It didn't matter whether they believed it or not. What was important was that they dared not to believe it.
There was a reason why they dared not to believe it. After all, the scene that Gao Qi had caused in City Number One was unforgettable to both Yang Xu and the people in City Number One.
The portal opened wide, and the demon god from another world appeared. Then, Rosarionovic threw two large nuclear bombs in the sky above City No. 1.
Just a little bit more and humanity would have ushered in the third Cataclysm ahead of time.
Destruction was always much easier than construction. This was reflected more clearly in Gao Qi's case. It was very difficult for him to save the world, but it was very easy for him to destroy it.
Now, City Number One had spent a lot of financial and material resources to finally hold a world-class event. It was as if the host wanted to treat the guests to a meal. There was good wine and good food on the table, but when the guests were about to arrive, Gao Qi came to the host and told him that if he wanted to treat the guests, he would have to satisfy his request first. Otherwise, he would flip the table.
In fact, Gao Qi planned to quietly tell Yang Xu and the butler that he would flip the table when the guests sat down to eat. However, because of Wang Ming Yuan, he brought forward the timing. As soon as the good wine and good food were placed on the table, a few important guests jumped out and threatened to flip the table before they were seated.
It was simply outrageous.
However, Gao Qi knew that he would definitely flip the table, because not only did he have the ability to flip the table, but he also had the ability to burn down the house.
Bernhard's death in City Number One was definitely not a small matter. There would definitely be a diplomatic dispute, and it was very likely that City Number One and Technology City would become enemies. However, the result of Bernhard's death in City Number One was at most flipping the table in City Number One.
However, if Gao Qi was really crazy and wanted to drag City No. 1 down with him or even the whole world down with him when he was not satisfied, then he would burn down the master's house, burning the master and the guests to death here.
Therefore, City Number One now had three choices.
First, agree to all of Gao Qi's requests and help Gao Qi kill Bernhard.
Second, he could directly kill Gao Qi, the uninvited guest, and then continue with the banquet.
Third, they could bet that Gao Qi would not burn down the house. Therefore, City No. 1 would not cooperate with them, but they would not kill Gao Qi either. This possibility was the biggest. For example, they could secretly inform Bernhard not to come to City No. 1, or they could use any other method to prevent Bernhard from dying. Then, they would not offend Gao Qi, which would be the best of both worlds.
Gao Qi had thought through all the details clearly, so he didn't hide the fact that he was blackmailing them.
Yang Xu, on the other hand, was a smart man. He only needed to think for a moment before he realized what Gao Qi wanted to do. He also understood the situation he was in.
"You, you, you can't do this …"
Yang Xu was helpless. Then, he tried to reason with Huo Shaoheng.
Gao Qi did not intend to reason with him because he realized that it was useless. Most importantly, he could blackmail the whole world and force everyone to listen to him. Why should he be so humble and try to reason with him?
If this was something else, it would be fine. However, this was a life-and-death situation. There was no reason to be polite.
"Why can't I do this? Why can't I do this? You know that I can destroy this world. Many people know that I have the ability to destroy this world. However, not only did you not give me enough respect, you even wanted to kill me. Why can't I drag this world down with me? "
Yang Xu quickly shook his head and said, "Master Huo, we have always respected you. Let's mind our own business. You see …"
"You took over Morning Dawn City's spaceship and prevented my brothers from bringing me back. You used the City Alliance's name to prevent me from coming back. Then, you watched Bernhard kill me without doing anything. Tell me, is this considered making an enemy out of me?"
Yang Xu was speechless. He tried to refute several times, but he did not know what to say.
Gao Qi waited for a moment. When he realized that Yang Xu could not say anything, he said, "Come, tell me. As someone who can control the fate of this world, why should I endure this kind of humiliation?"
Yang Xu took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "You won't do that, Master Huo. I believe that you have the ability to destroy City One. I even believe that you have the ability to destroy this city. However, you still have family and friends in this world. Can you bear to let them die with you? Huang Fei is in City One now. Han Ruofeng is also there. Oh, don't forget, your good brother Huang Fei's child is about to be born. Can you bear to drag them down with you? There's also Professor Su and many other people you care about. Can you bear to do that? "
Gao Qi shook his head. His action gave Yang Xu some hope.
However, Yang Xu's hope was immediately shattered.
"Bear to do that? Well, are you saying that I shouldn't have let them die eight years in advance? "
Yang Xu was speechless. Gao Qi said calmly, "I want to save this world, but I don't think it's necessary anymore. Anyway, humans are going to die, and they are going to die anyway. So, it's not a big deal if they die a few years in advance because of my revenge, right?"
After saying that, Gao Qi said calmly, "Don't try to pin me down with emotions. I'm completely disappointed in this world. To be honest, I'm already showing a lot of self-control by telling you this. Actually, I really, really want to destroy this world!"
Before Yang Xu could say anything, Wang Mingyuan said with a puzzled expression, "I knew you weren't right in the head, but why are we going to be destroyed in eight years?"
Gao Qi immediately said angrily, "Shut up! Don't make trouble now!"
Yang Xu looked very helpless. He also looked very helpless.
Gao Qi said without hesitation, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Right now, I just want to kill Bernhard. I don't have any other thoughts. But if you don't help me, don't blame me for being rude."
Yang Xu sighed and said, "Master Huo, this has nothing to do with us. If you want to take revenge on Bernhard, go to Technology City. Go directly to Bernhard!"
"Don't reason with me. Let's talk about strength. Do you agree or not? Just say it."
Gao Qi didn't want to talk nonsense. He didn't need to prove his strength now. He only needed to prove his determination. However, would Yang Xu dare to let him prove it?
It didn't matter if he proved it. The world would be destroyed. Who would dare to take that risk?
Finally, Yang Xu sighed and said, "How far do you want to go?"
"Bernhard must die!"
Yang Xu scratched his head and said to Gao Qi in a low voice, "This matter … This matter is too big. I definitely can't make the decision. I have to write a report and ask for instructions. Why don't you wait for me to ask for instructions before I give you an answer?"
