Chapter 1577 Warning to Latecomers (First Update)
Mr. Qiao’s grandfather was a real suicide—the kind that left a will.
He was only 220 years old, still in his prime, and his career was on the rise.
But he did commit suicide, and the will he left behind said that he could not get two magic weapons together.
His only hope was that Digital Phantom would let his family go because he was sensible.
A senior official ended his life in this way, and used his death to show who was putting pressure on him.
The government really couldn’t sit back and watch. When did Digital Phantom become so powerful?
However, it was quite difficult to find Digital Phantom for investigation.
The only place where the team could be contacted directly was the Dawn Base on a desolate planet in the Thorn Star Region.
But this base was strictly guarded by the military, and it was not easy for the government to get close.
Some investigators carefully raised objections: committing suicide for two magic weapons... It felt a bit illogical.
The deceased was in a high position and had a lot of wealth. Theoretically, it was not difficult to get two magic tools.
Even if one magic tool costs 2 trillion, 5 trillion is enough to get two.
So, was there any other reason for his death? It is even possible... that he blamed Digital Phantom for his death?
Don't think this speculation is outrageous. Even more outrageous things have happened in the history of the empire.
But soon, the investigators learned the exact news from other channels: the deceased really tried to buy a magic tool.
Unfortunately, no matter how much money he paid or how many promises he made, no one was willing to sell it to him.
There are two main reasons: First, he offended Digital Phantom, and selling him a magic tool might annoy that team.
Second, magic tools are not only in high demand in the current market, but the key is that if you need Digital Phantom, this thing is particularly useful.
In case you accidentally offend this team without knowing it, this is also a good thing that can save your life.
So regardless of whether there are magic weapons or not, when faced with the deceased's purchase, the relevant people all said that my family does not have such treasures.
In addition, through the investigation of the deceased's property, it was found that the family's assets were... quite surprising.
The specific amount of money, then keep it confidential.
After all, he has not worked in the Mining Management Department for too long, and he has accumulated such a large amount of assets. It is not good to spread it out.
There is no doubt that the deceased does have enough financial resources. If there is a market for magic weapons, it is not a problem to buy three pieces.
Not long after, Qu Jianlei also learned about the news. He was a little confused: What did Jing Yuexin do?
Since ancient times, the only way to die is to die. What kind of pressure can force a senior official to commit suicide?
However, despite the doubts, he still chose to fully trust his teammates.
A day later, Jing Yuexin teleported back and told about her deeds.
It turned out that after the family of Mr. Qiao was exterminated, his grandfather found that it was an execution-style execution and realized that the matter was not over yet.
While asking someone to contact Shui Xisheng to clarify, he also tried his best to contact Jing Yuexin and Duogan's people.
These two are the main members of Digital Phantom. If they can be persuaded, it should be effective.
After Jing Yuexin got the news, she directly sent back the message: Two magic weapons, no less!
And as the backer of Mr. Qiao, his grandfather could not be spared - Digital Phantom will definitely kill you!
At most, it is a decent death, not the kind of execution.
Jing Yuexin pointed out directly that Mr. Qiao's behavior was too bad, and Digital Phantom would not let him go easily.
In the final analysis, it is to set a model for later generations to learn from.
As a result, the person was decisive and committed suicide directly, and... did not hand over the magic weapon.
However, Jing Yuexin did not give up, and sent someone to notify the family of the deceased.
Even if the person is dead, the account cannot be rotten!
In view of the fact that the person committed suicide and it is indeed difficult to collect the magic weapon, Jing Yuexin's request is a discount.
She gave the other party a month to deliver 4 trillion to Shui Xisheng, and the matter was over.
Otherwise, Digital Phantom would not let the other party go.
Jing Yuexin didn't think her request was excessive - if someone did something wrong, they couldn't just let the account go.
And the amount she asked for didn't drain the other party's family, so she was very measured.
Qu Jianlei didn't have much objection to her decision.
He just said with a smile, "Fortunately you didn't drain his family's funds, otherwise the government would have to deal with us."
Jing Yuexin replied indifferently, "I have to leave some for other vultures."
There are too many examples of a whale falling and everything growing. When the pillar of a family falls, it will inevitably attract vultures to share the food.
If someone participates in dealing with this family, the behavior of Digital Phantom will not be so eye-catching.
And after this family was besieged, it is basically impossible for them to make a comeback.
Not to mention whether Digital Phantom cares about future revenge with its strength.
Even if the other family has a good seedling, they don't need to take action at all.
Those forces that participate in sharing the food will suppress it.
Although Jing Yuexin's move this time was ruthless, she did consider the possible hidden dangers in the future.
Not long after, the family began to sell off various assets at a low price, and also spread the word that they were actively raising compensation.
In the eyes of ordinary imperial people, the old man committed suicide and had to pay compensation to the enemy. There is really no more humiliating thing than this.
However, for most of the powerful people in the Core Eight Stars, blood and other things are really not worth mentioning.
If you have been pampered for a long time, you will naturally become greedy for life and afraid of death. Moreover, the core circle talks about the people who understand the current affairs as heroes.
They also realized that after the old man's death, most of the family property would not be able to be saved.
But again, if you can avoid dying, who would be willing to die?
Even if there is a strong-blooded master, he would not dare to act recklessly - a momentary impulse may ruin the life of the entire family.
The old man chose to commit suicide. Was his ultimate goal also to save his family?
Moreover, even if all their family wealth is spent, the remaining bits and pieces can ensure that they live a more prosperous life than most people.
Therefore, they chose to spread the news, which could be regarded as a complete admission of defeat, and suppressed the follow-up actions of Digital Phantom from public opinion.
After learning this news, other forces operating private mines also knew what to do.
In the evening of that day, Kerry Supreme came to the Shui Group and asked to see the young master of the Shui Group.
Shui Xisheng didn't have a good impression of this guy, but he was a supreme leader after all, right? Still have to show off.
Kerry did not hesitate this time and said straight to the point that a powerful force had entrusted him to come to discuss the matter of withdrawing from the mine.
The other party hopes to directly transfer the shares of the mine to Digital Phantom.
You can even refund all the energy stones mined before, just to let it go.
As for the speaking device? That's really not true - that person's suicide has shown that this thing is too scarce and you can't even buy it.
Although Shui Xisheng was authorized, he felt that he had better ask for permission when it came to the ownership of the energy stone mine.
After all, Digital Phantom's thirst for energy blocks is well known.
After Qu Jianlei heard about it, he said that he did not want the energy stone - it was not that there was no shortage, but that it could not be obtained in this way.
Otherwise, what's the difference between them and these blood-sucking worms lying on the empire?
Qu Jianlei said that it was not that he did not pay taxes, but that the original energy mines were discovered independently by him.
And they mined those energy stone mines for their own use.
As for later, they got some energy stone mines by mistake, there were other reasons.
But now the energy stone mine that the other party wants to hand over was obtained by poaching the corners of the empire. We don't bother to do such a thing.
After receiving this feedback, Kerry sighed helplessly, "Can I talk to that person directly?"
Shui Xisheng shook his head simply, "Even if I want to see you, it depends on your mood. I'd better prepare the magic weapon."
"Magic weapon..." Kerry smiled bitterly, "Did Young Master Shui ask about the Rhodiola rosea?"
Shui Xisheng shook his head again, and then replied in a deep voice, "My responsibility is to filter out useless information, please forgive me."
He believed that the name proposed by the other party might have a certain reason, but this was not enough for him to report this information.
In the final analysis, the other party is still a bit pretentious. If he can tell the whole story, he will consider it comprehensively.
Kerry shook his head dumbfounded, "This is a very important question."
Shui Xisheng didn't react at all, just looked at the other party indifferently.
"Okay," Kerry sighed helplessly, "My client has nothing to do with the Digital Phantom."
"Currently, brother and sister Kross and Corona are working for my client."
"Koros, Corona?" Shui Xisheng frowned, "Who are these two people?"
"Master Jing once rescued me," Kerry replied solemnly, "He also worked under him for a period of time."
After all, he didn't dare to call Jing Yuexin by her name.
"Is that so?" Shui Xisheng nodded thoughtfully. This news is indeed worth contacting the boss.
When Qu Jianlei heard these two names, he had an impression that the team's one-legged bronze man came from these two brothers.
He even remembered that Corona had a very rare poison attribute.
So he looked at Jing Yuexin, "Didn't these brothers and sisters come under your control?"
Jing Yuexin thought for a moment and answered, "They were injured at the time, and they did it for a while afterwards."
"Later on, I didn't pay attention...that sister has a poison attribute, right?"
Qu Jianlei didn't think that the brother and sister could be regarded as his own family. They just had some connections and there was no need to consider them.
But the name Rhodiola Rosea really involves some cause and effect.
He had no intention of picking up the vest again, and just said, "Ask the other party why he mentioned this name?"
Kerry replied, "Let me mention a name...Rhine! There is also a noun: asylum card!"
