Liege's heart sank when he heard this, but his head was spinning rapidly, "Starship... Dare I ask who you are?"
The man flipped his wrist, and a laser pistol appeared. He raised his hand and shot Liege in the left leg.
"If you dare to speak out, your whole family will be killed!"
He spoke a little late, and Leg had already screamed loudly, "Ah~"
Although he is a B-level awakened person, he only has water attributes and has no armor. The laser gun can easily break through the defense.
However, when he heard the other party's threatening words, he gritted his teeth and stopped screaming.
In fact, he had already guessed the origin of the other party, but he was suddenly shot and couldn't help shouting.
Now that the other party has issued a clear threat, how dare he not listen?
He gritted his teeth tightly, resisting the pain and asked, "Where is my family?"
"That's not the right answer." The man raised his hand and fired another shot, hitting his right leg. "Where's the starship?"
"Uh..." Leg's body softened and he fell to the ground, rolling in pain, and a dull hum came from his throat.
However, he really didn't dare to continue pretending to be dumbfounded and endured the pain.
"If you are... ss, digital phantoms, your starship has been seized by the government!"
"I won't shoot this time," the man said coldly, "if you dare to say it again, do you think someone will die?"
"Hiss~" Leg took another breath and breathed rapidly, "Wait a minute..."
The pain really hurt, but he also had to think about how to answer the other person.
After gasping for breath for almost thirty or forty seconds, he reluctantly spoke, "The starship has been stored in an extraterrestrial warehouse. Shui Xisheng can testify!"
The person sitting on the sofa remained silent, but the young master was so angry that he said, "I only saw that you stored the battalion-level ship in it!"
"Then..." Liege took another breath, "It is well known that the government inspected the off-world warehouse two months ago."
This time, even Shui Xisheng remained silent and just looked at him coldly.
Leg took a few more breaths before speaking slowly, "The assistant informed me...the goods in the off-ground warehouse have been detained."
"Then the government came to me to ask who the battalion-class ships were prepared for and whether they were secretly communicating with the rebels."
"So now, it's really not convenient for me to do it again. Will it be possible after a while?"
"Tsk," the young master raised his hand and slapped his forehead, sighing, "I originally wanted to save your life, but it seems you are really looking for death!"
Hearing this, Liege looked at him and said, "Shui Xisheng, what did I say wrong?"
"It's okay, I've finished asking my questions," the young master shook his head, "You can do whatever you want..."
But then, Uncle Chen said, "Have you underestimated Digital Phantom's artificial intelligence?"
He thought very clearly that he could not let the digital phantom kill people - at least not now.
Otherwise, if they can't get a battalion-level ship, they will blame the young master, and they will at least force out a battalion-level ship!
Artificial intelligence... Liege thought for a while, but he didn't leave anything on the terminal. "Uncle Chen, what do you mean?"
"If you want to die, don't bring trouble to my young master," Uncle Chen said with a dark face, "Aren't your large purchases frozen?"
On the terminal, they easily found out a series of large purchases recently made by Liege. This alone was enough.
"I was just..." Legge still wanted to argue, but when he saw the cold and stern looks, he finally shut up.
"Maybe I was deceived by my assistant. I'll check it out at dawn and give you the accurate information, okay?"
"Haha," the elegant man chuckled, "It seems that the digital phantom has killed fewer people!"
The young master shook his head and murmured softly, "People are really looking for death...even the sky can't stop them."
Uncle Chen also snorted coldly, "They want to kill the clan, do you think your father can handle it? This is not ordinary stupidity!"
"Okay, I'll deliver the battalion-level ship right away," Liege finally admitted.
The key is that he has known Uncle Chen for more than a day or two. Shui Xisheng may speak carelessly, but Uncle Chen will never talk nonsense.
He did not forget to explain, "When daybreak comes, I will go out for activities. No matter how much money I spend, I will get it from the government."
The elegant man shook his hand and fired another shot, penetrating his left arm, "Am I giving you face?"
"Who do you think you are? You dare to challenge our intelligence?"
I just want to find a way to get off the stairs! Legge gritted his teeth again in pain, are you like this?
But think about it again, with the strength of the other party, there is really no need to give yourself a step up.
So he reluctantly nodded, "Okay, I'll deal with it right away!"
"We will have the results within three days," the elegant man said calmly.
"Let's talk about it next, what price should you pay for this deception of yours?"
Is there still a price to pay? Hearing this, Liege gritted his teeth again - I've been shot three times!
However, the other party's behavior told him: This was not someone he could reason with - the key was that he did not have the strength to reason with the other party.
After being silent for about ten seconds, he endured the pain and replied, "My lord, you are free to speak!"
"I'm rough," the elegant man snorted disdainfully, "Are we people who speak like a lion?"
The young master then added, "I would like to make a suggestion: think about how much the lives of your family are worth."
"You!" Legge glared at him. Although he couldn't see clearly due to excessive blood loss, the hatred in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Hey," the young master rolled his eyes angrily, "You still have the nerve to be angry...how many evil things have I done to get to know someone like you?"
Liege thought for a minute and felt increasingly dizzy. This was obviously due to lack of oxygen due to blood loss.
He said in a deep voice, "I am willing to pay one billion in compensation... Sir, can I stop the bleeding first?"
The young master heard this and sneered, "Don't talk about the rest of your family, just you... is your life worth one billion?"
"I was forced to have no choice," Legge simply broke the jar, "The starship was discovered, and I spent a lot of money to deal with it!"
"Isn't this all caused by your failure to pick up the goods in time?"
"It's none of our business!" The elegant man said simply, "How you keep the goods before picking them up is your problem!"
The young master was so angry that he yelled, "Then you want me to carry thunder?"
Liege simply broke down and said, "Do you know how many people were involved and how much I paid after being investigated?"
"If you don't take responsibility, don't agree to this deal!" The young master was so angry that his face turned blue.
"All transactions have risks. Is it your first day out?"
"But I have also given you benefits," Leg's face turned pale, "Am I the only one who has benefited?"
"I'm rough..." The young master raised his finger and pointed at him, then looked at the elegant man, "Okay, I'm speechless, who are these people!"
"A careless friend," Mu Guang nodded, "One price, 10 billion compensation."
He didn't want to make an offer at first, but what this guy said was really disgusting - there was something wrong with his outlook on things.
Isn’t it normal for others to help introduce some business and earn some intermediary fees?
Even the young master who had robbed my side in the past was much more honest in his conduct than this man!
"Ten...billion?" Leg's eyes widened, even though he could no longer see the other party clearly, "Is it just compensation?"
Is this what you claim to be? Are you not a lion with a big mouth?
Mu Guang didn't bother to reason with him, "It's okay if you don't pay compensation... Remember, you only have three days!"
Then he stood up and said, "Let's go..."
In the blink of an eye, the seven or eight people sitting there disappeared.
"Why don't you wait for me..." The young master glanced outside and glared at Legge fiercely.
"You'd better figure it out, I'm already showing mercy!"
After saying this, he turned around and rushed out, followed closely by Uncle Chen.
Liege endured the pain and turned on his watch with his voice, "Uncle Feng...come and save me!"
However, there was no response from the watch. As a last resort, he climbed to the cabinet on the wall with difficulty and pressed a button.
A drawer slowly stretched out, containing various first aid equipment.
He stopped his bleeding with one hand, swallowed another bottle of stimulants, and then called his other guard.
The guard was on shift tonight and came over ten minutes later, disheveled.
On the way here, he called a private ambulance, and the medical vehicle arrived almost at the same time.
The private doctor began to treat him, and the guard carefully checked inside and outside the yard before quietly reporting to Liege.
"Everyone was knocked unconscious, including Uncle Feng... Do you want to call the city guards?"
Uncle Feng, the supreme leader of the small courtyard next to him, was also knocked unconscious at home without any sound.
Leg's head was a little groggy, but he suddenly became excited when he heard the words, "No, please don't..."
The next evening, the young master found Qu Jianlei and his party again.
"We agreed that we'll pay the money and deliver the goods the day after tomorrow...and you said it's hard to get bearer banknotes, bah!"
Then he handed over another box, "This is one billion... haha, it's the difference I made."
The Liege family was in the warship business and originally had a lot of cash in reserve - it was most convenient to give benefits to others.
But a while ago, there was a government investigation, and he sent a lot of cash out. In order to prevent people from causing trouble, he also exchanged the remaining cash.
As a result, he needed cash temporarily, which was very difficult. The key was that he didn't dare to go out and find someone to exchange it.
The government is indeed still keeping an eye on him. Although the matter has calmed down, if he takes the initiative to cause trouble again, it will be too disrespectful to the government.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find Shui Xisheng.
The current relationship between the two is basically equivalent to breaking off the relationship, but in this matter, he doesn't believe that the other party dares not to help!
The young master's attitude is also very clear. You can help me. You transfer 11 billion to me and I will give you 10 billion in cash!
If the other party clearly wants to trick him, of course he won't be polite - as if he doesn't know how to scheme with others!
The young master was very proud that he had made a fortune, which saved money and relieved his anger. However, he was still a little worried about what happened to Liege.
"Boss, you should knock one of his magic weapons off!"
"You think there are magical artifacts all over the streets?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at him, "We are looking for magical artifacts everywhere, but the prices are going up."
Hearing this, the young master nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you didn't say this this time...do you want similar information?"
