A muffled thud.

The boxing champion threw his backpack full of gym equipment on the ground and cracked his knuckles with both hands.

"Silence... Looks like I was right? I knew it. With such a high reward, there would be some weaklings trying to take advantage and grab a share. I was wondering why none of them seemed like it... So it was you guys?"

The boxing champion raised his hand, stretched his relaxed knuckles to the back of his neck, and then patted it hard.

Bang, bang, bang.

Every shot hit the mark, the rough palms colliding with necks as thick as heads, like beating drums before a battle.

Seeing this, Xie Linlin's initial intention to leave with the crowd while she didn't want to get involved in the mess changed instantly.

She knew perfectly well that the simple-minded, muscle-bound bastard who was the boxing champion was now slapping the back of her neck, which was a provocation against the sword and the curse.

"Sword and Curse... What a prestigious title. I wonder which is more powerful, the Sword or the Curse King?"

Xie Linlin took a few steps back, hiding her figure in the shadows by the wall, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the group.

In terms of strength, he was undoubtedly the weakest among everyone present.

Now, it's a certainty that the twins are suspicious of her. Xie Linlin doesn't want to give up the mysterious pill the twins gave her, so being able to successfully kill Xia Che is more important than anything else.

In that case...

Why not find an ally?

Xie Linlin's gaze swept over the three people in front of her, and finally glanced at Bubble, who was squatting on the ground frantically pressing the keyboard.

no……

Bubble is a hacker, more effective than experts at information gathering, but her mission is to kill Xia Che, and her skills are of no use to her.

"So, only these three are left... Sword and Curse, and the Fist King?"

Xie Linlin touched her chin, looking somewhat hesitant.

Sword and Curse's strength is undeniable, but the Boxing King is no pushover either; it's hard to say who would win if they fought.

Should we bet our money on them?

Can……

Among the people who appeared in the living room just now, many were also incredibly powerful, and some were even rumored to be no less capable than the three people in front of them.

Should we be decisive and bet everything, or wait and see...?

Xie Linlin's eyes gradually darkened.

When a sudden change occurred in the family, it was only through her efforts that the entire Xie family was able to be saved. The suspicion cultivated by years of deceit and treachery in the business world prevented Xie Linlin from making impulsive decisions.

"Let's... take another look."

Xie Linlin suppressed her impulse; her personality prevented her from making a decision too quickly.

"Watching from the sidelines isn't a very clever tactic; be careful not to get yourself into trouble."

Just as the friction between the three in the room was getting more and more intense and they were about to fight, Xie Linlin suddenly heard a whisper. She turned her head and saw that Bubble had closed her computer at some point and was standing behind her with her arms crossed, her eyes looking deep and mysterious.

"I...I don't understand what you're saying. I'm just a little tired and want to rest here for a while before I leave."

Xie Linlin suppressed the flutter in her heart after being seen through, turned around, and pretended that the bubbles beside her were just air.

"The eldest daughter of the prestigious Xie family, whose biological father is a master debater who can spar with a group of scholars, once persuaded four angel investors worth hundreds of millions of yuan to invest in him when he was just an ordinary person, thus obtaining his first pot of gold, and then making his fortune in Jiang City... How could the daughter of such a powerful figure tell such a childish lie?"

Bubble sat down in the chair next to Xie Linlin, turned the computer back on, and a rapid clatter of keyboard clicks sounded again. At the same time, she said softly, "Is it because the Xie family has declined, or because you, Miss, have become complacent?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Xie Linlin frowned slightly, unsure of Bubble's intentions. She glanced warily at the computer in Bubble's hand, knowing that this small device could wipe out the entire market value of a listed company...

In some ways, the bubble's destructive power is more terrifying than all the experts present combined.

At least, these people only kill one person at a time, but when Bubble gets physical, countless families are shattered...

"It's okay if you don't understand, but never think that you're the only smart person here and everyone else is an idiot. If you continue to hold that kind of thought, even if you are the current head of the Xie family, your end will not be any better."

Bubble tapped on the keyboard, the screen a dark green background with white numbers constantly rising, so fast and so numerous that Xie Linlin felt a headache just from a glance.

"And what about you? You came to me just to say these things? To kindly remind me?"

Xie Linlin rubbed her eyes, which were sore from looking at Paopao's computer screen, and sneered.

"Your understanding is fine, well... let me be frank, I need your Xie family's information channels, because of all the companies in Jiang City, only the Xie family and the Li family possess this information. However, the Li family's Qingshan Real Estate is still too weak, and its patriarch, Li Qingshan, is a mediocre person who would sacrifice the greater good for petty gains... Since you are now the person in charge of the Xie family, I think it would be better to come directly to you."

"If we cooperate and kill Xia Che, you can have all the rewards I promised. I don't want any of them."

"Trust me, with my help, killing him won't be difficult."

Bubble tapped on the keyboard, but her cute eyebrows furrowed as if she had encountered a difficult problem.

"...I don't need your help. I can do it all by myself."

Xie Linlin turned her head away; she disliked the feeling of being manipulated.

"I can't do it. Others may not know your background, but I do. No... I can even say that I know the background of everyone in the Xie family."

Bubble stared intently at the screen.

"You...when did you hack into the Xie family's database?!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Linlin immediately understood that Paopao had opened the box for their entire family!

When was it done?

Why didn't anyone notice?

Are the people in the Xie family's information security department all incompetent?!

"Don't get too excited. In today's internet age, everyone is exposed. So what if this information is leaked?"

Finally, Bubble looked away from the screen for the first time, glanced at Xie Linlin, and noticed that the anger on the other's face seemed genuine. After hesitating for a moment, she finally conceded: "Okay... I admit I was wrong about this. I will not disclose any information about your Xie family to anyone. I apologize to you, but please reconsider the cooperation."

"Impossible! Don't even think about it!"
