Shi Lei remained calm and said:

"No, I don't even feel anything."

With Exusiai, a party expert, around, they throw three to five parties every week. After attending so many parties, they don't get particularly excited anymore.

This year's annual meeting was just different in that we prepared a wider variety of dishes and had more people.

"Haha, that's good. I need to go inside to see someone, so I won't disturb your work any longer."

"Okay, sure."

After Beatrix left, Shi Lei exited the door between the inner and outer arenas and went to the window to look out. Everyone here was wearing shields, so there was no need to worry about accidents.

"Hey, so you've been here!"

Shi Lei turned around at the sound and saw Texas walking towards him.

Family members were allowed to attend this year's annual meeting, so he invited many neighbors.

Today she was wearing a fitted red shirt with black suspenders, the same style as Kunkun's. Her full, firm breasts swayed gently as Texas walked.

Perhaps knowing the venue was heated, she wore black striped shorts out of season. Her rounded buttocks outlined alluring curves. Her long, slightly fleshy legs weren't covered by stockings, but were boldly displayed. Her fair thighs, like the cream cake in Texas's hand, were incredibly appetizing.

Despite her casual attire, she exudes a mature charm. Her graceful steps are alluring and captivating.

Shi Lei faced the other person and calmly asked:

"What's wrong?"

Texas held up the tray and gestured:

"It's nothing, I just thought this cream cake was really delicious, so I cut off a piece so you could try it."

"My lord, so you've been here all along!"

Wearing a white Qipao, Mudrock Yan quickly approached, carrying a small plate of chocolate pastries.

"Working all day is so tiring. Please have something to eat."

"Here, have something to eat to fill your stomach."

Two women stood on either side of Shi Lei, each holding up a tray, wanting him to eat the food they had chosen.

"Will you eat mine, or hers?"

262 Don't you dare seduce my husband! (3K)

Texas lifted the tray, attempting to feed the animals:

"Will you eat mine, or his?"

Mudrock also picked up some snacks and brought them closer:

"Sir, please have this. It's delicious."

The male guests outside looked on with envy at the sight.

Even more youthful-looking guests were shaking their bodies as if they were going crazy, hoping to enjoy the same treatment as Shi Lei, being fed by two beautiful women.

Just as everyone was speculating whether the man would eat Lupo's cake or the Sarkaz dessert, Shi Lei, caught in the middle, calmly declined, saying:

"You guys just eat, don't worry about me."

"..."

Seeing Texas beside him about to feed him, he took a half step back. He raised his hand to block her, his attitude resolute.

"No, really, I'm still working."

Seeing that he actually rejected two beautiful women, the single male guests couldn't wait to take matters into their own hands, indulging in the allure of beauty and challenging their own vulnerabilities.

Damn it, you really deserve to die!

If I had wives like them, I'd be living the dream. Damn it, this man is utterly ungrateful. It's like the saying goes, "The rich get richer while the poor get poorer."

Seeing that Shi Lei wasn't touching any of them, Texas and Mudrock ate all the small cakes and pastries on the tray. They then placed the empty plates on the table next to them.

"Brother Shi!"

Accompanied by a slightly childlike shout, the attention of many male guests was drawn over.

A little girl named Wolper, wearing a dress and sporting Nine Tails, was waving and greeting people. Behind her stood two other beautiful women.

On the left, Sarkaz is dressed in red, exuding fiery passion. On the right, Casters is dressed in blue, with an icy expression that makes people hesitant to approach.

Surtr and FrostNova appear to be two extremes, both of which are irresistible to single guests.

Upon seeing Lisa arrive, Shi Lei smiled. He walked past the two women.

Behind them were ten Sarkaz mercenaries. Knowing that male Sarkaz were easily discriminated against in such situations, they consciously stood in the corner.

"Brother Shi!"

Once she hugged Shi Lei's leg, Lisa spread out her little hands, revealing a brown-wrapped chocolate candy:

"This is delicious, you should try it."

Shi Lei did not refuse and reached out to take it. He glanced down and quickly noticed the words "Liqueur Chocolate" on the wrapper.

He glanced back at Lisa's flushed face and immediately asked Surtr and FrostNova behind her:

"How much of this candy did she eat?"

"Probably thirty or forty, I think. They were taken from the area near the entrance of the venue. What's wrong?"

Shi Lei held up the wrapping paper and explained to the two of them:

"The Liqueur Chocolate contain a small amount of alcohol, Lisa is a minor and shouldn't eat them. Since she's already ingested them, we can't just make her vomit. You two should keep an eye on her and make sure Lisa doesn't touch these things."

Surtr and FrostNova were eating other things and didn't notice these details, so they quickly apologized:

"Sir, I'm so sorry! This was our oversight, we're truly sorry! From now on, we won't let Lisa touch any food containing alcohol!"

Seeing their fearful and apprehensive expressions, Shi Lei wondered if he had been too harsh just now, and comforted them:

"It's okay, it's okay now. Don't be too nervous or blame yourself, just be more careful next time."

"Yes, sir!"

Not long after the three left, a commotion suddenly arose inside.

"Stop! Stop fighting!"

"Stop fighting! Go outside and fight!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Lei immediately rushed towards the inner field. Texas and Mudrock followed closely behind.

As soon as he entered the venue, he saw two female relatives, who appeared to be senior executives of the Schwayer Group, grabbing and pulling at each other on the ground.

Because they were protected by Jade Shield, no matter how much noise they made, no one was harmed.

"You shameless little slut, you're not allowed to seduce my husband again! I'll beat you to death!"

"You specifically chose the company's annual meeting to bring this up, are you trying to ruin my reputation and embarrass me in public? Perfect, I also want everyone to know just how despicable your family is!"

"You little bastard, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Hmph, why don't you go back and ask your daughter what she's done? If she hadn't seduced my husband first, why would I have degraded myself like this? Besides, your husband isn't a good person either; he said he'd been eyeing me for a long time after just one meal."

Wow, that's impressive.

Such a melodramatic story is something even novels wouldn't dare write, lest they be criticized by readers. However, what happens in reality is far more melodramatic and fantastical than anything in fiction.

Shi Lei remembered a story about a boy abroad who was bullied at school. He then slept with their mother and even sued the perpetrator for being a minor, pushing the absurdity to the extreme.

We've gone off on a tangent.

As the only security personnel at the annual meeting, Shi Lei needed to stop this in time.

With a mere thought, he created strips of Rock Constructs to bind the waists of the two female guests. He then pulled them to the far left and right sides of the inner area and secured them there. In this way, the two were separated by...

Dozens of meters and a large crowd. Even if you shout at the top of your lungs, you'll quickly run out of energy.

The guests who witnessed this scene were amazed.

Apart from the senior executives of the Swire Group, the rest of the attendees were all invited members of the Lungmen elite. Witnessing Shi Lei's actions firsthand made them even more wary.

No way.

If someone has the power, they can do whatever they want.

Shortly after, Blake Suiya, the person in charge of this year's annual meeting, heard the commotion and came over to check.

Seeing that Shi Lei had easily resolved the issue in less than ten seconds, he grinned with satisfaction.

"Mister Zhongli, thank you so much for your trouble."

"No, it's my duty."

Adams Suiya, the founder of the Schwayer Group, was bedridden for many years, and Blake Suiya, as the second-in-command, was the real head of the group.

The car bomb incident that occurred six months ago left him with a huge psychological scar.

Neither the Lungmen nor international security teams could make Blake feel safe. Even if he was surrounded by heavily armed men, he would still die.

Only Shi Lei could bring him peace of mind:

"Mister Zhongli, I just had a discussion with some senior executives of the group. We plan to return to Victoria around March or April this year. Could you be our bodyguard at that time to protect my personal safety?"

The Schwayer Group was originally a large family business in Victoria. Later, for various reasons, most of its assets were relocated to Lungmen Yan. However, some businesses remained in Victoria.

"No problem, just contact Penguin Logistics in advance and deliver the orders as usual."

Missions like this, involving full escort, are considered large-scale commissions. Unless there are special circumstances, such as taking care of Lisa, Shi Lei will not accept private jobs.

Even though the company takes a cut of the money they receive, neither Shi Lei nor Emperor are people who care about money.

"Okay, the specific itinerary hasn't been finalized yet. If I decide to go in the future, I'll contact your company in advance. By the way, where's your boss?"

The Emperor had previously contacted Adams Suiya to expel Charlie's family from the national register. Schwayer was also a figure feared by many high-ranking executives within the Schwayer Group.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Blake, I don't know about that."

Shi Lei paused for a moment, then continued to explain:

"The boss knows I've taken on the security job here, so he sent Texas to pick me up. She took Exusiai and Croissant with her, without saying where she's going. If you need to contact her, just give her a call."

"No rush, I was just asking casually."

Blake's gaze passed over Shi Lei and landed on Texas behind him, as well as a stunning Sarkaz beauty in a white Qipao:

"Mister Zhongli, did you only bring these two family members today?"

Shi Lei shook his head slightly and answered truthfully, "There are also some very good friends. They're all outside."

"Is that so? Then let's just invite them inside; the food there is much more plentiful."

Blake Suiya isn't short of money; he said that to win the other party's favor.

"There's no need for that, Mr. Blake. The outer field and the inner field are the same; you don't need to worry about it."

"Oh, how is that the same? The ingredients in the inner area are more exquisite, and there are fewer people. Even if everyone eats to their heart's content, there will still be leftovers, which would be such a waste. Mister Zhongli, please stop refusing and invite your friends in."

Shi Lei thought about it and realized it made sense. He agreed and bowed in gratitude.

"Then we shall accept your kind offer. I thank Mr. Blake on their behalf for his generosity."

"Hahaha, we've collaborated so many times, there's no need for thanks, it's too formal. You go ahead and do your work, I have other things to take care of."

"OK."

After Blake left, Shi Lei returned to the inner field to search. Soon, he found Surtr, and the FrostNova two in front of a vermilion sofa.

Lisa had never drunk alcohol before, but dozens of Liqueur Chocolate made her cheeks flush. She looked so adorable that you couldn't help but want to pinch her cheeks.

Surtr and FrostNova immediately stood up as he approached, their attitude extremely respectful:

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Shi Lei pointed to a corner of the outer field, where several tall Sarkaz figures were standing:

"Call them over."
