297 Evil Rises in the Air (1/2)
A voice transmission ring typically didn't have any sound notifications enabled as it was activated by the Spirit Qi in one's body. Though, if the need arose, it was equipped with vibration as well as sound notification capabilities.
Wang Baole had been playing around with those functionalities earlier, to allow the voice transmission ring to give sound notifications. The notification from the voice transmission ring resounded in the air now. Wang Baole coughed, and he waited for a few moments before connecting to the transmission. His eyes didn't leave Li Wuchen all the while.
As soon as the transmission connected, a voice that sounded similar to that of the man with the Xu family name rang out from the voice transmission ring…
”Is this Mister Wang? A good day to you! I'm the person in charge of running the Battle-axe Hotel under your name. My name is Xu Zhenjing, but you can simply call me Little Xu…”
As the voice from the voice transmission ring traveled, Xu Zhenjing, who had been sitting at one side of the room speaking into his voice transmission ring, heard his own voice from Wang Baole's voice transmission ring and froze. He lifted his head and stared confusedly at Wang Baole, who was sitting a short distance away from them on the couch.
He wasn't the only one who was stunned. Li Wuchen's eyes almost popped out of his head. He looked as if he was in a daze.
Wang Baole was quietly pleased with the pair's expressions. He coughed then lowered his head, speaking into the voice transmission ring.
”Yes, it's me, Little Xu. I'm quite busy here. What do you want?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Xu Zhenjing sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked at the voice transmission ring and then at Wang Baole. He finally came to his senses after a long while and hurried over with the intention of extending a greeting, but the other party seemed to be fixated on his voice transmission ring…
He tried to recall if he had offended the other earlier, then realized he had focused on attending to Li Wuchen and given his new boss the cold shoulder. He shuddered inwardly. He could cry.
Why didn't the boss give a heads up before he came…
Fraught with uncertainty, he hesitated before continuing to speak politely into the voice transmission ring. He communicated Li Wuchen's request hastily, then raised his head and stared nervously at Wang Baole.
Li Wuchen remained lost. He seemed to be caught in disbelief at the scene unfolding before him. It was beyond his wildest imagination, and he found it difficult to accept the reality so readily. He could only stare, dazedly, as Wang Baole and the person with the last name Xu carried out their conversation over their voice transmission rings despite sitting only a few yards away from one another.
Wang Baole was feeling extremely pleased with himself. He stared at the confused Li Wuchen then replied into his voice transmission ring coolly.
”Of course not. The battle-axe represents the hotel's image. How can we just change it?
”I want you to quickly build another three identical battle-axe sculptures. I want them all lined in front of the hotel entrance, and the axes have to face the Fire Spirit Academy!”
As soon as Wang Baole said that, Xu Zhenjing sucked in a breath of cold air. He dared not say a single word and hurriedly and very loudly agreed to do as Wang Baole ordered. Li Wuchen, who was sitting beside Xu Zhenjing, exploded. The veins on his forehead pulsated furiously, and he could hear a loud roar in his head. There was red in his eyes as he yelled furiously.
”Wang Baole, how dare you!”
What Wang Baole was doing was simply too much. A single battle-axe was enough to axe the vice dean, much less four axes. Li Wuchen was furious. He could sense the gathering of dark storm clouds above his head, and a strong impending sense of danger loomed, making his whole body shudder.
Wang Baole remained unfazed as Li Wuchen yelled at him, continuing to speak casually into his voice transmission ring.
”Did I hear someone at your end yelling my name? Let's not stop at three axes then, make it ten instead! Every time someone over at your end yells my name, add another ten axes!”
”Oh, if the vice dean of the Fire Spirit Academy isn't happy with my decision, ask him to come look for me. I'm sure we can work things out as long as the price is right. Alright, I still have other matters to attend to, so that's all for now.” Wang Baole ended the transmission. He stood up from the couch and stretched his limbs before looking around with a pleased look on his face.
This hotel's not bad at all.He sighed, pleased. Then, with great satisfaction, and under the scorching glare of Li Wuchen, he turned and headed towards the hotel entrance.
A thought suddenly hit Xu Zhenjing. He ignored Li Wuchen and rushed over to Wang Baole. As if trying to salvage the situation, he nodded and bowed furiously as he saw Wang Baole off.
