Ling Xiao gently put down the tea cup, his eyes fell on the woman again, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Now, it's your turn to make a decision. The one just now, well, I can only say that his choice was too hasty, so that he lost the chance to make a comeback. And you, such a beautiful and smart woman, I really don't want you to
I will follow in his footsteps and make a decision that I will regret in the future."
When the woman heard this, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She really wanted to pull out her sword right now and fight Ling Xiao to relieve the hatred in her heart.
But her reason told her that doing so would undoubtedly be a moth flying into a flame and bring about her own destruction. She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes wandering back and forth between Ling Xiao's seemingly harmless but unfathomable smile, reflecting on her inner struggles and contradictions.
Almost tearing her apart.
In the end, she chose to be patient. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down the excitement in her heart. She slowly loosened her grip on the hilt of the sword, and the tip of the sword slowly dropped.
At this moment, she seemed to have made a major decision. Although she was still unwilling to accept it, she was more planning and planning for the future. She knew that now was not the time to act impulsively. Only by waiting for the right time could she give Ling
Xiao's fatal blow.
Because as Ling Xiao mentioned, there are countless people who covet him now like crucian carp crossing the river. However, in this turbulent undercurrent, few people dare to take action against him easily.
Behind this, firstly, it stems from the deep fear of the huge forces behind Ling Xiao. Those forces hidden in the dark are like sleeping giants. Once they wake up, they are enough to smash any provocateur to pieces;
Second, everyone is afraid of becoming a victim in the story of "the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind". After all, in the contest between interests and life, most people still choose the latter.
Bada Trading Company, as a giant, naturally has a strong interest in the legendary treasure on Ling Xiao.
However, they were extremely cautious, knowing that this was by no means a good opportunity to take action. The senior management of the trading bank knew that any rash action might cause unnecessary trouble, and even involve them in a deeper whirlpool.
As for Pang Jun's unauthorized actions before, it was more like being driven by some unknown force. The real driving force behind it is still a mystery, making Bada Trading Company feel a little uneasy and confused.
The cold woman, as the envoy sent by the Bada Commercial Bank Headquarters, was also full of complex emotions. When she first received the task, she thought it was just a simple blocking operation, but she never expected that Ling Xiao's methods would be so
Resolutely, kill as soon as you say it, without leaving any room.
That cold and ruthless look was in stark contrast to the awe and respect she had for the strong, making her feel a deeper fear of this legendary figure.
What made her even more unexpected was that Ling Xiao's behavior at this moment went far beyond the scope of "provocation" and was more like a threat and blackmail.
If Bada Trading Company really chooses to take action against Ling Xiao, then those who will ultimately benefit will undoubtedly be the "outsiders" who are hiding in the dark and watching the fight.
Because, judging from the current signs, the power behind Ling Xiao is by no means an ordinary person, and its complexity is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. This power is like a giant beast hidden in the deep sea. Once angered, its backlash is enough to make anyone
Those who underestimate the enemy pay a heavy price.
Even if we temporarily ignore the powerful existence hidden behind the scenes that has never been shown, Ling Xiao alone is enough to make people feel unpredictable. His acting style is both ruthless and decisive, as if every step has been carefully calculated, leaving no trace behind.
No flaws at all.
For example, how he defeated the Tianhe Realm powerhouse so easily is still a mystery in everyone's mind. In that battle, there were no gorgeous moves, no deafening roars, only Ling Xiao's calm and composed figure, and the Tianhe Realm powerhouse.
The shocking scene of the victim falling to the ground.
No one knows how he did it. That perfect combination of power and wisdom makes people feel both fear and awe.
Therefore, for Bada Trading Company, rashly attacking Ling Xiao would undoubtedly put themselves in an extremely dangerous situation. They must consider carefully and weigh the pros and cons to avoid becoming a pawn in the hands of others and ultimately ending up with both sides losing.
But if she doesn't take action, she can't bear it!
"Miss, please don't fall for this guy's deception!"
At the moment when the tense atmosphere reached its peak, an old man in gray robes with a kind face but sharp eyes slowly walked into the hall. Every step seemed calm and powerful. His arrival was like an invisible wind.
It gently blew away the tension and anxiety in the air.
Seeing the old man, a reassuring smile appeared on the woman's face. She quickly put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and walked towards the old man lightly, with a bit of eagerness and respect in her steps, "Uncle Huang, why are you here suddenly?
Is there something urgent?"
The old man smiled slightly, and that smile contained wisdom and warmth accumulated over the years. He gently patted the back of the woman's hand to express comfort.
"Miss, I was worried that you would be confused by the commotion in front of you, so I came here. According to my in-depth investigation of this guy's information, this guy is a master, best at using bluffing to create illusions to scare his opponents.
His seemingly formidable aura is actually just a hood used to confuse people. You must not be fooled by this appearance and lose your bearings."
Having said this, the old man's eyes became deep and firm, and he continued:
"What happened today, he dared to commit murder in our Bada Commercial Bank branch, killing the shopkeeper, and even used this as an excuse to threaten and extort. If we don't resolutely fight back and spread the word about this behavior, wouldn't it make people laugh.
It will even make those scoundrels think that our Bada Trading Company is weak and can be bullied, and more trouble will inevitably come to our door in the future. Miss, we must safeguard the dignity and interests of the trading company and cannot allow such evil deeds to succeed."
"But Uncle Huang, he just killed a Tianhe realm master with one strike..."
There was a hint of worry in the woman's words. From time to time, she glanced at the young man who was still standing in the hall, looking extremely calm. She was secretly thinking about the consequences that this matter might eventually bring to Bada Trading Company if it was not handled properly.
Catastrophic consequences.
When the old man heard the words, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He sighed softly, seeming to comfort the woman and affirming himself:
"I know that Miss's worries are not without purpose. There is indeed something unusual about this man. Being able to kill a master of the Tianhe Realm with one blow shows that he has mastered an extremely powerful secret method that can increase his combat power to astonishing levels in a short period of time.
situation.
However, although the secret method is powerful, it also has its limitations, and it is impossible for him to maintain this peak state for a long time. What's more, I am not coming here this time to fight alone."
