Chapter 371 Security and Retirement

After resting for a long time, Zhuo Yanran also came in the evening. After seeing Zhao Zangming, he naturally blamed him, but he was still very happy to see his son safe and sound.

The two siblings had already talked and decided not to tell their mother the truth to avoid unnecessary worries.

after dinner.

Zhao Zangming suddenly said: "Mom, I still want to enter the star realm."

"Why don't you give up?" Zhuo Yanran immediately expressed his disagreement, but obviously not as determined as before.

"When my brother-in-law found me in Olympia, he said that you were worried, so I came back to tell you." Zhao Zangming's face was serious, "I am already an adult, and I don't want to be a waste on earth all my life. My sister also support me."

Zhuo Yanran looked at her daughter.

Zhao Manying nodded, "Zang Ming's strength is enough. Many aliens enter the star realm just after reaching the intermediate level."

This was decided after the three people discussed it.

Shi Hongyi probably didn't know that Zhao Cangming had escaped from trouble, and the two sides couldn't completely break up for the time being. It would be a good way to let Zhao Cangming escape in the astral realm and grow at the same time.

"When my brother-in-law entered the star realm, he was still a junior alien." Zhao Zangming saw that his mother was a little moved and continued to persuade.

"Can you compare to Starfire?"

Zhuo Yanran glanced at Ji Xinghuo and asked, "Xinghuo, do you think it's appropriate to enter the star realm anonymously?"

"Of course there is no problem." Ji Xinghuo replied, "Zang Ming will not be alone. I am going to call a few friends, all experienced and powerful strangers, to form a team and lead Zang Ming."

"Even Xinghuo said that, then I'm relieved." Zhuo Yanran knew that she couldn't stop it, and sighed: "Then you go ahead."

Zhao Cangming was overjoyed.

Zhao Manying added: "Mom, I'm going to retire from the league and focus on becoming a legend. I'll move in with you."

"Live with me?" Zhuo Yanran's expression was startled.

My daughter has been living independently since she became an adult. Now she has a boyfriend. Even if she retires, how can she live with her again?

Although she was very happy, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.

There were so many things that happened in the past two days, and what was said on the news, that Zhuo Yanran always felt that his children were hiding something from him.

She asked strangely: "You live with Ji Xinghuo, what about Xinghuo?" She knew that her daughter was living with Ji Xinghuo.

"Auntie, I will enter the star realm again soon." Ji Xinghuo explained.

Zhao Manying moved to Zhuo Yanran's house, naturally to protect her mother, but she couldn't be with her all the time and had to go to the Ethereum Research Institute. Therefore, Ji Xinghuo planned to hire bodyguards. In addition to protecting Zhuo Yanran, he also had to protect his own family. stand up.

Zhuo Yanran frowned, "You are hiding something from me."

As the boss of a clothing plaza company with dozens of employees, she is certainly not that easy to hide.

Zhao Manying and Ji Xinghuo looked at each other.

"Someone wants to do something bad to us..." Zhao Manying said, telling her something based on what he said before.

But Shi Hongyi and the real cause of her husband's death were not mentioned.

They want to wait until revenge.

In fact, Ji Xinghuo meant that it would be best to speak directly, but the two siblings believed that Zhuo Yanran was just an ordinary person and did not want her to be worried all day long.

He didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs.

After listening, Zhuo Yanran still had doubts, but he accepted it.

Ji Xinghuo left Zhao Manying's home alone, came to a high-end apartment a few kilometers away, and entered it.

"welcome!"

An Yitian opened the door with a smile on his face.

"Senior An." Ji Xinghuo said politely, "Sorry to bother you." Then he followed An Yitian into the living room.

The top two floors of this apartment building were bought by the An family brothers and sisters as their home. Neither of them were married, they were on the same level, but An Zhisu was also waiting at An Yitian's house at this time.

"I was surprised to receive your call." After sitting down, An Yitian said: "I saw on the Internet yesterday that you had a conflict with the great magician. What happened?"

"That's what I came here for today."

Ji Xinghuo got straight to the point, "Shi Hongyi and I have already had a feud, the kind that would never end until death, but we were suppressed by the head of state, and we will have to end it sooner or later."

"so serious!"

An Yitian was shocked, and An Zhisu also had a solemn expression.

"It is not convenient to disclose the specific situation at the moment." Ji Xinghuo continued, "I am worried that Shi Hongyi will attack me and Manying's family, so I want to hire Senior An to protect the safety of my family. The price is easy to negotiate."

There are many reasons why he came to see the An family brothers and sisters.

First, the two are powerful, ranked 24th and 25th on the legend list respectively, and are more than enough to protect their families;

Second, the relationship is good, their background has been checked beforehand, and they are trustworthy;

The third is that the An family brothers and sisters were originally in this industry. They founded a world-leading private security company with four to five hundred people under their command, many of whom were legendary and powerful, with high reputation and professionalism.

An Yitian felt a little hesitant.

Ji Xinghuo immediately noticed his worries and said, "I can understand if Senior An is worried about becoming enemies with Shi Hongyi."

"The name of the Great Magician is too loud." An Yitian looked confused, "He is still the richest man in the country, and his connections and influence are top-notch. Although I am a legend, I dare not go against the Great Magician..."

Agreeing to Ji Xinghuo's employment was tantamount to taking sides between the two parties.

When there is a conflict, he is Shi Hongyi's enemy.

Although Ji Xinghuo is also very strong and will definitely achieve more than Shi Hongyi in the future, An Yitian wants to have a good relationship with him, but it is too dangerous.

"Senior An, you are just the protection force on the surface." Ji Xinghuo said with a smile.

An Yitian asked quickly: "Who else?"

"Head of State."

Ji Xinghuo answered softly.

An Yitian's expression suddenly became very interesting, and An Zhisu, who had been silent beside him, was also moved.

These two words mean too much.

"I have the support of the head of state, but we can't take down Shi Hongyi directly without evidence." Ji Xinghuo said truthfully, "After all, this is a personal grudge, and the head of state cannot use the power of the country to protect my family, but it does not affect the secret protection."

And doing so will also make Shi Hongyi realize that the head of state has set his sights on him.

"Head of State..."

An Yitian exhaled, still shocked in his heart.

In the Asia-Pacific Community, the head of state is the sky. If Ji Xinghuo is not bluffing, then even if Shi Hongyi is the richest man and the king of heaven, he will not escape the fate of destruction.

Ji Xinghuo took out two more super-limited alien species and placed them on the coffee table, immediately attracting the attention of the two people, and said: "If Senior An agrees, these two alien species will be the deposit."

"What alien species?" An Yitian asked curiously.

"Ice Sealed Absolute Prison and Blazing Flame Starfire."

Ji Xinghuo smiled. An Yitian was the "Ice Lord". Like the Danren Ice Lord who was killed on the bloody plateau, he needed the "Ice Sealed Absolute Prison" of the Thousand-foot Ice Scorpion and kept it until now.

The Flame Starfire was the prize of the Global Marathon, which was very consistent with An Zhisu's "Fire Maniac" profession.

Sure enough, both the brother and sister were moved.

An Yitian picked up the ice crystal-shaped alien species, felt the vitality in it, and said happily: "It's really the Ice Sealed Absolute Prison. I haven't encountered it for so many years. I didn't expect it to be delivered directly to me."

An Zhisu also observed the "Blazing Flame Starfire", and it was difficult to hide the satisfaction in his eyes.

Ji Xinghuo smiled.

It is difficult for any alien to refuse an alien that matches him/her, which greatly improves his/her strength.

This is the greatest manifestation of sincerity.

An Yitian thought for a long time and finally nodded and said, "We accept it!"

"Don't worry, Senior An, I have another condition." Ji Xinghuo said, "I need the highest level of security. In addition to the professional bodyguard team's 24-hour personal protection, the two seniors must also be on standby at all times and cannot be away."

"That's no problem, but the price..." An Yitian had some concerns, they also need to practice.

Ji Xinghuo said directly: "I will pay with ether crystals, 500 ether crystals per year, starting from two years."

Both the brother and sister were shocked.

Five hundred ether crystals are equal to 10 billion Asian dollars, which is almost the same as their net worth, but 10 billion Asian dollars can't buy 500 ether crystals.

Two years in exchange for this wealth, and there are also super-limit aliens, making a lot of money!

"Let's sign the contract now."

An Yitian said immediately.

The security contract was quickly drafted and the detailed terms were agreed upon. Ji Xinghuo signed after confirming that there were no problems.

According to Ji Xinghuo's idea, An Yitian had to protect the two families, mainly his own villa. An Yitian would lead a team of bodyguards to establish a defense system and provide personal protection for each brother and sister.

An Zhisu led another team to garrison Zhao Manying's home to protect the mother and daughter, and the two sides would take care of each other.

After signing, Ji Xinghuo was relieved.

The An brothers and sisters are very powerful. Unless the king takes action personally, this will cause a lot of noise.

In China, even Shi Hongyi himself dared not mess around and could only do things secretly.

There are also people sent by the head of state to keep an eye on them, which is enough to ensure the safety of the family.

An Yitian took action immediately.

Ji Xinghuo returned to his home in Qinling Mountains. His brothers and sisters were all there. He told them about the security and prepared them mentally.

The whole family was scared, but they could only accept it.

"Second brother." Ji Xinghuo said to Zhong Ming, "Do you want to enter the star realm?"

"Me?" Zhong Ming was stunned.

"You are already a high-level alien, and your strength is strong enough. It's time to enter the star realm. The upper limit of the competition alien is still not enough. In the end, you have to enter the star realm. It's better to accumulate experience in advance." Ji Xinghuo said.

Ming Zhong was very tempted. In fact, he had considered it himself, "But my contract with the club..."

"Breach of contract, I'll pay the penalty."

Ji Xinghuo thought about it. The club that his second brother signed with was only in the second division league. The penalty was more than 100 million, which was just a small amount of money.

Reducing the number of family members left on Earth can also reduce some security pressure.

If it weren't for the fact that the eldest sister's strength was too weak, Ji Xinghuo would even want to bring her into the star realm less than half a year after becoming an alien.

"Okay!" Zhong Ming did not hesitate, "I'll follow your arrangement."

Ye Dongyun and the other two were envious.

Wang Zizhen immediately stood up, "I'm going to exercise, and the training volume today will be doubled!"

"I'll go too!" Liang Qiu Feiyan also said.

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but laugh. This can stimulate the two of them to work hard, which is not bad.

The next morning.

An explosive piece of news made the global headlines, "Sword Fairy" Zhao Manying announced her retirement!

Countless people flocked to Zhao Manying's social platform and saw her post a video telling fans that she no longer had any aspirations in the Super League, and that she had no regrets in her career, and decided to retire for a higher ideal.

Fans around the world were stunned.

Then he expressed his incomprehension. Although Jianxian is a ten-time champion with many honors, she is only on par with Jeffrey, the most successful competitor in history.

As long as she wins another championship, she will be able to sit firmly in the first place!

Next month, the new International Invitational Tournament will begin. Even if she retires a month later, this championship is stable.

Moreover, her contract with the club still has two years.

Many fans left messages, hoping that Zhao Manying can win another championship, and it would be best if she retires after the contract expires.

Some people also guessed that Zhao Manying had a conflict with the club.

However, Zhao Manying did not respond.

Half an hour after she announced her retirement, the Emperor Star Club issued a notice stating that Zhao Manying did not discuss retirement with the club in advance, and would pursue her legal responsibility in accordance with the terms of the contract.

This is equivalent to tearing the face.

A minute later, Zhao Manying only replied on the social platform: I will pay the liquidated damages according to the terms, please communicate with my legal team.

Suddenly, the entire network was in an uproar, and public opinion was surging.

Most fans pointed the finger at the Emperor Star Club, but some people also thought that Zhao Manying was irresponsible and betrayed the club and the audience.

All major platforms and media reported endlessly, vying to interview the parties involved.

But Zhao Manying refused.

She completely blocked social media and devoted herself to cultivation.

It was not until a week later that the heat brought by Zhao Manying's retirement gradually subsided, and most fans accepted this fact.

The bodyguard team of An Yitian and his sister was also in place.

The time entered 2227.

After the New Year's Day holiday, Ji Xinghuo, Zhong Ming, and Zhao Zangming came to the Chaka Star Gate Fortress together.

While queuing in front of the star gate, Ji Xinghuo glanced at Zhong Ming, "Second brother is nervous?"

"A little."

Zhong Ming put on light armor and carried a bag. He was a newcomer who entered the star world for the first time. Although he had made up a lot of knowledge about star world adventures in the past few days, and Ji Xinghuo was with him, he was still nervous when he stood in front of the star gate.

Ji Xinghuo seemed to see himself a few years ago, and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm here."

"That's right."

Zhao Zangming next to him was much more relaxed, "Brother-in-law is leading us, what are you afraid of?"

"We can't all rely on..." Zhong Ming lowered the word "Xinghuo", "He can't always team up with us, sooner or later he will learn to be independent."

Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.

In terms of mentality, the second brother was obviously more prepared.

"It's our turn."

The three entered the star gate, and their vision returned to normal after being distorted. They had already arrived at the Star Gate Square of Olympia. At this time, the star world was at night, and they could see the starry sky and the brilliant reflection of the Milky Way when they looked up.

Zhong Ming looked at the starry sky and came back to his senses after a long time.

"Follow me."

Ji Xinghuo noticed the eyes in the dark, including foreign kings, legendary strongmen, and "Champion Marquis" Huo Keji.

He didn't say hello to Huo Keji, and took the two of them out of the square.

All the way to the Qinghao Street Villa, there were already four people inside. Jiangnan Caiyi pushed the door open and said in surprise: "Xinghuo Jun is here!"

"Caiyi."

Ji Xinghuo entered the living room and saw the other three people.

Chi Zhonglin, Lu Yunhai and Zhuoligetu.

It was Ji Xinghuo's idea to form a hunting team this time. They are all his family and friends. However, he will not stay for too long. He will take his second brother and Zangming for a while, and he will leave after they are familiar with the star realm.
