A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 22: The First Council and RAGING HEART.

You Xi Wang took a bath and only a glass of juice for breakfast. He wore an olive-colored button-down shirt tucked in his golden-brown trousers; he wore a black leather belt on his waist matching his shoes and wrist band. He looked like a man heading to work, his charm and charisma allowed Emily to ogle at him and while he was checking himself in the mirror Emily sneakily clicked a picture of him. He turned around and looked at her with a dazzling smile and shamelessly said: "Emily, aren't you baffled by having such a godly boyfriend?"

His words made Emily to be shocked for a second and then she broke out in a laughing spell while she pinched his cheeks and said: "hahaha Young master.... You are so cute sometimes."

You Xi Wang glared at her pouting his lips and a wicked glint flashed in his eyes, he reached his arms out and wrapped her waist with them and pulled her into an embrace, he looked straight in her eyes and slowly moved his face closer to hers. Emily pouted her lips in anticipation of his kiss, but just as she could feel his breath colliding with hers and their lips were only a millimeter away You Xi Wang stopped his advance and said in a slow voice while on of his hand shifted to Emily's bountiful bottom. "Someone said I am cute and I am not pleased with it so now I am going to punish that someone by not kissing her." he gave her a strong slap on her bottom "Splat" and left the room with a swaggering step.

Emily winced in pain and rubbed her butt, feeling wronged. She looked at the holographic picture of You Xiwang and said with pouted lips: "Bully.."

....

You Xi Wang entered the main hall looking all dapper, he stepped towards the throne and looked at You Zhichi who was standing beside the throne, in front of a chair designated for her. He smiled at her and turned around to look at all the elders and relatives present in the hall. He nodded and sat down on the throne.

Everybody in the hall yelled together: "Glory to You Family, Hail the Master."

This was repeated thrice. You Xi Wang stood up and said with a half bow: "I thank you all for your blessings, but I hope that in the future you all call me Young master as I still have a lot to learn and I need your help to bring You family to new heights."

This small speech invited enthusiastic applause. The young members of the family left the hall as they were only here to greet and bless the master, but the older ones started taking their seats behind the nine elders. You Xi Wang looked around and when he saw everyone settled down the spoke in a firm and resolute voice: "Fifth grandpa, I have asked Dimitri Ivanovich to supply us with Lithical iron, please coordinate with Granny Xin and get this deal settled. The ethical Iron can be molded by channelling spiritual, electrical and soul energies through it. This method should be kept secret, apply for patents as soon as Tianlong technologies, mold the first motherboard out of the material, and get the people taking part in this project take a heavenly oath before they get to know the details."

He explained the plan and earned the elder's approval. He looked at his grandpa who sat there with a content smile and said with a poker face: "Everyone now that this is done, I ask you guys, starting today you choose what is your interest and follow the elders who a proficient in that aspect regardless it is business, politics, intelligence gathering, music, medical skills. Start learning from them and prepare to spread You family network in other sectors, but always be in touch with the council officials, do not, I repeat hide nothing which is a family secret from them lest it raises councils suspicions, we are not strong enough to face them yet. Do you all understand what I am saying?"

Everyone liked this idea of expansion and also praised You Xi Wang for being cautious of the council.

You Xi Wang gave a nod while keeping a smiling face and asked them to leave him with the elders alone. The people complied with smiles on their faces. Chen Qianbei who was also present as a guest was also about to leave when she heard you Xiwang call out to her: "Aunt, you stay. What I am about to say is important to you." while he turned to You Zhichi and said with a smile Chichi how about we visit mom and dad after this?"

You Zhichi smiled and nodded as her brother asked: "Big sis, if you don't mind, I need to talk with the elders alone, but if you want to stay you can. It's just that I do not want you to be bothered. You already have Tian long technologies to handle."

You Zhichi waved her hand and said: "I know, do not bother with explaining, I trust you will tell me when you think you should tell me."

He gave her sister a gratified look as she left the hall. He then turned to face all the elders and his aura turned heavy, which all the elders rather uneasy. He then waved towards the door and his soul energy gushed out causing the door of the main hall to close. He closed his eyes for a bit and exhaled heavily and said: "Grandpa, I know that you guys are trying to hide something from me and Chichi and I also feel that it is related to my parent's death in that so-called car accident."

He only took a pause and said while he started walking back and forth in front of them: "Luan motors, luxury car model TitanX30, heavily armored and is proven to come out unscathed after facing a rail gun beam. If a grade six beast attack, it won't affect the car. Human cultivators only above level 7 primal soul realm, which means stronger than aunt can affect the car. So unless it was a rail gun attack, a beast tide of grade seven beasts or an expert of the primal soul realm."

His eyes turned cold and wind inside the hall started howling as he continued: "If not these than there are only two possibilities. First, somebody tinkered with the car, second somebody attacked with an intent to kill. In both the cases my parents were murdered by someone and it was for something bigger than business rivalry. Now who can share their insights with me as I want to make the culprit beg me for death, I want his soul to shiver if he ever thinks about harming You family even after he reincarnates. I will erase his family regardless of women, children or dogs while I make him watch them die. ANSWER ME WHY DID YOU HIDE THIS FROM ME AND WHO IS THE ONE WHO TOOK MY PARENTS AWAY FROM ME."
