Pawn Crossing the River

After Qi Xuansu officially pretended to be a baron, the first visitor he received was the baron's mistress.

But it is not the "chief mistress" Susan Grimshaw, but the baron's most favored mistress in recent years, and the youngest and most beautiful mistress, her name is Monica Summers.

Monica is a first name rather than a surname. For two people who are closely related, it is natural to call her by her first name instead of a polite surname.

To be fair, whether it is Eastern or Western aesthetics, this woman is quite beautiful. She has black hair and black eyes, just like Easterners, but her face is exotic, just like Westerners.

But Qi Xuansu doesn't want to have any physical contact with this woman. At this point, Qi Xuansu is a bit like a young lady. Apart from beating people, killing people and Zhang Yuelu, he doesn't like to have too much physical close contact with others. It's an instinct. of disgust. Even if it was Xiao Yin, he would lift the collar at the back of her neck instead of holding her in his arms.

So Qi Xuansu wrapped himself tightly in his cloak, like a silkworm chrysalis, pretending to be weak to prevent this woman from approaching.

This woman is all kinds of friendly and affectionate.

Qi Xuansu dealt with it carelessly, hoping that this woman would leave quickly. He wanted to play the role of Baron because he wanted to understand the inside story of St. York from a different perspective and maybe get some unexpected gains. He was not here to enjoy the Baron's woman.

After about an hour, the old housekeeper finally said: "Miss Summers, it's time for the Baron to rest."

Monica reluctantly stood up and glanced at the old housekeeper with dissatisfaction, as if to say, when I become the real hostess here, you will be the one to look good.

The old housekeeper turned a blind eye and ignored this lucky woman who was once at the bottom but now rose to a high position.

Qi Xuansu avoided Monica's farewell kiss and imitated the baron's tone and said: "Monica, do you need my help with anything recently?"

"No, dear Ramon, you have done enough for me, I don't need anything." Monica said affectionately, "I am with you because of love, I am so Love you."

Wu Niang appeared not far away and mocked coldly: "When a woman says she doesn't want anything, it often means she wants everything."

"Incisive." Qi Xuansu agreed, "But what does it have to do with me? I'm not a baron."

After Monica left, the old housekeeper said with slight dissatisfaction: "You should respond to Monica. Don't you like women? Even if you don't like it, you should get over it."

Qi Xuansu said lightly: "I don't like the tone of your words very much."

The old housekeeper was startled, and then his eyes brightened, revealing a bit of murderous intent.

Has the adventurer forgotten his identity? Do you really think of yourself as a baron?

Qi Xuansu didn't care what the old housekeeper thought.

Although this old butler has considerable strength, probably equivalent to a heavenly being in the Xiaoyao stage, in front of Qi Xuansu, he is obviously completely worthless. He and the Baron would not know that their move was not to lure the wolf into the house, but to lure the dragon into the house, a powerful dragon crossing the river.

"Don't forget your identity. A qualified housekeeper should not talk to his master like this under any circumstances, let alone stare at his master with wide eyes." Qi Xuansu continued.

The old butler's chest visibly rose and fell, then he lowered his eyes and returned to his usual humility: "Yes, Your Excellency Baron, I apologize to you."

However, only he himself knows what the old butler is thinking and how he will deal with this audacious "violator" when the baron returns.

Next is the Baron's henchman, Micah Bell.

Qi Xuansu no longer wrapped himself in a cloak, and sat in the middle of the couch very naturally and relaxedly, not intending to share it with others.

When Micah came in, Qi Xuansu stared at him closely: "Micah, you are here. In the words of the Orientals, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Tell me, you brought me another What good news or bad news?”

Quoting Easterners is one of the Baron's habits, which fits the character perfectly. Preemptive strike is a method. As long as you put yourself in an offensive posture, others will be tired of dealing with it and will not stop to think about the authenticity of the Baron.

Micah had a very exaggerated beard, like two crescent moons hanging on the left and right of his lips. He sat down on the single sofa next to him and said, "Sir, Sean is dead."

According to the information, Sean is a small factory owner, and he has some unpleasant business relationships with the Baron. The reason is that the Baron took a fancy to a piece of land under Sean's name and intended to buy it, but Sean was unwilling to sell it, and the relationship between the two parties quickly became rigid. . The Baron asked Micah to handle the matter, and this was Micah's solution.

Qi Xuansu said nothing, just stared at Mika coldly.

Micah originally had his legs crossed and a cigar in his mouth, but under Qi Xuansu's gaze, he gradually felt inexplicable pressure. He first lowered his legs, then put out the cigar, and finally straightened his upper body and no longer leaned on the sofa. .

"Is this how you deal with it?" Qi Xuansu grasped the tone of this kind of superior person very well. He was not harsh but full of pressure. After all, he was also a superior person.

Micah lowered his head slightly: "I just don't want you to soil your gloves because of this kind of thing."

Qi Xuansu was noncommittal: "Is there a difference?"

Micah was silent.

Qi Xuansu said: "You know what to do."

Micah suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu did nothing, just looked at him indifferently, without any emotion.

In the end, Micah retreated and lowered his head again: "Yes, Your Excellency."

Qi Xuansu said in a cold tone: "Forget it this time, I won't be so lucky next time."

Micah stood up and left.

After a long time, the old butler whispered: "Your Excellency, your performance this time is perfect. It's just a little risky. What if Micah resists? You don't have enough power to suppress him. After all, that cloak can only Just imitating the momentum.”

Qi Xuansu said indifferently: "How do you know that I don't have the power to suppress him? Besides, don't you still have me?"

The old housekeeper was shocked and realized something was wrong.

Qi Xuansu had already stood up and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The old housekeeper gathered his thoughts and replied: "Miss Molly caused a little trouble when she went to Zhongcheng District. She accidentally sucked the son of a congressman dry. The law enforcement officer sent by Zhongcheng District will be here soon."

Molly O'Shea, the Baron's daughter. The sucking here is of course not sucking dry in the male and female sense, but literally sucking all the blood.

The baron wanted to deal with the aftermath of his daughter and smooth out the relationship. He first asked her to leave St. York temporarily and return to her hometown in the Old World. He also prepared a huge compensation and handed over several scapegoats.

However, the congressman was not reconciled and clamored that the murderer must be brought to justice, so the law enforcement officer came to visit this time.

Qi Xuansu said: "Let them come."

The old housekeeper hesitated to speak, and finally just took a deep look at Qi Xuansu, turned around and left.

The meeting place this time was no longer the private small living room on the second floor, but the large living room on the first floor. The law enforcement officers were coming fiercely. In addition to a real law enforcement officer, there was also Colt's steam "law enforcement officer" , a total of five of them, lined up behind them one after another, as if they were going to search the baron's mansion.

"Okay, Baron." Law Enforcement Officer Ross sat opposite Qi Xuansu, "In Eastern terms, let's get straight to the point and stop beating around the bush. I mentioned a deal to you before, and you should agree to it."

Qi Xuansu responded based on the information given by the baron: "An illegitimate child is not worth so much money, unless you want to get more from it."

Ross said: "Since you don't want to give the money, hand over Miss O'Shea."

"You know, this is impossible." Qi Xuansu seemed to have truly integrated into the role of the baron, leaning back in his chair, "You are all in vain."

The old housekeeper seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted directly by Qi Xuansu: "You have no place to speak here."

The old housekeeper had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips and took a deep look at Qi Xuansu again.

Ross seemed to see some clues and stood up suddenly.

A powerful momentum rushed towards him.

This is the breath of alchemical arcana.

Qi Xuansu disagreed: "What do you want to do in my territory? Fight against me?"

The old housekeeper couldn't care less about Qi Xuansu's anger for the moment, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Men belonging to the baron also appeared outside the hall.

Ross sneered: "Your Majesty, Baron, you seem to be seriously ill?"

Qi Xuansu was still sitting on the sofa: "That's not something you, a pile of junk, can contend with."

The corner of Rose's mouth curled up: "Oh? I don't think so. Ramon, I'll give you one last chance. Do you think you are a real noble by putting on a hat called 'Baron' for yourself? Every time Everyone knows that every penny you have is dirty, you are just a stinky rat hiding in the gutter, who do you think you are?"

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "My money is not clean, so is your money clean? Is the prosperity built with bones and blood so clean? What qualifications do you have to laugh at me? Mr. Noble Law Enforcement Officer."

Rose's playful smile turned into anger, as if he saw the bluff of the baron in front of him, he punched Qi Xuansu in the face.

The old butler next to him had his pupils contracted and was about to take action, but sadly found that he had no time to stop him. The result was that this clumsy adventurer would have his head blown off by Rose and turn into a headless corpse. This also meant that the Baron's plan Total bankruptcy.

But the next moment, the old housekeeper's regret turned into shock.

Because Rose's fist stopped when it was still more than ten centimeters away from Qi Xuansu's face, Qi Xuansu's five fingers were firmly grasped on his wrist, preventing the modified prosthetic arm from moving.

Qi Xuansu's method of military solution brought the inheritance of the acquired immortal to Wu Niang's body, including the inheritance of martial arts.

The five steam "law enforcement officers" brought by Ross immediately stepped forward, only to see a flash of fire.

Under the high temperature, these five "law enforcement officers" directly turned into molten iron, but the flames did not spread to the hall at all. This kind of control ability is really amazing.

This is the flame from Wuniang herself.

Wu Niang appeared next to Qi Xuansu, stroking her palms and saying with a smile: "Okay, good cooking. Burn five first, then five more."
