Chapter 0148 The Enemy's Enemy Is My Ally
I’ll catch up on yesterday’s first update, and there will be three more updates today, because I have to take the expressway home tomorrow! Another thousand kilometers!
…
Wanbao Tower.
Qian Manlou's face was gloomy and his eyebrows were lowered.
Xu Kun looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, feeling a little dazed.
"Hu Bi...ah no, Hu Ben?"
The uninvited guest, the white-fronted tiger Hu Ben, was delighted when he heard this and bowed humbly towards Xu Kun.
"Thank you, Lord Kun, for remembering me!"
"What are you doing here?" Xu Kun asked curiously when Qian Manlou didn't speak.
"I am here to report a piece of news to Lord Kun on behalf of our Hucha clan!" Huben said respectfully.
Xu Kun frowned, did he represent the Hucha clan?
The human race has not established diplomatic relations with the Husha clan, one of the seven majestic royal clans. Of course, there has never been any large-scale friction between the two clans!
As a seven-king family like the Xuangui Clan, the Husha Clan has always been a superior being. The Human Clan is just a B-class race, and I am afraid they are not qualified to be in the eyes of such a big family!
"Brother Qian?" Xu Kun looked at Qian Manlou.
But the latter just snorted: "Handle your affairs yourself!"
Xu Kun was confused when he saw his appearance. He could only look at Huben and said, "What's the news? Tell me!"
"Can I take a moment to speak?" Huben asked.
"Just say it here!" Qian Manlou interrupted, his tone unquestionable.
Xu Kun also nodded: "Say it!"
Huben did not refuse and said bluntly: "Not long ago, our clan, the Tiger Lord, was invited to participate in a meeting led by the Dragon Clan. Because our clan did not want to get involved, the Tiger Lord withdrew at the beginning of the meeting. The theme of the meeting was exactly Master Kun, who has made many extraordinary achievements!"
"Meeting against me!" Xu Kun shook his eyebrows.
Qian Manlou on the side was also startled, and his face became even more gloomy.
Huben nodded and continued: "Although the content of the meeting is unclear, Hu Zun's guess is that several major clans, headed by the Dragon Clan, including the Black Turtle Clan, Shura Clan, and Jiao Clan, should take action against you, Master Kun. Therefore, I am here to remind you. I hope Master Kun can make preparations as soon as possible!"
Xu Kun stared at Huben's face for a while, then smiled and said: "The Hucha clan has such good intentions? How could the powerful Saint-level Tiger Master still miss me, a mere junior of the human race?"
If you tell me, you will believe me!
Huben didn't seem surprised when faced with Xu Kun's question, and seemed to have known that Xu Kun had such doubts.
He replied: "Although I, the Hucha clan, are one of the seven royal clans, we have never participated in unnecessary fights. I am afraid that Master Kun would be able to guess the purpose of this trip if I didn't tell you!"
"The enemy's enemy and our ally, I hope that Lord Kun can escape this disaster. I am willing to meet at the top and go to glory together!"
"Master Kun, Master Qian, the message from our Tiger Lord has been delivered. This place is a human trading area. It is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so I am resigning!"
Huben came and went quickly, as if without any purpose. As he said, the Hucha clan just wanted to reveal the news and give Xu Kun an early warning so that the plans of several major clans would fail!
This will attract more energy from several major clans and facilitate the stable development of the Hucha clan!
After Huben left, the atmosphere in the room was silent for a long time.
In the end, Xu Kun was the first to speak: "Brother Qian, what do you think?"
"Hmph!" Qian Manlou snorted arrogantly again, turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't bother me, Brother Qian. I'm my younger brother. What did I do wrong to make you unhappy?" Xu Kun stepped forward quickly and stopped in front of Qian Manlou.
Qian Manlou squinted his eyes and said in a strange tone: "Boy, you have become more capable now and can talk to the geniuses of the seven royal families. It seems that we old guys have pampered you too much and made you forget Yes, there are some things that cannot be touched!"
Xu Kun was shocked: "Brother Qian, what are you talking about!"
"Don't act stupid like me here!" Qian Manlou said angrily.
"Brother Qian, even if you have a problem with me, you have to let me die to understand, right?" Xu Kun said pitifully.
"Well, let me ask you, have you made any transactions with other trial members on the third level?"
Xu Kun didn't hide anything and nodded: "That's the case!"
Qian Manlou's eyes immediately widened: "Then do you know what is the crime within the human race if one conducts transactions with other races privately without the consent of the higher-ups?"
Hearing this, instead of showing fear on Xu Kun's face, he said excitedly: "Is it possible that someone really gave me the money to buy my life?"
Qian Manlou, who had just become a little angry, was stunned when he heard this.
He really wanted to pry open Xu Kun's head and see what was inside!
Do you know that when the superiors learned about this incident, they wanted to question you. If the boss hadn't suppressed it on his own, there would be security police asking you to open the door now!
Hoo ho ho!
Qian Manlou tried his best to calm down his mood. He wanted to see what other flowers could come out of this brat's mouth.
Xu Kun said excitedly: "Brother Qian, how many did you send? Are there many things?"
Qian Manlou almost gritted his teeth and said, "What are you thinking? Do you really think those race testers are honest businessmen? After taking advantage of you one by one, do you really expect them to send you money?"
Xu Kun's excited expression faded, and he looked unmotivated.
"But..." Qian Manlou changed the subject, making Xu Kun's eyes light up and his ears pricked up.
"There is one exception, the Husha tribe behind the Hu Ben just now, who sent a large amount of resources at the first time, including a 10th-level secret realm and a 20th-level poor mine..."
The more Qian Manlou said, the brighter Xu Kun's eyes became. The Husha tribe was really generous. Even if he didn't know the value of these things, a rough calculation showed that it was a huge sum of money, which could not be simply measured by human currency!
"This Hu Ben is a man of integrity!" After listening, Xu Kun nodded happily.
Qian Manlou's expression froze. It seems that I have been talking for a long time, and you still think this is a good thing?
This is a hot potato!
At this point, Qian Manlou didn't care about showing his displeasure to Xu Kun, and said seriously: "Silly boy, you've caused a big disaster this time, and you're still complacent here!"
Xu Kun was puzzled: "Brother Qian, it's not that serious, I earned the things with my own ability, it's fine if you don't applaud, but how can it be considered as causing trouble!"
Qian Manlou took a deep breath: "You haven't forgotten the Wang Yue couple who were tricked by Mingjing and ambushed you before?"
"Of course not!"
Xu Kun still remembers the scene last night.
But this news spread really fast, it seems that his uncle Yang pays a lot of attention to him!
"Then have you forgotten what crime the public security bureau used to arrest Wang Yue and his wife?"
Xu Kun certainly knew that Gu Siming explained the matter clearly at the meeting at the Zhan family after the war!
"The crime of colluding with foreigners and reselling human race materials!"
"You still know that although the Public Security Bureau took action against the Wang family, it was largely because of the pressure you put on Gu Siming, but what ultimately crushed the Wang family was the Wang family's own dirty tricks. Relying on the fact that the family has two warrior-level strongmen, they were so bold as to trade with foreigners in private for profit. This crime alone is enough for Wang Yue and his wife to be sued for a lifetime!"
"Then do you know how much the materials resold by the Wang family are worth?"
Xu Kun shook his head, not knowing the details.
Qian Manlou gave the answer: "3.35874 billion, 3,062 human race currency!"
Good guy, Xu Kun exclaimed, good guy, there are both decimals and integers, it's hard for Qian Manlou to remember this string of numbers firmly!
As expected of the owner of Wanbao Tower, as expected of a person known as a person with a lot of money, his sensitivity to numbers makes us admire him!
"Then do you know how much the so-called life money sent by the Tiger Killing Clan is worth?"
"Brother Qian, just tell me!" From what Qian Manlou said, it is estimated that it is not lower than the transaction amount of the Wang family's reselling of materials!
But the Wang family's is the transaction amount, not the profit, and this time, it is a zero-cost business!
"Not to mention other things, it is a 10th-level secret realm and a 20th-level poor mining area. Calculated in human currency, it is at least over 100 billion. This is just the market price. Generally, no race will sell such resources, because this is the foundation of a race!"
Xu Kun's eyes widened!
I underestimated the generosity of the seven royal families. Although I was talking nonsense at that time and asked the race trialists headed by the Tiger Guards and the Seven Evils to send the life money, but the sky-high price, sitting down to pay the money, I thought, if I can make 100 million, it is 100 million!
Just a token of appreciation. If they meet again in the future, it will be considered as a sign of their presence. If it is not necessary, they can spare their lives!
Unexpectedly, they directly raised their psychological expectations by a thousand times, not counting other miscellaneous things!
Can only be described in one word: rich!
Looking at Xu Kun's expression, Qian Manlou thought Xu Kun had realized the seriousness of the matter. He thought that Xu Kun was still too young. This matter should be regarded as a lesson. He should not make the same mistake again next time!
Who would have thought that before he could speak, Xu Kun asked: "This price is used to buy the life of an SS-level talent. Is it a loss?"
Qian Manlou's brain crashed instantly, and he hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Hmm? Brother Qian, I don't quite understand this number. How much can an SS-level talent who hasn't grown up be worth?"
Qian Manlou confirmed that Xu Kun was not joking, and his face twitched slightly as he said, "It should be about the same!"
"Oh~ That's fine. This unfortunate fellow Hu Ben... No, boss, is worth getting along with. Next time, find a way to do business with him a few more times!"
Poof!
Qian Manlou felt a tightness in his chest and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
A few more times?
Are you really going to die?
At this moment, Qian Manlou was sure that Xu Kun really didn't know how to write the word death!
"Xu Kun!" In a hurry, Qian Manlou stopped calling him brother Kun and brat, and directly called Xu Kun's real name.
"Why are you yelling so loudly!" Xu Kun said unhappily.
"Don't be so nice to me here. This is a resource worth hundreds of billions. Don't you think about whether you can keep the money?"
"The higher-ups have put pressure on us. Do you know what the consequences will be if your case is really determined?"
"What consequences?" Xu Kun asked curiously.
"At the least, you will be deprived of the rights of the human race. At the worst, you will be imprisoned for political review. We will release you only after we make sure that you have no suspicion of colluding with other races!"
"If my boss hadn't suppressed this matter, do you think you can talk nonsense in front of me now?"
"If you don't handle this matter well, you will lose the support of a group of high-level human race officials!"
After listening to Qian Manlou's words, Xu Kun frowned and thought silently.
"Are you afraid now? Think about it, in order to make this little money, you have lost all your goodwill in front of the senior management. Is this deal worth it or a loss? If you continue to be stubborn, I won't care about you anymore. !”
Xu Kun remained silent.
Qian Manlou was furious and said: "Speak!"
"Listen!" Xu Kun said in a deep voice, and then said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "I did this matter openly and aboveboard, why should the higher-ups of the human race punish me?"
"You!" Qian Manlou almost couldn't breathe.
"I have earned a secret realm and a poor mining area for the entire human race. If you don't praise me, you will accuse me? What kind of truth is this?"
"Does that mean I should have acted like a fool and asked Ying to help them defeat the Wall of Sighs? In front of the final teleportation array, I should not have left those two SS-level talents behind, and should have placed myself among all races. On the other hand, he will kill all the geniuses he can kill, and then make many enemies for himself, and in the end he will become a must-kill existence for all races, so that the top leaders of the human race will be satisfied? "
Xu Kun almost roared, his eyes were slightly red, he felt extremely wronged.
After saying this, Qian Manlou stood dumbly on the ground.
"Stubborn? Looking for money? I, Xu Kun, can't bear such a big crime. In this case, just send the things to the Hucha clan. I, Xu Kun, will die and I don't need the so-called high-level protection." , If he can't tolerate me in the future, then it would be better for me, Xu Kun, to bleed the human race than suffer this humiliation!"
After saying that, Xu Kun waved his sleeves and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Qian Manlou stopped him in panic.
Xu Kun looked ugly and said: "Master Qian, is there anything else you can do?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Qian Manlou's face. After hesitating for a long time, he felt a little ashamed to speak.
"If Mr. Qian has nothing to do, then please forgive me for not disturbing me!"
"Stand right there!" Qian Manlou said with a helpless look on his face as he stamped his feet.
Xu Kun's back was straight and he didn't say a word.
"You... what you just said was that you earned this thing for the human race?" Qian Manlou asked.
Xu Kun slowly turned around and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why am I sending these three melons and two dates?"
Qian Manlou's chest felt tight and he almost choked on Xu Kun's words!
"Not for personal gain?"
Xu Kun's expression became even brighter: "Are you saying that I, Xu Kun, don't know the laws of the human race?"
"Master Qian, do you still have any questions?"
"If there's no problem, I'll leave!"
"Hey, my little ancestor, wait a minute!" Qian Manlou moved his short legs and grabbed Xu Kun.
"It's your brother Qian who treats a gentleman with a villain's heart. Look at this, I thought..."
Xu Kun's face gradually calmed down, and he looked at Qian Manlou and said: "I finally understand. It turns out that Master Qian and the senior leaders of my human race thought that I, Xu Kun, was doing it for my own selfish interests and did not hesitate to let go of other talented people to raise tigers. To cause trouble?”
Qian Manlou looked embarrassed, and nodded when facing Xu Kun's question.
Xu Kun snorted coldly and shook off Qian Manlou's arm.
"Hey, Kundi, my biological brother, he is my brother and I have wronged you!"
"You have been wronged!"
Xu Kun looked at Qian Manlou and said calmly: "I am not aggrieved. I have nothing to be aggrieved about. I am now a human sinner who has fornicated with foreign races and sought personal gain. What qualifications do I have to be aggrieved?"
"Even if I feel wronged, who cares?"
Qian Manlou looked embarrassed.
"When I was scoring several SSSS levels for the human race, where were these so-called high-level officials?"
"When I was forced to sacrifice my life by Ao Guang and Xuan Shiba, where were the top leaders of my human race?"
"When I was being chased by three warrior-level, one warrior-level, and one war-king-level warriors, where were the top leaders of my human race?"
Xu Kun's anger continued to rise, and he said emotionally: "I am also a member of the human race, and I am also an ordinary person who remembers the hardships of our ancestors in starting a business and the difficulties of establishing a career. I may not say that I have made great contributions to the human race, but at least I am not a traitor. !”
"When you began to maliciously speculate on my intentions before the matter was clarified, did you consider my feelings?"
"Even if the top leaders of my human race are all blind and have forgotten my contribution, what kind of person I am, Xu Kun, you, Master Qian, cannot forget!"
Qian Manlou lowered his head guiltily, thinking that although Xu Kun was only at level 4 now, the things he had provided and the contributions he had made to the human race made even him feel ashamed!
"I would rather be forced to death by a strong man from another clan, be hacked to death by a traitor, or be killed by the guarding boss on the third floor. I will not accept your distrust of me!"
"Kundi, I..."
