Yang Tian and Huang Yilong swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, repeating in their minds, "Damn! Damn! Damn!"
Xia Liu actually claimed himself as a good citizen!
And he said he wouldn't kill anyone, despite them seeing that whole ship of pirates numbering over a hundred!
They had just witnessed a brutal episode!
To Xia Liu, killing seemed as natural as eating or drinking water. If he desired, Ye Yiming could be dead at any moment...
Yang Tian and Huang Yilong's backs were soaked with cold sweat, remembering that Xia Liu had invited them to a meal.
They might have had an excuse to leave earlier, but now they dared not leave.
They had driven their own cars over, so they followed Xia Liu's car leisurely to the restaurant.
As for Ye Yiming, they didn't care about him or feel sympathy for him.
In the car, Xia Liu shook the hand he had used to block Ye Yiming's punch.
Although he had summoned some Spiritual Energy earlier, his hand still felt a bit spicy. After all, he was at the Peak of the Mysterious Rank, just one step away from the Earth Rank.
Xia Liu estimated that without unsealing his powers, his cultivation was about comparable to the Mid-Level Mysterious Rank. However, Spiritual Energy was more advanced than Inner Qi, so it should match up to the Peak of the Mysterious Rank.
Looking back at the incident, Xia Liu felt regretful. In the future, he couldn't be so careless. If Ye Yiming concentrated all his Inner Qi in his punch, recklessly blocking it could have resulted in injuries.
Xia Liu took Yang Tian and Huang Yilong back to the Longteng Hotel.
These two had Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform. Not treating them to a meal would have been somewhat remiss.
Thus, Xia Liu booked a private room and allowed them to order dishes and drinks freely.
Yang Tian and Huang Yilong felt awkward, unsure how to order dishes in front of Xia Liu.
Eventually, being to polite to refuse, they ordered the cheapest dishes on the menu.
When they entered the hotel earlier, they had heard staff addressing Xia Liu as "Chairman."
Clearly, he was the boss here, and if they ordered expensive dishes and upset him, they could end up being coerced into making a donation. That would be damn annoying.
During the meal, Fang Fei and Huang Xue knocked and entered. They hadn't been able to wake up earlier but, hearing from the staff that Xia Liu was here, they hurried over to apologize.
"Sister Fang, Xue'er, you're up," Xia Liu greeted.
"Sorry, Xia Liu, we didn't join you for the bidding today," Fang Fei apologized.
"Me too, how did it go? Did we win it?" asked Huang Xue.
Upon seeing Xia Liu, the two women immediately started apologizing.
"Of course we won, but I have to thank these two friends here," Xia Liu said, pointing towards Yang Tian and Huang Yilong.
"Oh, isn't that Yang Tian and... what's his name? I forgot," Fang Fei said, puzzled upon seeing them.
If she hadn't lost her memory, these guys should have been in Liu Hai, not at Hejing.
"Miss Fang, I'm Huang Yilong. I didn't expect to see you here," Huang Yilong awkwardly greeted.
"Hmm, quite a coincidence, really, thank you for helping Xia Liu get the development rights," Fang Fei nodded her head lightly, responding politely to Huang Yilong.
"Miss Fang, please don't be too formal with us. Being able to help our benefactor is truly our blessing," Yang Tian said with a grateful smile.
Internally, he was already crying tears of despair. If he had known this trip would cost them fifty million for nothing, who the hell would have come here?
"Hehe, Xia Liu, you're amazing. Could you tell me and Sister Fang about the bidding process?" Huang Xue asked, her eyes wide with excitement.
Yang Tian and Huang Yilong looked at Huang Xue, then at Fang Fei and Xia Liu, and couldn't help but feel envious.
They could easily see the relationship Xia Liu had with the two women.
One stunning to perfection, surpassing even a Heavenly Immortal, and another alluring and mature, holding a distinguished status.
Either of them alone was enough to drive the men of the entire city mad, but now it seemed they had both been recruited by Xia Liu.
While sighing, Yang Tian stepped forward to shine, detailing the bidding process thoroughly.
As Yang Tian finished speaking, two more girls entered the private room, Li Qianqian and Zhang Xiaoxue.
"Oh, we have guests?" Both girls blinked their large eyes and said somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing Li Qianqian and Zhang Xiaoxue entering, Yang Tian and Huang Yilong felt as if Xia Liu had just force-fed them ten thousand tons of dog food.
Having two such women was already defying the heavens, and now there were two more.
But that wasn't all; they also got along very well.
The most freaking crucial point was that they were all top-notch beauties.
They had the figures and the faces.
Yang Tian and Huang Yilong felt like they had wasted their more than twenty years of life.
It's true they were wealthy, but compared to Xia Liu, they were mere dirt.
"Xiaoxue, why are you up too?"
"Sister Fang, Sister Xue'er, our office isn't set up yet, so we need to hurry over," Zhang Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"Oh right! I almost forgot," Huang Xue said, slapping her forehead.
"Hehe, then, Xia Liu, you guys go ahead and eat. My sisters and I will head off to work," Fang Fei said as she left with the three girls.
"Benefactor, I really want to kneel before you and beg you to teach me the art of picking up girls!" Yang Tian said to Xia Liu, his eyes trembling.
"Ha! Sure, as long as the tuition is paid in full, I guarantee beauties will flock to you," Xia Liu said with a cheerful smile.
At those words, Yang Tian and Huang Yilong instantly went quiet.
Just walking into Hejing meant casually losing fifty million, if learning the skills to pick up girls, without ten or twenty billion, it might be tough.
If they were willing to spend that much, they could just hook up with a hundred third-tier actresses and even make them pretend to get along well.
Sigh, thinking of these things, Yang Tian and Huang Yilong could only silently swallow their tears.
Xia Liu wasn't going to scam Yang Tian and Huang Yilong over this meal. Earlier, they had been too scared to order the expensive dishes.
But feeling guilty, Xia Liu had many fine dishes served and ordered a lot of high-end liquor.
After all, they'd spent a billion on this meal, they had to order the good stuff.
During the meal, Yang Tian and Huang Yilong were extremely nervous, afraid they might be schemed against by Xia Liu again, but thankfully, nothing happened in the end.
"Then, benefactor, thank you for your hospitality. Yilong and I will head back first," Yang Tian and Huang Yilong said, not daring to stay with Xia Liu anymore, since they had no idea what they might be tricked into next.
"Don't rush off, guys. I'd like to offer you a fortune," Xia Liu said with a smile.
At that word, Yang Tian and Huang Yilong's hairs stood on end—they hadn't forgotten. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire
Just now Xia Liu had said the same thing to Ye Yiming, and now it was uncertain if Ye Yiming would live to see tomorrow's sun.
Facing the word "fortune," both men were deeply terrified.
"Benefactor! Please, we beg you, we won't dare again!" Yang Tian and Huang Yilong looked at each other and immediately knelt in front of Xia Liu.
Now they had cast aside all dignity, hoping only to preserve a way out and stay healthy.
