Shirō Makino came out of the virtual chamber and went to the living room. He saw Xia Houming sitting on the sofa with a cup of green tea in front of him.
In the crystal clear cup, every tea leaf was standing upright. Most of them were floating on the surface, while a few were sunk into the bottom.
The lush greenery gave people a very comfortable feeling.
"The tea is not bad!" Shirō Makino walked down the stairs and sat opposite Xia Houming.
Xia Houming frowned slightly and looked up at Shirō Makino.
"Master Bai, I have fulfilled all your requests. Is it time for my daughter to be cured?"
"Mm, it is time to treat her," Shirō Makino nodded and looked at Xia Houming, "But before that, I have a question."
"Ask away. I will tell you everything I know." Xia Houming nodded and looked at Xia Houming calmly.
"I want to know, do you have to kill me?"
When Shirō Makino asked this, he smiled and looked at Xia Houming with clear eyes.
He really wanted to know what Xia Houming's first reaction was.
Because this was something that he should not know no matter what.
But he did know.
"What are you talking about?" Xia Houming was shocked. He looked at Shirō Makino, "Why would you ask that? I invited you to treat my daughter. Why would I kill you? "
"That's a little boring, Mr. Xia Houming. You are a person of importance. Don't make me look down on you." Shirō Makino looked at Xia Houming with clear eyes. "Is that okay?"
"Mr. Bai, I don't understand what you are talking about." Xia Houming's voice was deep and his body was emitting an aura. He looked sincere.
"F * ck, I killed two Wang Er Mazi. They are the actual managers of your organization in Hundred Flowers City. The other manager is Vice City Lord Wang!"
"Look at what you have done!"
Shirō Makino stopped smiling and leaned back on the sofa. He crossed his legs and looked at Xia Houming calmly.
"Harassing a shop opened by a few enthusiastic students to help solve the problem of employment for the poor in the northern district of Hundred Flowers City, setting up a trap for my partner's wife, and using his daughter as bait to lure me to Liming City … Mr. Xiahou, do you want me to continue?"
"I hate people who act smart, but I hate people who act dumb even more! Since I asked you, it means that I know! "
"Zi Yue told you?" Xia Houming was stunned for a long time. He frowned slightly and did not deny it. Instead, he looked at Shirō Makino and asked.
The only reason he could think of was that there was something wrong with his daughter.
That was because Shirō Makino had no other channels to know about this. But his daughter shouldn't know so much about these things, right?
How did this silly girl know? How could he dare to say anything to others? Do you hate your father that much?
This was a very frightening thing!
Because his public identity was that he was a super rich businessman in Liming City, and also the younger brother of the city lord!
Be it his status or social reputation, they were all very high!
As for the organization that had existed for tens of thousands of years, it was mysterious and would never be exposed to the public.
Other than the people in the organization, no one would dare to associate a big businessman like Xia Houming with an ancient organization that had existed in the dark for tens of thousands of years.
If this matter was leaked, not only would it affect him and his family, it would also deal a huge blow to the organization that he was in. It was not something that the matter in Hundred Flowers City could compare to.
Xia Houming sighed softly. He thought to himself that he doted on her and loved her so much. Did she not have any feelings for her father at all?
Would she not feel good if she did not trick her father?
This young man … could not be allowed to live no matter what.
But the prerequisite was that he had to cure his daughter's illness!
Many people said that he was a ruthless person, but Xia Houming always felt that he was not one. Because a true ruthless person would not only sell his wife and child, but even his own father!
For example, there was a person in history who wanted to share his own father with the enemy.
That person was a true ruthless person!
How could he, a slave to his daughter who could not abandon his family, be considered a ruthless person?
He was far from it!
But no matter what, he would not let this young man go!
He was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said, "What else do you know?"
"Mr. Xia Houming, I am a person who will repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring. Revenge … is nothing."
"Hehe, I won't hold a grudge just because someone glanced at me. At most, I would ask him what he was looking at. If he dared to say that he was looking at you, I would at most beat him up, or get beaten up by him. "
Xia Houming: "…"
Are you f * cking joking with me?
"But if someone schemed to harm my life, then I'm sorry, this is a life and death feud, I will definitely fight with my life!"
"People say that when an ordinary man is angry, blood will splash five steps away. As for me, I am not an ordinary man, I am a genius, a genius Talisman Artist! If this genius talisman master were to get angry, then it wouldn't just be a bloodbath. "
Xia Houming had already made up his mind to kill Shirō Makino here, no matter what. He relaxed and smiled. "Continue."
"When a true expert is angry, blood can flow like a river, and corpses can be strewn everywhere. I don't have that kind of ability, but overturning your Xiahou family is not a big problem."
"Haha, how are you going to overturn it? Use Ziyue to threaten me? "Xia Houming asked with a smile.
"Use her? Good idea! That should be the most effective and simple method. But there is no need. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I am still quite moral, "Shirō Makino said.
"Then what method will you use? Will you summon the two Grandmasters of the Sun family to flatten my manor? "Xia Houming laughed coldly.
"That is indeed the idea. You don't have to talk about how terrifying the organization behind you is, and how they will be afraid. There is no need for the two of them, one is enough to flatten your family. "
"But after thinking about it, I decided to forget about it. After all, their identities are not ordinary. Beating up bad people is not a problem, but beating up people like you who keep your identities clean is a little troublesome. After all, there are always people who do not know the truth, and I do not want to cause trouble for them. "Shirō Makino said calmly.
"Oh? Then I am a little curious. Could it be that you have some kind of incredible power behind you? "Xia Houming maintained his smile.
He was not even the slightest bit worried that Shirō Makino would suddenly attack him.
For someone of his status, how could he not have a few confidants around him?
How could he not have some hidden treasures on him?
He dared to guarantee that if Shirō Makino moved, he would be immediately suppressed!
"Stop testing me. My power is terrifying, and it is not something you can imagine."
Shirō Makino smiled. "Not just you people, even the big boss behind the scenes of your organization, His Highness Prince Qi … If he wants to provoke me, he will have to think twice about whether he can withstand the ensuing retaliation. And you … Who do you think you are?"
Xia Houming was stunned, and his eyes shot out two frightening rays of light.
If it was said that Shirō Makino knew about their plan and the organization behind them, he was slightly shocked.
But now … He was really shocked!
How could he know that this organization has something to do with His Highness Prince Qi?
I only found out about this in the past few years when my status rose. In the entire organization of Li Ming City, I'm the only one who knows about this. I've never told anyone about this. Even my elder brother doesn't know about it!
How could a child like him know about this?
This kind of thing could not have been told to him by Purple Moon.
Because Purple Moon did not know about this!
Even though he had experienced countless storms over the years, Xia Houming had never felt this kind of feeling.
The person sitting in front of him was obviously an extremely handsome young man, but the words that came out of his mouth caused his hair to stand on end, and his scalp to almost explode!
The young man's smile was very beautiful, but in Xia Houming's eyes, that faint smile of mockery was the most terrifying smile in the world.
His seventh level spiritual warrior heart could not bear it, and was beating very violently.
His entire body was cold!
Seeing Xia Houming's shocked expression, Shirō Makino said, "I'll speak, you listen. After all, this is your territory. If our conversation here can be eavesdropped by others, then don't blame me. You can only blame yourself for being stupid, not being able to handle such a small matter. "
Xia Houming: "…"
"I'm not going to use the power behind me to scare you. That's meaningless. Distant water cannot quench present thirst. Right now, you're just shocked and terrified. When you regain your senses, you'll still be thinking about how to kill me. After all, to people like you, a dead person is always the safest. "
"Let me tell you, since I dare to say this to you, I'm definitely not afraid of you. You don't have the ability to kill me. My trump card does not originate from the power behind me, but from … my own ability."
At this point, a soft explosion suddenly came from outside. The room was soundproof, so the sound was not loud.
Following that, there was a panicked sound.
Xia Houming subconsciously wanted to move.
Shirō Makino looked at him and said, "Don't be agitated, that's a formation talisman. You should know that my talisman can only last for a few seconds. It's a little short, and can only make an explosive formation. Just now, I only activated one of the points and blew up a statue outside your house. If it's too far away, I can't control it. But in this house, I can guarantee that there are explosive formation talismans everywhere. Don't think that it's only a second, it's much faster than a bomb. It's extremely powerful, and can flatten this place dozens of times in one second. I'll definitely be fine, but someone of your level definitely won't survive. Even if you have a treasure protecting you, it'll be useless. Do you want to try? "
Xia Houming took a deep breath. He didn't even ask what happened outside, nor did he say whether he believed it or not.
Choosing a comfortable position, he leaned back on the sofa and looked at Shirō Makino coldly. "Speak, what do you want?"
"See, that's more like a character!"
Shirō Makino gave Xia Houming a thumbs up and grinned. "Now that I've shown you my abilities, not only do I have the ability to protect myself, I can also kill you. So, let's be honest and not play any tricks."
Xia Houming was silent, calculating in his heart. He didn't say anything.
Shirō Makino knew that he was thinking of ways to kill him, but it didn't matter. He had more than one trump card.
"I know a lot more than you can imagine. It's not an exaggeration to say that your daughter once begged me to join her in the name of justice and overturn your organization."
Xia Houming raised his head and looked at him coldly.
Shirō Makino laughed. "Although I really want to laugh at you and say that you're a failure as a father, your daughter is still alright. It's not that she doesn't care about you as a father, but there's another reason why she's like this. It'll scare you to death if I tell you, so we'll talk about it later. Let's deal with each matter one at a time. "
Xia Houming's face darkened. He was losing his patience and was about to fall out.
Shirō Makino looked at Xia Houming. "Can you be a little more patient? After all, you're the ones who wanted to kill me. Although I didn't suffer any physical damage, my heart has been greatly hurt. I need to vent. "
Xia Houming looked at Shirō Makino indifferently, still not saying anything.
"First, I didn't agree to your daughter's request because it's not the right time, even though I want to kill you scum.
But what I'm thinking is different from what you're thinking. I originally wanted to kill King Qi as well!
Throw you maggots in the dark, scum in the shadows into the sunlight and let them bask in the sun! "
Xia Houming frowned and looked down at the cigar in his hand.
"Hehe, don't be afraid. The scariest thing is yet to come. So, don't scare yourself. Calm down and listen."
Xia Houming continued to look at the cigar in his hand. He didn't even raise his head, but his hand was trembling.
He was angry.
"However, if I expose King Qi's secret, he will most likely rebel and take revenge on me. This is not something a child like me can bear. Besides, even His Majesty the Emperor would not want a former God of War to rebel. "
"So, I will not lift this lid for now. But don't doubt my ability and courage to do so. Just like how you still can't figure out how I know so many secrets. "
Xia Houming raised his head to look at Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino continued to look at him calmly. "Second, your organization has existed for so many years. Naturally, there is a reason for your existence. Although I don't want to admit it, it is the truth. I especially dislike the ideals of your organization. I hate the things you do. But how many of these things can I prevent by myself? "
"Without you, there will be others. Just like how you immediately found a new agent after Wang Er Mazi died, I can't kill all these scum. "
"Thus, even if there comes a day when I really do open this lid, it will be because I am opposing King Qi, not because of you minions. You don't deserve it. "
"Third, about the grudge between us."
Shirō Makino looked at the silent Xia Houming. "To be honest, those two Wang Er Mazi were courting death. As the boss of Hundred Flowers City, he had to use force to get his eyes on a woman. Don't you think it's embarrassing? People born as gangsters have a bad mindset. When you choose an agent in the future, please choose a smart one. Don't find an idiot like this. Otherwise, in the end, you will lose face and your money. "
"If it wasn't for that incident, I wouldn't have anything to do with you."
"As a high school student, what I should do right now is to study hard, get good scores in all kinds of competitions, and grow up quickly so that I can be a talent that is useful to the Imperium and the world, right?"
Right my ass!
The corner of Xia Houming's mouth twitched. He looked at Shirō Makino. You're not just a talent?
You're a freaking monster!
Luckily you're still young. Do you think that I won't kill you now just because you left some so-called backup plan?
Although I didn't intend to let you leave Liming City alive, but now, you might not even live to see tomorrow's sunrise!
As for Ziyue, I'll talk to her later.
I believe I can convince her to remove the curse on me.
Using a Curse Technique to curse himself, this child was really too foolish.
Although this little bastard's words are very unpleasant, he is right about one thing. I'm a failure as a father!
But as long as I kill you, all your so-called evidence will become slander!
You're right, the Emperor wouldn't dare to turn King Qi against him at this time.
After I kill you, I'll leak a portion of the news to the two Sun family members behind you. They'll also wet their pants in fear!
Only a crazy person would dare to get involved in this.
Even so, Shirō Makino still made Xia Houming gasp in amazement.
In his entire life, he had never even heard of such a monster, let alone seen one.
Today was truly an eye-opener.
"Is there a high school student like you?" He couldn't help but mutter. If he lived to my age, how terrifying would he be?
"There is, isn't there one in front of you? Besides, there are many high school students like me. If you haven't seen one, that's because you're not experienced enough. "Shirō Makino mercilessly attacked.
"Go on." Xia Houming smiled faintly.
He suddenly understood why this kid dared to come alone even though he knew they wanted to kill him.
It wasn't as simple as knowing some of their secrets.
That's f * cking fearless!
But he was still too young!
He thought that the way the world operated was driven by logic and reason.
But it was never like that!
The energy source that drove the world … was profit!
In the face of profit, everything else was bullshit!
They had to obediently give way!
Otherwise, they would be mercilessly crushed!
Your existence has already affected the profits of countless people.
You won't be able to live for long!
How naive!
You want to go up against King Qi one day? You?
No matter how monstrous you are, you aren't worthy!
No one would even dare to joke like this!
Later … I have to properly interrogate him. How did this kid know all this?
Not to mention anything else, this ability is a little too frightening!
"So look, I caused you to lose tens of billions in Hundred Flowers City, but you deserved it. You ran into it yourself. It was clearly your fault, but you have no reason to be calculative with a kid. You're too narrow-minded. You still want to kill me? Why? I'm the victim, okay? I feel like my soul has been severely damaged. As for compensation, we'll talk about it later. "
(□ □ ′) (□ □ ′) (□ □ ━ □
Xia Houming: You're not done?
I'll have to flip two tables before it's enough!
"Fourth, here's the main point. This is really the main point! Please listen carefully. "
Shirō Makino smiled, looking especially happy. "As for your daughter, Xiahou Ziyue, aren't you curious why she became like this?"
"Why?" Although Xia Houming was forcefully controlling his urge to turn hostile, he still couldn't help but ask.
"You'll be scared to death if I tell you!" Shirō Makino looked at him. "Because your daughter colluded with the Protoss. Hahaha."
"Pfft!" Xia Houming burst out laughing. Fortunately, he didn't drink any water, or he would have spat it out. This was too embarrassing for someone of his status.
He looked at Shirō Makino as if he was looking at an idiot.
"You don't believe me, right? I don't believe it either. How can it be so fun? But after I finish talking to you, I hope you can still smile as handsome as me … no, you'll never be able to smile as handsome as me. "Shirō Makino was overjoyed.
Hu!
Xia Houming's smile instantly disappeared, and he looked coldly at Shirō Makino. "How much longer do you want to spout nonsense?"
Shirō Makino wasn't afraid in the slightest. He laughed coldly and shrugged. "Don't give me that. I even know that King Qi is the boss behind the scenes. Do you think I would lie to you about this?"
Xia Houming sneered, his face full of disdain, "Evidence."
Shirō Makino shook his head. "I don't have any."
"You …"
Shirō Makino glanced at him. He estimated that Xia Houming was about to explode. He stretched out his hands and gestured for Xia Houming to calm down. "Sit down. Calm down. The evidence is with your daughter."
Xia Houming was so angry that he laughed. "Am I that gullible?"
Shirō Makino looked at him and said, "You're the main reason why your daughter became like this. She started to change when she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, right? "
Xia Houming was furious. "She really did tell you a lot."
Shirō Makino continued, "At that time, you must have thought that it was just the rebellious behavior of a teenage girl. In fact, she had already contacted the Protoss at that time. Of course, she doesn't even know about it. "
"Hehe." Xia Houming laughed angrily.
Previously, he only thought that this little thing was a monster with a vicious mouth and a terrible person. He didn't expect this kid to be so good at telling stories.
He looked at Shirō Makino coldly and thought to himself, "You're lying. Keep lying, the rounder the better!
You're too much of a liar!
My daughter doesn't know about it, but you do?
Are you a god?
No one in this world would dare to have anything to do with the Protoss. Even King Qi didn't dare to take on this responsibility!
If this matter were to spread out, not to mention him, even his elder brother and his entire family would be wiped out in a single night!
My daughter has something to do with the Protoss!
Shirō Makino didn't care about Xia Houming's attitude. He said calmly, "Before I came here, I found out that your daughter's illness was most likely caused by herself. You should know this, right?"
Xia Houming looked at Shirō Makino mockingly, "I know this, but what does this have to do with the Protoss?"
Shirō Makino's eyes were calm as he said lightly, "After I came here, I talked to her twice. She's too naive. Perhaps I'm the first outsider that she's truly interacted with alone."
Xia Houming still had a mocking look on his face, "That's right, she hasn't interacted with any outsiders before.
In her heart, there's no good person in your family. And I … I'm a good young man who doesn't associate with you. Naturally, I'm a good person. "Shirō Makino said confidently.
Xiahou Ming was infuriated and somewhat embarrassed. He sneered and said, "Yes, please continue."
He had already secretly sent a message to a few of his powerful subordinates. They could rush in at any time!
Now, he wanted to see what kind of tricks this little bastard could come up with.
"She's never interacted with the outside world, so she was completely defenseless against me. She even told me about the curse spells she learned on the Internet. At that time, I only had one thought. Which idiot would teach such a powerful spell to others on the Internet? "
Xia Houming agreed with this.
Shirō Makino continued, "So I asked to see the curse spells. I already suspected that this matter had something to do with the Protoss!"
Actually, it was Big Beauty who reminded Shirō Makino that Xiahou Ziyue's symptoms didn't seem to be caused by the curse spells. Instead, it was similar to the reaction of a soul control spell.
However, Shirō Makino couldn't say that it was the artificial intelligence that he carried with him who found out. He could only give the credit to himself.
He felt a little embarrassed.
Big Beauty couldn't be reckless when searching for information. In addition, she was timid to begin with. It wasn't that she couldn't enter many places, but she didn't dare to enter them easily.
That was why she missed out on the connection between Xiahou Ziyue and her so-called master.
"After I saw the curse spells, I can finally be 100% sure that the person your daughter has been in love with all these years, even faking her death to escape from her family... is a Protoss. To be precise, it's a Protoss hidden in our human world!"
Xia Houming curled his lips, his face full of disdain.
He was just short of clapping his hands and praising, "Child, if you can survive, go write a script in the future. Write, direct, and act it yourself. You're so pretty and talented. You'll definitely be famous! "
Shirō Makino ignored his mockery. His calm face finally revealed a cold smile. He said calmly, "Because it's not a curse spell at all. It's a type of soul control spell!"
"Have you heard of it? If you haven't, find a time to look it up. "
"It's fine if you're uncultured and ignorant."
"There's a lot of information about the Protoss on the internet. You can learn more about it. What exactly is the soul control spell?"
Xia Houming sneered. He thought to himself, "As if I'd believe you!
This little bastard is clearly lying to me! He's just scaring me!
Colluding with the Protoss my ass?
What kind of soul control spell is that?
I've never heard of it! "
"I'll look it up now!" he said in a low voice.
"Go ahead." Shirō Makino smiled and nodded.
Xia Houming directly used his personal AI to open the internet and quickly looked it up.
His expression changed from disdain to a serious frown. Then, his tense face turned frosty, and finally, his eyes were filled with shock.
The entire process took less than three minutes.
"This, this is impossible." He raised his head and suddenly glared at Shirō Makino. "You're lying to me!"
Shirō Makino shrugged and raised his eyebrows. "Just take it that I'm lying to you."
Xia Houming instantly had a dejected look on his face as he sat on the sofa in a daze.
He couldn't accept that this was true!
Shirō Makino could lie to him, but the vast amount of information on the internet wouldn't lie to him.
He just didn't understand it in the past. In fact, many elementary school students could tell some of the special abilities and characteristics of the Protoss.
To put it bluntly, the soul control spell was one of the many spells of the Protoss that could be cast from afar. It wasn't a secret at all.
At this moment, Xia Houming seemed to have aged a few decades. Even his straight back seemed to have become a little hunched.
He was no longer in the mood to see what the soul control spell would do.
Instead, he looked at Shirō Makino and asked in a hoarse voice, "My daughter … can she still be saved?"
This person was quite interesting. At a time like this, his first question was about his own daughter.
"Yes." Shirō Makino nodded.
Xia Houming heaved a sigh of relief and asked again, "If we don't save her … what will happen to her?"
"What do you think will happen? From the moment your daughter fell into a deep sleep, her soul would have been completely controlled! She will become the puppet of the Protoss! She will no longer have her own thoughts. Everything she says and does will be the will of the Protoss. Simply put, she will be possessed. Do you understand? "Shirō Makino said.
"In addition, I've already given all the evidence about the relationship between your daughter and the Protoss to my AI. So please don't worry. If I don't contact her for more than a day, she will automatically release this information on the internet."
What do you mean by 'please don't worry' …
Are you even talking like a human?
Why don't you just die?
My daughter … she's a victim!
Xia Houming's hands were trembling.
Shirō Makino said calmly, "You think the incident with King Qi is nothing? As long as I'm dead, someone can release evidence and say it's slander. Yes, he should have the ability to do so. "
"But what about your family? Does your family have the same background as King Qi? Think about it, if the news spreads on the internet, won't your family become famous? The kind that was extremely popular! The powerful mysterious organization behind you will probably come and destroy you at the first moment! "
"Is that so? I'm not wrong, right? So, don't try to be clever. I hate it when people try to be clever. "
"Of course, I can be clever."
Xia Houming:???
He stared blankly at Shirō Makino. Are you a f * cking devil?
"Hey, cheer up. You're a big shot!" Shirō Makino encouraged him.
"What do you want?" Xia Houming tried his best to maintain his dignity, but his twitching cheeks betrayed him.
"First of all, I've been targeted by you for no reason. I've been traumatized and traumatized. You have to compensate me! I won't cheat you. You don't have to pay for it. Let your Royal Highness, King Qi, pay for it. Isn't he the boss behind the scenes? He has plenty of money. Let him pay for it. "
"Can you save my daughter? I'll agree to anything you want!" Xia Houming looked at Shirō Makino and said in a hoarse voice.
"Let's put the matter of your daughter aside for now. Let's talk about compensation."
Shirō Makino waved his hand dismissively and said, "Have your superior contact King Qi and tell him to transfer 100 billion clean dollars to me. Remember, clean dollars. But I won't give him any guarantees. If he doesn't agree, I'll flip the table and expose all his secrets! And yours, too! "
"Ah?" Even though Xia Houming was a super-rich man, and even though the Xiahou family had more than 100 billion dollars in assets, he was still shocked silly.
"Sit down! Don't 'ah'! I'm not asking for 100 billion dollars. What are you 'ah' for? What's with all the fuss … "
Shirō Makino glanced at him. "Whether he gives it or not is his business. How I spend it, and whether I'll be alive to spend it, is my business. You don't have to worry about it."
Xia Houming felt like his world was about to collapse. A seventeen-year-old boy was sitting in front of him and talking with confidence.
He was directly threatening the biggest boss behind him … a prince of the empire, asking for … no, extorting 100 billion dollars!
Was he out of his mind?
Was he really crazy?
At this moment, he almost forgot that his daughter was related to the Protoss.
Shirō Makino smiled at him. "What we were talking about was compensation. Next, we'll settle the debt between us."
