626 He Could Still Be Saved

Since there was no way up, and no way to look inside the robot, the Bureau Chief decided to take another look at the exterior. The aliens had almost reached Earth and he was not as carefree as Hong Dali. Seeing that Hong Dali was going to go back to sleep, the Bureau Chief hurriedly asked, "How long will it take for the Holographic Gaming Chamber to be ready? I'd like to go see it with you."

"Ah, that," Hong Dali thought about it. "According to Running Dog, it should take another two days. There are twenty in the first batch, the rest will be slowly built."

"Twenty sets." The Bureau Chief calculated the number of people and nodded. "Okay, it's enough for the time being. If there are no issues with it, I will have all the major electronics companies in our country to help you manufacture parts. This virtual world has to be ready ahead of time. That would be an advantage, a huge advantage!"

"Okay, no problem." Hong Dali smiled and nodded. "Whatever you say, Uncle Chief."

…

The wait was extremely boring.

The Bureau Chief basically just guarded the two mechas for the past two days. He knew that these two mechas were likely to be the hope of the planet in the future.

They had no idea what level Deca's people's technology was at. However, since they could do interstellar travel, Earth's current level of technology was definitely not their match. So now, whether the Earth would get colonized or if they would be able to negotiate with them as equals would all depend on the two mechas.

Of course, he was not a man who did nothing but waited for things to be ready. In those two days, he had secretly done a lot of things—for example, deal with the Qian Family which had been driven out of the Heavenly State previously because of their failure.

"Such a long time has passed, there should be a conclusion." The Bureau Chief muttered, then took out his smartphone and dialed a number.

…

Shanghai Tianhai City, inside an ordinary dwelling.

Qian Guangzhao looked at the latest news about Hong Dali on the laptop screen silently.

His fists were clenched so tight his nails almost pierced the palm of his hands.

Hong Dali was really scary. When Qian Guangzhao saw the news that Sea Turtle Island had been recovered, he knew that he had no chance of revenge in this lifetime.

He was just an ordinary businessman. Even someone who had a lot of military power would find it impossible to take Hong Dali down. Recovering Sea Turtle Island was a great accomplishment that would be written into the annals of history. It would not be an overstatement to say that Hong Dali was no longer on the same level as everyone else.

"Perhaps, I was on the wrong side right from the beginning…" Things had progressed to such a stage that no matter how unwilling Qian Guangzhao was, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and answered it. From the other end of the line came the anxious voice of his wife. She said, "Old Qian, it's terrible. Our last savings account with six billion in it has been frozen! Our family members are all on the verge of despair. We are broke, completely broke!"

"What?!" Qian Guangzhao was instantly stunned when he heard what his wife said.

That savings account with six billion was all the Qian Family had left. If those funds were frozen, the Qian Family would be completely uprooted. There would be no way for them to make a comeback.

To have to return to living a simple and hard life after being used to a life of extravagance and excess, the thought was just…

"Okay, I understand." Qian Guangzhao hung up.

Things had progressed to a stage where there was no way out. There might still be a chance if he fought with his life on the line. But if all he could do was sit and wait for the end to come like a beggar, he might as well just die.

"If I have to die, everyone will die with me." Qian Guangzhao took out a small remote control from his pocket. "Our Qian Family has been around for a hundred years. In order to defend against such a situation, we have made a total of ten betrayer missiles over the years. Each one was made secretly, part by part, slowly assembled. Betrayer, betrayer, hehe, such an intimate term…"

"Three betrayer missiles are enough to level the entire Door to Heaven," Qian Guangzhao muttered. "I have ten! If they do not agree to my conditions, I will…"

He had just finished that thought when the phone suddenly rang again. This time, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Who is this?" Since he had already made his decision, Qian Guangzhao's voice was steady. He was not afraid of even death, he would not be afraid of anything else.

"Is this Mr. Qian Guangzhao?" The Bureau Chief's voice came from the phone. " How have you been?"

"So-so." Qian Guangzhao asked, "Is anything the matter?"

"Well, I just want to discuss some terms with you." The Bureau Chief smiled and said, "The last account with six billion yuan of the Qian Family money family has been frozen by me. In addition, I know that you have ten betrayer missiles. You must be thinking of using them as leverage to talk to us about your terms. I am afraid that you can't find my phone number, so I took the initiative and called you first."

After he heard what the Bureau Chief said, Qian Guangzhao's eyebrows twitched violently. He said, "Tell me your terms. Since you took the initiative to contact me, you must already have plans. Am I right?" Then, he added, "I'll say this in advance, if I'm not satisfied with your terms, I would rather take everyone down with me."

"The conditions are simple," The Bureau Chief said quietly. "Three million for you, treat it as an act of mercy by the state. We do not wish to hurt the innocent. The six billion will be transferred to Hong Dali. Once you agree, we will no longer care about what the Qian Family does. Think about it."

"Three million!" Qian Guangzhao exploded. "Are you fobbing off a beggar?! Six billion, and you are giving me only three million?! Do you believe that all I have to do is press a button and countless people will die with me?!"

"No." On the other end of the line, the Bureau Chief smiled. "You have seen the video about Hong Dali recovering Sea Turtle Island? That is a Distortion Force Field, developed from the results of Hong Dali's latest research. He has always been on good relations with us, so we, the military, also have part of the technology. Maybe about 80% of it. To be honest, the ten betrayer missiles you have are no different from fireworks and firecrackers in our eyes. The only difference is that you hold the controls to activate them."

"You're lying!" Qian Guangzhao yelled. "Even if you have mastered the technology, you will still find it hard to deal with my ten missiles if I blow them up in random places! I don't believe you can cover the entire Heavenly State in this Distortion Force Field thing!"

"Oh, of course not." The Bureau Chief didn't get angry at all. Instead, he asked, "Qian Guangzhao, have you ever thought of this? With your current ability, are you Hong Dali's match? I'm not afraid to tell you, the Toyoda Conglomerate is finished, Tarō Gohon is dead, Ko Gohon has become a eunuch. He is neither a man nor a woman now and is preparing to go to Dailand for an operation. Sea Turtle Island has been recovered by Hong Dali, and he even extorted four warships from Jaban. In the future, Merika is bound to be plagued by the same bad luck. What about you? If you press the button, can you guarantee what happens next? I can guarantee that if you press the button, there will be absolutely nothing left of the Qian family because I will personally make sure that each and every one will be secretly executed by us."

When the Bureau Chief finished speaking, Qian Guangzhao was completely stunned.

Of course, he had already seen the video of the Sea Turtle Island incident.

He had secretly found out from Shiroishi Kazuma that Tarō Gohon was dead.

His ten betrayer missiles had always been regarded as the ultimate leverage if the Qian family ever needed to bargain for anything. Every component was either secretly commissioned, personally made or smuggled in from Merika. Their purpose was to help the Qian Family in the event of a big crisis.

Actually, with the missiles in his control, Qian Guangzhao was not really afraid of anything. Even if the last account had been frozen, he still had considerable confidence that he could turn things around by using the missiles as leverage.

After listening to the Bureau Chief, Qian Guangzhao had to admit that even his biggest bargaining counter was of no use.

Because of Hong Dali.

No matter how arrogant Qian Guangzhao was, how tough he thought he could be, he had to admit that he was not Hong Dali's match.

Was the Toyoda Conglomerate powerful? Tarō Gohon was dead, Ko Gohon had become a eunuch. What had become of Jaban's forced attempt to occupy Sea Turtle Island? It took Hong Dali only a day to recover Sea Turtle Island and in the process, he also extorted four warships from Jaban!

What did he, Qian Guangzhao, count for? What did he have to threaten Hong Dali with?

A hair on Hong Dali's leg was thicker than his waist now. Betrayer missile? Up against Hong Dali, would even an atomic bomb work?

The warrior had reached the end of the road. The glory of the Qian Family had finally come to an end.

"Okay." Qian Guangzhao took a deep breath. "As much as I'm unwilling to, I still have to admit that what you said makes sense." Having said that, his entire body sagged and he put down the remote control for the betrayal missiles. Laughing softly, he said. "I have been careful my entire life, but unfortunately, I took one wrong step, just one wrong step and ended up like this…"

"Making a quick decision when you should, you are indeed a real man." The Bureau Chief was very satisfied with Qian Guangzhao's reply. "Qian Guangzhao, the Hong Family is not petty. Now, I will give you two choices. First, according to what I said earlier, you go abroad. I will give you three million. If you do not live extravagantly, food and clothing will not be any problem. Second, return to the country, live life anew. I can give you ten million, live an honest life from now on. Whether you intend to start from scratch or whatever, as long as you do not stir up any trouble, we will not make things difficult for your Qian family."

"Are you serious?" Hearing that, Qian Guangzhao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Can we really go back?"

"That brat, Hong Dali, is a magnanimous man." The Bureau Chief chuckled and said, "This time, I intend to give it a try too. How about it?"

He still had not forgotten how Tarō Gohon died. The Blood Demon started off with a mission to kill Hong Dali, but Hong Dali didn't care at all. What happened in the end? The instigator Tarō Gohon ended up dead.

Although Qian Guangzhao was instead very detestable in the past, the Bureau Chief felt that he could still be saved. Who knows, he might come in useful in the future.

"Okay, okay!" Qian Guangzhao was so excited his hands were shaking. Who would want to remain a drifter abroad if they could return home?

"Haha, since Mr. Qian has agreed, then everything will go smoothly." The Bureau Chief immediately said, "You should dismantle all the betrayal missiles. It's not safe to leave them intact. Well, you can open the door now, I have sent someone to meet you."

"Okay, okay! I will go now!" Qian Guangzhao hung up the phone and sprinted to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a bespectacled Mu Huishou smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Qian. From now on, I will be responsible for all your matters. This is the first time we meet. My name is Mu Huishou, looking forward to working with you."
