Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

The air inside the meeting room was thick and still.

The shareholders stared wide-eyed.

Instead of Attorney Zhao, it was Xia Li who arrived!

"tread."

The sound of high heels clicking on the ground was crisp and clear.

The shareholders around the long table tensed up instinctively, like statues frozen in ice.

They were afraid of Shirley.

If Shirley hadn't been seriously ill, they wouldn't have dared to dance so enthusiastically.

Although this woman is only thirty years old, her ruthless methods send chills down one's spine.

No one will forget how she established her authority and dealt with her opponents when she first came to power.

That night, countless people were taken away by the police, and countless others...died unexpectedly.

Xia Li's gaze swept across the shareholders' faces, finally settling on the wealthy woman.

The noblewoman shuddered and swallowed hard.

"You, how could you...?"

Shirley spoke up:

"What did you just say?"

The voice was like a thin, sharp weapon, precisely piercing the noblewoman's heart.

All eyes were on her.

He was just calling someone a slut, but now that she's here, he can't even utter a single punctuation mark.

Her face was burning hot.

The humiliation of being bullied by Shirley finally erupted at this moment!

She stared intently at Shirley.

Shirley's ALS and heart disease are real, and Shirley will die, and soon!

Although I don't understand how they can get back on their feet now, the outcome is already decided.

The wealthy woman slammed her hand on the table, jumped to her feet, pointed at Xia Li, and angrily shouted:

"You slut!"

Stop putting on airs!

Your era as a sickly person is over!

The world's dream belongs to us, not to you, a dying man!

These words brought all the shareholders to their senses.

Even if Shirley can stand up again, it will only be a miracle.

Her illness had already sentenced her to death.

Upon realizing this, the shareholders straightened their backs.

Without saying a word, Xia Li walked towards the wealthy woman in her high heels.

The high heels clicked crisply and steadily, each step striking a nerve with the shareholders.

Xia Li faced the noblewoman, who deliberately tilted her head back with a disdainful look in her eyes.

Just when everyone was wondering how Shirley would handle the situation, a scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

Shirley raised her long, slender legs and slammed her knee into the noblewoman's abdomen.

The noblewoman stared in horror, coughed up blood, and collapsed to the ground in agony.

Shirley lifted her foot, her high heel landing on the wealthy woman's head, her queen-like gaze sweeping over the numerous shareholders:

"Your audacity is growing so great that I fear the world dream will fall into my hands."

Everyone stared in shock at what they saw.

It's not surprising that Shirley hit someone herself.

Incredibly, Shirley was clearly not sick!

Otherwise, where would they get such strength?!

In an instant, everyone's minds began to race.

Could it be... that Shirley isn't sick?

Is all of this a setup?

She wanted to see what surprises her shareholders would bring her while she was seriously ill.

The middle-aged fat man reacted quickly and immediately said:

"President Xia, this has nothing to do with me; it was all their idea!"

The old man, no longer composed, hurriedly explained:

"We are worried that the World Dream will have no successors, so we asked Attorney Zhao to think of a solution."

Did Attorney Zhao do something to you that caused this misunderstanding?

Shirley laughed, but her smile grew increasingly cold.

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

It’s over.

A handsome man in his thirties said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Xia, what's done is done."

Are you suggesting you have your assassins kill us all?

Shirley said quietly:

"I really want to kill you all, but why would I tear down the very foundations of the World Dream?"

Then everyone understood.

Even if we make mistakes, can Shirley kill us?

Without us as shareholders and without our resources, the World Dream would be doomed.

I was just intimidated by Shirley's aura.

It was like when a strong young man was slapped in the face by a slender female teacher in high school.

Even though he knew he wouldn't be killed by a mere girl, he was still terrified.

A foreign woman frowned and said:

There is a saying in the Xia Dynasty: things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes.

The world dream has reached its peak and will inevitably perish in the future.

We simply cannot find any new projects to take the world dream a step further.

Now, breaking down the world dream is the best option!

Shirley glanced at her:

"I've found a good project, but we need everyone to work together."

The crowd looked at each other.

Have you found a good project?

How is that possible?

Is it real estate?

No, the real estate industry in the South China Sea has long since reached its end.

Shirley removed her feet from the noblewoman's head and said:

My father had two wishes before he died.

First, find that family photo from when you were a child.

Secondly, it aims to unite the shareholders of World Dream.

The first point is something I can't do. After my grandfather died, he left everything behind except for that family photo, which has disappeared without a trace.

As for the second point, I didn't have the ability before, but I can now.

No one could understand what Shirley was saying.

The human heart is the easiest thing in the world to change and the hardest thing to see through.

How did she have the courage to say such a thing?

Next, Shirley told them.

Shirley's pupils gradually turned scarlet.

A pair of thin bat wings sprouted from the waist.

She bit her finger, and eight drops of blood shot out from her fingertip.

The essence of blood landed on the foreheads of the still-dazed shareholders, slowly sinking...

"What, what's going on?!"

"Ugh...it hurts!"

"My head is about to explode!"

The shareholders fell off their chairs in agony, rolling around on the floor in pain.

Their bodies gradually changed.

Its eyes gradually turned red, fangs protruded from its mouth, and its nails became unusually sharp.

They watched in horror as their bodies changed.

President Xia... is actually a vampire!

Now they've turned them into vampires too!

How could this be?! How could vampires, these legendary creatures, actually appear?!

Shirley has the ability to turn them into vampires.

This ability is called the "Embrace."

The biggest difference between these vampire descendants and her is that they don't have bat wings.

In this world, only the progenitor of vampires who wears the Mark of Cain possesses the power of flight, a symbol of strength and authority.

Shirley felt somewhat weak.

Transforming eight vampires in one go caused her great harm.

But it has to be done.

The shareholders must be united in order to truly help the Taboo Society.

Forbidden objects are the new target of the World Dream Group.

"Mr. Xia... I..."

The elderly, after all, have experienced the most and are best able to process changes.

Xia Li crossed her two long, slender legs, creating a beautiful silhouette.

She had regained her normal human body, her slender, fair fingers supporting her pretty face.

A slight smile curved at the corners of Shirley's lips:

"It's my mother."

The old man's body trembled violently, and his aged face showed astonishment.

An irresistible pressure of bloodline descended upon everyone's hearts.

They have an intuition.

Anyone who disobeys this "mother" will die instantly, losing even their soul.

The eight shareholders—an elderly man, a middle-aged fat man, a wealthy woman, a handsome man, and a foreign woman—knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed respectfully.

"Mother."

"Mother... Mother!"

The curve of Xia Li's lips became more and more pronounced.

Then, the door was pushed open again.

He was a red-haired young man named Xia Qiming.

He is Shirley's younger brother.

Xia Qiming was ultimately a playful person. Even though he knew tonight was the night he would inherit the World Dream, he still spent time with girls at the bar before coming here.

At that moment, he saw a very strange scene.

The cold and beautiful female CEO sat in the main seat with her legs crossed, her voluptuous body casually leaning against the back of the chair.

Eight men and women of different genders and ages knelt on the ground.

These social elites, gentlemen and ladies of high society, bowed to their queen as if they had a particular hobby.

Xia Qiming's eyes widened:

"Sis! How come you're still alive?!"

Xia Li glanced at Xia Qiming, a look of heartache flashing in her eyes.

She closed her eyes and whispered:

"Ele.me, my takeout is here."

Only then did the eight shareholders feel an intense hunger!

The hunger made every cell in their bodies twitch and ache.

Unable to contain themselves, the eight shareholders completely lost their reason, stood up in unison, and pounced on Xia Qiming.

Xia Qiming then realized that all the shareholders had turned into monsters!

He can't escape; the noblewoman vampire has already pinned him to the ground!

Xia Qiming screamed:

"Sister, save me! If I die, the Xia family line will end!"

Xia Li slowly opened her eyes.

The sadness gradually faded, leaving behind an indescribable ambition.

Excitement sparkled in her eyes as she parted her red lips slightly:

"I am immortal and indestructible, so the Xia family has no need for any more descendants."

These arrogant and domineering words shattered all of Xia Qiming's hopes.

......

The following day, in the early morning.

Han Dafu Subdistrict, East District of Nanhai.

An elderly man who was scavenging early in the morning witnessed this bizarre scene.

The man in the security guard uniform walked unsteadily, dragging something along like a zombie.

His eyes were filled with lust, his face wore a lecherous expression, and he chuckled from time to time.

He left red and yellow drag marks on the ground as he walked, emitting a foul stench.

The old man walked over curiously to take a look, but his cloudy old eyes were instantly filled with fear.

"ah!!!!!"

A piercing scream shattered the tranquility of dawn.
