Chapter 503: Grandpa Mysterious
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Old An, what exactly do you want?” Seeing the two parties turning into such a scene after just discussing a few words, the Bureau Chief was full of anxiousness.
Don’t see that this old man An Yangxu was already 60-plus-years-old, his temper was extrely hot and rash, having the type of bandit attitude commonly seen on the founding Nation generation’s soldiers. When he set his eyes on sothing, if he couldn’t obtain it, he definitely wouldn’t give up. When he said he would fire, he definitely wasn’t joking when he had no other solutions.
But as for Hong Dali’s side, Tang Muxin, Lin Chuyin, and Li Nianwei naturally didn’t need to be questioned—they were Hong Dali’s loyal followers. The nine lackeys all had a chanical Holy Garnt each too, and they were also aiming at the soldiers now. Although they might not dare to make the first move, if An Yangxu acted, it couldn’t be sure that they wouldn’t dare to fire back, too.
That was the chanical Holy Garnt, the weapons were so strong that they exceeded mankind’s imagination. Once they fired, it definitely wouldn’t be funny!
“What do I want to do?” An Yangxu stared deadly at Hong Dali and said in a deep voice, “I’m making it clear. If this little rascal hands over the chanical Holy Garnts, I will give him anything he wants! If he doesn’t, I don’t mind playing with him with my life!”
“An Yangxu!” The Bureau Chief was really desperate now. “Do you know that he’s soone the Boss wants!? Touching him is akin to touching the Boss. The consequences of that...”
“Consequences?” An Yangxu looked at the Bureau Chief and then back at Hong Dali. His saliva splattered all over the table as he said, “What consequences does an old bone such as I need to consider? I only know that I must obtain the chanical Holy Garnts today! Must! Old Wu, do you know that rika has already started to lock down on our trade? Jaban has also withdrawn all of their technical people in the Heavenly State? They have already started to move against us, but what about us? We didn’t get a single thing! You guys took the chanical Holy Garnt back for research, but what are the results? Yet this little rascal is hiding the good stuff and keeping it for himself, what do you think I can do?”
His words weren’t wrong.
Jaban State and rika’s request to exchange for the chanical Holy Garnt’s technology was rejected. Now, they had started to seal off all the technical support and imports of rare tals to Heavenly State.
Without technology and rare tals, a lot of industries couldn’t carry on their work. Although Heavenly State occupied lots of lands, they were still lacking in copper, aluminum, and nickel. The Heavenly State’s storage of these materials were respectively only 5%, 3.86%, and 6%. Although the storage for lead and zinc was ranked near the top, compared to the usage of more than 50% of what they had, they still needed to be imported.
Now, rika stopped the exports of heavy tals to Heavenly State and Jaban State stopped the support of technology for the manufacturing of machines. It might not be obvious in the short term, but these were already sealed off, after all. As for Hong Dali’s chanical Man, the Nation still hadn’t made any major technological advancent on it.
“Even so, couldn’t you speak things over calmly?” The Bureau Chief anxiously stomped his feet. “You directly point your guns at them when you co in, who would dare to hand over their things to you directly! Dali isn’t so insensible kid...”
“If he was so insensible kid, things would be much easier.” An Yangxu humphed. “I didn’t study a lot, I only know that words are usual if supported by guns. I don’t trust anything else!”
“Don’t talk to about your military thods!” The Bureau Chief frantically said, “You can’t touch this little rascal Hong Dali! Do you understand? You can’t touch him!”
Other things aside, if Hong Dali didn’t squander, it would be a big loss to the Nation!
“Other than the Boss, there isn’t anyone untouchable in my eyes!” An Yangxu violently slapped the table again. “Little rascal, are you going to give it to or not? If you are not going to hand it over, don’t bla for not being polite anymore!”
“Oh, let sleep a while first...” Hong Dali flipped his body to the other side.
Are you kidding , if I handed it over just because you asked to, what am I supposed to play with next ti? Once I made sothing it will be taken away, then why would I go to the trouble of making them?
At this mont, the entire atmosphere in the room and restaurant could be said to be filled with killing intent. The Bureau Chief anxiously stomped his feet, but he was helpless towards this An Yangxu. He was a really stubborn fellow, and it looked like he wouldn’t stop until he got the chanical Holy Garnt today.
Luckily, just at this mont, the door was suddenly pushed open again and a bunch of n wearing black suits and black sunglasses and ard with guns walked in. Once they ca in, without a second word, they took away the soldiers’ guns and then knocked them down before standing at one side with arms crossed.
The Bureau Chief violently wiped off the cold sweat on his head and said, “They are finally here, the Sky South Sea bodyguards are finally here. That really scared ...”
Then, a majesty-filled voice sounded from the door. “Old An, what’s the aning of mobilizing so many soldiers here?”
It was the Bureau Chief’s Boss, the mysterious man was here!
“Boss.” Seeing the mysterious man arrive, An Yangxu wiped off the cold sweat on his head. Luckily his boss ca in ti. If not, he wouldn’t be able to back down without losing face. An Yangxu wasn’t a fool, he knew that Hong Dali was having a al with his boss today. The purpose of him coming in and directly asking Hong Dali for the chanical Holy Garnts just now was to show his attitude—the military must have it! His attitude was already shown, the boss shall decide what to do!
This way, the boss naturally wouldn’t punish him, the more likely result was to calm him down first then personally discuss with Hong Dali—after Hong Dali saw him act the blackface, once the boss spoke to Hong Dali nicely, things would probably go well. An Yangxu did indeed have a hot temper, but that didn’t an he was an idiot. He was instead very clever!
Although this was his plan, the act still had to continue. An Yangxu stood up and anxiously said, “The 150th-anniversary military parade is almost starting, we must make use of all the ti that we have left. This little rascal Hong Dali must hand over his chanical Holy Garnts no matter what today! After the military parade, even if you want to kill , I wouldn’t have any complaints!”
“Old An, let do the talking.” The mysterious man roughly guessed what An Yangxu’s plan was. He sat down in front of Hong Dali and asked, “Dali, you see...”
Huh? The military parade? And what’s more, it’s the 150th anniversary? I had really forgotten about this matter. I still thought that it was the first day of November.
Hearing the mysterious man words, Hong Dali climbed up from Li Nianwei’s lap, scratched his head and asked, “Grandpa An, you want the Holy Garnts to display to the foreigners during the military parade?”
“Why else do you think I want it for!” An Yangxu angrily said, “You little rascal has good stuff, but you didn’t contribute them and just kept it for yourself and gave only one to the Nation while keeping five! If this were normal tis, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but you are doing this at such a crucial timing! Do you know how important the 150th-anniversary military parade is? Do you know how many foreign reporters will be there? Do you know how much more speaking power we will have if our Nation’s military is stronger?”
“Ah, I didn’t think so much.” Hong Dali touched his chin and said, “But speaking of which, it’s possible for to give the garnts to you. But the crucial thing is that there is only five of it. During the parade, you can’t be letting just five people wear the Holy Garnts and march in the plaza by themselves, right?”
He was speaking a fact. Just imagine five people marching on the plaza and the broadcaster saying: “The ones coming now are the five Holy Warriors of the Goddess...” Well, it was just nice enough to make the five main holy warriors for “Holy Warriors of the Goddess”...
Just thinking about this scene made them shudder!
Upon imaging the scene that Hong Dali described, even the originally anxious Bureau Chief also couldn’t help but burst out laughing. The mysterious man also smiled and helplessly shook his head.
This Hong Dali was still alright when he didn’t speak, but once he spoke, he would always cause people to laugh. He really couldn’t stand this little rascal!
“Then, what other solution do you have?” An Yangxu stared till his eyes opened wide. “Whatever the case, there isn’t too much ti left. Little rascal, it’s up to you now!”
Damn! I hate these words the most! What do you an it’s up to ? What thing is up to !
“Isn’t that simple!?” Hong Dali frantically said, “Just make a large batch of armor that’s similar to my Holy Garnt and put a few real ones at the front. No one will check to see if they are real or fake, anyway! Such a simple thing and you still need to say it’s up to !?”
“Do you think the reporters are idiots!?” An Yangxu angrily said, “During the military parade, small-scale weapons will definitely need to be demonstrated! If not, who doesn’t know how to make a fake outer shell!? Think about it, during the demonstration, people will know only five are real and the rest are fakes. We might as well not display the Holy Garnts at all if this happens! You can even think of such an embarrassing idea!”
Well, this old guy’s temper is too hot. If we carry on discussing like this, I will definitely beco depressed again.
“Dali.” The mysterious man softly patted An Yangxu’s shoulder and looked at Hong Dali. His voice was very benevolent as he smiled and said, “We do indeed wish to display our newest weapon to the foreigners during the parade. Therefore, we really need your help to think of an idea for this matter...”
Then, he knew that he had underestimated this prodigal Hong Dali—Hong Dali didn’t even wait for him to finish speaking. He just grinned, grabbed the mysterious man’s hand, and stuffed a gold brick into his hand. “Oh my, mysterious Uncle, how are you doing? This gold brick is to boost your health and prosperity!”
Hong Dali’s action almost caused Tang Muxin and the rest of them who were fully suited to drop their jaws in shock.
Hong Dali didn’t watch the news normally, but they did. This person in front of them was the absolute boss of the Heavenly State, yet Hong Dali actually rewarded him a gold brick!? And in such a scenario!?
The mysterious man was also stunned. Should he slap Hong Dali, slap him, or slap him?
He didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, but after being stunned for a while, he didn’t act courteous and directly kept the gold brick. The mysterious man vigorously patted Hong Dali’s shoulder and said, “Little rascal, I realized that if I don’t call you this way, it’s really my loss.”
“You can call anything you want.” Hong Dali bead with delight and softly said, “I call the Bureau Chief Uncle. Your position is higher than his, so I shall call you Grandpa from now on, the Grandpa Mysterious!”
The Bureau Chief who was sitting behind and listening on him almost choked to death, a mouthful of water directly spurting out.
“You rank seniority this way?” The mysterious man didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. But he was almost 60-plus-years-old this year, it wasn’t too much for Hong Dali who was so young to call him Grandpa. But Grandpa Mysterious... Why did that sound so weird?
