Against Heaven's Will-Novel

Secretary raised her brows at President Wu’s quick decision but brightened right after. "That’s great! Shall I order the preparation of the flying ship?"

"Yes, but you will stay here," President Wu ordered, standing up from the sofa. "I need you on the spot to control my granddaughter while I’m away. Who knows what she will do when I cannot stop her anymore."

Secretary didn’t seem happy about this decision as she stepped forward, hugging President Wu’s arm into her chest. "Won’t President Wu feel lonely without me?" She asked seductively, causing President Wu to pull her into his arms while smacking her butt.

"Of course I will! But I can’t let my feelings control me. It’s for the greater good. We can’t let Xuefeng join House of Dragons before his relationship with Trade Union is solid," President Wu explained before adding as he gripped her firmly. "Once I’m back, we will continue what we started. We will have the whole night for ourselves."

Secretary didn’t let out any voice of complaint, quite the opposite, she was enjoying it. "Yes Master~" She whispered into his ear in agreement, letting his hands roam freely. "President Wu... You changed your decision quite fast. What made you change your mind?"

"Well, it’s not like we have a choice. My initial plan of giving Elemental Bracelet to Little Wu and then use Trade Union power to gather all the remaining Elemental Stones is over. I don’t think I can do that anymore with Xuefeng getting Sect Master Liu’s help and my granddaughter scheming against me," President Wu explained as he kissed Secretary on the neck. "The best we can do is regaining my granddaughter’s trust by accepting Xuefeng."

"Mhmm... President Wu, don’t plan on betraying him later, right? It will for sure destroy Miss Wu’s life. She will hate you and use everything to destroy you. I know she is that kind of woman just based on my first day with her. She will not stop before she achieves her goal and family ties won’t matter at that time," Secretary pointed out, causing President Wu to lose his passion.

He pulled away from her and sighed, drinking straight from the bottle.

"I guess my granddaughter inherited my genes... I wanted to protect her from all the experts eying the Elemental Bracelet but it seems she wants to follow her own path. It will be quite a bloodbath if I force her into anything..." President Wu said softly.

Many knew about his possession of the Fire Elemental Stone for years but he was still safe. After all, no one wanted to risk fighting the whole Trade Union just to get the stone. It was definitely a tricky situation, knowing the power in the Heaven Realm was capped at Celestial Stage. If one wanted to fight him for the Stone, they had to use Celestial Stage strength to beat him.

The question was, how can they do it when President Wu had multiple Celestial Stage cultivators protecting him at all times?

Because of that, many already considered him as the last stone to collect as everyone knew exactly where it was but at the same time, how could they collect all other stones when most were not even inside the Heaven Realm. Once someone Ascends, they couldn’t go back unless they use an Avatar but even then, they couldn’t use the power of Elemental Bracelet to assist them.

President Wu was considering all ins and outs to provide the safety for him and Wu when Secretary quickly dove into his arms once again, almost spilling President Wu’s liquor. "President Wu! I love that you finally understood this. She will definitely reach further by herself. That’s her inner personality and we can’t change it."

President Wu was still depressed about the outcome but he pretended to smile instead, hugging her gently. "Mhmm, you are right. I will go talk with her about it now, while you settle the flying ship."

"President Wu, I’m sure Miss Wu won’t accept it easily, worrying that you might do something bad to her husband. I suggest you take Miss Nuwa with you to calm Miss Wu down," Secretary proposed, snuggling into President Wu’s chest.

"No worries, I already planned to do exactly that. This Queen is quite hard to deal with but it should be fine," President Wu assured.

"If I am to stay, should I report everything I do and decide?" Secretary questioned one last time as he was about to leave.

"No need," President Wu shook his head. "I trust your judgment. Only report to me if something really bad happens."

Poof.

Right as he pulled away, his body teleported away, leaving Secretary alone in the office. He couldn’t see anymore but she was overjoyed. She made sure he was gone before Secretary chuckled, pulling out a recording crystal from her pocket.

She poured Spirit Qi inside of it and suddenly, a scene from a moment ago played out, using their voice.

"If I am to stay, should I report everything I do and decide?"

"No need, I trust your judgment. Only report to me if something really bad happens."

Secretary grinned when she cut the recording.

"I worked so hard for this... The time has finally come to act."

———

"Huh? What are you planning?"

When Wu heard her grandpa’s plans, she quickly assumed something was wrong. There was no way her grandpa suddenly became a good person.

She was in her new office with Nuwa as a company and ate dinner with her when President Wu appeared out of nowhere, causing them to almost spill their food everywhere.

"Where is he now? We are going with you," Wu called out firmly without much hesitation. Xuefeng was more important to her than some Trade Union.

"Wait, don’t be in such a hurry," President Wu stopped her. "Didn’t you just become a General Manager just as you wanted? You want to leave right after you started?"

"Of course. I will leave anything for Xuefeng. I still don’t trust you and you want to go meet with Xuefeng, telling me you will bring him back? As if I let you do that," Wu called out firmly, glaring at her grandpa. "Tell me, where is he?"

"Okay, okay, calm down," President Wu chilled the tension. "He is currently in the Water Land Capital. I admit that it was my mistake by forcing you but now I’m willing to redeem myself. If you really don’t trust me, you can ask your friend to follow me."

When Nuwa was mentioned, she gazed at Wu, exchanging glances with her. Both knew it was too risky to separate from each other but at the same time, they couldn’t let her grandpa go without supervision.

"I will go," Nuwa decided. "I’m already bored with cultivation anyway and wanted to go out. If I were to stay here longer doing the same thing, I would go crazy."

She didn’t stop and added, "I will bring him back safely as soon as I can."

Only then did Wu nod her head after a moment of hesitation.

"Fine."
