Tan Xiu secretly sneered inwardly, but he deliberately showed an angry look on the surface and said in a deep voice, "I'll reconsider it as long as you can find the bastard who shot the video. Ruining the reputation of my Magnificent Tang Corp and exposing the agreement between us is simply outrageous! "
Jezek looked ecstatic. He was sure that he could find the bastard who shot the video. As long as someone shot the video, there would definitely be some clues left behind. What were werewolves good at? Naturally, they were good at tracking, and they could get some unexpected results just by smelling the scent.
Of course.
He didn't make such a reckless decision because he still had a card up his sleeve, which was to buy intel. The intel of the Darkwind organization was absolutely terrifying. If he really couldn't find the person who shot the video, then he would buy it from the Darkwind organization.
A few minutes later.
Jezek left the Magnificent Tang Corp's HQ with satisfaction. He didn't notice that at the window of the conference room where he had just met with Tan Xiu, Tan Xiu was watching him leave with a sneer on his face.
At 10 PM.
When Tan Xiu just returned to South Gate Town, he saw his mother, Su Lingyun, with Andy holding her arm. The two of them were chatting happily while walking toward the villa complex. Furthermore, they were carrying a lot of things in their hands as if they had just finished shopping.
Honk, honk …
After blowing the horn, Tan Xiu parked the car near them. He opened the door and smilingly said, "I heard you went to the Imperial Capital, Mom. When did you come back?"
Upon seeing Tan Xiu, Su Lingyun immediately looked pleasantly surprised and smilingly said, "I heard you went back to Star City, so I hurried back and only arrived in the evening. I wanted to call you, but I bumped into Andy. She said that you went to the Magnificent Tang Corp and seemed to be busy, so I didn't call you. Anyways, Xiu, you should be staying in Star City for some time this time, right? "
"I'll be staying in Star City for a while if there's no accident," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Get in the car, Mom, Andy!"
"Alright!"
After Su Lingyun and Andy got into the car, they soon arrived home. However, before the mother and son could speak more than a few words, a woman who was responsible for guarding South Gate Town and protecting his mother quickly rushed to the living room.
"What did you say? Duanmu Lin? "
Tan Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised. Although he had guessed that Duanmu Lin would come to find him, he didn't expect him to come so soon. It had only been a few hours since the video was released. Could it be that Duanmu Lin was in Star City or in a nearby city?
Immediately after.
Tan Xiu personally went out to greet him. Upon seeing Duanmu Lin coming with two bottles of Gods Nectar, he immediately forced a smile and said, "Senior Duanmu, why did you bring wine when you came? I don't have a lot of other things here, but the Gods' Nectar can definitely fill your stomach! "
"I know you have a lot of Gods Nectar here. Who told this wine to be produced by your family?" Duanmu Lin smilingly said. "But I'm afraid I won't have a supper tonight if I don't bring some wine here!"
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing. After inviting Duanmu Lin to the villa, he waited for his mother, Su Lingyun, to exchange greetings with Duanmu Lin and then hurried to the kitchen. He and Duanmu Lin then went to the study room on the second floor.
"Tell me, what did you do this time, Kid?"
Duanmu Lin sat on the sofa and looked at Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
Tan Xiu rubbed his hands and grinned. "Hehe, it seems I can't escape your eyes no matter what I do, Senior Duanmu! It's nothing serious, actually. It's just that my friend, Long Zhengyu, was seriously injured by the Harbo Group's people from the M Country. I did something in the middle, but I won't tell you the details. In short, they fought. The Harbo Group's people suffered heavy losses, and the other companies are also having a hard time. I think you should be aware of what happened in Star City with your ability, Senior Duanmu, right? "
"I know a bit about it, but I don't know what will happen next," said Duanmu Lin with a smile.
"The reason you came to Star City in person should be because of the appearance of the Werewolf in that video, Senior Duanmu," said Tan Xiu. "I can tell you without reservation that the Stygian Club is behind the Harbo Group and the Dandelion Group, whereas the Pyramid is behind the other company. Both of them are in conflict, and it may even be a conflict between the three forces, so I decided to add fuel to the fire and make these forces fight each other all over the world."
Duanmu Lin was shaken inwardly and asked in a deep voice, "What happened in China?"
"The matter in China has come to an end." Tan Xiu shook his head.
Duanmu Lin immediately felt relieved after hearing it. But then, he looked curious and asked, "You want the Stygian Club and the Pyramid to fight? For what? "
"Don't you think that the weakening of foreign forces will only bring benefits to our country, Senior Duanmu?" asked Tan Xiu calmly.
"I can't see any benefits or disadvantages, but I can see that you must have some purpose behind it." Duanmu Lin let out a faint smile. "Can you tell me about it to satisfy my curiosity?"
Tan Xiu pondered for a while and said, "Senior Duanmu, the Stygian Club has been committing all kinds of crimes for so many years and has committed countless crimes that have angered both humans and gods. They also have a deep grudge against my Tang Sect. I'll get rid of this organization if I get the chance. At the very least, many people will suffer less from their persecution. I'm afraid that the Pyramid isn't a good organization since there are all kinds of cultivators in it. I'll need to compete with them if I want to get more resources. Hence, I won't take the initiative to attack them, but I'll fan the flames and make them fight each other. It'll be interesting if I can get some benefits from it. "
"Do you have any goals for the future, Tan Xiu?" Duanmu Lin squinted his eyes and asked.
Tan Xiu straightly got up from the sofa and stood in front of Duanmu Lin. He cupped his fists and said, "Senior Duanmu, I'm afraid it won't be a problem for you to live for another 100 years given your strength. My goal is to become an Immortal and ascend to the Immortal World. This is the ultimate pursuit of us cultivators. If … I'm just saying if … I and the Tang Sect's disciples ascend to the Immortal World decades later, I'll need your help to take care of my family and friends on Earth. "
Duanmu Lin abruptly got up with incredulity in his eyes. "Ascend to become an Immortal? Are you kidding me, Tan Xiu? Even if your cultivation speed is very fast, it's impossible for you to ascend to the Immortal World in a few decades, no? Even if you can, you'll ascend to the Immortal World by yourself. Do you think you can take away all the cultivators of the Tang Sect? "
"I can."
Replied Tan Xiu in a deep voice.
Duanmu Lin shuddered and clenched his fists instantly. Then, he hurriedly asked, "Tan Xiu, I may not be a cultivator, but I do have some skills. Since you can take the Tang Sect's disciples to ascend to the Immortal World, then … can you take me too?"
"Are you sure?" asked Tan Xiu with a strange expression.
"I'm 100% sure." Duanmu Lin firmly nodded.
"You're the Director of the Special Abilities Bureau, a heavyweight figure indispensable to the country. Can you really let go of the people and things left on Earth if you leave with me?" asked Tang Xiu. Also, you must be at least at the Spirit Formation Stage if you want to ascend to the Immortal World with me. Given your current strength, let alone a Spirit Formation Stage expert, you can't even compare to a Golden Core Stage expert, can you? "
Duanmu Lin's expression turned stiff. Then, he forced a wry smile and nodded. "I can let go of the people and things on Earth. I'm already very old, after all, and there won't be many people and things I'll miss in a few decades. But it's the cultivation requirement that stumps me. "
Tan Xiu nodded and smilingly said, "That's why you should put away your worries and do what you need to do to enjoy your old age!"
"Something's not right!"
Duanmu Lin suddenly interjected. "Something's not right, Tan Xiu. As far as I know, most of the Tang Sect's disciples are at the Foundation Establishment Stage. There's still the Golden Core Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage to break through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Spirit Formation Stage. I believe that your cultivation speed is very fast, but their cultivation speed shouldn't be that fast, right? If they can't break through to the Spirit Formation Stage by then, does that mean they can't ascend to the Immortal World with you? "
"Senior Duanmu, this is the main reason why I schemed against the Stygian Club, the Pyramid, and the other forces in the dark," said Tan Xiu. "I want to snatch resources from them. Only with huge resources as my backing can my people keep breaking through and eventually break through to the Spirit Formation Stage. Of course, if they haven't broken through to the Spirit Formation Stage by the time I ascend to the Immortal World, they won't be able to leave with me. "
Duanmu Lin's eyes lit up. Tan Xiu's explanation suddenly gave him hope and he hurriedly said, "Can I become a cultivator, Tan Xiu? I'm willing to start from scratch! "
"That's not a problem, of course." Tan Xiu nodded. "It's just that you're a bit old and it'll be very difficult for you to break through to the Spirit Formation Stage. Unless … "
"Unless what?" asked Duanmu Lin hurriedly.
"Unless you can get a lot of cultivation resources and completely pile them up," said Tan Xiu. "But the drawback is also very serious. It's almost impossible for you to break through in the future."
Duanmu Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to see the legendary Immortal World. I didn't dare to imagine it before, but I believe you won't lie to me. So I'll be satisfied even if I can break through to the Spirit Formation Stage. After all, I'll be countless times stronger than I am now. "
"I can teach you a cultivation technique, but you must give me a guarantee that you can only cultivate it by yourself and not give it to others," said Tan Xiu.
"I give you my word!"
Replied Duanmu Lin with a straight face.
Tan Xiu slowly nodded. After sitting back on the sofa, he lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs. Then, he said, "We'll discuss the specific details later. Let's talk about the matter at hand now."
