Lazily Yours.

"How the hell did you fell asleep while they were fighting?" Mr. Liang's voice boomed inside the hall of their building. "You were watching them! You were alert, and you waited! But you fell asleep! How did that happen?"

"Boss… we don't know. We woke up because the staff who escorted us out woke us up. They must have done something that could make us sleep. And— "

"Shut up!" He doesn't want to hear it. He doesn't want to listen to incompetent people anymore! "After this… Dal Valley would never be able to show their faces in the black market! We would surely die from shame! How embarrassing! The Dal Valley who was known for being ruthless, known for killing without having second thoughts actually fell asleep! This is—This is just—" Mr. Liang clutched his chest.

"Mr. Liang... Are you alright?"

"Boss, you look pale!"

"Someone call the team doctor!"

"Boss! Take a seat! Have some water first!"

This scene is not only limited to the Dal Valley Company. In the Long Company, Long Yi was staring at his people, his face dark, lips pursed into a straight line. "You failed." This competition means a lot to the Long Family, as it would help them after all that scandal with the bullet. "You brought shame!" he added. "Those people don't even know particular martial arts! Did you see them fight? They were dirty fighters! They kick your crotch and slap your faces! And you let them! YOU. LET. THEM!"

Unlike Dal Valley, no one dared talk back to Long Yi. Seeing his people's dark expression, Long Yi continued. "Those people started training months ago! MONTHS! How about you? You are older, bigger, and more experienced! And yet you lose! You—You — You actually lost to their tricks!"

"Boss Long, you said it yourself. This was because of their tricks. They also used that gas… the green one, and we thought it was dangerous. Some type of gaseous poison would immediately target their lungs, killing them in a matter of seconds. Everyone is aware of that.

So, when they saw that green gas, their first instinct was of course to run. They didn't think that Shen Security's goal all along is to make them leave the tower and ganged up on them! Those shameless people even dared kick someone who is already wounded! They are unprincipled and disgusting!

"Long Yi, that green gas…"

"I already talk to Mr. Xu, Mr. Shen already showed them the gas before. It was green and could cause some watery eyes and sore throat. Aside from that… it doesn't have any harmful effects. It was just some sort of fake poisonous gas that aims to make the enemies panic. Just like what happened earlier." Long Yi said to Xie Jun.

In response, Xie Jun shook his head in dismay. "This time, Lyca brought a lot of tricks with her. She actually made us look like clowns."

"She used us to showcase their technology." Long Yi said. As irritating as it was, this was the truth. Lyca used this competition to introduce her new gadgets to the world. This time, the Long Company didn't just lose the assembly, they would surely lose a lot of clients. He eyed his team, disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He wanted to lash out at them, cursed them. But then again, he also couldn't blame them. They aren't weak. It's just that Lyca's people were crafty.

And in this world, the strongest don't always win. Mostly, the crafty and wise would prevail.

"Let this be a lesson to you. Never underestimate someone again." Long Yi didn't know if he said those words for his team or for himself. After all, he, just like everyone else, underestimated Lyca's people. "Asked the doctors to check everyone! Prioritize those who had to sever injuries." He said before leaving the hall. Right after they announced the winner, Long Yi brought his people here without even bandaging their wounds because he wanted to say something to them.

Long Yi walked out of the hall. He turned on his phone, intending to call his father when his wife suddenly blocked his way. "Huang Xiaoxuan… can you move?" He didn't hide the irritation in his voice.

"I'm about to give birth. My stomach is hurting."

This statement made Long Yi paused. He stared at her. "Then call your doctors. Have the driver send you home so you could give birth."

"You're not going to come with me?"

Long Yi furrowed his brows. "Can't you see what was happening? I am busy! I need to pacify a lot of investors after this."

"But I am about to give birth! It… It is really starting to hurt!" Sweat was already trickling down Huang Xiaoxuan's forehead.

"Do you need me to push the baby for you?" Long Yi snapped back. "Do you think the baby is inside me?"

"You— "

"I can't help you. I'm not some doctor!" Done talking, Long Yi walked past her.

"Long Yi!" Huang Xiaoxuan tried to follow him but she stopped when her stomach started hurting again. She held her bulging stomach, her face paling. The reason why she didn't leave even if it was already hurting was that she wanted to look pale and weak. She hoped it was enough to arouse Long Yi's pity.

She was wrong.

And she was too stupid.

Long Yi ignored her as he walked out of the building. Right now, there are more important matters to attend to than this woman's baby. Their losses this time are not going to be small.

"Long Yi! What the hell happened! Tell me everything!" Long Yi had to put the phone away from his ears to avoid breaking his eardrums from his father's screams.

"Calm down father… I still have ways…" Long Yi started talking to his father, telling him everything about Shen Security and his plan to poach some of their people. That's right, Long Yi was indeed planning to poach some of Lyca's people.

Long Yi noticed that everyone on Lyca's team were people that they randomly pick up on the streets. Most of them were homeless too. And usually, people like this are the easiest to sway.
