AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 79
by VolareAlso, on many previous occasions, Ruan Xi was able to produce many things and evidence that did not match his status and skills.
All of this made Ruan Tang feel puzzled and unable to understand.
His intuition told him that Ruan Xi must be hiding something suspicious, but he just couldn’t figure it out for the time being.
“Anything else? What else does he plan to do? Now that he has such a big handle on me, he wouldn’t just want to post this scandal on the internet, would he?” Ruan Tang chuckled slightly, regaining his senses.
Knowing Ruan Xi as he did, he didn’t think Ruan Xi would only start with the internet after finally catching an opportunity to punish him.
The subordinate paused for a moment and reported truthfully, “These days, he has been inquiring about various important events and gatherings that you and the Duke might attend, and he has been trying to contact the noble ladies who organize those events, wanting to obtain qualifications to enter the venues.”
If he hadn’t exhausted all other options, Ruan Xi certainly wouldn’t have taken the step of stirring up trouble on the internet so quickly…
“Oh? And then?” Ruan Tang asked with interest.
The subordinate immediately said, “What else is there? Your current status and position are well-known in Imperial Star. Those noble ladies are all shrewd individuals. They know he’s at odds with you, and even suspect that his wanting to obtain qualifications to enter the event venue might be to oppose you. In addition, there’s the Duke’s previous warning. They would be doing well to just chase him out, let alone pay any attention to him.”
This is the benefit of having power in Imperial Star. If Ruan Tang had nothing, and Ruan Xi wanted to provoke him, even if people knew in advance, none of those idle nobles who love gossip would tell him. They would only happily eat their melon seeds and wait for the show to begin.
Especially since the so-called handle Ruan Xi caught was related to his ‘cheating’, those people would be even more excited, gleefully waiting to see how unlucky Ruan Tang could be.
But now, Ruan Tang is not only Auston’s most beloved husband, but also the head of the Ruan Family Estate—
The most beloved younger brother of the Empire’s promising Lieutenant General Ruan Yang, everything is different.
If Ruan Xi wants to harm him, publicize his private scandals, not only will no one help Ruan Xi or wait to watch the show, but they will also be afraid of getting into trouble and being implicated in this matter. They will help Ruan Tang suppress the matter, not allowing these secrets to be exposed to the public, in order to curry favor with Ruan Tang.
“They are indeed all shrewd individuals. Ruan Xi is really no match for them,” Ruan Tang’s eyes curved, his tone was indifferent, but he had to admit this point.
It was only after he gained power that he realized that having enough power and status in Imperial Star could indeed turn black into white.
Just like him, when he had nothing in the past, he could be slandered by Ruan Xi even if he did nothing wrong, and be condemned by everyone, his reputation completely ruined. But now that he has power and influence, even if he really ‘cheated’, there would be people to help him suppress the matter, not expose it to the public, and maintain his reputation.
The subordinate asked worriedly, “Chairman, what exactly do we do next…”
Although the matter can be suppressed, it still requires exchanging some resources with other forces and paying a price to hide it from the Duke.
Seeing Ruan Tang’s unhurried appearance, he was almost getting anxious.
He really had to admire Ruan Tang’s calmness at this time.
You know, his husband is not an easy target to manipulate, but the famous madman, Bluebeard Duke, in Imperial Star.
Even with Ruan Tang’s current status, Auston can’t do anything to him, but if things get out of hand, it would still be a scandal.
“…We won’t do anything in the next step.” Ruan Tang was still as calm as ever.
The subordinate immediately looked at him in surprise, “Do nothing?”
He almost thought he was hallucinating.
“Yes, do nothing. Not only do we do nothing, but no matter what Ruan Xi wants to do, we shouldn’t stop him. We should even help him succeed.” Ruan Tang slightly curled his lips, but laughed, “I want to see how much trouble he can make out of this matter in Imperial Star.”
He was worried about how to push Auston further and break through this layer of window paper, but Ruan Xi actually sent him a pillow when he was sleepy, bringing him such a timely rain.
Since he took the initiative to come to his door to help him, why should he stop him?
Auston’s disguise has been kept for so long, it’s time for it to fall off.
“…Yes, Chairman.” Although the subordinate didn’t understand Ruan Tang’s purpose, he still dutifully responded and obediently followed Ruan Tang’s instructions to carry out the order.
…
Ruan Xi was trembling with anger while smashing his keyboard because his video couldn’t be posted online, and even his account was malfunctioning and couldn’t be logged in.
Unexpectedly, just then, he received a call from the hostess of a banquet that Ruan Tang and Auston were said to be attending. The other party agreed to give Ruan Xi the qualification to attend this banquet, and decided to join forces with Ruan Xi to deal with Ruan Tang, embarrass Ruan Tang at this banquet, and expose his true face in public.
Ruan Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately threw the optical brain aside and chatted enthusiastically with the other party, “Really? That’s great, thank you so much, Madam.”
He knew that there must be people who didn’t like Ruan Tang and wanted to deal with him.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Heaven never bars one’s road, didn’t he just find a friend?
But what Ruan Xi didn’t know was that at the same time that he hung up the phone, Ruan Tang received news from his friend and tried his best to persuade Auston, who had no intention of attending this banquet, to attend this banquet.
“Sir, I don’t know what you’re thinking? You haven’t given me a reply for so many days, but we are still partners in name, aren’t we? We haven’t attended public events in Imperial Star together for a long time, and many people around us have speculated about our marital relationship. There’s a banquet tomorrow that’s very important to my work as the chairman of the OMEGA Protection Association. No matter what, even if I’m begging you, I really hope you can attend this banquet with me…”
Ruan Tang typed a long message to Auston, who hadn’t shown up for several days.
Auston was in a mess, and didn’t know how to deal with his current relationship with Ruan Tang, and didn’t dare to see Ruan Tang. But after seeing that Ruan Tang even used the word “beg” in his message, he thought for a long time, took a deep breath, and still replied, “Okay.”
He hadn’t seen Ruan Tang for several days, whether it was as Seth or as the Duke…
He can’t always hide from Ruan Tang forever.
…
The banquet was held in a famous star hotel in Imperial Star, scheduled to start around seven o’clock in the evening.
Auston and Ruan Tang, who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, gathered at home around six thirty and took the hover car to the scene on time.
“…Sir, long time no see.” Because he had just proposed a divorce, Ruan Tang was no longer as enthusiastic towards Auston as he used to be. He just greeted him coldly.
Auston felt uncomfortable seeing his cold and estranged appearance, feeling unspeakable pain and bitterness. But he hid all his emotions under his mask, and only replied to Ruan Tang, even more coldly than him, “Yeah.”
He really didn’t know what this OMEGA was thinking. He was pestering him non-stop some time ago, so clingy, calling him “I love you” all the time. Now that he signed the divorce agreement, he started to ignore him and pretend to be unfamiliar. He was simply turning his face faster than flipping a book!
You know, he hasn’t signed that divorce agreement yet!
This OMEGA still belongs to him in the legal sense, can’t he be a little more aware? Have a little professional ethics?
Auston felt extremely wronged, but he still remained calm on the surface.
The two were speechless and arrived at the banquet venue in silence.
The banquet hall was full of flowers and splendor, and all the people who came were famous figures in Imperial Star, either rich or noble.
Ordinary people can’t even get an invitation.
At the same time, Ruan Xi, who had mixed into the crowd, was also ready. He turned on his portable camera and decided to give Ruan Tang a fatal blow at this banquet.
After reaching a cooperation with Mrs. Margaret, he immediately changed his plan and stopped continuing to post Ruan Tang’s cheating video on the internet.
Instead, he resold hot searches today and began to broadcast Ruan Tang’s ugly state to the people of the entire Empire.
Thinking of the ugly state Ruan Tang would be in later, Ruan Xi sarcastically twitched the corners of his mouth and began to film the banquet scene.
Ruan Tang struggled to play the Duke and his wife, who were seemingly in harmony but actually estranged, just waiting for Ruan Xi to strike.
Auston looked at Ruan Tang’s lukewarm attitude and cold face, and immediately put on an even colder face than Ruan Tang, simply keeping strangers away.
At this moment, on the first hot search on Interstellar Net, Ruan Xi’s live broadcast of the banquet scene suddenly landed—
The netizens on the entire Interstellar Net looked at the live broadcast room that suddenly landed on the hot search with a dazed expression, not knowing why, but after clicking into the live broadcast, they saw many celebrities and dignitaries at the banquet scene. They thought it was some kind of alternative publicity live broadcast by the government, so they clicked in to watch.
“Ahhh! Is that Reger? He’s so handsome in person!”
“That’s Mrs. Cindy, my idol!”
“I don’t know what theme this publicity live broadcast that suddenly landed on the hot search wants to explain, but I’ve never seen such a banquet. So this is what a noble banquet looks like? It feels so formal and extravagant, just like what I saw in TV series, no, no, it’s even more luxurious…”
“I’ve never seen such a banquet scene. I came in to broaden my horizons. Poverty limits my imagination.”
“Eh? Is that Ruan Tang? I like him. After he became the chairman of the OMEGA Protection Association, he proposed a lot of policies, fought for a lot of benefits for us OMEGAs, and did a lot of practical things, making the Empire’s OMEGA protection laws more perfect.”
“Oh my god, Ruan Tang is so good-looking, so good-looking. I’m madly licking his prosperous beauty. He’s truly the number one beauty in Imperial Star… The scenes scanned by the live broadcast are so good-looking.”
…
The banquet scene, which gathered countless celebrities, attracted countless people to watch.
Ruan Tang was completely unaware of this. In the preparatory stage of divorce, he had been with Auston at this banquet, but he hadn’t said a few words at all.
Seeing that the number of people in his live broadcast room was constantly soaring, Ruan Xi felt that there were almost enough people.
He immediately rushed to Auston and Ruan Tang regardless of his safety, and blocked their way: “Duke Auston, please wait, I have something to say to you!”
He must let this arrogant madman know that he has been cheated on long ago.
Auston was already feeling uneasy and uncomfortable because of Ruan Tang’s cold attitude. He didn’t expect to encounter such an annoying thing at this banquet, and immediately felt extremely disappointed. His face sank, and he said grimly: “What’s going on? Who let this thing in? Didn’t I say that I don’t allow him to be seen in any occasions where I appear in Imperial Star in the future?”
His sudden anger startled everyone present, but no one dared to respond.
“Why isn’t anyone coming to throw him out?” Auston’s tone was icy cold.
The security guards at the banquet immediately stepped forward.
“Duke Auston!” Before they could get close, Ruan Xi had already said righteously: “You can’t throw me out.”
He raised his voice and shouted to Auston and everyone: “I’m here today to save you, not to let you continue to be deceived! Do you know what your OMEGA is? Do you know what he has been doing secretly behind your back? Do you know that he has already betrayed you and cheated on you?”
