"I'm a particular person, and I'm very clear about public and private matters!" Shirō Makino emphasized.
Xia Houming raised his head and looked at Shirō Makino with a complicated gaze.
At this moment, his heart was in a mess. It was only because of his many years of experience that he was able to maintain his composure.
Our family … How could we have anything to do with a Protoss?
Damn it, aren't Protoss supposed to be very powerful?
Why don't you go and f * ck the Imperial Family instead?
Do they have nothing better to do?
Is my daughter that outstanding?
She's just a weak, innocent, and kind little girl. How much of a beast do you have to be to bully her?
Furthermore …
Why did this little b * stard find out?
Why?
Xia Houming felt like vomiting blood.
He was already prepared to be extorted by Shirō Makino.
Just now, several of his trusted subordinates had sent him messages, but he didn't even look at them.
This damned bastard, how did he do it?
Who is he?
He's a monster!
He's a demon!
He's extremely handsome?
Alright, that's not important.
Extremely intelligent!
Crazy!
Extremely calm and rational.
He's audacious and thick-skinned … Damn it, he's shameless!
He's definitely a lunatic!
He knew everything, and he used words to block all of Xia Houming's words!
Extorting 100 billion from a powerful Imperial Prince, if he's not a lunatic, what is?
Even if I give you the money, do you have the life to spend it?
However, these thoughts only flashed past Xia Houming's mind.
At this moment, his heart was completely occupied by one word – Protoss!
How could his daughter have anything to do with a Protoss?
Is this kid lying to me?
There's a lot of messy news on the internet, and those news might not be true.
Even now, Xia Houming still had a sliver of hope in his heart.
Shirō Makino looked at Xia Houming's gloomy eyes and suddenly smiled. "Actually, a bad person like you can definitely think of a solution, right?"
Xia Houming was startled for a moment before he flew into a rage. "Bullshit!"
"Relax, don't be nervous, I didn't even say anything, why are you scolding me?" Shirō Makino curled his lips, a little unhappy.
Xia Houming really wanted to curse out loud. How the f * ck could he relax?
And you little bastard, aren't you trying to say that as long as I kill my daughter, everything will be over? Bullsh * t! I would rather kill everyone who knows about this than kill my own daughter! That wasn't something a f * cking human would do! Bastard, damn it!
Seeing Xia Houming's reaction, Shirō Makino was finally reassured. There was no need for the Grandmaster Summoner to appear immediately!
Sure enough, it wasn't a beast. His eyes weren't playing tricks on him.
Otherwise, it would really be a little troublesome, because that was the only loophole!
Very good, Mr. Xiahou, this bad guy with integrity, helped to block it himself.
"Tell me, I'll give you whatever you want." Xia Houming looked at Shirō Makino and said in a low voice.
Shirō Makino smiled warmly. "When we were discussing the consultation fee, do you know why I tripled the price?"
Xia Houming raised his head slowly and frowned slightly. Then, he seemed to have thought of something.
Since this kid had even uncovered their secrets, what else was there that he didn't know?
"Are you talking about the financial management fee of your partner's wife?"
"Mr. Xiahou is indeed very smart."
Shirō Makino praised him. "That money was cleanly laundered by your good nephew and flowed into the account of someone close to you. In the end, it ended up in the pocket of your wise and mighty brother, the mayor, right?"
Xia Houming sighed and nodded lightly.
Since things had come to this, there was really no need to deny it.
"Spit it out, three times the original price," Shirō Makino said.
"Alright!" Xia Houming immediately nodded.
It wasn't a small amount of money, but it was nothing when it came to the survival of the entire Xiahou family.
"That was the reason why I tripled the consultation fee. But at that time, I really didn't know that your family was so powerful that they even had a relationship with the Protoss. "Shirō Makino clicked his tongue in admiration.
"My family has nothing to do with the Protoss!"
Xia Houming growled. He raised his head and looked at Shirō Makino with a serious expression. "Our family was once glorious! Since the ancient times of the Milky Way Galaxy, there have been many famous figures! In the war eight thousand years ago, many of our ancestors shed blood and sacrificed their lives. Don't think that you're the only one who hates the Protoss. They are also our enemies! "
"They are the enemies of all mankind," Shirō Makino said calmly.
Xia Houming vented a few words and gradually calmed down. He looked at Shirō Makino and said, "Young Master Bai, if you have any requests, please continue. As long as you can cure my daughter's illness, as long as you can keep this a secret, you can raise any conditions. "
"That's all." Shirō Makino smiled.
"In any case, as long as it's not …" Xia Houming said subconsciously, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Shirō Makino in disbelief. "What did you say?"
"I said, that's all." Shirō Makino shrugged. "I asked you to prepare the talisman materials for me, and you prepared them. I asked for half of the payment in advance, and you paid for it. I asked for three billion, and you agreed. You've done well. I'm a very principled person, and I'll never force people to do anything they don't want. So, that's all. "
Xia Houming was a little dumbfounded. He sat there and stared at Bai Muye dumbfoundedly. He held the cigar that he hadn't smoked and unconsciously rubbed it in his hand.
After a while, he raised his head and smiled bitterly. "Young Master Bai, please make some requests."
"Why? Are you afraid that my appetite is too big? "Shirō Makino asked with a smile.
Xia Houming was silent and didn't answer.
In fact, he wasn't an ordinary person, and he wasn't a child.
He wasn't that naive!
How could there be such a good thing in this world?
The life and death of the clan was in his hands, but he didn't make any requests. Was that reasonable?
"Then I'll continue … You see, under normal circumstances, you can't keep this a secret, so you have to report it later."
Shirō Makino looked at Xia Houming with such a sincere expression that Xia Houming really wanted to stab him to death.
"I don't care how I know these secrets, but to King Qi, it must be your Xia Houming Clan's fault!"
"You're in charge of Li Ming City and the third rank cities under it, and such a big thing happened in your territory."
Shirō Makino smiled. "When this matter comes to an end, do you think King Qi will let you go?"
Xia Houming looked at the relaxed Shirō Makino, and his emotions were incomparably complicated.
If he could, he wouldn't hesitate to kill this young man. If that could end everything, he would definitely do it.
Even if he had to die together, he, Xia Houming, wouldn't frown!
But that wouldn't do!
This was a terrifying young demon. It was simply too frightening!
He had already thought of all that Shirō Makino was saying.
But this wasn't a big deal!
A hundred billion … he could settle it himself!
This huge sum of money would indeed bankrupt the Xiahou Clan.
But at most, they would go bankrupt.
As long as they were alive, there would always be a chance to make a comeback!
No matter what, he couldn't let this matter reach His Highness's ears.
Wasn't it just a hundred billion?
It didn't matter, the Xiahou Clan would pay for it!
He wouldn't even let this matter get out of Li Ming City. He couldn't give those above a chance to bootlick him!
When the time came, his clan would suffer such a huge loss and suffer such grievances.
Would the higher-ups not compensate him at all?
Definitely not!
When the time came, he only needed to leak some information to the higher-ups. For example …
The reason the Xiahou Clan is using a hundred billion to settle this matter is because Shirō Makino somehow heard that our organization is related to His Highness. For His Highness's reputation …
See, that's enough!
At that time, there would be countless people fighting to kill Bai Muye to silence him!
There would also be countless people fighting to give compensation to the Xiahou Clan!
Because sooner or later, this matter would reach His Highness's ears.
When that time came, what position would the Xiahou Clan have in His Highness's heart?
For the sake of His Highness, they would rather suffer grievances and go bankrupt than to keep this secret!
What was merit?
This was it!
And it was a huge merit!
It would be great if things were really that simple.
How could a little brat fight against an old man like him?
But why … did my precious daughter … have a relationship with the Protoss?
The information he had just read was completely consistent with his daughter's reaction all these years!
He wasn't a person who trusted others easily, but who knew his own daughter better than he did?
So he knew that what Shirō Makino said was true!
What did it mean to fail at the last moment?
What did it mean to collapse a snowy mountain?
Xiahou Ming could truly feel it now.
Shirō Makino had made it very clear, and he understood it very well in his heart.
Once this matter was spread on the internet, even if it was only in Li Ming City, his entire clan … would be completely ruined!
Those traces could not be erased!
He worshiped the Protoss to death.
His daughter was also a victim?
Who would believe that?
The Soul Manipulation Technique could not succeed unless it was done willingly!
Heh, the daughter of the Xiahou Clan in Li Ming City willingly sacrificed herself to the Protoss … This would cause a sensation in the world!
There was no need for the higher-ups to do anything. The hundreds of millions of angry people in Li Ming City could drown the entire Xiahou Clan with just a spit from each of them!
So if they wanted to solve this matter, the root of the problem was this young man. As long as he didn't say anything, there was still a chance of survival.
The fate of the entire Xiahou Clan was in his hands!
Why didn't he want anything?
Was there a need for it?
It was obvious that he wanted the snake to swallow the elephant.
The elephant would have to chop itself up and feed itself carefully, for fear that the snake would die from bloating …
Xiahou Ming's mind spun rapidly. He understood everything.
He just couldn't accept it!
So many years of hard work had gone down the drain in one night.
Who was more deceptive than Xiahou Ziyue?
"Young Master Bai, I beg you, save the life of my Xiahou Clan. I represent the Xiahou Clan in Li Ming City and am willing to submit to Young Master. From now on, I will be at your beck and call."
Xiahou Ming sighed heavily in his heart. He stood up from the sofa and was about to kneel.
Shirō Makino sat there and looked at him calmly. He didn't stop him.
Xiahou Ming: "…"
At this moment, he completely understood how big this game of chess was!
How ruthless the counterattack was.
What extortion of 100 billion from King Qi?
Bullsh * t!
He was f * cking extorting the entire Xiahou Clan of Li Ming City!
He was just a wimpy brat. He dared to provoke King Qi?
To think that he kept mocking him previously.
Damn it, I, Xiahou Ming, am the real idiot!
Discontent?
Not convinced?
Unwilling? Like hell I'll be willing!
But my life is in the hands of others. So what if I am unwilling? So what if I am unwilling?
At this moment, Xiahou Ming was completely disheartened.
What regret, what failure to recognize Mount Tai … all these thoughts were gone.
His knees went soft, and he was about to kneel in front of Shirō Makino.
"Enough. You're an overlord, after all. You're already so old. There was no need to put on such a superficial act. Of course, if you really admire me and want to kneel, I can't stop you. After all, I'm not as strong as you. "
Xiahou Ming: "…"
He stood there and looked at Shirō Makino. He wondered if he could just disregard everything and beat Shirō Makino to death.
"Sigh, alright, alright. Just do it. I'm so young. If you really kneel, I'm afraid my lifespan will be shortened. I'm most afraid of you adults playing this trick. And to be honest, I did understand your clan beforehand. Although none of you are good people, you've always done things sloppily. At the very least, you're much better than people like Wang Er Mazi! "
The corner of Xiahou Ming's mouth twitched. "Is that a compliment?"
Shirō Makino looked at Xiahou Ming. "Think about it first … how to make good use of this matter to deal a harsh blow to your boss, King Qi."
You want me to prove my loyalty so soon?
Xiahou Ming sighed in his heart and said gloomily, "You have a grudge against King Qi?"
"Grudge?" Shirō Makino smiled. "Can I trust you?"
Xiahou Ming: "Then don't say it."
"No, I'll say it. Otherwise, you'll be scared in the future." Shirō Makino smiled and nodded. "Yes, there's a grudge! A deep grudge. The kind that won't rest until one of us is dead. "
Xiahou Ming: "…"
Is it too late for me to regret?
Go against King Qi?
Is there a big difference between this and the Xiahou Family being related to the Protoss?
Maybe a little, but it's really not!
If it's related to the Protoss, die now.
If it offends King Qi, die later.
Isn't this drinking poison to quench thirst?
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Is this retribution for what the Xiahou Family has done all these years?
He can't see through this young man at all!
He originally thought that Xiang Zhuang's sword move was aimed at King Qi, but in reality, it was aimed at the Xiahou Family.
In the end, it was true that Xiang Zhuang wanted to devour the Xiahou Family, but to go after King Qi … it wasn't fake either!
That's how reckless he is!
That's how wild he is!
What kind of master did I end up with?
What kind of fate do I have?
Can I still regret it?
I really regret it!
If I knew that he was a monster, a disaster, why would I provoke him?
Although it's too late to regret it now, it's meaningless.
Regret was something he despised the most, but he still had to say it!
I really regret it!
I really regret it!
"What did you guys arrange before? After I cure your daughter, your people will kill me on the way back, right? "Shirō Makino suddenly changed the topic.
Xiahou Ming shook his head in a daze, then took a deep breath and said, "Right here."
"Hm?" Shirō Makino furrowed his brows.
"The one you mentioned is the first plan on the surface. This is usually the first choice, and it will be passed on through our internal network. Young Master must have received this information as well. "Xiahou Ming sighed and said.
He thought back to how he had been talking and laughing when he had set up a trap for Xiang Zhuang, and how confident he had been.
He had felt that it would be too easy to deal with a brat from a third rank city!
Now that he thought about it, he felt like a joke.
Xiahou Ming looked at Shirō Makino and said, "But we never use the first plan. Instead, we use the second or third plan. We use the most ancient method to pass it on. Although the internal network is safe, there are too many geniuses on it. Who knows if something unexpected will happen? For example, this time. "
As Xiahou Ming spoke, his expression became even more bitter.
"The most ancient method?" Shirō Makino was confused.
"Letters." Xiahou Ming said.
See, there are no fools in this world!
Just when you think you have everything under control, something unexpected will still happen.
So, no one should think that they are the smartest person in the world!
There will always be situations that you can't predict.
"Amazing!" Bai Muye praised from the bottom of his heart. Then, he asked, "But why your house?"
"The reason is simple."
Xiahou Ming seemed to have calmed down a little, and his speech became more normal. "In recent years, a large number of people with different intentions have appeared in the organization here in Liming City, as well as within our family. I had planned to use this opportunity to get rid of them …"
Shirō Makino sucked in a breath of cold air. Attacking his own family?
You treat your own daughter well!
How ruthless!
This way, it would give people the impression that the Xiahou family had suffered heavy casualties —
After paying a huge price, they had finally gotten rid of the people who had caused so much damage to the organization.
It had to be said that even if many people could think of such a method, they would not easily use it.
It was too ruthless!
Could this be considered a dog biting another dog?
It seemed possible.
Shirō Makino nodded. "Alright, then let's continue according to this script …"
Xiahou Ming frowned slightly and looked at Shirō Makino in confusion. "Continue like this?"
"Yes, continue like this. This way, we can get you out of the picture," Shirō Makino said.
"Thank you for your understanding, Young Master." Xiahou Ming sighed in his heart. He was convinced and had nothing else to say.
"Oh yes, your organization wants to deal with me. Do you have any higher-ups who know about it?"
Xiahou Ming shook his head. "There wasn't. It was enough for me to know. At that time, my only thought was to get rid of you, Young Master."
Shirō Makino was all smiles. (* ^ - ^ *)
What the hell was he smiling for!
Xiahou Ming glanced at Shirō Makino and swallowed. He was afraid that he would accidentally spit on Shirō Makino's face.
After a while, he said, "The person who decided to kill you, Young Master, was the leader of the organization in Baiyue City."
Baiyue was one of the thirty-six main cities of Feixian.
The leader of the organization in Baiyue City had a rather high status.
He was one of the thirty-six elders of their organization on Feixian Planet.
When something happened to Hundred Flowers City, the first person to bear the brunt of it was naturally Liming City. However, the one who really had to bear the responsibility was the elder of Baiyue City.
Zhao Lu would never let him go to the Feixian Council for something like this.
It was the same for everyone. If they had covered it up, Xiahou Ming would not have let this matter spread to Baiyue City!
Although the loss of tens of billions was a huge amount, they could still afford it.
Once the news got out, there would certainly be more powerful people who would intervene. However, they would not be able to get rid of the label of incompetence.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Ming finally calmed down a little. His heart was boiling with anger.
Who was in charge of Hundred Flowers City?
Deputy City Lord Wang …
And who was the one who reported this matter to Elder Zhao Lu?
My good nephew, you must be tired after pretending to be weak and incompetent for so many years, right?
You are good, all of you are good!
What a beautiful stab!
"In other words, the elder of Baiyue City already knows about this matter, and asked you to deal with it. To get rid of me as soon as possible … right? "Shirō Makino asked.
"Yes." Xiahou Ming nodded.
Shirō Makino thought for a moment, then said, "How is your relationship with the elder of Baiyue City?"
Xiahou Ming said, "Not really good, but not bad either. She is an elder sent by the organization recently, and we are not familiar with her. However, this person is very greedy. As long as there is a chance, she will not let go of any opportunity to make money. "
"What is her name?" Shirō Makino asked.
"Zhao Lu." Xiahou Ming said.
"A woman?"
"Yes, a woman. However, do not underestimate her. She is very vicious and has many tricks up her sleeve. She has not been here for long, and she has already dealt with a large number of people in Baiyue City. Many people who are disloyal to her have been dealt with by her. "
Xiahou Ming sighed. "What happened here was also leaked by our people who wanted to rely on her. She has not punished me yet, but she has not had the time to do so. "
Shirō Makino pondered. "Is there any way to get rid of her and replace her?"
"Get rid of her?" Xiahou Ming was shocked. He looked at Shirō Makino. "She is a super expert whose strength is incomparably close to that of a Martial Grandmaster! Unless … "
