Chapter 22: Angry Little Bird

After experiencing a sweet confession one night, albeit one directed at a rather strange target, Young Master Lin You lived a considerably comfortable life for more than half a month.

Actually, saying it was “comfortable” was already beautifying the situation by about five points. According to Mu Two, who had witnessed it firsthand, “My boss practically found himself a little ancestor. He spoils him so much that he’s practically ready to put him on an altar.”

Of course, even if Young Master Lin You’s life was ridiculously decadent , Lin You considered himself quite serious and responsible about his work. Being a personal guide twenty-four hours a day was truly a difficult and exhausting job! More importantly, serving as a personal guide for the blind wasn’t even his full-time occupation. Aside from his aforementioned daily duties, he also occasionally had to accompany his master through duo or team dungeons, taking down various wealthy bosses from both China and abroad.

The weather had already begun to grow hot. The mornings and evenings might still be slightly cool, but after ten o’clock, the sun relentlessly radiated its light and heat, as though it were determined to illuminate certain people’s lives.

However, no matter what the weather outside was like, the temperature inside a top-class luxury hotel remained comfortably constant all year round. It was already lunchtime, and Lin You was sitting with his master on a sofa in the banquet hall, quietly telling him which dishes were edible, which ones tasted terrible, how many people around them were looking in their direction, what expressions they had, and whether they were planning to come over and cozy up to them.

Boss Mu leisurely ate with a spoon and fork as he listened to his parrot chatter away, describing his opponents and allies in a way that was utterly speechless.

“Tsk, there’s a bald guy over there! Even if he wears a wig, this lord can still tell he’s bald. And the way he doesn’t even dare walk too quickly makes me want to laugh. Squawk squawk~ He wanted to come over, but Mu One’s dead-fish eyes scared him away! Mu One did great!”

“Aiya, there’s a beauty coming over! But why does this lord think she looks a little strange? Judging from her facial features, she should be seriously ill right now, shouldn’t she? Tsk, her facial features don’t match reality. Believe me, Master~ More than seventy percent of that face isn’t hers anymore. Be careful about getting into bed with her, squawk squawk!”

“Oh, there’s another one here…”

As Mu Yanxiao listened, he could practically feel the veins on his forehead popping out one after another. How had the business networking luncheon he originally found so dull become so… full of surprises when described through the mouth of his parrot spirit?

He suddenly felt as though this high-class networking luncheon had turned into some kind of shady pimping convention. He really wanted to laugh.

“Aiya! It looks like some big shot has arrived over there!” Suddenly, Mu Yanxiao heard a hint of surprise in Lin You’s voice. But the next moment, that surprise was replaced by disgust. “What’s going on? Why are your two troublesome cousins here too? They’re even fawning all over an old man who looks exactly like KFC Grandpa.”

Mu Yanxiao, “…” There were so many things to complain about that he didn’t even know where to start.

However, after hearing those words, Lin You clearly felt his master sit up straight. Although the expression on Mu Yanxiao’s face barely changed, the aura surrounding him had completely changed.

Lin You tilted his head, then leaned down and whispered into Mu Yanxiao’s ear, “Is that KFC Grandpa very powerful?”

The corners of Mu Yanxiao’s lips twitched, but he still nodded. “If I’m not mistaken, he should be the CEO of a very influential food manufacturing company in Europe. Zheng Yuhu and the others probably want to use him to gain some support for their grandfather’s influence and economic control in Europe.”

Lin You flapped his wings. “Are you sure? KFC Grandpa is just a food businessman. Does he really have that much influence?”

Mu Yanxiao put down his knife and fork, then flicked his parrot on the head. “I’m just an ordinary businessman in mechanical energy and electronic network products myself.”

Lin You, “…” Heh. These damn dangerous people always had some seemingly respectable and ordinary business to use as a disguise. Just think about it. Mu Yanxiao was already involved with the European Mafia and a domestic armed force, so how could KFC Grandpa, who had spent his entire life in Europe, possibly not have some other underground businesses? Hmm. And judging from Mu Yanxiao’s words and attitude, this old man was probably quite a formidable character.

“Then should we go over and cozy up to him too?” Lin You tilted his head and asked softly. “But you’re blind, and I have to pretend to be stupid. It’ll be hard to curry favor with him…”

Mu Yanxiao laughed outright when he heard this, then shook his head. “Don’t make things difficult for yourself. My main battlefield is China. No matter how much the overseas market expands, there are still geographical and cultural limitations. I’ll do my best to continue expanding Grandpa’s businesses, but as for those restless forces, Mu One can simply streamline them. In my opinion, Grandpa’s businesses are still somewhat unstable and questionable. If things continue like this for too long, there will eventually be problems.”

“So you’re showing off your long-term, correct vision to me?” Young Master Lin You raised a wing, deciding that if his blind master nodded, he would smack him with it.

Mu Yanxiao wore an expression that practically said, That’s exactly what I mean, while seriously denying it. “I’m telling you that your master doesn’t need to curry favor with that KFC Grandpa. If he sees me, we can greet each other and discuss cooperation. That’s all.”

“Before I turned twenty-five, I didn’t have this confidence. But now, even though I’m blind, I have the confidence to be no less than anyone else.” His tone was incredibly calm, but to Lin You’s ears, those words were suddenly filled with heroic spirit.

“Squawk squawk~ Master is so cool, handsome, domineering, and awesome!!”

Master Mu Yanxiao, “…” Those words had been used to death. They sounded especially like another name for a sucker.

Thus, under his master’s overwhelming domineering aura, Young Master Lin You abandoned his plan to go over and cozy up to KFC Grandpa.

At the same time, Zheng Yuhu and Chen Yuhe, who were gathered around George Albert, noticed that Mu Yanxiao had not taken the initiative to come over and strike up a conversation. Their slightly tense hearts relaxed considerably.

They already had far fewer advantages and resources than Mu Yanxiao. If Mu Yanxiao took the initiative to approach them at this point, the cooperation they wanted would probably go straight down the drain.

George Albert had just been persuaded by Zheng Yuhu to show some willingness to cooperate. Although the price of cooperation was somewhat high, if they could successfully reach an agreement, it would be a qualitative leap for their plans and their benefits. As long as they put in a little more effort on this foundation, they would be able to stand on equal footing with Mu Yanxiao.

When that happened, whether it was their grandfather’s forces in Europe or the Mu Family itself, everything would fall into the hands of the Zheng and Chen Families!

Thinking about this, the expression on Zheng Yuhu’s face became even gentler, while Chen Yuhe was already impatient to reveal a cruel smile.

The sight of that smile made Lin You curl his lip in disgust. Although he couldn’t actually curl his lips anymore, he still wished a cat would come along and scratch that guy’s face to pieces.

Well, perhaps after Young Master Lin You had changed from a human into a parrot, he had also inherited a bit of the unlucky or crow’s-mouth attribute. As Lin You flapped his wings and ate snacks from the table while cursing someone in his mind, his feathers suddenly stood on end. He instinctively spread his wings, preparing to take off!

At the same time, a distinctly sly-sounding meow rang out, accompanied by Chen Yuhe’s cry of pain. Everyone saw a fat cat that looked remarkably similar to a certain celebrity Garfield trample across Chen Yuhe’s face with lightning speed before pouncing directly onto the light gray-blue Congo Grey Parrot standing on the marble dining table.

The parrot instantly spread his wings and took flight. Unfortunately, two of his beautiful tail feathers were still ripped out by Garfield.

“Fuck—!! You dare attack this lord?! And you even ripped off this lord’s tail feathers!! This lord is going to kill you and turn you into Dragon and Tiger Stew !! Fuuuck youuu~~!! ”

“Meow?!”

Mu Yanxiao frowned tightly as he thought about whether the cat being cursed out by his parrot spirit was KFC Grandpa’s Garfield. If he was, how could he get revenge for his parrot cleanly and efficiently? Shave off his whiskers?

Meanwhile, the many wealthy people, nouveau riche, celebrities, and others gathered throughout the banquet hall all stared in stunned disbelief at the Congo Grey confronting the cat. Their hearts roared: Holy crap! This parrot is actually this fierce when facing a cat, and he can even curse in English?!

For a moment, they all felt that this parrot was unbelievably cool, domineering, and impressive… And also incredibly cute. What were they supposed to do about that?
