Xiao Yun stopped at Chuan Huan Jing's office to see a navy colored gown with embroidered sparrows glittering in the collar. The collar of the dress covered the neck followed down by the flowers and leaves embroidered by a golden thread in the waist.
"This dress is it finished?" Xiao Yun asked, her eyes couldn't stay away from the beauty depicted by the dress.
"Yes, boss. I still have some other dress, do you also want to see them?" Chuan Huan Jing asked but he had already moved to pull the curtain to show a few couples of other dresses that he finished in three days.
"You did this in three days...?" Xiao Yun asked with doubt. The dress was mostly embroidered by hand with different techniques that were difficult to do. It was Chuan Huan Jing's unique designing techniques and the one that made him utterly different from the rest of the designers.
"Ah, yes." Chuan Huan Jing confirmed.
"That's amazing..." Xiao Yun praised to feel the quality of the stitches of the dress. Chuan Huan Jig who rarely heard any of heartfelt praises rubbed his head shyly and murmured. "It's nothing amazing. Most designers always do this too. To us, making clothes are our lives."
Xiao Yun agreed and put the case back on the track. "Tomorrow I will be attending to an important evening party and then I have an idea of wearing your dress for a showcase."
If Xiao Yun has to praise, the socialites have a very good eye in scanning other people's dresses. With a dress that even an amateur could discern its splendor, those spectators wouldn't miss it. The party is the best place for her to advertise her shop before it open.
"Of course! Wait a moment, which gown would you want to try, boss?" Chuan Huan Jing walked over to choose the gown by imagining which would fit the occasion and Xiao Yun's pale skin.
"As expected this one is the best." Xiao Yun pointed the navy dress with gold thread. Not only that the deep blue color brought her skin alive, but the golden embroidered will also attract enough attention to the details of the dress.
"I agree." Chuan Huan Jing nodded. "The blue color fit boss's skin is very well-suited for the dress color and based on the evening party would be held in a bright room so the golden color will sparkles." Chuan Huan Jing continued.
"Ah- but will the dress fit me?"
"It will!" Chuan Huan Jing replied confidently. Since he saw Xiao Yun, the dress that he made mostly inspired by the boss. As a designer, he imagined which situation the dress could be used and was quite confident that the dress would suit Xiao Yun's aura.

Xiao Yun lifted her brows and didn't ask much. "Well, then I will be trying this dress. Thank you, Huan Jing."
"No problem, the fitting room is over there, boss." Chuan Huan Jing pointed to the side where the fitting room was.
Xiao Yun walked over but stopped and asked the thing that had been dwelling in her mind. "Huan Jing, why do you keep on calling me boss?"
Chua Huan Jing slanted his head. "Because boss is the boss?"
Xiao Yun gave a long uh and entered the fitting room without asking more.
When the night fell, on the other side of the capital Wang Li Lei entered the tall building. The authentic furniture of Chinese ornaments undoubtedly breath-taking but with how dim the place was it only became eerie. A man with a block-like expression walked over to greet him the moment he arrived at the entrance.
"The master is waiting at the twenty fifth floor." He spoke briefly and when he received a slight nod from Wang Li Lei, they proceed to ascend the floor to stop at the floor where Suan Lung was in.
A light knock resounded from Suan Lung's room. "Mr. Wang has arrived."
"Let him in." Suan Lung replied and contentedly smiled at his future successor. "How are ya?"
"I'm well, Suan Shifu." Wang Li Lei replied to take a seat at the place.
Suan Lung stared at his expression and smirked. "You seemed to have a determination now. Who is it this time?"
"Choi Group's Head." Wang Li Lei returned and saw Suan Lung's eyes widened. He knew that the person Wang Li Lei's targeting is someone critical to the point he consent to become his successor even after his first rejection. But he could never guess that the person he was aiming was the Korean's underworld head.
"Choi Yeon Jun, you mean?" he paused for a moment and inched his curious face forward. "Why?"
"He forgot his debt." Suan Lung chuckled and burst into a burst of small laughter. His answer didn't change since their last phone call, meaning this "debt" he meant must tangle with harming something precious to him. And there was only one thing that was far precious than his life at the moment, his fiancee. He stared at the pair of eyes that reminded him of the small little boy who confidently asked to be his student. The same eyes with deep hatred that would only be satiated with the blood of his enemy. "You're holding a deep grudge because of debt?" his tone had the same haughtiness that he usually had but this time with cold amusement.

Wang Li Lei tilted his chin slightly and replied with a meaningful gaze to take a sip from his tea.
Suan Lung realized that he had been talking away from his intention today and brought the matter back. "Anyway, you do know that being my successor wouldn't be easy, don't you?"
"Yes." Wang Li Lei was firm with his words. Not soon after he replied, knock resounded again across the door.
"They came." Suan Lung smiled at Wang Li Lei and assured. "I'll be on your side. Do what you like."
Wang Li Lei's eyes stopped a moment and smiled. "Thank you, Suan Shifu."
Three men with different figures entered the room and took a seat at the round table. At first, they didn't seem to be interested in Wang Li Lei but nevertheless out of curiosity and Wang Li Lei's immense presence, their eyes found its own way to scan the young man sitting beside Suan Lung.
"This is he?" The skinny man with eyes almost seemed to be close named Ye Xinya, the head of the Ye Group spoke, his tone gave off a laid-back tone but Suan Lung despised him because of his sly behavior.
"A green horn." Zhao Min the head of Wushin Group commented sourly, seeming unsatisfied by Wang Li Lei's handsome cold face.
"I think I've seen him before..." Tang Guanyu the head of Tang Group rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes at him and gave a surprised ah. "Are you possibly Wang Family's head, Wang Li Lei?"
"I am, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Wang Li Lei." Wang Li Lei introduced himself once again to receive a greeting nod from Ye Xinya and Tang Guanyu.
"So? This is the promising successor you said, Suan?" Zhao Min taunted.
"He is. What? Don't tell me you are jealous of his face?" Suan Lung saw Zhao Min's face darkened and smiled. "You may think he is a weed that had just lived for three days but for your information he lived with me for two years before robbing his place as the Wang Family's head."
The three faces turned to a surprise. They took another glance at Wang Li Lei's face and looked at each other.
"So this is the well-known Wang's Head who killed his uncle. The little boy that you raised on your own." Ye Xinya gave a fox-like smile.
Zhao Min clicked his tongue faintly. Wang Li Lei's name wasn't famous at the underworld but the title of Wang Family's head is more than famous. Wang Family had never directly involved with the underworld but their place at the underworld is deemed as prestigious.
The young head of Wang Family was said to be cold-blooded. He studied under Suan Lung directly only to kill his own uncle and become the rightful head of the family. His deed for being able to kill his own blood relative was deemed as a perfect example in the underworld. With his position, being Suan Lung's next successor was precisely perfect.
"I do understand what you came from, but he isn't a man from our world. Do you think he has what it take to strive? Our pride is deeper than the ocean Suan Lung. If he let us down, we will be the one to strike him down." Zhao Min uttered and felt a chill coming from the person beside Suan Lung.
Tang Guanyu and Ye Xinya froze their smiles. Their eyes stared at the dark storm forming upon the young man. The word strike down was like a switch to Wang Li Lei.
"You would see." Wang Li Lei's confidence brought a smile to his Shifu. The three words he spoke could be interpreted as confident words but also a threat. To Wang Li Lei, if they do dare to take a step toward him, he wouldn't let them off with their lives of limbs intact. To others outside the rounded table, they would take Wang Li Lei's words as nothing but arrogance and deemed him worthless like a dog who could only bark but not bite. Yet as people who had stayed in the underworld they knew just how hellish he sounded.
Now, he would stop playing nice. Let the hell let loose if it is for the sake of the girl.
When he decided to become Suan Lung's successor, he knew many people would come for him and Xiao Yun and it was time for him to use whatever he has to protect her.
"Alright, alright." Tang Guanyu raised his hand over the table and glanced over to Wang Li Lei gently. "I apologize for their rudeness, Mr. Wang. I do think you know where we are coming from. It is our responsibility as the big Three to make sure the peace in the underworld to be free from the harm of another Country. But even if they seem to oppose you, we aren't your enemy. And-" he glanced over to his two friends and scolded. "You two know that we have no single candidates for the next successor don't you?"

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
