"Sheila, I'm begging you! This is a public place! Don't talk nonsense! The one negotiating with Lisheng is the representative of the village's National Farmers Union …"
"Isn't that a country bumpkin …?"
"Damn it, my dear. You're going to college soon. You should know that these guys have enough votes to elect a senator. Don't bring trouble to yourself and your family, okay?"
"You're too cautious, Trish, but I still want to thank your kind sister.
Then, Lisheng, how's the discussion between you and the representatives of the National Farmers Union in those villages and towns? "
"They still banded together to demand that I lower the price of the self-service slaughter in the future. They refused to budge. Let's not talk about these disappointing things.
I just received a piece of good news. The new New York Harbor is going to be built near Mutteslow. "
"The new New York Harbor is going to be built in Mutteslow!
You're really lucky, Lisheng. The land that you've acquired is worth a lot of money now. Even if the slaughterhouse is not doing well, you can still hire a few more people to convert the factory into a warehouse. You'll be able to earn at least a few million dollars in net profit every year.
This property is enough for you to truly gain a foothold in America's upper class. In fact, it's the same as a few hundred years ago. Only valuable land can truly be considered as a stable property. Congratulations. "
"Sheila, the so-called American upper class doesn't mean anything to me.
You Americans might never be able to understand my wish. " Zhang Lisheng blurted out calmly as he looked at the skyscrapers that symbolized the brilliant achievements of industrial civilization, the hundreds of thousands of dazzling billboards of all sizes, and the fashionable and modern people who were walking in a hurry.
"When you say Americans, does that include me?"
"Oh, Tina, I didn't mean that. I just … I just wanted to explain a cultural difference …
Oh yeah, speaking of which, I need to thank Mr. Howick for helping me build the slaughterhouse in Mutteslow. Trish, don't forget to send my regards to your dad. "
"Trish can't send this greeting. Our loyal Catholic female saint has not spoken to her father for a few days."
"Why?"
"For Walter's sake, Trish planned to ask Walter to be her date on our joint birthday party. Mr. Howick had a problem with that, so …"
"Walter?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned. "His brain has returned to normal?"
"No, I'm still drooling a little, but I can barely communicate with people …"
"Sheila, can you stop it?"
"I just want you to think it through, my dear. Sometimes emotions can't replace reality."
"If that's the case, why did you accompany me to the Amazon back then?"
"Damn it, you're just twisting words and forcing logic …"
"Sheila, Trish, don't talk about it anymore. Didn't we agree not to talk about this issue in the future and just let nature take its course?
In the end, no matter what decision Trish makes, I will support her. But after going to university, she should try to accept more feelings before making a decision … "
"Tina, what's the difference between you and Sheila …"
Unknowingly, the three girls began to argue softly. Zhang Lisheng, who was completely ignored, could only order a black pepper steak after the waiter served him a glass of Coke. He looked at the crowd on the street casually.
After he finished his steak and ordered a dessert, the girls, who were tired of chattering, finally remembered that there was a man beside them.
"I'm sorry, Lisheng. I've deliberately asked you to accompany me for lunch, but I've neglected you. You must understand that Trish and Sheila are my best sisters, so I must mediate when the two of them are quarreling …"
"Tina, you're not stopping them, you're arguing with us."
"Shut up, Sheila, I'm talking to Lisheng." Tina glared at Sheila but saw Zhang Lisheng, who was next to her, standing up all of a sudden. He said immediately, "Oh baby, are you angry?"
"No, I just saw an old friend by accident." Zhang Lisheng used his hand to play with the hair on his forehead and stared at a silhouette who was slightly hunched as he walked on the street. After moving his lips a few times silently, he said calmly, "Tina, aren't you, Trish and Sheila going to try on dresses in the afternoon?"
"Lisheng, can you go with me?" Tina asked while holding the young man's hand tightly with her woman's intuition.
"I have something to do first, I'll call you when I'm free later …" Zhang Lisheng struggled hard but he could not get rid of the girl's hand.
"No, I don't want you to leave."
"Tina, let go of me, now." The young man's gaze was calm but it gave people a chill in their organs when he looked at Tina. The girl's body trembled slightly as she let go of her hand slowly.
They had wasted a lot of time. Just when Zhang Lisheng was going to walk forward, he saw the hunched silhouette who was walking to the end of the fifth street that he had his eyes on and was about to turn was suddenly surrounded by four fashionable young men and women who looked like they were taking a casual stroll. They took him to a large SUV that was already waiting by the road.
Goosebumps rose on his back. "No wonder Mountain Cat didn't look for me for revenge after so long, he was … was … Who would use him as bait?
Who would use him as bait to lure me?!
Why would they go through so much trouble to get Mountain Cat to cooperate with them so obediently? Could it be those Darkwalkers or something? They're bound by a secret agreement? No, that's impossible, didn't Dr. Fracture attack me as well … "Zhang Lisheng mumbled to himself as he sat back on the chair.
Tina, who had already let go of the young man, could not help but sweep away the sadness on her face right away when she saw the grave expression on his face and how he could not say anything. All he did was to open and close his mouth and sit down again. "Stop apologizing, Lisheng. I'm not really angry, but I'm a little sad.
I could feel that you were going to do something dangerous just now. I stopped you for your own good.
We're not in the primitive jungle now, we're on the busiest street in New York. This is a world of law, you don't have to use those strange abilities to solve anything. "
As the girl was forgiving Zhang Lisheng because of the misunderstanding, Mountain Cat, who was kneeling in the middle of the large SUV that was arranged in a'T 'shape, was shrieking ferociously with a broken expression, "Aren't you righteous people the sharpest? Can't you see that there's wizard power lingering on that man's body?
You want to kill me when you catch me, you don't hold back at all. You need evidence to deal with a fake foreigner, I saw him using bugs to eat people with my own eyes, do you still need evidence?!
You … You hypocrites! Didn't you take in a corrupt criminal that I killed as a disciple of a b * stard … "
Upon hearing Mountain Cat's rude words even though he was about to die, a handsome middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the last row of the large SUV who had a gray Armani suit that made it look like a Taoist robe shouted in rage, "You're so stubborn, murderer! You're still trying to taint the name of humanity even at the end of your life!
"Didn't you say that the man would kill you without caring about the civilians as soon as he saw you? What happened in the end?
"Hmph, it's true that the man has a witchcraft inheritance but since he didn't show any evil intentions, we're being merciful by letting him live. That's being generous but you're saying such things. It's obvious that you're stubborn and hopeless. Die!"
The more the man spoke, the angrier he got. All of a sudden, he drew a line in the air with his finger. Then, a bright light flashed in the car and Mountain Cat's head and body were split into two. He slowly turned into a pile of frost and disappeared.
"He's just talking nonsense. There's no need for you to be so angry, Senior Brother," A middle-aged man with a square nose and a big mouth standing next to the man in white was stunned and said while chuckling.
"Why would I care about this cat that I already have? I'm angry that the man didn't take the bait even though we've spent so much effort to set this up …"
"You really hate evil, Senior Brother. Unfortunately, that Little Wizard is a real Westerner in terms of law. He even managed to gain a foothold in the United States with his crooked ways.
The Heavenly Dao Rules are different between China and the West. Since we're in the United States' territory, it's not good for us to attack him for no reason. We can only wait for another opportunity. "
"Sigh, Junior Brother, that man is already filled with pure black energy at such a young age. I'm just worried that it'll be hard to control him when he grows up. Otherwise, why would we spend so much effort just to kill a Little Wizard?"
"Haha … There are many geniuses in the world. Take these disciples in our carriage for example. Which one of them is weaker than that Little Wizard in terms of talent and ability? To put it bluntly, including the both of us, let alone shaking the general trend, which one of us could even be considered as having some weight in front of the general trend?"
The man in white was stunned for a moment and pondered carefully. All of a sudden, he let out a long sigh and said sincerely, "Junior Brother, you're really worthy of being the wisest person in our Human Dao in the past 200 years.
You've solved the obstacle in my heart with just one sentence. Sigh, I'm afraid I'll never have a chance with the Dao in my life with this temper of mine. I'm not going to benefit the sect at all. "
"What are you talking about, Senior Brother? Your abhorrence of evil and stubbornness is compatible with the Dao of human relations.
Not only that, your love for our Human Dao's junior disciples is even more obvious. You're undoubtedly the true mainstay of our sect, "the man with a square nose and a big mouth said. He shifted his gaze to a jade-like young man who had been staring blankly at the frost that Mountain Cat's body had turned into while sitting at the side of the carriage.
"Qing Yu, do you understand why your Master Uncle Duo Shan is protecting you?"
The young man was stunned as if he did not hear anything.
"Forget it, Junior Brother. Qing Yu is still a young man …"
"Senior Martial Brother, in order to avenge Qing Yu's family, you killed this evil cat three years ago. Ever since he managed to escape, you've been brooding over this matter. This time, you were invited by Grandmaster Shi Yongxin to come to Mi City, and you accidentally ran into this brat. Unexpectedly, you chased him for more than forty days before you finally succeeded.
This evil cat is weak, but he's good at escaping. Who would've thought that if you didn't experience it yourself … "
"Junior Brother, I said stop talking!" The man in white frowned and roared.
The middle-aged man with a square nose and a big mouth was stunned for a moment and sighed. "Senior Brother, why are you doing this? You've protected your disciples with all your might, but you're being misunderstood by them. Sigh …" He stopped talking and the SUV fell into silence.
