Soul Trigger

Chapter 238: Household Servant
"What do you mean by three girls? You'd better explain it to me clearly, otherwise everything we agreed on will be invalid!"

Seeing Che Canhao's anxious look, Ji Li laughed:
"Do you really want me to be your brother-in-law?"

"Wishful thinking! I just want Che Li to stay away from shady people like you!" Che Canhao glared at Ji Li fiercely.

"Don't talk nonsense. Don't you have any pretty girls around you?"

"No!" Che Canhao said firmly.

"Your mother is the eighth daughter of Lao Pu of Gaoxing Group. You are her son. Although you are the youngest, you are still the son of a chaebol family." Ji Li looked at him jokingly:
"There are probably countless women rushing to your bed. Are you sure there aren't any?"

"That has nothing to do with this matter, and I will refuse!" Che Canhao said firmly.

"You seem to still be a student, don't you have any good female classmates?"

"They're just classmates!"

"What about the people who help you run the company? Are there no female secretaries, clerks, or other subordinates?"

"That...that's just the people below..."

"It seems that chaebols would form alliances among themselves. Do you have no marriage partner?"

"This... is just a marriage partner, right?"

"Then you didn't have many childhood sweethearts to play with, the neighbor's aunt's child, or the wild girl who played with you in the same neighborhood..."

"Okay, okay, I get it! I won't ask anymore, okay!"

Looking at Che Canhao scratching his head, Ji Li sneered softly:
"Where is your determination just now?"

"I already said I won't ask anymore!"

"Heh, little boy."

"...I just can't win against you. Don't label others casually."

Che Canhao's mouth twitched, and he decided not to continue arguing with Ji Li on this topic.

He turned around and was about to continue introducing Ji Li to the young man sitting on the chair, but the young man raised his hand:

"Wait, I see someone I know, you guys talk first!"

Then he stood up, walked away from Ji Li's shoulder without even looking at him, and ran towards a man in a dark green suit who was passing by.

"...This guy." Che Canhao held his forehead and looked at Ji Li apologetically:
"I just talked to him for a while. He's actually not a bad person, just a bit careless. Don't mind it, brother."

Ji Li patted the shoulder that had just been hit by the other party:

"I'm not going to get angry with a kid."

He came to see Che Canhao to confirm the other party's power——

Strictly speaking, it should be this force of the eighth descendant of the Gaoxing Group that was able to express support for the Special Management Bureau at this rally, as well as a deeper cooperative relationship in the future.

As for second-rate organizations like the Mist Hunters, although they have a certain say in Flash Street, they are destined to be fence-sitters, and he has no interest in them.

"But what is this place doing?"

Ji Li followed the direction the young man ran and saw that the hall was magnificent, with people coming and going, several champagne towers and several bars.

At the end of the space, there was a crowd of people gathered there, occasionally making sounds of exclamations and cheers.

Compared to the reception hall outside, there were a lot more wines here, and various wine glasses and cocktails were handed over on trays between guests and waiters.

"It was the fourth brother who did it." Che Canhao sneered.

Park Dong-geun is the only son of the fourth son of Old Park of Gaoxing Group, the fourth grandson of Old Park, the fourth brother of Che Chanhao, and the fourth brother that Ji Li and he often mention.

Similarly, he is also one of Che Canhao's most intense competitors, or enemies within Gaoxing Group.

This person came here tonight as a representative sent by Gaoxing Group to participate in the "Descendant Walker" program. Compared with this official identity, Che Canhao can only be regarded as a child of relatives who came here to see the world.

When it comes to this issue, Ji Li could hear that Che Canhao's tone was always a little indignant.

The conflict between him and the fourth brother is not just about the war of succession.

As a fellow heir, his treatment within the group is not at all comparable to that of the fourth brother.

Moreover, because her mother had betrayed the arranged marriage and chose to marry outside the family, she had also suffered a lot of cold stares, and the two had had a lot of friction since they were young.

"This is the branch venue he requested from Flash Street. The activities here tonight will be organized by the people from the Gaoxing Group. Speaking of which..."

Che Canhao retracted his gaze, picked up the wine glass on the small table next to him and took a swig:
"Do you know the Thousand-Ren Witch-Qin?"

How is it related to Qin again... Ji Li glanced at Che Canhao, and suddenly remembered the young man in the silver suit who chased after him when Qin appeared at the door.

He didn't pay much attention to these lickers of the good dog at that time, but now thinking back, there was someone next to him calling the fourth young master, and that person should be Park Dong-geun.

"I know. I know."

"Know him?" Che Canhao's eyes flashed, "Do you know him well?"

"That's too familiar."

This is no longer a question of familiarity.

What story does the unsatisfied little bitch and her master have to tell?

However, Che Canhao rolled his eyes and looked at Ji Li with disdain:

"You are really no different from the people here... You will get the same answer if you ask anyone you want. Even though she is a high-ranking strongman in Flash Street, do you still look down on a socialite like this?"

Xiao Deng didn't believe it, so Lao Deng could only shrug:

"I think you may have misunderstood something."

"Of course, this is not important. I have never met Qin and I am not interested in her. But Park Dong-geun seems to be coming for Qin."

"I can roughly guess this." Ji Li recalled the situation at the door.

"That socialite likes wine tasting. Coincidentally, Park Dong-geun's spiritual core ability is related to 'alcohol', so he specially booked this place to please that woman."

It's not that he can't understand it, Ji Li nodded. He has experienced the charm of the zither from the inside out. Just look at the group of talented and crazy people in the Zither Club and you will know that it is reasonable to attract the direct descendant of a tycoon.

"But he shouldn't just be tempted by beauty." Ji Li glanced at Xiao Deng:

"Qin is a high-ranking member of Flash Street. If Park Dong-geun believes that he can take her down, it will be a great help to both Gaoxing Group and Lao Si himself."

"And it just so happens that his spirit core ability matches the other party's preferences... Tsk, what a shit luck." Che Canhao said unhappily, and talked to Ji Li about Park Donggen's strength. The awakened are not practicing martial arts, and there is no special technology in this world that can force the awakened to awaken. At most, the awakened can use soul psychology methods, or have the spirit core ability to guide mortals to awaken.

Therefore, even in a high-star group, the awakened ones with direct bloodlines within are not necessarily powerful. Everything is determined by talent and their own laws of desire.

It is certainly impossible for a future heir-level character like Park Dong-geun to struggle in various spiritual prisons, although there are such people in Gaoxing Group.

Park Dong-geun has been hanging out at various banquet venues since he was a child, and his ability under the awakening of desire is also related to enjoyment.

Alcohol.

However, his strength is not strong, only below the level of a master.

"This guy wants to attack Che Li... I can't help you with matters within the chaebol, but I will take care of him outside the chaebol."

Hearing Ji Li's words, Che Canhao smiled casually:
"I will naturally protect my sister. After all, she is a direct descendant, and it is not easy for outsiders to take action against the chaebol. But brother, your words are enough."

As he spoke, Xiao Deng patted Ji Li on the shoulder:

"The most important thing right now is your business. Since the chief disciple of the Hunter's Guild is unreliable, I'd better take you to see Uncle Yin first..."

"I am always here."

As an old voice came from the side, Ji Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man sitting at the bar not far away.

This man was dressed in a formal tuxedo, with his silver hair combed neatly, looking like a Western European butler, and his sparkling eyes held a certain arrogance.

Che Canhao hurriedly took Ji Li to greet them:

"Uncle Yin, this is the friend who has helped me a lot. Brother, this is Uncle Yin, who has taken good care of me since I was a child..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man interrupted Che Canhao:
"I know that you are the new Special Management Bureau's Special Adjustment Supervisor. Master, I am somewhat relieved that you have been able to make arrangements in the Special Management Bureau to this extent."

Ji Li: “?”

Che Chanhao: “Ah?”

He looked at Ji Li blankly and found that the other party was looking at him with some very interesting eyes.

Xiao Deng quickly explained:
"Uncle Yin, it's not..."

"You're always so modest, I understand."

Yin Bo patted his shoulder, and with a strong force, he patted back the second half of his sentence, then looked at Ji Li coldly:
"I don't know much about the situation in Aurora City, but I also know that you drove away the people from the Fourth Young Master's lineage and entered the senior level of the Special Management Bureau as Canhao's person..."

"But this is not a reason you can use to threaten Master Chanhao and force him to get involved in this mess."

Ji Li ignored the old man and said to Che Canhao with a raised eyebrow:

"I'm now curious about what you told your mother..."

Che Canhao raised his hand in shame and looked at the old man: "Uncle Yin, you misunderstood..."

However, the old man ignored Che Canhao and grabbed Ji Li's shoulders:
"I heard some of your conversation just now, so obviously you also know that Master Chanhao is not in a good condition now."

"Since you followed Master Canhao, and he paid a price to let you take the position of the Special Supervisor, then you are no longer the Special Supervisor of the Special Management Bureau, but the servant of the eighth heir of my Gaoxing Group!"

Ji Li curled the corner of his mouth...a servant, right?
The old man continued:

"Even if you are of similar age to him and have a good personal relationship with him, as a family servant, your existence is to help your master share his worries, not to use your personal relationship and contributions to Master Chan Hao to make your master wade into muddy water to get you out!"

Ji Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him, then shifted his gaze to Che Canhao's pale face:
"Hello, young master?"

"Brother! I definitely don't mean that! Believe me!"

Che Canhao suddenly threw himself on Ji Li, shook off the old man's hand on Ji Li's shoulder and raised his hand to block him:
"Uncle Yin, there must be some misunderstanding here. I don't know what my mother told you, but things are not what you think..."

"Master Canhao, I always remind you not to be too nice to servants."

The old man directly raised a wave of spiritual essence to block Che Canhao, and then looked at Ji Li:

"Since Master Canhao is protecting you, I want to see what level of awakener you are that will make me risk my life to get rid of you even if it means blocking the entire Aurora City and SIA!"

He reached out and grabbed Ji Li, and a gray sticky spiritual essence pressed towards Ji Li like an overwhelming force.

Che Canhao next to him couldn't think of taking action directly, and immediately shouted:
"Uncle Yin! This is Shan Street!"

"That was the place that my Gaoxing Group rented from Shanjie. I can't even stretch my muscles. Isn't this a waste of money?!"

Damn it, you are a Type II Overlord! Ji Li is only at the peak of the sixth level! How can he resist your little stretch!!!

Che Canhao gritted his teeth and opened his own spiritual essence, but heard a muffled sound, and the cup on the table next to him suddenly burst into a circle of cracks——

“The quality is good.”

Under the old man's astonished gaze, Ji Li tightly grasped his left arm with his five fingers in the shape of claws, picked up the cracked cup on the bar next to him and took a sip.

Then he looked at him from a distance:
"To you."

Three invisible swords instantly shot towards the old man, whose pupils suddenly contracted and he turned around abruptly to retreat.

But thousands of hyphae grew out of Ji Li's wrist and twisted it tightly.

The old man simply used his arm as a fulcrum, and turned his entire body sideways in the air, dodging all three invisible blades. Then he felt that his spiritual essence attached to his arm was shattered at any time -

His eyes widened in anger instantly, and a large amount of chaotic gray gas exploded from his body. There was no doubt that the power of the Type 2 Overlord had exploded.

Che Canhao only heard a sharp sound and the sound of something breaking. The whole ball of gray gas was cut diagonally in the middle by a knife mark, and then it dissipated and exploded.

Ji Li stood where he was, a black knife rapidly disappearing from his hand.

Not far in front of him, there was a chaotic membrane that was twisting repeatedly.

As the twisting spirit essence suddenly stopped, a knife mark appeared on the membrane, and the next moment the entire membrane burst open, revealing the figure of the old man inside -

At this moment, there was a wound on his shoulder that was so deep that the bone could be seen, and his entire arm was hanging limply below.

And that arm was the one that grabbed Ji Li before. At this moment, it was bursting with blood and flesh like a twisted bamboo.

I don’t know how many times my wrist was turned, and blood kept flowing down.

“…The peak master.”

Because of the intense pain, the old man's voice trembled a little.

"Now, can you listen to your master properly, servant?"
