Beast World: The Villain Baby Is Not Conforming to the System!-Chapter 159: Sorry to Keep You Waiting

After leaving Huafeng, Corbin slowly made his way back.

He knocked on Jenkins’s office door and stood in front of his desk, respectfully saying, "First Young Master..."

Jenkins glanced at him and smiled, "So, it’s the third brother."

"How’s the task I assigned to you... going?"

Corbin lowered his head, "...I’m sorry, Song Chen is impervious and unwilling to agree."

Jenkins slowly stood up and walked in front of Corbin, "Unwilling?"

"Yes, he is unwilling."

"Is it that he is unwilling... or is it because you didn’t put in your best effort, third brother?" Jenkins patted his shoulder and sighed.

The next moment, Jenkins’s hand pressed down hard on his head, slamming it onto the desk!

"Bang—" The dull thud of his head hitting the solid wood desk echoed in the office.

Corbin groaned, and blood immediately flowed from his forehead.

The blood trickled down across his eyes and nose bridge.

Corbin quietly clenched his palm and dared not resist.

Because it would be worse.

Jenkins’s hand bulged with veins, yet his facial expression remained calm.

He lowered his head and spoke deeply, "Could it be that you... want to side with the second brother?"

Corbin felt a chill run through him.

People say Esie is a madman, but actually, Jenkins is just as crazy, except Esie is more reckless, while Jenkins is ambitiously mad, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

"No... how could that be..." Corbin spoke, the blood on his forehead seeping into his mouth.

He tasted the metallic sweetness of the blood, but he had to swallow it.

"First Young Master, you know, my child... the child who had already formed, because of him... died..."

Corbin was also Freya’s Beast Husband, and the child she once carried and lost, was his own.

Corbin was really looking forward to this child.

But because of Esie, his only hope in the Burles family was gone too.

"So, how could I possibly stand by him? I’m on your side, First Young Master, I firmly believe you are the only heir to the Burles family."

Jenkins released Corbin’s head, "Third brother, it’s good that you understand."

Corbin staggered to his feet, "I will loyally stay by your side, First Young Master..."

Jenkins smiled, patting his shoulder, "You’re too polite, third brother, we’re brothers, you should call me big brother!"

"Yes, First Young Master..." Corbin complied, still addressing him as First Young Master.

Corbin knew, if he ever called him big brother, Jenkins would suspect him of betrayal, thinking he wanted to compete for the heir’s position.

Jenkins chuckled lightly, looking at his head, then glancing at the desk, "Oh, is your head okay, third brother?"

"It’s fine..." Corbin ignored the blood on his head and instead pulled up his shirt sleeve to clean the bloodstains off the desk.

"It’s just a desk, now that it’s dirty, why not just throw it away." Jenkins stepped back a few steps, making an internal call for someone to remove the desk.

Jenkins’s assistant soon entered, seeing Corbin standing by, his face caked with dried blood — yet they acted as if they hadn’t seen him, as if it was a common sight.

He walked past Corbin directly, calling others in to move the bloodstained desk away.

Before leaving, he reminded Jenkins, "First Young Master, you have an appointment with a guest shortly..."

"Got it." Jenkins lit a cigarette and left, leaving Corbin standing there alone, gaze upon the shiny new desk.

Corbin wiped the dried blood from his face, a faint mocking laugh escaping his throat, but he dared not laugh aloud as he knew Jenkins’s surveillance was in place.

To Jenkins, Corbin was just a servant to be ordered around at will, treated kindly when pleased without any benefits, and whipped when displeased, used as a punching bag...

While at the Burles family, there was some restraint to prevent visible injuries.

But now, with no one around to hold him back and Esie absent, Jenkins became increasingly unrestrained, embracing his free reign.

Even with others present, he no longer hid his actions, almost wanting everyone to see his pathetic state, witness how he tamed a dog.

No worries, he’s long been used to it.

Calmly cleaning his face, Corbin stepped out.

He looked as if nothing had happened, but his bruised and swollen forehead gave away that he’d been beaten again.

Indeed, a bastard child whom no one valued.

Seeing Corbin’s condition, others passed by with a glance of disdain, not greeting him.

What good is noble birth? Even they were better off than him?

From Corbin’s situation, they seemed to gain a sense of superiority...

That night, Corbin brought along a watch capable of blocking several signals and arrived at a certain location.

He opened the compartment door, seeing Song Chen and Yu Man inside, and greeted them with a soft smile, "You’ve been waiting long."

"It’s late, so let’s get straight to the point," Song Chen only glanced at Corbin’s injury, guessing perhaps it was Jenkins who injured Corbin due to ’inefficiency’ today.

But he didn’t pay much heed to it.

Song Chen only wished to return home early.

The wife insisted on coming, and now it’s quite late; it’s time a pregnant woman should be getting proper rest!

"What was the meaning of the message you left at my company?"

Today, it seemed Corbin accidentally spilled tea, but in front of them, Corbin used the spilled tea to write the address here and Lai’s name.

Corbin cast his eyes down, "I’m sorry to meet you this way."

He looked at the Light Brain on his wrist and said, "My Light Brain has always been monitored by my big brother, so when I visited you today, I couldn’t speak openly."

"Now, I’ve blocked my big brother’s surveillance, and he probably thinks I’m still in my room sleeping, so he won’t find out for a while."

"I’m here to inform you about Lai’s situation..." Corbin said calmly, lifting his gaze.

At this moment, he was very different from the timid form Song Chen had seen him in before.

"In fact, I’ve already met with Lai some time ago and reached a consensus."

"I’m here to also let you know, Lai was indeed captured by Esie, but currently, there is no danger to his life, so you can rest assured."

Certainly reassured? How can they be assured?

Yu Man was taken aback, slightly frowning, so Lai knowingly walked into the tiger’s mouth!

Lai left but a few words and did not clarify the situation!

"What consensus did you reach?" Song Chen looked at him, "What is it you want Lai to do for you?"

The technology of the Rest Pod... impossible, Lai would not casually offer Yu Man’s hard-earned research.
