My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 999: An Empty Celebration

Ghost was in disarray, his mind utterly chaotic, even feeling the urge to choke the life out of himself. A false report of Ye Fan’s death would have dire consequences. Should Deceitful Fox become dissatisfied, he would certainly suffer.

"Damn it, what was I thinking? Terminator, that is the Terminator! How could he just die so easily? Terminator has weathered countless storms. It was my arrogance, my hubris. As the saying goes, a crafty rabbit has three burrows. Even if there’s no escape route above ground at Wild Alliance Headquarters, there must be underground tunnels, for sure! It was the tunnels that allowed the escape."

"How could I be so stupid, so goddamn stupid,"

"I clearly confirmed it repeatedly; to be safe, I waited for so long and only after inquiring time and again with no news about Ye Fan did I ascertain Terminator’s death."

"Terminator must have gone into hiding, that’s why I couldn’t find out anything, it’s got to be that."

"Nami is all intact, with arms and legs alive—I’m no fool; obviously, Ye Fan is fine too."

"Ye Fan, you bastard, why won’t you just die? You’ve really screwed me over."

At this time, Ghost was at the airport, preparing to return with a victor’s posture to then bask in Deceitful Fox’s gratitude, and enjoy a life of glory and wealth. However, the live coverage on the TV screens was reporting Nami’s inaugural speech along with the overwhelming news of her succession as head, shaking Ghost’s composure to the core. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Damn it, still alive. How can it be? Go die, die, and then I’ll have the credit!" Ghost cursed wildly like. The anger within him was so intense that he felt like killing someone.

Ghost left the airport, just as the flight was about to take off, but he had no mind to leave now.

Finding a secluded spot, Ghost dialed Deceitful Fox’s contact number.

At the moment, in the castle, Deceitful Fox was humming a tune, holding his wine, constantly swaying his hips, hands swinging back and forth, his entire body shaking, expressing his joyful mood with exuberance.

"If I were Monkey King in Eastern mythology, then Ye Fan is the Tightening Spell atop my head, Tathagata Buddha’s Five Finger Mountain. Haha, hahahaha, now that Ye Fan is dead, my greatest threat is gone. I can sleep peacefully and play joyfully, no longer needing to worry about Ye Fan or doubt the loyalty of Fire Phoenix and Butcher; they’re very loyal after all."

"Life is such a joy, hahaha, I’ve never felt life this good."

Deceitful Fox’s cells radiated joy, filling the space around with an exuberant atmosphere.

"Life is a pleasure, one should indulge oneself; let not the golden goblet face the moon in vain. Huaxia culture is truly profound and expansive—I’m just fond of its profound essence," Deceitful Fox uttered while savoring his wine after receiving the report from Ghost about Terminator’s death, feeling a long-standing nightmare’s evaporation and unprecedented contentment.

"Sky Net, hahaha, I don’t have to be cautious anymore. If you dare bully me again, I’ll play you to death. I am Deceitful Fox, head of the God Organization, the sole ruler of the world, I will be the only one. Dreaming to replace my position, Sky Net, is mere fantasy, mere delusion." Deceitful Fox swayed left and right, cheerfully dancing to his own hummed tune.

"Terminator, aren’t you quite the invincible? Quite arrogant? Still dead, without a complete corpse. No matter how strong you are, you’re mortal in the end, fated to die. Playing with me? You’re not qualified, not qualified." Deceitful Fox was feeling grandiose.

The people around Deceitful Fox, men and women alike, stood like statues. They didn’t know why their leader was delighted like a clown, but all knew better than to show a shred of mockery.

Deceitful Fox’s private phone rang, but amidst his euphoria, he didn’t notice.

A female assistant, holding the phone, gingerly approached Deceitful Fox, saying, "Leader, Ghost is calling."

Ordinary calls didn’t require Deceitful Fox to answer personally, the assistants managed them; only important calls, especially Deceitful Fox’s private line, had to be reported regardless of the time, even if it meant risking punishment from Deceitful Fox. Failing to report would incur severe penalties.

"Ghost?!" Deceitful Fox was momentarily surprised, then with joy all over his face took the call, cheerfully saying, "Ghost, didn’t you just report? Did you leave Ba Country? Is there more news? Could there be good news? But no news could be as big as Terminator being dead."

A string of questions made Ghost’s heart race.

"This tone, this cadence, these words."

"This is the leader in his utmost pleasure."

"Some say killing and sex are the two greatest pleasures, without exception."

"But according to me, resolving the leader’s biggest threat is the greatest pleasure."

"If I now say Terminator isn’t dead, the leader will surely plummet from the peak of pleasure to the depths of despair."

"But I dare not lie, I can only speak the truth."

Ghost’s heart was in turmoil, devoid of any arrogance or defiance shown before Kasam, now extremely uneasy.

"Leader, here’s the situation: after Wild Alliance Headquarters was destroyed, there is likely a secret passage underneath the base. There’s a very high chance Terminator isn’t dead. I’m further investigating to confirm the truth of Ye Fan’s death, the report on Terminator’s demise might be false. It’s my incompetence, I deserve to die, leaving the leader to rejoice in vain." Ghost cautiously unfolded his intentions, didn’t dare start by saying Ye Fan wasn’t dead, fearful of causing Deceitful Fox extreme psychological swings.

After Ghost finished speaking, the other end of the call fell into an eerie silence, a deathly calm.

Deceitful Fox’s joyful euphoria vanished abruptly, instantly wilted, slumped, his head drooping, and sat on the ground, the wine glass in hand dropping and shattering.

He sat there, blankly dazed, clutching the phone tightly without letting it drop.

"Leader, Leader!" Ten seconds later, Ghost cautiously called out.

"Since you’ve said thus, it proves Ye Fan is still alive. Is it confirmed that he’s severely injured?" Deceitful Fox asked dejectedly.

"It’s unconfirmed, but I guess not even a scratch. Nami, alongside Ye Fan, has already been appointed as the new leader of Ba Country, Kasam is finished," Ghost replied truthfully.

"The loss of Ba Country as a pawn is just a loss, not important. Withdraw. Regarding Terminator, we must plan deeply and seize another chance to destroy him entirely, the chance is already missed now." Deceitful Fox was deeply dispirited.

"Understood!" Ghost responded timidly.
