I Became the Henchman of a Novel’s Villain

A slightly angry middle-aged man’s voice came from the other side of the phone: “Come to my study and see me, immediately!”

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Zhou to respond, he directly hung up the phone.

Should Bai Zhou go to Li Tai’s study? Of course, he should! That was the capital he relied on to “bully others with power!”

Bai Zhou also felt a kind of pleasure from “bullying others with power.”

This is a feeling that neither the protagonist nor the villain in novels could experience. Because, both the protagonist and the villain in novels are a type of resource. Once they take on these roles, they become the capital that others rely on to bully others. Others use their power to oppress people. Those who are oppressed will certainly resent the “power” that is relied upon!

So why not let these people become one’s own resources? He could go out and bully people while letting them take the blame.

Isn’t that wonderful?

He immediately took a taxi straight to the eastern shore of the Magic City*.

[*aka Shanghai]

Lushui Jiayuan Villa Complex.

It was the most famous seaside villa complex in the Magic City. As the head capitalist of the Magic City, Li Tai naturally lived in a place like this. Each standalone villa here was a distance of dozens of meters from each other, making it so that no one interferes with anyone else.

Outside the gate of Villa No. 2, two bodyguards in black suits, wearing black sunglasses even at night, stood guard like two stone lions.

Seeing Bai Zhou walking from the path, one of them directly opened the gate of the villa and said: “The boss is waiting for you in the study.”

Bai Zhou nodded without saying much and walked inside. Relying on his memory, he came to the outside of the study and knocked on the door.

A deep voice came from inside: “Enter!”

He pushed the door open. A wave of pressure that Bai Zhou had never felt before hit him. The huge study room was illuminated by only a dim desk lamp. Most of the room was engulfed in darkness, with only the desk visible. Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man about fifty years old, his face lined with distinct wrinkles.

He exuded a natural aura of authority without needing to show anger.

He was Li Tai! The biggest capitalist in the Magic City! He was even hailed as the “local emperor” of the Magic City!

At this moment, he was concentrating, holding an oily cloth, wiping a shiny dagger in his hand!

Yes, in this very environment, he was polishing his dagger.

In the darkness of the study, there were definitely other hidden bodyguards. Because as soon as Bai Zhou entered, he heard the sound of steady breathing.

Li Tai didn’t look up when he heard the door open. He pointed to the chair across from him with the tip of the knife and said: “Sit.”

Then he continued wiping his knife.

Bai Zhou took a deep breath. To say he wasn’t nervous would be a lie! Even though he was familiar with the plot and knew exactly what kind of person Li Tai was. Facing such a scene, he still felt at least a bit of apprehension out of respect for the original story.

Bai Zhou softly closed the study door and then walked step by step towards the chair Li Tai had indicated.

First, he said, “Boss!”

Then, he slowly sat down.

Just as Bai Zhou sat down, Li Tai spoke directly: “Are you teaching my son how to do things?”

When he said this, his tone was very calm, and his hand did not stop wiping the knife. But to an outsider, the threatening intent in his words was unmistakable!

If it weren’t Bai Zhou sitting in the seat in front of him, that person would have probably been so scared that they wet themselves.

They would have knelt on the ground begging for their life by now.

However, Bai Zhou understood Li Tai! He knew that what he did today had saved the Li family from a big headache! So, Li Tai’s current behavior was merely a way to give him a little warning.

Bai Zhou casually spread his hands and said: “I only know that since I took the boss’s money, I must help the boss solve problems.”

As soon as Bai Zhou finished speaking, Li Tai’s hand, which was wiping the knife, suddenly stopped. Slowly, along with his head, his eyes lifted, looking directly at Bai Zhou.

At that moment, Bai Zhou felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious tiger.

This made Bai Zhou inwardly exclaim: Tsk! No wonder he’s called the local emperor of the Magic City, this aura, impressive, impressive.

Li Tai just stared at Bai Zhou for a full thirty seconds.

Suddenly, he raised his hand. With a “swoosh”, a flash of white light cut through the dim lighting.

With a crisp “clang!” the dagger in Li Tai’s hand was firmly embedded in the table in front of Bai Zhou.

Faced with this sudden change, Bai Zhou did not flinch an inch!

The room fell into silence again.

But in Li Tai’s eyes, there was a flicker of surprise!

Another thirty seconds passed.

Li Tai turned to the darkness on the side and said: “You little brat, get over here!!”

Tap, tap, tap …  

A series of hurried footsteps could be heard. Soon, Li Yonggang appeared within the light’s reach.

At this point, Li Yonggang no longer had the anger or the viciousness that earlier made him look like he wanted to kill Bai Zhou. On his cheek was a clear red handprint. It was obvious that he had been slapped by Li Tai.

No matter how fierce a tiger Li Yonggang might be outside, in front of his father, he was just a little kitten!

Li Tai looked at Li Yonggang and angrily said: “Speak!”

Li Yonggang hurriedly turned to Bai Zhou and said: “Thank you, Bai Zhou … Brother Zhou, for saving me!”

As he spoke, he even tried to bow to Bai Zhou.

At that moment, Bai Zhou’s instincts flared!

He immediately stood up from his chair, sidestepped to intercept Li Yonggang’s bow, and then placed both hands on Li Yonggang’s shoulders and said: “Young Master, this is what I should do!”

Bai Zhou didn’t notice that Li Tai, sitting in his chair, slightly nodded in approval at his actions and words.
