Chapter 354: It's not that the enemies don't get together
In the Houston family conference room, the elders of several rooms were sitting on chairs with their heads lowered.
In front of them, there was this year's family financial report and income.
However, unlike previous years’ bright green, this year’s financial report is eye-catchingly bright red.
Even though there were some expectations, this is the first time in the past ten years that the Houston family has experienced a fiscal deficit.
"Damn!!"
An elder slammed his fist on the table.
Compared with last year's generous dividends, each company did not make any profit this year, but suffered huge losses.
The first reason for this is the death of Elder Modo.
Without the beauty flower, the Houston family lost half of their income.
It can be said that the cash cow has been cut down.
The situation that made them even worse was yet to come. Due to the war in District 25 and the mysterious death of Grand Elder Augustine, they had to close up smuggling channels to reassure the union.
After the war was won, they naturally wanted to seize back the market.
result……
However, in just a few months, their smuggling channels and markets were all carved up.
The entire market has experienced a washout.
In particular, Quentin of the Thistle family joined forces with some merchants and actually swallowed up the largest smuggling line.
If Elder Modo is missing, the money tree will be cut off.
So what Quentin wants to do now is their job.
But they have no reason for this matter at all. After all, they themselves interrupted the smuggling channels, leaving the market blank.
In addition, the channel Quentin used was not their old channel, but a newly opened channel.
District 25!
This is an official channel. Everyone knows that Ning Chen holds this position and is stuck in everyone's throat.
But Ning Chen only recognized Quentin.
Even if Ning Chen is bypassed, the Blood Sail Group's world is still dominated overseas.
The queen of the Blood Sails, even dares to rob the ship of the dead, the messenger of death, and the ghost captain Sardar.
With such toughness, none of them would dare to offend him.
Without two incomes, plus the losses during this period, the compensation for the bombing of the family building in District 14 was only a financial deficit, which is already a very good result.
If we can't find a breakthrough next year, what will be in front of us this time next year will not be the financial report, but probably everyone's separation fees.
“It’s all the union’s fault!”
An elder, with red eyes, placed all the blame on the union.
The union's move to cut down on wages will literally cost them their lives.
“It’s not all the union’s fault!”
The person who spoke was sitting in the seat of the former great elder. He was not an elder of the family, but his identity was something that all the elders were afraid of.
It was his order to blow up the family building in District 14.
"Picato, what do you want to say, or if our ancestors have something to say, just say it."
"Yes, my ancestor has been in seclusion during this period. How long will it take before he can come out of seclusion?"
The young man sitting on the chair did not answer the elders' questions, but waited for them to finish chattering.
Then he slowly took out a piece of information.
"Let's take a look at this information first."
Everyone looked at each other and opened the information and started reading.
Immediately, the expressions of several elders became strange. "Ding Xiaoyi? Disaster spirit level? Still a rare space system! Are you sure you have this information right???"
Of course they had heard Ding Xiaoyi's name more than once.
At the beginning, the great elder Augustine deduced that this guy was the bait dropped by the union, and that Chen Xinghe did not kill the Wang family but was just playing along.
But when the current information appeared in front of them, the expressions on the faces of these elders couldn't help but become exciting.
"Our initial assumption was actually correct. Chen Xinghe is probably dead long ago, but this person named Ding Xiaoyi is probably the secret that the union planted early in the morning. He probably threw it out as a smoke bomb. Xiaoqi Master Asa is afraid
He was the one who crippled it.
The death of Elder Modo in District 14 is probably also related.
Now that he has retired, he has not only regained his integrity, but the union has also made the decision to issue a [Special Order] to him. In other words, we have all been fooled!"
Picato analyzed it rationally.
These elders were calm at first, but when they heard what happened later, they couldn't calm down anymore.
"[Special Order] This guy is too ambitious!"
The so-called [Special Order] translates into a privileged action order. Those who possess this indicator are equivalent to having the qualifications to openly establish a family.
Even if you do not join the union or accept the orders of the union, you can still enjoy the special treatment of the union.
There is only one condition: if the protected area is affected by war or force majeure, these families must accept the recruitment quota given by the union.
Just like this time in District 25, the Wang family was given a recruitment quota, otherwise there would be so many Wang family descendants entering the battlefield, and I heard that not many came back in the end.
However, the trade union has not issued a "Special Order" for a long time, and now it suddenly relaxed its policy.
Obviously, it was just to commend this guy.
"Damn it, we can't let this kid go. Xiao Qi is still lying on the hospital bed, and the debt is unfinished!" An elder wished he could lead his men to kill him right now.
It's just that the other elders on the side still retain their sense.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but sneered: "Kill him?? He's from the space system. If he can't beat you, he can't run away. You can't even catch him."
The space system is definitely a troublesome psychic creature. If you want to hunt down a master of the space system, you are simply asking for humiliation.
After hearing this, several elders who were angry calmed down.
But at this time, Picato had a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Xiao Qi's revenge has been avenged!"
"Already reported!!"
Everyone looked at Picato with puzzled eyes.
After Picato simply stated his ancestor's plan, several people at the desk couldn't help but frown.
An elder said worriedly: "Kill with a curse! The success rate should not be high. The opponent is also an evil spirit. I don't know the level yet. I want to kill the opponent with a curse..."
He didn't continue the rest of his words, but he already showed his doubts.
"The point of the curse is not the caster, but the sacrifice. Our ancestors no longer need that thing. Since you all want revenge, just use it as a sacrifice!"
Picato said absently.
"That thing!!"
Everyone was shocked and immediately understood what he was pointing at.
Back then, I obtained the ancient corpse of the disaster spirit on a mysterious overseas island. Although there was only a piece of flesh and blood, the aura of the disaster spirit on it was still well preserved.
This is a big treasure. As we all know, to break through into the disaster spirit, you need an opportunity. If you don't have this opportunity, or you don't know enough about the power,
Then you are destined to be unable to take any step.
But the pain is that there is nothing to learn from. After all, there are too few disaster spirits. Even if they do appear, no one can easily get close.
The corpse of a disaster spirit level powerhouse, even if it is just a piece of meat, the aura on it can give these people who are stuck at this step a very important reference.
The degree of preciousness can naturally be imagined.
Such a precious thing was actually taken out as a sacrifice?
However, some people thought quickly and immediately realized the meaning of Picato's words.
"Wait a minute, the ancestor took out this thing, does he mean..."
"That's right, our ancestor is actually about to leave seclusion. However, he suddenly noticed a mysterious sound in the dark recently, so he came out later. Please be quiet during this period and wait for our ancestor to come out of seclusion.
In the end, everything will be decided by our ancestors. At that time, I will take you to the labor union to ask for justice!"
…………
"Ancestor!!"
In Chaimu's new home, Ding Xiaoyi gnawed on the chicken drumstick prepared by Mr. Chen while looking at the burnt-up guy kneeling in front of him.
The person who contacted Li Lansheng to curse him was actually the elder of the Houston family, Jodi.
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, or rather funny.
Unexpectedly, I have a close relationship with the Houston family.
Just when he was about to come to settle accounts with them, they had already taken advantage of him.
Take out a piece of the flesh and blood of a disaster spirit master as a sacrifice.
It's a pity that Li Lansheng's strength is so poor that even if the disaster spirit's flesh and blood is used as a sacrifice, it will not pose any threat to him.
But this matter is also up in the air.
If I don't break through the disaster spirit, I probably won't get any good results.
It really echoes the old saying: "It's not that enemies never get together!"
"Everything is arranged by the ancestor. He said that you have reached the evil spirit level at a young age and will be a disaster in the future. Cursing you to death will also be a reminder to the union!"
Jodi opened his mouth and spoke out all the truth completely uncontrollably.
Including the origin of the ancestors, and even the news that he may have broken through into the disaster spirit, all was informed to Ding Xiaoyi.
Jodi was also shocked and scared.
Especially when he saw the huge, ugly-headed monster standing aside, staring longingly at him.
?(☆﹃☆?):Hehe
When I think of how charred on the outside and tender on the inside, I can't help but shudder in my heart.
Ding Xiaoyi listened carefully, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Datou.
"I leave this guy to you!"
After saying that, he turned around and approached the room, because when he came back, he found that the diary the old man left for him finally had some movement, but he didn't bother to read it. Now that he knew who the mastermind was, this guy who was all burnt...
No need to keep it.
Da Tou, who was waiting aside, couldn't wait any longer and immediately pounced upon him.
"ah!!!"
Seeing this terrifying bloody mouth, Jodi couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a shrill scream.
He could already imagine himself being eaten by this ugly, hideous monster.
But after a while, the expected pain did not come. Instead, the air was filled with the smell of cumin and tomato sauce.
Despite the fear, Jodi finally opened his eyes.
After taking a closer look, he found that the ferocious-looking monster in front of him had no intention of eating him right away.
Instead, he patiently smeared ketchup on himself.
Since he was not wearing any clothes, ketchup and cumin were sprinkled on his wounds, causing Jody to grimace in pain.
I suddenly felt even more desperate. I even had to apply ketchup on myself to eat myself. Are all monsters today so particular?
Just when he was despairing of all hope, a picture that Jodi had never expected appeared.
After Datou carefully applied the tomato sauce, he did not eat him, but walked to the edge of the underworld.
Seeing the huge dim yellow water in front of him, Jody felt a little confused.
"Wait a minute, isn't he going to eat me? Do you have to look at the river view while eating?? So tasteful??"
Just when he was confused, Big Tou slowly waved his tentacles and lifted him high above his head.
A pair of eyes stared at the dim water in front of him.
Suddenly, Datou's eyes lit up and he saw the fluorescent light flashing under the water.
ヽ(^0^)ノ:“BBQ!!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and threw Jody directly with huge force.
"Boom..." Suddenly the water surface rolled up into a rough wave.
The Geordi man was still in the air, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the huge eyeballs under the water. A chill came over him, and he screamed sharply.
However, before the screams could be heard, a huge wave of water suddenly exploded in the water, and a bloody mouth jumped up from the water and swallowed Jodi in one mouthful.
The crunching sound could be heard from far away.
"Boom!"
As the big fish dived back to the underworld, it seemed that he tasted it carefully under the water for a while before hearing his satisfied voice: "Hmm... no salt."
