Chapter 681: Chapter 678 Overseas Alliance
"You brat, you think I’ll be honest just because you say so? Do you really take
for a modern Chen Shii!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao’s tense expression turned sinister, muttering arrogantly to himself, "I don’t believe in bad luck, tonight I’ll make sure to handle little Jingwei!"
He placed his hand on the doorknob, just about to push the door open, when he suddenly realized, "Wait a second, how did Bi Fang find out about Luo Jingwei? Could it be that old gambler snitched?"
"It shouldn’t be. Just now, he was patting
on the back, complinting my taste, so why would he turn around and snitch? Besides, he values this job too much, he’d never do that!"
Ring ring.
A ssage ca in. Qin Hao checked his phone and his face turned into a wry smile.
"Brother, I’m really sorry, sister noticed my weird expression, I couldn’t hold back and..."
The text was from Xixi. Now it all made sense.
"So it was Little Angel who tattled!"
Qin Hao felt a sense of loss, helplessness upon helplessness.
Xixi is precociously intelligent, and Bi Fang is no less shrewd, surely the tigress noticed sothing odd with Xixi’s deanor, pressured her, and Xixi, being an obedient child, accidentally spilled the beans.
"Damn it, seems like I really have to behave this ti!"
Qin Hao reverted back to a pitiful role. If even Xixi can be pressured, then weak-willed Father Bi is a foregone conclusion. If he truly were to handle Luo Jingwei, tomorrow might see him greeting the tigress’s high heels.
Moreover, due to Father Bi’s work, the tigress can pop by my hideout anyti she wants.
The thought alone is terrifying!
In an instant, Qin Hao’s last bit of desire was crushed. Exiting the restroom, he put on a serious face: "Jingwei, I have so urgent matters to handle. You can rest here tonight, and tomorrow I’ll arrange a place for you."
Luo Jingwei was feeling chaotic, and upon seeing Qin Hao about to leave, her eyes flashed with deep disappointnt.
But she didn’t pry further; after all, she’s already found Qin Hao’s hideout, so why worry about not seeing him again?
"Alright, you go then."
Luo Jingwei forced a smile, making Qin Hao secretly click his tongue: "Damn, just realized Jingwei’s smile looks better than before."
Not wanting to make a mistake, he had to push open the door and leave, making sure Father Bi sees he wasn’t staying in the room. Otherwise, who knows what kind of scenes he and Tom might imagine.
...
In the dimly lit room, around a rectangular office table, several foreign power tycoons sat silently.
There was a chandelier on the ceiling, but because it was nightti and everyone was in a foul mood, the light bulb was temporarily disabled.
The group had already sat in darkness for ten minutes, during which no one spoke.
Finally, the first voice broke the silence: "Did we call an ergency eting just to sit in silence?"
The voice was Brown’s, as cold as ever.
"The old cowboy is right, we’ve all weathered storms, why sit here feeling sorry for ourselves?"
The gravelly voice belonged to Augustine, leader of the Black Evil Group. He was a two-ter-tall black man, whose skin, save for his white teeth and bright eyes, blended into the darkness.
Cerro’s rough voice chid in: "Haha, Augustine, we’re all adults, no need for your comforting words."
The Viking Pirates and Augustine were adversaries; if not for the threat of death, they would never sit together for a eting.
"Cerro, what do you an by that!"
Augustine’s tone was very angry.
Cerro laughed mockingly: "True warriors are fearless and wouldn’t speak words of self-comfort. For you to say that ans you’re scared to death inside!"
"You damn dwarf!"
Augustine slamd the table and leapt to his feet, furious and ready to charge at Cerro.
Bang!
After the sound of a gun, a bullet hole appeared on the table in front of Augustine. The sudden change cald him down, and he looked coldly at Brown, "Old cowboy, what do you an by this!"
Brown’s revolver was still smoking. After blowing out the smoke, he said coldly, "What exactly are you afraid of!"
"You!"
Augustine appeared enraged, not expecting his inner panic to be seen through.
As a leader, he naturally had a high level of cunning, but at this mont, fear made him irritable.
The reason was simple: that man seed to be coming!
"Fine, I’m scared, alright..."
Augustine sighed sadly and reluctantly sat back down, looking up, "Go ahead and laugh at . When the Night Emperor’s blade arrives, you’ll know why I’m afraid."
In fact, Augustine had never even t the Night Emperor. The reason for his fear stemd from the fact that before he debuted, the strongest warrior in his family had been killed by the Night Emperor.
That warrior had been his childhood idol. The fear that ca with the idol’s death was naturally much more intense.
"Dear friends, who would laugh at you? Isn’t everyone gathered here because they’re afraid of the Night Emperor?"
Sly Trish, rarely solemn, maintained a serious deanor.
So far, his clever mind was working rapidly, thinking of various strategies against the Night Emperor.
"Old Cui, at least you’re real, much better than so hypocrites!"
Augustine glared angrily into a corner of the darkness, where Cerro was grinning arrogantly.
"Alright, let’s get down to business."
As Brown’s voice trailed off, Trish suggested, "We’re all gathered here because we’re afraid of the Night Emperor’s insane revenge."
With these words, the leaders in the darkness all nodded.
Ever since the failed assassination attempt on the Night Emperor yesterday, it signified that they had lost another precious opportunity to kill their enemy.
If the rumors on the streets of the Night Emperor’s vengefulness were true, everyone present faced a threat to their lives.
Trish continued, "To execute yesterday’s mission, we lost a comrade to that damn Huaxia Martial Artist. Three comrades were also injured. Under such circumstances, our Alliance is already facing the threat of collapse."
Pausing here, he then said solemnly, "I propose that from now on, we must unite together!"
The silence at the scene signified agreent.
Soon, soone asked, "Then, the core question is: who exactly will lead this Alliance?"
As the words fell, the whispering of the leaders in the dark began, as they once again debated leadership just like the last ti unity was proposed.
After a while, Brown said seriously, "I will only accept myself as the leader."
His words drew discontent from many, but no one spoke up. Expecting tough Brown to bend was probably the biggest challenge.
