Witch Wind

Chapter 53 Amazing Paintings
It was past dusk, almost seven o'clock.

Xing Tianli and Big Black Dog went out together, and under the guidance of the hotel maid, they arrived at the north wing where the cocktail party was held.

There were five or six cocktail parties or banquets being held simultaneously in the entire annex building.

The cocktail party that Xing Tianli was going to attend was held in the banquet hall on the third floor of the annex building. The entire third floor was booked by Maria.

The staircase leading to the third floor was guarded by two middle-aged men with gray hair, gray eyes, thin bodies, and extremely tough and fierce looks. They stared at everyone passing by in the corridor with expressionless faces. The strong sense of oppression that kept strangers away scared many people from passing by the staircase.

The hotel maid showed an iron-gray invitation card forged from matte metal. Then, Xing Tianli went up the stairs smoothly between the two middle-aged men.

When Xing Tianli and the big black dog passed by the two middle-aged men, they looked at each other meaningfully.

There's something wrong with these two guys. Like Maria, they are not decent people!
The power of Xing Tianli's soul quickly swept over the two people. The skin, flesh, bones, internal organs, and even bone marrow and blood were all in normal condition, but the physiological functions were nearly a hundred times stronger than those of normal people.

They are similar to "regular people", the only difference is that their brain capacity is smaller than that of "regular people", and the volume of their brain is only about 60% of that of normal people. However, their brain texture is denser, and there is a strong bioelectric current flowing in the brain. In the core of their brain, there is a thumb-sized cube.

The density is extremely high and the electrical energy it contains is extremely high.

Occasionally, a bioelectric current surged, and the flash of light emitted by this translucent iron-gray cube turned the entire brains of the two middle-aged men into light bulbs.

not human.

At least, not a serious person.

"Poor Taoist master, he didn't have much education back then!" Xing Tianli felt secretly resentful. He also received higher education in his previous life, but he was a liberal arts student. He wrote countless prose and poems about love and romance, but he couldn't even understand the most basic circuit diagram.

So, what exactly was that cubic thing in the heads of these two guys? Xing Tianli used his spiritual power to analyze it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what it was.

Anyway, not a 'human'.

There is no doubt about that.

Xing Tianli saw that the surfaces of the two small cubes were densely covered with extremely regular, convex and concave runes that were full of strange beauty. The runes were extremely fine, so fine that there were billions of such runes on any side of the cube!
He wanted to use his spiritual power to invade these two cubes to see what the internal structure was like.

But as soon as the power of his soul touched the two cubes, Xing Tianli suddenly tensed up, and an unpredictable sense of danger arose. His heart was beating violently, and the excessive hot blood rushed to his head, making him a little dizzy.

Can't touch, can't spy.

Otherwise there will certainly be unexpected risks.

Just like Oger, Augustus, and Ilse, these guys also have terrible restrictions in their heads. In other words, there are some unpredictable terrifying beings that are always watching these guys. Xing Tianli's prying eyes may expose himself to the sight of these terrifying beings at any time and bear their unpredictable attacks.

"I'm not that stupid!" Xing Tianli let out a breath and walked into the banquet hall on the third floor with the big black dog.

"Stingy woman!" Standing at the door of the banquet hall, Xing Tianli's eyes suddenly widened, and the big black dog muttered and complained in a very low voice.

The banquet hall, which occupies the entire third floor of the annex building, is large in area, but its furnishings are extremely simple, even crude.

In the banquet hall, more than a dozen rows of chairs were neatly arranged.

There are several long tables under the walls on both sides.

The table was covered with the most ordinary white tablecloth - white, the cheapest linen.

On these long tables, there were no snacks, cold cuts, fine wines, etc. that a high-end cocktail party should have. On the tables were several large glass jars filled with cold water, soaking a dozen light yellow lemon slices, and that was all.

A group of maids and waiters from the Marseille Palace stood expressionlessly in the corner of the banquet hall, like lifeless puppets, standing there quietly. It was not that they were lazy and slacking off, but that there was nothing in the entire banquet hall that needed them to do.

Despite such simple furnishings, the chairs in the banquet hall were almost full.

And to many of them, Xing Tianli looked familiar.

Xing Tianli had never seen most of them, but in the past two days, he had used his spiritual power to scan a lot of information in the archives room of the East Country Investigation Office of the British Consulate General, including some information about big figures in the International Concession, which he memorized in his heart.

The photos in the materials corresponded to most of the people present.

For example, in the Far West, in the North Sea, the Hellongen family of the Black Cliff Principality, the plenipotentiary representative stationed in the Dayu Dynasty, Count Hellongen the Younger, was wearing a very low-key tuxedo, sitting not far away, whispering something with several men.

For example, the neighbor of the Blackcliff Duchy, the Kingdom of Offen, whose ancestors also started out as robbers in the North Sea, their consul general, Viscount Albert, sat not far from Count Hellongen the Younger.

The Principality of Black Cliff, the Kingdom of Offen, and most of the Hundred Kingdoms in the Far West and the North Sea countries had representatives present.

In addition to them, there was a military counselor at the British Consulate General. He also saw Xing Tianli and nodded slightly to him. Xing Tianli also gestured back to him without any expression.

People from the Kingdom of Ingis were present, and there were official representatives from Farus, Saint Norman, Idoli, the Aimee Federation, and dozens of other countries.

Xing Tianli even saw the Holy Ross Empire, which was notorious in the Hundred Countries of the Far West and was known as the "Tyrant of the Snowfield" and the "Ultimate Heretic", and their Consul General Mazarev.

This was an old man with gray hair and beard, a burly figure, nearly 70 years old, but still standing straight, wearing a bright red general's uniform. Mazarev did not take a seat, but stood in a corner of the banquet hall, his arms folded across his chest, like an old brown bear observing its target before hunting, scanning everyone present with a grin.

Except for the independent Mazarev, the others present were like the young Count Hellongen, gathering in groups of three or five, whispering to each other. Many of them were talking, their eyes flickering, and they were wary of looking at the others present.

Everyone was very wary and fearful.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was like a dull powder keg. If someone lit a match here, God knew what would explode in the next moment.

At least Xing Tianli could see that everyone, including young Count Hellongen, carried lethal weapons on their bodies.

Some of the sturdy and strong guys were wearing coats in this hot weather. Judging from the bulges under their coats, they must have carried some powerful weapons.

Xing Tianli exhaled.

He walked to the side of the banquet hall facing the artificial lake outside, lifted the heavy curtains, and looked outside.

Just now he had followed the hotel's internal passage and entered the annex building directly from the main building, so he did not notice that the grass beside the artificial lake between the main building of the Marseille Palace and the annex buildings on both sides was already filled with various cars.

There were always some burly men sitting in every car.

At a glance, Xing Tianli's eyes flickered as he accurately counted that there were 275 cars visible to the naked eye on the hotel lawn alone, and there were 738 men in the cars.

And at the edge of the lawn, in the landscape forest planted by the Marseille Palace, there were still a large number of people wandering around.

"Is this Miss Maria a top artist?" Xing Tianli pondered for a while, and simply ran to Nelson, the first-class military counselor of the Kingdom of England, sat down beside him familiarly, and lowered his voice to inquire about the situation.

"You don't know?" Nelson looked at Xing Tianli in surprise, then he nodded: "Well, this is a line I have been following these days. You haven't come into contact with it, so it's normal that you don't know."

"But, Major Li Li, the fact that you were able to find this place shows that you really have an excellent sense of intelligence." Nelson praised sincerely: "I haven't seen a good guy as smart and capable as you in many years!"

Xing Tianli's face turned slightly red.

It's really weird.

A smart and capable young man? Xing Tianli admitted this without hesitation. This was the fact.

But, 'excellent intelligence sense'?
Damn it, he had no idea what was going on here.

After coughing lightly, Xing Tianli took the glass of lemonade, took a sip, and said softly: "Yes, I found that this Miss Maria, she and the people around her are very interesting. She is closely involved in the attack on the Cathedral of Our Lady!"

Xing Tianli said this with confidence.

After all, he saw with his own eyes that thin man brazenly attacking two of Di Si's men at Huaigong Ridge. Maria's two dogs were of the same species as the thin man's two pit bulls, so they were naturally accomplices.

Maria, must be related to the attack on the cathedral.

Xing Tianli didn't tell any lies. Monks don't tell lies, right?

Nelson and several of his subordinates immediately looked at Xing Tianli with eyes as if they were seeing a god.

After a long while, Nelson nodded slowly: "We are just making preliminary guesses. But since you said so, Major Li Li, then it is very likely. Major Li Li, you have a bright future, I firmly believe in this. Let's have a drink together when we are free!"

Nelson extended an olive branch. Apart from Augustus, Joe Peter and Joems, he was the first senior official of the British Consulate General to take the initiative to express his desire to make friends with Xing Tianli!

Xing Tianli smiled and nodded, accepting Nelson's kindness.

'Boom'!
The big clock in the corner of the banquet hall chimed low. After the seventh chime, the door to the side of the banquet hall opened, and four middle-aged men with gray hair and gray eyes, thin and sturdy, dressed in tight clothes, walked in, surrounded by Maria, who was wearing delicate makeup and a black floor-length dress.

Behind Maria, there were two sturdy pit bulls with hunks of tendon meat under their black fur.

Behind the two pit bulls, the two Pekingese dogs that Xing Tianli had seen in the elevator during the day were trotting happily along, occasionally sticking out their rosy little tongues and barking twice to act cute.

The corners of Xing Tianli's mouth twitched.

The big black dog squatting beside him subconsciously tensed his body.

If these four ghostly things that looked like dogs exploded, half of the International Concession would be razed to the ground, right? Their lethality was much more terrifying than the two huge ships that bombarded the Cathedral.

Maria walked expressionlessly to the small podium in front of the banquet hall. She was wearing a long dress and was dressed like a noble lady. However, her steps, which should have been elegant, noble and charming, were changed to those of a mighty army.

She stood on the podium and quickly scanned the banquet hall with a stern look.

Her gaze suddenly fixed on Xing Tianli's face, then she looked at Nelson, her eyes flickering, she slowly nodded, and her gaze moved to the faces of the people next to her.

"Very good, everyone is very punctual." Maria said coldly: "Then, from now on, we will refuse admission to subsequent friends. Obviously, those who are not here after the time is obviously not interested in my work."

There was deathly silence in the banquet hall.

Little Count Hellongen and all the officials from various countries present took a deep breath and looked at Maria with serious expressions.

"I've already told you the rules in advance." Maria said coldly, "Cash transactions, no banknotes or checks, only gold, silver, or precious metals of equal value on our list."

"Well, let's start the auction of my first work now!" Maria clapped her hands. From the small door she had just walked out of, a tight-fitting young girl with an expression as stern as hers and a face as delicate as hers, so delicate that she looked a little 'inhuman', came out holding a thick stack of documents.

"The first work is called 'Fireworks'." Maria pointed to the stack of documents and said, "It's a method for synthesizing a new type of explosive. The entire process is in the document."

"Its power is more than three times that of the standard military explosives used by your countries now." Maria said coldly, "That is to say, with the same weight of explosives, your shells can explode with more than three times the lethality."

"The most important point is that its properties are very stable and the production process is very safe. Apart from specially made detonators, even open flames will not detonate it. You no longer have to worry about a stupid worker on the production line blowing up the entire arsenal."

"According to our statistics, there have been at least fifty similar production accidents in various countries in the past twenty years!"

"It is a heavy loss, my Lords."

“But Fireworks will not let you down!”

"The starting price is thirty thousand taels of gold. Each bid cannot be less than one thousand taels." Maria gently raised her right hand: "Now, please make your bid."

Xing Tianli took a deep breath.

The first move was a big one. He finally understood why there were so many big figures from the consulates of various countries present. Moreover, the Consulate General of England even sent Nelson, the military counselor, to attend with a group of elite military attachés.

Although as a liberal arts student in his previous life, Xing Tianli could not understand the meaning of explosives that were three times more powerful than the current standard military explosives, but when he saw Nelson's face suddenly turn red, he knew that this matter was a bit serious.

"Is it very important?" Xing Tianli asked in a low voice.

"It will overturn everything." Nelson gritted his teeth and raised his right hand: "Ms. Maria, you really gave us a huge shock. Are you sure that the power of this new type of explosive is three times more powerful than the standard explosives commonly used in various countries now?"

"If it was 30 percent, we would have absolutely no doubts."

"But three times!" Nelson shook his head slightly: "You seem to be exaggerating a bit!"

Maria waved her hand, and the door opened again. An equally delicate and stern girl came out holding a tray. On the tray, there were dozens of normal-sized grenades.

"We have used this new type of explosive to make a batch of grenades. You can disassemble them on site and test them on site." Maria grabbed a grenade and threw it to Nelson who asked the question.

Those who appeared in the banquet hall today were all the most powerful people from various countries in the International Concession. After they quickly communicated with the Palace of Marseilles, an officer from the Kingdom of Saint-Norman threw a grenade directly from the banquet hall on the third floor towards the artificial lake outside.

With a muffled sound, a huge column of water rushed up high.

The noise caused by a small grenade is almost as loud as that of a two-inch (66mm) cannon shell!

Several countries sent their own military attachés to throw grenades into the artificial lake. Columns of water continued to explode, and someone at the scene even dismantled a grenade and poured out the explosives inside to weigh them.

That's right.

The explosive power of a grenade with a charge of six taels is equivalent to that of a two-inch cannon shell with a charge of twenty-one taels (here we take half a catty and eight taels, or about one tael to thirty-one grams).

They closed the windows, drew the curtains, and ignored the commotion outside caused by the explosion, nor did they care about how much compensation the Marseille Palace would have to pay to the guests staying there or the guests who came for fun because of the series of explosions just now. Inside the banquet hall, there began a mad scramble for the complete set of process flow drawings for the new type of explosives.

What surprised Xing Tianli, but also made sense to him, was that the representatives from the Kingdom of Yingjishi and the Kingdom of Saint Norman only quoted a few times as a token of their appreciation, and after pushing the price to a dizzyingly high level, they decisively stopped.

They were very nervous about the emergence of this new type of explosive.

But they don't seem to care that this new type of explosive will fall into the hands of others.

Finally, the Farrus Republic, which ranks among the top three in comprehensive national strength among the 100 countries in the Far West and has the largest national defense army among the 100 countries in the Far West, beat all the other powers to get the explosives process flow diagram by paying 570,000 taels of gold, or more than 17 tons of gold. "Within three days, I hope Farrus will deliver gold, or equivalent silver, or equivalent precious metals to us, and we will also hand over all the process drawings to Farrus."

Maria said very coldly: "Next, my second work is called "Swallowtail Shield". It is the formula of three new alloy steels and the process flow of the corresponding new steelmaking plant."

The formulas of three new alloys, one suitable for making ship steel, one suitable for making gun barrel steel, and one suitable for making armor steel.

The design drawings of the matching new steel plant show that as long as there is enough supply of iron ore, large new furnaces, and advanced production line design, a steel plant can produce 10 million tons of crude steel and 2 million tons of alloy steel a year!
Among the hundreds of countries in the Far West, there are only five or six "big countries" and "powerful countries" with an annual crude steel output of more than 10 million tons, led by the Kingdom of Yingji. The Kingdom of Yingji's crude steel output last year was about 45 million tons?

These 45 million tons of crude steel are the total output of hundreds of large and small steel mills!
If Maria is not exaggerating, such a steel plant is simply a national treasure!

Xing Tianli looked at Nelson.

Nelson's face was purple, but he took a deep breath and regained his composure. He noticed Xing Tianli's scrutiny, came closer, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Sir Augustus gave me a clear mandate. We have everything here, and it will only be better."

Xing Tianli raised his eyebrows, he understood.

Sure enough, in the following auctions, Yingjishi and Saint Norman acted as troublemakers, driving up prices crazily. It was still Consul General Falus who paid a high price on behalf of his country, using a terrifying price of 1.3 million taels of gold to buy three parts of the alloy formula and the process flow chart of the entire steel plant.

The Consul General of the Holy Ross Empire, Mazarev, had an unpleasant expression on his face.

He had tried his best to compete with Falu for the design drawings, but the financial resources of the Saint Ross Empire were not as good as those of Falu. Especially in the East Country, the Saint Ross Empire had a very small share, and the funds they could draw from the International Concession could not be compared with those of these top powers.

Xing Tianli noticed that Mazarev's eyes were already red and fierce. He knew without asking that the old guy was going to use an unconventional trick.

The third work, named "Spear", is a series of formulas for special alloys for armor-piercing bullets, as well as a series of armor-piercing bullets, from those for firearms to cannons, especially the design drawings of armor-piercing bullets specifically for naval guns.

Officials from various countries present were all in uproar.

More powerful explosives, better-performing ship steel, armor steel and artillery steel, plus better armor-piercing alloy formulas, ready-made armor-piercing design drawings, etc., is this to create a subversive naval force?
Consul General Farus blushed.

Consul General Yi Duoli was dancing with joy.

Mazarev's face became even gloomier. The territory of the Holy Ross Empire is extremely vast. In the direction of the North Sea, they have an extremely long coastline and hundreds of ports of all sizes. They need a strong navy, and they have been building a strong navy, but because of financial and technical reasons, the navy of the Holy Ross Empire can only be said to exist, but not to be useful!
Financial resources are easy to solve, and collecting more taxes can perfectly solve all problems.

But what about technology?

Mazarev took a vicious look at Maria, who was standing on the podium with a cold look in her eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, leaned back, folded his arms across his chest, leaned against the wall, and laid down completely.

After a not very fierce competition, the alloy formula of the armor-piercing projectile, the design drawings of the armor-piercing projectile, etc., were all taken into the hands of the Republic of Farus - no one competed with them for it. After all, the previous two sets of advanced technologies had already been obtained by them, and a single armor-piercing projectile design drawing was not very important.

For one hundred thousand taels of gold, Farus took the Spear.

Maria immediately took out her next work - "The Torrent"!
Or more precisely, it was the "Steel Torrent". This was a design drawing that included a series of heavy war equipment for the army, including troop carriers, armored vehicles, heavy tanks, etc. The most important design drawing was a heavy tank called the "Centurion", which had a tonnage of an astonishing 72 tons, and its defense, mobility, and firepower were all maxed out.

"A Centurion can easily slaughter a thousand-strong elite infantry, unless they have targeted heavy chariots to deal with the enemy." Maria said directly: "But as far as we know, none of the 100 countries in the Far West currently have the relevant chariot technology."

"As long as you build an armored force consisting of a thousand tanks of various levels, your army will be invincible in the hundreds of countries in the Far West!"

Maria's lips curled up, revealing a smile without any hint of laughter. Her eyes swept across the faces of Nelson and the representatives of the Kingdom of Saint Norman.

"Who are you? These things, which have never appeared in this world, where did you get them?" Mazarev finally couldn't bear the impact of "The Torrent" anymore. He waved his fist, extremely angry and excited, and asked the question that was on the mind of everyone present - except Xing Tianli.

Mazarev had to be angry and excited.

The reason why the Holy Ross Empire was called "tyrant" by the Hundred Countries of the Far West was that they knew they were the biggest "heretics" but were powerless against them. This was because the Holy Ross Empire was like weeds, with an astonishing number of worthless serfs.

There have been many wars in the history of the 100 countries in the Far West. The serf soldiers of the Holy Ross Empire, who shouted slogans and charged like mad dogs, caused great psychological trauma to various countries.

'Endless beasts', this is the common perception of the hundred countries in the Far West towards the army of the Holy Ross Empire.

However, if such a torrent of steel fell into the hands of other countries, when these steel chariots were spread out across the battlefield, the soldiers of the Saint Ross Empire, who were only equipped with an old-fashioned musket, would be like weeds and could only be slaughtered.

"Torrent", this is a "torrent" that is enough to shake the foundation of the Holy Ross Empire!
Maria gave the most direct answer to Mazarev's question: "We are a group of hidden scientists who are determined to promote the development of world civilization and spread our research results to everyone."

"But it is a well-known fact that scientific research is expensive. Very expensive."

"Therefore, we should trade our research results for a satisfactory amount of money, so that we can maintain our follow-up research and everyone can get newer and more powerful technologies."

"It's very logical, isn't it?"

Maria Sen Sen glanced at Mazarev and said, "Next, we refuse to answer similar useless and time-wasting questions. We have technology, you need technology, we need money, and we will give the technology to the person who offers the highest bid. This is a very simple logical closed loop. There is no problem here!"

Mazarev was furious, but he had no choice but to join the competition.

The two countries of England and Saint-Norman frantically raised prices, and finally, the design drawings of this set of steel chariots were bought by Mazarev at a sky-high price of 2.3 million taels of gold.

It was not until the end of the bidding, when Nelson and the representatives of the Kingdom of Saint Norman showed sarcastic sneers on their faces, that Mazarev suddenly came to his senses - damn it, he did not have so much money on hand, and he would not be able to pay so much money for a long time to come.

"Give us the money within three days." Maria looked at Mazarev fiercely, "Otherwise, we will give the work "The Flood" to the Kingdom of Yingjishi, which offered the second highest bid!"

Nelson's face suddenly turned dark.

You, no, no, the Kingdom of Yingjishi has no interest in these chariot designs. You'd better hand them over to the Holy Ross Empire!

Xing Tianli coughed and said, "The lending business in the International Concession is also very developed."

Mazarev was silent for a while, and then his expression suddenly relaxed. He grinned, laughed a few times, and then calmed down, crossed his arms, and leaned heavily against the wall.

There was a strange silence in the banquet hall.

A strange light flashed rapidly in Maria's eyes. She suddenly looked at Nelson and said, "Mr. Nelson, your Kingdom of England is not very interested in our brainchild?"

Nelson smiled subtly with the reserve typical of an old-school English gentleman.

Maria tilted her head slightly, the light in her eyes flickering more and more intensely. She smiled and said, "Well, everyone, I have another hard-earned piece of information here. I think you must be very interested."

"A complete set of blueprints of the Super Dreadnought-class battleship from the British Commonwealth Navy Department, including detailed technical data on all ship steel, gun steel, and turbines. The whole set is packaged and auctioned without a reserve price."

Maria smiled, a chilling smile as she looked at Nelson: "A super-giant ship with an astonishing displacement, enough to change the world's naval warfare pattern, an unprecedented and terrifying warship. Distinguished gentlemen, the Kingdom of England has already laid the keels of twelve super-dreadnought-class ships in their shipyards, and they are working day and night!"

Nelson and several military attachés stood up together, staring at Maria with fiery eyes.

The banquet hall was dead silent.

"Miss Maria, are you and the mastermind behind you trying to provoke the Kingdom of England?" Nelson asked sternly, "Are you trying to provoke the powerful Kingdom of England?"

"Powerful?" Maria said coldly, "Perhaps. But when our people got the complete set of super-dreadnought-class information from your Navy Department's data room, we didn't realize how powerful your Kingdom of Yingjishi is!"

Nelson cursed and pulled out a pistol.

'Boom'!
The thin man standing next to Maria moved faster. As Nelson just pulled out his gun, a flash of fire appeared in the other man's hand, and a bullet shot out and hit the gun barrel in Nelson's hand.

Sparks flew, Nelson felt pain in his palm and dropped his pistol. The bullet collided with the gun barrel, and the flying shrapnel also made small wounds on the two British military attachés beside him. Blood seeped out, leaving a small dark spot on their clothes.

Maria's face remained unchanged. She said calmly, "To show our sincerity, in addition to the complete set of data maps of the super-dreadnought-class battleship, we will also give you a complete set of 'vacuum tube electronic combat command system', as well as the design drawings of the 'long-wave radar' and all the process flow charts."

"Perhaps, you don't know what a vacuum tube is?" Maria said calmly, "Then I will give you a brief introduction."

"In short, vacuum tubes can be used to make computers, which can make everyone's firepower system react faster, aim more accurately, and shoot more precisely."

Maria told the story slowly, and Xing Tianli's face twitched.

Even if he was an ordinary liberal arts student in his previous life, he knew what vacuum tubes, transistors and the like meant. Are these guys going to raise the civilization level of the entire world to the electronic age in one fell swoop?

why?
Picture what?
Xing Tianli looked at Maria who was doing science popularization work with a subtle gaze, nodded to Nelson beside him, threw a wisp of spiritual power on Maria, and then followed Nelson out.

He was not interested in the material.

Even the design drawings and the complete process flow of the hydrogen bomb? For a cultivator like him, external objects were of little significance. Instead, he was more interested in the high-energy materials inside the hydrogen bomb.

However, to buy these materials, Farus and Saint Ross need to mobilize a large amount of gold, silver or equivalent precious metals. Xing Tianli is very interested in these things.

When walking out of the banquet hall, Xing Tianli noticed that the gazes of Maria, several thin men, the two pit bulls, and the two Pekingese were all like knives, falling on him and the big black dog.

The big black dog also keenly sensed the other party's malicious intentions. He clamped his tail tightly and followed Xing Tianli closely.

After walking out of the banquet hall and down the stairs, the two middle-aged men guarding the stairs looked over at them with the same gaze as Maria and the others.

Xing Tianli suddenly realized that he and the big black dog had been "recognized" by these guys.

They have already made it clear that they and the big black dog are the culprits who forced the pit bull to self-destruct by the river that night. They have already "identified their target."

Their eyes were not kind.

Ordinary people would probably just think that these people had ill will towards them because of Nelson and the Kingdom of England. Only Xing Tianli and Big Black Dog knew that there was an old grudge between them and these people.

After leaving the annex building, an English attaché drove over. Nelson got in the car and stuck his head out of the window: "We are tracking down the culprits who bombarded the cathedral. I didn't expect that they would show up so brazenly."

Nelson made an extremely ferocious gesture: "Keep an eye on them! Keep an eye on them to death! Wait for us to come over!"

The car drove away quickly.

The two unlucky guys who were injured by shrapnel just now were already a little exhausted. Although the wounds were small, they seemed to be very unlucky. The shrapnel injured their internal organs and caused severe internal bleeding. They struggled to walk out of the banquet hall, but they were already a little exhausted.

Xing Tianli turned around and looked towards the banquet hall on the third floor.

At the entrance of the annex building, a girl with a delicate face and cold eyes walked out quietly, walked straight to within two meters of Xing Tianli, put her hands behind her back, and stared at him straight.

Are you stalking so boldly?
Xing Tianli looked at the girl and shook his head: "Even a rookie wouldn't do this. This is so blatant. Don't you take me seriously?"

Xing Tianli suddenly inexplicably remembered the word "logic" that Maria had said many times.

These guys, their logic is probably totally different from that of serious people, right? Their logic is closed and self-consistent, it seems that as long as they can explain it, they can accept this result?

So, this girl stood less than two meters away, staring at Xing Tianli with eyes wide open. In their opinion, this absurd and ridiculous behavior is completely acceptable?

Anyway, they determined that Xing Tianli and the big black dog were enemies.

If he is an enemy, just keep an eye on him, and then send enough force to destroy him with one blow?
As for how weird, absurd, and shocking this behavior may seem to outsiders, is this completely out of their consideration?
Xing Tianli turned around and walked towards the direction where he parked his car.

Sure enough, this girl with a delicate face followed closely. She walked step by step behind Xing Tianli, looking like a runaway girl who was abducted by a pervert.

Xing Tianli got in the car and drove directly out of the Marseille Palace.

After what happened at Shan De Fang, Xing Tianli no longer dared, was unwilling, and could not fight with others in crowded places.

He was unwilling to take even the slightest risk of getting hurt.

Especially these guys, they would blow themselves up easily, and a large area would explode. And in the International Concession, even Fontainebleau Street, it was not entirely filled with foreign devils from the Far West, there were always Easterners living there!

Therefore, facing the girl's unscrupulous "surveillance", Xing Tianli took the initiative to drive away.

The girl didn't know where she got a car from, and she drove very skillfully, following closely behind Xing Tianli.

Her driving skills are top-notch.

Her car was always following Xing Tianli's car two meters away. When Xing Tianli accelerated, she accelerated. When Xing Tianli slowed down, she also slowed down. It seemed as if there was an invisible iron stake between the two cars, tightly connecting the two cars together.

"Where are we going now?" The big black dog looked back at the car chasing behind him and shouted with bared teeth, "Take it to the Hellongen family's territory. I suddenly found a grape vine that is very suitable for her small body!"

"Aren't you afraid that she will explode like that big dog?" Xing Tianli's words made the big black dog clamp its tail suddenly, and looked over with a look of horror, wagging its tongue: "Then where are you going to take her?"

Xing Tianli said in a deep voice: "Who do you hate the most?"

The big black dog hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Those bastards around the Queen Mother? They've been holding me back all day long! Look, when we got to Pinghai City, there aren't even a few lackeys around my brothers who can help me!"

"Change someone else." Xing Tianli snorted coldly: "After all, they are my colleagues. I am embarrassed to bring these disaster stars with me!"

"This group of disaster stars?" The big black dog turned around suddenly and saw that behind the girl's car, there were suddenly two more cars, and in each car, there were four men wearing dark clothes, with thin bodies and strong faces.

"This group of disaster stars!" The big black dog widened his eyes: "Are they very powerful? Apart from self-destruction?"

"I've seen them attack, they were fierce and unstoppable." Xing Tianli pondered for a while and shook his head: "I can't stop them, but I don't know if you can!"

"The Dongyun people!" The big black dog immediately changed his words: "Apart from the bunch of damn eunuchs around the Queen Mother, what I hate most is that shorty from the island slaves. Hey, can you think of a way to trick them?"

"I also think that the people of Dongyun are pretty annoying." Xing Tianli smiled and said, "Why do we need to think of a way to trick them? I have a friend who has a good relationship with the Dongyun military."

"Friends? Do you have friends who are slaves of Dongyun Island?" The big black dog stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "It's better to be a serious friend."

"Of course they are my most serious friends. If our relationship is not good, they won't be willing to die for me!" Xing Tianli's answer was very serious.
