Soul Trigger

Chapter 192: Old Eight (I)

Gaoxing Group... ?
Ji Li stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the other party's entire dream world instantly fell still. However, Ji Li was aware of the spiritual fluctuations coming from the dream and realized that the other party was an awakened person.

Although it is only at the extraordinary level.

Seeing Ji Li's move, the man was shocked and a look of astonishment appeared on his face:
This ability... Domination? !

Then he reacted and broke free from the arms of the person who had packaged him.

Then, as soon as he got up, he saw Ji Li appeared in front of him, and his expression suddenly changed again:
Such a young master...

Even though his expression changed, his hands were not idle. He glanced at the kidnappers in a panic:
"them……"

The dreamer obviously hasn't realized that he is dreaming.

"Relax, I won't be able to move for a while."

Ji Li walked up to one of the figures and patted him on the shoulder, while also observing the young man.

The other person is about the same age as my current body, and his face still retains the childishness of his school days. I'm afraid he is really a student.

At this moment, there was some panic on his face and he looked at Ji Li cautiously.

Gaoxing Group, with its headquarters in Silla's capital, Singyeong, has tentacles covering 80 percent of Silla's industries, making it a well-deserved super chaebol.

Their influence in the awakened world is not that profound, but it is also a strong force.

For example, the Blue Label Hospital is an asset of the Gaoxing Group, including the White Fox Group involved in the previous hospital incident, which can basically be regarded as one of the private armies of the Gaoxing Group.

Even in the Special Management Bureau, some senior officials have close ties with the Gaoxing Group. This is almost inevitable in the country of Silla.

Ji Li is also an old capitalist thug.

From being a thug to being the third in command of a global giant, this situation seemed normal to him and there was nothing to be surprised about.

Being able to go against the Gaoxing Group in Silla, in what Ji Li considered the "ancient times", was probably the same as going against the emperor.

As for the student in front of him... Ji Li remembered seeing it when watching the news on TV. The chairman of Gaoxing Group is now considered old, but his grandson is still a college student? Or even a high school student?
In other words, this grandson may be ranked last in the family:
"What level are these guys at? How dare they kidnap someone from the Royal Family?"

The young man suddenly twitched:

"I don't deserve it... Let's leave here quickly..."

"Shouldn't we kill him first and then leave?"

Hearing Ji Li's words, the young man looked troubled:

"No... No, I don't want to implicate you, it's better for us to leave here first..."

However, Ji Li hugged his shoulders:

"Boy, do you know that this place is my jurisdiction?"

"Jurisdiction...area?"

The other person was obviously stunned, and Ji Li's eyes flickered -

He didn't know the concept of "jurisdiction".

An awakened person, and a "royal member" of the Gaoxing Group, doesn't know the concept of "jurisdiction" of Flash Street?
Or, the other party is not from Aurora City, because this policy may not be available outside of Aurora City.

Otherwise, this "little prince" is just a fool...

The former is possible, after all, Gaoxing Group’s headquarters is not in Silla.

But considering that "Grandson" might be the last one in the ranking, some things seemed to make sense, and Ji Li suddenly lost some interest in his heart——

If he believed that the people of Gaoxing Group could reveal some high-level intelligence related to the world of awakeners, then the little grandson in front of him obviously did not meet this requirement.

He didn't even know what a "jurisdiction" was. He was too young and might not have had any contact with the core circle of power in Gaoxing Group.

"If someone from the Gaoxing Group's royal family is kidnapped here, it will cause me a lot of trouble. Why don't you think about it before you speak?"

The "little prince" was immediately troubled, but the scene of Ji Li's snap of his fingers and "stopping time" really shocked him. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:

"Sorry, it's just some household chores... You saved me today, I will find a chance to repay you, but we have to leave here first..."

"Housework? But you may not be able to leave for the time being."

The "little prince"'s expression suddenly tightened:
"What do you mean?"

"It means... you are still dreaming."

As Ji Li finished speaking, the other party's dream suddenly fluctuated -

When the dreamer realizes that he is dreaming, most of them will wake up immediately.

This is not necessarily the case for the awakened ones.

So after the dream fluctuated for a moment, the little grandson's face suddenly turned gloomy:

"Oh no... I'm still in the trunk..."

Obviously, he has broken away from the "script" of the dream -

When most people dream, their dreams are chaotic and disordered, and under the arrangement of their subconscious mind, most of them will make up a "script" for the dream.

The dreamer who is in the "script" often does not remember his real identity.

In other words, people often forget their real situation in reality, and under the influence of their subconscious mind, they wholeheartedly play the role in the "script" in the dream.

This was the situation for the little grandson at the moment. After Ji Li reminded him that he was in a dream, he immediately broke away from the script, recalled his real situation, and entered a "lucid dream" state:
"Please help me!"

The little grandson grabbed Ji Li’s shoulders and said, “I’m Che Canhao, the president’s eighth grandson! My uncle wants to kill me!!!”

Sure enough, this guy was in a very dangerous situation, so his spirit essence kept crying for help in his dream... Ji Li thought:
"Aren't you afraid of implicating me now? Having given birth to eight sons, your old president is really energetic."

"I'm serious! With your strength, please help me!"

"Why would he want to kill you? As the last grandson, it's not your turn to share the property." Ji Li was curious.

"No... not property."

Che Canhao hugged his head, looking terrified:
"I saw his secret..."

"What secret?"

The little grandson's eyes flashed:
"Save me and I'll tell you!"

"Then we'll just have to say goodbye."

"what?!"

Che Canhao obviously didn't expect Ji Li to turn around and leave, so he immediately rushed up and grabbed his wrist again:
"This is important..."

"What kind of person do you think would be willing to get involved in your chaebol family's messy affairs? Nine lives wouldn't be enough to spend..." Ji Li showed a half-smile.

He has no fear of the chaebols. When he was in his thirties or forties in his previous life, he was able to compete with large companies. What a mere Silla chaebol is.

He was telling the other party that his conditions were not good at all and were harmful rather than helpful, so it would be better to come up with something more substantial.

"No, you don't understand. If this secret is exposed to the Special Management Bureau, Gaoxing Group will probably undergo major changes! Think carefully about the value contained in this!!"

Ji Li's expression gradually calmed down:

"But you are from Gaoxing Group."

Why would you tell an outsider about something that could shake up your family? Even if his life was at stake, he would doubt the boy's sincerity.

"Then what kind of treatment do you think I can get in the family with my identity?"

"Why don't you just stop fighting for this property?"

"Impossible... No matter if I have a chance to fight for the family property or not, they will wipe out our family in the end!"

"That makes sense, but a vague 'secret' alone is not enough to get me into trouble with the Gaoxing Group."

“…and property!”

Seeing that he had finally convinced the mysterious man, Che Canhao finally let out a sigh of relief and spoke quickly:

"This land in Xinnan District is mine! I have the final say over the land assets and real estate! I can't give you anything from the awakened world, but you may not be able to own the land assets!"

"You were caught on your own territory? Was it your territory or Gaoxing Group's territory?" Ji Li became interested now.

"Mine! The entire Xinnan District is mine! This is what I won from the bet between my grandfather and me!"

"It's a bit interesting..."

This was something Ji Li had never thought of—

Che Canhao was right about one thing. In Silla, Ji Li could possess and gain a lot of things by relying on his identity as an awakened person.

However, without luck, it would have been almost impossible for him to own the land of Silla.

So how much wealth and benefits can a piece of land create?

There are too many of them. Whether it is the world of awakened people or the society of ordinary people, the benefits are innumerable.

Although he may not be able to use it now, it is indeed very tempting compared to the price he has to pay at the moment.

Because the valuable lands are controlled by the chaebols, Ji Li will have to negotiate terms with them if he wants to.

Compared with his grandson, talking to the chaebol would require more than just killing a few people, and it was not even considered in his future plans.

However, this kid who suddenly met said that Xinnan District was his...

The land in Silla was privately owned, but the price, needless to say, was astronomical.

In school districts like Xinnan District, with the presence of countless commercial streets and school district housing, prices can only go higher, not lower, even if they are not as high as central areas like the first and second ring roads.

"As long as you are willing to save me, I can give you a part of Xinnan District! And share my uncle's secret with you! Deal?!"

After all, he is still a student. Although he may have some courage, he knows that his body is in danger at this moment, and there is obvious panic on Che Canhao's face.

"Che Canhao, right?" Ji Li looked at him with a half-smile:

"I can help you. If what you said is true, I want a quarter of the East District bounded by Aries College."

"……no!"

Who would have thought that this boy's expression would change drastically:
"In the East District, whether it's the business district of Yinchi Group, or the residential area, or the land of Yanghua Women's College, I can give it to you! But not Aries College!"

Ji Li's eyes flashed:
"Why not Aries Academy? It's just a school."

"Why do you want Aries College?" The boy suddenly calmed down, with a cautious gleam in his eyes.

Ji Li grinned:
"Because... Aries College is my jurisdiction."

"you……?!"
