Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 414: Chapter 271: War Begins

Inner hall.

Su Huan put down his foot, leaned forward with his tall body, and wore a faint smile on his lips, ”I’m curious, what can you talk to me about?”

After his ex-wife and daughter had both left, Mr. Shu’s last remaining gentle facade was torn away.

”You’re dying soon.”

Su Huan raised an eyebrow and snickered, ”The last person who told me this has grass growing three meters high on their grave.”

Mr. Shu calmly replied, ”I know you’re a Tier Two Evolver. Indeed, as of now, you’ve surpassed countless others and are a standout in the wave of evolution. But you can see, such Tier Two Evolvers are not rare in a force of our Black Kite’s level.”

”If you intend to rely on that, I’m afraid it won’t be enough.”

Su Huan suddenly leaped across the coffee table and stopped abruptly only 30 centimeters from Mr. Shu, his gaze filled with realization.

”So it was him who gave you the courage to approach me.”

A butler in a tailcoat silently appeared behind Su Huan, holding a slender rapier aimed right at the back of Su Huan’s head.

Mr. Shu calmly said, ”This isn’t a threat; it’s merely a safeguard for our negotiation. After all, I’m just an aging ordinary man. I don’t want Shu Xiaotiao to lose her boyfriend over this, and you wouldn’t want her to lose a father, would you?”

”Hmm, makes sense.” Su Huan sat back on the sofa. ”I’m eager to hear your terms.”

Seeing Su Huan so perceptive, Mr. Shu’s expression slightly softened, ”I won’t interfere with you and Shu Xiaotiao, but you must understand the feelings of a father. If your relationship goes smoothly, I’ll host a wedding for you both in the near future, and then we’ll be family...”

”But—”

”The Armed Train must become a subordinate force of Black Kite.”

”Not bad, go on.”

Mr. Shu smiled, ”That’s it; those are all the terms.”

Su Huan’s lips unconsciously curled up.

”That’s it?”

”Does that mean from now on, I won’t have to fight and will bask in endless luxury just by waking up naturally every day?”

Mr. Shu slightly frowned, ”In theory, the company will provide suitable work for everyone, but everyone’s worth varies. Some may need to perform repetitive tasks, while others will have to make more intelligent decisions...”

”Endless luxury isn’t likely, but your benefits will definitely be higher than most in the company.”

Su Huan asked curiously, ”I won’t occasionally have to donate some blood, cut a slice of flesh, and hand over the Crown Pear tree?”

Mr. Shu picked up the odd tone in his voice and his expression gradually turned cold.

”You have no idea how immense a fortune evolution plants that boost vitality and the two Genetic Primordials are.”

”You can’t keep it!”

With Mr. Shu’s rise, the lights in the whole inner hall suddenly brightened.

The partition of the box was pulled open by the waiter.

Zhong You and Han Lie stood one on the left and one on the right, with the butler holding the rapier, forming a triangle that surrounded Su Huan.

The young people standing far away, each holding champagne, their eyes filled with mockery and urgency, as if celebrating an impending feast.

Coupled with the small band to the side, everything was so elegant, so perfect.

Bao Qingqing was slightly disappointed not to see Shu Wei in the box.

But thinking that this man would soon submit at Mr. Shu’s feet, she was very curious what expression Shu Wei would display upon seeing this scene upon her return.

The only thing irksome was that Su Huan was completely illuminated by the lights at the moment.

Yet he looked as if nothing was wrong, lazily leaning on the sofa with one hand supporting his cheek, glancing sideways at them.

It’s as if he were the master here.

”Whether I can keep it or not is not for Mr. Shu to worry about.”

”Click, click, click...”

A series of high-heeled shoes clicked in.

Bao Qingqing saw the undisguised admiration in Zhong You’s eyes and couldn’t help but turn back,

only to be instantly stunned on the spot.

The eyes of all the men present were involuntarily drawn to the tall silhouette.

Shu Wei had changed from tactical attire into a deep-colored silk mermaid dress, accentuating stunning curves that took their breath away.

Her long hair was elegantly coiled into a refined bun, and only her right ear was adorned with a diamond tassel earring, not stealing the visual focus but enhancing her exquisitely beautiful features.

Every step of her high heels seemed to tread upon the hearts of all present.

(Shu Wei, in evening gown)

All the waiters instinctively made way for her.

Without any superpower, Shu Wei, with her queenly aura, wedged herself into the box room.

Mr. Shu frowned, ”This is a negotiation between Black Kite and the Armed Train. It’s none of your business.”

But Shu Wei ignored Mr. Shu’s implication, standing beside the sofa, in the horrified gazes, knelt on one knee, and bowed respectfully.

”Conductor, it’s getting late, we should leave.”

The daring low-back mermaid design on her dress extended boldly down to her lower back, and under the lights, her ivory skin radiated a nacreous sheen, like moonlit satin.

”Your dad said if I stay, he’d give you to me.”

Shu Wei lowered her gaze calmly, ”Whether you stay or not isn’t up to him.”

Mr. Shu’s eyes grew even darker as he glanced across to see his ex-wife, who had followed their daughter’s footsteps out, wearing a similarly displeased expression.

The heiress of Black Kite’s number three board member, actually bowing down to a wild man.

Shu Wei’s action was akin to stomping on Mr. Shu’s pride!
