Master of Masters 76

Chapter 76: The President’s Office

Knasch didn’t dare to grab He Yue’s hand, only able to hold onto the tassel of the ear clip hanging from his hand.

The tassel was pulled taut between them, one end held by the standing He Yue, the other by the kneeling Knasch. Knasch tried to pull the tassel towards himself, to bring his Master closer, but he was afraid He Yue would let go and didn’t dare to use force.

His Master could let go at any moment.

“The fox knows he was wrong… I just, I just hate him so much… I often have nightmares when I close my eyes, and my dreams are also filled with black smoke and fire. As soon as I think of Master’s gaze that day, I, I want to kill that slutty insect!” Even though he had decided to admit his mistake, Knasch still gritted his teeth as he spoke.

His Master’s eyes, reflecting the firelight, were filled with tears, the crystal clear tears reflecting the flickering flames, every bit of it making Knasch’s heart ache, giving rise to hatred.

“Continue.” He Yue said lightly.

His slightly softened attitude gave Knasch a glimmer of hope. Knasch released his grip on the tassel, a change from his usual stubbornness. He bowed and kowtowed, his forehead touching He Yue’s shoe.

This was the ultimate sign of submission.

“Master, the fox can’t think of any other way… all I have is a body that will never break and a life that can’t die. I want to do something for you, anything…” He Yue took a step back, pulling his shoe from under his forehead, rejecting his flattery. He looked down at him with cold eyes and said, “So, the only way you can think of is to cut off the imprint and end the relationship?” “…I’m sorry.” The fox knelt on the floor, guilty, and apologized softly.

“Should I be grateful for your contribution, or deeply saddened and keep you by my side?” “No, Master! I, I didn’t mean that.” Knasch, his mind clouded by hatred and love, hadn’t considered these questions. He hadn’t considered the consequences of successfully killing Oried, nor had he considered his Master’s feelings.

He thought his Master wouldn’t care.

He Yue chuckled softly. “I’m actually very annoyed. The fox I auctioned off hasn’t made any progress for so long, and can still make such a mistake.” Master doesn’t allow mistakes.

Master is Master.

“So, if we’re ending the relationship, it has to be on my terms…”

The burnt, necrotic skin from the electric shock peeled off, and the moment new flesh grew, it was both painful and itchy. The scars He Yue had left were slowly disappearing, leaving no trace.

“Get lost.”

The custom-made tassel earring clattered on the hard floor, the crisp sound snapping Knasch’s heartstrings. He wasn’t wrong, He Yue’s abandonment was ruthless, without a trace of lingering affection.

He Yue could have many, many female insects, he didn’t need Knasch.

The sound of leather shoes on the soft carpet was very light, slowly walking towards the door.

Knasch froze for a moment, quickly picked up the tassel from the floor and clutched it in his hand, crawling on his knees to follow He Yue out of the studio.

“Master… Master, I was wrong, you can punish me however you want, you can condition me however you want, you can use any means… please don’t abandon me, please… the fox won’t make a mistake again, won’t act rashly… I’ll only be your fox, you can do whatever you want…”

No matter what he said, He Yue didn’t look back.

His steady steps as he left the room didn’t pause at all, his high ponytail swaying at his waist, a ruthless shadow. He walked to the door and opened it, the fox kneeling behind him all the way, apologizing again and again, saying “Master can do whatever you want.”

He Yue stopped, looked back, his head tilted, the end of his ponytail sweeping to the other side:

“Anything?”

The bright light in the corridor illuminated half his face, the high bridge of his nose casting a slight shadow. He stood in the light and shadow, giving Knasch hope with a single sentence, lifting his spirits.

“Yes, anything!” The fox crawled excitedly to He Yue’s feet and knelt obediently. “Anything, Master… you can do whatever you want.”

“Then when you leave, take all the guns you’ve hidden in the house with you. My house has no room for your dirty things.”

He Yue turned and left, closing the door with a bang.

The lights in the corridor also went out, and the heavy sound of the closing door dragged the fox’s mood to the bottom, plunging him into darkness.

[Hos, Host, are you really going to abandon this conquest target?]

The system was a bit panicked.

He was already at 85%, just one step away, how could he just give up?

(Ah, no. I just think, compared to deceiving him with “don’t go, I care about the fox,” this method will increase his value more. The abandoned dog effect is the best, it increased by 10%, isn’t that fast?)

[No… Host, you…]

Aren’t you a bit too dedicated?

[Alright, the system is just worried you’ll be sad.]

(A little bit.)

[Host, don’t be sa…]

(My discipline is still too lenient. This guy makes a mistake the moment I’m a little gentle.)

[…]

The system’s comforting words were left unsaid, and there was no need to say them now.

(His intentions were good, it’s not an unforgivable sin.)

But that was all.

Let this guy suffer a bit, it’s good for him to learn his lesson.

He Yue and Arnis had arranged a time to discuss the contract.

For a painter, holding an art exhibition in the name of a corporation was far less desirable than holding one in their own name. He Yue had a certain attachment to his art exhibition, both because of his memories from his previous life, and because he didn’t want to be bound by Yiai Group.

Promoting Yiai Group’s art branch was an important goal, and binding his art exhibition to Yiai Group was a desperate move. Now, He Yue clearly had a much better way.

He Yue stood under the Yiai Group headquarters building, looking up at the tall building, the sunlight reflecting off the glass windows dazzling.

The various female insects around him were all employees of Yiai Group, dressed in neat suits, most of them holding a cup of takeout coffee. Their expressions were serious and cold, and although they were high-level employees, they were already quite outstanding in the insect world.

How many female insects dreamed of having a decent job in this building? And Arnis, sitting in the president’s office on the top floor, was the envy of how many female insects?

He Yue walked through them, also wearing a formal suit.

He was here to negotiate.

The contract had already been signed, and what He Yue was doing now was essentially a breach of contract. Yiai Group, as a listed company, held the number one market resources in the entire insect race, and the penalty for breach of contract was naturally astronomical.

He Yue chose to breach the contract and wanted to hold his own art exhibition completely independently, entirely for his own purposes. He had once not found any bargaining chips, nor did he know how to confront this merchant Arnis.

But now, he held a thick file, a report summarized by Wien, to prove that a painter’s personal IP cooperating with the group was more beneficial to the group than the painter relying on the group from the beginning.

He Yue didn’t quite understand how Wien, a medical doctor, could produce an economics report with both theoretical statements and practical analysis in such a short time, but even as a layman, he was impressed by the rigorous logic and simulated economic models in the file.

All of this was casually explained away by Wien as “completed with the help of a friend with a doctorate in economics.”

At least on the surface of the report, if Wien hadn’t fabricated the data, He Yue could persuade this profit-oriented merchant Arnis.

He Yue saw a familiar female insect at the front desk, the one who had brought him Oried’s reconciliation documents and claimed to be Oried’s assistant.

“Hello, Master. I’m very sorry, the president is still in a meeting with the shareholders and hasn’t finished yet. The president asked me to take you to his office to wait for a moment.”

The female insect at the front desk had a gossipy expression, his eyes repeatedly lingering on He Yue. His thoughts were obvious, and after catching the meaning of “the president’s male insect,” he couldn’t help but look at He Yue a few more times.

Even though He Yue was also wearing a formal suit, just standing there, his temperament was completely different from the other insects in suits. His features were delicate, his eyes bright and clear, without a trace of exhaustion from work, and his long, loose hair gave him the air of a calm and elegant artist.

In fact, they couldn’t even find a trace of a merchant’s sharpness and haggling.

He Yue met his gaze. He had a feeling that he would be the topic of conversation at the headquarters’ female insects’ tea party tonight.

Standing at the entrance of the president’s private elevator, there were only He Yue and the assistant. He Yue cautiously asked, “Aren’t you Speaker Oried’s assistant?”

“The president sent me to work under the Speaker to do some communication work.”

The reconciliation was indeed Arnis’s doing, and he must have put in a lot of effort. He Yue had been wondering how the stingy Speaker had bowed his head to him and willingly accepted the punishment of suspension.

He Yue said politely, “The president really doesn’t keep idle insects around.”

“You flatter me.”

He Yue casually asked, “Is the shareholders’ meeting related to me?”

He had expressed his thoughts to Arnis. Thinking about it carefully, for the president, who had a strict control over his time, to suddenly extend the shareholders’ meeting, it must be something very troublesome.

He Yue had signed the contract but wanted to breach it, and Arnis had to argue with the shareholders, which must be a very difficult matter.

The assistant replied, “Yes.”

“Can you take me to see?”

“This… I’ll ask the president.”

The assistant, who was about to press the elevator button, paused and typed some numbers into the group’s exclusive communication device. When he raised his hand again, he pressed the middle floor. “The president said yes.”

The meeting room door was tightly closed, and the soundproof wooden door didn’t let any sound out. The moment He Yue opened the door, a loud scolding came from inside:

“A group contract is not a child’s play! You can’t just change it or withdraw it as you please, where do you put the group’s credibility!”

“Lord Yilinde, if the partner is willing to withdraw this contract and switch to a more profitable way of execution, I think this is a good thing for Yiai Group.”

The female insect who spoke was Arnis. He stood in front of the illuminated display page and calmly responded to Yilinde’s anger. He spoke politely, but without any servility.

Yilinde snapped, “If you want to talk about the most profitable plan, it’s to make him pay the breach of contract fee, and then, with the condition of paying the breach of contract fee in installments, make him sign a new cooperation contract with us!”

A cunning merchant… this kind of practice was understandable for a merchant, but it was really immoral.

This kind of sinister trick was heard clearly by He Yue, who was standing silently at the back of the meeting room with a group of female insect staff.

“Your Excellency, this plan is too sinister, it doesn’t conform to the ethics of business cooperation.”

Yilinde looked like he had heard a joke and scoffed, “Compared to your methods, this is probably nothing. Don’t think I don’t know about your little tricks, your favoritism towards this male insect should stop. Don’t forget where your foundation is, and don’t forget who you owe a lifetime of gratitude to. The board of directors of Yiai Group can dismiss a president who betrays the company.”

His words left no room for negotiation, pressing half the insects to an unbearable degree.

But the insect standing before him was Arnis. He looked up and saw He Yue standing in the back row, and he adjusted his tie, which had been crooked from the heated debate.

“Your Excellency has misunderstood.”

Yilinde’s anger dissipated a little, replaced by a triumphant expression.

“If it were in the past, I might have been afraid of your words,” Arnis continued. “But now, I think…”

He leaned forward, his hands braced on the conference room table.

“Cultivating the president of a listed company takes a lot of effort. I think, in the entire insect race, you won’t find another insect more suitable for this position, who can bring such profits to Yiai Group.”

The conference room was silent, Arnis and Yilinde’s gazes locked in a silent war. The other shareholders didn’t dare to speak, holding their breath, trying to minimize their presence in the confrontation between the two.

He Yue crossed his arms and leaned against the back wall, a faint smile on his lips.

(He’s really like a peacock, eager to show off.)

He Yue, as an outsider, looked at Arnis’s obviously exaggerated performance and finally understood why he had agreed to let the assistant bring him up to watch this show.

How could the president miss this opportunity to show him his painstaking efforts?

[He’s really handsome…] The system replied.

(The most important thing for you now is to stop reading domineering CEO novels while you’re supposed to be working.)

The system, caught, its mechanical voice a bit weak: [Alright…]

“Then, please express your opinions on this resolution to withdraw the contract and start a new cooperation.”

Arnis distributed the prepared documents to every shareholder.

Yilinde didn’t speak, and the other shareholders didn’t dare to stand against him. Finally, one shareholder mustered the courage and said, “I think the breach of contract fee should still be paid… this, can’t be an exception.”

As he spoke, he studied Yilinde’s expression.

After a long while, Yilinde pressed his temples, his voice filled with weariness, finally making a concession. “The breach of contract fee can’t be a penny less. As for the new cooperation, I agree.”

The other shareholders all agreed.

“Alright,” Arnis looked up and met He Yue’s gaze from the back, nodding slightly. “I understand the shareholders’ attitude. As for the rest, I’ll discuss it with this painter.”

The information He Yue held seemed to have no chance of being used.

In the president’s office, on the table were the just-signed shareholder resolution and a draft of a new contract.

He Yue had watched the second half of the shareholders’ meeting and already understood the basic situation. He stood before Arnis’s desk, his own thoughts racing.

“Is there any room for negotiation on the breach of contract fee?” He asked.

Arnis handed He Yue a cup of brewed tea, pointed to his office chair, and answered with a question. “Does Master want to feel what it’s like to sit in the position of the president of the number one listed company in the insect race?” He Yue didn’t hesitate, walked around the desk, and sat down in the comfortable chair, which was moderately soft and perfectly ergonomic.

This chair was specially designed, with a soft pillow at the waist to reduce the burden of sitting for long periods, and the seat cushion was also soft and comfortable. Of course, physical comfort was only one aspect. The power and money this chair represented, the view of the entire insect race’s economic strength from the floor-to-ceiling window, was the real pleasure it brought.

“The president even designed his workstation so well, you really know how to enjoy life.” He Yue sat in the president’s chair, and the real president stood beside him, a strange reversal of their economic status, as if Arnis were He Yue’s assistant.

“Master, the breach of contract fee, I can pay it for you.”

He Yue raised an eyebrow in surprise. “What do you want to buy from me that’s worth the astronomical breach of contract fee?” The goodwill offered by a merchant was never without a price.

Many answers flashed through He Yue’s mind.

Like mortgaging his house, making him hold an art exhibition for Yiai Group as a worker for a few months, or even making him President Arnis’s assistant.

Arnis walked around the desk and stood beside He Yue. He turned the chair facing the desk to face him, and they were now face to face.

While He Yue was still puzzled, Arnis knelt before him.

The well-tailored suit pants rode up as he knelt, the crease at his knee the only wrinkle on the ironed pants.

He placed one hand on He Yue’s knee, a calm smile on his lips.

“Master, can I have this?”

He Yue froze for a second.

Was this a serious request?

His reason told him he should refuse, this wasn’t a normal development. But…

He Yue looked at the contract on the table and hesitated.

The breach of contract fee was really high…

“You’re going to exchange the breach of contract fee for this?”

“Yes.” Arnis didn’t hesitate.

The power of money moved He Yue. He leaned in and lifted the president’s chin, his finger gently stroking his lips.

“I didn’t know the president was this kind of insect.” His wicked nature stirred, and his desire to play was intensified by the other party’s status as president. “Do your subordinates know what their president craves every day?” “A slutty insect who craves Master’s cock.”

Such familiar words…

Even though he hadn’t been taught, Arnis could say such words so naturally.

Had someone taught him?

His gaze darkened, and he released Arnis’s chin. “I’m not interested in insects who have had a Master.” “I haven’t. My accompanying male insect died in the nurturing egg a long time ago. I, along with other insects in the same situation, were adopted by Lord Yilinde, and I stood out among all the candidates.” Arnis revealed his past. “Before I met you, Lord Yilinde’s upbringing was very strict, I never had any other male insects.” “You haven’t known me for long either.”

A flicker of evasion passed through Arnis’s eyes. “Yes, before this, I was clueless. I learned about your preferences at the Castle club, so I learned some things.” It sounded flawless.

He Yue’s gaze softened. “Then this mouth of yours, has never been fucked either.” “Yes.”

He Yue feigned helplessness and sighed. “Since you’ve paid such a high price for this opportunity, it seems… no matter how bad it is, I have to endure it.” Arnis didn’t refute, but instead chuckled happily at having received permission.

“Please guide me, Master.”

…

In fact, Arnis was far from bad, he was even skilled.

The moment his wet tongue gently touched his balls, He Yue felt something was wrong.

He had encountered a complete novice shortly after arriving in this world. The clumsiness was such that He Yue had to hold his head and press down to make it a little better.

But the president kneeling before him was different, different from the start.

He knew how to slowly probe, to let He Yue adapt to the current atmosphere. He also knew how to face an unfamiliar cock, to try and verify the sensitive points common to all insect bodies, and after He Yue was gradually aroused, to explore the places he uniquely liked.

As meticulous as a president’s business plan.

“Ugh…”

He Yue turned his head slightly, the back of his hand pressed against his slightly warm lips. He was enjoying the skilled and professional treatment, and his lust quickly arose.

The floor-to-ceiling window allowed him to see the scenery outside, and looking down, he could see the tiny insects walking on the street like ants. Even though he knew no one could see inside from this window, the effect of the one-way glass still gave He Yue a strange excitement.

The high view reminded him of his current position, and the layout of the president’s office reminded him of who was before him.

The dual dominance of mind and body, He Yue felt a new kind of excitement.

He reached out and ruffled Arnis’s well-groomed hair, not treating him as a president at all, but more like a dog.

“Ugh…”

He Yue gripped his hair.

This president’s female insect, he actually understood how to relax his throat on his first try. His expression contorted, he was probably enduring the pain in his dry throat and the urge to gag. Even so, he didn’t slacken his efforts, grabbing the armrest of the chair as he worked, pulling the chair towards himself.

He Yue’s eyes widened, and he lurched forward from the chair’s inertia, his hands on Arnis’s head to stabilize the chair’s wheels.

And thus, Arnis’s lips were almost on his body.

Under the sudden rush of pleasure, He Yue bent over and pressed down on the president’s head, his legs also unconsciously rising, his feet on Arnis’s knees.

They were very close, very close.

His heart, pounding from the pleasure, was close to Arnis’s ear, the sound of his beating heart and the pulse in his throat seemingly resonating.

Arnis braced himself against the armrest of the chair, pulling away from He Yue, then suddenly pulling him close again.

Besides the sound of his heartbeat, the lewd moans became more frequent and pleasant, sometimes close, sometimes far away.

The pulse in Arnis’s throat became more intense, until it quieted down.

After He Yue released him, he leaned back against the chair.

The chair had a comfortable soft pillow at the neck, and when he tilted his head back, the beautiful curve of his neck was visible, as was his Adam’s apple, which bobbed as he swallowed.

“You… you dare say you haven’t been fucked in the mouth?” Although his tone was questioning, it was now softened by the afterglow.

Arnis swallowed, not wasting a single drop. He chuckled. “Does practice count?” “You… you even practice?”

“You don’t like clumsy novices.”

Arnis paused, realizing he might have said the wrong thing, and added, “No one likes clumsy novices.”
