Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 20 Thank you and happy cooperation

"One hundred billion?" The two war gods Wang Tong and Li Que were secretly surprised when they heard this.

One hundred billion Chinese yuan is an astronomical figure even for a high-level war god.

For example, Wang Tong, although he is a high-level war god, he cannot come up with 100 billion Chinese yuan if it were him. Only Li Yao and Vinina, who have the support of the Pollenas family, one of the nine major families in the HR Alliance, can come up with this money.

However, being able to come up with 100 billion and being willing to come up with 100 billion as compensation are two different things.

Wang Tong looked at Li Yao in front of him.

"It seems that Wang Xiu also has a background. It depends on how much Li Yao is willing to give."

It's a very simple truth. If Wang Xiu had no background and was just an ordinary mid-level war god, what would it matter if he recognized the wrong person?
Even if I beat you up, you have to swallow this loss honestly.

However, since Wang Xiu has a background behind him, and judging from Li Yao's cautious attitude, the background must be quite powerful. It is inevitable that Li Yao will suffer a heavy loss in today's incident.

It's just a matter of more or less.

"One hundred billion is absolutely impossible!" Before Li Yao could say anything, Vinina, who was held hostage by Wang Xiu, spoke first.

Vinina gnashed her teeth, her cold face full of resentment, and said loudly to Li Yao in English:

"Yao, don't give him a penny!"

“Even if Awei died at the hands of a psychic, when Awei was in trouble, he, the God of War, was the only one closest to the scene!”

"As long as the murderer is not caught, he will be a suspect!"

"Don't give him any money, not even a penny. I'm from the Bolenas family, and I don't believe he dares to kill me in front of so many people!"

Li Yao's face changed when he heard this, and then he looked at Wang Xiu.

Sure enough, Wang Xiu showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and also ridiculed in fluent English:
"Dear Ms. Venina, do you have a big misunderstanding about Chinese education?"

"use English?"

"I know you're sad that your son died, but I think you're insulting my intelligence by doing this."

"You!" Vinina was immediately furious, but feeling the sword pressing harder and harder on her neck, she did not dare to move.

Wang Xiu ignored the furious Vinina and looked back at Li Yao:

"What about you? Do you have the same idea as this stupid bitch?"

Li Yao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Wang Xiu, calm down."

When saying this, Li Yao inexplicably felt a sense of absurdity.

A father who had just lost his own son was actually persuading a man who they had regarded as the murderer of their son not long ago to calm down.

But thinking that Vinina was still in Wang Xiu's hands, Li Yao could only calm down and look at Wang Xiu with sincere eyes:
"One hundred billion is really too much. How about this, let's each take a step back and ask for fifty billion?"

"Fifty billion?" Wang Xiu smiled and shook his head. "It seems that Vinina is not as important to you as I thought."

Then he pulled out a dagger from his waist with his left hand and was about to stab Vinina in the back.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yao was immediately anxious when he saw this. "80 billion! That's all we have. Don't force me!"

Wang Xiu's left hand movement suddenly stopped, he looked up at Li Yao, whose eyes were red and who looked as crazy as a wild beast, and thought to himself, it seems that this is almost the limit.

"Eighty billion?" Wang Xiu was ready to quit while he was ahead. "It's fine, but I don't like this number."

"You and I are both Chinese. How about 88.8 billion? I like this number."

Li Yao took a deep breath and tried hard to control the madness and murderous intent in his heart.

"Okay, then 88.8 billion Chinese Yuan!" Li Yao gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and said word by word.

"But I don't have that much liquid capital on hand..."

"Two hours!" Before Li Yao could finish his words, Wang Xiu interrupted him and said, "I'll give you two hours to collect the money."

"If you couldn't get together two hours ago, don't blame me for making a big deal out of it."

"I'm really curious, how did you know I was at the place where your son's accident happened?" "Satellite cloud map or some other method?"

Wang Xiu glanced at the smartwatch on his wrist and smiled at Li Yao.
"You don't want me to say something, right?"

Li Yao looked at Wang Xiu with a cold look in his heart.

The HR Alliance has monopolized almost the entire smart watch market in the world. The reason why he was able to lock on to Wang Xiu's location so quickly and asked the two great war gods, Wang Tong and Li Que, to track and hold Wang Xiu back was because the HR Alliance had left a backdoor on every smart watch it sold.

Anyone with S-level authority in the HR Alliance can use the HR Alliance's internal system to locate the location of everyone using a smart watch.

This secret must never be leaked out.

Otherwise, it will inevitably arouse public anger, and by then, even the HR Alliance may not be able to protect the couple.

"I understand. Two hours and one hundred billion!" Vinina suddenly said, "But I hope that from now on, we are even!"

Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that after Vinina calmed down, her IQ was back on top.

Thinking of this, looking at Vinina, who looked like a cold and elegant lady, Wang Xiu suddenly had an evil idea in his mind.

Wang Xiu smiled slightly and whispered in Venina's ear:
"You want to shut me up with just 10 billion?"

"unless……"

Vinina suddenly became furious, a strong murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but was then forcibly suppressed.

"Okay, I'll accept whatever your conditions are, but from now on, I want you to shut up!"

Seeing Vinina's appearance of a chaste and heroic woman, Wang Xiu suddenly lost interest in teasing her, and immediately stood up and said:
"Don't even think about it. You want it, but I don't want to give it to you."

"One hundred billion Chinese Yuan, you can now ask Li Yao to collect the money and transfer it."

……

Two hours later, Wang Xiu looked at the long string of zeros on the transfer information on his smart watch, and waved to Li Yao and his wife in front of him with a smile:

"It's a pleasure to work with you. See you again if we have the chance!"

"Wait a minute." Li Yao suddenly said, "Since you know that Ah Wei died at the hands of a psychic, then you must know who killed him, or have seen the appearance of the person who killed him."

"Can you tell us?"

"As long as you can help us find the murderer, I can give you another 100 billion!" Vinina on the side also said.

Wang Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with emotion: "As expected of the eldest princess of the Bolenas family, she is rich."

"But unfortunately, I can't help you with this."

After saying that, Wang Xiu turned and left.

This time, Mr. and Mrs. Li Yao did not say anything else.

Watching Wang Xiu's figure gradually disappear, the murderous intent in Li Yao's eyes was sometimes hidden and sometimes visible.

"Yao, I don't know why, but I always feel that he must be related to Awei's death." Vinina suddenly said.

"I know. He is a god of war. What a coincidence that he appeared in the same neighborhood where Awei appeared." Li Yao said coldly, "Oh, there are not so many coincidences in the world."

"Even if he didn't kill her, he must know who the murderer is!"

"At the very least, he has seen the murderer's figure and appearance."

"Unfortunately, he doesn't cooperate with us."

"What should we do now?" Vinina looked at Li Yao.

"Keep investigating! Check them one by one. The murderer is a psychic. He can't hide forever. We will find him one day!"

"As for Wang Xiu...we will settle our scores later!"
