Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Muah Muah, I love you

Han Zhan tossed the plasma grenade into one of the men’s hands, a playful grin dancing across his face. He slung his plasma gun over his shoulder, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Don’t try anything stupid, and we will let you live," he warned, his voice steady

Suddenly, a figure descended from above, landing with a soft thud on the cold concrete. His presence was commanding, his aura more imposing than that of the other men. It was Han Xin.

Han Xin scanned the scene before him. The employees knelt on the ground, terror etched on their faces. Most were thin, their bodies gaunt as if starved. A few looked healthier, but all bore bruises, evidence of recent beatings.

His heart tightened as he noticed the prisoner collars around their necks. These devices were meant for the most dangerous criminals in military prisons. The Raunet family had supplied these collars, not for the worst of society, but to keep their employees from escaping. It was inhumane.

Han Zhan caught the shift in Han Xin’s expression. "The management has changed," he said, his tone light yet serious. He patted Han Xin’s shoulder, a gesture of camaraderie. "This is your new boss," he added, glancing at the trembling workers. "Well, for those who want to stay."

One of the men, tapped his communicator. A floating screen flickered to life in front of him. He tapped it a few times, and everyone held their breath. The prisoner collars around their necks clicked, then fell to the ground with a dull thud. For a moment, silence reigned as they processed what had happened. The fear in their eyes shifted to confusion and surprise. They looked at each other, hope mingling with disbelief.

Han Zhan continued to say, "We will compensate you for the years you have worked here," his voice steady and clear. For those who want to leave, you can. We will arrange for you to return home, wherever that may be." He paused, letting the words sink in, then added, "And for those who wish to stay, you are more than welcome."

Han Xin, standing to the side, turned to Han Zhan. "Get them checked by a doctor," he said firmly.

"Okay," Han Zhan replied, his mind already racing with excitement. He walked away, eager to call his husband and share the news.

Meanwhile, Little Bai was engaged in conversation with some students at the medical academy. He was animatedly sharing insights from his recent talk when his communicator buzzed. Excusing himself with a polite smile, he stepped aside to answer.

"You better be dying if you are calling me," he said playfully, "If you are calling to flirt, you will be blocked." Little Bai had made it clear to Han Zhan that he should only call during work hours for emergencies. Han Zhan, however, had a different agenda.

"Baby," Han Zhan’s voice came through, smooth and teasing. "Am I such a person to you?"

Little Bai smirked. "Yes," he replied, enjoying the banter. Han Zhan fell silent for a moment, caught off guard. Then he shifted gears. "This time, I am calling about something important. Come to this location."

From his spot, Han Xin could hear every word. He rolled his eyes as Han Zhan added a playful, "Muah muah, I love you, can’t wait to see you." The contrast was striking. Han Zhan, a big man built like a barbarian, was making kissing sounds at his communicator.

The employees, just beginning to rise from where they had been kneeling, exchanged bewildered glances. They couldn’t see Han Zhan’s expression behind his mask, but they could tell he was grinning like a fool.

"What?" Han Zhan exclaimed, noticing their stares. "I love my hubby."
