The video starts with Zhao Qingtian leaving the conference room.
After Zhao Qingtian left the conference room, the Grand Chairman didn't stand up imdiately. Instead, he bowed his head, tapping his fingers on the table rhythmically, producing a uniform yet sowhat inexplicably irritating sound.
"Qing Tian, just like Natasha, you are simply too intelligent, knowing too many things. Big Brother inherently dislikes clever people. Wouldn't it be good if you were like Chong Xiao?" The Grand Chairman said indifferently.
As these words were spoken, the Grand Chairman's eyes narrowed, and a sharp murderous intent was undisguised.
The video ended there, and afterward, Tang Rao had Li Shengxuan bring him to find Zhao Qingtian.
But this was already enough.
Although the Grand Chairman hadn't said he wanted to kill Zhao Qingtian, the implication in those words was clear, and that last look was extrely ferocious.
Seeing the Grand Chairman's gaze, Zhao Qingtian couldn't help but shudder.
He was very clear about Big Brother's look; Big Brother indeed harbored murderous thoughts—he really wanted to kill himself!
"Zhao Diman, you're fucking insane!! Damn!" Zhao Qingtian shouted, this was his own Big Brother, his blood Big Brother!
They had grown up together, cultivated together, faced enemies together, and endured hardships together. Now reaching the heights of power, now achieving Half-step Great Perfection, Zhao Diman actually wanted to kill him.
"So, I'm not making this up. Your Big Brother is not soone to be trifled with." Tang Rao shrugged his shoulders and said, honestly, Zhao Diman was truly ruthless, even wanting to kill his own brother, that's really harsh.
And the reason is so ridiculous simply because Zhao Qingtian is intelligent.
"Did you guys, do sothing a bit unethical?" Tang Rao looked at Zhao Qingtian and asked, he always felt that Zhao Diman harboring a murderous intent just because Zhao Qingtian is smart was a bit extre.
Zhao Qingtian was taken aback for a mont, then seed to think of sothing, and his face suddenly changed.
"Spill it." Tang Rao said.
"Big Brother… no, Zhao Diman, he… could break through to Great Perfection at any mont," said Zhao Qingtian.
Hearing Zhao Qingtian's words, Tang Rao was also taken aback, Zhao Diman was that formidable?
"The fact that he could break through to Great Perfection is known only to ," Zhao Qingtian took a deep breath, "As for why he hasn't broken through yet, it's to sche for the position of the President. Zhao Diman has always wanted to truly control Giant rchant Star; he plans to kill the President."
"No wonder, that makes sense now." Tang Rao nodded.
"By the way, who is the Giant rchant Star Chairman?" Tang Rao asked.
"I'm not really sure about that, but you could ask Natasha, she was sent by the President. Previously, we only had three presidents. The President sending Natasha here, perhaps, was to keep an eye on us," Zhao Qingtian said.
Tang Rao nodded, with this, things made sense.
Zhao Diman wanted to kill Natasha, and the biggest reason might be because Natasha was sent by the President.
Using Cui Baiyi's attack as an opportunity to finish off Natasha would be ideal.
"I have a sudden thought," Tang Rao narrowed his eyes, his expression sowhat strange.
"Don't you think, Cui Baiyi's decision to directly target Giant rchant Star is a bit too abrupt?" Tang Rao looked at Zhao Qingtian.
Zhao Qingtian nodded, "Indeed, there was absolutely no warning before. Even if Cui Baiyi wanted to completely control the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, he shouldn't have directly targeted Giant rchant Star. After all, in terms of overall strength, Giant rchant Star is not weaker than Soul Capturing Pavilion. Even if Cui Baiyi created so many Death Energy Puppets, trying to defeat Giant rchant Star would just be... wait a minute, you an!"
Zhao Qingtian's eyes widened, looking at Tang Rao in horror.
"Yes, this matter, perhaps, was agreed upon between Zhao Diman and Cui Baiyi," Tang Rao said with a smile, "Zhao Diman wants to control Giant rchant Star, and Cui Baiyi, creating so many Death Energy Puppets, certainly also has ambition. Zhao Diman wishes to kill the President, and Cui Baiyi desires to rise above the Soul Capturing Pavilion Master. The two of them, one could say, have a common goal."
Zhao Qingtian's mind was a bit chaotic. Although Tang Rao's idea was just conjecture, the possibility was extrely high.
He had always thought he understood Zhao Diman. It turns out, there were too many things about Zhao Diman he didn't know.
He had always thought Zhao Diman was wholeheartedly open with him. In the end, he was nothing but a chess piece, a dog in Zhao Diman's hands—an intimate brother, yet still a dog.
"Damn!" Zhao Qingtian cursed, grinding his teeth.
"However, he probably won't make a move on you just yet," Tang Rao said. "You go back first, keep doing what you need to do, don't let Zhao Diman suspect you."
"Got it, what about Natasha..." Zhao Qingtian nodded.
"Continue with your assassination, and notify when you make your move," Tang Rao instructed.
"Understood."
"Xiao Xuanxuan, escort him out," Tang Rao turned to Li Shengxuan.
"Alright." Li Shengxuan nodded, casually waved her hand, and Zhao Qingtian instantly vanished into the folded four-dinsional space, returning to where he was originally.
"Benefactor Xiao Hei, why do you still let him go after Sister Natasha? And, what exactly should I call you, Xiao Hei or Tang Rao?" After Zhao Qingtian left, Li Shengxuan imdiately questioned.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, do you know what strategy and tactics are?" Tang Rao asked.
"I don't understand," Li Shengxuan shook her head.
"Do you trust then?" Tang Rao continued to inquire.
"Mhm!" Li Shengxuan nodded earnestly.
"Just trust . Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Natasha. And you, Xiao Xuanxuan, Benefactor Xiao Hei will definitely treat you well. If you ever rember the past and seek revenge, I'll definitely support and help you, and we'll take down all the bad guys together," Tang Rao said, slinging an arm around Li Shengxuan's shoulder and tilting his head as he spoke.
Li Shengxuan looked at Tang Rao, who was smiling brilliantly up close, bit her lip, and nodded firmly.
...
Giant rchant Star's preparations were quick indeed. In less than half a day, a comprehensive deploynt was already in place.
A powerful Defensive Array activated, and a fierce surge of Spiritual Energy enveloped the entire Giant rchant Star. Naturally, there were also about five million cultivators guarding the outside.
If strength was disregarded, the number of cultivators Giant rchant Star could attract was surely several tis that of the Soul Capturing Pavilion.
There was no helping it; their business reached every corner of the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains. The cultivators they gathered were in large numbers.
However, these matters had nothing to do with Tang Rao. At the mont, Tang Rao was in Natasha's yard with Li Shengxuan, roasting a bird.
Yes, it was that strange bird.
It was so big; it was impossible to finish in one day, and there was still a lot left.
In the spirit of not wasting, Tang Rao felt they still had to roast and eat it.
"Xiao Hei! Sheng Xuan! Why are you still here?" Just as the two were enjoying themselves, Natasha rushed in, "Didn't I tell you two to leave? Xiao Hei, take Sheng Xuan with you and leave with now. I'll take you away from here."
Natasha was sowhat helpless; now that Giant rchant Star had activated its Protective Array, there was no way for Xiao Hei and Sheng Xuan to get out. She had to personally take them both away.
Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan both looked at Natasha without any movent.
"What are you waiting for? Pack up what needs to be packed, let's go!" Natasha exclaid.
