《Life of a Villain》Chapter 7: Leaving
Advertisement
"I need transport for the Green Heaven Empire,"
Initially, she was surprised, but quickly regained her composure.
As an employee of the Phoenix Pavilion, she was familiar with the news in and around the area. The fact that Lu An, the Young Master from the Lu family, has not left the city, never mind the empire, was a well-known fact.
"Do you have any work in Green Heaven Empire?" the girl smiled.
A frown appeared on Andy's face as he replied, "All I want is an answer to my question."
"My apologies, young master. I never meant that. If you need any help, I can help you," she hurriedly responded.
Apparently, that girl got terrified since the legend of Lu An is very well known in the city. She may have worked at the Phoenix Pavilion, but she is a native of the city and could not be accused of offending the infamous Sex Maniac.
People around the two heard their argument and began whispering to one another.
Seeing that people were noticing her, the girl's heartbeat sped up as she blurted.
"Young Master, I will take care of all your arrangements while you can wait in the guest room."
Andy nodded in response when he heard her.
"Please, follow me," she said and led Andy to the Guest room.
As Andy walked toward the guest room, he saw the grandness of the Phoenix Pavillion. This pavilion had every cultivation resource imaginable. Every counter was crowded with people.
This was Lu An's first time entering the Pavilion. Since he could not cultivate, he always felt inferior when visiting a place full of cultivators. Thus, it came as a surprise to many people when Lu An visited Phoenix Pavilion.
It wasn't long before he reached the Guest room. Even the guest room looked very luxurious. It was decorated with expensive curtains and had a chandelier hanging in the middle of the room.

As Andy sat on the couch, he stared at the girl standing across from him.
"I'd appreciate it if you would arrange my transportation." Andy requested.
She was shocked to find the arrogant sex maniac speaking politely to her. Nevertheless, she nodded and responded.
"How would you like to travel? Do you prefer private or public transportation?"
Her eyes remained fixed on him as she awaited an answer. It was the first time she had ever spoken with the infamous dandy of the city. Contrary to rumors, he was quite polite to her and never acted disgustingly towards her.
Andy stared at her and pondered for a moment before asking, "What advantages does the private one have?"
"We will provide you with ten mercenaries to ensure a safe journey and reach the Green Heaven Empire within a month,"
Andy was stunned when he learned how long it would take him to reach Green Heaven Empire, but then he remembered he was not on earth.
As he sighed in helplessness, he asked, "Fine, but these mercenaries won't turn on me, will they? You should know I can't cultivate,"
"You won't have to worry about that. All mercenaries are trustworthy," she said.
Andy glanced at her and said, "Fine, how fast can I leave?".
Her smile spread across her face as she said, "Please wait. I will arrange for transportation. But we will charge one hundred gold coins. Is that fine with you?"?
"Yes," Andy replied, nodding at her.
The girl smiled and left the place quickly. Her day was a good one since she received the business of 100 gold coins. One gold coin could be her incentive for the business.
In this world, a gold coin was of great value to a common person. A gold coin can provide a comfortable life for a couple of years.

When Andy saw the girl leave happily, he sighed and looked at the pouch he had just taken from the Treasury.
This is the world where the girl was ecstatic to get one gold coin as a business commission. Lu An was awarded ten thousand gold coins as his compensation.
For him, a hundred gold coins were nothing.
As Andy waited in the guest room of Phoenix Pavilion, news of Lu An's departure spread like wildfire.
In the Lu family's estate. Lu Yuan walked through the garden to see a gorgeous woman in her thirties wearing a red cheongsam playing with a two-year-old kid.
A slight smile spread over his face as he asked: "Mother, I heard the second brother is leaving. Is he not happy?"
"Don't bother with him. Let him do whatever he wants," the woman told Lu Yuan without looking at him. Her attention was still on the child.
That woman was Chi Yan, the mother of Lu An and Lu Yuan.
The training grounds of the Shi Clan estate. A beautiful young girl in her teens, dressed in blue robes, was sweating profusely as she practiced using the sword.
Standing at a distance, the young maidservant gazed at the dancing figure of the lady of Shi Clan.
The girl eventually finished her practice and grabbed a towel from the maidservant to wipe her face.
Seeing the girl, the maidservant said, "Lady, I have heard that Young Master Lu An is leaving the city,"
After stopping for a moment, she continued wiping her face. "Good for him. He should know his place. Lately, he got bothersome, and I was afraid that I might hurt him."
Her face was filled with pride as she spoke. She was Shi Yi, the girl Lu An was engaged to.
............................
As Andy waited in the guest room of Phoenix Pavilion, he tried to remember everything that had happened after Fang Yan had inherited the legacy of the Supreme Saint.
A girl entered the room with a loud knock. Andy was startled as he stared at her.
A smile appeared on the girl's face as she said, "Everything is arranged, please follow me."
Andy nodded, stood up, and followed her out. While he was walking out, he saw his coachman resting in the shadow outside the pavilion.
"Wait for a while," he said to the girl and began walking towards his coachman.
When he saw Lu An approaching, the coachman stood up.
'Go back,' Andy said, tossing a gold coin to him before walking toward the girl.
He caught the coin as he stared at the leaving figure of his Young Master. This was the first time he had rewarded him. His heart quickly sank as he saw the envy of everyone around him.
Several minutes later, Andy saw ten large men wearing uniforms from the Phoenix Pavilion gathered around a very luxurious carriage.
"This is the one," she said as she guided him to the carriage.
Ten men bowed their heads as they looked at Andy.
After taking one last look at the city, Andy boarded the carriage.

A Universe of Bloody Evolution
The Void was never meant to be opened to the Multiverse. The horrors waiting inside it should have never seen the light. And yet, the biggest mistake in the history of creation led to the impossible. In an event later known as the Outbreak, gates appeared in the first Universe, and with them, the Void was free. For ages the Void destroyed universe after universe, spreading its power in every direction, leaving only death and pain behind. But before every Universe met its end, it still had a chance. A small part of the population that survived the initial Outbreak and was granted a mysterious System to help them fight against the dangers that came from the Void. They were the Multiverse's last hope even if they couldn't stop the collapse of their own world. And so the cycle continued until the 36th Outbreak came. Leo Hale, a young reporter from Wolford, was one of the lucky ones to survive when the majority of Earth's population turned into monsters straight out of nightmares. Thrust into a constant battle for his life, Leo was determined to push forward and find his remaining family. Even if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity. After all, you either adapt or die. Story of progression and evolution with my take at the post-apocalyptic genre. Unlike most monster evolution stories where the monster rushes to gain human form, here I plan to do something quite the opposite. After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill you, being human can be hard. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. This is my first original novel. Also English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. Remember that even if initially this story takes place on Earth, fictional places, streets, etc will appear. Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday Average chapter length: 2000-2500 words (There might be exceptions as is the case with some of the first chapters - most of them are longer.)
