Chapter 165 - I need payment for this injustice Part 3

Inside the solemn Shi family villa, which was currently usurped and occupied by a loving husband and wife pair, the air brimmed with spiritual energy, and even the soil started showing signs of rich nourishment.

Every blade of grass on the villa's soil seemed to be sturdier and sharper. Some plants and trees had even managed to grow an entire inch taller overnight!

And in the middle of this magical villa, a lean muscular man with features so beautiful that they had to be sculpted from the moon hanging in the sky, was seated with his eyes closed and his breathing steady.

As he breathed in and out, his perfectly chiseled ċhėst rhythmically danced up and down, completely in sync with the energy waves undulating within his body, centered in his core.

Just a few minutes ago, Luther had been helplessly stuck at the bottleneck of his cultivation realm, soul stage 3.

When a soul core reaches stage 1, a cultivator is able to extend his or her spiritual sense and scan the surroundings.

At stage 2, one is able to circulate the spiritual energy through the body, strengthening the bones and muscles.

But stage 3 was on a completely different level than stage 2. This is because, in this stage, a cultivator is able to unleash attacks related to the type of soul core they had condensed.

Luther had been stuck at the bottleneck of this stage for a while now. Even though his core had already reached stage 3, he was still not able to demonstrate any affinity or unleash any attacks.

But all of that changed as of tonight.

As he closed his eyes and tried to stabilize this newly consolidated soul core, he sensed tremendous changes and currents in his body.

Even without Su Lin's guidance, he could vaguely decipher what this might potentially be.

After all, Luther had witnessed Su Lin's unfathomably mystical heavenly flames multiple times.

Just a small touch of those deadly flames are lethal to any human or cultivator who hasn't established a solid foundation.

Just like her heavenly flames, he had a feeling that his innate ability was most likely related to lightning or electricity.

As Luther greedily absorbed more and more spiritual energy into his core, this feeling became more clearer and vivid.

He felt as if his body was overflowing with so much energy that he could unleash it at any given instant and decimate the space in front of him.

Focusing on his body's center, he patiently tried to stabilize this feeling and his soul core.

While Luther was busy with his cultivation, Su Lin silently sat guard next to him, with Little white on her ŀȧp and an ȧssortment of herbs in front of her.

She even had Little white eat some of the herbs and some other mushy substance in the middle of her mixology experiments.

The poor thing whɨnėd softly, but in the end, ate whatever she gave it even though the taste was questionable at times.

And just like that, the entire night eventlessly ticked away.

......

The next day morning, as if someone was very desperately trying to be punctual, a surprise visitor showed up in Runyan's office, right at the start of the office hours.

Runyan's office was also located at the headquarters near Luther's restaurant. She only visited the production factory only when required.

As the production department head, she had to oversee a multitude of things ranging from management of workforce, supply chain, and the production unit itself. 

Hence, Runyan was the main company personnel responsible for getting permits approved from the mayor's office for their production unit.

And this is where they had run into a roadblock in the name of Grandpa Su.

Runyan had already reported this issue to Su Lin and the previous night, Su Lin had even sent her a cryptic message saying "Everything was resolved!"

But how could this matter resolve so easily?

After all the entirety of the Su family and the Shi family were nothing but a recurring headache to their group!

Runyan was pretty sure that those arrogant hypocrites wouldn't let them off so easily. 

So why was this person standing in front of her office early in the morning? 

Runyan's eyes widened in surprise as she calmed herself and asked her ȧssistant to send the visitor in. 

Su Han casually strutted in and made himself comfortable in the chair opposite to Runyan's desk without waiting for a formal greeting. 

She was the production department head? Su Han couldn't help but sneer in contempt.

In his perspective, the nervous girl in front of him was not fit to be in such a position of power.

But then what else could he expect from a shoddy make do company such as this, which probably would not last till the end of the month?!

For heaven's sake, this timid looking woman always hung around in the backdrop of Su Lin like a brainless lackey. 

Chuckling sarcastically Su Han lifted his stern eyes which resembled his grandfather a lot and looked at the woman in front of him from top to bottom. 

She seemed to have an awkward expression in her face, perfectly indicative of how inexperienced and clueless she was.

Su Han clicked his tongue and rudely dumped the contents of his briefcase on the table. 

A wad of papers messily scattered all over the neat and tidy crystal clear table, some even spilling over on the floor. 

"Here! take your approvals and don't bother us anymore. In the future, go get your damn approvals from the mayor's office yourself"

"We are not your employees or servants to do your office work for you!"

"Stupid incapable idiots. Blaming your inabilities on our family is not going to solve anything."
