Chapter 374: Illusion Realm (Mo Jiao) Part 11
The butler is a very capable butler.
He soon brought back the Mo Heihua that had fled in sadness.
Along with it came Carrot Caicai, who had chased after Mo Heihua when it left.
"President, the Young Master was crying all the way while chasing behind Mo Heihua." The butler set the dirty, rolling Carrot Caicai in front of Xiao Jinsheng.
The butler sighed, looked at Mo Jiao, whose face still bore a cold expression, then at Carrot Caicai, who was still crying out loud, and said with a heartache: "The Young Master probably misses his real father."
"Poor Young Master, never met his father since birth."
"The Young Master following Mo Heihua might be some inevitable pull between them." The butler looked at Mo Jiao's very familiar face and sighed.
"If you have nothing to say, keep quiet." Mo Jiao frowned and looked at the butler.
He was about to curse.
But looking at the butler's wrinkled face, he felt that cursing was like abusing the elderly.
Caicai, furious, pointed at the butler and cried out even more loudly: 'Wah wah wah'.
Xiao Jinsheng, holding his head in frustration, reminded Caicai: "Can't understand you."
No choice, Caicai directly turned to the Star System Map for help.
Caicai: Stupid butler, was I chasing a dead snake to find my dad?
Caicai: I was chasing a dead snake to scold it!
Caicai: Stupid Illusion System, if it hadn't muted me, would I have been misunderstood?
The more Caicai thought about it, the more aggrieved it felt, so much so that it was about to cry again.
It was scolding Mo Jiao, but being muted, it couldn't curse aloud and ended up being scorned by Mo Jiao's sarcastic tone without being able to retort.
This made Caicai so angry that it cried.
Yet the butler, who caught up to grab it, thought it cried from being moved by seeing its father.
Caicai was so angry that it almost spat blood.
At that moment, its hatred for Mo Jiao was less than its hatred for the butler.
Carrot Caicai jumped to the ground and rushed back to its room.
Soon it dragged out a row of black cards and directly threw them at Mo Jiao's feet.
Muted, Caicai could only continue to gesture.
"What are you saying? I don't understand rabbit cries." Mo Jiao's expression was impatient.
"The Young Master is calling you dad." The butler explained from the side: "The Young Master said seeing you feels like seeing his real dad."
Hearing the butler's translation, Caicai's eyes widened in shock.
It grabbed a paper napkin from the table, crumpled it, and threw it at the butler's face.
The butler easily caught the paper ball with a benevolent smile: "The Young Master is being naughty again."
Unable to deal with the butler, Caicai crumpled another napkin and threw it at Mo Jiao's face.
The Star System Map assisted with interpretation directly.
Caicai: @Mo Jiao, here's 30 million for you. Gather 100 million quickly and leave this hellhole!
"The Young Master wants to give all his New Year money to you, hoping you'll stay with this family." The butler continued to explain to Mo Jiao before Mo Jiao could react, observing Caicai's actions.
Mo Jiao coldly paused his motion of kicking the black cards away and used the black mist to retrieve them into his hand.
He chuckled at Caicai: "Even a little rabbit knows how to show filial piety? Then I might as well be your dad."
Caicai was so angry it wanted to eat snake stew.
Xiao Jinsheng seized the opportunity, memories flashing in his eyes as they fell on Mo Jiao: "Stay, name your price."
"Make me a stand-in?" Mo Jiao sneered coldly.
He took a long stride to sit across from Xiao Jinsheng.
Noticing the high glass and red wine on the table.
Mo Jiao reached out, uncorked a bottle, and poured himself some.
The reddish-brown liquid dribbled into the glass, beginning to bubble up.
Mo Jiao watched the bubbles in silence.
The considerate butler approached to inquire: "Need help switching that to red wine? It's cola."
"I want cola." Mo Jiao replied stubbornly, swirling the cola in his glass, fixing a triumphant gaze on Xiao Jinsheng: "The Xiao family has deep pockets. If you want me as a stand-in, then one billion."
"As long as Illusion Points are in place, whatever type Xiao desires, I can fulfill it."
"Okay! I'll give you one billion." Xiao Jinsheng waved his hand: "Butler, make the transfer."
"President, our current liquid Illusion Points don't amount to a billion." The butler reminded.
Xiao Jinsheng frowned: "Didn't you say before that I had 900 billion in liquid Illusion Points?"
"All used to fill the industries occupied by the Cannibal Flower." The butler explained: "Now, your liquid Illusion Points, only fifty million remain."
Xiao Jinsheng, the domineering CEO, fell silent.
Her fifty million, even combined with Caicai's thirty million, still fell short.
Mo Jiao's expression was darker than Xiao Jinsheng's.
"I need one billion. No matter what price, it must be gathered in a short time." Xiao Jinsheng demanded sternly.
"President, the soonest would be by tomorrow afternoon." The butler reviewed the information and responded.
"Fine, by tomorrow afternoon." Xiao Jinsheng promptly agreed, fearing the final billion might just sprout wings and fly away.
She looked at the proud Mo Jiao sitting opposite her: "Tomorrow afternoon, the butler will bring the billion you asked for."
"The contract takes effect; I hope you'll play your role well." Xiao Jinsheng warned coldly.
"Xiao President doesn't believe in my abilities?" Mo Jiao's purple gaze cast an eerie light on her: "Didn't you already sample my abilities last night, Xiao President?"
"Or do you want to try again now?" Mo Jiao inquired with a light smile.
Xiao Jinsheng once again controlled the CEO's fan-shaped pie chart.
She stood up and approached Mo Jiao, grabbing the tie knot position with a dangerous down gaze: "True, after all, a billion-dollar big business. It's only right to inspect the goods."
Saying this, Xiao Jinsheng tugged Mo Jiao and quickly walked towards her bedroom.
As soon as the bedroom door shut, she used the Star System Map to drive out the pursuing Illusion System, also blocking it in the process.
"Nine hundred billion gone just like that!" Xiao Jinsheng raged: "It must be the Illusion System. It doesn't want us to clear this level so easily, manipulating things!"
"Calm down." Mo Jiao soothingly patted her back: "I've learned during this time, the Illusion System is intelligence born from a masterless illusion, subsisting on illusions."
"As long as the Illusion Superpower exceeds the Illusion System, without saving up a billion, we can also leave."
"Gathering a billion is easy; the Illusion System continuously messes with us." Xiao Jinsheng remained agitated.
Seeing Xiao Jinsheng's puffed-up angry appearance, Mo Jiao curled his lips, turned around, and picked up the cotton doll belonging to Xiao Jinsheng.
He brought it to Xiao Jinsheng's face and pointed to the doll's upward-curved mouth corners: "With my superpower improved by One Star, I can control the Illusion System."
"So why don't you smile? How about it?"
"Look at the doll, smiling so happily."
"You..." Xiao Jinsheng focused on Mo Jiao's hand on the doll's smile, feeling her lips being stroked.
Xiao Jinsheng hesitantly asked: "Did you hug this doll when you woke up today?"
"Why? Your doll, I can't hug?" Mo Jiao, full of rebellion, enjoyed going against Xiao Jinsheng and simply hugged the doll tighter.
A warm embrace enveloped Xiao Jinsheng entirely out of nowhere.
She reached to snatch back the doll: "Of course not, this is my image, so it's my doll."
"If you like, make one in your own image."
"Give me back the doll!"
"No." Mo Jiao, holding the doll, evaded Xiao Jinsheng's reaching hand.
