Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 538: Aqi's Worries (Part 2)

Because it was just said by an insignificant person, if Wang Sheng were to formally negotiate, the other party could easily dismiss it with a casual 'no such thing was found'.

What could Wang Sheng do then? Unnecessarily become enemies with them? Force them to admit it? The Xia family wouldn't easily admit defeat.

Witnesses? That's a joke. That person has either already changed their name and appearance or has been silenced. An insignificant pawn from the Xia family in exchange for a nail in Wang Sheng's side is definitely worth it!

As for whether Wang Sheng would become estranged from Aqi because of this and no longer give her a chance to approach him? That's even more irrelevant. Aqi was originally sent to Wang Sheng to be killed. Wang Sheng showed her compassion and kept her, which is equivalent to keeping trouble by his side.

It wasn't as if they forced you to keep her. If you couldn't bear to kill her yourself, then don't blame others for using Aqi, this assassin, to the death.

The matter is disgusting, and Aqi wouldn't have told Wang Sheng if he hadn't asked.

But for Aqi, this is a huge threat. The other party can blatantly tell Wang Sheng that there's no such thing, but dare Aqi gamble on it? As long as the Xia family sends someone to tell her a little bit of detailed information, Aqi would probably believe it. If the Xia family wants to do something, Aqi would probably have to act according to their instructions.

"Then how do you plan to confirm it?" Wang Sheng sighed. Could he persuade Aqi to ignore it?

Although the so-called younger brother and Aqi have never met, let alone lived together, for Aqi, who had always thought she was an orphan, suddenly having a blood relative is extraordinary. If Wang Sheng were to persuade her otherwise, it would probably backfire.

"Didn't you remember being an orphan since you were little?" Wang Sheng could only remind Aqi from this aspect, hoping she wouldn't fall for the Xia family's trick.

"I remember having a younger brother when I was little, but we got separated later," Aqi said in Wang Sheng's arms, suddenly shedding tears. Even when her companions were killed by Wang Sheng, Aqi had never shed tears, but now, Aqi discovered that in Wang Sheng's arms, she was so helpless.

This is troublesome. The Xia family's understanding of Aqi is probably not ordinary. Thinking about it, to control Aqi as an assassin, how could they not investigate Aqi's ancestors for eight generations? Maybe this younger brother really exists, and this is the means to control Aqi.

"I'll try to spend less time with you, so even if they have something planned, I can make excuses," Aqi is very smart. She was once a successful assassin, and her mind is very flexible. "Anyway, it's easy to find a reason, just say that Madam Mei'er can't tolerate me. I'll find a chance to slowly inquire about news from the Xia family's side."

"Okay!" Wang Sheng nodded. This is also a solution, but it feels awkward no matter how he thinks about it. He could only suppress his displeasure and comfort Aqi, "You can also inquire about it here in Worry-Free City. I'll find someone from the capital to inquire about it too. You can use the gold coins in Worry-Free City as you please. After I go back, I'll have Madam Mei'er send you ten million gold coins. The Xia family isn't a monolith either. There are always people who like gold coins."

"My Lord," Aqi was moved by Wang Sheng's words and once again pressed her delicate face against Wang Sheng's chest, feeling the warmth Wang Sheng conveyed to her. She had never thought that Wang Sheng would actively care about her and ask about these things. She didn't know how to tell Wang Sheng before, for fear that Wang Sheng would abandon her as soon as she said it.

Now it's good. After saying it, the big stone blocking her heart has finally fallen. Wang Sheng didn't blame her for this, which made Aqi feel even more grateful for being by Wang Sheng's side. She also hated the Xia family even more.

"My Lord!" Aqi's words suddenly became shy, and even the delicate body Wang Sheng was holding became a little hot. "Whenever my Lord wants, I... I'll serve my Lord!"

"The day you're completely ready," Wang Sheng smiled and tightened his arm around Aqi's waist. "By the way, go to Worry-Free City and find someone to inquire about whether the Xia family's big shots have any relatives who aren't under their noses. I'll offer 100 million gold coins and find a chance to secretly get a few of them out."

If the other party controls Aqi's younger brother, Wang Sheng will kidnap the relatives of the Xia family's high-ranking officials. If they really can't reach an agreement, then they can exchange hostages. He believed that the relatives of some high-ranking officials were more important than the younger brother of an assassin, right?

Aqi's eyes also lit up. Although Wang Sheng didn't take action himself, the effect of this move was much better than if she took action herself. Especially since Wang Sheng was willing to spend gold coins. With 100 million gold coins, let alone just kidnapping a few relatives of high-ranking officials, even directly killing those high-ranking officials, I'm afraid some people would be tempted.

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng once again increased the price: "When I go back, I'll put up a few bounties in Worry-Free City and Divine Might Prison. The Xia Kingdom's ruler and elders, 100 million gold coins for a head. I don't believe they can still do things peacefully."

Isn't it just disgusting people? Wang Sheng put up a large number of bounties. Even if those assassins were afraid of the Xia family's power and didn't dare to act rashly, who could be sure that the people around those big shots wouldn't be tempted by the temptation of 100 million gold coins? As long as they know that someone has actually spent so much gold coins, those guys will probably have to sleep with their eyes open.

Moreover, now is not the time when no one dares to attack the Xia family. The Mountain Yue area controlled by Baoqing Yu Tang is in full swing with several families, and Wang Sheng is not going out in the Thousand Devil Land, so they can only bear the brunt. Especially the Xia family, which is the adjacent place, is under the greatest pressure. As soon as Wang Sheng puts up a bounty, it is equivalent to being attacked from both sides, which is definitely uncomfortable.

Aqi didn't know what to express anymore, she could only tightly hug Wang Sheng's strong waist, unable to say a word.

"By the way, you can use some news to gain their trust," Wang Sheng thought of something and suggested to Aqi, "I have already made a map of the core of the Thousand Devil Land and plan to sell it in a while. You can give them the news in advance and trick them first."

These big families have an extraordinary greed for the core of the Thousand Devil Land. Hearing this news, they will definitely want to buy the map from Wang Sheng at all costs. Wouldn't it be detrimental to me if everyone bought it, so the Xia family will definitely try to seek the upper hand, which will require paying a sufficient price.

And the price they use to buy this opportunity is probably the bounty for their own rewards, how ironic?

It was still a sad farewell, but this time, Aqi's heart was very different. With hope and a sense of security in her heart, she was no longer alone bearing all the pressure. That feeling was really good!
