"Oh, welcome, welcome."
Not long after, seeing Qi Maoyang being brought to the office by Xue Zhao, Xu Shi gestured enthusiastically, "Old Qi, come here, sit down."
"Haha, Director Xu is really sitting on the Diaoyutai."
Qi Maoyang laughed twice and sat across from him timidly.
That’s right, it’s trepidation.
It can only be said that he is still worried about Xu Shi's previous arrangements, and he will naturally be uneasy now that he is "invited" here.
"No, it's not stable yet."
Xu Shi ordered someone to show him some tea, rubbed his temples tiredly, and then asked with a hint of regret, "Where's Uncle Qi? Didn't he come with you?"
"Ah...my father still has some things to deal with, so it's just me and Team Leader Xue who are here."
Qi Maoyang paused and said, thinking, do you really want to have a roll bun party?
How dare we actually come together?
Although the role played by "imaginary numbers" in this turmoil is relatively subtle, it does not really stand on the opposite side of the "snake ring".
But some things cannot be taken for granted. God knows what Xu Shi thinks of them?
The word "please" is always worthy of scrutiny. What if it is the Hongmen Banquet?
But if someone asks you to come, you can't just not come. That would be problematic... So after discussing it, the father and son decided to let Qi Maoyang come - he had dealt with Xu Shi a lot before, and he was relatively familiar with him. Mr. Qi Kang was the I have never interacted with him at all.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Xu Shi felt even more regretful when he heard this, "I've never visited Uncle Qi before. Forget it, I'll pay him a visit in person in a while."
He was really sorry, because from his perspective, the Qi family and his son were very interesting beings in the consortium, and Qi Maoyang was anyway.
Therefore, he also wanted to get to know the other party's father, whom he had never met, to see what kind of person he was.
In particular, he wanted to ask, did you father and son really go through the cave at the same time? Very curious!
But he also knew why Xiao Qi was so nervous. He was very good at observing words and expressions... So he walked up to Qi Maoyang, smiled and comforted him, "Why are you so reserved? We are good brothers."
Qi Maoyang thought to himself, "Don't say goodbye. The fate of the last person you called brother is obvious to all. This is not a good word."
"look at you."
Xu Shi seemed to know what he was thinking, "I told the truth. Do you still think that I called you here to trick you into killing him?"
"I'm not that cruel... It doesn't matter even if you really use Qiangzi to negotiate terms with me, not to mention you don't have one, right?"
Asking himself, he really had no intention of attacking "imaginary numbers".
It is true that he had not informed or asked the Qi family and his son to do anything before, just to see what their attitude was... But now that he saw it, he was quite satisfied with it.
Perhaps because he has always been at the bottom of the food chain, "Imaginary Number" has always been cautious in doing things. As he said, whether it is to show loyalty or to take advantage of the "Shark Tooth" matter, it is within the acceptable range for him. This will cause additional bloodshed, which is not worth it.
The fact is that he does want to take the opportunity to further enhance his control over Night Sin City, but he does not want to completely reshuffle the ruling class, but still wants to leave part of it... How can he do everything by himself?
Coupled with the several previous cooperations with "Imaginary Numbers" and the first thing he did without saying a word, he was still feeling guilty.
Don't scream, Mr. Xu is a very kind person, and he will be condemned by his conscience from time to time.
"...Lao Xu, you are speaking harshly. I have never experienced such a big scene, I am just a little tired."
Qi Maoyang smiled when he heard this, but felt relieved in his heart.
He didn't expect Xu Shi's eyes to be so poisonous, and he could see everything at once.
He also laid out the key point... This is a good signal, at least temporarily - "Imaginary Numbers" will not be affected, and everyone is still a good partner holding hands after this incident.
"That's good, just lie down and watch the show."
Xu Shi didn't say anything further, but stretched out and said, "Would you like some popcorn with peanuts and melon seeds? I'll have someone get some."
"That's no need."
Qi Maoyang waved his hands repeatedly, and he was even more curious about another thing, "Old Xu, what do you mean by watching a show?"
"Here."
Xu Shi waved his hand, and the lights in the room instantly dimmed, and a projection appeared, broadcasting live what was happening somewhere.
"This is...the first area?"
Qi Maoyang recognized the place on the screen at a glance.
And the next second he realized what Xu Shi meant by the good show.
"Old Xu, you are going to attack "Dragon City"..."
Damn it!
Go crazy!
He never expected that Xu Shi would actually take the opportunity to attack "Dragon City"!
For a long time, "Dragon City" has basically not been included in the overt and covert struggles between major financial groups.
This is mainly because the nature of "Dragon City" is different from others. You say it is one of the six major consortiums, but everyone actually agrees that it is a big gang. In addition, due to its geographical location, no one wants to break up Night City. The delicate balance between the two sides of the city will be very troublesome if it really leads to any consequences.
Furthermore, "Dragon City" itself is not a soft persimmon. How can it survive the turmoil when "Refracting" and "Tianhe" were destroyed? Long Tianding himself is also an S-class "upgraded person", and he has countless fans.
Therefore, everyone is still more inclined to cooperate with them. They can do the dirty work and take the blame when something happens.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Shi's move was really a bit exaggerated.
But when he wanted to ask something, he saw Xu Shi already half-lying on another sofa beside him, holding Xia Keyan with the same expectant look in his arms, and Gu Yi clinging to his side.
"..."
Qi Maoyang blinked, you really don't avoid people at all, do you? What kind of parent-child day is this? Are you going to watch a movie as a family? Especially the white-haired little loli in his arms was really holding a bucket of popcorn...
This obviously told him to stop talking, so Qi Maoyang had no choice but to swallow the question back.
But having said that, Gu Yi was somewhat impressed, but who was this little girl? Xu Shi quietly even had a child? That's not right, the age doesn't match...
and.
He wanted to know another thing more.
Even with the Inspection Bureau, Xu Shi had already dispatched a considerable number of troops and manpower just to deal with the "forgotten" riots inside and outside the city.
According to his estimation, no matter how good the equipment is, the remaining parts cannot compete with "Dragon City".
So.
What can he rely on to start a war with Longtian Cauldron?
The answer is simple.
people.
Two people.
To be more precise, two people and a dog.
…
"Chairman Wen, are you coming to see me at this time? What's the matter?"
In front of the gate of "Dragon City", when he saw Wen Shengkui, dressed in leather and leather shoes, sitting upright in a wheelchair, Long Tianding gritted his teeth and asked knowingly.
"Destroy you."
Wen Shengkui purred the fur of the little black dog in his arms and responded without raising his eyes.
Judging from his tone, he didn't take the other person seriously at all, as if he was talking about what to eat at night.
"……Why?"
Long Tianding opened his mouth, "Because of Xu Shi?"
"Because you breached the contract."
Mr. Wen said calmly, with an evil look in his eyes, "We had agreed before that we would put aside our past grudges and jointly develop the people's livelihood in Night Sin City. Is this right?"
"But how did you do it? Provide venues and arms for the thugs, and secretly allow them to launch an attack on the City of Night Sin?"
"What kind of words are these?"
Just by confronting him, Long Tianding felt it was a little difficult to breathe. He subconsciously reached out to untie his collar, "Do you have evidence?"
"Do you need me to go to District 5 to search for you?"
Wen Shengkui said expressionlessly, "Maybe we can just search here? That Lin Wenhua should be hiding here now?"
"..."
Long Tianding remained silent.
To be honest, if it were someone else, he would actually be able to deal with it.
But it was Wen Shengkui who came, and he knew that it was useless to say anything.
Let alone ordinary things, this old man has rarely shown his face in recent years, so now he is more like a signal - anything he is present in is a very important event.
For example, the previous press conference for cross-generation chips, or the discussion about the settlement of the "Forgotten Ones".
And his words also showed one thing - there was no room for maneuver.
"Just you?"
Long Tianding suppressed the dizziness in his head and asked.
"Yes, otherwise people would say I bully others."
Wen Shengkui nodded and handed the little black dog to Ning Wei behind him, "Take care of it. After beating it, it will lose one hair. I will write my resignation tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
Ning Wei took the puppy and stepped aside respectfully.
His role seemed to be really just to push Wen Shengkui in the wheelchair.
"You make the first move."
Mr. Wen looked at Longtian Cauldron calmly, but his tone was a little more contemptuous.
"...Don't be so proud! What about SS?!"
Long Tianding clenched his fists and stamped his feet on the ground.
Now is not the time to beg for mercy and negotiate conditions. What use can these tricks have?
He had no way out except to fight to the death.
And he must do this - who is not a syndicate leader? He still has the anger he should have.
What's more, if you are caught without mercy, you will only die. Only by fighting hard may you still have a chance of survival!
After all, he is also a veteran S-class "promoter", so he has a chance!
If he had placed it a few decades ago, he would definitely not have thought this way. At that time, Wen Shengkui was the most serious person in the limelight. In terms of momentum and style, he was definitely not inferior to Xu Shi now, or even worse!
But now he is just an old candle in the wind, SS? Maybe your bones will fall apart if you use your ability!
As he spoke, he saw the ground beneath his feet shaking violently, and the entire first area felt like an earthquake!
The next second, he saw two giant dragons breaking out of the ground. The giant thing more than ten stories high carried him into the sky quickly. It seemed that he could faintly hear the roar of the dragon!
Even Xu Shi, who was watching the show from a distance, could feel a slight shock and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This is the upgraded ability of Longtian Cauldron - "Earth Element Control".
To be honest, this is not a very special ability. Can Yu Xingchuan also control metal?
But the qualitative change brought about by S-class is really terrifying. You asked the adjutant lady to put on this posture to see if she can do it? Sorry I can't do it.
Xu Shi has no doubt that if the combat power can be quantified, it is conservatively estimated that Long Tianding alone can exceed the sum of all the people outside the city. At least in terms of destructive power alone, his two behemoths are unmatched.
"This... Xu Shi, are you really going to let Grandpa fight with him alone?"
Gu Yi couldn't help but sweat for Wen Shengkui... She couldn't help but think otherwise. The contrast in the current scene was too strong. Compared with the current Longtian Cauldron, Mr. Wen was as small as dust.
She had heard Bastard Xu say that her grandfather was super powerful, but he didn't look like he could beat him...
"...Don't be afraid."
Xu Shi felt very relaxed, patted her back and comforted her, "I can't lose."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't you see Long Tianding standing on the left?"
"Huh? What can you say?"
"Of course, as the old saying goes, the left side has always lost against Bo."
"...┗|｀O′|┛I'm not kidding you!"
Gu Yi was startled, then hit him twice on the back, "I'm serious, don't tell me that you don't have other accuracy... Huh?"
As she was talking, she suddenly noticed something.
The earthquake just now was not violent. It was felt even here, let alone the first area itself.
But it happened that only the area near Wen Shengkui didn't see any smoke or dust, let alone cracks.
The old man himself remained unmoved, as steady as a mountain.
"this?"
Miss Black Rabbit is stupid.
Before she could come to her senses, Long Tianding had already harnessed the earth dragon and rushed towards Wen Shengkui.
The earth dragon flew quickly, causing stone thorns to rise from the ground, and the rain of stones in the sky was like shooting stars.
"Old thing, you, die!"
Longtian Cauldron's eyes were cracked, obviously he had used his abilities to the extreme.
However.
It was still the same as before, about five or six meters in front of Mr. Wen, all the offensives suddenly weakened, and they could no longer go any further.
"I am indeed an old thing. As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead. Maybe one day, I will really be defeated or replaced by someone."
Mr. Wen looked at his incompetent and furious look seriously, and finally there was a smile on his lips, "But that person won't be you."
As he spoke, he took out his right hand hidden under the blanket and pressed it lightly.
There is only one action.
Then.
The next second.
Everyone saw the two huge earth dragons, instantly turning into powder and disappearing!
"!"
Long Tianding himself suddenly lost his support and fell rapidly.
However, if you look closely, his fall does not look natural. Instead, he seems to be pressed by something, unable to even struggle!
And in this process, he himself was like an onion. First, the clothes on his body were peeled off piece by piece, and then the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs were turned into ashes bit by bit at high speed!
When the smoke and dust cleared, not even a trace could be seen on the cracked ground.
Completely destroyed!
"You see, what I said, right?"
Xu Shi relaxedly spread his hands and said, "Don't talk about losing on the left side of the wave, the one who strikes first is usually the one who will die."
"ah……"
Miss Black Rabbit obviously did not escape from this shock, she just turned her head to look at him mechanically.
"Um...what kind of ability does the old man have?"
"Well...how can I explain it to you?"
Xu Shi thought for a while, "It's actually quite troublesome, but to sum it up, it only takes six words."
"?"
"knowledge is power."
The disease is almost cured. It feels so uncomfortable to pinch the numbness...
I heard that another fellow writer is also ill, and I read in the news that it is the peak of the recovery period recently, so everyone must pay attention to their health.
