Chapter 20
Dad Bai used intimate "violent education" to prove that he was still Dad Bai. Seeing his son responding listlessly, he rubbed his head, pulled him over and hugged him before letting him go.
Bai Le had no sense that he was the current leader of the Knights, and watched pitifully as his father led his men away. Bai Xiang had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned back and took a closer look at the group of people squatting by the door of the small building. He sneered and said, "What are the little brats of the Bajun family doing squatting here? Are they growing mushrooms?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, then Michelle stood up with a wry smile , looked at Bai Xiang helplessly, and said, "I didn't expect that Boss Bai still remembered me. It's an honor."
Bai Xiang snorted and said, "To be able to become a cadre of the Tyrant Army in just two months, I will never forget such an amazing newcomer like you."
"I don't deserve it. Boss Bai started from scratch and became one of the four largest companies in Central City in less than ten years. You are the role model of our generation." Michelle said respectfully.
"Oh?" Bai Xiang narrowed his eyes at Michelle and asked, "How does it compare to old man Wesker?"
Facing Bai Xiang's deliberately difficult questions, if Michel continued to flatter Bai Xiang, it would obviously lose face for Wesker, the leader of the Tyrant Family; if he changed his words and praised Wesker, it would seem that what he said before was all false. Michel said without hesitation: "You and Dad are both the first generation to create the world, and we, the younger generation, are just following in their footsteps. We dare not make rash comments."
"Hahahaha, you are worthy of being the Tyrant Army, worthy of being the mountain of the Central City. If any of my guys are even one tenth as good as you, they would wake up laughing in their dreams." Bai Xiang clapped his hands and laughed a few times, but his eyes were frighteningly cold, and his overwhelming power made Mia and others feel almost unable to breathe. Michelle always maintained a humble smile, and still looked ordinary, but in this situation, his "ordinariness" was truly extraordinary.
Bai Xiang's smile suddenly disappeared, he stared at Michelle and said coldly: "So what? What are you doing here? What shameful idea is that old man planning?"
"My father is upright and honest, and everyone knows this. Moreover, my actions this time were not instructed by my father." Michelle explained lightly, then turned to look at Rong Yuan and said, "I went out this time because I heard that there seemed to be an ice coffin in the south, so I went to investigate."
He paused, as if he hadn't noticed the drastic changes in several people's faces, and then said, "...I didn't expect to encounter some accidents. All my men died, and I was accidentally captured by the Zerg. If you hadn't rescued me, I don't know how bad things would have happened. Because the Tyrant Army has many enemies in the outer city, for the sake of safety, I concealed my identity during this period of time, but in the face of your selfless kindness, I deceived you, I am really... I am very sorry."
His eyes and tone were so sincere that Mia and the others were initially surprised and dissatisfied with his identity, but now their expressions softened. Rong Yuan stood at the door with his hands in his pockets, his expression as calm as ever, with neither good intentions nor bad intentions.
"Come to think of it, I haven't formally expressed my gratitude to you yet." Michelle said carefully, "I will prepare a dinner at my family tomorrow. I wonder if you can come and join me?"
Before Rong Yuan could say anything, he heard Bai Xiang say coldly, "Expressing gratitude? Ha! Will even old man Wesker be there?"
Michelle said: "If Dad knew that you saved me, he would definitely want to meet you."
Bai Xiang snorted, "If you want to recruit Mr. Rong on behalf of the Bajun family, just say so directly. It's ridiculous to keep talking nonsense and even come up with some excuse of gratitude!"
"Of course I have to thank you. If Mr. Rong is willing to honor me, the Tyrant Army will present a generous gift." Michelle said slowly: "I will never come to you empty-handed like some people do. "
"Hey! What do you mean, kid?!" Bai Xiang shouted angrily.
"I don't mean anything else. Of course, if Boss Bai insists on understanding it as something else, I have no objection." Michelle said with a veiled smile.
Bai Xiang glared at him, and then he saw Rong Yuan standing aside and watching from the corner of his eye. He suddenly smiled again and said, "You Bajun are really arrogant. I have to come to visit Mr. Rong in person, and you, a little wolf cub ranked 17, want to express your gratitude, but you actually ask others to go there by themselves... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, your attitude is really arrogant."
Michelle's face finally changed. She resisted the urge to look at Rong Yuan's expression and said politely, "Originally, I should have come to visit, but my father is old, and I think Mr. Rong doesn't care about those vulgar people who are just being polite, so I took the liberty to ask."
Michelle, who was repeatedly criticized by Bai Xiang, finally couldn't help but get angry and sarcastically said "empty courtesy" and "vulgar person". As soon as he said it, he suddenly realized that he had been led into a ditch by Bai Xiang's unreasonable nagging. If he had a dispute with Bai Xiang here, then the plan to invite Rong Yuan would naturally fall through, and even invisibly lower the evaluation of the Bajun family.
"What if Mr. Rong doesn't agree?" Bai Xiang put one hand on his waist, tapped the scimitar hanging on his waist with his fingers, and sneered: "Are you going to follow me and prosper, and disobey me and perish?"
Michelle suppressed his anger and said, "I am sincere in inviting Mr. Rong. Ba Jun has always respected Boss Bai. I don't know why you have such a big misunderstanding about us. My Ba Jun and Huo Xiao have always been on good terms. Boss Bai, please be careful with your words." Then he turned to Rong Yuan and said, "Mr. Rong is new here. I am afraid he still has a lot of things to deal with. I will not bother you. If you need me, please send someone to Dongcheng to pass on a message. As for the dinner, please consider it, Mr. Rong. I will send a formal invitation letter tomorrow. Well, goodbye first."
Rong Yuan nodded and finally said, "Slow down."
"Haha, goodbye!" Bai Xiang waved his hand and said proudly as if he had snatched a lollipop from a kid.
Michelle looked at him deeply, said goodbye to everyone politely, and then walked out. After turning around, his calm and gentle expression suddenly became ferocious!
This small building is on the top of a tall building. There is a crooked staircase hanging in the air on the side of the tall building. On one side of the staircase is a straight up and down wall, and on the other side is hundreds of meters high in the air. Michel walked down the stairs. The wind in the sky made his hair fly in disarray, and his slightly wide sleeves whistled in the wind. From this angle, he looked very different from his usual ordinary and easy-going appearance. If Mia saw him like this at first sight, she would probably run away immediately and never say a word to him.
On the 120th floor of the small building, there was a narrow sky bridge leading to another tall building next to it. When Michelle stepped onto the sky bridge, several middle-aged men with sharp eyes and restrained expressions appeared beside her.
A man who followed Michelle closely had narrowed eyes and a big nose. Every time he raised his eyebrows or raised his hands, he gave people a very shrewd feeling. He glanced at Michelle's ugly face and asked in a positive tone: "...Didn't succeed?"
"I was messed up by the old thief Bai!" Michelle gritted her teeth and said, "He recognized my identity and fooled me no matter what I said . I don't know what kind of benefit that person promised him to charge into battle like this. Even a pug wouldn't be as attentive as him!"
"Could it be that the guy has already cast Howling, so the old thief Bai wants to stop him from contacting us?" he speculated with narrowed eyes.
Michelle thought about it and shook his head, saying, "Impossible. Judging from the old thief's behavior, it's more likely that the master-servant relationship is reversed."
"This is troublesome." Mi Fengyan frowned and said, "My subordinates came to me after seeing the message you left on the road, but the message was not clear, and I don't know the specific situation yet - are you sure that Rong Yuan is the person in the ice coffin?
"He hasn't confirmed it himself, but..." Michelle's face became serious, and he said, "If even he is not qualified, then no one in the world is qualified to enter the ice coffin."
"Is he really that strong?" Squinting eyes doubted, "I heard that he defeated Snow with one move, but no matter how strong a person's martial arts is, he can't be as harmful as the plague god back then, right?"
Thinking of the scene deep in the mine, Michelle's heart tightened involuntarily, and said: "You don't know what I saw... If you also saw that scene, you should know that no matter how powerful you imagine him to be now, the real situation is far beyond the limits of what you and I can understand."
He thought for a while with narrowed eyes and said, "Okay, although I still don't quite understand, I trust your judgment. So... if he really forms an alliance with Howl and becomes the enemy of Tyrant Army, how do you think we should deal with him?"
Michelle stopped, turned around and stared at the narrowed eyes, and said seriously: "My advice is... Never! Never! Make an enemy of him!"
"What if he insists on being our enemy?" he asked with narrowed eyes.
Michelle thought for a long time, his face becoming paler and paler, but he never spoke and fell into a long silence.
