Xia Tianqiong pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure out why the Imperial Capital Bureau would help the ancient family.
"Forget it, I'll go see what tricks they're up to. As for the other cunning generals, call them all over and take them with me."
"Master, are you really going? Old Man Huo is the Demon King, won't he be in danger?"
The delivery guy looked worried.
Xia Tianqiong laughed dismissively, "The Ghost King wouldn't dare to act rashly, otherwise this mortal world would shatter prematurely. Even if he dared to make a move, we're not afraid. Everyone has a Ghost King in their life."
As he spoke, he took the hand of the ghost bride.
The ghost bride stayed by his side the whole time, like a little follower, with no presence at all.
The delivery guy knew the identity of the ghost bride, so he immediately felt relieved.
Xia Tianqiong absorbed all the evil generals into his body, rode the white dragon, and flew towards the capital.
Just as he flew over the mansion, he suddenly heard someone calling him from below.
"Hey, Mr. Xia, don't go!"
Xia Tianqiong looked down and saw a pair of twins who looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place them.
He thought it was a fan, waved to him in a friendly manner, and then rode away on his dragon.
"Why is this person coming and going in such a hurry? It's so hard to even catch a glimpse of them!"
Huang Yiman couldn't help but complain.
Huang Liyun didn't care. "If we can't see each other, we can't see each other. We can just stay here and play for a few more days."
"But what Father entrusted to me is very important!"
"If it were really important, they wouldn't have sent the two of us. Don't worry! Let's go eat some more barbecue."
At the same time, Huang Kun, who was far away in the capital, suddenly received a phone call.
It was a call from the Imperial Capital Headquarters, asking him to go to the conference room, saying that Xia Tianqiong would be there soon.
He was so excited that he told his wife and rushed over.
When he arrived at the conference room and saw the people inside, he was suddenly stunned, and then overjoyed.
The presence of the other family heads in the meeting room was not something to be happy about; what was pleasant was that Old Master Huo and Director Zhang were also there.
The fact that these two personally intervened was something none of the family heads had expected.
The heads of the families exchanged glances, all with smiles on their lips.
They had already guessed that the Imperial Bureau was helping them behind the scenes, but they didn't expect the scale of the operation to be so large, to the point that the Ghost King himself had to make an appearance.
What's there to be afraid of? When Xia Tianqiong gets here, he'll definitely be taught a lesson!
Xia Tianqiong rode the white dragon and soon arrived at the capital.
Looking down, the bustling traffic and prosperity remain unchanged, as if the apocalypse outside has nothing to do with this place.
They were discovered as soon as they entered the capital area, and a patrol team quickly flew over.
The person in charge had already received orders, and upon seeing him, immediately led the way to the Tianlong headquarters, escorting him all the way to the conference room door.
Xia Tianqiong entered the conference room alone; the Ghost Bride was not by her side.
He wanted to test Old Master Huo's attitude, so he let the ghost bride enter the bronze mirror before coming, and wouldn't call her out unless necessary.
As he walked in, pairs of eyes turned to look at him.
The expressions on the faces of the different family heads were all different.
Huang Kun smiled, as if looking at an old friend, but it was a forced smile, a bit fake.
Wang Qingxian and Xiao Shanke had cold expressions and hatred in their eyes.
Mo Qiankun remained calm and indifferent.
The remaining three family heads looked at each other with scrutiny and smugness on their lips, as if they had already won.
"Captain Xia, please have a seat. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhang. I was formerly the director of the Beijing General Bureau. Now I am the regimental commander. You can call me Director Zhang or Regimental Commander Zhang."
Director Zhang spoke first, with a big smile and great enthusiasm, "Although this is our first meeting, we have dealt with each other many times before."
Xia Tianqiong smiled and casually pulled out a chair to sit down. "I often hear Captain Du mention Director Zhang."
When he was causing trouble in the capital, it was Du Fuwei who relayed Director Zhang's instructions to him. He had never met him, but he had heard of his name.
He looked at the old man next to Director Zhang, who should be the Ghost King Huo.
The old man was resting with his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.
"No need for unnecessary words. What did you call me here to discuss?"
Director Zhang was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to be so direct.
Turning to look at Elder Huo, whose eyes were still closed, he then looked at the other family heads.
The family heads exchanged glances, and then Wang Qingxian spoke.
He sat up straight, suddenly exuding an aura, and glared angrily at Xia Tianqiong.
“You have allowed the army of monsters to slaughter innocent civilians and our Lucky Alliance's monster hunters. You must give an explanation for this today.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Shanke added, "Don't think you're so great just because you have a few cunning generals. This world isn't yours to call the shots, young man. I advise you to see the situation clearly and not ruin your future."
The other family heads remained silent and did not speak.
Xia Tianqiong sat there, her face calm in the face of questioning, but a strange smile appeared on her lips.
That's it?
He looked at Old Master Huo, who had kept his eyes closed, and asked, "You called me here just to listen to these two idiots barking?"
Logically speaking, the Imperial Capital Bureau is unlikely to stand up for the ancient families, and the Ghost King wouldn't care about something that has nothing to do with him.
"I called you here because I have something very important to discuss with you."
Old Huo's voice was rough and hoarse. As he spoke, he slowly opened his old eyes, which gleamed with a sharp light.
He raised his hand and pointed to the family heads, but his eyes were on Xia Tianqiong. "These are gifts that I am giving to my young friend. I can't let this trip be in vain."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
The seven family heads were dumbfounded, as if petrified.
Immediately afterwards, cold sweat poured down his back and his body trembled.
They then realized that the Imperial Bureau was going to use them as gifts to Xia Tianqiong.
