Chapter 157 Where did you hide him...?
In the Baili family's detached villa, four men wearing cloaks of different colors looked indifferently at Li Jie, who was sitting on the sofa.
It has been about an hour since Baili Pangpang and the others left the villa.
Regardless of the outcome, that naive little fat boy should have already seen the reality.
With that thought in mind, Li Jie gently placed the coffee cup in his hand on the table.
Ignoring the ancient long box on the table, he looked at the four forbidden objects of earth, fire, wind and water standing in front of him and spoke.
"I need to get to the banquet hall now. Can any of you show me the way?"
Upon hearing this, the four forbidden artifact wielders couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
We can't stop you, but if you ask us to take you there, wouldn't that mean we've already betrayed you?
If he fails to resolve the chaos in the Baili family, it will ultimately be the servants who suffer.
After a moment, the leading fire envoy spoke hesitantly.
"Commissioner Li, the tallest building in Guangzhou and Shenzhen is the headquarters of Baili Group. The banquet hall is on the top floor, and the chairman's office is on the 100th floor. You may leave now..."
Li Jie probably understood their concerns and didn't force them to go with him. He just said it casually as they walked.
"You either go to the banquet hall to protect that fat kid, or you stay here obediently..."
"If you have other ideas... then I'll say it again."
“You will suffer the consequences.”
After speaking, Li Jie softly called out, and an ancient, simple longsword, entirely ice-blue in color, flew out from his dantian.
Zheng! !
A loud sword cry rang out.
Like a threat or a warning, the Immortal-Slaying Sword circled around the villa lobby before flying back behind Li Jie.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the room, the four forbidden artifact wielders were all drenched in cold sweat.
Is this sword one of the top ten most powerful forbidden items in the series?
The aura she exuded alone sent chills down their spines.
Seeing this, they gave up the idea of going to the banquet hall. Regardless of whether they would fight or not, with their meager strength, they would only be scapegoats if they went.
As Li Jie reached the door, he glanced back at the four forbidden artifact wielders who looked shocked, and chuckled softly.
Then, a flash of sword light carried his figure away from the room.
...........
"He is not Baili Tuming."
Lin Qiye, along with Caoyuan and the others, slowly walked in from the window.
The low pressure emanating from them caused the crowded people to unconsciously make way for them.
"Where did you...hide him...?" Lin Qiye's face was ashen as he looked at the old man and the young man on the platform and spoke slowly and deliberately.
Five figures, four men and one woman, stood in front of the stage under the dim lights.
A faint, intense aura of killing intent emanated from them.
Seeing them approach, Baili Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and then a pale blue light enveloped them.
Gradually, apart from Baili Xin and Lin Qiye, all the guests present, including Cao Yuan, froze in place like statues.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye frowned slightly, stared into Baili Xin's eyes, and asked.
"what have you done?"
"Please don't worry, Captain Lin, this is just a dimensional rift I created using [Time Rift]..."
Baili Xin's calm voice came from the podium. Then, he walked down the podium with steady steps and came to Lin Qiye's side.
"In this dimensional rift, only you and I are free to move around. I am only here to complete the deal between the two of us."
transaction?
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something bad.
Could it be that the Baili family gave him an extremely powerful forbidden item just for this moment?
"You have taken [Zhan Bai], in exchange you need to do something that does not violate principles and is reasonable."
"Now...it's time for you to fulfill your promise..."
At this point, a strange smile crept onto Baili Xin's lips.
"By the way, Commissioner Li has already tacitly approved of this matter. You should think it over carefully..."
What? ? ! !
Brother Li actually tacitly allowed the Baili family to pull off such a sleight of hand.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"How is that possible? Why would Brother Li agree to do these things with you guys?!"
Upon hearing this, Baili Xin chuckled and shook his head.
"Like you, Commissioner Li is also a key target for our Baili family to win over. I used conditions that he couldn't refuse to get this opportunity."
"Take a look at that [White-Cut Sword], is it easy to use?"
"Can you tell me what you promised Brother Li?"
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's question, Baili Xin assumed that he also wanted the same treatment as Li Jie. Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
As expected, these self-proclaimed guardians of the Great Xia Dynasty are all greedy people. What a pity, that chubby kid considered you his best brothers...
But it doesn't matter... As long as I successfully enter the upper echelons, I will eventually get back what I've lost!
By then, there will be special operations specialists and the fifth special team.
They're not even my Baili family's dogs!!
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Baili Xin smiled obsequiously and reiterated the conditions he had promised Li Jie, also explicitly informing Lin Qiye.
Li Jie nodded slightly after hearing the condition, without refusing.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye seemed to suddenly realize something.
Could it be that... Brother Li didn't quite agree to this unreasonable request?
So what is his purpose?
Wu, a bold idea formed in Lin Qiye's mind and gradually grew stronger.
Brother Li wanted to... make Fatty see the true face of his beastly father...
He wanted to completely eliminate any worries Fatty might have...
That's why he secretly facilitated this matter...
That must be it!
Bringing his thoughts back, Lin Qiye's gaze instantly hardened.
How could Brother Li be a greedy person! Even if he were, if Fatty really became the person in charge of Baili Group, would he treat us badly?
of course not!
Baili Xin looked at Lin Qiye, whose expression was changing wildly, and also showed impatience.
"The duration of the dimensional rift is almost up. Will you choose to accept the Baili family's friendship... or be annihilated here? The decision is entirely yours..."
"Captain Lin, I hope you can make the right choice..."
After saying that, he turned and walked back to the podium.
At the same time, the pale blue barrier disappeared.
Baili Xin looked at Lin Qiye in the audience with a playful gaze, as if waiting for his answer.
