Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! The other four senior managers, as well as all the managers, shareholders, and investors nearby, gazed at Qi Yuanbao.
Wuying Qinxin was at a loss. The big shots who belonged to the "Wuying group" were lost for words too.
"Manager Qi."
"What do you think of Black Wind King's suggestion?" asked the senior manager who was more experienced and prudent.
"I-I … He's lying. Trust me, he really told a great lie!"
Qi Yuanbao couldn't have felt more wronged. He bashed his chest and said, "He is not the Black Wind King at all. Fake! Fake!"
"We have examined the jade chips, the medals, the structural designs of the warships, and the star maps that the Black Wind King brought. Everything is absolutely authentic. There is not the slightest flaw."
The mature senior manager said peacefully, "If you have any objections, Manager Qi, you are free to examine them in person. Speaking of which, didn't you say yourself just now that the Black Wind King's strength and the fineness of his Colossus couldn't have been a product of the Imperium today? Isn't it indirectly proof of the Black Wind King's identity?"
"Well …"
Qi Yuanbao was lost for words for a moment. Blushing, he said, "Perhaps, it was not the Black Wind Fleet that destroyed Firefly at all, but Firefly that destroyed the Black Wind Fleet. That's why he got those things. He — he is not an Immortal Cultivator; he is a Cultivator!"
That one sentence made everyone laugh involuntarily.
Holding his arms, Li Yao sniffed. "Manager Qi, you do have a vivid imagination. How strong is the Black Wind Fleet? How strong is Firefly? Even if the Black Wind Fleet is caught in a cosmic storm, and most of the starships are broken, the remaining branch fleet is not something that Firefly can resist! I'm a Cultivator? Haha. Hahahaha. That's the greatest joke in the world! "
"Yes, I told you that you are a Cultivator!"
Like a crazy devil, Qi Yuanbao pointed at Li Yao's nose and said, "If you want to prove that you are not a Cultivator, just kill anybody and let's see!"
"No problem. Then drag your entire family out. This prince will cut them off piece by piece for you to see."
Li Yao's eyes instantly became even colder than ice, as if he were the God of Death who had just crawled out from the deepest part of hell. He said word by word, "However, why don't you take out the document first? It won't be too late to kill your entire family after reading it. You seem to be very afraid that other people will see the document. Why?"
"That's right, Manager Qi. It's just a document. Only the five of us can read it. There won't be any harm. Why are you so nervous?"
The old deacon looked more and more suspicious. He stared at Qi Yuanbao and said, "I didn't want to say it in front of so many deacons and shareholders, but your performance today was truly abnormal. Is there anything clandestine about the document? Even if there is, shouldn't the four of us know about it?"
"Of course not. Trust me. You must all trust me!"
Like an old dog who had run into a wall in desperation, Qi Yuanbao was sweating hard and trembling hard. He shouted desperately, "He is really not the Black Wind King. He is not even an Immortal Cultivator. He is an out-and-out Cultivator! Also, the destruction of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' was done by him, too. I guarantee with my head that he was the one who did it. He was the one who ruined the efforts of so many investors! "
As soon as he said this, the crowd was in an uproar.
Li Yao, however, raised his head and burst into laughter. "I've never seen such an insane, raving man. You are biting randomly like a rabid dog when you are about to be killed. You even want to blame the destruction of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' on me? Why don't you say that even Emperor Shenwu was assassinated by me?
"Just like I said, if you want to accuse me of being a Cultivator or even the culprit who destroyed 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky', I can defend myself slowly. But first of all, why do you insist on not retrieving the document? Is the document not a secret agreement between me and Jin Yuyan but a secret agreement between you and the four Kurfürst families? "
This accusation was like a bolt from the blue, pulling everyone's souls out in an instant.
The killing intent of the other four senior managers was suddenly intense. They gestured for the private soldiers loyal to them to disperse in secret and be wary of those who were loyal to Qi Yuanbao.
Even those who were loyal to Qi Yuanbao, and even the members of "Life Claimer" in the past, were mostly not involved in Qi Yuanbao's scheme. They did not know what was going on at all and were targeted by a lot of people in their ignorance.
Seeing that their leader was so passive that he could not say anything, as if he had really done something wrong, how could those people raise their fighting will at all?
"Manager Qi, the Black Wind King does have a point."
The mature senior manager said solemnly, "It won't take much time to gather the soul marks of the five of us and retrieve a document to read. Whatever you want to say, let's wait until you read the document first. How does that sound?"
Qi Yuanbao looked at everybody, at Wuying Qinxin who was crouching in a corner, and then at Li Yao with his eyes full of hatred. He nodded heavily and said, "Let's read it then. I don't know what the document is at all. What's there to be scared of?
"However, there are too many people here. In case the secrets are leaked, we will naturally go to the meeting room that is even more confidential to read the document together!"
"About that …"
The mature senior manager looked at Li Yao.
Li Yao made a "go ahead" gesture.
The five senior managers discussed for a while and sank to the space below the grand conference room on an enormous floating disc together.
Right on the floor dozens of meters below the grand conference room, a round gate was opened like a chrysanthemum. When the five senior managers were about to enter, an abrupt change took place!
Qi Yuanbao suddenly roared and dashed out of the window in a streak of brightness!
Even though somebody had guessed that something was wrong with him, they did not expect that he would run away so decisively. The defenders of the Seven Seas Grand Market were under Qi Yuanbao's command in the first place. Looking at each other in bewilderment, the soldiers were not sure whether or not they should attack their immediate boss. But Qi Yuanbao dashed out of the empty window after a few leaps and bounds.
Exclamations burst out in the grand conference room. Qi Yuanbao's escape confirmed his betrayal, which made everybody believe that Li Yao was the "Black Wind King" even more.
Li Yao had foreseen Qi Yuanbao's movement. After a sniff, he turned into ferocious smoke and blinked to the window, grabbing Qi Yuanbao's back.
"Shua!"
A gigantic black hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Qi Yuanbao. It was so strong that his entire back was scratched. Even his bones were clearly visible.
Qi Yuanbao grunted and fell from hundreds of meters high like a dry tree.
However, an invisible force poured out of his pores and turned into thousands of strands that continued to flee outwards!
Even though the headquarters of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, few people sensed the existence of Qi Yuanbao's remaining soul. Even the Immortal Cultivators with the keenest senses only sensed that it was gone in the blink of an eye in a gentle breeze.
Seeing that Qi Yuanbao was about to escape, Li Yao sneered and snapped his fingers. Remotely controlling the "Arsonist" to turn around and blow out a deafening soundwave at the direction where Qi Yuanbao was running in panic.
BAM!
As if ten thousand bells were echoing at the same time, the soundwaves were condensed into visible blasts that were surging out like a flood.
All the Immortal Cultivators were dizzy because of the shock. Their ears were shaking, and blood was flowing out.
The Crystal Suit, the shuttles, and the battle puppets were all emitting cracking sparks. A lot of magical equipment units were temporarily malfunctioning.
In the overlapping soundwaves, Qi Yuanbao's remaining soul screamed miserably, finally revealing its vague shape. It was struggling in pain like a cluster of unpredictable, unpredictable mist.
"Qi Yuanbao — Hanged Man!"
Not far away, two furious roars echoed at the same time.
They were exactly Black Flag King and Revenant of the Dead Sea, the other two super assassins of the "four gods of death" who were as famous as Qi Yuanbao. They had locked onto Qi Yuanbao's remaining soul from the left and the right!
If Qi Yuanbao still had internal organs, he would've been scared out of his wits at this moment.
Even though his remaining soul had been tempered with secret techniques and was extremely solid, it was still on the verge of dispersing.
Black Flag King and Revenant of the Dead Sea were both super assassins in the Divinity Transformation Stage. Even if they were slightly weaker than him, the gap would not be huge.
Besides, there was also such a ferocious god as Li Yao coveting him from the back. Most of Qi Yuanbao's senses and computational ability were occupied, too.
After a moment of carelessness, his soul suddenly hurt, only to be pierced through by a sniper bullet that had been carved with special rune arrays to deal with remaining souls and spirits. Hiss! Hiss!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Qi Yuanbao's remaining soul completely lost the strength to be condensed. It turned from a slightly fuzzy human into a monster with tentacles that were waving crazily. The tentacles were broken and obliterated one after another, and it was about to vanish into thin air.
Li Yao waved his hands and released a rusted artificial body that was missing limbs from his Cosmos Ring, throwing it at Qi Yuanbao's remaining soul.
Like a drowning man who was grasping a life-saving straw, Qi Yuanbao's remaining soul had no time to bother whether or not the artificial body had been tampered with. Smoke crawled into the artificial body in a hurry. Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
The moment all the remaining soul crawled into the artificial body, Li Yao condensed a rune casually. The artificial body immediately unleashed dazzling electric arcs, electrifying Qi Yuanbao's remaining soul and making it scream in excruciating pain.
"Just stay in there obediently!"
