After Pampering Her 5 Beast Husbands, the Villainess Struck It Rich
Chapter 196: Your Time Has ComeHu Yan and Yan Yichen were forced to listen to the obscene sounds for quite some time.
After a while, the commotion in the room gradually died down.
A moment later, a female voice spoke up. "How are the preparations for the matter my father mentioned?"
Hades said reassuringly, "Soon. Just tell him to wait patiently."
The female urged him on, "Well, you’d better hurry up."
Hades replied, "Don’t worry. I want this done faster than anyone."
The female asked worriedly, "I heard from my father that Brutus has been trying to stop this from moving forward. Is there a chance it will fail because of him?"
Hearing her, Hades’s tone sharpened, and he said viciously, "If he doesn’t agree... In this matter, he’ll agree whether he likes it or not!"
Receiving Hades’s definitive answer, the female seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She then asked, "By the way, I heard from my father that you’ve already finished taking control of those powerful people. Does that mean you’ll soon be the one and only leader of the Black Domain?"
Hades said coldly, "Hmph. Soon. If Brutus continues to be so reckless, then he can’t blame me for forgetting our years of camaraderie."
A trace of excitement could be heard in the female’s voice. "That’s wonderful! The day you succeed will be the day we become mates! I can’t wait for that day to arrive!"
Then, she began to wheedle him. "Hades, you’ll be my only Beast Husband, so you have to hurry up and become the number one Beastman in the Black Domain. My—Tina’s—Beast Husband must be the strongest!"
His response was a passionate embrace and his eager demands.
The sounds in the room once again rose and fell in waves, making Yan Yichen’s ears and cheeks turn red.
Hu Yan glanced at the clearly uncomfortable Yan Yichen and said a single word, "Withdraw."
Yan Yichen immediately followed.
When the group returned home, Bai Zhi was still waiting anxiously in her room, not having rested at all.
Lang Qiu and Sang Mo had actually returned first; Hu Yan and the others only got back a short while later.
Bai Zhi asked, "How did it go?"
Lang Qiu recounted what they had heard and done. Hu Yan and Yan Yichen, on the other hand, hadn’t learned anything especially important, but it was clear the two men weren’t on good terms.
Lang Qiu frowned. "However, Brutus knows we’re in the Black Domain."
Hu Yan said calmly, "We never intended to hide our presence in the first place. I’ve already arranged for men to wait near the Black Domain for my instructions. If anything happens, they’ll come provide support at a moment’s notice."
Just then, Yue Junxiao returned, catching the last sentence. His breathing was still ragged, but that didn’t stop him from asking in surprise, "When did that happen? Why wasn’t I told?"
He immediately poured himself a glass of water and chugged it down. Only then did he begin his report. "I made a trip to the place Wade mentioned. There really are two people living there. Judging by their accents, they’re not from our star system. They babbled on for ages, but I couldn’t understand a word they were saying."
He then launched into a tirade. "You guys have no idea how far that place was! He just mumbled a few words, and I nearly ran my legs off! It was basically a mad dash across the entire Black Domain! From east to west!"
Bai Zhi poured him another glass of water and handed it to him. "To the able, more labor. You’ve worked hard."
Yue Junxiao was thoroughly pleased, his face lifting in a proud expression. If he had a tail, it would have been sticking straight up and wagging nonstop.
He couldn’t bring himself to chug this one down like an ox. Instead, he took small, delicate sips before saying sweetly, "Water poured by my lady is just sweeter~ I want more."
Sang Mo, unable to stand his antics, let out a cold snort.
The snort was actually very faint, but Yue Junxiao’s sharp ears still caught it. He immediately whipped his head around to glare. "Sang Mo, you’re just jealous that our lady favors me and not you! After all, I have the fluff she loves most, and you don’t!"
Sang Mo looked at his arrogant display, finding it utterly repulsive. He sneered, "Jealous of you? Why would I be jealous of you?"
Hearing them bring up the "fluffy incident" again, Bai Zhi moved with lightning speed, grabbing several cups, pouring one for each of them, and handing them out. "Here’s one for you, and one for you! Everyone gets one, everyone gets one."
Hu Yan’s lips curved into an enigmatic smile. "Our lady is being so fair, holding the bowl perfectly level. Even we get a cup."
The sigh of relief Bai Zhi had just let out was instantly caught in her throat at Hu Yan’s words.
Just as she was wracking her brain for a reply, Hu Yan changed the subject, as if he had just been making a casual remark.
Hu Yan asked, "Sang Mo, what are your plans?"
Hearing this, Sang Mo replied nonchalantly, "’Plans? Does something like this even require a plan? Brutus is probably already dead. And if not, he will be soon. As for Hades, when he hears the news tomorrow, he’ll practically scare himself to death. No need to rush; he’ll come to us personally.’"
He said lazily, "All right, it’s getting late. I’m going to bed."
Then he opened the door to one of the rooms and went straight inside.
He left the others staring at each other, dumbfounded.
Hu Yan said, "The main actor in this drama has left. Let’s all go to bed."
Yue Junxiao gave them a blank look. ’That’s it?’
’Then what was the point of me running across half the Black Domain tonight?’
At that moment, Hu Yan reached out, wrapped an arm around Bai Zhi, and led her back to the master bedroom, completely ignoring the others.
The day before yesterday was Saturday. Although yesterday, Sunday, was wasted on the road, today, Monday, could be considered a moderately pleasant day.
Yue Junxiao hadn’t expected that the moment he looked away, Hu Yan would whisk Bai Zhi off. Just as he was about to give chase, he was pulled back by Lang Qiu.
Yue Junxiao reached a hand toward Bai Zhi’s retreating back. "My lady..."
Bai Zhi started to turn her head, but Hu Yan placed a large hand on top of it, successfully preventing her from looking back.
Meanwhile, things with Brutus were playing out exactly as Sang Mo had anticipated. After the little trick Sang Mo had pulled before leaving, Brutus was now on the floor, his eyes bloodshot and his face twisted in a grimace. He struggled desperately to get up, to open the door, to crawl out of the room, but he couldn’t even manage such a simple series of actions.
In the throes of death, he must have heard something, because the expression on his face shifted from shock, to terror, pain, and struggle, before finally crumbling into despair.
As time trickled by, his life force steadily drained away.
Unfortunately, it was the dead of night. His room was empty, and no one would be coming at this hour. Consequently, he didn’t last long before he drew his final breath.
However, had anyone else been in the room, they would have heard a voice repeating on a loop, "Brutus, your time has come."
Sang Mo had even specifically ordered a robot to record the entire process of Brutus’s death. He also set it to broadcast the recording across the entire Black Domain at the first light of dawn.
He would let everyone know that he, Sang Mo, was back.
