always wanted to meet him in Usmait, but I never had the chance. Now that the opportunity is coming…” Leng Yijun said excitedly. Yin Chaoge also nodded and said, “Me too. This time round, my purpose of coming back was to meet three people. One of them is Paige’s husband, which I’ve already met. He is amazing. While the other one is the founder of Junlin Group, a legendary man who is about the same age as me. As for the last one, I’ll keep it a secret. At this moment, both Leng Yijun and Yin Chaoge were very excited. Paige was also a little surprised, but deep down, she was not that excited. After all, no matter how powerful the current President of the Junlin Group was, it had nothing to do with her. Moreover, she was already married. She would never fall in love with another man in this world besides Joseph. Thereofre, Paige smiled and said to Leng Yijun and Yin Chaoge, “Yijun, Zhaoge, you two aren’t in love with that Fernando guy, aren’t you? I’ve heard about him these days, and it seems like there was no news about him being married already. Since that man is indeed very excellent, why don’t you two get yourselves ready?”. If Joseph were to be present and overheard that, he would surely be extremely exasperated. Did she know that she was actually selling out her husband again? Was she having fun doing so? She surely was his silly wife, yet he couldn’t bring his heart to hit her, and he couldn’t bear to see her end up crying if he scolded her. The thing Joseph feared the most was to see Paige crying. Therefore, if she really cried, his heart would certainly shatter into pieces. 1 At this time, Yijun said while blushing, “What? No way. I don’t even know what he looks like. How can I marry him? Besides, I want to find a husband, who is a hero in the military, like yours, Paige. That would be extremely cool! Speaking of which, Paige, you should totally ask your husband if he has any friends that retired from the military with him. Perhaps he could introduce me to some of them. Of course, my standards are very high. They have to at least be able to defeat me in a fight.”
Paige nodded in agreement. In fact, she had always been thinking about this matter in her heart. As a senior, Yijun had been very headstrong since she was a child. She did not like men. Besides, her husband was the God of War in the Outer Region! Her husband’s friends and brothers must be very highly ranked as well. Then, she could introduce some of them to her senior, Yijun.
The next moment, just as she was about to speak, the image of a man suddenly appeared in her mind. She then said to Leng Yijun, “By the way, Yijun, my husband does have a friend that is by his side right now. It’s Alpha 1. My husband said that Alpha 1 is also very powerful. What do you think about him?” Leng Yijun frowned and thought for a moment. She then shook her head and said, “I don’t have that kind of feeling towards him. I don’t know why but I don’t like men who are always smiling and talking. Alpha l is very excellent, and I also agree that he is very strong, but I just don’t have the feeling of getting married to him. It’s not that he’s bad, but I just really don’t feel that way towards him.” Paige nodded and said, “Alright then. I’ll ask Joseph for you some other day. He has been in the Outer Region for so many years, hence he must know a lot of excellent men. I’ll definitely introduce you to the best. But Yijun, can you briefly tell me what kind of man you like? Leng Yijun frowned and thought for a while before saying, “Well, I can’t really describe it well. I like men who do not talk much, but actually care a lot about me. Someone who seems cold on the outside but is actually very strong and competent. To be honest, Paige, although my name is really cool, I’m actually not a cold person. I’m only cold to outsiders. In fact, I’ve always been eager to fall in love and get into a memorable relationship.” At this time, Yin Chaoge interrupted and said, “Leng Yijun, are you looking for a killer? A cold and handsome killer from the Outer Region battlefield? Actually, Yin Chaoge was just joking with Leng Yijun, yet she really nodded unexpectedly. Yin Chaoge was shocked and her eyes were wide open when she saw her response. Leng Yijun felt a little guilty under her gaze, hence she quickly changed the subject and asked her, “By the way, Zhaoge, don’t keep asking questions about me. What about you? You have been saying that apart from Paige’s husband, you wanted to meet two other men when you came back to Usmait. One of them is the President of the Junlin Group. He is a legend of Usmait, but you are also as great as he is. You are the princess of the Parry family, and you are so beautiful. Don’t you want to try to work things out with the President of the Junlin Group?” After thinking for a while, Yin Chaoge suddenly blushed and lowered her head to drink her coffee without saying anything. The shy look on her face immediately made both Paige and Leng Yijun interested. Paige was even more interested in gossip like these. She quickly asked Yin Chaoge, “Chaoge, you already have someone you like, right? Hurry up and tell us! Who is it and when can we meet him?”
Yin Chaoge’s face became redder, but then she sighed and said, “Well, to be honest, I have someone I like in my heart. Therefore, despite being very curious about the President of Junlin Group, it is just out of admiration and I just want to see who that legendary man was. I won’t fall in love with him. As for the man I like, I don’t even know where he is now.” As Yin Chaoge spoke, she recalled an incident that happened two months ago. It was at the border of Smiycia. Then, she was on the brink of death, and even Charles, who was protecting her, was in a critical situation. The man, who was nearly two meters tall and had a muscular build, carried a huge sword on his back… He was so domineering and powerful that he could scare away all the killers with a single strike with his sword. Such a sight left a very deep impression in her heart. That tall and powerful man gave her the sense of security she needed for the whole day. There were a few times when she fell asleep at night, she would dream of the tall and strong man. She dreamed of her petite body being held tightly in that man’s arms. While Yin Chaoge was thinking about that man, a trace of longing rose in her eyes. However, the reality was that the man she liked did not even look at her that day, because the man was actually outside, and she was locked in the car by Charles. She could only watch the man carry the huge sword on his back and disappear in the desert through the window. “What? Zhaoge, don’t you know where that person is now? Who is he? What does he do…” Leng Yijun asked Yin Chaoge curiously. She was really curious about what kind of man could capture the heart of such a beautiful girl like Yin Chaoge, since it is very difficult for a woman like her to be tempted. For example, Paige, who is sitting opposite her, may look silly on the outside, or perhaps she was indeed quite silly, but the man she likes and also someone who she was willing to marry, is also a top-notch man like Joseph. Therefore, she is very curious about the man Yin Chaoge likes now. Paige also looked at Yin Chaoge curiously. After thinking for a while, Yin Chaoge said yearningly, “I don’t know his full name, I only know that he seems to be called ‘Slaughter’! As for what he does, he seems to be from an extremely powerful organization in the Outer Region. I think he was one of the Four Divine Kings in the Dragon Temple! The next moment, the scene of the incident that day appeared in Yin Chaoge’s mind again. The man appeared domineeringly and slashed a someone who was ranked God of War who abducted her with just a swish of his sword. He was way more powerful than the God of War in Usmait, Wang Tianhai. He simply slashed that man in half just like that. After that, the man said domineeringly, “I’m the Lord of the Dragon Temple, The Forth Divine King. My name is Slaughter’!
