Chapter 425: Ambition to Seize Korea

~7 min read 1,322 words

The chaebols of Korea are very good at enjoying life; there is a team of over thirty servants in the manor serving the members of the Li family, who only come here to rest occasionally, at all times.

Because the eldest daughter of the family was in the manor at this time, the white-haired butler was carefully confirming the dining and living details in the Garden.

Bai Cangshu was wearing only a pair of trunks, lying on a chair by the pool.

The servants had long since prepared fruits and refreshments in advance, all of which were likely exquisite, high-end goods.

The white-haired old man's peripheral vision had been sizing up the man this eldest young lady brought back; the other party was handsome and strong, not looking like someone from a place like Myanmar North.

He did not expect that Miss Li Qingzi, who had always been so strong-willed and arbitrary, would actually bring back a man without a sound, and she seemed to be... obedient to his every word.

The old man was very good at observing expressions; although the two did not show it obviously, from the way Li Qingzi occasionally looked at the man, he could feel that in the relationship between these two, it was not his young lady who occupied the dominant position.

And this point, he had already truthfully reported to the true master of the March Conglomerate—Lixianhou.

He pressed his earpiece, heard the report from the manor entrance security, and knowing that Lixianhou had already arrived at this place, he went to the other party's side.

"Mr. Bai, Chairman Lixianhou has arrived; he wishes to see you."

The old man did not rely on a translator; although his pronunciation was not standard, it was enough for communication.

He had not previously shown any signs of knowing Dongxia language in front of Li Qingzi and Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu, lying on the chair, opened his eyes, glanced at this deep and meticulous old man, then closed his eyes again, only saying:

"I am tired; have him come to see me."

His tone was casual, and he did not have much special respect for the old man who had started from scratch to create the March Conglomerate.

The white-haired butler was startled and opened his mouth to rebuke the other party, but held it back; fortunately, Li Qingzi walked out from the inner chamber at this moment.

This woman seemed to have just bathed and had changed into a red and black long dress, atmospheric and enchanting.

Bai Cangshu's nose twitched; he smelled a special scent, a new scent on this woman's body.

Even though she used perfume to cover it up after bathing, Bai Cangshu's sensory ability was now exceptionally high, and he could still detect the changes in the other party's body.

"You go and invite Grandfather over; I will explain it to him."

Li Qingzi's expression was cold but arrogant; she knew Bai Cangshu's thoughts very well, and in fact, her own thoughts were becoming closer and closer to his.

The rules of the world had changed silently, and the definition of "power" in this world had been secretly modified.

Wealth, power, and even armies were no longer absolute power.

And they, the Reincarnators, especially high-level Reincarnators, were the true power itself!

Lixianhou was wearing a loose white robe; although he was well-maintained, the state of old age could not be hidden.

He leaned on his cane and entered from the Garden, only to see his eldest granddaughter, on whom he pinned high hopes, standing behind a man with his upper body bare; although she was looking at him, she did not step forward to welcome him.

Lixianhou's smile remained as it was; he waved his hand, signaling the directors, butlers, and bodyguards behind him to disperse, then walked alone to the poolside.

He looked down at the man with his eyes closed; just by looking with the naked eye, he could feel the powerful vitality in the other party, completely different from himself, an old man who had begun to head toward the grave.

The other party was clearly in his own manor, yet his demeanor was as if he were the guest.

Li Qingzi was about to speak, but Lixianhou had already sat down on another lounge chair.

He spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Mr. Bai is that kind of person with special talents, is he not?"

Li Qingzi looked at her grandfather, preparing to translate truthfully, but Bai Cangshu raised his hand; before returning to the real world, he had also found someone to cast a Constant Language Proficiency Magic.

【Constant·Language Proficiency (C·Buff) — You will be able to automatically understand and master most human languages that do not possess mysterious power.】

For only 800 Dimension Points, one could easily master nearly a hundred languages through a magic that could not be considered very high-level; Reincarnators possessed an overwhelming advantage over ordinary humans.

"My granddaughter is also involved in this."

Because his financial resources and power were large enough, Lixianhou had naturally realized through various information channels that more and more Ability Users were appearing in the world today.

Those guys had even clashed with the current order outside the waters of Aozhou Dao a few days ago.

Based on this understanding, he soon realized that there were probably many such Ability Users hiding among ordinary people.

Consequently, his granddaughter Li Qingzi, who was excellent but always involved in various "incidents," was also guessed by him to belong to that same category.

Bai Cangshu's mysterious appearance and Li Qingzi's obedience to him both had explanations.

Lixianhou did not need Bai Cangshu to answer; he was just stating that he knew all of this.

He then looked at his most proud granddaughter and shook his head with a sigh.

"You, oh you, your vision is small after all."

"Since you had that kind of opportunity, why hide? If I had had this information early on, I could have helped you win over more of those people long ago, and our March Conglomerate would have long since..."

In just a few words, the old man expressed quite a bit of regret.

Li Qingzi raised her eyes; although she knew her grandfather was an excellent person, his reaction and courage at such a time still moved her.

Bai Cangshu opened his eyes at this time, his eyes full of appreciative smiles.

Bai Cangshu clapped his hands and then sat up from the lounge chair.

"Not bad, Chairman Lixianhou, you are indeed more talented than her."

Bai Cangshu appreciated these people with outstanding talents; if the other party could become a Reincarnator, he imagined that even if his combat talent was not as good as Li Qingzi's, his development potential would likely not be weaker than Li Qingzi's.

The difference between the two lay in their thinking; for a long time, Li Qingzi still maintained the "ordinary person" mode of thinking.

If Bai Cangshu were the eldest son of the March Conglomerate, he would have probably already seized control of the conglomerate and then used the conglomerate's power to hunt down Reincarnators on a large scale without any scruples.

For the Reincarnators within Korea, the local emperor, the March Conglomerate, was itself a huge threatening force.

Li Qingzi, however, only used information channels in a limited way, still thinking of hiding her own weak-person mindset.

"It seems that cooperating with you is a good idea."

Bai Cangshu smiled; Lixianhou paused for a moment and immediately reached out his hand.

Lixianhou felt that this young man had completely seen through his thoughts, and his speed of thought transformation was so fast that he, in his old age, was already having trouble keeping up.

"In this era of great change, we should hold this country in our own hands."

Lixianhou shook hands with Bai Cangshu, both of them revealing smiles of Greed Sin.
