Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Art of War is the Way of Deception.

Que Zelian quickly finished writing seven numbers on paper balls and scattered them across the table: "Pick in the order of the numbers you receive, no using superpowers to cheat and peek."

At his words, Li was the first to reach out.

When he saw the number 2 on the slip, he nodded with satisfaction.

Soon, the other men each picked a paper ball.

Su Ye and Shi Xie reached for the same paper ball at the same time. Shi Xie withdrew his fingers, politely smiling: "You’re the senior here, please go first."

Su Ye, uncharacteristically agreeable, graciously said, "You’re the new guy, go ahead and pick first."

Hearing this, Shi Xie smiled gratefully at him and took the paper ball Su Ye initially aimed for.

When the paper ball was opened and revealed the number 7, the smile on Shi Xie’s face instantly froze.

He quickly glanced at Su Ye and saw that Su Ye had taken the last paper ball left on the table, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips.

Shi Xie: ...

Beast husbands can be wicked!

Shi Xie thought his luck wasn’t that bad...

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have competed for the paper ball Su Ye had chosen.

Everyone opened their paper balls; some were pleased, others frowned.

Mo Jiao, with his calm purple eyes, asked, "Who got number one?"

"It’s me," Huaiqing pushed up his glasses, smiling as he placed the paper ball with the number one spread out on the table.

Shi Xie stared at the number one, then looked at the number seven in his hand, his heart full of regret.

"What’s everyone’s order?" Xiao Jinsheng asked curiously.

The seven men each unfolded their slips of paper, and Xiao Jinsheng hurried to annotate their orders on the Star Map.

Better to avoid confusion later on when things get chaotic and not remember whose turn it is for the day’s duties.
