Chapter 140
Taylor actually didn't really want to communicate with these demon kings.
Ever since he knew that the Devil was not the highest being in hell and that the Lord of Hell was the master of hell, his previous filter disappeared instantly and he even began to become picky.
For example, compared with the Lord of Hell, the appearances of the demon kings are extremely strange and their personalities are very violent, just like the noisy prisoners in prison every day. In comparison, His Excellency the Lord of Hell is so calm, cool, noble and elegant.
But since this is the Lord of Hell's request...
Taylor said with a stiff upper lip: "I dare say that the so-called savior will definitely learn the biggest lesson in his life. You know, Su Xingyuan is well-known for being kind to his own people. When he was trapped in S City, many people saw him trying his best to save people."
The black-robed man thought quickly and immediately responded, "That's true, Lord Demon King. Su Xingyuan saved an entire city's worth of residents in that battle. This shows that he is truly devoted to his companions and ordinary people. Once betrayed, he will never forget it for the rest of his life."
When an idea comes out, it is often the most urgent. Derek is now personally verifying this point - especially when the world barrier is unstable and he doesn't know when he will be unable to act if he doesn't act now.
Moreover, the appearance of the Demon King will inevitably catalyze the birth of the large portal that was supposed to appear, and it can almost immediately carry out its own revenge.
Derek became more determined, and after a moment's thought, his action quickly turned into mist and dissipated.
The fifth demon king sighed and said, "How quick you are... What a pity! The cute little mermaid will surely die of sadness."
The Fourth Demon King was also very dissatisfied. After all, he also harbored resentment towards Su Xingyuan. What if the Third Demon King forcibly imprisoned Su Xingyuan's soul and only vented his anger himself, preventing him from taking revenge?
The several demon kings had their own thoughts. Only the man in black robe and Taylor looked at each other and said nothing.
...Want to trick Su Xingyuan?
The devil doesn’t know much about it yet, but everyone in the world knows that the savior loves to act.
It’s not certain who is really cheating whom.

Lawyer Gao had a simple breakfast and watched the daily news while waiting for Su Xingyuan to come downstairs.
Maybe it was because she knew him a little better, so when she saw the black-haired boy, she keenly felt that something was different.
"Why are you so energetic today?" Lawyer Gao asked suspiciously, "What new fun have you thought of?"
Su Xingyuan: "Of course, this is super fun."
Lawyer Gao had a blank expression on his face: "You, who need to appear in court today, have such an expression. It seems that this matter is really very funny. But what I want to say is that if you continue to damage my nerves, I will report the work injury to Boss Xu."
The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly and said innocently, "It's not that serious, is it?"
"But," he curved his eyes, "I'm afraid the court won't be able to open today."
Lawyer Gao paused slightly.
Her first reaction was not to question Su Xingyuan, but to start thinking directly about what had happened in this short night.
She had just watched the morning news. Apart from the comments about Su Xingyuan destroying another cult den last night, there was nothing special. Apparently, the major event that could delay his court appearance had not happened yet.
Then there is only one reason why Su Xingyuan knew about this.
"Did you cause it, or were you involved?" Lawyer Gao said tiredly, "Mr. Su Xingyuan, has your skull healed?"
Su Xingyuan gave a thumbs up: "One hundred percent healing, do you need me to perform a head-butting performance on the spot?"
Lawyer Gao: “…That’s not necessary.”
She didn't ask any more questions, but found a new posture, sat down comfortably, and ordered a cup of coffee. She obviously had no doubts about Su Xingyuan's words that "the court cannot be held today."
The black-haired boy also looked very natural, not thinking there was anything wrong, as if it was natural that people would believe what he said, no matter how outrageous it was.
Time passes by every second.
Just after Lawyer Gao calmly hung up a phone call trying to find out where they were before the trial, thick fog suddenly spread over the entire city.
Although Lawyer Gao looks relaxed, her professional ethics requires her to keep an eye on her surroundings all the time. Therefore, the moment fog suddenly filled the window, she noticed something was wrong.
Lawyer Gao looked up and found that Su Xingyuan had been looking out the window without her noticing. However, his expression was very calm. When he noticed that she was looking at him, he retracted his gaze, met her eyes, and said sincerely:
"It wasn't me."
Obviously, Su Xingyuan has a certain self-awareness about how he is perceived by others.
Although Lawyer Gao doubted that Su Xingyuan would really do such a thing in order to avoid going to court, after comprehensive consideration, she still felt that it was more credible that someone else was causing trouble, so she stood up and asked, "Targeting you?"
Su Xingyuan said seriously: "Not really."
Lawyer Gao nodded: "There are some parts directed at you, but not all of them are directed at you."
Her voice became a little cold: "It really is haunting."
The fog was so thick that visibility was less than two meters when going out. If it was before the portal appeared, such weather would not cause any panic, but now that monsters can appear almost at any time, the appearance of this abnormal weather means something self-evident.
As panic spread, more and more topics about the fog appeared on social networking sites. All walks of life announced temporary suspension of work, and the court opening time was naturally postponed.
Lawyer Gao closed the doors and windows and sat down again.
Su Xingyuan was so calm that it meant there were no enemies at the moment, and she felt relieved.
Another two hours passed before the official media released an announcement.
"It's a portal." Lawyer Gao frowned slightly. "It's right at the port of this city, very close to us, so there's so much fog..."
"The official strength of the portal is S-level."
"Only S-level?" The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly and asked in a relaxed tone.
Lawyer Gao understood something instantly.
"You mean..."
"Of course there is a barrier between S-level and S-level." Su Xingyuan pointed to the official statement of Country A on the tablet in his hand: "I suspect that the equipment will explode when they are testing... Maybe they are scared to death now?"
——Your tone sounds quite happy.
Lawyer Gao: "You will join the team that attacks the portal."
The doorbell rang.
"Hello, are you the Suxingyuan Hunter?"
Su Xingyuan nodded slightly, and the waiter opened the door and let the person outside in.
Without waiting for the person who came in to state his purpose, Su Xingyuan smiled and made the number "five".
The men in black were stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Five billion, right?"
For a portal of this level, if we can ask Su Xingyuan to help, what’s the big deal about 5 billion? The worst situation now is that Su Xingyuan is unwilling to take action!
According to the researchers' speculation, no matter how difficult the portal is, its state is very unstable. At least three S-level hunters must enter the portal to prevent it from collapsing at any time.
S-level hunters are not cabbages that can be found everywhere. The resources required to train one are enormous. Su Xingyuan's strength is far behind other S-level hunters, so asking him for help is the most cost-effective option.
"Five billion will be paid to you later..."
"Wait a minute." The black-haired boy propped up his chin with his hand. His green eyes were clearly smiling, but there was no fluctuation in his voice. "I think you may have misunderstood."
"I meant five million," he paused deliberately, "magic crystals."
Lawyer Gao's eyebrows jumped.
The people in black stopped breathing.
“Five million magic crystals.” The leader almost shouted out, and managed to steady his voice, “You’re asking for too much, Xingyuan Hunter!”
Su Xingyuan spread his hands indifferently: "You can also choose not to ask me to help."
The black-haired boy stood up and turned to walk towards his room. His voice was very calm from beginning to end, even a little cold: "You want to use 5 billion currency in exchange for my life for the survival of Country A? I don't think there is such a good thing in the world, sir."
"see a visitor out."
The men in black gritted their teeth unwillingly, but they really could not agree to the outrageous request of five million magic crystals, so they had no choice but to leave.
Lawyer Gao turned off the screen of his mobile phone: "The God's Blessed Group is indeed closely connected with the government of Country A." The speed of information flow was also as fast as expected.
Last night, Su Xingyuan made the five gesture to the "Son of God" and demanded 5 billion in compensation. If he made the gesture again today, these people would accurately and naturally assume so.
but……
Lawyer Gao glanced at Su Xingyuan and admired him from the bottom of his heart: "You are so brave to ask for it."
It is no exaggeration to say that there is no grass growing wherever Suxingyuan passes.
Su Xingyuan said modestly: "The wool has been delivered to my door, it would be a waste not to grab it."
——Since you’re targeting me, you don’t mind if he takes this opportunity to make some pocket money for himself, right?
Unfortunately, the Security Inspection Bureau did not get the real meaning behind Su Xingyuan’s price hike, which is “I have to be the one.”
They thought that although Su Xingyuan was the best choice, the price he asked for was so high that it was simply unreasonable. What's more, he was a hunter from Country C. What if he attacked their own S-level hunters in the portal?
After comprehensive consideration, they selected a total of seven S-level hunters to enter the portal.
All the news about the S-level hunters were announced on the Internet to calm the public. At the same time, some people noticed that Su Xingyuan's name, who was currently in Country A, was not on the list.
【? Isn't he an S-class hunter known for his superb strength? Why don’t you take action? 】
[You are crazy. No matter how strong you are, you still need permission to interfere with other countries' portals. And since Country A is so calculating towards them, don't even think about taking advantage of them.]
[I heard that Country A went to invite a hunter, and that hunter asked for 5 million magic crystals.]
【? ? Five million magic crystals? ! Oh my god, is he crazy? ! 】
[What's wrong with five million magic crystals? Brothers, can you think clearly about what you encountered? It's a special portal of the lowest S level. Do you want a top-level S-level hunter to work for you with five million magic crystals? It’s a nice thought.]
[Yes, and Su Xingyuan didn’t force you to ask for it. You can choose not to give it or not to ask for it. Isn't it good now? We don't interfere with each other.]
There was a heated argument online, but the black-haired boy was not affected at all and continued to build a poker tower.
At times, he was indeed patient.
