Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Shi Family Rebellion (Second Update)
Tan Xiaoyu spoke coldly as well, “My father is right, these people are despicable, dedicating their lives to demons to harm the common folk. I, Tan Xiaoyu, will also stand against them unwaveringly.”
Qin Yu looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and with a trembling voice said, “In that case, the Qin Family thanks you all!”
Just as everyone was leaving the building, preparing to drive to the location of the negotiation.
A very unremarkable car stopped by the road; then, Du Fan got out of the car and quickly walked to Qin Yu’s side, speaking with a grave expression.
“I’ve just received news that the Shi Family in the provincial city has suddenly betrayed us, and in an unforeseen assault, swept through the provincial city. All of the Qin Family’s forces have been annihilated, and Feng Chaosi from the Feng Family is missing! It is also heard that Shi Hao has been placed under house arrest, and the traitor is likely the former Family Head, Shi Dong.”
On hearing this message, Qin Yu’s face changed dramatically, “That old fox, Shi Dong, has turned traitor at this time?”
The rest were also filled with righteous indignation.
Only Qin Yuan maintained a calm demeanor and indifferently said, “This is not surprising. To someone like Shi Dong, loyalty is far less important than self-interest. With the demons gaining strength, it’s natural for him to contemplate rebellion.”
At this moment, Qin Yu was out of sorts, her voice tinged with panic as she asked, “Grandfather, what do we do now?”
Losing the provincial city was a fatal blow for the Qin Family, already in a precarious situation.
It meant they had just lost a significant bargaining chip at the negotiation table.
That’s why Qin Yu was so flustered.
But Qin Yuan remained calm.
For someone who had started from nothing and weathered countless storms, keeping calm was always paramount, no matter the situation.
“When an army comes, we block; when the flood waters come, we pile up earth. No matter how powerful the opponent, never let them easily see through your hand. Understand?” Qin Yuan said lightly.
Qin Yu, taken aback, then nodded deeply, “Understood!”
“Let’s go! We’re setting out!”
With that, Qin Yuan stepped forward, his back, though weathered with decades of vicissitudes, was still as upright as a sword.
The negotiation took place in a high-end hotel in Beijiang.
Of course, due to the chaos in the world, the hotel had long closed its doors.
However, when they arrived, there were people waiting in front of the hotel, who silently led the way in after seeing the group.
Tan Dong whispered to his daughter, “Do you see it?”
Tan Xiaoyu, with a somber expression, nodded slightly, “It must be someone from the Heavenly Human Realm.”
“A Heavenly Being Realm expert being sent to play the role of a doorman, has Qin Tian grown so powerful now?” Tan Dong frowned slightly, a worried look appearing on his face.
In the hotel’s meeting room.
As everyone entered, Qin Tian, sitting in the main seat, just glanced up, then leisurely continued to fiddle with the lighter in his hand.
Everyone stood in silence.
Qin Yuan, at the forefront, said indifferently, “Qin Tian, let’s not waste words, what exactly do you want? Put everything on the table and talk.”
Qin Tian laughed, “Qin Yuan, you really haven’t changed. When I was the general manager of the corporation, you were like this, and you’re still the same now! Always with the attitude of a benefactor!”
Qin Yu’s expression shifted slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Qin Yuan gently shook his head, indicating for her to remain quiet.
“Very well, since you’ve said to put everything on the table and talk, then I’ll tell you! What I want is everything the Qin Family has!” Qin Tian said, his face revealing a ferocious expression.
Qin Yuan remained silent for a moment before saying, “Qin Tian, do you think such a demand is possible?”
Qin Tian snorted coldly, leaning back in his chair and staring at Qin Yuan, “My dear uncle Qin Yuan! I think you haven’t realized yet that this is not an equal negotiation, but you begging me! Surrender everything obediently, and I may spare your lives! If not willing…”
With the sound of Qin Tian’s voice, dark energy surged in a corner of the meeting room, a powerful presence looming over everyone.
Tan Dong, Tan Xiaoyu, and the others stepped forward in unison, shielding Qin Yuan and the rest.
Qin Yuan waved his hand, signaling them to step back, then said in a deep voice, “Qin Tian, have you truly sold yourself to the devil?”
“Hehe! What do you mean by ‘sold myself to the devil’? Haven’t you realized yet, Qin Yuan? The world has changed. Deities have descended, and from now on, they will rule the world. If we humans want to survive, we can only become their servants! A fair exchange, that is something you once taught me!”
At this point, Qin Tian was getting impatient, “Give me an answer now, will you hand it over or not! Otherwise, if it were someone else negotiating with you, there would not be such favorable terms!”
Qin Yuan’s expression was as still as water, about to speak.
Then they saw a figure slowly appearing on the chair beside Qin Tian and heard an icy and arrogant voice.
“Qin Tian, Miss Long’Er is very dissatisfied with your progress in Beijiang!”
The crowd was stunned for the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Tian immediately stood up and moved to the side.
At that moment, the figure gave an evil smile toward everyone.
“Ladies and gentlemen, long time no see!”
Qin Yu was the first to recognize the visitor, grinding her teeth with hatred, “Hong Ming, it’s actually you!”
Indeed, it was none other than Hong Ming, who had once secretly loved Fan Mengxue, opposed Xue An time and again, and ultimately led to his entire family being expelled from the country, disappearing without a trace.
But the person standing before them now was completely different from before.
An intricate rune was marked on his forehead, and his eyes had turned into reptilian slits, his body emanating a non-human, formidable aura.
“Miss Qin actually remembers me, this truly honors me!” said Hong Ming indifferently, though his eyes shimmered with excitement.
Qin Yu felt the evil gaze from Hong Ming and involuntarily shuddered, instinctively taking two steps back.
“Hehe, even the once imposing Miss Qin knows fear, it seems!” Hong Ming said with a sneer.
At that moment, Tan Xiaoyu stepped forward, placing herself in front of Qin Yu, and said coldly, “Hong Ming, what do you want to do?”
Hong Ming let out a sinister laugh, “What do I want to do? Naturally, I want to * you and Qin Yu!”
Tan Xiaoyu snorted angrily and charged, lifting her leg to kick.
Now with the cultivation level of a Heavenly Being, her kick was fierce and undoubtedly lethal.
Yet Hong Ming didn’t even flinch, reaching out a hand and grabbing Tan Xiaoyu’s ankle, then sneered, “So eager to throw yourself at me?”
Then with a violent tug,
A crack was heard as Tan Xiaoyu’s ankle was mercilessly crushed.
Even so, Tan Xiaoyu merely grunted and twisted her body, her other foot aiming a direct kick at Hong Ming’s head.
Hong Ming chuckled darkly, not bothering to dodge as layers of fine scales surfaced on his head.
The rebound from her kick fractured the bones and tore the tendons in Tan Xiaoyu’s other foot as well.
What do you think?
