Chapter 3093
Inside the office, Su Xiao was chewing on a Soul Crystal. In front of him were two black-clad men kneeling on one knee. These were members of 'Ear'.
"Understood, you may withdraw."
After listening to the report from the two black-clad men, Su Xiao waved his hand at them, signaling them to withdraw.
"Yes."
The two members of Ear withdrew, leaving only Su Xiao and Baha on the second floor of the office.
Just an hour ago, something happened. Aiqi, the host of the Devourer, and the Son of the World (Fake) cultivated by Kingsley, met by chance in Gaman City.
At such a juncture, Kingsley's pawn arrived in Gaman City. The purpose was already very clear: to train that pawn and let him participate in the Mermaid matter.
The entry point for the Mermaid matter in Gaman City was only the bombing of the Thorn Flower Press.
If Su Xiao guessed correctly, Kingsley did not directly order the white-haired boy; even the white-haired boy did not know that Kingsley was the person behind the scenes planning everything.
From the white-haired boy's perspective, everything was shrouded in mist, but with Su Xiao's identity and status, he already roughly knew what was going on.
First, Kingsley gave the white-haired boy a motivation, perhaps a mystery of his life experience, or finding relatives, saving relatives, etc.
After that, he began to free-range the white-haired boy. Now that the free-ranging was almost done, he let the white-haired boy unfold his actions.
The content of the action was, first, to investigate the Thorn Flower Press bombing case. If the white-haired boy was indeed a useful pawn, he would likely find out that this matter was related to Dangerous Object Mermaid at sea.
The situation after that was simple. Relying on the favor of the world, this white-haired boy joined the competition for Dangerous Object Mermaid.
According to the normal protagonist process, the white-haired boy faced many strong enemies, and then with the help of little friends + dog shit luck, successfully found Dangerous Object Mermaid and took her away. After that, relying on the Mermaid's ability, he rose rapidly, hanging and beating all kinds of stumbling blocks along the way, and finally stood at the peak of the strong.
Of course, this was the normal process. The reality was that if the white-haired boy really captured the Mermaid, he would be suppressed by an irresistible force, and then the Mermaid would disappear and end up in Kingsley's hands.
After Su Xiao brought the little boy from Winter Spring Town to the office, Kingsley no longer held any hope for the little boy's blood, thus changing his strategy, wanting to try the Mermaid side through the white-haired boy, that is, the characteristics of the Son of the World (Fake).
Su Xiao placed two gold coins on the table. The two pawns had already met. Since that was the case, he would add ingredients, let Aiqi, the host of the Devourer, also participate in the investigation of the Thorn Flower Press bombing, and then participate in the competition for Dangerous Object Mermaid.
The white-haired boy and Aiqi had already become little friends. Letting them both go to investigate the Thorn Flower Press bombing was a very good choice.
Su Xiao and Kingsley were the people sitting on both sides of the chessboard playing against each other. Su Xiao would not smash the pawns first, and Kingsley's side would not either. Letting the two pawns gradually approach the Mermaid was the best choice for either side at the moment.
If it really developed into a firefight between the 'Institution' and the 'Eclipse organization', whether it was the Southern Alliance, the Containment Hospital, the Finance Department, or the Eclipse organization's monastery and Chamber of Commerce Alliance, everyone would come out to stop it. If Su Xiao and Kingsley, two big daddies, clashed head-on, everyone else would be stunned.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao knew that the situation of competing for the Mermaid would be very interesting. He and Kingsley were on both sides, with their respective subordinates behind them, while the white-haired boy and Aiqi were at the very center of the event.
Since Kingsley's side was trying to capture the Mermaid by relying on the characteristics of the Son of the World, Su Xiao's side would not be stingy either. He was prepared to send the little boy's blood to Aiqi's hands through a 'coincidence'.
Whether it was the white-haired boy or Aiqi, in their cognition, they were both lone rangers, and neither knew who was standing in the shadows behind them.
The problem at the moment was that the white-haired boy had already made contact with the Thorn Flower Press bombing, while Aiqi had not yet participated in this matter.
Su Xiao took out Aiqi's information. This information was dozens of pages long, including all of Aiqi's secrets, even where he and his little girlfriend first did the deed, which was recorded on it. This was the terrifying thing about 'Ear'.
Su Xiao quickly locked onto a name, Xiya Suoya. This was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, 27 years old this year, running the Suoya Hotel in Gaman City. Not long ago, she was saved by Aiqi, avoiding being violated by several peripheral members of 'Iron Ring'. Now those members had disappeared and become nutrients for the flowers and plants in the suburbs.
After Xiya Suoya was saved by Aiqi, she gave Aiqi substantial thanks, giving Aiqi 4 million Tower Pounds. For Xiya Suoya, this money was not small, but not too much either.
Xiya Suoya was the entry point Su Xiao wanted. According to Aiqi's personality, it was absolutely impossible for this kid not to be moved by that mature imperial sister, but this kid loved his little girlfriend very much, so he would be moved at most, but would not put it into action.
Xiya Suoya had been saved by Aiqi, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary. Assuming Xiya Suoya encountered trouble, Aiqi would not stand idly by. For example, Xiya Suoya's father had shares in the Thorn Flower Press. After the Thorn Flower Press was bombed, Xiya Suoya's father was implicated.
This matter of course did not exist, but with Su Xiao's current identity, if he said it existed, then it could exist. Xiya Suoya's father was a wealthy merchant, and wealthy merchants in Gaman City could never bypass Ms. Xiulin of the containment organization. Wanting the other party to cooperate was very simple, and wealthy merchants were not bad at acting.
Su Xiao picked up the telephone receiver and dialed the operator girl. The operator girl transferred the call to a three-story mansion.
"May I ask who you are?"
A steady middle-aged male voice came from the phone.
"Containment Agency, Deputy Legion Commander of the Institution, Kukulin Bai Ye."
"Hahahaha, cough, hello, I am Dean Victor."
With a click, the phone was hung up.
In the living room of the mansion, Oliver, wearing silk pajamas, smiled and shook his head. He shook the red wine glass in his hand. With the popularization of dial phones, there were more and more inexplicable calls.
As a wealthy merchant in Gaman City, Oliver of course knew who the Deputy Legion Commander of the 'Institution', Kukulin Bai Ye, was. Would such a big shot call a small character like him in the middle of the night? It was simply a fantasy.
"What kind of thing is this."
Oliver was somewhat sleepy. He was going to take a nap.
Knock, knock.
A knock on the window came. A figure wearing a long white coat and a hood stood outside the window.
"Mr. Oliver, answer the phone. Our Legion Commander has something to find you. By the way, this is my proof of identity. Mr. Oliver, should I respectfully call you Dean Victor?"
The man outside the window smiled. The wealthy merchant Oliver was completely stunned. Just at this moment, the phone rang. The wealthy merchant Oliver's body trembled, and he hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. A voice came from the phone.
"Should I call you Dean Victor?"
"No, no, no, I am just Oliver. You are laughing at me. I just woke up, my head can't turn, so... haha."
"There is something for you to do."
The calm voice on the phone made Oliver break out in a cold sweat.
"You say, you say."
"You will have one leg broken, and large-scale soft tissue contusion on your face. In return, the import and export of people's livelihood supplies in Gaman City will count you in from now on. From now on..."
Oliver listened with full attention. Hearing the end, the fat on his face trembled, his heart both excited and worried.
"Mr. Oliver, start."
The man in the windbreaker jumped into the room, holding a baseball bat-like wooden stick in his hand. Before long, a burst of ghost-crying and wolf-howling sounds came out of the mansion.
Oliver shivered and leaned on the sofa, his body hurting to death, but his heart was so happy that he was about to jump up. That was the business of people's livelihood supplies. It looked ordinary, but in terms of import and export, it was strictly controlled. He was about to get a share of it.
"Help~"
Oliver shouted weakly. It was time to show his acting skills.
The next morning, Aiqi walked on the street. His head hurt a bit. Last night, he drank enough alcohol to make an ordinary person drunk to death hundreds of times, but he made a good friend. Although he had only met once, in the dark, he had a feeling of meeting late with the other party.
Aiqi stopped in front of the main entrance of the Suoya Hotel. He was now considered a rich man, but he did not immediately quit his job. He was worried that his too suspicious behavior would attract others' attention and take away the Devourer that gave him power.
After having the Devourer, Aiqi gave a heavy blow to the sinful people. He was no longer timid. Every night, he struck with heavy fists, and in the second half of the night, he went back to sleep. Now he no longer worked at night; he was very busy at night.
Walking into the Suoya Hotel, Aiqi found that the hotel was very cold, and only Ms. Xiya Suoya was sitting there, her face pale.
"Ms. Suoya, what is this?"
Aiqi stepped forward quickly. Xiya Suoya raised her head, her eyes dull.
"Is it Aiqi? Leave here. The Suoya Hotel will stop business at noon."
"What is this?"
Aiqi felt that things were unusual.
"Don't ask anymore. My family... is finished. Everything is finished. A few years ago, why did my father invest in that newspaper."
Xiya Suoya was not acting explosively, but the situation she knew was just like this. The family business was implicated, her father was beaten and injured, the whole family would decline, and finally be annexed.
"Ms. Suoya, if there is anything I can help with, please say."
"Thank you, Aiqi, but... no need. You are a good person."
"Is that so."
Aiqi lowered his eyelids. This feeling of not being trusted made his heart feel blocked.
Things had developed to this point, it was time for a hero to save the beauty. The script had long been arranged, and the first batch of actors was about to appear.
With a bang, the hotel door was kicked open. Several men with faces full of flesh walked into the hotel, all grinning.
"Who is Xiya Suoya."
Among these fierce-looking strong men, the bald head in the lead spoke, his eyes fierce.
Seeing these people, Xiya Suoya crossed her arms, and her body began to tremble slightly.
"Ms. Suoya, it's okay. If there's anything, you can tell me."
Aiqi's hand rested on Xiya Suoya's shoulder. Xiya Suoya raised her head, looking at Aiqi's gaze, as if meeting this person for the first time.
Pretending to be cool in front of this woman who was once unreachable, and it was an inadvertent cool, made Aiqi feel extremely refreshed in his heart. He tried to keep calm.
"Really... can you?"
"Can."
"Then..."
Xiya Suoya told the story in detail. After Aiqi listened, he lowered his head slightly.
Things had developed to this point, Aiqi was basically involved in the Thorn Flower Press bombing case. By noon at the latest, he would meet the white-haired boy by chance.
Several strong men stepped forward. On the hands of one of them, he wore a pair of silver metal gloves. The fingertips of these gloves were sharp claws. One look and one knew that these gloves were extraordinary.
Of course they were extraordinary. This thing was made of metal fragments left behind after an S-level dangerous object died, which was called 【Rift Kill】.
A small leader, qualified to use 【Rift Kill】? Moreover, 【Rift Kill】 had a characteristic: its size would adjust according to the size of the user's palm, and the gears distributed inside could rotate forward and backward.
More interestingly, Aiqi's usual palm was not large, and he could wear 【Rift Kill】. After entering the combat form through the Devourer, his figure and palms would become larger, just fitting the adjustable size characteristic of 【Rift Kill】.
Click! Click!
The strong man wearing 【Rift Kill】 tapped the palm of his left hand with his right fist. He didn't know yet that he was a small monster sent to be defeated, a small monster that would "drop" 【Rift Kill】 after being defeated.
A few minutes later, Aiqi wiped the blood from his face. Several strong men fell to the ground around him, groaning in pain.
Aiqi was about to walk towards Xiya Suoya when he noticed the metal gloves on one of the enemies' hands. He felt that this thing was extraordinary.
Aiqi tore off the two 【Rift Kill】 gloves from the strong man's hands. After putting them on his hands, sharp claws protruded from his fingertips with a click.
"From now on, this weapon belongs to me. What good luck."
With a thought from Aiqi, the metal claws on the fingertips of the 【Rift Kill】 gloves retracted, which made Aiqi like this weapon even more. This was simply tailor-made for him.
Across the street from the hotel, a homeless man got up. When he brushed past a man dressed as a worker, he whispered: "Send a message to the sir, the Devourer Aiqi has obtained 【Rift Kill】, and he will participate in the investigation of the Thorn Flower Press bombing."
