Chapter - 22

[A/N: - Many thanks for "JUST_LAUGH" for the new cover, it really looks great.

I want to remind you guys of some things.

1- I said it before that my MC is inherently a good guy. Although he wouldn't go out of his way to look for people to help, but he can help people in need just fine, and in conflicts he will choose the least violent way to solve them.

He is ok with genocide as well if it's really needed, or if some people continued to push his buttons.

2- I said that will be some emotional manipulation as well, so yeah.

3- The cold and tsundere Ruoxi will barely make an appearance in my book. I mean he was her first love and they spent time together in college and she is warm as hell to him, suddenly making her cold won't make any sense at all.]

____________

Waking up from his sleep, Jin noticed the unfamiliar ceiling and remembered what happened the day before, his marriage with Ruoxi and agreeing to stay with her till she get the courage to stay with him in his mansion.

Looking around the room, Jin was a little surprised and felt that Ruoxi was quite attentive when she thought he might accept her proposal. The room was humongous, to the point where it was bigger than an entire apartment in some poor areas. Ceiling-to-floor windows with white curtains swayed at the side, a large king-sized bed, a 42-inch Sony LED TV, an Apple computer at the bedside, classical decorated side lamp, and shining parquet floor. Looking towards the wall, he saw two huge built-in cabinets, filled to the brim with brand new branded clothes, neckties, and leather shoes. He can create his own clothes, and he was not really a fan of formal attires, since he loves casual clothing more, but he still appreciates the gesture.

He was feeling kinda weird from waking up alone, since all the time since he swiped his V-Card with Saeko, he is always accompanied by one or more of his girls during him morning. Although he didn't really wake up alone as he is currently in the mansion right now having his fun with Raltoria, he is still feeling quite weird for waking up alone.

[A/N: - I don't know if there was a bathroom attached to the room or not, and honestly won't be wasting time for searching for something like that, but meh I made that each room has a separate bathroom.]

He then went to the bathroom, washed up and took a bath before wearing some casual clothes and heading downstairs where he saw Wang Ma in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Wang Ma."

"Ah, good morning, Young Master. I hope you slept well. Please wait a minute and the food will be ready."

Wang Ma greeted Jin with a warm smile as she went back to preparing food for him.

Scanning the villa, he noticed that Ruoxi wasn't in the house, so he spoke to Wang Ma.

"Wang Ma, did Ruoxi leave already? It's still so early in the morning."

Hearing his question, Wang Ma sighed sadly as she spoke.

"Young Miss left early in the morning without even eating her breakfast. She said that she had a lot of work that must be done today as she left it unfinished yesterday to meet with Young Master."

"I see." (Jin)

"Since the death of The Old CEO, Young Miss has been pushing herself too much to take care of the company, after leaving the university, she stopped acting like a girl of her age and always wore that cold face with other people. The only few times I saw her acting like a girl of her age is with Young Master, Miss Mo, Miss Cai, or when she is watching her favorite drama."

Wang Ma spoke sadly as she sighed regretfully.

'If Young Miss didn't have to bear that responsibility at young age, would she have married Young Master earlier?'

Wang Ma thought to herself as a small smile appeared on her face imagining a chibi little Ruoxi running around the villa playing with Jin while Ruoxi was watching from a distance smiling.

'*Sigh* At least she married Young Master, she can finally get the family she always yearned for. And even his other women aren't really bad.'

Thought Wang Ma as she remembered meeting Jin before with a blonde foreigner named Jane before when she was having her seasonal shoes shopping. Back then Jin and Jane were shopping in Zhong Hai when she came to visit him here before and to check on one of her students.

When Wang Ma met them, Jin invited her to have lunch with them and she talked a lot with Jane and took a liking to that little girl.

[A/N: - Jin is not dating Jane yet and he didn't ask Wang Ma about why she was shopping since he met her before she bought the shoes(last part of this note is for the people who read the original, it will be explained later)]

[A/N2: - About eating other food that is not cooked by Jin. He uses his powers over his food to make it not spoil the taste buds of the consumers, so basically he and his harem can enjoy any other 'mortal' food with no problem without feeling the disgust shown in other fanfictions with the Main Characters having superb cooking skills, and this is the reason he eats normal food and enjoys it even if the food is not up to the 'quality' of his regular food.]

Wang Ma then put the finished breakfast in front of Jin who started eating while listening to the morning news that was in the segment for Zhong Hai's local news on the TV. It had the subject of bank robbing in Zhong Hai as the headlines. It appears to have been the second time a bank has been robbed this month, and the title of the piece was "Terrifying bank robbery re-emerges!"

On the screen was a bank in Zhong Hai which had its door and several walls bombed open, cordoned off by the police yellow tape. A number of medical personnel carried out bank employees and clients who were hurt. By the side of the road were a crowd of onlookers, and amongst them were relatives who were wailing and scolding the police.

According to the reporter at the scene, yesterday afternoon, at that bank which got bombed, eight robbers took a modified Ford van, and charged into the bank with it. They didn't just steal millions, they even hurt a large number of employees and customers. In the end, they took advantage of the speed of their modified vehicle and rash driving skills to run off with a hostage, they got to the suburbs of Zhong Hai, hoodwinked the police and dodged pursuit.

"For a country that prides itself in the strict regulation of weapons, it sure has some brazen bank robberies."

Jin said while eating his food. He was secretly thinking of dealing with these people in his free time later.

After finishing his meal, he then went upstairs and created a gaming set for himself instead of the Apple pc that Ruoxi had in the room.

After booting his PC, he suddenly remembered his past life's hobby as a streamer and had the fleeting thought of doing it again here in this world.

After remembering that his company had a streaming service that he of course plagiarized from Twitch from his past life(why bother creating a new one if you can already claim an existing idea?) and it currently has about 35 million visitors per month. He decided to take a shot at it in this life as well.

He had to thank himself for advancing the technology of the current world so fast. The current level of technology at least rivals 2018 in his past life, except the mentality of people, so gaming live streams are not as popular these days unlike the future.

The procrastinating Primordial however had the confidence to become a pioneer in that field using his gaming skills and his charisma, not to mention that he is funny(he thinks that he is) so he will build a big fanbase in no time!

After setting up an account with the username of "Darkstar11051999"[A/N: - Heh.], he then downloaded Warcraft and made an account with the same name and decided to start his stream.

[3 hours later]

Things didn't quite play like how he envisioned them to…

It's not that his stream didn't have any people, on the contrary in fact. He is now taking the #1 spot on the homepage of the website and is currently being watched by 150k viewers, got 70k followers and 4k subscribers to his stream.

The problem is not the number of people watching him, the problem is the audience itself, like this write now…

[Lovely_Mama69 has sent a Rocket($10k)!]

Reading the message sent with the Rocket, the Salty Primordial's lips twitched for the umpteenth time during these three hours.

"Thank you, Lovely_Mama69 for the Rocket, however I have no interest in you being my Sugar Mama, thank you."

Yes, the problem was that about 87% of the audience of his stream were females, especially some privileged young ladies and horny rich ladies who wanted him as a gigolo.

The stream started out nicely and most of the ones in the chat were dudes and they were having fun and joking around with each other until after 40 minutes live when his stream hit the top 20 on the front page.

Suddenly, the guys started disappearing and they were replaced by hordes of females that came to his stream and had their numbers multiply by the second.

The outbreak of the sugar mommy requests started after someone asked him to sing a song in the waiting time before the game started, and it was the reason why the number of females reached such a terrifying degree.

Most of them never played Warcraft or even heard of it, and many of these accounts were created during the time of the stream!

Feeling mentally fatigued, he decided to end the stream for today and go have something sweet.

Taking a quick cold shower and wearing his clothes, the Depressed Primordial made his way to the door, but looked for Wang Ma to inform her first.

Just as he was going to search for her, Wang Ma came out of the kitchen as she saw him heading out.

"Young Master, are you perhaps going out?" (Wang Ma)

"Ah, yes. I just finished 'working' and wanted to take a breather, so I'll be out for a while."

Jin replied with a smile.

"Is that so? If Young Master is free, may I ask you to deliver this lunch to Young Miss? And can you please make sure that Young Miss finishes her food properly? Whenever she skips meals for work, she lies about eating outside, but she still doesn't eat."

Asked Wang Ma with a worried expression.

"Sure thing, no problem."

Jin answered with a smile as he took the things in Wang Ma's hand.

It was a warm lunch box and a Thermos flask of nourishing chicken soup. He looked at the things in his hands and shook his head with a smile thinking that even if every single member of Ruoxi's family was an asshole, she is still lucky to have someone like Wang Ma caring for her like her own daughter.

Closing the door behind him, Jin stored the food away as he made it to his car.

He started driving till he arrived to at the northern outskirts of Zhong Hai, there was a row of antique houses set up by a riverbank. Amidst the greenery, the houses exerted an ambience of elegance and tranquility.

This area used to be the home of Zhong Hai's most famous education institutions. Due to the increase in population over the past few years, many of the institutions had made their way into the city center to further accommodate their expanding network of students.

Now all that was left in the area were the first and oldest institutions ever built within the boundaries of Zhong Hai. These were the few that withstood the test of time.

One of those institutions was named Yu Lei Highschool. It was covered in thick vines which engulfed both sides of the school gates. Beyond the gates stood several well-worn cement pavements. Each one of them led to its own four to five story high academic building. This was an institution that would hardly stand out in the eyes of the casual pedestrian.

Jin looked briefly at these buildings before he continued driving till he arrived at an empty place where he parked his car and walked for a while.

After walking for a bit, he arrived at a glutinous rice balls shop that had an antique outlook. The storefront housed a sign with the words 'Zhao's Glutinous Rice Balls'. Flanking its sides were paragraphs describing the history of their family business. Located between a row of restaurants and eateries, it was rather underwhelming to say the least. But nonetheless, there was a surprisingly long queue outside the shop!

Seeing that it was still early and the rush hour after school ends will begin after about half an hour, Jin stayed patiently in line to get his glutinous rice balls.

After a while, all the people in front of him had their orders and left and only he remained. Making his way to the counter, he was enthusiastically greeted by an energetic old man and a young man.

"Benefactor Shenyu! Why did you have to wait in such a long line?! Are you trying to insult me?!"

The old man was angry that his benefactor had to wait in such a long line just for some rice balls. He literally gave him a new lease of life, and he let him wait in such a long line like that?! The old man was extremely furious.

"It's good seeing you energetic as ever, Old Zhao. How have you been lately? Is your body ok? Did you have any problems?"

Jin asked with a smile as he looked at the amiable old man in front of him.

"Of course! I am a healthy as a horse!"

The old man smiled while looking at Jin.

"Ok, Old Zhao, let's catch up later, the customers are starting to gather again."

Jin motioned at the people starting to form another line behind him as they talked with each other.

"Ok then, please give me one soybean and one sesame flavored ones along with some of the other flavors. Don't get any salty ones or ones that are too sweet. Those in a separate box.

The other order, is every type on your menu, please."

Jin said with a smile as he looked at the slightly surprised old man in front of him. Although he orders the same order every time he comes here, the old man always gets surprised at how the young man can eat all these rice balls by himself, but he still got himself together as he went back to the kitchen to show his craft. He also remembered about bribing Ruoxi with her favorite glutinous rice balls to make her eat lunch, so he ordered her favorites as well.

[A/N: - I went through fucking a lot just to search for Ruoxi's favorite types of glutinous rice balls(first order). I don't understand why the heck don't they have these info on the wiki? Lemme take this moment and thank all the editors and content creators on the wiki of Against the Gods, it's freaking perfect!]

After a while, the son of the old man came with a cup of tea for Jin as they started talking with each other while laughing.

Half an hour later, the old man came with the finished order of Jin as he handed the glutinous rice balls to him.

After a small fight where, Old Zhao refused to take money and Jin insisting that he pays for his absurd order, Jin finally forced Old Zhao to accept the money as he took his glutinous rice balls and stored them while taking one of his box and munching on it with delight.

One bite into the glutinous rice ball unraveled its sweet fragrance without being overpowering. The red or soybean filling was pleasantly sweet but not too greasy.

Jin once again mentally approved of Ruoxi's taste buds and thanked her silently for showing him this shop. These glutinous rice balls were a treat that no one could resist.

After eating some of his sweets, he got into the car as he started driving towards Yu Lei.

Located at the central business district of Zhong Hai, Yu Lei International headquarters was a building over forty stories tall, the word "International" was not just boasting either, considering the fact that it has blossomed in three markets namely Europe, USA, and Japan. Yu Lei International has even become one of China's top 10 companies in fashion and cosmetics.

The entire Yu Lei building was just like a slender and elegant silver tulip, its smooth lines and simple yet elegant decor makes those who enter the building feel livelier and more invigorated.

The air was filled with the faint smell of perfume, and all kinds of flowers and plants are attractively placed all around the building, bringing the beauty of nature to the plain, white-toned decorations of the building.

However, what makes Yu Lei International Headquarters famous isn't its unique style of decor, but the many kinds of beautiful employees wearing the "Office Lady" uniforms instead.

As they are a part of the fashion and cosmetics industry, it was as expected that females are the absolute majority. But what takes the cake was this, as Yu Lei International recruitment obviously takes corporate image into account, all of the employees who enter the company, are intelligent and beautiful city girls, even the worst are delicate and pleasant ladies. As for the company's or their partnered models, they can induce millions to daydream .

As a result, there are many lonely city men walking in circles outside of Yu Lei International, every single one of them hoping to hook onto one of the women inside. The only problem is that those who succeed are next to nothing.

Taking all that to account. Jin who just got out of a supercar with his celestial face and comforting aura was like a prey entering a den of wolves, or to be precise, vixens.

As he walked in, all lines of sights of the females were naturally fixed on him as he made his way through the reception towards the elevator.

Finally realizing that their target has already disappeared, the females in the lobby sighed in regret as they started gossiping among themselves about that handsome fellow who just went upstairs. All these talks were immediately stopped when their supervisor came and roared at them to do their job, so they went back to their jobs, albeit reluctantly.

The man who was the reason for all this however was currently in the elevator heading towards the top floor while humming a tune as he took the food, the soup, and the box of glutinous rice balls into his hands as he used his powers to alter the security cameras' footages to make it seem like he had carried the stuff in his hands from the moment he entered the building.

A few seconds later, he arrived at the top floor, of which only consisted of the CEO's office and leisure room. The fashionable top grade transparent materials and a variety of bonsai trees, brought about a bright and spacious feel. With subtle and detailed management in all places, it completely manifested respect towards the identity of the CEO of this big establishment.

Not really in the mood to deal with Ruoxi's flat chested secretary(also his junior), the Lazy Primordial concealed his presence as he made his way down the path as he arrived at a gorgeously carved milk-white door.

Casting a sound isolation barrier around the secretary's office till he gets in, Jin knocked on the door of Ruoxi's office.

"Wu Yue, you can come in."

Hearing Ruoxi's voice from the inside and seeing that she mistook him for the secretary, he waited for a while then decided to speak naturally.

"Wang Ma's deliver service, where the food is always hot, and it will be shoved down your throat whether you're hungry or not."

The Creepy Primordial spoke with a natural tone while giving himself a 23/10 on his cringe meter score.

Hearing nothing but silence coming from Ruoxi's office, Jin decided to enter.

Opening the door, Jin was hit by the smell of Jasmine that came out of the open door.

Looking inside the CEO office, the entire office was unusually big, it was way over a 100 square meters, and formed a semi-circle, the circular side was all clean floor-to-ceiling windows from end to end, which allowed the hustle and bustle of the city to be seen from any spot. The thin white translucent curtains blew along with the wind from the AC.

On the floor was a soft Mediterranean wool carpet with diverse and archaic designs. Several bonsai trees were placed on the table and corners of the room, while the entire office's lights helped to complement it.

The crystal chandelier on the ceiling was also a rare collector's item, its exquisite workmanship refracted all the light rays into the office with a dazzling luster and brought threads of magnificence and mysticism into the whole room.

Several silver-coated metal bookshelves filled with design books covered the room. Next to the shelves, a huge mahogany desk could be seen. Except, at this moment, behind that desk, the seat of the "CEO" was empty.

Feeling puzzled, Jin scanned the whole office and noticed that Ruoxi went to the rest room, probably gave Wu Yue's the permission to enter when she was on her way to enter so she didn't hear his cool delivery line.

After relaxing on the large sofa at the side and waiting for a while, at the right side of the office, a door leading to a rest room opened. A person elegantly walked out from that door. It was Ruoxi who finished…..whatever business she had inside…

Upon seeing that the one waiting for her was Jin not Wu Yue, her face turned into a blushing mess as she felt embarrassed for being seen by Jin after coming out of the bathroom.

The crystal high-heeled shoe wearing woman in front of him had a pair black leggings which wrapped around her slender legs emitting a certain type of low-key charm. She wore a beige colored close-fitting businesswomen's suit, which made her figure seem to follow the proportions of the golden ratio brilliantly. Under her slim waist was a beautiful and well-rounded butt that would cause excitement in the blood of all men.

Her head of long black hair was neatly tied up, allowing her graceful swan-like snow-white neck even more dazzling. If it were just these it would still be bearable, what makes her truly irresistible is that heaven-sent face, which was beautiful to the point it makes one powerless against it.

Seeing her current blushing face, Jin took a mental image and saved it into his "Cultured Material" mental folder. Even if he saw countless divine beauties, he had to admit that the woman in front of him was so damn adorable!

Seeing her flustered like that as her mouth kept opening and closing like a cute fish, Jin chuckled as he spoke first to save her from the embarrassment.

"Wang Ma said that you skipped breakfast because you had work to do today. She sent me to deliver your lunch because she was worried that you won't eat."

Jin said as he put the lunch box and Thermos on the table in front of him. He also put the box of Ruoxi's glutinous rice balls near them to entice her.

'Why does it feel like I'm training a pet?'

He shook his head to remove these disturbing thoughts as he took his own box of rice balls and started eating.

Ruoxi who was now seated on her office looked at Jin who was eating his rice balls with delight as she finally noticed that the glutinous rice balls he bought were from her favorite shop!

'He is doing this on purpose! I also feel hungry for skipping breakfast, so maybe if I…'

"No glutinous rice balls for bad girls who skip meals."

She heard Jin's voice that shattered her wishful thinking of getting the glutinous rice balls for lunch.

'Hmph! I won't eat then!'

Ruoxi thought like a spoiled brat while puffing her cheeks.

She then decided to ignore Jin who was eating and focus on her work….. or so she thought. Her stomach kept making noises that made her want to bury herself in a hole from embarrassment.

Jin who was trying his best to hold his laughter finished eating his portion as he wiped his hand and mouth.

Looking towards Ruoxi who had an envious expression on her face that she quickly hid, he chuckled a little before his hand went towards her sealed box.

"You still won't eat your lunch, Ruoxi?"

Jin asked with a smile as he held the box of glutinous rice balls in his hand.

"Hmph! I am not hungry; I may just take some glutinous rice balls as a snack."

Ruoxi said, but her stomach growled which made Ruoxi's face turn red as a tomato as Jin burst out laughing.

"D-Don't laugh!"

She was practically pleading with puppy eyes.

>Ruoxi used puppy eyes!

>It was super effective!

Jin felt like he as shot with an arrow to the heart as he got a -500 HP message.

'Damn! She is adorable!'

He was fighting the urge to hug that woman and pat her head right this instant!

Coughing to break the mood, Jin decided to have fun and roleplay his chuuni inner self.

He took the glutinous rice balls box in his hand as he walked towards an open window as he stood near.

"AHAHAHAHA, Lin Ruoxi! You brought this upon yourself! Since you refuse to obey, you can kiss them goodbye!"

He acted like a gang boss or an asshole young master who was blackmailing her as his hand that held the box went through the window and was holding the box in the air.

Ruoxi who saw him like that knew that he was easing her embarrassment and felt warmth in her heart, however she was amused by his antiques and decided to take her mind off work for a bit and join the fun. And she did.

"NOOO! Please don't hurt them! I will do whatever you want just leave them alone!"

Ruoxi forgot that she was in her office as she pleaded and acted like a woman who was about to sacrifice everything she has to save her loved ones(glutinous rice balls).

Now it was the time for Jin to be shocked! He decided to act like this to break the mood, but he never thought that Ruoxi would play along! He looked at her with appraising eyes as he could feel the requirement of a weeb deep in her soul!

'What a fine young seedling! Maybe she will become Medea v2.0 and carry my legacy as well!'

He was about to continue to speak, however reality is often disappointing.

*BAANG!!*

The office door was kicked open as a lady in a fitting black dress, perfectly covering her slim waist and outstanding butt, snow-white shirt, and hair rolled into a bun. Beneath that pair of beautiful long jade-like legs were a pair of crystal high heels.

She was indeed a pretty woman, with a fit body and cutesy face with beauty comparable to Rose.

However, that beautiful image was destroyed as the lady stormed inside the office with a fierce expression on her face with a pepper spray in her hand.

"Leave Ruoxi alone you scum! I'll call the po….lice?"

The woman who suddenly stormed the office froze in place seeing the state of her best friend.

She saw her in a pleading stance as a man took a box of sweets as a…. hostage?

"What the hell?!"

Was what Mo Qianni asked while looking at her best friend.
