The smile at the corner of Chen Kui's mouth widened a bit.
The surging hatred in his heart made him eager to act, but unfortunately, there were too many people around. He needed to take Ya Xiao to a place where there was no one before he could act.
Ya Xiao seemed unaware of Chen Kui's sinister intentions. He lowered his voice and whispered, "But what about Yan Chi from your base? He's also running for the position. Is it ok not to vote for him?"
Hearing this, Chen Kui looked towards Yan Chi and the others from the Fourth Base who were arguing not far away.
"It's fine."
Chen Kui wanted to win Ya Xiao's favor for his next action, so he naturally spared no effort in showing his friendliness:
"Yan Chi actually doesn't care about becoming a butler representative as long as it's not Bolton from the Fourth Base who becomes the butler representative."
These words happened to be heard by Yan Chi who was not far away. He and Bolton had just entered into a truce, usually ten minutes before continuing their fight.
Yan Chi walked over with a few butlers behind him, grinning at Ya Xiao, "Chen Kui wasn't wrong about that. I just can't stand to see that guy Bolton as the butler representative."
"The Fourth Base has been looking down on others day by day. As for Bolton becoming the representative of the border bases, he hasn't accomplished anything good. Over the years, the number of butlers at the border has decreased year by year. Isn't it all because he hasn't been able to seize the second-tier bases and the central city?"
The more Yan Chi said, the angrier he got, clenching his fists as if he wanted to directly go and teach Bolton a lesson with force. When he heard Chen Kui mention that Ya Xiao wanted to become the representative of the butlers, Yan Chi directly said:
"If you want to be the butler representative, I'll let my companions vote for you."
The Fifth Base's butlers were all built like military officers, and their tempers were as straightforward as ever. He just couldn't stand to see Bolton as the representative and didn't care who was in that position at all.
Moreover, the Fifth Base and the Sixth Base were on good terms, and there was nothing objectionable about them voting for Ya Xiao.
"Okay!"
Ya Xiao's blue eyes shone brightly as he directly answered.
Yan Chi was a little surprised to see this reaction from Ya Xiao.
In the past, he had said something similar to this to other butlers who wanted to compete for the representative.
It was just that those butlers either felt that they were insulting them, or they pushed back and grumbled, making it seem as if they were begging for it and that they might as well vote for themselves! Not even a tiny bit as refreshing as Ya Xiao.
"Then let's make a deal, when the time comes, we'll work together to bring down Bolton!"

The more Yan Chi looked at Ya Xiao, the better he felt, especially since the other party was also the butler of his employer's good friend. He proudly patted Ya Xiao's slender back and laughed loudly.

With these words, the truce ended immediately. Yan Chi rolled up his sleeves and turned around to lead his companions to continue firing away.
Ya Xiao curved his eyes at the sight.
[Fourth uncle, Yan Chi is so nice.]
[Yes.] The system was pleased that the host's expression was really not wrong this time.
Next to him, Chen Kui looked at the back of Yan Chi and the others and did not say anything for a long time. He came to the Fifth Base for eight years and had long since taken Yan Chi and the others as his family. If he could, he would like to continue to be with them.
But it could only be a thought.
Chen Kui smiled at Ya Xiao, "Yan Chi is just straightforward. If any of his words make you feel uncomfortable, just tell him directly and he'll change."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao nodded his head obediently, turning his head to continue watching the two bases arguing noisily.
Chen Kui's gaze moved away from Ya Xiao. When his line of sight collided with his companion Ert not far away, he nodded his head, coughed lightly, and his tone was a bit embarrassed, "Ya Xiao, can you accompany me to go to the restroom?"
"Okay, are you not feeling well?"
Ya Xiao heard this and looked at Chen Kui with concern.
"A little."
Chen Kui's lips turned white and cold sweat oozed out from his forehead, his hand covered his mouth as if he was holding back the discomfort of vomiting, "It's an old problem, I want to go to the restroom to tidy up a bit."
As long as they brought Ya Xiao into the restroom, they would be able to finish him off silently. A hint of viciousness quickly crossed Chen Kui's eyes.
"You wait first, I'll tell Emily."
The black-haired young man looked very worried about Chen Kui. Before he finished his words, he directly ran out. Chen Kui's heart thumped. No, just go to the restroom, what are you saying to other people?
However, before he could intercept the other party, the black-haired youth had already approached the woman. The woman's gaze locked onto Chen Kui, like a cheetah spotting its prey. Though she didn't show any intention of attacking, she still instilled a fear in him akin to a herbivore encountering a natural predator.
"You're going to the restroom?"
Emily scrutinized Chen Kui and then extended her arm to him, indicating for him to hold it. "Let's go, I'll accompany you," she said.
Chen Kui's expression became strained, and he forced a smile. "That's not quite appropriate, Miss. You can't come with me to the men's restroom."
Chen Kui emphasized the word "men" with a heavier tone.
"What are you talking about?"
Emily looked disgusted, "Of course, I'm not going in. I'm just in charge of getting you there."
Ya Xiao followed and added from the sidelines, "Emily doesn't feel comfortable with me accompanying you alone, so she's going to tag along."
"Is... is that so?"
Chen Kui looked at the two people in front of him, weakly curling his lips. Despite the rising agitation, he reassured himself that it wouldn't disrupt their plan even if there was an extra person.
They were going to do it inside the restroom. As long as this woman didn't go in, it wouldn't affect anything.
Ya Xiao walked on the other side of Chen Kui, holding onto his arm, and the tip of his tail flicked a bit.
[Fourth Uncle, Chen Kui is really lying to me.]
Lying about what?
The system was a bit puzzled. In the next second, it heard the host angrily say in his heart: [He really didn't want to vote for me!]
Ya Xiao lived in the demon realm, survived all the way through, and was the most sensitive to things like killing intent.
Chen Kui promised him that he would vote for Ya Xiao, but in reality, he still wanted to kill him. This kind of unkept promise made the demon very unhappy.
In fact, Ya Xiao still didn't quite understand why Chen Kui and his companions suddenly turned their target to himself when they were clearly hating Qin Qi, but that didn't stop him from getting angry.
The restroom of the meeting hall was on the second floor. After the three of them went up the stairs, Chen Kui noticed the figure of his companion, Ert, entering the restroom. He hid his excitement and anticipation for the success of his revenge. He outwardly covered his mouth and kept coughing, pretending to be even more serious.
Emily glanced at it and moved her eyes away.
Earlier, before they even reached the meeting hall, she reminded Ya Xiao to tell herself if he left the meeting hall. After all, they had just terminated a nest of assassins this morning, and the Fifth Base wasn't safe.
The only way to ensure the other's safety was to follow Ya Xiao at all times.
"I'll wait for you outside."
Emily said to Ya Xiao, "You send him in and come out right away."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao obediently nodded his head.
Chen Kui was not at ease in his heart.
It meant they had to kill him in one blow.
The young butler walked in with his newfound friend. Emily leaned against the wall and closed her eyes when suddenly, her optical brain vibrated.
In the next room to the border meeting room, Mist, who had heard the news, suddenly stood up, looking grave under his gold-framed glasses, "What did you say? There are also their people among the butlers of the Fifth Base?"
"Yes." The lieutenant who had just pried the information out of the group of assassins hurriedly responded, "Currently Adjutant Soren has already headed to the butler meeting hall."
"What about Emily's side? Has she been notified?"
"As soon as we learned of the news, we have already transmitted the identities of those two assassins to her!"
The moment she opened her optical brain, Emily's eyes narrowed. Viciousness and murderous intent swiftly crossed her eyes. She immediately drew out the short knife locked between her legs and rushed into the restroom.
Ten seconds.
Ya Xiao had already entered the restroom with the assassin accomplices who wanted to assassinate the marshal for more than ten seconds. If it was a professional assassin, it would take less than a second to solve the life of an unsuspecting person.
For a split second, countless miserable death scenarios of the young butler flashed through her mind. It seemed as if she could hear agonized breathing and cries for help in her ears.
Emily's heart thumped, anger burning like a blazing fire in her chest. The suffocating sensation left her gasping for breath for a moment as she quickly rushed in to attack the two assailants inside, only to stop moving abruptly at the sight of the scene in front of her.
The imagined image of the smiling dark-haired young man collapsing to the floor in a bloody heap didn't appear. Instead, there were two grown men sprawled out on the floor.
The dark-haired young man was crouched on the floor with his back to the door. He seemed to hear movement as he turned his head to look over, a black stun gun still crackling with electric sparks in his left hand.
"Emily, you can't come in here."
Ya Xiao reminded her seriously, "This is the men's restroom. For the girls, it's next door."
Emily: ......
I know, but can you explain what's going on with that stun gun you're holding?
