Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 87 - 75: Just Heavy Makeup!

On the podium, Chairman Chen Shu’s face was drenched in even more sweat as he clenched the Soul Talisman, trying to stand up.

Yet, amidst the billowing red smoke, the figure shook the long sword, remarkably throwing the corpse of the fat boss, impaled on the sword, back into the cage with a "clang".

Quanquan Hu, hiding inside the robe, breathed a sigh of relief, a fox-like smile appearing on his face.

That troublemaking bastard went back into the cage, so the press conference can continue, right?

Together with Black Ears, they turned to take a glance at their master in the audience, and upon seeing Peach Blossom Eyes and the Small Bronze Medicine Box, they stepped into the white mist at the boundary of a hazy dream and reality, returning to Fox Mountain.

Click! Click! Click!

The photographers were still taking pictures frantically, some of whom regretted not capturing the moment earlier, now madly pressing the shutters towards the fat boss’s corpse in the cage.

A journalist started clapping "clap clap clap clap".

Soon, more and more journalists began to applaud, the sound resembling tidal waves.

The applause gradually subsided, yet a journalist stood up, excitedly asking.

"Chairman Chen Shu, was that just now the armed force of our Immortal Technique Committee that executed justice on the spot?"

On the podium, Chairman Chen Shu had just stood up, his body stiff, brain frozen, sweat already blurring his makeup.

He put the Soul Talisman back in his pocket, took out a handkerchief again, wiped his face, then put on a smile with a slight tremor in his voice, "Ah, yes...yes indeed..."

Another journalist asked again.

"Chairman Chen Shu, could you introduce us to the armed force we just witnessed?"

Chairman Chen Shu hesitated for a moment.

"Uh...that’s classified."

At this point, he suddenly felt conflicted... the press conference was already a mess, the cage housed a bloody corpse. The vast conference hall was filled with the scent of blood. Should the meeting be interrupted?

According to common sense, it should indeed be interrupted.

But...

He glanced at the cameras, at the live stream on the phone screens, seeing one comment after another rush through.

[Full of martial virtue!]

[6666]

[Magnificent!]

[Hahaha, the committee breached the Dark World four times!]

[Three live streams, four breaches into the Dark World!]

He steadied himself, straightened his posture, and adjusted the smile on his face.

"We just experienced an exciting little episode.

"It was our oversight, very sorry about that.

"The conference is paused for ten minutes. May the logistics and cleaning staff please remove the criminal’s corpse and tidy up the carpet.

"To all attendees, the conference will resume in ten minutes!"

The conference room was immediately filled with suppressed laughter and chatter.

Bai Mo and Peach Blossom Eyes also breathed a sigh of relief.

Roadside Flower had just sprouted a tender new leaf. If the meeting could continue, that would be perfect!

...

The meeting lasted all afternoon, and by the time it adjourned, twilight had arrived.

The staff guided the attending journalists, committee members, and expert advisors to the canteen to join the feast.

Chairman Chen Shu and Wu Qingyun walked shakily to the small office, closed the door, drew the curtains, opened the laptop, and entered a secure video conference.

They saw that a dozen or so members were already prepared, chatting and laughing.

At this moment, they all clapped together, breaking out into laughter.

"Chairman Chen Shu, congratulations!"

"Today’s press conference was very successful!"

"Hahaha, the effect was excellent, our committee is now dominating the trending searches."

"Great job, great job!"

Chairman Chen Shu let out a bitter laugh.

"Just a little more... and my old life would have been forfeit."

With those words, the video conference went silent.

But the host of the meeting, Wu Jianxian, spoke in a hearty voice.

"Hahaha, fortune always favors the good. Don’t speak such disheartening words!

"Your West State City is truly a place of hidden talents.

"You have a mysterious Mr. Master of the Alchemy Path, and now yet another mysterious Mr. Master from the Sword Immortal Path."

Wu Jianxian didn’t waste words and went right into discussing the analysis report on the mysterious Sword Immortal.

"We’ve analyzed it, judging by that Sword Immortal’s actions, they are approximately at Sequence Eight, but honestly, their martial techniques aren’t strong.

"But what’s frightening is that he has top-notch equipment.

"That sword is a Tier Nine Immortal Artifact of the Ancient Immortal.

"The robe is also a top-tier piece of equipment from the Immortal Martial Path, the Resentful Ghost Robe.

"He also has an Ancient Immortal Master who helps him freely enter and exit the dream realm!"

That sword and that robe, they are very enticing!

And the access to the dream realm is controlled by this Dream Ancient Immortal.

"...to move freely between the dream realm and reality, with top-grade equipment by his side, it shows... he must be a very favored disciple of the Ancient Immortal."

Upon hearing this, many of the bigwigs fell silent.

All of them were having a tough time in the dream realm, either as labor for the Ancient Immortal or as grandchildren. Today, damn it, a pampered prince by the Ancient Immortal emerges!

Beside him, Wu Qingyun suddenly spoke up.

"I want it too.

"That sword is very nice.

"That robe too."

The conference room fell silent again.

Not to mention Wu Qingyun, even Wu Jianxian was currently in sports attire, wielding an alloy long sword.

If that Young Master Sword Immortal could proactively join the committee, it would be great. Then arrangements could be made to have Wu Jianxian equip the Ancient Sword and the robe, equipped, he could take his combat strength to the next level!

Wu Jianxian’s voice rang out again.

"Well... we don’t have that at the moment.

"Our committee is rather poor right now.

"But don’t lose heart, don’t feel discouraged. Over the past three years, we’ve already accomplished a lot, achieved many things.

"In the future, we’ll have the Ancient Sword, we’ll have the robe."

He paused for a moment.

"Oh, by the way, good news, our sequence detection machine has been developed, and it will soon be dispatched to associations everywhere.

"Everyone prepare to receive them and get ready to put them to use, hahaha."

...

The canteen was brightly lit.

Several hundred people sat at nearly a hundred tables in this canteen, their glassware clinking, exchanging toasts, filled with laughter and merriment.

"Hahaha, I’m really glad I came today, no regrets."

"Yeah, it’s quite satisfying."

"I really learned something today."

"The committee is so strong, executing that criminal with one sword stroke."

"Did you get a shot of the Red Smoke Swordsman?"

"I got one! The long sword piercing the criminal, it looked so powerful."

"Do you think these photos can be allowed to circulate, or will they be banned?"

"What ban, the live stream was seen by millions."

...

The expert advisors were dining together at one table.

Peach Blossom Eyes was tearing into his third roast chicken, face covered in grease, eyes full of joy.

Master Chong pulled Bai Mo aside, whispering complaints.

"Damn, I was scared to death today.

"When that Blood Man crawled out of the cage, I was ready to run.

"I’d even figured out which window to escape through. Hehe.

"Didn’t expect the committee had such a tough trick up their sleeve.

"I need to have a good talk with the secretary about this, the subsidy can’t be the same as before, gotta add compensation for psychological distress..."

Bai Mo twitched his mouth.

The Divine Sense shifted to the Bronze Medicine Box held by Peach Blossom Eyes nearby. There, the Roadside Flower had already sprouted three tender little leaves!

Just two more leaves, and it can bloom!

This meeting really delighted the Roadside Flower. A few more casual appearances and its cultivation will be complete!

Suddenly, they heard a commotion. It was Chairman Chen Shu, leading several leaders, going from table to table toasting.

At this moment, Chairman Chen Shu had changed into a new suit, his face freshly made up, displaying a healthy, rosy complexion, smiling as he toasted each table of guests.

"Chairman Chen Shu, a toast to you!"

"Our committee is truly mighty."

Upon hearing the praise, Chairman Chen Shu’s face was all smiles.

However, he knew in his heart, the committee might not be as strong as others imagined...

For three years, the committee started from scratch, struggled to establish itself, developed rapidly. Up to now, it often wavered on the edge of failure.

But the committee was rapidly developing, very rapidly indeed!

The committee’s top-tier strength was stationed in Shangjing, hosting various research and development efforts.

New instruments, new weapons, were constantly being developed and produced.

Today, his task was to make everyone believe in the strength of the committee during this period of development, while hiding its weaknesses, to intimidate all adversaries!

As of this moment, in the banquet hall, all the guests coming up to toast only saw Chairman Chen Shu’s easygoing demeanor, his face beaming with happiness and healthy glow, without knowing his Divine Sense was exhausted, his eyes dim, his face pale, not realizing his bright eyes were just contact lenses, and the rosy radiance on his face was just heavy makeup.
