The potbelly Cui Elder was getting crazy from the situation, over and over again his plans and his actions were being thwarted, and he hadn't been able to teach Cui Xie a lesson.

He had to make sure to teach Cui Xie a lesson, and the difference between their strength. Otherwise, his plan of using force to deal with this bastard nephew of his would be a bust.

The Patriarch and the family had given him the right to choose the best course of action to deal with this matter while giving him permission to use quite a bit of the family's resources.

While those things were precious, and especially the abolishment of the expel, and return to the family roots was probably the best condition, he still had wanted to close this deal through force.

In his thoughts, if he acted as the Patriarch had advised him, then Cui Xie might even have the idea of returning and fighting for the position of Young family Head of the Cui family.

There was no way he was going to allow something like that when his own son was in the line of descendants. So he had to make sure that he taught this kid his place.

Not only that, but he would also be able to keep for himself the resources that were promised to Cui Xie and give them to his son in order to help him further.

In his head, Cui Xie was just a bastard who didn't know how high of a mountain he was, and once he taught that to him, he would be able to pull Cui Xie by the nose.

He had never imagined that Cui Xie would actually stand strongly opposite him, and even say words like the ones he said.

Knowing the potential of the potions deal the potbelly Cui Elder couldn't help but be afraid of the future. Would the Patriarch and the family choose him, or the potential benefits and earnings?

To him it felt like a meaningless question, as his brothers and cousins were just like him, vultures waiting for an opportunity.

The moment this matter became public he would be thrown under the bus and most probably squished until he was dead.

"Colonel Cao this is a private matter of the Cui family, I would advise you to not meddle in things that might harm your interests!"

"Hahahahah~! Cui Feng, do you think I am afraid of you? Furthermore, I am afraid that this matter isn't as simple as you make it to be!"

"What do you mean?"

"I was ordered to be Cui Xie's guard from 'that' man! Cui Xie is now a Level 3 Important Official!"

"What~!? How is that even possible!?"

"Cui Feng I can only advise you to go back today. Unfortunately, you have shot yourself in the foot! Cui Family is already being notified of the change as well!"

"No, you are lying! This can't be!"

Before he could continue negating the news though, his Smartphone started ringing, and seeing the caller id his face went pale and purple.

Undaring to let the phone ring for long he picked up the call, and the more he heard the more he seemed to grow shocked, angry, and desperate.

"I-I am wor-working…"

"Cui Feng you better not have messed this up! Otherwise, you will be unable to face the consequences!"

With that insecure and frightened answer of the potbelly Cui Feng, a loud and booming voice came from the other side of the phone call, making the guy tremble in fear.

If he had actually tried to negate it until now or reject the thought, he was unable to do so anymore. He could only try to close the call by saying,

"Do-Don't worry I wi-will try my best!"

With that, he cut the phone call and turned to look towards Colonel Cao and Cui Xie. By this time even Elder Fu and Li Yao had stopped their fight.

Uncaring of the situation of the potbelly Cui Feng, young Chef Chen who had just been admiring whatever happened from the side, looked at Cui Xie and said in an urgent manner,

"Young Master Cui I am truly sorry to interrupt you like this, but the situation of Young Master Gao Jian doesn't afford me to waste time!

Can you please give me an answer?"

Colonel Cao was a bit displeased by the way he meddled as well but hearing his explanation he couldn't help but reconsider the situation, especially with Li Yao in the mix.

"What is the matter, Miss Yao?"

While he saw that young Chef Chen seemed to be the one negotiating, he only thought of him as a simple servant of the Gao family, so he decided to ask Li Yao.

Surprisingly he noticed that Li Yao seemed to be displeased with his actions, but she still answered,

"My nephew has been poisoned and Young Master Cui Xie has a precious herb that could save him, we are pleading for that herb!"

"With Young Master Cui Xie's kindness, I am sure that he will listen to your pleading!"

Pretending to not see the full situation, he tried to act as an intermediary in Li Yao's side. After all, the Cao family was one of the big families of the Capital and were the supporters of the Li family.

Their relationship was the same as that between the Cui and Ye family, entwined with many marriages.

His presence and his opinion were extremely heavy at this moment, as he was one of the protectors of Cui Xie. If Cui Xie displeased him, then he would be forced to confront the Cui family himself.

It would be easy to cover his disappearance if all the powerful Masters were on one side, after all. Colonel Cao could just say that he arrived late.

Cui Xie understood this easily, and even more, he understood that the reason why he had to hear this opinion now was due to him being weak. If he were stronger, he could have sent everyone to fu*ck off.

Well, with the exception of Eric, as he was his Master. Anyway, he had been waiting for something like this from the start, as he said,

"Certainly! While my relationship with Young Master Gao and the Gao family isn't the best, there are times when we need to join against the beasts trying to devour us!"

His words were a message and on top of that a warning for some people that might have some extra ideas.

And that warning was clearly effective, one look at the potbelly Cui Feng's face was enough to determine something like that.

But he didn't seem to care about that at the moment, as one of his generals appeared with the herb that was requested and presented it to Li Yao.

Li Yao didn't even extend her hands to receive the herb, as she said something that surprised almost everyone else in the room,

"I don't know how to take care of that herb, please give it to Master Chen!"

Her words were simple, but the meaning behind them was massive. She was calling a young man Master and telling him that he was more proficient in taking care of that herb, than her.

One had to know that Li Yao was a Miss from the direct line of descendants of the Li family. People she had to call Master and think that highly were as rare as phoenix's feathers.

Without losing time, young Chef Chen received the herb, and then bowing towards Cui Xie he said,

"Thank you Young Master Cui Xie for your generosity, this Chen will make sure to remember this and repay you in the future!"

Hearing those words, everyone would think that this young man was extremely arrogant and overboard, but after hearing Li Yao call him Master for some reason they felt it was reasonable.

Then he turned towards Li Yao and said,

"Miss Yao I think it would be discourteous of both of us running in this situation, so how about you stay behind and help Young Master Cui Xie deal with his guests and also explain the situation."

"But you…"

"Don't worry it will be easier for me to avoid the flies if I am by myself! I can promise to you that Young Master Gao Jian will be cured!"

"Very well then!"

This short exchange between the two shocked the crowd around them even more, as they couldn't help but wonder about the identity of this young man.

Just who was he?

"Sorry gentlemen, but I have something to deal with today! Hope to see you again some other time!"

Under the eyes of everyone though, young Chef Chen slightly bowed gave his regards, and then run out of the Mansion.

He was in a race against time now, as he had already lost too much time. He had to go and prepare the antidote for Young Master Gao Jian.

In fact, he already had the antidote, as he had already bought it from the system. These herbs were just so that he could play the part like he should and reach the effects he wanted.

Like this he had managed to patch up the problems between Cui Xie and the Li family, and also find a backer for the Cui siblings.

Just like he said, by himself, it was much simpler and easier for him to avoid all the flies and other insects searching for him, as he reached the Gao Mansion in record time.

To make the situation a bit more beneficiary he had even enacted a few injuries due to his 'difficult' escapes, as he entered inside Young Master Gao's room in tatters and covered in blood…
