On this day, Li Xiao was watching the current affairs news in the newspaper in the living room, and from a distance, he heard the sound of several cars humming engines. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sir, the DuPont consortium and the First Citigroup are here." At this time, the servant who served came to report with a little panic.

"DuPont and First Citi? I haven't settled accounts with them yet, but they have come to the door on their own, let them come close! Li Xiao's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly when he heard this, and his gaze was removed from the post in his hand.

After a short while, two people walked into the living room, it was the two major consortiums of DuPont and First Citigroup, DuPont and Stillman.

One of these two people is fat and fat, and the other is tall and thin, and their completely different bodies stand together, and they also form a very sharp contrast with each other.

Although he had already received the report from the servant, Li Xiao did not have the intention of greeting him, and it was not until the group walked into the house that he put down the newspaper he was reading, raised his eyelids, and glanced at the two of them lightly, with a very contemptuous expression.

"Oh, Mr. Li, my God, I saw the magnificent image of you defeating the monster on the movie screen a few days ago, and today I finally got to see you in real life, what could be more fortunate than this?" Stillman grinned and laughed as he enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao ignored it, and pointed directly to the two of them towards the sofa next to them, and then bypassed Stillman, who was frozen there, and fell down on the main seat of the sofa with a leisurely expression.

Stillman's hand was stuck there, lifting and not putting it down, looking very embarrassed.

However, after rolling in the business district for more than ten years, he has also cultivated his deep city, and the gloomy color in his eyes flashed away, and then, Stillman continued to maintain the hypocritical smile on his face, and after glancing at Dupont, he sat down on the sofa seats on either side of the main seat.

"It's very rare for the two families to come to the door together, as the so-called three treasures hall for nothing, if you have anything, you can talk straight to the point." Li Xiao is authentic.

……

……

"Mr. Li is really a cheerful person, I think you should have learned from Scott about what happened before. We can't deny that we did it. But you should also know that the reason why we dare to risk the world's condemnation and kidnap Scott is also because of the forces behind it, it can be said that nine of the top ten consortia are now intent on uniting, and if we want to kick Rothschild out of the United States, we are just playing a role in enforcement, and our move is only aimed at Scott, and we dare not have any disrespect to Mr. Li! Scott's eyes narrowed two crescents, while telling the story, while paying attention to the expression on Li Xiao's face, hoping to judge the other party's thoughts from his demeanor.

But it soon became clear to him that it was simply in vain.

Li Xiao's expression was like the water in the ancient well, indifferent, without a trace of waves.

"And then?" Li Xiao tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa and raised his eyebrows,

Stillman couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, in fact, he said this for a purpose. First, he wanted to tell Li Xiao that he and the others had no malicious intent. Second, he also moved out the top ten consortia behind him, hoping to let Li Xiao know his purpose and avoid the disadvantages, so that he could start the next conversation.

But whether it was the two of them, or the top ten consortia, they seemed to be as light as feathers in front of Li Xiao, insignificant, not to mention the turbulent waves swept in his heart.

"Then, we want to work with Mr. Li to discover the secret of the elixir. To show our sincerity, we are willing to pay more than Scott. ”

And Dupont, who was obviously much rougher, was unaware of it, playing with his brown mustache and talking eloquently, quite a feeling of wealth.

I saw him stroke his palm, and two attendants walked outside the door, carrying two large black suitcases in their hands, which were enough to be seen from their struggling expressions, and they were heavy.

At DuPont's suggestion, they rested the two heavy boxes on the coffee table, and when the zipper was opened, they could see that one of the boxes was full of golden gold, while the other box was neatly stacked with beautiful knives, real gold and silver, and priceless.

The sum up of the wealth here is at least tens of millions of yuan, and even for the two major consortia, in the context of this Great Depression, it can be called a considerable amount of money.

"This is the gold in advance, after the elixir is truly refined, we will pay double the money, and there are nine major consortia for your convenience, I think Mr. Li should have no reason to refuse such cooperation." Dupont smiled, and the fat on his face was trembling slightly.

Ever since Scott revealed the secret of the elixir, Dupont and Stillman have been dreaming about it day and night.

Although after the Triumph returned from an expedition to the sea, Scott ordered the rest of his entourage to sign a confidentiality agreement, so that they could not reveal the location of the island, and they had to keep their mouths shut.

But DuPont and Stillman, and even the nine major consortia behind them, their ability is so huge, as long as they are willing, they can easily control the general ~election~ move of the United States, and even be able to influence the economic trend of the United States and even the world, even if it is to destroy some poor and remote small countries, it is easy and effortless.

After using some methods, they also learned the specific location of the Skull Island, so they confidently transferred two huge ships, and also deployed a lot of professional sailing explorers to go to the other side of the ocean, but the strange thing is that when their team arrived in that sea area, the island suddenly disappeared, even if they wandered in the sea area for ten days and half a month, they could not find any trace.

However, according to the news that they planted the spies on the Triumph, the Skull Island is real, and the strange mystery of it is unknown.

So in desperation, DuPont and Stillman finally couldn't hold back and came to Li Xiao to seek cooperation.

As long as they can live forever, even if it is these tens of millions of dollars, even if it is worth paying half of their assets, after all, for them, as long as the foundation of the consortium is as solid as a rock, it is a matter of minutes if they want to make money, but this life is fleeting, of course they have to grasp it.

……

……

At this time, DuPont and Stillman also put this huge amount of money in front of Li Xiao. Compared with Scott's Rothschilds, their nine major consortia are completely able to give Li Xiao better conditions and support, so they can't think of any reason for Li Xiao to refuse their cooperation plan.

However, to their surprise, Li Xiao's indifferent gaze only glanced at the suitcase carelessly, and after pondering for a while, he shook his head and directly rejected their intention to cooperate.

"Why, sir, I can see what your reasons for refusal." Stillman's heart chuckled, his fists clenched slightly, and he couldn't help but stand up from the couch, his words with a thick look of surprise and incomprehension.

"There is an old saying in our Orient that says it well, it is called "different ways do not conspire with each other." Li Xiao said.

"The Tao is not the same? Now we are not all pursuing the method of immortality, so what's the difference? Stillman's brow furrowed slightly.

"When my ancient Chinese country was prosperous, it was rich and powerful, the country was mighty, the Quartet was served, and all countries came to the court." Li Xiao was not busy explaining, but suddenly the conversation changed.

"That's true." Stillman nodded, undeniably authentic. As a financial oligarchy, Citigroup has banks all over the world, and Stillman, as the family spokesman, naturally has to learn about the civilization and history of many other countries. He also knew the great dominance of the former Huaxia at its peak. Therefore, Stillman also paid great attention to the group's business in China, and opened five or six banks in the magic capital alone.

It's just that he didn't know the intention of Li Xiao's words, and he was a little inexplicable.

Once the vassal state is attacked, it is a violation of the majesty of the suzerain, and the offender must be given a head-on blow and a strong momentum to boost the prestige of the country. Speaking of which, I mean, do you understand?! In the end, Li Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, and his tone became heavier, and he seemed to be full of voice.

Stillman couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this.

What a treacherous and cunning man was Stillman? Speaking of this, Li Xiao's implication is already obvious. Scott took the lead in expressing his loyalty to Li Xiao, that is, expressing his surrender, so he was taken care of by Li Xiao, forming a relationship between the emperor and the courtiers, but DuPont and Stillman were like intruders, not only kidnapped Scott, but also slapped and humiliated him, so that the two formed a hostile relationship, in the final analysis, how can the Zongguo and the invaders cooperate?

It can be said that the moment the two decided to kidnap Scott, each other's bond was already knotted.

At this time, the atmosphere in the living room also dropped suddenly, and suddenly became solemn and tense.

……

……

Just as Stillman's eyes twinkled, and his heart raced, he wondered how to respond. On the other side, the irascible DuPont suddenly jumped to his feet.

I saw that Dupont suddenly stood up, and the golden crutch slammed the pillar to the ground, making a sonorous and piercing sound.

With a look of ridicule on his face, Du Pont shouted: "Damn guy, I also borrowed an old Chinese saying, we came to you today to discuss things because we can afford you, don't just because you have mastered the so-called alchemy and kung fu, you have to inch in, the stakes in this, don't regret it after weighing it clearly!" ”

Dupont's face was jumping wildly, his distorted face showed a tyrannical color, and he relied on the nine major consortia behind his back, as if the fierce flames fueled his temperament, and his arrogance was hopeless.

Stillman's heart tightened, and suddenly he had a feeling that something was wrong, and he tugged at the corner of Dupont's coat, glared at him fiercely, and motioned for him to shut up.

If there was room for negotiation because of differences of opinion, now it has really reached the point of tearing faces, and the atmosphere has become tense.

Stillman looked at Li Xiao again, and at this time, the indifferent expression on his face no longer existed, and the terrifying thing was that it had been completely gloomy, full of a terrifying atmosphere.

"I'm afraid I should have said this to you... By the way, which hand did you use when you slapped Scott, it should be your right hand, right? As he spoke, Li Xiao tore off a thin piece of paper from the sticky notes on the coffee table and pinched it on his fingertips.

"Hmph, ridiculous, I obviously used the left ......" Just when Du Pont was about to refute it, his face full of fat that trembled because of his words froze very abruptly, but his eyes were so wide that even his eyeballs were about to burst out.

A cold sensation crossed his wrist, and a rush of pain rushed over him. He suddenly lowered his head to look, only to see that at the junction between his wrist and palm, blood was pouring out, and the white bones and flesh were broken and burst out. A hand had been broken from the roots, and along with the golden cane, it fell to the ground with a "clang"! The air in the living room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"My hands, what's going on, can anyone tell me why this damn thing is happening!" DuPont let out a hoarse cry of pain, his face was pale, his body was covered in cold sweat, and his body shook from it, and he almost collapsed.

"This, how can it be ......" Stillman was dumbfounded, swallowing deeply, his words dragging with a long trill.

Du Pont didn't see it, but he saw it, just now Li Xiao's wrist bent slightly, and then flicked it gently, but the tissue paper in his hand was like a dart, directly submerged into Du Pont's wrist, cutting off one of his hands!

He felt very incredible, but not far from his side, the bloodstained tissue paper swaying down in the air, this amazing and terrifying scene, but always reminded him that this was not an illusion!

"Let's go, don't send it." Li Xiao clasped his hands in front of his chest and said lightly: "If you don't leave, what you will leave behind is not just one hand." ”

At this time, the reacting entourage was about to take out the weapons on his body and attack Li Xiao, but this was stopped by Stillman. Witnessing the terrifying scene just now, Stillman believed that the piece of paper in Li Xiao's hand was faster than a bullet, and now he was angered by anger, and he was completely sent to death!

Stillman maintained the only trace of reason in fear, while ordering his entourage to help Dupont into the car, he looked at Li Xiao vigilantly, and fled with trembling steps, until he got into the car and drove away from the villa with maximum throttle power, the heart he hung in his throat was put down, and he grew a breath, his forehead and back were already full of cold sweat!
