The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"What? That's so sneaky!" Natasha gritted her teeth, obviously annoyed.

"If it was Zhao Diman who used them to manufacture, no wonder he only made these substandard products. However, I am Xiao Hei, the greatest scientist of the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains. I've even cracked the speed issue, I can definitely make high-quality Super Technology Weapons of the Divided Spirit grade. Hehe, this way, we can still make money off Zhao Diman!" Tang Rao said with a grin.

"Xiao Hei, you are amazing!" Natasha grabbed Tang Rao, "Hiring you was the smartest thing I've done in my life."

"I'm pleased to be of service to my boss," Tang Rao said with a smile, giving a gentleman's bow.

In fact, Tang Rao felt a bit melancholic. Maybe when you find out who I am, you wouldn't say that. By then, you might say: Meeting you was the biggest mistake of my life...

"By the way, Xiao Hei, Tang Raoming has asked me out for dinner at Jiuxian Building tomorrow. Why don't you come with me?" Natasha said.

Of course, Tang Rao couldn't agree, dammit, if I did, who would you be meeting with?

"Boss, let's not, I need to focus on making the Super Technology Weapons. Plus, he's asked to meet you, right? It wouldn't be appropriate for me to come along. Are you afraid that Tang Rao might do something to you?" Tang Rao asked.

"That's the point. When I interacted with him in Illusion City, I felt he could be up to no good," Natasha nodded seriously.

Tang Rao: "…"

Damn, it's just a dinner invite. What's the big deal about saying you're pretty?

Li Shengxuan kept coughing, it seemed like she was about to lose it, on the verge of cracking up.

"Sheng Xuan, go take some medicine if you're unwell!" Tang Rao looked at Li Shengxuan, a picture of aggrieved innocence.

"Okay, I'm going to take medicine now." Li Shengxuan immediately ran back to her room, followed by the sound of her raucous laughter, simply demonic.

"Uh, Xiao Hei, what's with Sheng Xuan?" Natasha watched puzzled, what's going on here?

"Just ignore her, she's having a bout of craziness," Tang Rao said, pouting.

...

The next evening, Tang Rao abandoned Li Shengxuan.

Obviously, how could he bring Li Shengxuan to meet Natasha? That'd blow his cover in a second.

Tang Rao arrived early, reserved a private room, and after instructing the waiter, he entered to wait.

Natasha didn't make him wait too long; about half an hour later, she was led in by the waiter.

"Mr. Tang Rao, hello." Natasha obviously recognized Tang Rao. In the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, there were hardly any who did not know him.

His face had long since become legendary.

"Oh, dear President Four, dear Natasha! I was not wrong, you truly are a beautiful woman. Seeing you, I feel like spring has come, marking the most wonderful moment of my life," Tang Rao said, rising and speaking with exaggeration.

Natasha: "…"

This Tang Rao, what kind of talk is that? Calling me 'dear' on our first meeting, don't you have any shame?

"Waiter, you can serve the dishes now," Tang Rao said.

"Alright, coming right up!" the waiter immediately nodded, his eyes filled with respect and admiration.

That was Tang Rao, the legendary Tang Rao! My god, I can't believe I've actually met a legend, my idol.

Tang Rao looked at Natasha, and Natasha also looked at Tang Rao. Tang Rao's eyes carried appreciation, while Natasha's were laced with annoyance.

"Mr. Tang Rao, did you want to see me for something? If not, I won't have dinner. The Soul Capture Pavilion could attack at any moment, and I need to be ready all the time, sorry," said Natasha as she prepared to get up.

"Natasha, what's the hurry? It's just a dinner; you don't have to be so tense. I won't do anything to you... Besides, you are a Half-step Great Perfection Cultivator; I am not even your match," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Natasha gave Tang Rao a glance, thinking that everyone in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains knew of his slyness. "You think I can't see through your strength, Tang Rao? Even if you can't beat me, what if you hire other experts?

I refuse to believe that with all your development, you haven't recruited even one Half-step Great Perfection Cultivator.

"Sorry, Mr. Tang Rao, I do have matters to attend to," said Natasha, already standing up.

"Natasha, aren't you interested in obtaining information on Super Technology Weapons of combining level?" Tang Rao asked with a smile.

Natasha was momentarily stunned, looked deeply at Tang Rao twice, then shook her head: "Sorry, I am not interested."

Tang Rao would definitely not give the data of combining level Super Technology Weapons to her easily—Natasha knew very well that to receive, she must first give something.

She couldn't afford to pay millions of billions, so Tang Rao must be seeking other things from her.

She wouldn't agree, so even though she wanted it in her heart, she must refuse.

"If you walk out that door, I guarantee that the creature named Xiao Hei you keep in your courtyard will disappear from this world forever," Tang Rao remarked lightly, staring coldly at Natasha.

Natasha's face changed color instantly.

Seeing Natasha's face turn ugly, Tang Rao felt quite a sense of achievement in his heart; unexpectedly, he did hold some significant place in Natasha's mind.

"Tang Rao, what exactly do you want?" Natasha glared at Tang Rao, her eyes razor-sharp.

"I want you," Tang Rao tapped on the table, a smile lifting the corners of his mouth.

Hearing Tang Rao's words, Natasha's gaze suddenly turned fierce; she had been neutral towards him at first, but now, he was truly detestable.

"Don't get me wrong, I just need a loyal minion. You are one of the four presidents of the Giant Merchant Star. I think I would be very pleased if you could work for me. At the same time, it could make you a lot of money," Tang Rao explained with a smile.

Natasha paused, well, she had thought that...

"Impossible..." Still, Natasha shook her head, unable to betray the Giant Merchant Star.

"Why? I believe that the Giant Merchant Star cannot bring you more benefits than I can. I've always thought that benefits are the foundation of everything. As long as there is money to be made, why must you choose the Giant Merchant Star? You're just working for the Giant Merchant Star, it's just a matter of changing jobs and changing bosses," Tang Rao said.

Natasha looked at Tang Rao; honestly, his argument was quite persuasive.

"The President has shown me kindness, I'm sorry," Natasha shook her head.

"Fine, since you refuse, then I'll take action," Tang Rao shrugged and said.

"What?!"

"Snap!" Tang Rao snapped his fingers, "In ten seconds, your courtyard will be reduced to ashes. As for the people in the courtyard, well... I suppose they will also go 'boom' and nothing will be found," Tang Rao grinned, his gaze cold and ferocious.
