Chapter 374 That Insidious Boss

"Feeling better?" Yun came into Qiu Yue's room to check on her condition now that Another Jin held the fort for her at the storefront. Many of the customers were sulking that Jin was back since Yun was a matured beauty to behold.

Another Jin warned them not to have any funny ideas, her 'husband' was one that should not be trifled with. One of the customers even teased Another Jin whether she was attached to him and he threw a 'lucky panda paw' (one of the possible items to redeem. Naturally not made from real pandas) at the customer, making them all laugh when the customer got a paw mark all over his face.

"Nope. I wish. Still feeling very bad and sore. The System could have warned me before hand instead of telling me after I applied the attribute boost." Qiu Yue answered even though she had difficulty talking as it meant inhaling and exhaling more rapidly, causing her muscles to contract and expand more which worsened the pain.

It was to a point she felt eating was such a chore that she rather starve. Milk had to cast a low level modified paralysation spell so her nerves would be numb, allowing her to chew and drink food normally. By using her broken soul, Yun also learnt that spell temporarily from the System and took over Milk's job who was supposed to manage the Recovery Instance later in the morning. (Currently still sleeping soundly from all the drinks Pepper forced into her after attending to Qiu Yue with a major headache.)

"Here, try to get up. The food was made by Lynn with much love. Oh and if you need a hangover concoction, just hook her up via the System Channel. I found it very sweet to drink and made my head clear even though I did not need it. " Yun said as she took a letter out her storage ring and placed it on the tray.

"She also asked me to hand you this envelope. It's from her too." Yun said as she cast the low level paralysation spell slightly below her neck area before assisting her to get up in an upright position. "You know, you could just order medicine from the System, morphine and stuff would probably solve your aching problems," Yun suggested as she pushed a bed tray to her side and sat beside her to aid her with the feeding. Qiu Yue shook her head and reminded Yun that she still had alcohol content in her body, taking those medications might cause even more side effects.

"And I can roughly guess the contents. You can leave it closed, I will open it up when I am much better." Qiu Yue replied with many regrets as she opened her mouth slowly due to the pain she had despite the paralysation spell. Yun inserted a scoop of congee into her mouth and Qiu Yue slowly chewed it. "There's actually a faint fragrance of cinnamon in the porridge and it tasted good too. At this rate, I am probably gonna owe her a lot more for providing me food."

"That is your own problem to settle. But at the very least you also now know what are the consequences of straining yourself to the limit. Better to experiment with it now during peacetime instead of using it in a dire situation and become more of a burden to Jin. If I am not wrong, the cultivation manual which Jin gave you previously should have something to do with this particular boost too. You can give it a look again while you are resting. With the Sub System, you should be able to read it now without a problem." Yun replied as she blew the spoon filled with hot congee to cool it down.

"Now that you mention it. I remember something about boosting up attributes and it kind of make sense thinking back. You are right, I should go take a look when I have the chance...but for now, just let me slack." Qiu Yue answered lazily as she swallowed the mouthful of congee.

"And remember to call your parents. They have been leaving you missed calls and messages for the past hour or so. Sorry that I peeked into it a little on the lock screen. They seemed worried that you skipped work or something." Yun apologised but spoke with concern even though her role as the mother was not exactly fulfilled for Jin.

"Ah yea...I still have to deal with my shitty boss...Can I get Jin to handle him? … Or perhaps Kraft?" Qiu Yue looked up and saw the date on the digital clock. It would be roughly another day or two before her Boss should fly back according to the flight plans arranged by the company. "I think he is still there. Otherwise, he would have probably bothered my parents by now."

"You are correct. He is still there." Kraft appeared out of nowhere as usual. "And judging from his credit card bill transactions, he has been quite busy ...entertaining himself. I wonder what his wife might say if she would find out."

"Heh, I doubt his wife is that daring because... he is the sole breadwinner and she is not exactly the most vocal kind of person. Even if she knew, she'd probably try to tolerate it. Actually, I kinda pity her a little for choosing that no good bastard." Qiu Yue commented as Yun stuffed another scoop into her mouth.

"Then how about we provide her with some happiness so she does not need to stay miserable for any longer. What shall it be? Instant Death? Or Scandal?" Kraft sat at the end of her bed as he swiped out an augmented reality screen in front of him to check a few things on her boss, Shao Wai.

"From what I see, he has at the very least multiple trust accounts and insurances to his wife's name. I presume he is also doing this to avoid tax and judging from the records, it should be more than enough to get his housewife to live off the insurance money until she reaches 60. With a bit of investment and without an over the top luxurious lifestyle, she could have enough for the rest of her life. That is, of course, IF he dies. Scandal, on the other hand...I truly wonder if she is going to play the role of a 'supporting wife' and be willing to 'overlook her husband's unfortunate lapse in judgement' or have enough guts to break up and demand alimony from him." Kraft said as his eyes were stuck to the screen.

"Though I can safely say, death will be much better. His 'good image' will live on, she will be pitied to lose such a 'loving and caring husband' and the wife can move on with a large sum of money in her hands." Kraft concluded which made Yun frown at him.

"Are you doing this behind Jin's back? Do you have his approval?" Yun asked as she shoved another scoop of porridge into Qiu Yue's mouth before she could make a sound.

"Technically speaking, we bellators serve both Sub System Users and System Users. It is not wrong to fulfil Qiu Yue's wishes if she has any. That's all I am saying." Kraft shrugged his shoulders and gave a pretentious smile at Yun.

"You, on the other hand, are basically Jin's personal guardian and not the Sub System Users so I can understand why you would be concerned about his permission," Kraft remarked. "But rest assured, it can be done quietly and none of it will backfire at Jin at all, if you are that concerned."

"Yeah, I might be serving Jin but I have my own agendas too." Qiu Yue chimed in after she chewed her food.

"That does not mean...nevermind. But if it backfires, I am holding Qiu Yue responsible. If the System can abandon Ming, stripping a Sub Users of their powers will definitely not be a problem." Yun warned Qiu Yue indirectly as she spoke to Kraft about the matter.

"Guess, that means that we will rid the world of a scumbag soon. Alright, Yun off you go, even I can handle feeding. I am sure your customers will be happy seeing you instead of our master greeting me. Let me discuss the details with her." Kraft suggested as he opened the augmented virtual screen in front of Qiu Yue and took over the feeding from Yun.

When a sly little red panda and a devious old fox come together, the amount of vile, wicked ideas was too many to count from. They began by tracing by his movements and if there was any sort of routine he took despite the nature of his trip.

Qiu Yue also chipped in and told Kraft about the past experiences she had with him so that he might have a better understanding of Shao Wai. Jin might have tickled his bones with the extensive military operation, but this particular escapade finally scratched a few itches he had for some time.

Within the next few minutes, more information about Shao Wai popped up at the tip of Kraft's finger, all thanks to his hacking ability. They found out that he was going to a private yacht party to vent some steam after he clinched the final deal with his contractors. (Supposedly, Qiu Yue's job.)

"So you wish to finish him off before he reaches the party, during the party or after the party?" Kraft gave options for Qiu Yue to choose and she decided the first one.

"Let's give him the loving, hardworking husband image. A scandal and murder do not bore well for the wife." Qiu Yue chose without any hesitation.

"An accident then." Kraft began to run a few computations on the augmented reality screen and while waiting, he asked Qiu Yue one last time.

"Are you sure? You will be taking a life away."

"I just killed several gangsters without prejudice, what's another and one who is a greedy, hypocritical pervert? Just do it." Qiu Yue replied with affirmation.

"Very well, I will spare you the details, but it would be done soon. He would no longer bother you or his wife. Now eat your congee." Kraft asked one of his fox Evon to enter the room. Its presence alone made Qiu Yue went into a daze as she chewed food. She no longer felt any pain as compared to the low level paralysation spell.

Kraft surprisingly continued to feed Qiu Yue until the bowl was squeaky clean. "Oh and eh, let's just say someone made an anonymous donation to the colleague, Yi San, you spoke of to Jin. She should not have any problems supporting her child for the next few years." He then cleared up the place and let Qiu Yue rest properly.
