Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1035: Chapter 1034: Roar

Shorty looked in fear as a layer of metal formed over Yanran’s hand, slowly turning into a claw-like weapon, its sharp tips approaching his eyeball.

Shorty desperately tilted his neck back, shouting loudly, ”I promise I will accomplish what you asked for! Please let me go, I will definitely do it!”

Yanran turned her head to look at her teacher, Jiang Cheng nodded, Yanran released her hand, and Shorty collapsed back to the ground.

”Teacher, there are troops outside encircling this place,” Ba Lvluo, responsible for the encampment, reported to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at the supreme leader of the Delmar Planet team.

”Teacher, there are a large number of troops outside, they have already surrounded this place,” Ba Lv reported to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng turned to look at the supreme leader of the Delmar Planet team lying on the ground.

The short and stout man barely got up: ”Let me, let me.”

In such a situation, he couldn’t let his superior speak, could he?

Rank crashed down on him, and only he, the second-in-command, could issue an order now.

He called over a subordinate, and to prevent Jiang Cheng and the others from becoming suspicious, he loudly said, ”You, immediately tell them that the chief and I are here discussing something very important with some friends, let them leave at once, and not disturb us.”

When he said this to his subordinate, he really did have the demeanor of a leader, and if you hadn’t seen him groveling in front of Jiang Cheng earlier, you might be fooled by his imposing presence now.

The subordinate glanced fearfully at Jiang Cheng, said nothing, but also did not leave; it was clear what he meant.

”Didn’t I tell you? We are in a discussion, about something very important, you must tell them immediately!”

Shorty was very angry, wishing he could kick this clueless subordinate of his hard several times.

How could such an idiot be among my people?

Can’t he see that he and the supreme leader were now captives of these three aliens?

Even with their troops outside, what use is it? Last time a battle was fought with many men, right? Tanks and fighter ships were used, weren’t they?

Yet he and the chief envoy at the time were easily captured by others?

What use are numbers anyway?!

They’re nothing but a bunch of useless fools!

Having sent away the unsympathetic subordinate, Shorty turned angrily, complaining to Jiang Cheng and the leader, ”Look, around us, all idiots like this, just like fools, no matter how you guide them on what to do, they don’t understand, needing reminder after reminder from you.”

He turned to Jiang Cheng: ”Tell me, with people like this, can you expect them to complete the task of settling refugees in a day?”

”I’m not boasting, before my chief came to power, if we’re talking about understanding subordinates, he indeed doesn’t know them as well as I do yet.”

His superior nodded repeatedly by his side, acknowledging what Shorty said.

The little unexpected incident had instead lightened the atmosphere a bit.

”Let’s continue our discussion,” said Qunzi, looking at his superior, ”I did a quick calculation earlier, and I think settling the refugees will take at least four days, this is the fastest I can think of, what do you think?”

His superior thought briefly and nodded: ”I estimate about that many days too, but since you said it takes four days, then I don’t think you’ll be off.”

The two turned their heads to look at Jiang Cheng.

”Alright, then as you said, four days,” Jiang Cheng’s cold eyes shot towards them, ”you set the date, and if I haven’t seen those refugees settled in four days, you better flee as far as possible, never let me catch you!”

Shorty and his superior nodded constantly, full of flattering words.

Saying things like they keep their promises.

Assuring him that they wouldn’t break their word.

Assuring him to trust them.

And so on.

Since matters here were concluded, Jiang Cheng, Yanran, and Ba Lv prepared to leave, and just as they were about to walk out the door, two more clueless subordinates blocked their way.

”Scram!” Shorty shouted at the top of his voice, having made up his mind that once this matter was resolved, no, starting tomorrow, he’ll replace all these subordinates.

As a smart person, he simply couldn’t tolerate such idiocy from his subordinates.

After following him for so long, and still no insight? Can these three people in front be casually stopped by these idiots?

The two subordinates sheepishly stepped aside, and Jiang Cheng and Yanran walked away.

Shorty stood by the upstairs window, watching their retreating figures with a gloomy gaze until their figures vanished from sight. Only then did Shorty let out a breath.

He picked up a teacup and smashed it hard against the wall, the cup shattered.

Unexpectedly, the shattering sound attracted their subordinates again, and they gathered around their superior to see if anything had happened again.

Shorty, like a madman, began hitting his subordinates incessantly, partly to vent the anger building up in his heart, partly because he was enraged by these stupid subordinates.

The subordinates remained motionless, standing there obediently, taking the blows and curses from their superior.

Eventually, Shorty grew tired of hitting, and his anger was spent. Finally, he waved his hand with a hoarse voice: ”Go down, don’t disturb us again,” suddenly he remembered something, called the subordinates who were about to leave: ”You, starting at 6:50 AM tomorrow, take a holiday, don’t worry, you’re not fired, it’s paid leave.” The few subordinates who just endured a beating couldn’t truly say they weren’t upset, maybe someone might curse him secretly, but hearing the superior now grant them a holiday, knowing it was compensation for the earlier beating, they were pleased, thinking the beating wasn’t in vain.

The highest leader of the group expressed admiration for his companion, saying: ”Impressive, very impressive, hitting and then rewarding afterwards, this way subordinates won’t hold resentment, they’ll be more loyal to you, brilliant, truly brilliant!”

Shorty let out a long sigh and didn’t respond to his superior.

”What? Still upset about earlier?” his superior asked.

Shorty said viciously: ”On the Delmar Planet, I commanded power over everything, now crushed under the heels of these three aliens, beaten and scolded at will, this indignity I cannot swallow!”

His superior looked at Shorty’s twisted expression, at the dark glint in his eyes, and shivered in his heart.

He knew Shorty’s vengeful nature only too well, and from past behavior his methods were ruthless, being humiliated under these three aliens like this was indeed a disgrace.
