"You...you..." Captain Qingshu was so angry that his mouth almost jumped out of his skin: "You injured my old man, my nephew, and so many people in our martial arts school, and you still want an apology and compensation?"
"Are you fucking stuffing donkey hair in your ears? They deserved to be injured; they tried to hurt me, I was just defending myself."
"you!"
"Enough!" Old Hei shouted, "Zheng Yang! Is everything you're saying true?"
“I can testify!” Duanmu Xiuchun stepped forward.
"I don't need her to testify, I have video footage here, it's all recorded!"
As I spoke, I uploaded what I saw to the computer and sent it to Lao Hei.
Old Hei didn't even need to read the whole thing to know what was going on.
"This matter is indeed not Zheng Yang's fault. Your Qing Shu family should compensate Zheng Yang..."
"Ten million US dollars!" I chimed in. "I wouldn't care about less, and my brain wouldn't be sharp enough to calculate that much."
Old Hei's face twitched as he listened; what I asked for had clearly frightened him.
Captain Qing Shu: "Why don't you just go and rob it?"
"Shut up! Your family started this trouble, and you're still babbling on. It's settled then! Three days... no! Before tonight, send over ten million Mei Jin."
When Lao Hei spoke, Captain Qing Shu didn't dare utter a sound.
"Yes! May I go now?"
A thought struck me, and I put all the heavy machine gun barrels back into place.
Old Hei and the others were secretly shocked.
I wonder what they're all plotting.
Peng Jun then came back to my room with me: "You're something else. I thought I was coming back to rescue you! Turns out you've managed to control the lives of an entire squadron."
"I was lucky. If they hadn't brought armored vehicles, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything."
However, this also exposed my methods. I guess next time, they won't use any automated devices to get close to me.
Peng Jun nodded: "Indeed, your move is too unbeatable. It was clearly their weapon, but you used it against them."
After you finish your calculations, they'll probably try to kill you.
With you around, I'm really worried.
That's what I think too. The only way to protect ourselves now is to keep getting stronger, which also means constantly increasing the difficulty of having the next generation.
That's the essence of the saying "you can't have everything."
"Oh, right! There's one more thing. I saw a woman today, and she might be the reason why Old Hei was in such a hurry to unlock that device."
"Oh?" First the castle, then Old Black, what kind of person would get them to do things for him?
Don't forget, they are all like Peng Jun; even officials have to consult with them.
Who is that woman?
"You've hit the nail on the head. You know there are international rich lists, right?"
It seems like anyone with common sense would know this.
"According to Master, are there other rules for this ranking?"
"By the way, this is just the official list; the wealthy people on it are those that everyone knows and has heard of."
Others are so low-profile they're practically nonexistent, yet their wealth might surpass that of ten of the world's richest people.
"Holy crap!" I really don't know how else to express my shock.
The world's richest man! Even someone who makes money in seconds can't compare to a tenth of that?
"How rich must they be?"
"Don't even think about how much money they have. All I can say is that if they say one thing, the whole world could change."
A single word from them can make countless people rush to do things for them, even a head of state.
Wouldn't that make him a de facto emperor? It's no wonder that Lao Hei and his gang would do things for him.
"Master, do you know them?"
"By chance, I came into contact with one of their errand runners, someone who was out on business."
"Is it the woman you were talking about?"
Peng Jun nodded. He didn't mention the woman directly, but instead told me about his past encounter with her.
Twenty years ago, Peng Jun received news that a group of Americans had broken into the Daxia Nature Reserve to poach.
They not only killed protected animals, but also injured a forest ranger.
That forest ranger was also a friend of Peng Jun.
Enraged, Peng Jun charged forward.
However, he was too late; those people had already escaped the borders of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Enraged, Peng Jun chased after them and eventually killed them abroad. He also obtained valuable medicinal herbs such as bear bile and tiger bone from their hunt.
Peng Jun was surprised to find that among these people was Mei Jun, an active-duty major general.
Mei Guo was furious and vowed to make Peng Jun pay with his life, so he put pressure on Da Xia.
The Great Xia Dynasty was fully prepared for war that time.
It was on that occasion that a woman approached Peng Jun and told him that if he handed over the bear bile to her, she would settle the matter.
Peng Jun didn't believe it at first. This had already escalated into a conflict between two countries. Could a mere girl like her really handle this?
Peng Jun told her that if she could get Mei Guo to stop immediately, he would give her the bear bile.
To everyone's surprise, after just one phone call, the US side immediately dropped the matter.
"It was around that time that I learned there was another group of people even more impressive than the heads of state of various countries."
They are a hereditary conglomerate, not well-known, but with the power to influence the course of events.
His subordinates are also a diverse group of talented and extraordinary individuals.
"This is terrifying. Are there any Great Xia people inside?"
Peng Jun shook his head: "I don't know either. Even the number one leader of our Great Xia at that time didn't know much about it."
Anyway, I knew there was such a group of people, and I happened to help one of them, preventing the medicine from falling into the hands of their rivals.
I saw her again today, when she was talking to Old Black.
