Soul Trigger

Chapter 239 Qin Friends Club

Ji Li looked down at the other person, and in his eyes, spiritual essence with a black core and white edges lingered in the air.

"That's right... Thank you for your mercy." The old man glanced at the wound on his shoulder and said solemnly.

"You were careless. You should have used your full strength before you knew the opponent's strength." Ji Li said lightly.

The old man nodded:
"I'm grateful for your advice. But this is the territory of Shan Street after all..."

"Didn't you just say that the group's money was wasted?"

The old man looked embarrassed, but when he heard Ji Li's next words, he was startled again -

"You're right, actually. This is Flash Street's territory, and we are allies after all... I'm holding back."

In other words, not only was the shot going in the wrong direction, but it also didn't really exert much strength...

The old man supported his shoulders:

Scary young man.

The old man raised his shoulders and turned his wrist for a while, and it returned to normal, but it was still loose and was intertwined with the silk threads made of his own spiritual essence.

Che Chanhao, who was standing next to them, was unable to follow the conversation between the two people, but when he saw that things had settled down, he breathed a sigh of relief, unloaded his own spiritual essence, and waved to the man in a gray suit who was about to surround him in the corner.

Several men in gray suits nodded and dispersed the small group of people who were attracted by the noise.

The fight between the two made quite a lot of noise, and actually attracted quite a lot of attention, but it was Gaoxing Group's business, so it was better to stay out of trouble and just go drink by yourself.

After the fight, the old man couldn't help but understand that he had misunderstood because of his own words. He immediately apologized to Ji Li and said that he would give the apology to the other party through Che Canhao later.

As a fellow peak overlord, even though he was careless, he almost cut off his arm with one strike. This overlord's level must be at least the same level as his, a Type II overlord, or even a Type III overlord.

Not to mention how terrifying it is for the other party to reach this level at this age. With Master Che's current level, it is good to have a friend at the peak of the sixth level. It is amazing to use the layout of the awakened person at the peak of the sixth level, but to use the awakened person of this level as a subordinate...

With that young master's level of awakened beings that he cannot dominate, there is no possibility at all even if he has a chaebol as his background.

After sitting down again and talking for a while, the old man realized that Ji Li's purpose was not what he understood. He wanted Gaoxing Group to pull Ji Li out of the quagmire of the Special Management Bureau, which was currently in danger:

"As for the right to speak, Master Canhao is not the representative of the group this time, so he may not be able to help you with anything."

After listening to it, the old man also carefully analyzed Ji Li's thoughts:

"If you need to use force to help the current Special Management Bureau share the pressure from all parties tonight, I am willing to give it a try, but..."

He raised his wrist and smiled bitterly:
"It's all my own fault. I offended Master Ji Li, so my current strength may not be as good as it used to be."

Ji Li is Che Canhao's friend, and his strength is not weaker than his. Besides, the fault is his, so even if he feels uncomfortable, he will never show it or take action.

And as he said—

He is a house servant, and a house servant has no right to be angry with his master's friends. He really strictly implements the concept of a house servant.

"This is simple."

As Ji Li spoke, he raised his hand and patted Yin Bo's arm, extracting 10% of his spiritual essence to activate Soul Mach.

Under Yin Bo's astonished gaze, the flesh and blood of his arm quickly pieced together, and his own powerful recovery ability as an awakened person was instantly strengthened, and it was even more than just recovery ability:
"Soul Healer?! No, it's not just a healing effect, it's..."

In an instant, the look in his eyes when he looked at Ji Li changed again——

Having an extremely young peak master as a friend is naturally a great thing, and it will be a help to the young master and his lineage in the future fight for the status of heir.

But if it’s a soul healer, and not just a soul healer… this ability is a bit scary.

Different from the people Ji Li had treated before, he was a top master and a servant of a chaebol. Not only his vision but also his strength far surpassed the others.

After instantly sensing the all-round acceleration effect from Soul Mach, and even accidentally crushing the wine glass when he touched it, the old man's mind was filled with countless fantasies and uses of this ability.

He silently exchanged for the wine glass, poured himself a glass, and solemnly held it up to Ji Li:

"Master Canhao, thank you for taking care of me. I will do my best for tonight's matter."

After saying that, he swallowed it all in one gulp, which made Che Canhao next to him look stunned.

How come his attitude changes so much, becoming even more respectful than to him as the young master?
Ji Li was a seasoned veteran, so how could he not see what the white-haired kid was thinking? He smiled and raised his glass:

"To you, too."

"Speaking of which, if you need help... I do have connections here, and should be able to recruit one or two 'friends' present. Although they are not as powerful as giants like Gao Xing and Yin Chi, they can still help Master Ji Li."

The old servant quickly began to think about Ji Li, but Che Canhao next to him glanced at the old man:

"...Uncle Yin, have you called the young master?"

The old man smiled and said, "The young master's friend is naturally the young master. So, young master Ji Li, please be careful here. I will go and see if it can be done."

"Then thank you for your care." Ji Li picked up the wine glass.

After watching the old man leave, Ji Li looked at Che Canhao meaningfully, and the latter waved his hands repeatedly:
"I just said that my friend in the Special Management Bureau needed help, and I also mentioned that you provided me with the opportunity to enter Flash Street, helped me find a safe house, and mentioned the matter of the file. How could I have known that my mother would misunderstand it like this..."

"You kid, I remember you were doing things secretly without telling the people of your lineage, right?"

Che Canhao drank a mouthful of wine and said, "...Brother, I was wrong this time. I will give you another villa later, okay?"

"If the Special Management Bureau can't pass this hurdle, it will be useless even if you give Aurora City to me. The land belongs to Li Bingxiao, and Aurora City may disappear in the future." Ji Li said with a smile.

"Then I can take you to the capital, okay?" Che Canhao said casually, and then realized: "...has it become so serious?"

His circle is different from Ji Li's. He is mainly concerned with the chaebol circle and the war of succession that has been going on since he was born.

Although Gaoxing Group, as the "emperor" of Silla, is indeed a big deal, he only has a vague understanding of the big events in the world of awakeners in Aurora City. After all, his original purpose today was to come and disrupt his fourth brother's plan.

Helping Ji Li, one reason is that they have a good relationship, plus the relationship with Che Li.

The other is that he could indeed disrupt the fourth brother's plan, but he didn't expect the situation behind it to be so serious.

"Don't worry about being a savior. I have my own arrangements."

Ji Li took out his phone and took a look. He found that Qin hadn't replied to his message yet, and frowned immediately:
"You drink first, I have something else to do..."

"If the situation is serious, I think the Hunter Guild can still try harder?" Che Canhao spread his hands.

Coincidentally, just as Ji Li stood up from his seat, a figure stumbled over, sat down directly on the seat he had just sat, and then took a few deep breaths.

Ji Li turned his head and took a glance, and it was the chief disciple.

"Ji Xu? What were you doing just now?"

Seeing that the devil was about to appear, Che Canhao smiled and greeted him. The young man named Ji Xu didn't even look at Ji Li, grabbed the bottle of wine on the table and took a few gulps. After a long breath, he slammed his arms on the table and complained to Che Canhao:

"Damn... what a crappy piano club, the requirements for joining are so harsh!"

Che Canhao put his hands together under the table, signaling Ji Li not to be offended by the rude behavior of this silly boy——

He has seen how Ji Li killed all the people who kidnapped him, and his strength has become stronger, on the same level as Yin Bo. Do you just treat this little overlord as a piece of shit?

At the same time, he poured a glass of wine to the other party and pushed it over:
"Qinyouhui?"

"Actually, this is the main reason why I came here today." Ji Xu said while drinking:
"A gang in Shan Street that is related to the Witch Qianren. I tell you, I want to join it even in my dreams!"

"What's the benefit of that?" Che Canhao glanced at Ji Li next to him, motioned him to be patient, and continued talking along the topic of Ji Xu.

Ji Xu smiled:
"They are all powerful people. One is the connections, and the other is... I heard that there is a chance to attend Miss Qin's wine tasting every month. Any man would be excited."

Ji Li glanced at this guy, not knowing what to say.

Che Canhao, who claimed that he was not interested in this, also twitched his mouth -

As the grandson of a chaebol, Che Chanhao simply doesn't understand the ecology and power conflicts of the awakened people in Aurora City.

But no matter where he is, these masters and extraordinary awakeners either keep their distance or keep silent about the reputation of the peak master.

This Thousand Ren Witch is also a top master, right? She is so charming, and you only care about her face?

He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just said:
"My friend in the Special Management Bureau seems to be on good terms with the Witch Qianren. Are you sure you don't want to talk to him?"

However, Ji Xu laughed:
"Do you believe this yourself?"

Then he looked at Ji Li and clasped his hands together and shook them:
"Brother, I've heard of you and I know you're pretty strong. It's not that I'm ignoring you on purpose. It's mainly because of the situation at your Special Management Bureau that I don't dare get involved in this mess. There's really nothing to say about my teacher!"

Then, without waiting for Ji Li to speak, he said to Che Canhao:
"You are not from Aurora City either. Let me put it this way. After tonight, all the people in the Aurora City Special Management Bureau will be replaced."

"No one will go to the capital at this time to cause bad luck. To the Special Management Bureau, this banquet tonight is like a Hongmen Banquet."

"Master Canhao, please stop trying to lead the topic in that direction..."

Finally, he looked at Ji Li and said earnestly:

"Brother, if I were you, I would leave the Special Management Bureau right now, and then run as far as you can. The person behind tonight is SIA, and you will not get away with it."

After listening patiently, Ji Li nodded seriously and shrugged at Che Canhao:

"Well, you've seen it, so you should save some saliva. There are less than three hours until the main meeting starts, and you won't have enough time to sit any longer. I'll leave first."

Che Canhao had no choice but to wave his hand and say:
"I know bro, sorry for wasting your time."

After saying that, Ji Li took out his cell phone and started to contact Qin, and walked out of the branch venue, but ran into a man in a dark green suit.

The latter immediately apologized and was about to pass by, but after noticing Ji Li's face, he quickly grabbed his shoulder:

"tutor?!"

Ji Li searched the Ascension Protocol for a long time but couldn't find anyone who matched the other person's appearance:

"We know each other?"

"It's me! The one on a business trip to the Black Sun Mansion! From the Qin Friends Club!"

This shout directly attracted the attention of Ji Xu, who was still complaining to Che Canhao not far away, and he was stunned.

And the "Brother on a Business Trip to Black Sun Mansion" was still hugging Ji Li and talking:

"Didn't you ask me to help you get some good stuff from Rising Sun Military Industry? I refused at first, but it was Miss Qin who called me personally... I'm really sorry!"

Ji Li also recalled——

A soul-sensing device specifically for Predators, smuggled from Rising Sun Military Industries.

It was first when Li Zheguang, one of Mojing's men, chatted with Ji Li at the Silk Screen Club. Li Zheguang invited Ji Li to join the Qinyou Club, traded the cocktail menu with Ji Li using that thing, and asked for advice on cocktail making techniques.

Because this guy is one of Qin's top bootlickers.

Later, in order to prevent the Predator incident, Ji Li obtained a batch of Predator vibrator prototypes from this person through the Qin Friends Club, and handed them over to the Special Management Bureau and the Guard for research and development and assembly.

"But, we should have never met before, right?" Ji Li raised his eyebrows.

"What you said..." The man lowered his head and said:
"I asked the delivery man to take a photo of you picking up the package... I just wanted to see what you look like, so I'm sorry... Now it seems that you are indeed a handsome man!"

Ji Li twitched his lips:
"Then?"

"Then I recognized you! So, teacher, there's a gathering of piano friends over there, would you like to come and teach them a few words?"

Then he lowered his voice:
"I heard that you are Miss Qin's personal bartender. Can you share some of your experience?"

Ji Li rubbed his forehead. He really didn't know what to say to this group of licking dogs:

"I might be a little busy tonight."

The man reacted immediately:

"Oh... I almost forgot. You are from the Special Management Bureau. You may be in trouble tonight. But don't worry. After tonight, if you need help from the Qin Friends Club..."

The man made a telephone gesture.

"CALL me."

Ji Li finally sent the man away and was about to turn around and leave, but he was met with a smiling face.

Ji Li: “?”

Ji Xu, the chief disciple of the Hunter Guild, smiled:

"Qin Friends Club? Tutor?"

I really admire you guys as a bunch of lickers...

"I'm not, go find him."

Ji Li pointed at the figure in the dark green suit from a distance, then turned and left.

Ji Xu, however, stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster and stood in front of Ji Li.
