Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 367 Gallic Traditional Arts
Kabia, the Grand President's residence.

Nabi Konat is chatting with a blond, blue-eyed old man.

“Thirty million euros have already been deposited into your account at the Bank of Gaul.” Rabiot raised his hand, took a puff of his cigar, and elegantly exhaled a smoke ring. “After it’s all done, there will be another seventy million.”

Konat didn't smoke. Instead, he sat behind the large executive desk, leaning back in his comfortable executive chair. "All the financial operations of the newly established Kabia Mining Group are managed by Gaul Bank. You've made a fortune."

“This is a win-win situation!” Rabiot laughed.

Konat laughed too. "That's right, a win-win situation!"

Konaté and Gaul won, while Kabia and Tianxia naturally lost.

Rabiot exhaled another smoke ring, then thought for a moment and reminded him, "Actually, you only need to take back the mine ownership; there's no need to detain Tianxia's workers."

“That’s too slow,” Konat snorted. “The Tianxia people will protest, negotiate, and if it drags on, it will become more and more troublesome.”

“It would be better to just detain their workers; that would be the quickest way for them to compromise,” Konat laughed. “How could they dare risk the deaths of hundreds of workers to refuse my demands?”

Rabiot wasn't sure if Konaté was confident or just arrogant, and asked in surprise, "If they delay, are you really going to let hundreds of workers die in the factory?"

Konat laughed, "Not too many will die; they won't be able to handle a few."

Rabiot then fell silent.

Since Konaté is so brave, there's no need for him to try to persuade him anymore.

Anyway, Konat is at the forefront, and Konat is also being targeted by Tianxia. As long as they get the benefits of taking back the mine, that's enough. At worst, after Konat is gone, they can negotiate with Tianxia through new people.

Just then, an explosion suddenly came from the direction of the military camp to the east of the capital.

Konat and Rabiot were both startled and sat up straight. Konat picked up the phone and dialed the number for the eastern military camp. "Did someone else call?"

Then his expression was one of shock and bewilderment, "Huh? Superman? He can fly?"

"They destroyed all three armored vehicles in the camp, and blew up all the machine guns and rocket launchers?"

"He disarmed all the soldiers and then set the camp on fire?"

"What the hell are you talking about..."

While cursing on the phone, Konat walked out of his office and onto the balcony on the third floor of the commander's mansion. He looked towards the direction of the military camp to the east and saw a dark shadow floating in the sky, in addition to the billowing black smoke.

Rabiot, who was standing next to him, reached out his hand, and his bodyguard immediately handed him a pair of binoculars. Rabiot held them up and saw the true form of the dark figure.

"Taoist priest!?"

The Berkeley affair could not be kept secret from the highest levels of various countries. Rabiot, as the high-ranking representative of Gaul in Cabia and a member of the upper nobility, knew some of the details.

Although I didn't participate in the specific events, I learned some information through various channels. I knew that there was a group of terrifyingly powerful individuals of unknown number in Tianxia, ​​and that these individuals were Taoist priests in the country.

Rabiot had seen photos of Taoist priests, so he recognized Master Yansong's attire at a glance.

"go!"

Hearing the explosions coming from the military camp and seeing the billowing black smoke and the figures suspended in mid-air, Rabiot handed the binoculars to the bodyguard next to him without saying a word, and then turned and left.

But as soon as he turned around, he found himself in darkness. Under the sunlight, a shadow suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him, completely independent of the other shadows.

Rabiot stopped abruptly, his body stiffening. He slowly looked up and saw a pair of cloth shoes, a corner of a garment, and a blue robe... He felt his heart skip a beat. Just moments ago, Daoist Yansong was over the military camp several kilometers to the east, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared over the Commander's Mansion!
"Hey? Where did they go? How did they suddenly disappear?"

Just as Rabiot was frozen in place, Konaté behind him couldn't help but mutter to himself, carefully searching through his binoculars while also talking to the commander in the military camp.

"All the weapons were destroyed, and then that person disappeared?"

"What are you all good for?!"

"Shoot him! Bomb him with a rocket launcher! Bomb him with..."

"Bang bang bang-"

The gunshots behind him startled Konaté, who quickly turned around and saw the guards on the balcony beside him firing without hesitation, their target the airspace above the President.

Konat looked in the direction of the shooting and saw the same scene as the factory workers.

An elderly Eastern man dressed in a blue Taoist robe floated in mid-air, coldly watching him. At the same time, countless bullets hovered motionless around him.

"Whoosh-"

There was only one sharp whistle, but the screams that followed were endless.

Master Yansong used the same method as in the factory area: the bullets returned to their original path, and all the soldiers who fired at him had a piece of their ear cut off.

Then the gunfire at the commander's residence immediately stopped.

Everyone looked at Daoist Yansong with shock and fear, as if they were looking at a demon from hell. The brave ones trembled all over, while the timid ones were so scared that they wet themselves. Several even dropped their guns and knelt on the ground.

Master Yansong glanced at Rabiot, whose skin color was the most striking.

“We just want money! Everything is within the rules between nations!” Rabiot blurted out in fluent Tianxia language, raising his hands at the same time. “The idea of ​​detaining the factory workers and killing a few of them was Konat’s idea.”

“I advised him before not to touch Tianxia’s workers, but we are just partners, and I can’t influence Konat’s specific actions!” Rabiot hurriedly explained.

Konat couldn't understand what Rabiot was saying, but he at least knew that Rabiot was speaking Tianxia language and seemed to be trying to communicate with the old man, which meant...

Is this terrifying old man a Tianxia person?

Konat's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately said, "All previous cooperation agreements between Kabia and Tianxia remain in effect! I welcome more Tianxia companies to build and develop in Kabia!"

However, Daoist Yansong couldn't understand Konat's words, and there was no need for him to listen anymore.

As a Taoist priest with a thousand years of experience, he could tell at a glance whether an ordinary person was telling the truth or whether they were inherently violent and evil.

So as soon as Konat finished speaking, he felt a sudden burning sensation in his chest. He couldn't help but look down and saw that his chest was faintly red, as if a flame was burning his heart.

The next moment, in everyone's sight, a flame suddenly ignited in Konat's chest, and then spread from the inside out to his whole body, enveloping him completely.

Without screams or struggles, Konat was bound by Daoist Yansong's true qi and could do nothing. He was simply burned by the Taiyi Divine Fire and turned into a ball of flame.

When the flames died down, Konat also vanished.

There was no charred corpse, no ashes, just a wisp of smoke after the flames died down, drifting away in the wind.

When Daoist Yansong looked at Rabiot again, Rabiot knelt down with a thud, his raised hands never lowered. "I have never hurt the people of Tianxia. Tianxia and Gaul are both old revolutionary base areas. Long live the friendship between our two countries!"
