Chapter 13165 Do you want me to get something for nothing?
A complex emotion surged in her heart, including fear of young people and a trace of indescribable regret.
In the room, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing. The man in black stood beside the beautiful woman, his eyes burning like a torch, scanning the surroundings, not missing every inch of space. His expression revealed a high degree of alertness and vigilance.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke in a low and sincere voice: "Your Excellency, today's incident was indeed caused by our oversight at Bada Trading Company, which caused unnecessary trouble to you. On behalf of our firm, I would like to sincerely apologize to you, and also
I hope you can forgive me."
However, the surroundings were still quiet and there was no response at all. Upon seeing this, the man in black frowned and said in a deep voice again: "I know that your Excellency has great magical powers, and you may not bother to argue with mortals like us, but I still ask that you show up and see me.
, let me wait until I have the opportunity to apologize in person."
But the response to him was still deathly silence. The man in black sighed secretly. He understood that the other party might have left the room, or even far away from the business. He looked up and looked out the window, where the sun was shining mottled through the clouds.
The light and shadow could not illuminate the haze in his heart.
As if he suddenly thought of something, the man in black's eyes fell on the beautiful woman's hand. There, the beautiful woman's storage ring should have been placed there, but it was empty at the moment. His heart froze, and he immediately realized that the storage ring was
Disappearance may be the only clue left behind when the other party leaves.
The man in black pursed his lips tightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, including anger at the loss and fear of the unknown. He understood that today's matter would never end here.
The soul-breaking grass, that precious medicinal material, disappeared without a trace, and the spiritual stones hidden in the beautiful woman were also taken away, leaving only a void and loss.
Seeing this, the man in black was furious. His right hand suddenly clenched into a fist. A violent force surged out of his body, instantly crushing the table in front of him into powder. Wood chips flew into the air. There was an extremely oppressive feeling in the air.
atmosphere.
Before this sudden change subsided, waves of exclamations came from outside, mixed with panic and confusion, coming like a tide and impacting the eardrums of the man in black. His face suddenly changed, and a flash of eagerness and urgency flashed in his eyes.
Uneasy, his body swayed and turned into a black shadow, bursting out of the air and heading straight outside the business.
However, when he rushed out of the door of the trading company, the scene in front of him made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He saw that the entire Bada Trading Company, a once prosperous commercial giant, collapsed at this moment, with dust flying, bricks and stones scattered, and it was a mess.
.
Most of the various treasures, gold and silver jewelry, rare medicinal materials, and martial arts secrets in the trading house were looted, leaving only a void and desolation.
"Bastard!" The man in black was furious and roared, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.
He knew that this was not only a loss of property to the firm, but also a heavy blow to the reputation and status of Bada Trading Firm. He looked around, trying to find any clues left by the mysterious thief, but in addition to the ruins and chaos,
Nothing else.
At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and a figure quietly emerged. The young man who traded with him in the business and then left suddenly—Ling Xiao! A wave of emotion surged in the heart of the man in black.
He had a strong premonition that the man behind all this was the seemingly ordinary but mysterious young man.
"Could it be Ling Xiao!" The man in black murmured to himself, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes. There was both fear of Ling Xiao's strength and anger at his audacity. He knew very well that if it was really Ling Xiao who did it,
Then this person is not only powerful, but also thoughtful and ruthless. He is by no means an easy person.
At this moment, the man in black was filled with an unprecedented sense of crisis and urgency. He understood that he must find out the truth as soon as possible, retrieve the lost treasure, and restore the reputation of Bada Trading Company.
At the same time, he also secretly swore that if Ling Xiao was really responsible, he would bring him to justice at all costs and serve as a warning to others.
…
Outside Zhenmo Mansion City, in a remote forest illuminated by dappled sunlight, Ling Xiao sat leisurely on a stone that had been rounded by time. His eyes fell gently on the storage ring with a faint luster in his hand.
The corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, outlining a light yet slightly cunning smile.
He sighed secretly in his heart. Originally, he just wanted to have a fair transaction in exchange for the resources he needed. He never thought that the people of Bada Trading Company would be greedy. In the end, he insisted on letting him get something for nothing. This was really speechless.
Recalling the transaction process with the beautiful woman, Ling Xiao's eyes became profound. From the first time he saw the beautiful woman, he was keenly aware of the cunning and calculation flashing in her eyes.
Years of experience taught him how to watch people's emotions, so he quietly chose to leave, but he already had concerns in his heart.
Using his unique five-element dragon soul power, he quietly escaped into the darkness, like a dragon wandering in the shadows, hiding his body while retaining the opportunity to observe the development of the situation.
When Ling Xiao returned to the room again, everything was as he expected. The beautiful woman and the man in black were plotting how to swallow him, the "fat sheep". At that moment, there was no anger in his heart, only calmness.
and determination.
He knows very well that in this world where the strong are respected, the weak can only become the meat on other people's chopping boards. Only strength is the only way to protect oneself and defend dignity.
Therefore, facing the other party's unkindness, he chose to retaliate with injustice. This was not due to his nature, but the cruel survival laws of the martial arts world forced him to do so.
He clearly knew that if he was not strong enough today, what awaited him would be a tragic end with no bones left. This knowledge made him more decisive and ruthless when facing the enemy.
Looking at the storage ring in his hand, a complicated light flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. This was not only satisfaction with the trophies, but also a deep understanding of the cruel reality of the martial arts world.
After a while, the sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds and dappled on his shoulders. He stood up slowly, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and then walked away lightly. Every step seemed to be integrated with the surrounding mountain wind.
Leave no trace.
In this vast, mist-shrouded mountain range, Ling Xiao shuttled through the lush forest paths and finally found an extremely hidden cave.
This cave is hidden in the deepest part of the mountain. The cave entrance is covered by dense vines and strange flowers. Even experienced warriors would find it difficult to detect its existence unless they deliberately search for it.
Ling Xiao quietly stepped into the cave, using his deep internal strength and martial arts skills to cleverly hide his aura, making it difficult for outsiders to detect his presence even if they were close at hand.
