The young woman pursed her lips, sensing the indescribable atmosphere in the office.
"Aren't we supposed to be discussing cooperation? Why are you all standing around?"
After they finished speaking, the two finally sat down. Shen Cimo looked at the contract in his hand, and the more he looked, the more something seemed off, and the more awkward it became.
He's practically my brother-in-law, and now we're having to negotiate a business deal like this? Can he finally use his brother-in-law's authority now?
Shen Cimo cleared his throat. "I see no problem with this contract. What do you say, Young Master Qi? How about we just sign it?"
Seeing Shen Cimo already putting on airs, Qi Jiu thought, "..." Wait, has he already become this arrogant?
Is being the brother-in-law really that useful?
Luo An, who was standing next to her, seemed to have not yet realized what was happening, before Liu Yu, who had just walked in, pulled her to the side.
"Are you stupid enough to just stand there? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt? You dare to rush into this hellhole?"
Luo An was a little confused and glanced at Shen Cimo. "The M organization is quite strong, but they wouldn't dare to give our master such a hard time right away, would they? Besides, Miss Qi is still here. Isn't he afraid that Miss Qi will beat him up?"
He still remembers the scene of Miss Qijiu beating people up; just thinking about it terrifies him.
Liu Yu turned to look at him, her gaze fixed. "What if the leader of the M organization is our master's brother-in-law?"
Luo An: "???!!!"
Wait, there's this kind of connection? When did this happen?
Qi Silin looked at Shen Cimo, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I see nothing wrong with it. If Chief M is satisfied, you can sign it. If there are any additions later, just contact me."
Looking at her master's hesitant expression, Liu Yu thought, "..."
What was supposed to be a lengthy negotiation turned into a deal between the two in just a few words. Chongyu, who had just returned from outside, was stunned to hear the outcome.
"Who dares to give my brother the attitude they deserve?"
His voice was quite loud, making a commotion at the office door. He had just impatiently pushed open the door when he saw the scene inside and immediately deflated. He glanced at the doorway, seemingly wondering if he could leave now.
"Young Master Shen...?"
Wait, what's this gentleman doing here?
Chongyu touched the curly hair on his head, glanced at Qi Silin, then looked back at Qi Jiu and Liu Yu beside him, and instantly seemed to understand something.
"Um, you wouldn't happen to be the leader of the M organization, would you?"
This is like directly stabbing the brother-in-law in the backyard?
Shen Cimo looked at him, smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am the leader of the M organization. Do you think I have that much influence?"
Chongyu: "..." It's over.
They originally came to discuss a contract, but now the situation has completely changed.
Shen Cimo looked around at the environment of Death Gate Island like an old man, then glanced at Qi Qi, his smile enigmatic.
"MoMo, that..."
“I know what I should and shouldn’t say. But you must be careful internationally. I don’t know what happened, but seeing you traveling back and forth so much lately, something must have happened. If you need any help, just let me know.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu smiled.
With her head down and her voice slightly hoarse, she briefly recounted the recent events. The more the person opposite her listened, the more their brows furrowed.
After a long while, he looked at her with a hint of heartache in his eyes.
"Qiqi, such a big thing happened and you didn't tell your older brother? Your blood-related older brother isn't a good person either! Now that it's happened, nothing your older brother says will make a difference. If you need my help, just ask. We're family, aren't we?"
His voice was soft, and Qi Jiu's lips slowly curled up.
At night, Shen Ci and Mo Qijiu sat side by side on the hilltop, taking in the entire Death Gate Island. The twinkling stars in the night made the atmosphere less ominous.
"So, you're planning to take the initiative?"
The girl nodded. "Yes, the enemy is in the shadows while we are in the open. Dragging this out won't do me any good."
Who knows what other tricks Zero has up his sleeve? If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either; maybe they'll already have everything ready.
The moment she finished speaking, her phone started vibrating. Looking at the encrypted number on the screen, she answered the call without hesitation.
After saying something on the other end of the phone, the girl's expression suddenly brightened with a smile, which Chen Cimo, who was standing next to her, found quite strange.
A short while later, after hanging up the phone, she finally couldn't help but ask, "What good news? Why are you so happy?"
"They've taken down one of Zero's strongholds. Now the Delin family is starting to train its own mercenaries, and they're not as easily bullied as before. Zero's good days are numbered."
If the previous incidents were minor skirmishes, now we've reached a critical moment.
Shen Cimo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "You're my sister, you definitely won't lose."
On the other side of the deserted island, the old man looked at the two people in front of him, who were bleeding profusely and whose legs and feet had long been broken, and his anger continued to rise.
"This, this is..."
"Master, these two people were brought from the stronghold. Someone deliberately left them at the entrance of the stronghold!"
Seeing his current state, the bodyguard next to him instinctively took two steps forward to check on him, but the final result was...
Seeing the bodyguards shake their heads in unison, the old man Qi panted heavily. "Is this the skill of the Delin family heir? Good! Good! I really underestimated her!"
As he spoke, the old man turned his gaze to the people beside him. "Prepare for the next step of the plan. I want to see whether this young girl or I, a man who has lived for half a hundred years, can win!"
Having lived half a lifetime, how could I have less experience than a young girl?
"Understood!"
Everything seems calm now, but everyone understands that this is just the calm before the storm.
After spending a few days on Death Gate Island, Qi Jiu looked at the man in front of her, then at Shen Cimo beside her, and smiled.
"I'm just going there on business, and I'll take a look at the M organization while I'm at it. Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."
A few days ago, Wu Mei suddenly gave me news that there had been changes in M Continent, where the M organization is located, which is also the continent where the international assassin organization is located. In addition, I had previously promised Mo Mo that I would go to the organization to serve as a hacker instructor, so now I won't have to make another trip.
Seeing that Qi Silin wanted to say something, but when he saw Qi Jiu's little face, he ended up saying nothing.
Looking at the increasingly smaller black dot in the sky, he rubbed his head in frustration.
