Chapter 1326 - 779: Purple (2)
Moreover, his life was in the other party’s hands. Even if they spat sticky phlegm on his face, he had to endure it.
Old Demon cautiously said, "Mr. Gao, let’s talk this over properly."
Gao Xuan applied some pressure with his hand, "That’s not what you were saying just now."
"I was blind, didn’t recognize Mr. Gao’s power, I was wrong..."
Old Demon, a straightforward man mixing in the Jianghu, valued being adaptable. Now, with Gao Xuan’s gun pointed at his neck, he immediately caved in.
Li Zhennan, Li Feihong, and the others watching in the background were all dumbfounded.
The electric light had been too intense earlier, and now all they could see was white before their eyes, unable to see anything.
They could only hear the dialogue between Gao Xuan and Old Demon.
Li Zhennan, Li Feihong, and the others of the Iron Bear Gang were very surprised; Old Demon, who was usually violent and tough, was acting so obediently!
However, everyone understood Old Demon well. Facing Gao Xuan’s formidable extraordinary power, it was quite normal to give in and act subservient.
Li Zhennan was secretly shocked; Gao Xuan’s release of electric power was truly terrifying.
However, now that others knew about the essence of Gao Xuan’s extraordinary power, they could plan countermeasures specifically.
To counter such thunderbolt power, all that was needed was a group of people wearing insulated rubber suits. Despite Gao Xuan’s superior fighting skills, if electric power couldn’t be used, it ultimately couldn’t withstand the multitude.
Li Zhennan felt a bit regretful; although Gao Xuan’s power was strong, it was easy to counter. Especially when facing large organizations, it’s more easily countered.
For Gao Xuan, going solo was the worst choice. He should join a big company or gang, and actively engage others, to fully unleash his power.
So, Gao Xuan was currently in control of the situation. Considering the long term, Gao Xuan shouldn’t act too excessively.
Li Zhennan believed that Gao Xuan was a smart person and shouldn’t act recklessly.
Li Feihong, on the other hand, didn’t think as much as her father; she just thought Gao Xuan was incredible, too cool.
Casually releasing powerful thunderbolt power was simply like a deity.
The extraordinary power was actually this strong; she was really envious. She wondered whether this power could be transferred to others...
The spectators had time to think about other things, but Old Demon, with a gun against his chin, didn’t have the leisure for it.
Even with his only remaining eye, Old Demon couldn’t see through Gao Xuan’s thoughts, and could only present a humble and weak posture.
Gao Xuan wasn’t surprised by Old Demon’s behavior; mixing in the Jianghu, without understanding the importance of adaptability, one would either die violently or end up as useless as a pile of dog feces, never seeing the light of day.
He had experienced a lot and wasn’t interested in teasing insignificant figures like ants.
He asked Old Demon, "What exactly are you looking for me for?"
Old Demon didn’t dare be vague right now, and hastily replied, "It’s not us looking for you; it’s Celestial Net Company wanting to find you. We’re just following the company’s orders."
"Celestial Net Company?"
Gao Xuan was a bit puzzled, "Why are they looking for me?"
Old Demon smiled bitterly, "I’m just a minor character in the gang, how could I know those things."
Fearing Gao Xuan’s misunderstanding, he quickly explained, "Celestial Net Company controls the entire city’s financial sources and is the boss of all the gangs. What the company’s big shots think or do, we genuinely don’t know..."
This explanation made sense. Indeed, these lower-tier gang members and the company’s big shots were worlds apart.
Gao Xuan asked again, "Did Celestial Net Company specifically name me, or are there any specific conditions?"
If they specifically sought him, it might be to retaliate for Su Fei. If not, the matter was worth investigating.
"They’re seeking someone with deep blue eyes and claimed that this person has special abilities..."
Old Demon didn’t dare to hide anything, and told everything he knew completely.
This matter wasn’t a secret; Purple Rose and the other major gangs all received the notification. He was just the fastest to act, targeting Gao Xuan first.
The more Old Demon thought about it, the more he regretted his eagerness to take the lead.
Indeed, the person sought by a big company isn’t simple. Foolishly trying to get credit, he ended up hitting a brick wall.
"So that’s how it is."
Gao Xuan pondered; based on these conditions, he indeed fit the criteria.
But were they truly looking for him? That was hard to say.
Even if they were looking for him, for what purpose?
Could it be that the demons enveloping the star system discovered his intrusion, and thus sent someone to kill him?
Gao Xuan quickly dismissed this assumption; mere demons, though spiritually powerful, were still far below his level.
Even if it was a Celestial Immortal here, it might not be able to detect even a hint of his divine soul projection.
Moreover, the planet had such a vast human populous. To a massive demon, all humans were as tiny as dust.
Humans only mattered if they gathered in large numbers to project their spiritual power outward.
Such massive demons couldn’t possibly distinguish tiny anomalies in individual members of the Human Race. It was like an elephant unable to differentiate each ant in an ant colony.
Gao Xuan absolutely didn’t believe a demon could be stronger than him. If that were the case, his actions would lose their significance.
Besides, what other reasons could explain Celestial Net Company’s behavior?
Gao Xuan couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation, but it didn’t matter; he could go ask them directly.
At present, he was far from having absolute power, but he held the advantage, and no one could challenge him.
Gao Xuan asked Old Demon, "Is that all?"
Old Demon sensed trouble and pleaded repeatedly, "Mr. Gao, there’s definitely a misunderstanding between us. I’m willing to apologize for the mistakes I made and offer compensation."
