Chapter 1088: A Dragon Has Its Reverse Scale—Touch It and Die
Liu Zixuan never pays attention to threats.
If killing an obscure Ning Jianghe amounted to playing with fire, then Liu Zixuan would have long been burnt to ashes.
Having already encountered the Hall Master of the Netherworld Hall, why would he fear a Dragon Spirit?
If it were the Dragon Spirit at its peak, Liu Zixuan might be slightly wary, but now it’s fallen apart, relying on past fame and the current backing of the Netherworld Hall. Could they truly defy the heavens?
Liu Zixuan is an immensely practical person; if you are my enemy and I can beat you, I won’t wait a day, I’ll knock you down immediately. If I can’t beat you, that’s okay, I’ll get stronger and collect both the principal and interest.
At present, a mere Ning Jianghe is nothing significant in Liu Zixuan’s eyes, so the few accounts of Ning Jianghe’s mockery and his greedy gaze upon Liu Ruyan must be settled immediately.
In other words, Ning Jianghe doesn’t even have the capital to make Liu Zixuan prepare before dealing with him!
As Liu Zixuan’s words fell, the beautiful secretary threw Ning Jianghe a look of pity and self-sufficiency and briskly turned and walked out of the booth.
Ning Jianghe was immediately dumbfounded.
He knows Liu Zixuan a bit; his Realm is sealed, looking at his physique, the two should be evenly matched. If it were a one-on-one, Ning Jianghe would be somewhat confident. But beside him is a mysterious little girl, Qiqi!
She silently killed a Half-Step Emperor Realm expert; wouldn’t killing him be as simple as a glance?
Looking up at the three people before him, Ning Jianghe plunked down and sat directly on the ground.
With a fearful expression, he said, "No... don’t kill me!"
"Weren’t you quite arrogant just now?"
Liu Zixuan squatted down, pulled his tie out of his tailcoat, and with a mocking smile, said, "I recall you saying something like I’m just a driver, not fit for Ruyan, right?"
"No, no, no, I didn’t mean that, Master Zixuan, you and President Liu are a match made in heaven."
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "Didn’t you just say I’m a waste? Also said you’d make me go from being a waste to a bankrupt pauper?"
"Those... those were things they forced me to say, not my real intentions!"
Ning Jianghe grew increasingly fearful, trembling all over, sweat beading down his forehead, not daring to look directly at Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes, "There’s one last important account I’ll settle with you later, first let me ask you a question."
Ning Jianghe raised his head, trembling, "Ask away, if I know, I’ll definitely answer!"
"Good, I hope you answer seriously!" Liu Zixuan loosened his tie, stood and asked condescendingly, "Dragon Spirit is laying out its plans in the Star Sea Business Community, intending to become the number one in the business world. Is it true the person the Netherworld Hall sent was purely to assist Dragon Spirit?"
"Yes." Ning Jianghe nodded.
Bam!
Liu Zixuan kicked his chest directly, causing him to slam into the wall, his whole body feeling disjointed from the pain.
"It seems you’re still dishonest, the Netherworld Hall sending people to the Star Sea Business Community is for massive wealth accumulation to fund Dragon Spirit’s expenses. How could it be purely to help Dragon Spirit!" Liu Zixuan cursed.
Ning Jianghe was completely bewildered, instinctively raising his head to respond, "You already know, why still ask me!"
Pa!
Liu Zixuan raised his hand and slapped again, "The young master does as he pleases, can you control it?"
Ning Jianghe was agonized, earlier protected by a Half-Step Emperor Realm expert and a beautiful secretary, he was defiant in front of Liu Zixuan. But now, within just a few minutes, the situation had reversed completely.
Moreover, he’s simply no match verbally, but now he’s actually taking a beating!
Damn it, thinking it was a good task, had he known, he wouldn’t have come to offend this master!
Now whatever Liu Zixuan says, stands—cause him even a little dissatisfaction, you have to take the hit, no second words!
"Master... Master Zixuan." Ning Jianghe wiped the corner of his mouth, "I was a bit dizzy from your beatings just now. Indeed, the Netherworld Hall did send people to gather a load of wealth, but mostly they genuinely help Dragon Spirit to become the number one person in business, namely the Star Sea’s invisible richest person. Because... because..."
At this moment, Ning Jianghe hesitated.
"Stammering, want another hit?" Liu Zixuan coldly asked.
"Because Dragon Spirit gave the Netherworld Hall a huge fortune, that’s why they only gathered some wealth without any intention of entering the business world."
Liu Zixuan touched his chin and asked, "How much did they give the Netherworld Hall?"
"Three tons of gold!"
Upon hearing these simple four words from Ning Jianghe, Liu Zixuan and Liu Ruyan’s corners of their mouths twitched twice. Three tons of gold? It’s utterly priceless! Dragon Spirit really spares no cost to achieve its aim!
Immediately, Liu Zixuan playfully asked, "Leaving aside Qian Nan, in the north, especially around Ghost Wood City, how many of your Dragon Spirit people and those from Netherworld Hall are there?"
Ning Jianghe scratched his head, "There are four groups, mine counts as one, another was the woman who walked out just now, she brought some experts over, exactly how many, I don’t know, I overheard a two or three sentences from her phone call."
"As for the Netherworld Hall, it’s the same, one group in business, another in the Martial Realm, but I heard the Martial Realm martial artists they planted here were killed a few days ago!"
Liu Zixuan looked deeply at Ning Jianghe, realizing it all was within his expectations.
The Netherworld Hall’s group is still lurking in Ghost Wood City, and Dragon Spirit’s martial artists too, so to keep Lingxiu Village peaceful, Liu Zixuan must deal with all this before he can focus on cultivation without distractions lingering around the doorstep.
"Master Zixuan, now that I’ve told you everything I know, can I leave?" Ning Jianghe asked tremblingly.
Coldness flashed in Liu Zixuan’s eyes: "I said earlier, there’s still a most important account unsettled!"
"Wh... what?" Ning Jianghe stammered.
"Men who stare at my woman for over five seconds, face either death or blindness!"
As he spoke, two cold beams shot out from Liu Zixuan’s fingertips, instantaneously blinding Ning Jianghe!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a pig-slaughtering wail echoed through the booth, in extreme pain, Ning Jianghe passed out.
"Brother, not killing him?" Qiqi looked at Liu Zixuan about to turn around and asked.
"Having him live will be more miserable than death!" Liu Zixuan said lightly.
A dragon has its inverse scales, a person has weaknesses; Liu Ruyan is Liu Zixuan’s biggest weak spot—touch it and you die!
