It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

The word "please" has always been worthy of scrutiny. What if it was a Hongmen Banquet?

But you can't just not come if someone asks you to, that would still be a problem... So after discussing it, the father and son decided to let Qi Maoyang come - he had dealt with Xu Shi a lot before, and they were relatively familiar with each other, but old man Qi Kang had never had any interaction with him at all.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Xu Shi felt even more regretful after hearing this, "I have never visited Uncle Qi. Forget it, I will visit him in person later."

He really felt regretful, because from his perspective, the Qi father and son were very interesting figures in the consortium, at least Qi Maoyang was.

So he also wanted to get to know this father whom he had never met before and see what kind of person he was.

In particular, he wanted to ask, did you and your son really go through the cave at the same time? Very curious!

But he also knew why Xiao Qi was so nervous. He was very good at reading people's expressions... So he walked up to Qi Maoyang and comforted him with a smile, "Why are you so reserved? We are good brothers."

Qi Maoyang thought to himself, please don’t do that. Everyone has seen what happened to the last person you called brother. This is not a nice word.

"look at you."

Xu Shi seemed to know what he was thinking, "I'm telling the truth. Do you still think I called you here to trick you into killing me?"

"I'm not that cruel... Even if you really want to use Qiangzi to negotiate with me, it doesn't matter. Besides, you don't have it, right?"

If he were to be honest with himself, he really had no intention of doing anything with "imaginary numbers".

Admittedly, he had not informed or asked the Qi family father and son to do anything before, indeed, he wanted to see what their attitude was... and now after seeing it, he was quite satisfied with it.

Maybe because he has always been at a relatively low position in the food chain, "Imaginary Number" has always been cautious in doing things. As he said, whether it is to show loyalty or to gain some benefits from "Shark Tooth", it is all within the acceptable range for him. It is not worth it to stir up extra blood and rain for this.

The fact is that he does want to take the opportunity to further enhance his control over Night Crime City, but he does not want to completely reshuffle the ruling class, he still has to leave a part of it... How can he, Xu Shi, do everything by himself?

In addition to the previous collaborations with "Imaginary Number" and the fact that he had tricked the other person without saying a word at the beginning, he still feels guilty now.

Don’t scream. Mr. Xu is a very kind person, but he also suffers from guilty conscience from time to time.

"...Old Xu, you are too kind. I have simply never experienced such a big scene before. I am just a little tired."

Qi Maoyang smiled when he heard that, but he felt relieved in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect Xu Shi's eyes to be so sharp that he could see everything at once.

The key point is that he also laid it out... This is a very good signal, at least temporarily - "imaginary numbers" will not be affected, and after this incident everyone will still be good partners holding hands.

"That's great, lie down and watch the show."

Xu Shi didn't say anything more, but stretched himself and said, "Do you want some peanut and melon seed popcorn? I'll have someone get some."

"That's no need."

Qi Maoyang waved his hands repeatedly. He was more curious about another thing. "Lao Xu, what do you mean by watching a play?"

"Here."

Xu Shi waved his hand, and the lights in the room dimmed instantly. A projection appeared, broadcasting live what was happening somewhere.

"This is... the first district?"

Qi Maoyang recognized the place on the picture at a glance.

And the next second he realized what Xu Shi meant by the good show.

"Lao Xu, you are going to attack Dragon City..."

Damn it!

Crazy!

He never thought that Xu Shi would actually take the opportunity to attack "Dragon City"!

Until now, the overt and covert struggles among the major financial groups have basically not taken "Dragon City" into account.

This is mainly because the nature of "Dragon City" is different from the others. You say it is one of the six major financial groups, but everyone actually assumes that it is a large gang. In addition, due to its geographical location, no one wants to disrupt the delicate balance between Night City and Sin City. If any consequences are caused, it will be very troublesome.

Besides, Dragon City itself was no pushover. It was impossible for someone who could survive the turmoil of the destruction of Refraction and Sky River to be easily defeated. Long Tianding himself was also an S-level "promoter" and had countless supporters.

Therefore, everyone is more inclined to cooperate with them. Why ask them to do the dirty work? When problems arise, they can also find someone to take the blame.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Shi’s move was really a bit exaggerated.

But when he wanted to ask something, he saw Xu Shi half lying on another sofa nearby, holding Xia Ke'an, who also had an expectant look on his face, in his arms, with Gu Yi snuggling beside him.

"..."

Qi Maoyang blinked. You really don't avoid people at all, right? Is this some kind of parent-child day where the whole family goes out to watch a movie? Especially the little girl with white hair in his arms is actually holding a bucket of popcorn...

This obviously meant that he should stop talking, so Qi Maoyang had no choice but to swallow the question back in disappointment.

But then again, he had some impression of Gu Yi, but who was this little girl? Did Xu Shi quietly have a child? That wasn't right, the age didn't match...

and.

He wanted to know something else.

Even with the Inspection Bureau, a considerable amount of troops and manpower had already been dispatched just to deal with the "Forgotten" riots in and outside the city.

According to his estimation, no matter how well-equipped the remaining units are, they will not be able to compete with "Dragon City".

Then.

What does he rely on to go to war with Long Tianding?

The answer is simple.

people.

Two people.

To be more precise, two people and a dog.

……

"Chairman Wen, why are you here to see me at this time?"

Seeing Wen Shengkui dressed in leather and sitting upright in a wheelchair in front of the gate of "Dragon City", Long Tianding gritted his teeth and asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"Destroy you."

Wen Shengkui purred the fur of the little black dog in his arms and responded without even raising his eyes.

From his tone, it was clear that he didn't take the other person seriously at all, as if he was talking about what to eat in the evening.

"……Why?"

Long Tianding opened his mouth, "Because of Xu Shi?"

"Because you breached your contract."

Old Master Wen said calmly, with a malicious look in his eyes, "We agreed before that we would put aside our past grudges and work together to develop the people's livelihood in Night Sin City. Isn't that right?"

"But how did you do it? Provide the thugs with a venue and weapons, and secretly allow them to attack Night Crime City?"

"What kind of words are these?"

Just confronting him, Long Tianding felt that breathing was a little difficult. He subconsciously reached out to unbutton his collar, "Do you have evidence?"

"Do you need me to search District 5 for you?"

Wen Shengkui said expressionlessly, "Or maybe we can just search your place? That Lin Wenhua should be hiding here now?"

"..."

Long Tianding remained silent.

To be honest, if it was someone else who came, he could actually handle it.

But it happened that it was Wen Shengkui who came, so he knew that it was useless to say anything.

Not to mention settling things, this old man has rarely shown his face in recent years, so he is more like a signal now - anything he is present at is a very important matter.

For example, the previous press conference on the cross-era chip, or the discussion on the entry of the "Forgotten".

And his words also made one thing clear - there was no room for maneuver.

"Just you?"

Long Tianding suppressed the dizziness in his head and asked with all his strength.

"Yes, otherwise people will say I am a bully."

Wen Shengkui nodded and handed the little black dog to Ning Wei behind him, "Take good care of it. It will have one less hair after you beat it. Write your resignation letter tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

Ning Wei took the puppy and respectfully stepped aside.

It seemed that his role was really just to push the wheelchair and bring Wen Shengkui here.

"You make the first move."

Old Master Wen looked at Long Tianding calmly, but there was a hint of contempt in his tone.

"…Don't be so proud! So what if it's SS?!"

Long Tianding clenched his fists and stomped his feet hard on the ground.

Now is not the time to beg for mercy or negotiate terms. What use will these tricks be?

He had no way out except fighting to the death.

And he had to do this - who wasn't the head of a consortium? He still had the ambition.

What's more, if you surrender, you will die, only if you fight hard, you may have a chance of survival!

After all, he is a veteran S-class "Upgrader", so he may have a chance!

If it were decades ago, he would definitely not think so. At that time, Wen Shengkui was the most famous person. In terms of momentum and demeanor, he was definitely not inferior to Xu Shi now, or even better!

But now he is just an old and feeble man, SS? Maybe his bones will fall apart if he uses his ability!

As he was speaking, he saw the ground beneath his feet shaking violently, and the entire first district seemed to be shaken by an earthquake!

The next second, he saw two giant dragons breaking out of the ground. The giant creatures, which were more than ten stories high, carried him rapidly into the air. He could faintly hear the roar of dragons!

Even Xu Shi, who was watching the show from a distance, could feel the slight vibration and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This is Long Tianding’s upgraded ability - "Earth Element Control".

To be honest, this is not a very special ability. Can't Yu Xingchuan also control metal?
