Chapter 995 Pay the Bill

There was dead silence in the conference room of Luming Pavilion.

Not only Nan Nan and the subordinates behind him, but also other participants widened their eyes in shock, and a wave of cold air could not help but rise on the back of their heads.

It seems like someone drove a car and robbed the food reserves of the Yizhou Giant Panda Base...

The big tengu can hardly be called a good guy.

Originally, he thought he would see quarrels and infighting today, but unexpectedly, Huai Shi skipped all the steps and went to a complete liquidation.

Moreover, Lu Ming Guan was required to come and do it himself and give Huai Shi the whole job of killing his own people!

Is this still possible?

This is no longer a show of shame, but a direct loss of power and humiliation to the country.

If Nanfang dares to nod, let alone others, the people below will probably start singing "Miluo Yuanshui Chaoshanbo", and maybe God will punish his whole family.

For a moment, he froze, and his original motion of bowing his head in submission stopped in place.

Huai Shi seemed to be aware of the eyes behind Nan Nan that were about to burst out with anger, and nodded clearly: "Indeed, it would be too merciless to let Mr. Nan Nan kill his subordinates..."

"Please show me your noble hand."

Nan Nan's expression twitched violently, he lowered his head stiffly, and forced a smile to please. Asking for a high price, paying back the money on the ground, the temporary embarrassment is nothing, as long as everything can be wiped out, it will be easy to talk about.

"That's not impossible."

Huai Shi glanced at the old man who was bowing his head and told him: "But you have to express your apology, Mr. Nanfang. You are so condescending, I thought I did something wrong..."

"..."

Nan Nan lowered his head, stiffened for a long time, and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

But Huai Shi seemed not to have heard it.

He just turned around in confusion and looked at the people around him: "I don't know much about it. Is this how Yingzhou people apologize? Why is it different from what I heard..."

Dead silence, long dead silence.

Nan Nan seemed to be petrified, the veins on the back of his hands burst out, and he clutched the robe on his knees tightly. After a long while, he slowly stood up and knelt on the ground amidst the cries of grief and anger from his subordinates.

He closed his eyes.

Put your hands on the ground and lower your head.

Earth seat.

"Please, forgive me."

In this conference room, the only sound was the teacup falling to the floor, which was so harsh.

All the participants looked at each other in shock, never expecting to see such a spectacle, and even the Daitengu's drink leaked from the corners of his mouth. He has never seen this battle in his old age...

Under the sunshine outside the window, Huai Shi sat on a chair, lowered his head, overlooking the figure kneeling to apologize.

Without any pride or ridicule.

Calm as always.

Just nod.

"Very good. Now that I've acknowledged my mistake, I don't need to say anything else." He pressed Nan Nan's shoulder and comforted him, "Just follow the traditions of Yingzhou -"

As he spoke, he reached out behind him.

Yuan Yuan took a step forward and handed over the gift brought by Huai Shi.

A slender wooden box with elegant workmanship and exquisite decoration. When opened, the brocade laid inside is revealed, as well as a pocket knife forged by Huai Shi himself.

Special alchemical steel from the Damba smelter is selected, inlaid with gold and jade, and the pure white shark skin is spotless.

It is indeed the best choice for home travel and gifts for relatives and friends.

At this moment, it was delivered to Nan Nan's dull face.

Accompanied by Huai Shi's orders.

"—Have seppuku, Mr. Nanbu."

The silence was broken. Someone slapped the table angrily, stood up, and wanted to scold him, but the moment Huai Shi raised his head and looked over, he was frozen by the cold gaze.

Not ferocious, not angry, just calm, like a dark abyss, reflecting every trembling soul and freezing the words he wanted to say.

He froze in place, not daring to move.

"how?"

Huai Shi asked, "Is something wrong?"

No one responded.

Ever since he stepped into this conference room, the murderous intention brewing in his chest had no longer been concealed. It came out from his stern look, warning everyone who dared to interrupt.

Whoever touches it will die!

If he comes here today, someone must die. Otherwise, are you here just to show off and teach others about kindness and forgiveness?

The truth has already been explained.

Now it’s time to settle accounts!

Even if it's every penny, every penny...

Huaishi lowered her head, overlooking the opponent at her feet, and warned in a cold voice: "Master Nanfang, the time has come to show your warrior character, don't let people down!"

"me……"

Nan Nan stared blankly at the sword in front of him, his lips pursed, unable to make a sound.

He wanted to ask Huai Shi if he was crazy. Do you want to cause a war? But when he saw those eyes, he understood the answer.

These lunatics leave no room at all!

I won't give him any other choice...

Either he dies here today, or both sides start an all-out war,

But when he turned around blankly and looked behind him, he found that there was silence, no voice, and no one even stood up to defend him.

There is only the indifferent overlooking from the deepest part of Luming Pavilion.

He finally realized it and smiled bitterly.

Now that things have happened, what else can be said?

In addition, is there any way to avoid this unjust war caused by the Yingzhou genealogy, and is there any way to preserve one's own family?

He closed his eyes, reached out, took the sword in Huai Shi's hand, and drew the sword out of its sheath.

The sharp blade reflected the decaying face, and he bit it between his teeth. Then, he pulled open the skirt of his clothes with both hands, exposing his chest and abdomen.

Sit upright.

The sound of the blade stabbing down was so low that everyone's eyelids jumped wildly. Along with the sound of cutting across, viscous liquid flowed out.

"Come!"

Nan Nan straightened his body, raised his head, and glared at Huai Shi.

Huai Shi remained indifferent and just waved his hand.

Yuan Yuan stepped out behind him, pulled out his heavy long sword, and stepped past. The moment he passed by, a perfect arc appeared from the sky.

The majestic sound like the world turning spreads from the sword.

The solemn iron light cut off the last bond.

It illuminated his cloudy pupils.

That fleeting light is so beautiful and thrilling.

"It's so beautiful..."

Nan Nan admired softly, his old body lying on the ground, making no sound anymore.

Only the blood spread silently.

There was dead silence.

Yuan Yuan moved his wrist slightly to shake off the blood, sheathed the sword into the box, and returned behind the teacher.

Her work was done.

For a long time, in the silence where only heavy breathing was left, Huai Shi waved his hand and wiped away the blood drops on his sleeves, and finally looked away from the ground.

There was no wild laughter, no cold contempt.

Just calm.

Looking back, I looked down at those expressions that were either dull or sad and angry.

"Thanks to everyone's misplaced love, you have put so many expectations on me that I shouldn't have. So much so that you always want to teach me some principles of life..."

He said softly, "Maybe you think I am the same as you, but in fact, I am different from you. I have never wanted to play games with you.

There are more important things in this world and work worth investing in, and unfortunately, you are not included in them. I hope everyone can take care of themselves. "

"Finally, I wish you all a long life."

Huai Shi stood up, held her collar, and politely nodded goodbye: "I'm sorry to be with you."

Just like that, he stepped over the corpse on the ground, opened the door and left.

The decayed ancient door closed heavily behind him, like thunder.

Passing through the crowd gathered in front of the door, stepping down the steps, the journey was smooth.

When the dark car disappeared at the end of the mountain, the huge sight sign covering the entire Luming Pavilion gradually became transparent and disappeared without a trace in the sky.

The same afternoon, bordering London, resting area inside the Astronomical Society headquarters.

Under the clouds, drizzle continued.

"It's raining again. I can't get used to this weather no matter how long it takes."

Russell sighed softly, looked away from the window, pulled out a chair in the cafe, and said to the waiter: "Black tea, stronger, and a tiramisu, thank you."

The waiter nodded and left.

On the other side of the table, the man reading the newspaper raised his eyes and looked over: "Mr. Russell, there are many empty tables here."

"Just join in, it doesn't matter, it just looks lively."

Russell smiled, full of enthusiasm, but his gaze always fell on the other person's throat - the ruptured scar, "Mr. René, I always feel that we should enhance our friendship to avoid some misunderstandings."

He paused and his smile turned mocking: "Lest some people...ask for trouble."

Rene looked at Russell coldly for a moment, folded the newspaper in his hand, and just said: "If I were you, I should be prepared to face the question meeting instead of coming to show off my power to others. Yingzhou is already halfway there A serious protest and condemnation was submitted to the central decision-making room hours ago."

"It doesn't matter, I submitted it too, and I was fifteen minutes ahead of them."

Russell shrugged nonchalantly and scooped up a spoonful of dessert: "Besides, there are illegal operations by the Yingzhou Administration Bureau, and the decision-making room will definitely give me an explanation... I hope you are also prepared to face the inquiry meeting.

Hey, do you think we should get together when the time comes, maybe copy each other's papers or something? I tell you, it will be very happy..."

René frowned and looked at him indifferently for a long time before slowly saying: "The matters of the Yingzhou branch are decided privately by subordinates and have nothing to do with me."

"The point is, this is 'your' subordinate, right?"

Russell sighed softly: "You really lived up to your Yingzhou surname, Minister Rene, is this caused by blood, or is it a convergence of styles... When faced with requests for instructions, you kept silent and pretended to be profound, and then asked your subordinates to It’s really not a good habit to try to figure it out and let people take the blame when something goes wrong, you should be more careful.”

"Isn't it more important to pay attention to your Sword of Disaster, which has enemies on all sides?" Rene sneered and retorted, "You will never have friends in anything, Russell."

"The Utopia never needs such useless friends, it only needs their obedience."

Russell spread his hands mockingly, "You see, this is the difference between us. You always think that everyone is harmonious, holding hands and living freely in a beautiful world... What kind of second-hand spiny ape is this? Isn't it Asian? Has Sashi gone too far?

Mistakes will never correct themselves, you always need to help in the middle... In this way, the garbage will roll back into the trash can.

You have just killed one person, and you are screaming like a chicken in a slaughterhouse. But if necessary, you should kill more. Please don't think that that guy Huai Shi is easy to talk to, just think that we are a charity organization, okay? "

"Issuing yellow pages without approval, forcing the decision-making of the bureau, and breaking into the headquarters of Yingzhou Genealogy and forcing an important minister to commit suicide... This has affected the stability of the current situation."

Rene reminded in a cold voice: "I hope you can understand the seriousness of the matter, Russell, the decision-making room will not play house with you."

"As an educator, I have to say that this is really a thought-provoking story that can be written into a textbook - it vividly tells us a truth."

Russell looked at him and said pitifully, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished."

"Are you threatening me?" Rene frowned.

"Of course not, it's just a friendly reminder." Russell shrugged, "After all, Danbo is there, and we will need to live in harmony for a long time in the future."

"I hope so."

Rene picked up the coffee, drank it in one gulp, and waved to the waiter: "Pay the bill."

"Please sign here, sir." The waiter brought the bill.

"Ah, let me do it."

Russell reached out enthusiastically, took the pen out of Rene's hand, and then stabbed it into his neck very smoothly.

puff.

A soft sound.

Amidst the piercing screams of the waiter, Rene's eyes widened, and he lowered his head with difficulty, and saw the pen that was submerged in him, and the palm holding the pen.

So stable.

Blood spurted out.

Then, severe pain struck!

"Just take it as a small lesson, Mr. René."

Russell released his palm, picked up the napkin, and carefully wiped the blood on his fingertips: "I think about it, if there is any truth in this story that children should remember, it should be..."

He bent down and whispered in René's ear:

"——No one should fucking touch my students, don't even think about it!"

"Ho...ho..."

Rene was lying on the table, twitching violently, but no matter how he called, no healing light fell from the sky, as if he had been forgotten.

Except for the waiter who was slumped on the ground, no one even noticed!

He opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but he could only cough vaguely. He coughed up a large amount of blood on the pure white tablecloth. The coffee cup fell to the ground, and the sound of breaking was so clear.

Russell, on the other hand, just looked down quietly.

She let the spasmodic palm keep pulling her, watching him suffocating in her own blood bit by bit, her face expressionless.

After a long time, he slowly stretched out his hand, pulled out the pen, and threw it casually in front of his eyes.

Stained with blood.

The lie was lifted, and this messy corner finally returned to the coffee shop, triggering a look of astonishment and shouts. The healing light finally came down, pulling Rene out of the suffocating situation and gasping for breath. So embarrassed.

"Now--"

Russell handed over the bill, "You can pay the bill."
