Seeing a contract delivered so swiftly, Chen Suyi felt as though she had walked into the lion's den.
But after thinking it over, she decided there was nothing wrong with her decision and chose to sign her name and press her hand seal on the document.
Xu Hao slowly put away the contract, looked at Chen Suyi, and suddenly smiled, "Go, pour me a glass of water."
"Me???" Chen Suyi, looking bewildered, pointed at her own nose and asked.
"Yes, who else if not you?" Xu Hao said with a light smile.
"I... you... you're pushing it!" Chen Suyi was shaking with anger. At home, aside from serving elders tea or water, she had never served anyone else, nor had anyone dared to boss her around .
Yet now, Xu Hao was treating her like a maid!
Xu Hao smiled faintly, "What, you don't want to do it? Have you forgotten this?"
Xu Hao slowly reached into his chest pocket and pulled out the contract.
Chen Suyi's expression shifted slightly, and she reluctantly went to pour the tea.
Only after Chen Suyi had poured the water did Xu Hao speak, "Tonight's concert, I suspect that the other party will definitely send someone, and the mastermind behind them might even make a move personally. But we don't need to be afraid. You just need to do your jobs systematically, if they dare come, I will make sure they regret it!"
All the women nodded. In matters like these, even Chen Suyi wouldn't contradict Xu Hao. This was a matter of life and death, not child's play.
Xu Hao then said, "Since we are planning to eliminate some of their forces, let's be bold about it. Let's send out the death notice of those few individuals to prevent their deaths going unnoticed while the other side remains uninformed."
In a splendid European-style palace, a man dressed in a robe abruptly slapped a gold-plated table, sending the dishes on it flying high into the air, crashing to the ground into fragments.
A maid approached tremblingly, intending to clean up the fragments, but the man roughly grabbed her head and pressed down hard, causing her body to convulse uncontrollably until she died!
The elder, sitting in the highest seat, slightly frowned and said, "Tian Lei, don't be agitated. What good does it do to vent your anger on these servants?"
The elder waved his hand, and immediately two men approached, took away the dead maid's body, and cleaned the floor.
Tian Lei looked up at the elder, stood up, and respectfully said, "President, four Grandmaster Level Masters have died, they were our elites! And the enemy has even announced their deaths on the news, openly defying our authority! We must take revenge!"
The elder waved his hand, signaling him to sit down, then slowly said, "The loss of four masters is indeed painful to me personally, and revenge must be taken, otherwise, our fallen brothers will not rest easy, nor will I. However, the enemy's strength is formidable, suspected to be of Grandmaster level from Huaya. To take revenge, brute force is unwise; we must outsmart them."
Tian Lei, frustrated, said, "President, are you not a match for them either?"
The elder shook his head, "I cannot act rashly, you all understand why. Those two old fellows are watching. Although Immortal Bone is important, more crucial is the existence of our association. If I die, our whole association will collapse, and those two old men and their followers will definitely devour us completely!"
Tian Lei suddenly realized, his hatred had almost driven him to irrationality.
The youngest of those who died, Qiuzi, was his nephew. A martial arts prodigy, he had achieved Grandmaster Level strength at a young age, hailed as the most promising star of their family's new generation. MyVirtualLibraryEmpire(*)
This mission was not planned for him initially, but he lusted after Chen Suyi's beauty, hence requested to join. Tian Lei used his influence to agree, since he was already in his twenties, and going on a mission shouldn't have been a problem.
But to everyone's dismay, he actually died on that mission!
The elder looked at Tian Lei, with an indifferent voice said, "Tian Lei, you've been tired lately, go take a rest."
"Yes, I will take my leave," although Tian Lei knew the elder was somewhat displeased with him, thus didn't plan to let him hear the next plan, he dared not say anything. In this association, who would dare challenge the elder?
Watching Tian Lei slowly leave the hall, the elder suddenly stood up and said, "Gentlemen, I already have a strategy in mind; no need for further discussion. We'll hijack their plane. On the plane, even if that young man is powerful, he won't be able to cause much trouble.
By then, they will have to comply with our people. Since our people are not afraid of death but they are, we can force them to submit and make them swallow my specially made pills, getting them completely under our control!"
