Great! I'm surrounded by villains!

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Grand Entrance

Mr. Mingyuan is omnipotent.

Jiuyue once again solidified her belief, which was an assessment even higher than "strongest" or "invincible" because, while others were still using their abilities as weapons to fight to the death, Duan Mingyuan had already stepped out of the whirlpool of strife, becoming a transcendental tailor.

She was serious.

She believed that if Mr. Mingyuan were to enter the tailoring industry, he would surely become a top-notch expert.

Jiuyue wore the white OL uniform with a blue-gray skirt that they had chosen together, which was very form-fitting and outlined her perfect curves, yet it did not pinch her tail at all.

Her tail could hang down naturally, and when it swayed, there was no discomfort from being scraped by the socks or the skirt hem.

Early that morning, she and Duan Mingyuan stepped out of the house.

Breakfast was "Jiuyue’s Special Loving Salad," made with fresh vegetables and boiled eggs cooked just right, which could keep one spirited throughout the day.

For the people of Yunlong City, this morning was different from the past.

The head of Universe Company’s Life Evaluation Department, Mr. Ogulite-Gilvenia-Gramhan, was scheduled to visit Yunlong City. In order for the people of this planet to remember his name, Mr. Ogulite very down-to-earthly chose "Bai Kou" as his common name on this planet.

The names of extraterrestrials were always full of creativity.

Duan Mingyuan had specially looked through reports on the study of extraterrestrial names. These long and complex names were the result of transliteration. Written in the "Interstellar Common Language," they were even more obscure and difficult to understand. Names like Fu Ling and Ling Long were pseudonyms taken by extraterrestrials after arriving here.

Yang Ping had complained that in recent years Interstellar Common Language had become a new subject in high school. Not only did they have to start from scratch, but the exam content was also incredibly difficult. Extraterrestrial students had a natural advantage in this area. Thankfully, they had only one extraterrestrial classmate, Ling Long, who was also perennially at the top of the class, always scoring more than twenty points higher than the second place, so it didn’t actually affect their grade rankings.

Regarding the soon-to-arrive Mr. Bai Kou, the internet was filled with tales of him.

Above all, his wealth was the most eye-catching. Having become the head of the parent company, his wealth was unimaginable.

Even Duan Mingyuan was greatly shocked in his heart.

His understanding of the wealthy was still at the stage of owning several properties and the amount of savings in bank accounts. But it was said that Mr. Bai Kou owned his own interstellar flagship, which was rumored to be as massive as Yunlong City itself.

This meant that the flagship could accommodate at least three million people.

For executives of such caliber, Universe Company provided them with professional security personnel. His personal bodyguards were said to be famous across star systems. Some people even said that if Mr. Bai Kou experienced any mishap in Yunlong City, the company’s battleships might very well fire upon the city, with firepower that could destroy the entire city in an instant.

These were all pieces of information provided by enthusiastic netizens online; their veracity was unclear. Duan Mingyuan was not very familiar with interstellar matters and accepted their word as truth.

However, this astronomical level of combat power was also creating immense pressure for him. He had just finished an academic discussion with a senior level elder, and now a galactic level powerhouse was visiting Yunlong City. The gap between the new generation and them was like a small bandit king from the first episode stumbling into the battlefield of a grand war at the summit, possibly leaving without even a proper close-up before meeting their end.

Their current plan was to have Yang Ping stay in school to study hard, while Tang Qianqian would make full use of her excellent social skills to infiltrate the Universe Company’s mid-to-low level departments in Yunlong City.

Duan Mingyuan guessed that there was more than just the Night Disaster lurking in the shadows this time.

In Yunlong City, there were still quite a number of low-level evil spirits that followed the Night Disaster’s lead. Once warfare started, these evil spirits would inevitably cause considerable disturbance.

Tang Qianqian had proven during the Congyun Hotel incident that she was not adept at combat, but she was an outstanding intelligence officer.

"Beep, your identity has been recognized, no dangerous objects... Good morning, Mr. Duan Mingyuan, please proceed directly to the 175th floor."

The entrance’s blue light swept over his body, followed by the synthetic female voice.

Both he and Jiuyue wore the temporary employee badges that Fu Ling had given them the day before, and mentioned that Mr. Bai Kou could be considered her superior, outranking her by three levels in the company, and was also a difficult person to get along with, so they should be prepared.

The 175th floor was the branch’s top floor, and according to the schedule Fu Ling had sent, in another fifteen minutes, the flying vehicle carrying Bai Kou would land at the top-level landing pad, and they had to complete the docking on time, as being late was a major taboo in the company.

As special operatives hired by the company, they did not need to take the lead, as the company had prepared a private lounge next to the meeting room for them, equipped with snacks and massage chairs; during the meeting, they could take a break in the lounge.

Overall, it was a rather leisurely task.

Tang Qianqian had even offered a positive outlook during the planning phase—if Wangxu and Night Disaster were directly blown apart by Mr. Bai Kou’s personal security detail, they could get their commission without doing anything.

She was very optimistic about this.

As the internet said, someone of Bai Kou’s stature always came with a galactic-level security force, which was truly overkill for dealing with the mere criminal organizations of Yunlong City.

Taking the express elevator all the way up, the electronic display showed 175, and as the doors opened, the landing pad was already full of people.

Uniform heavy alloy armor, faces completely obscured by helmets, holding company mass-produced energy weapons, the logo consisting of five planets on their armors indicating they were members of the security department.

Fu Ling was at the very front of the team, making arrangements; upon seeing them, she merely gave a nod of acknowledgment and continued focusing on the preparations before Bai Kou’s arrival.

Jiuyue found a spot with backlighting, raised her hands to shield her head and looked up into the clouds.

After a short while, she asked, "Mr. Mingyuan, have you ever seen the sight of a flying vehicle landing?"

"I’ve seen it in videos."

"Doesn’t your company also get visits from Extraterrestrials for inspections? Haven’t you gone to greet them?"

"We’re not in charge of that; it’s always the management."

In the company, ordinary employees usually could only catch a glimpse of a figure passing by surrounded by a crowd.

In order not to mess up the welcome ceremony, Duan Mingyuan had specifically watched some footage of flying vehicles landing online yesterday, so he wouldn’t seem like a yokel when the time came.

He was accepting this commission on behalf of his organization’s image, after all.

"I haven’t seen it yet."

Swishing her tail, Jiuyue’s gaze never left the sky, until a black object began to appear faintly in view.

Seeing this, her excitement grew as she pointed to the rapidly falling flying vehicle and said, "Mr. Mingyuan, do the flying vehicles you see smoke?"

"No, they don’t."

"Then... Do they catch fire at the rear?"

"No, they don’t either."

Finally sensing something was amiss, Jiuyue turned her face, blinking her big innocent eyes at him and muttered, "Eh?"

Looking at the security department stirring up because of this sudden incident, Duan Mingyuan suddenly felt that his preparatory work was missing a link.

For example, he had forgotten to look up what to do in case his employer crash-landed at their first meeting.
