Chapter 591 (2/2)

A firm expression appeared on Tang Xiu’s face as he decided to make a trip there. After all, to have a Chrono Crystal appear there meant that that place was extraordinary in and of itself.

At this time, his view toward Kuwako, which was originally only a chess piece to him, now changed, as he was truly grateful to her. He did rule her soul, yet the person herself followed him from the heart and even gave such an important treasure to him. This showed that she was very reliable and good, extraordinarily good.

Closing the suitcase, Tang Xiu took out two bottles of medicinal pills from his interspatial ring without being noticed by anyone. Then he said, “The things inside are your rewards. You did a very good job this time, making me very satisfied. This object may just be a crystal stone in the eyes of others, but it’s the best treasure in my eyes. As for you, stay for a few days more in Shanghai! And I’ll assign ten experts to follow and help you later.”

Ten experts?

Kuwako immediately got excited. Though she didn’t know what kind of reward was in those bottles, these ten experts were too important for her. She had witnessed those men and women under Tang Xiu, as each and every one of them possessed very formidable strength many people wouldn’t be able to contend with, including herself.

This time was precisely the moment of intense struggles and fights between the members of her family for power and authority. Despite having been imparted the Soul Ruling Spell from Tang Xiu and being able to control the life and death of others under this spell, yet she still felt that the number of true experts under her was far too few. With the help of those ten experts, she believed she would soon be able to clear up the situation in her House and became the leader of the new generation, as well as the first successor of the family patriarch.

“Thank you, Boss!” Kuwako Yamamoto thanked him—a gratitude that came from her heart.

Tang Xiu shook his head. He wanted to rush to Jingmen Island right away after obtaining the Chrono Crystal. However, Kuwako had just come to Shanghai, after all, and there was also Chen Xiaowan at his side, thus leaving now would be quite inappropriate. After weighing it further, he too felt that he didn’t need to be that anxious, for it was late already. It would be fine for him to wait until tomorrow before rushing to Jingmen Island.

After spending some time fiddling with the Chrono Crystal, Tang Xiu then stuffed it into his interspatial ring secretively. He then shifted his eyes toward the dumbfounded, tongue-tied Chen Xiaowan and said, “Sis Xiaowan, you started acting unnaturally since you saw Kuwako. What’s the matter?”

Chen Xiaowan didn’t even listen to the conversation between Tang Xiu and Kuwako Yamamoto. Her heart was fully submerged in stormy waves, because she had never expected that the subordinate mentioned by Tang Xiu before would actually be Kuwako Yamamoto.

At this time, she was as though just being awakened from a dream after feeling someone touch her arm. She abruptly stood up and asked, “Brother, wha… what is it?”

“Eh, what exactly happened to you, Sis Xiaowan?” Tang Xiu frowned. “You looked like you just saw a ghost when you saw Kuwako. Did you already know her before today, by chance?”

Kuwako looked at Chen Xiaowan’s face for a while, as she shook her head and said, “I never met this young lady before, Boss.”

Secretly, Chen Xiaowan gulped down. After a moment’s hesitation, she spoke in a low voice, “Brother, She… she’s the secret Big Boss of the Brisk Trading Group. I had seen her before at a company celebration.”

Tang Xiu was astounded and so was Kuwako Yamamoto as she suddenly spoke after pondering for a moment, “Ah, you’re talking about the Brisk Trading Group! I do have such a group company under the businesses I control. But I’m usually too busy, so I delegate most of my businesses to my subordinates to manage, and only pay attention to it occasionally.”

Again, Chen Xiaowan’s heartbeat accelerated and was even more shocked hearing the revelation of Kuwako’s identity. After all, the Brisk Trading Group was a large listed company! And yet it was only one of her numerous companies… What a huge wealth she had!

But… there was something wrong! She was Tang Xiu’s subordinate, and that meant…

Chen Xiaowan turned her head to look at Tang Xiu with a disbelieving expression plastered on her face.

The revelation that the company that Chen Xiaowan used to work at was actually one of the companies controlled by Kuwako was also unexpected for Tang Xiu. Recalling as how he accompanied her in her frenzied strolls all day long, and speaking about all the problems she met in that company, Tang Xiu suddenly felt that all that had happened was just an amusing game.

“Well, I’ll introduce you to her then, Kuwako. This is my foster Big Sis, Chen Xiaowan. She treated me very well when I was young—my family was very poor back then, so I always regarded her as my own blood sister. This morning, however, she was still an employee of the Brisk Trading Group, but was treated unjustly and got fired from the company. It’s a very interesting twist, don’t you think?” Explained Tang Xiu with a faint smile.

Whish… Kuwako suddenly got up from the sofa with a tense expression as she said, “Boss, the fault is on this subordinate, please punish me!”

“No, I didn’t have the intention to punish you.” Tang Xiu waved his hand. “I just feel that my Big Sis can’t be treated wrongly for nothing!”

Kuwako thought for a moment and racked her brains before she had an idea. She then said respectfully, “Boss, since your Big Sis Chen has been unjustly treated by the Brisk Trading Group, then I’ll definitely make the person who did that to her pay a heavy price. Please give me an opportunity to invite your Big Sis back to work for this company. Also, I’ll make her the CEO of the Brisk Trading Group in China, and it will later become her private property. What do you think about this?”

“I don’t think it would be necessary to give such a proposal to Sis Xiaowan given her disposition.” Tang Xiu waved his hand. “But making her assume the CEO position of the Brisk Trading Group is kind of a good idea, I think. What do you think, Sis Xiaowan?”
