Luo finished talking with the foreign investors and by the way they smiled it seemed that the deal was successful. Luo then started casually talking with them for a while, having a few laughs now and then, making the investors loosen up to him, it could be seen that Luo was trying to foster a friendly relationship with the foreign investors by the simple act of just telling them where they should visit since they are in a new country and things to do to enjoy themselves in the country. In this way he could build a relationship with them which was not only based on the intent of only doing business. It was a very sly move since it could help him when making deals later on with the same group. After talking merrily for a while he bid them farewell and walked out of the restaurant.
He stopped right outside and then looked around and started walking away from the building while casting a few glances here and there every now and then. When he made sure that no was watching him he increased his pace and tried to hide his face with the collar of an overcoat, which he brazenly took from a bench when the owner wasn't watching. He made a few turns around the blocks and then entered a dark alley. There was already a man standing there, Luo went to meet up with him and started discussing things with him in low voices.
The man then nodded to him and then hastily made to leave the alley. Luo stood there having an eerie smile on his face with narrowed eyes. Just a bit more, a bit more and I can finally ruin xia ruo and join my beloved's side again. Luo then quietly laughed at how stupid Xia Ruo and that manager from the Zhang Corporation were, he was already an employee with some status inside Xia Ruo's company by the time she took over, she was okay but it was him who had real skill and he despised her management skills and how she took over the company without doing anything at all, it was just like the company came in a shiny wrapping and she could just have. He hated how he had to work so hard but still wasn't at a better position compared to hers.
That's when she met her, she was like a dazzling light in his life that could take away all the dark clouds from his life. Xia Su approached him with a smile that was breathtaking and talked about how her cruel sister had made her life difficult and still wanted to ruin her after she was abandoned by the Xia family, after hearing her story his heart ached for her and he decided to do everything he could to make her happy, even if it meant betraying the very hand that fed him. He decided to increase his efforts so that he could get close to Xia Ruo, and luckily his efforts were noticed by Xia Ruo and the young manager from the Zhang Corporation. Fools the both of them, couldn't even see that they were just helping a disaster come into their lives.

He loved Xia Su and would do everything for her, so when he heard about what had happened to her at the party, he had become mad from anger and wanted to tear Xia Ruo to pieces but rationality won over and he decided it was best to not waste his efforts. He could only console her when he heard her sobbing and her pitiful and weak voice that expressed that she was wronged, swearing that he would now definitely ruin Xia Ruo. Since she was so terrible he didn't mind taking away her company from her. After he became one of the senior executives he had made many preparations to make Xia Ruo lose the company, he had made these preparations right under the noses of Xia Ruo and the young company manager, and he was ready. He could take away everything from Xia Ruo and avenge his beloved. The man he was currently was talking with was one of his underling about the plans and its proceedings, Luo could just tell all of this with a call but he was cautious by nature, in order to avoid any problems he had to carry out this conversation and give orders through talking face to face so that there wouldn't be any unforeseen problems. When he thought about his diabolical and ingenious plans he had set to ruin Xia Ruo and avenge Xia Su a creepy and malevolent smile crept on his face and he started talking to himself in a voice filled with ill intent.
"My love just wait for me a bit and I will come back to you, and as for that Mo wenzi, hmph he is already in jail and I have been paying the right amount of bribes to get the case going on for as long as possible so he won't be getting in between us any time soon, and the only thing now left is to ruin Xia Ruo and take away everything from her, and it will all be over in an instant, hehehahahahAHAHAHAHAHAH-urgh!"
A car suddenly came into the alley moving fastly and hit Luo in the back cutting his evil mastermind laugh midway, the car stopped after it hit him and luo was sent flying and then crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Is he dead?" Zhang Fei said in a calm manner.
[Nope, still alive.] Coco replied Zhang Fei's question after he looked at luo and saw him slowly moving while groaning in pain and trying to stand up. Zhang Fei just moved the car in reverse preparing to ram the car into him again. The car rammed into Luo again who was still halfway trying to make himself stand and sent him flying again.
"Dead?"
[Geez host you suck at this, no he is not dead he is still- oh wait he just died.] Coco stopped criticizing Zhang Fei midway and told him of Luo's demise once he scanned his body and noticed some of the functions critical for life activity failing. Zhang Fei then turned the car around and started leaving the alley, he called one of his men to cleanup this mess. This idiot here thought that he was all cool shit because of how he could fool Xia Ruo and the young manager, but Zhang Fei had already kept his eye on him. He started climbing the ranks of the Xia Ruo's company right after she took over and he had taken notice of this, while many people thought it was because of his hard work, he knew it was because Xia Su and Xia Jian were pulling the strings in the dark making sure he got the best opportunities so he could get close to Xia Ruo and then finally screw her over. Xia Su had made use of her main lead halo to win over Luo who foolishly did everything she asked. Pathetic. That was the only thing Zhang Fei could describe this man with.

[Host I know this person was plotting against us, but was it necessary for you to kill him yourself?]
"No, I was going to let one of my men get rid of him, but he committed the ultimate sin." when Coco heard his host's answer he was intrigued by what this ultimate sin could be, just what could it be that could rile up his host to such an extent. He decided to ask his host in a serious tone.
[Host.......you can tell me, what is it?]
"He called my books shit." Hmph, he even called my fans shit.
[.....] Coco just looked at his host with a look that said 'wtf!? That's it!?' (-_-)
[But you could have also asked Xia Ruo to get rid of him since it was her mess to begin with.]
Zhang Fei didn't look at Coco and gave a one word answer. "Incompetent"
[......................right, no argument there] Although Xia Ruo wasn't at the level of Zhang Fei she still was someone with ability, she had already noticed some discrepancies in the company and was pretty sure one of the higher executives was trying to mess with her business. In time she would have found out about Luo herself and would have taken care of him in her own way but to Zhang Fei who did this task way before her, ruthlessly gave her the title of 'Incompetent'. In truth, Xia Ruo would have probably taken care of this mess on her own.
The cube and the host silently drove away from the crime scene and not caring a bit for about how they ruined Xia Su's big plan to give a Xia Ruo a big blow.
Meanwhile Mo wenzi was sitting on a bench in the prison with big bulky and scary looking men surrounding him, they appeared to be there as his goons. Mo wenzi sat there basking in the sunlight with his eyes closed. He then opened them and called out to one of his men.
"Baldy, Do you know why I am here."
A short heighted man who was had an exceptionally shiny head when compared to most people's future said in a questioning tone," Because you killed a bunch of men, right boss?"
"No you idiot I was set up for the crime, and it was Zhang Fei who did it, even now I'm still here mainly because of his intervention and his backing the families of the kids I kill- I mean who were thought to be killed by me. So this problem can go away, do you know how that can happen?"
Baldy just answered in a confused manner, "By asking that Zhang Fei to stop messing with us."
Mo wenzi just looked at Baldy without blinking for a while thinking whether he was serious or was he joking or if he was just stupider than most people (like himself heh) . He heaved a sigh and decided to give up on that train of thought and just said in a chilling voice with a serious tone while staring straight ahead at baldy.
"By killing him."
This would not only help Mo wenzi potentially get out of this sticky situation but also settle his grudge with Zhang Fei, he was a fool previously for thinking simple tricks to mess with Zhang Fei. Now that he was here, he had nothing to lose, so he could go all out. He then thought about Xia Su and about what had happened to her, he felt angry for her but he also felt a bit resentful, she wasn't the only person who ended up in a bad situation. If he was free he would directly go to meet Xia Su, and would console her without leaving her side, but she didn't do the same, she could come meet him but she didn't come at all. He truly felt wronged.

The Werewolf Cheerleader
Being a cheerleader is easier than being a werewolf. Jessica Tumbleleague is a typical teenage girl who loves being a cheerleader at Moondale High. But after an encounter with a werewolf in the woods, Jessica discovers a frightening world she never thought is real. Dangerous magic, deadly fierce spirits, and other malevolent creatures. Now Jessica must fight the forces of darkness to protect her hometown while balancing her supernatural life with her high school life. But can she control the beast within herself? Note: This is a rewrite of the original with the same name. I decided to change the third-person style to first-person because I liked Jessica's voice better. She is funny and very strong. With the story only focusing on her, I can keep the mystery suspenseful and the reader can experience what Jessica is experiencing. It is a typical YA style, but it is fun to write as your main character. There are changes, but the first and second books will be similar to the third-person chapters. Let me know what you think and I hope you will enjoy this new version of the Werewolf Cheerleader. I will post the chapters every Friday in the afternoon. P.S, there is a Werewolf Cheerleader short story published in the Tales of Dungeons, All Hallows book. Titled The Werewolf Cheerleader: Castle and Ghouls. The short is also in first-person, which made me decide to change the book series into first-person. The link is below if you want to check it out. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08MCS82R5

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
