Chapter 1086: Pink Skull
Ning Jianghe looked at Liu Zixuan, his expression changed slightly, and the smugness on his face became even more pronounced.
His hands rested on the table, greed flickered in his eyes as he gazed at Liu Ruyan’s delicate face, then coldly spoke to Liu Zixuan: "If you insist on saying it this way, there’s no problem. Saving you is saving President Liu, saving the entire Xiumei Group!"
Liu Zixuan exhaled smoke leisurely twice and sighed lightly: "Ruyan, did you hear that? I’m suddenly very moved, Dragon Spirit has been so good to me!"
Liu Ruyan merely smiled faintly, but inside she was infuriated. At a time like this, you can still joke around, your heart is really bold.
In the midst of talking, Ning Jianghe signaled to the pretty Secret Technique beside him.
The pretty Secret Technique nodded, took out two contracts from a nearby bag, and first placed one in front of Liu Zixuan.
Ning Jianghe began to speak: "Elder Wang mentioned before coming here that you and he were friends once, so considering past feelings, he’ll grant you the greatest forgiveness."
"Then I have to thank him." Liu Zixuan replied sarcastically with a smile.
"No thanks needed, Elder Wang is busy and has no time to hear such thanks." Ning Jianghe pointed to the contract and said: "The contract has already stated, we preserve your life, but you must relinquish everything, transferring the ownership of Xiumei Group to President Liu, then you must publicly declare your withdrawal from the Martial Realm, and also be crippled in both arms."
Saying this, Ning Jianghe took another contract from the secretary’s hand and handed it to Liu Ruyan: "As long as you do all of the above, the groups under Dragon Spirit will join forces with President Liu to build the strongest group in the world."
Hearing this, Liu Zixuan looked at Ning Jianghe with a half-smile: "The strongest group? Is this Elder Wang’s exact words?"
"That’s right!"
"Looks like Dragon Spirit and Netherworld Hall are already in collusion! Netherworld Hall wants to be number one in the Martial Realm, and you Dragon Spirit want to be number one in the Business World. If you weren’t in collusion, I’m afraid Elder Wang wouldn’t dare to make such boastful claims!" Liu Zixuan laughed.
Ning Jianghe frowned slightly: "That’s none of your business."
"So what if I don’t sign this contract?"
Ning Jianghe sneered and sat down on the chair, puffing on a cigar: "If you don’t sign, you will die, Xiumei Group will close down, and everything you have will go up in smoke, of course, the beauty beside you, I will take good care of her for you!"
As he spoke, Ning Jianghe greedily glanced at Liu Ruyan again.
Not to mention Dragon Spirit’s intentions, it’s likely that the last remark about taking care of Liu Zixuan’s beauty is Ning Jianghe’s personal intention.
Before Liu Zixuan could speak, Qiqi, looking at Ning Jianghe’s smug face, suddenly yelled: "You bastard!"
"Humph!" Ning Jianghe snorted disdainfully: "What’s this? The mighty Liu Zixuan who was once known as Master Xuan, now lets a five or six-year-old girl speak for him?"
Liu Zixuan leaned back in the chair and did not speak, his eyes fixed on Ning Jianghe!
Just in that moment, Ning Jianghe suddenly felt a powerful icy blast pass by, immediately followed by a sound in his ear.
The Martial Artist resting with his eyes closed on the sofa, seeming extremely cool, suddenly had a red dot as big as a thumb appear between his eyebrows. And at that instant, he fell on the sofa.
Both Ning Jianghe and the pretty Secret Technique glanced over, seeing that the Dragon Soul Sect’s super expert, who was just sitting mightily and keenly on the sofa, supporting the scene so steadily, had quietly died in less than a breath’s time.
To say that Martial Artist was truly unfortunate, from the moment Liu Zixuan and others came in, he hadn’t said a word, hadn’t even opened his eyes, and yet died like that.
Of course, it was also his fault for being too arrogant, only thinking Liu Zixuan’s Realm was sealed making him a mere mortal, while Liu Ruyan was indeed mortal, but failing to realize that beside Liu Zixuan was a formidable Qiqi!
In an instant, the room’s temperature seemed to freeze at its peak, with the atmosphere becoming eerie.
Sweat beads poured down Ning Jianghe’s forehead uncontrollably.
Liu Zixuan looked at Ning Jianghe, then at the slightly calm pretty secretary: "Why suddenly quiet? Weren’t you negotiating terms with me just now?"
"Master Xuan, one doesn’t hit a smiling face, isn’t this going too far?"
The secretary, seeing the Martial Artist dead, was slightly startled but showed no panic, clearly not just an ordinary character.
As her voice fell, Qiqi prepared to get up, but Liu Zixuan stopped her.
"Did Elder Wang not tell you that I, Liu Zixuan, never do things by the book?"
From the moment he entered, Liu Zixuan sensed this woman was unusual. First, Dragon Spirit wouldn’t be foolish enough to send just one Half-Step Emperor Realm Martial Artist to protect Ning Jianghe, even though Liu Zixuan’s Realm was sealed, he still had experts beside him.
Letting Ning Jianghe come in so arrogantly, there must be a backup plan.
The Martial Artist wasn’t anything special, just a Half-Step Emperor Realm. Ning Jianghe was just an ordinary businessman, so their only backup could be this very pretty female secretary.
In these negotiation settings, pretty women typically play two roles: one is the angel, who can nonchalantly maintain the situation steady and alleviate awkward atmosphere, exactly like Liu Ruyan.
And the other is the pink skeleton!
Pink skeletons, these people use their impressively glamorous appearances to deceive everyone, while simultaneously paralyzing you and attacking you suddenly!
Hence, this pretty Secret Technique is undoubtedly a pink skeleton level individual.
The pretty secretary slightly furrowed her brows, indeed Elder Wang had mentioned Liu Zixuan is someone who never plays by the rules, and a person with extremely meticulous mind.
But upon entering, the pretty secretary felt Elder Wang may have overly praised Liu Zixuan, as Ning Jianghe’s repeated conversations with him seemed to show Liu Zixuan as not being particularly strong.
Yet, under such weak appearance, he unexpectedly wiped out a Half-Step Emperor Realm expert with mere gestures!
This unorthodox approach caught the pretty secretary off guard, evidently refreshing her understanding of Liu Zixuan once again.
The pretty secretary gently pressed Ning Jianghe’s shoulder, signaling him to remain calm, then sat by the table too.
She collected the two contracts, slowly saying: "Elder Wang specifically instructed before coming not to engage too harshly with you. After all, you saved Wang Kun and helped Elder Wang. Since these contracts are unsuitable, let’s change the approach!"
"Change to what way?" Liu Zixuan leaned forward, mockingly smiled: "Let me willingly relinquish everything I have?"
"No, just cooperation!" The pretty secretary smiled: "Join forces with Dragon Spirit, first helping Netherworld Hall unify the Martial Realm, then let Netherworld Hall help us achieve number one in the Business World!"
