My CEO Harem Cultivation System

It was in good faith that the Guang Airlines would share to the media where Li Yang's first destination was that led the paparazzi to not immediately follow after the vehicle. 

There was also the fact that these people were actually afraid of what might occur if they were to upset one of the members of the Li Family that led them to only speculate of his decisions.

So the driver was shocked when they actually arrived at a literal dump.

Even if the CEO wanted to keep the eyes of the people away from him--this was still a terrible decision that might affect his reputation, or even his safety if matters were to turn to the worse. 

"Are you alright, sir? Is this where you'd really like to be dropped off?" The driver looked at the sharply dressed CEO in shock. The man couldn't even hide the fact that he thought that Li Yang was missing a few screws.

Li Yang had options to go to, not necessarily the company alone.

So why here?

The man in question only nodded at the driver.. "Yes, I'll be fine here. Do not worry about me and drive safely back to the airlines. The traffic is starting to congest again."

"But… I am afraid that you might get mugged, sir."

The limousine was currently parked in one of the inconspicuous and dark alleyways of the city. Though eye-catching it might have been to some people on the road, it didn't matter to the driver.

The scary part was that they exactly parked in an alleyway filled with unsavory and low-life people that could put the man at risk. The limousine was even starting to gain attention from a couple of what appeared to be gangsters and delinquents loitering out in the streets of Shanghai.

"You don't have to worry about that at all." Li Yang assured the driver to leave.

These people closeby were eyeing the vehicle with such interest and the driver was afraid that they'd start attacking the limousine simply because it looked good. Or… they started taking pictures of it with them included in the photo.

Of course, there was the man too.

But whatever these punks did to the limousine, the airline company would have the driver's head if anything were to happen. And thus, although the driver hesitated, he then agreed to leave if the man kept insisting that he wanted to be the target of a robbery in broad daylight.

If there was anything that the driver thought was to be learned, it was to stop questioning extremely wealthy and zany people. 

The rich people's lives were in their hands, and it didn't do the driver any good to worry about a man who probably earned in a day what the driver earned in a year.

The driver raised his cap politely. "Please have a good day, Mister Li. Thank you for flying with our company's airlines."

While he was worried about Li Yang—the driver could easily say that he was just doing his job and listened to the man's orders. The driver didn't need to do anything else and soon left much to the disappointment of the people still bumming in the streets.

Once the driver was gone, Li Yang started stepping out of the area.

This literal alleyway wasn't Li Yang's actual destination at all and any ordinary man could have guessed that this was simply to hide the true location away from the eyes of those who were interested in knowing where he was going.

At least from those who were on earth.

The ones in the Heavens were already back and commenting about his location. Some of the Observers had even started communicating directly, possibly choosing to do so after Peach bought the VIP Observer role. 

Or maybe it had to do with the Goddess Aurora actually making direct contact with Li Yang that made them pay up. Regardless, the Observers in the Heavens wanted to ensure and prove that they were actively looking down at him and watching his every move.

Li Yang already leaving before was something they heavily disliked and antagonized Bao over for.

The One Who Slaughters: Hah! Did you come here to murder those nobodies out from existence? A first blood at his return is a nice celebration of his return 

Sea Foam: Just get out of here and head to your destination. I'm reminded by the dirt in humanity 

Owl Brain: Humans are technically dirt.

The direct communication from the Heavens was something that appeared akin to a streaming platform's chat box. This form of communication was something that Li Yang chose to ignore.

People who were directly making contact with him on earth were the ones who actually mattered more in the long run. The Heavens already tied him up in a contract and only the ones on earth could offer him peace or provide further headache.

"Oi! What kind of bigshot chooses to get dropped off at this dump?!" One of the gangsters shouted. He took out his cigarette and crushed it beneath his foot. "Are you here to find a prostitute or a quick bang?"

It earned a couple of sniggers and guffaws from the man's companions.

Li Yang ignored the man and simply walked forward towards the streets.

"What a loser. Do you think you're better than us? Just keep walking, will ya—" The gangster quickly swallowed his words. Any jeering remark died down from his throat.

Li Yang only glanced at the man as he turned back to the streets, but the gangster felt something else.

In the man's perception and with how his body stilled instantly in a freeze-flight situation, it was as if he saw a menacing and powerful leak of dark energy that trailed out from the CEO's shadow and even glowed out from his eyes.

His own body couldn't even flee and was frozen in shock.

And then Li Yang was gone.

He didn't waste any time.

Author's Note: If you've seen Solo Leveling or Omniscient Reader webtoon (and who hasn't?) One of the favorite things I like depicted is the cool aura or shadow that envelops the protagonist along with the glow of light in his eyes. So hopefully, in spite of my writing skills, you guys were able to picture a similar thing. Thank you for reading!
