Chapter 355: Each Shows His Magical Power
Nangong Lan: "I believe that soon, the Duanmu family will seek a new heir in the name of a public trial. By then, I hope your family will stand on my side."
Xia Houxuan: "Then what good does it have for me? Anyway, the throne belongs to your two families."
Nangong Lan: "I can keep the position of the high priest beside me for you."
Xia Houxuan: "You are planning to abandon both Xin Yu and Xiao Yuehan"
Nangong Lan: "If I don't abandon them and keep them by my side, wouldn't they be a nuisance? They are all people who have betrayed me. I have always had the same principle towards them: once unfaithful, I will never use them again. Now they are just driven by interests, each taking what they need. Once I gain power, I will definitely eliminate all of them to prevent them from becoming obstacles in my way."
Xia Houxuan: "How can I help you?"
Nangong Lan: "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what's going on with Duanmu Xueying, but I want you to insist that it has nothing to do with me. Then the minority will obey the majority, and he won't be able to do anything to me anymore."
Xia Houxuan: "Even if you can get our family's support, don't forget about the Murong family. They are full of hidden talents. If they side with the Duanmu family, the odds will be 50-50 at best. In the end, there may still be no solution. In the end, if things get out of hand, even the gods and elves will come to watch the fun."
Nangong Lan: "This is a matter of our royal family. No one wants to make trouble for people from other clans and make fun of us. I won't let them have the chance to rise. Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to gain the support of the Murong family. When the time comes, our three major families will work together to isolate the Duanmu family. I don't think they will be able to use their extraordinary abilities."
Xia Houxuan: "I can't promise you anything right now. When it comes to interests, even people like us from prominent families can only be fence-sitters, following the wind and going where the wind blows. I hope you can understand."
Nangong Lan: "Of course I understand this. I believe you will all stand on my side then."
Xia Houxuan: "I'm a pacifist. I hope that no matter how much you fight, there won't be any bloodshed. After all, most of us ordinary people don't care who the boss is. We just want to live a good life."
Nangong Lan: "I see, I have things to do and don't have time to continue catching up with you. Let's talk slowly next time when I am in power!"
He stood up, smiled, then turned and left.
Xia Houxuan sat in his original position and drank juice.
Suddenly another person sat down opposite.
"Did you miss anything and come back to get it?" Xia Houxuan asked while biting the straw.
"It's me." Situ sat opposite him and looked at him coldly.
"Why are you here again? I recently met Duanmu Yanbin and just met Nangong Lan. Now it's your turn. Come on, I'm free today anyway, so I want to hear what tricks you guys are planning to play."
"I want your family to support Nangong Yu to sit on the throne."
"Hmph." Xiahou Xuan's face was full of disdain and he sneered.
"I'm wondering what drama is going on in your family? The same seat, the father sat down, then the son, then the mother. The mother is gone, and now the father, son, and uncle are fighting for it. It's a good show!"
"Don't laugh too soon, this kind of thing has happened over and over again in every dynasty. Those of you who enjoy watching the fun and don't mind getting involved, be careful not to side with the wrong side and risk your own doom."
"Are you really threatening me? Your master is just a useless prince, why are you so arrogant?"
"Don't forget, I am the chief of the elves."
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Xuan immediately calmed down and no longer had the arrogance he had just had.
He asked calmly: "Then what conditions can your master offer me?"
Situ: "Is 500 million US dollars enough for you?"
Xia Houxuan: "You are just a bunch of lonely noblemen, why should I trust you?"
Situ: "I'll give you 100 million first to show my sincerity, okay?"
Xia Houxuan: "Brother, you are playing with fire. Be careful or you might end up with nothing."
Situ: "Even if the 500 million is wasted, it is just a drop in the bucket for our Junyue Group. We won't even blink an eye, let alone feel any pain."
Xia Houxuan thought to himself, "Money is definitely more valuable than those empty promises. Damn, this offer really makes my heart beat. No, I have to be more reserved."
Xia Houxuan: "Money is just a thing outside of my body. It is just like a cloud to me. I don't care about it."
Situ: "Don't act so hypocritical in front of me. I know exactly what your situation is. I already knew your family background before I came here. On the surface, you're still a wealthy young master, but in reality, your company is already in tatters and heavily in debt. Aren't you afraid of offending me by saying that you're the poor nobleman?"
Xia Houxuan thought to himself, "Damn it, he knows all this. It seems they are the ones who really can't be underestimated. Trying to blackmail them by raising the bar with the tide seems impossible. I'm afraid I'll lose both the wife and the army. I'd better keep the $500 million first."
Xia Houxuan: "I promise you."
Situ: "Words are not enough. People like you are the most opportunistic. Don't say that I don't trust you, but that you have no integrity at all. Hand over your family token to me as a token of your loyalty."
Xia Houxuan: "Isn't this necessary?"
Situ: "The choice is yours. You can choose to continue the transaction or stop it."
Xiahou Xuan took his hand and said with a smile: "I was reckless just now. Of course I will choose to stand on your side. Those two are old foxes. Where can you find a good brother like Nangong Yu? Situ, you are really amazing. No wonder Nangong Yu has always trusted you so much and entrusted you with all the important things."
He took off the necklace from his neck, then took out the ring hanging from it and placed it in front of Situ.
"This is our family's totem ring. Its value is no less than that of the Star of Heaven. Take it back and report to Brother Yu!"
As soon as Situ raised his hand to take the ring, Xiahou Xuan pressed him down on the stage.
"Brother, can you send me some money first to help me out of this urgent situation? Anyway, you know me inside and out, and I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. The loan sharks are going to come and kill me."
Situ smiled and said, "Send me your bank account."
Soon, Xiahou Xuan received a deposit of 100 million US dollars.
Situ stretched his neck and said, "Did you receive the money? I'll be leaving first."
Xia Houxuan: "Well, go slowly, don't forget that I still have 400 million in your hands."
Situ stood up and said, "That depends on your performance in the future." After that, he turned and left the high-end club.
Three days later, Nangong Lan and Xiahou Xuan indeed received a secret letter. The envelope was sealed with a cheetah totem stamped with beeswax. It was obvious that it was the white paper from the Duanmu family.
Xiao Yuehan walked over and took a look: "The white paper has arrived as expected. When was it scheduled? Do you want me to go with you?"
Nangong Lan: "No need for that. The appearance of a murderer like you will only give people more grounds for criticism. You should stay out of the spotlight for now."
