I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

It took an incredible amount of effort for Jiang Chen to suppress his pounding heartbeat and put all his attention back on the document on the table. By that time, he was surprised to find that the documents were all reviewed without his notice.

Putting the stack of papers aside, he suddenly felt relieved. As if the huge pile of work had finally been completed, it seemed to have made up for some of his unfulfilled promises.

Looking at Xia Shiyu, who was collecting the documents, Jiang Chen suddenly said with a grin.

"Are you free?"

"Hmmm?" Xia Shiyu stopped moving her hand and looked up with confusion.

"If you are free after work, let's go for a drink together. I heard that there is a good bar nearby."

Perhaps she was surprised by why Jiang Chen suddenly made such an invitation, Xia Shiyu took several seconds to think.

When Jiang Chen hesitated whether he should add "If you are too busy, then it is fine", she unexpectedly nodded her head and quietly responded.

"Okay."

...

It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Natasha raised her left hand to check her watch, and then she looked at the dark mansion.

All the lights were off, and it looked like the people inside were all sleeping.

With that in mind, she hesitated for a moment, but in the end she made a decision and reached for the bell.

But before her finger reached the bell, the door opened itself.

When she was puzzled at what happened, she looked in the direction of the mansion and saw an open window. A young girl stood there watching her quietly.

Without the need to think, it was obviously Natasha. Only she would stand at the window every day like a rock, waiting for that guy to come back.

Inside the yard, through the path on the lawn, Natasha walked to the front and opened the door.

Since she often drank there, she was familiar with this place. The front door of his mansion was never locked.

As for why, ask the hundreds of Hummingbird drones lurking in the garden.

No one could approach the mansion without taking the main entrance. Even if someone could, it must be a dead person. Therefore, he didn't need to lock the front door. Within that wall, it was an absolutely safe area.

Pushing open the door, Natasha complained and opened the lamp in the living room.

"It's quite dark in the room, why didn't you have a light on?"

The lights illuminated the dark room and Ayesha's presence was revealed.

Natasha didn't know when she came downstairs and stood by the sofa in the living room, but it seemed as if she was there from the beginning.

"Because I don't need to," Ayesha said emotionlessly.

Night is no different than day to her. This has been especially evident since the awakening of the "Cold Blooded" ability. The genetic code not only strengthened her hiding ability, but also strengthened her perception in the dark. Although she didn't acquire night vision, it was almost equivalent.

She was a natural assassin.

"Are you a cat?" Natasha scorned.

Ayesha did not answer, but responded coldly as always.

"Jiang Chen is not there. You can go back now."

"No rush to get rid of me," Natasha rolled her eyes. "Where is he?"

"Working overtime today," Ayesha said quietly.

"That's rare."

"Yes."

"You didn't come back with him?"

"He told me to come back first."

The topic was interrupted there. Ayesha's conversation ending ability made Natasha feel speechless. Although she has always tried to get on good terms with this girl, it was uncertain if their relationship has already improved.

Silence continued for a moment. Natasha went directly to the subject and put on a serious expression.

"Based on KGB's intelligence, some people are plotting an assassination against him."

Ayesha blinked and did not speak.

Seeing her unresponsiveness, Natasha looked at her in disbelief.

"You don't seem worried?"

"As long as I'm still alive, no one can hurt him," Ayesha said softly.

"Aren't you too confident?" Natasha rolled her eyes again.

Ayesha shook her head.

Not because of self-confidence, but because the security work in place was perfectly safe. Even if she wasn't there, there were other sisters of Ghost Agents accompanying him. And the most crucial thing was that, even if one set aside all these failsafes, Jiang Chen's own strength was no match for the average person.

What's more, this was his new world.

...

The flickering lights swayed with the rhythm of the drums, youthful bodies filled the dance floor, wriggling and dancing with the beat of the music. Crisp clinking sounds of cups continued throughout the night; accompanied by laughter and ridicules.

The clock just struck 10. Nightlife had only just begun for Coro City.

It's funny to say that this was Jiang Chen's first time coming to the club... if the time in the Sixth Street doesn't count.

Looking at the figures dancing, Jiang Chen felt a sense of distance where he couldn't fuse into it. Looking at Xia Shiyu, her expression seems to be uncomfortable too.

But disregarding the gap for now, just as Natasha said, the cocktails there were really good. The titled bangs covered the feminine face and the bartender with unidentifiable sex shook the shaker in hands, skillfully mixing a glass of blue Marguerite for Jiang Chen.

It was already his fifth cup.

The alcohol concentration of the cocktail was not high, it was more like juice than alcohol.

With the urge to pee, Jiang Chen put down the glass and told Xia Shiyu.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"Mhmm."

After Jiang Chen walked away, the restrained Xia Shiyu finally felt relieved.

Somehow, she accepted Jiang Chen's invitation.

There was still work to be done and she was not good at drinking...

However, it is also true that it is time to relax after working so hard for so long.

Xia Shiyu shook her head and tried to convince herself.

At this moment, a man dressed in a plaid shirt came to sit beside her and whistled disrespectfully.

"Beauty, what's your name?"

Looking at him with a blank expression, Xia Shiyu ignored him, but took a sip of her wine.

That cold attitude made Wang Biao feel embarrassed as he slightly narrowed his eyes. In front of his boss, he patted his chest and promised that he could bring back any woman his boss is interested in.

"Our boss wants to invite you for a drink. Can you give him the opportunity?"

Following Wang Biao's sight, Xiao Shiyu saw the man sitting on the sofa in the corner. The man, who had girls on his left and right, raised his glass to her in what he thought was a cool move. That unconcealed smile made Xia Shiyu feel nauseous.

Xia Shiyu felt comical at this point. Why are there so many people who feel so good about themselves?

"It's not necessary."

"I advise you to think carefully," Wang Biao said with a grin. There was a glimmer of mischief in his narrowed eyes. "Do you know who our boss is?"

The bright red liquor reflected an impatient face, and Xia Shiyu gently shook the wine glass, and coldly responded

"Who is he?"

"Have you heard of the Green Dragon Clan?" Wang Biao said in a tone that was certain she would know him. "People on the streets know that nobody ever dares to say no to me, Biao Zi. I advise you to be obedient. Don't blame me for not warning you if something happens to you."

"Is that true? But I haven't heard of you before."

The voice of dissonance came from his back, Wang Biao frowned and turned his head.

The dimmed lights made the man's face undistinguishable. But from the outline, he seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Who are you?"

[Is this the aftereffect of the proliferation of immigrants?]

Looking at the little pawn in front of him, Jiang Chen sighed.

Xin was just like the United States in the 19th century. It was not just immigrants who longed for a good life, but also criminals who have crossed the ocean. If this hidden danger was not solved as soon as possible, it would surely ferment into serious public security problems in the future.

It seemed imminent to do something.

Seeing that the person in front of him did not answer, Wang Biao who was ignored twice was completely irritated. It was the first him being so humiliated and insulted since gaining his reputation.

"You dare to be distracted while talking to me? Are you bored of living?"

Wang Biao licked his lips and reached for Jiang Chen's neck while the other hand pulled out a bottle.

He made up his mind that he must press him in the toilet and teach him how to be humble.

However, his wish didn't come true.

Wang Qian's outstretched hand seemed to be embedded in a transparent wall. He couldn't swing down to react back as he face gradually became bloated.

The change took place in an instant so that everyone didn't respond in time. The onlookers first saw the scene and then moved back to avoid being injured accidentally. The bartender still wiped the glass in a calm manner. While she was mixing the drink, she already recognized Jiang Chen, but she didn't say anything. The heart of Xia Shiyu was about to jump out but it quickly settled back in its place.

Because she suddenly realized that being protected by the Ghost Agent, how could Jiang Chen be hurt by this little thug?

Optical invisibility gradually dispersed, and Zhu Yu, who was standing in front of Jiang Chen's body, held the man's hand calmly. The power of genetic vaccines was not something a thug could test.

The light here was dim. There were only a few that saw Zhu Yu appear out of thin air.

Facing the woman who appeared "out of thin air", Wang Biao;s eyes widened quickly. [Did I just see a ghost or am I drunk?]

Seeing the unrest on this side, crowds of onlookers gathered around and shrieked.

"Beat her!"

"Don't be a pus*y, fight her."

"Fu*k, you can't even beat a woman, are you still a man?"

However, Wang Biao didn't dare to start something. He had gradually realized that he has picked on the wrong person

Zhu Yu was indifferent to the cries of the crowd, but she whispered to Jiang Chen in the communication channel, asking what to do.

Jiang Chen did not answer, but went around Zhu Yu and stood in front of Wang Biao.

"I don't care if you are a green dragon or a white tiger, or whether you are a Biao Zi or a b*tch (homophone)," Jiang Chen said smilingly, and then finished the sentence with what made Wang Biao look like he fell into ice. "If you have heard of Future Group, then you should know who the real 'boss' is."
