Chapter 795 - Award for best actor (1/2)

With the setting sun came a sky ablaze with fire. It brought orange-gold hues that stretches from the vast horizon and over Imperial. The view was so irresistible, anyone who saw it would stop in the tracks to take a look.

And that is precisely what all the men in Yue Ling and Lu Tian's home's back courtyard did.

Each person stops what they were doing and turn their head in the direction of the sunset. No one utters a word, allowing the passing breeze to brush against their sweaty bodies and made them relax.

It was as if they had envisioned a world that knew only peace. A world that made them forget where they were, and any problems they were secretly holding was carried away by the wind.

”Man, that's a sight to see. Sadly, good things don't last for long.”

Of course, this moment of peace did not last long when one decided to break it.

Multiple heads turned to look at the person. The peacefulness that had only come to them for a few seconds was quickly replaced with a menacing atmosphere.

Liu Shan stares at the sunset for a brief second, then turns his head to the left. He stares at the person standing next to him with a glare that contained daggers yet to unleash.

”Really? You couldn't just let us enjoy this moment for at least one minute?”

Like everyone else here, he was also enjoying the sunset. It wasn't every day that one can catch an evening that made them forget about anything in life.

Yet, this man dared to ruin such a perfect moment.

Lin Hui stood on the right side of Liu Shan. He leans forward and glares at the man who had spoken. His expression was just as grave as everyone else's as he fumed at the person.

”Yea, Xu Long. Why? Why? Why? Hm? Why?”

Everyone had been working their heads off with the renovations for the house. Isn't Xu Long in the same shoes as all of them? If so, why couldn't he let them have one short minute to relax?

Quickly after Lin Hui's words, everyone from Wolf Team storm into action and voice their thoughts about what Xu Long had done.

”Why are you such a buzzkill? Every time we seek peace, you are always the first to open your mouth.”

”One minute. One minute was all we were asking for. Why couldn't you just let us have it?”

”Did you know that I was in Lalaland for only ten seconds before you pulled me out? Why? I could have met my imaginary girlfriend. I don't even know how she looks like.”

Wolf Team circled around the assistant like a group of bullies venting their frustrations and anger. Each step they took forward made the circle smaller and smaller.

Voices full of outrage soon overlap one another, leaving Xu Long at a complete loss. He didn't know how to argue back and just stared at the men wanting to either strangle him to death or squabbling at him.

The more he listened, he slowly moves his shoulders up and his neck shrunk back like a baby turtle afraid of the giant sea monsters.

Their harsh words made his lip trembled, and his eyes turned moist. He lowers his head, and the grass below him was the only place he could look at. He wanted to cry so badly but lacked any tears to shed.

Before he knew it, he was already squatting on the ground with his hands covering his head.

He didn't mean to ruin the peaceful mood. He thought it was only him who noticed the sunset but to think everyone else did too.

However, he had spoken his thoughts aloud. Do they really have to be this harsh on him?

”What's going on here?”

Before the situation could escalate any further, a familiar deep voice sounds from behind the group.

Lu Tian was baffled by the scene in front of him. His dark eyes scanned the people, and he realized that it was only his men that had surrounded Xu Long like elephants who found the courage to not be afraid of a mouse.

Not too far from his team was Liu Shan, Lin Hui, and Alpha Team. However, despite them not involved in the current situation, he could see how intrigued each person was.

Xu Long jumps to his feet and wave both arms in the air as he wails at the top of his lungs.

”Boss! I'm over here!”

As everyone turns their head to looks at Lu Tian, he (Xu Long) uses this opportunity of distraction to squeeze through the men surrounding him.

”Boss, I'm so glad to see you.”

He takes three steps to his boss, and his lower lip trembles like he had met his savor, as did his legs. He turned weak, and he drops to his knees before his hands joined.

”Boss….”

He makes his way on his hands and knees like an injured soldier on a battlefield.

”Help me… they're… all…”

Gradually arriving in front of Lu Tian, his head tilts back to look up at his almighty boss. He clutches his chest like he had been gravely wounded and chokes his words.

”They're all bullying me…”

He struggles to say each word like they were his last, and his eyes rolled back, leaving only white sockets before he plops down onto his stomach.

Lu Tian's eyes were still glued in the direction of Wolf Team. He didn't even look at his assistant crawling to him because he was too dumbfounded. However, that was until the man fainted.
