Chapter 767: Fearing For His Life
"By the way, how long will I be staying with the Qi Family?" Yuan asked the Manager before she left.
"You can leave whenever you want," she said to him as she walked away.
That night, Chu Liuxiang asked him, "You'll be visiting my Master's family tomorrow, right? Can I come with you?"
"The Mountain Lord said that I should go alone since the Qi Family doesn't like guests." Yuan said.
"I see… How long will you be gone for?"
"I'm not sure, but I will try to come back as soon as possible."
"Stay safe out there."
"The only one I need to be wary of is your master. I hope she doesn't hold a grudge after because I left her sealed." Yuan sighed.
"Master may be arrogant and a little hot-headed, she's not an unreasonable person. If you speak with her, I'm sure she'll forgive you."
"I hope so."
"Good night, darling."
"Good night."
The following morning, Yuan met up with the Manager, who was waiting at the front of his building in a luxurious red car.
"Get in the back," she said to him.
Once Yuan was in the car, the Manager took off and began driving down the mountain.
However, the speed she was descending the mountain at was a little unnatural— unnaturally fast.
Yuan quickly realized that the Manager was a reckless driver who would drift at even the slightest curve in the road, and she was basically speeding down the mountain at a ridiculous speed.
Yuan has never really feared for his life outside of Cultivation Online, but riding in the same car as the Manager made him feel insecure about his safety, and he worried that they might die at any moment.
Once they left the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Yuan expected the Manager to slow down, but alas, she only sped up.
"S-Shouldn't you slow down a little?" Yuan could no longer stay silent and said to her.
"Why?" The Manager said, dumbfounding him.
"Why…? It's dangerous to be going this fast, not to mention illegal…"
"We'll be fine." The Manager said in a nonchalant manner before increasing the speed by ten more miles.
By now, they were going at least 140 miles per hour, and Yuan was prepared to jump out of the car at any moment.
After a few minutes of this madness, Yuan could hear the sound of police sirens blaring from behind them.
However, instead of stopping for the police, the Manager actually increased the speed!
'She's crazy!' Yuan cried inwardly. He never expected the Manager to be such a lunatic, and he swore to himself that he would never sit in a car with her ever again as long as she was behind the wheels.
The police sirens only got louder as more and more police cars appeared behind them, yet the car continued to zoom forward.
Eventually, they arrived at a spacious lot that had a dozen airplanes and even private jets stationed.
Once they arrived before a specific red jet, the Manager finally stopped the car.
The moment their car stopped, the police cars that had been chasing them immediately surrounded the car.
"Get out of the vehicle with your hands up!" One of the policemen shouted with a megaphone right in front of his mouth.
"What now?" Yuan asked.
The Manager didn't respond to him and took out her own megaphone before speaking into it with a tranquil voice, "Why don't you idiots run the license already and get out of my way?"
When the police heard her words, they immediately ran her car's license plate through their system.
Once the results came in, the entire place turned dead silent.
Yuan could see the police mumbling to each other, but he couldn't hear their words.
A few minutes later, the policeman with the megaphone spoke again, but he sounded more respectful this time, "There has been a misunderstanding. Please forgive us. We'll leave you alone right now."
"W-What?" Yuan was baffled by the polices' confusing response.
He thought they were only playing along for the heck of it, but sure enough, the police returned to their cars before driving away as though nothing had happened.
"This is the influence of the Dragon Spiral Mountain, and as long as you live within the mountain, you represent us. Never forget this." The Manager suddenly said to him.
"You caused all of this chaos just to prove this point?" Yuan was utterly speechless.
"No, this is how I normally drive."
The Manager then got out of the car and said to him, "Let's go."
Yuan immediately frowned when he saw the Manager walking towards the jet before them.
"Don't tell me you're going to drive this plane as well?" He asked her while silently hoping that was not the case.
"No, I am not."
Yuan sighed a breath of relief after hearing her words, but he almost choked on air after hearing her next sentence.
"You're going to be the one driving it."
"You want a blind man with no experience to drive a plane? Is this some kind of punishment you're giving me because of what I did to the Chu Family?" Yuan had a feeling that she was making things difficult for him on purpose as a way to punish him.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. As for driving the plane, even a 10-year-old can do it. Hurry up and get on the plane already. We're going to be late at this rate." The Manager said as she entered the plane.
"What about your car?"
"Just leave it there. Somebody will take care of it later," she said.
Once they were both inside the plane, the Manager shut the door and led him to the cockpit.
She pointed at the obvious red button and said, "Just press that button and the plane will enter auto-pilot. I am going to sleep, so you're going to watch the plane. Don't press anything else unless you want to crash the plane."
And without explaining anything else, the Manager went to one of the rooms in the back to sleep, leaving Yuan alone and dumbfounded in the cockpit.
