Chapter 85
It wasn't until the fire element on Xiao Ye's body began to condense that Chris noticed the strange fluctuation of the magic elements around him.
"Bastard!" Xiao Ye roared angrily, raising his fist of fire and wanting Xiao Jin to rush over, Xiao Jin originally turned his back to everyone, but his reaction was very fast. As soon as he turned around, two fists covered with the rich fire element met in the air, and a fiery red air vibrating streak quickly spread.
Both of them couldn't help but take a few steps back, but Xiao Ye didn't stop at all, and he raised his fists to continue to attack.
"Wait!" Xiao Jin said suddenly.
"Aren't you just here for me?"
"I'm not here to fight with you today, you calm down!" Xiao Jin tried to stop Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye was so angry at this time that he couldn't listen to it at all, and his fist once again ignited a scorching flame.
And this fist went straight to Xiao Jin's face, Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Ye coldly, but he didn't make a move to resist.
Chris didn't want to get involved in the battle between the two brothers, but she seemed to see some clues, and immediately pulled out her giant sword and lifted Xiao Jin's crotch to deliver the blow.
"Captain, what are you doing here?" Xiao Ye waited for his eyes to widen, looking at Chris in disbelief.
"Xiao Ye, he really didn't come to fight with you, if he wanted to trouble us, he would never dare to come alone!" Chris's analysis made Xiao Ye calm down a little.
Xiao Jin watched the flame in Xiao Ye's hand gradually extinguish, but Xiao Ye's expression was still very angry.
Xiao Jin sighed, then took out a piece of parchment from the space ring, and then handed it to Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye was not polite, and snatched it with a wave of his hand.
When he opened it, the contents were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing his anger that he had nowhere to vent.
"What do you mean by this?" Xiao Ye was holding in his hand the distribution map of the Xiao family's entire black market, which even included the distribution of stores in various countries except for human land, and the information was very detailed.
"Do you see it clearly?" Xiao Jin raised his head and looked at the sky covered with thick clouds tonight.
"I see it clearly, but I don't understand this..."Xiao Ye knew what Xiao Jin wanted him to see, in addition to the distribution of stores in this parchment, the most important point was that Xiao Jin wanted Xiao Ye to see the owners of these stores!
Xiao Ye was surprised to find that one-third of the stores were owned by him Xiao Ye himself. And the other two-thirds basically belong to Xiao Ye's uncle!
"How is this possible?" Xiao Ye muttered as he looked at the parchment in his hand.
"I didn't want you to get involved, but I finally kicked you out, and you ran back by yourself!" Xiao Jin said angrily.
"What's going on, brother, tell me quickly, this Uncle Xiao told me that you and your mother are fighting for the property of the Xiao family, so you designed to frame me. β
"If it were me, I would say the same, or could there be a better person to hide himself than me?"
"I don't believe it, Uncle Xiao has loved me since I was a child, how could things be like this!"
"Hmph, doubly loved, you're still too naΓ―ve, my brother!"
"As early as many years ago, Xiao Shubai, our good uncle, had already started the planning of this conspiracy. At first, he was just fighting for more benefits for himself, and his father knew about it, but his father relented and turned a blind eye to it. But in the years since, he has become more and more greedy and uncontrollable, which is why it has evolved into today's situation. β
"Then why didn't you tell me!"
"Xiao Ye, do you know why your father has been so fond of you since you were a child, but he has always been lukewarm to me?" At this time, Xiao Jin didn't know why the conversation turned to Old Man Xiao Shen.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Ye, a trace of desolation appeared under his cold face.
"Father favors me, and I know I'm ashamed of you, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to say this now?"
"Xiao Ye, after you listen to Xiao Jin, I'm afraid we will be able to know this matter clearly tonight!" Chris could see that Xiao Jin was here for a showdown tonight, but Xiao Ye was more worried about his father's safety and Xiao Baishu's betrayal.
Chris then led the group into the rallying point and all the way to the lobby. After sitting down separately, Xiao Ye said, "Okay, then you can say it, in fact, I also want to know what I have missed all these years!"
"Xiao Ye, I can only live for another three years at most!" As soon as Xiao Jin exited, it bombarded everyone's minds like a depth charge, Xiao Ye only felt that his mind was blank, and he couldn't speak well for a while.
"Xiao, Xiao Jin, what are you talking about?"
"I said, I have a maximum of three years to live, and the magic patterns in my body are broken. Although I have been equal in strength with yours over the years, as our rank and strength continue to improve, my magic pattern will not be able to continue to be maintained, and at that time, the magic pattern will collapse inch by inch in my body, and I will no more...!"
"What the hell are you talking about!" Xiao Ye suddenly began to growl, he grabbed Xiao Jin's collar and cursed incessantly, and from time to time there was liquid spilling down his cheeks in his eyes.
Although Chris was also very uncomfortable when she heard this, she still just sat and didn't say anything, because this was Xiao Ye's family matter.
Ao Gu turned his head and walked out of the lobby and never came back, Mu Xin's eyes were red, and he wanted to comfort Xiao Ye but didn't know where to start.
Just let Xiao Ye vent for a long time, and then he gradually recovered, from a state of collapse to a state of not saying a word.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later, the most tricky thing now is how to deal with my father's poison and Xiao Baishu's problem!"
Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Jin but didn't speak.
"Presumably you already know your father's poison very well, it must be very difficult to take him to the Extremely Cold Land, and I have already gathered forty high-level water elemental masters to create an Extremely Cold Land for us. But now there are two problems that I have never been able to solve, first, how to let my father withstand this extremely cold temperature, and second, I and the doctor went to help my father detoxify, so how to resist Xiao Baishu!"
As soon as Chris heard this, this matter seemed to have taken a turn for the better, and Xiao Jin had already thought of a way for her to solve the things she couldn't solve.
"I can solve the physical problems of Old Man Xiao Shen, and what is Xiao Baishu's strength in Luwu?" The reason why Chris asked this is because he is a little jealous of this old fox, after all, this is the chassis of the Xiao family, if there is a disparity in strength, then this plan to save Old Man Xiao Shen may not be so easy.
"According to my investigation, Xiao Baishu's current strength has not yet been able to fully enter Luwu, and there are probably hundreds of elemental envoys and warrior archers stationed in the city, all ranging from mid-level to high-level. If we get my father out of the city, then all of these 100 people will be dispatched!"
"And how many men do you have?"
"With my own mercenary team, there are only seventy or eighty people. The rest of his men are now in other cities, and they won't be able to come back anytime soon. β
"Don't worry too much, it's not much different in terms of numbers. This can't be delayed for too long, give me three days to prepare things. β
"There is a gap of forty or fifty people, are you sure?" Xiao Jin looked at Chris in disbelief.
"Then you can rest assured, our captain is really not a vase!" At this time, Mo walked in from the courtyard and took the conversation.
"Mo, are you okay with your body?" Mu Xin was very happy when she saw that Mo's physical condition seemed to be very good.
"Don't worry, I'm not seriously injured. Then Mo turned his head to Xiao Jin: "I am the vice captain of this mercenary team, I have heard your conversation just now, you don't have to worry, Xiao Ye's matter is our business, you can only transport Old Man Xiao Shen out in three days, and prepare forty water element envoys, and leave the rest to us!"
Mo finished talking to Chris for a moment and gave him an affirmative look.
"Okay, then I believe you once, I hope you can help the Xiao family get out of this predicament! I, Xiao Jin, have thanked you all here!"
"You're welcome, then we'll make up our minds, just let us know when we've decided on the route. After Chris finished speaking, he sent Xiao Jin away, while Mo waited for Chris in the lobby.
After a while, the two sat opposite each other in the lobby, and Mu Xin went back to rest.
"Isn't there anything you want to say to me?" Mo opened his mouth first, staring at Chris tightly under his black and white bangs.
Chris was silent for a moment, then said, "I've received Kona's reply, and what you said is exactly what she said. β
"And then?"
"And then, and then I thought it might be that I was too careful, sorry. Chris didn't seem to be very good at apologizing, and his tone was so stiff that Mo couldn't listen to it.
But Mo Ben is not a narrow-minded person, and besides, he has hidden this matter himself, so he accepts Chris's apology.
"Okay, I did it too, what else is there to do Vice Captain?!" Chris said angrily.
"I don't think your apology seems to be sincere, otherwise you don't need to do it all over again, the requiem you played on the roof of the snow town last time was very good, I want to listen to it again, okay?" Mo looked at Chris seriously, and the latter agreed without refusing.
Chris took out the star leaf and sat in the lobby and began to play, Mo felt very relieved and satisfied every time he heard this song, all kinds of things kept happening in the past few days, and Mo also felt a little stressed and uneasy.
So he didn't just tease Chris, but he really needed to relax. Just looking at Chris quietly, I remembered the scene when I first met Chris many years ago, as if even time stood still.
At the end of the song, Chris put away the star leaves.
Mo said thank you, and then continued: "So now, let's get down to business!"
