Chapter 166 Cunning Old Man
Huo Tianxiang smiled kindly through the screen, "I hope you won't take offense at the lack of care."
Meng Shiwan also forced a smile, "It's a small matter, nothing to worry about. We're here to do business. As long as the business is done, nothing else matters."
Meng Shiwan asked the system in her mind, "Locate his location."
Huo Tianxiang is indeed cunning and shrewd, and he's kept it well hidden.
But this time he encountered Meng Shiwan, who possessed an extremely powerful cheat code.
The system quickly reported the location: "Inside the study in the southeast corner of the third floor."
Meng Shiwan remained expressionless, staring intently at Huo Tianxiang on the screen.
Huo Tianxiang laughed, "Ability enhancement fluid is such a good thing, there would be people scrambling for it anywhere, why did you come here?"
This statement was still a test.
This island is in the sea and far from the mainland.
They don't sell to those bases on land, but instead send them all the way to the sea and deliver them right to their doorstep.
This is strange in itself.
Meng Shiwan calmly replied, "The acquisition of this batch of ability-enhancing fluid was dishonest, and it's not safe to trade it on land. Besides, I also want to get a good price. I heard that President Huo is very wealthy, so I naturally have to ask him if he wants it first. If he can offer a price that I'm satisfied with, we'll all be happy."
Huo Tianxiang leaned forward, resting his arm on the desk. "How many do you have, and what price are you looking for?"
Meng Shiwan answered crisply, "I have one hundred tubes, each containing two thousand crystal cores. No bargaining."
Her words were firm, giving the impression that there was no room for negotiation.
Huo Tianxiang's eyes were dark, and it was unclear what he was planning.
At this moment, Meng Shiwan spoke up again to remind him, "If I can get a hundred bottles of power-enhancing fluid, I can get even more in the future. Maybe we can cooperate more in the future."
This was meant to tell Huo Tianxiang that he had better not have any thoughts of murder and robbery.
If she lives, there might be more deals for the ability-enhancing fluid in the future; if she is killed, there will only be these hundred vials left.
Huo Tianxiang laughed heartily, "How could that be? I know the rules of business best. Miss Meng, why don't you take the goods out and let me see them? If there are no problems, we can cooperate happily."
Meng Shiwan raised her hand, and a storage box appeared on the table in front of her, the kind of small storage box that costs ten or twenty yuan.
She opened the lid, and the power-enhancing fluid was neatly stacked inside.
The butler stepped forward to take a look and said politely to Meng Shiwan, "Miss Meng, we need to check two more."
Meng Shiwan gestured for him to proceed, "Anything is fine, just give me the crystal core later."
Her open and honest demeanor deepened the butler's smile.
The housekeeper pulled out two vials and called in a doctor and a security guard to draw blood for testing on the spot.
Meng Shiwan remained outwardly calm, but secretly instructed the system in her mind, "After I get the crystal core, I'll go upstairs and kill that guy. When the time is right, teleport my RV over and wait for me at the door."
System: "This will cost money, one hundred crystal cores."
Meng Shiwan knew its character, so she said, "Okay."
Both samples were tested and both were fine; they are genuine superpower enhancement fluid.
Huo Tianxiang instructed the steward, "Check the count and send someone to fetch the crystal cores."
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
The housekeeper took out a satellite phone to make the announcement, and then personally squatted down by the table to count the number of each item.
Meng Shiwan was meticulous, saying, "Count the sample I sent you before, there are 202,000 crystal cores, not a single one can be missing."
The butler smiled and said, "Of course, how could we let Miss Meng suffer a loss? Please wait a moment, the crystal core will be delivered soon."
After the butler counted the amount of the power-enhancing fluid and confirmed it was correct, he carefully closed the lid of the storage box and placed it on the table.
Once the crystal core is delivered and the transaction is completed, he will be able to take the power-enhancing fluid with him.
With these items, the strength of the superhumans within the Bloody Pirates will undoubtedly increase dramatically.
At that time, the Bloody Pirates would have truly dominated a sea area, grown powerful, and would move back to land before the tsunami hit.
They will surely have a place among the newly emerging forces in this apocalyptic world.
They will create new systems and build their own kingdom.
Someone pushed several large boxes into the living room. The butler stepped forward, opened them, and revealed the crystal cores inside.
The housekeeper asked Meng Shiwan, "Should we weigh the quantity?"
Meng Shiwan stepped forward, placed her hand on the boxes of crystal cores, and put all the crystal cores into her spatial storage.
She smiled and said, "The number of crystal cores is correct. We are all doing business in good faith, and you won't be stingy with those few crystal cores."
The butler nodded, "Of course, we'll need to cooperate more in the future."
He wanted to shake hands with Meng Shiwan on behalf of President Huo to show goodwill, but the person standing in front of him disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Disappeared?
The butler's expression changed drastically. He quickly turned around and saw Huo Tianxiang on the screen, his neck severed by a blade of ice.
Blood splattered all over the screen, and a head fell to the ground with a thud.
"Mr. Huo!!!" the butler exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing the commotion inside, the security personnel outside all rushed in.
At the same time, Meng Shiwan's beautiful face appeared in front of the camera, splattered with blood, and she said softly, "Make your move."
The people sitting on the sofa quickly stood up.
Tao Yarong put the box of power-enhancing liquid into her card space. "Ta Xue, a fight has broken out."
Ta Xue, who was lying on the carpet intently munching on dried cod, suddenly sprang up and pounced on the crowd that rushed in.
It can swat a person away with a single swipe of its paw.
Those who tread the snow quickly and with great strength are like chickens, charging and crashing about.
Tao Yarong, Lei Zhe, Lu Yu, and Jiang Yuan unleashed their superpowers, and these security personnel, all low-level superpower users, were no match for them, even with guns.
In a matter of moments, they cleaned it up.
Meng Shiwan came downstairs and walked quickly outside. "Get in the car."
Lei Zhe asked, "A car?"
They followed Meng Shiwan outside and saw her pink RV parked at the door at some point.
Meng Shi got into the passenger seat that evening. "Lei Zhe, drive."
Lei Zhe stepped into the driver's seat. "Wasn't the RV on the boat? How did it suddenly get here?"
In this critical moment, no one answered his question.
Tao Yarong opened the side door of the RV and let Taxue get in first. She, Lu Yu, and Jiang Yuan then entered the vehicle one after the other.
A loud, piercing alarm sounded inside the castle.
Tao Yarong slammed the door shut, and the world fell silent instantly.
It was so quiet that only the sound of the air conditioner running inside the RV and the breathing of a few people could be heard.
Tao Yarong exclaimed, "What amazing soundproofing!"
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, are we going to die here?" Lei Zhe's terrified voice rang out, trembling.
The group quickly looked outside, but saw no one approaching. Instead, people nearby were fleeing into the distance.
Looking up at the sky again, a high-explosive anti-tank missile hurtled toward the RV.
