Chapter 1045: Chapter 911: Binding

Collins spoke very directly, with a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, leaving no room for refusal.

However, Xijiesi is ultimately Supreme, and he has his own judgment in actions, impossible to be easily coerced.

After pondering, he straightforwardly shook his head, ”Sorry, the Taiping Trading Group is not just mine!”

In fact, he holds some suspicion regarding the friendship of the big shot opposite him.

But the key issue is, ”I need to know your motives for taking action, and what the specific operations are...”

Seeing the other party shake their head, he waved his hand and continued, ”Don’t rush to refuse.”

”Otherwise, I can completely use this information to gain the friendship of Ping’an, and I’m serious.”

Collins was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression turning complex, then he asked with a harsh tone.

”Sir, are you sure... you really want to make this choice?”

Xijiesi shook his head, expressing indifferently, ”Don’t threaten me, that won’t work, I’m Supreme, if I can’t win, I can always flee.”

”Taiping is a trading group, it focuses the most on interests and logic, we can even accept losses, but the losses must be clear!”

With such firmness, Collins found himself troubled, even though his backing was strong, without their presence, he had no way.

He raised a hand to touch his forehead and replied gloomily, ”Motives... you should know, it’s like the Scavenger’s actions.”

Xijiesi indeed knew Collins’ motives for action, it was said that the military high-ups exerted pressure.

But he wasn’t quite convinced by these words, are you using a widely known reason just to fool me?

He slowly shook his head, ”A mere Water Attribute B-level, haha... I want more than just motives, I need the specific operations.”

Collins showed a hint of difficulty on his face, ”Lord Xijiesi, I don’t want to focus on this matter... I’m not clear on the specific operations either.”

Strictly speaking, his qualifications weren’t enough to know, and his high-ranking backer didn’t want him drawn into such matters.

”Then I apologize,” Xijiesi set down his cup, gesturing to leave, ”I shall take my leave.”

”Fine,” Collins sighed in distress, flipping his wrist to reveal a storage device.

He explained gloomily, ”This contains some hidden information, I’ve never opened it, the password is...”

Xijiesi raised his hand to capture the storage device, took out a terminal, ”Let’s look together.”

The opposite party wants to distance themselves, but is it so easy?

Even if there’s very private content, after viewing it, he would have to comply with the other party’s instructions, he would need a scapegoat!

The storage device was sealed, and once opened it couldn’t be restored.

Its contents weren’t much, mainly analysis about that mysterious force.

Unsure whether the pressure from the big shot or the Scavenger’s force was significant, the intelligence described it quite thoroughly.

It even detailed the encounter between Collins and Kopache.

The quantity and attributes of Supreme need no mention, even an Electromagnetic Supreme’s adoption of the Wind Attribute Body Technique was clearly stated.

The intelligence analyzed that not only was this force strong, it likely had very advanced cultivation philosophies.

Of course, the death of the B-level Water Attribute was also detailed—this person should be a descendant of Imperial Storm.

However, just as Xijiesi thought, this wasn’t the focal point.

The focus was—the other party had just purchased a large computational unit, with a total amount as high as sixteen billion!

Large computational units are fundamentally controlled resources of the Empire, not to mention that the purchaser might possess very advanced cultivation theories.

In fact, such a large computation unit is not only incredibly expensive, but its computational power also far exceeds the imagination of normal individuals.

So they are very curious, what does this force intend to calculate?

The death of a Water Attribute B-level was merely a trigger, what the other side intends to calculate might threaten Empire’s security!

Due to this purpose, Collins’ backer decided to carry out a detailed investigation!

Considering the opposing party’s formidable and mysterious power, they decided not to act directly but plan to install a backdoor in the computational unit.

As for adding backdoors... how to say... such equipment of this scale inherently has backdoors.

However, there is news that Ping’an already has some greedy individuals sorted out.

Once the equipment is transported to Purple Star, during installation and adjustment, the backdoor will be locked.

Ping’an’s operation is clearly illegal, but the issue is... backdoors are inherently against regulations.

The Empire can secretly execute such actions but cannot discuss them openly.

Of course, Ping’an can bribe certain individuals, others can similarly bribe or exert pressure.

Still, the issue is, Collins’ backing doesn’t want to alert the other party, preferring covert operations.

Moreover, a trading group as large as Ping’an should have relatively comprehensive detection methods, able to connect with relevant technical personnel.

Thus, creating a conflict with Ping’an to divert most people’s attention ensures the implementation of this plan.

After reading the content, Xijiesi frowned, cursing inwardly, but only managed a cold laugh, ”Haha, Empire’s security?”

He finally understood, the idea of Imperial Storm is to investigate first, and if it’s worth it, grasp and snatch.

Empire’s security... just listen to it, isn’t everyone just looking for benefits?

But now, actually pushing Taiping to the forefront as a decoy, how could Xijiesi feel okay about it!

Honestly speaking, after knowing the involved matters, his first reaction was: Taiping shouldn’t meddle in this!

Businessmen should just do business properly, why get involved in these dangerous things?

But now, with his persistence, he got the real information, but wanting to pull out... it’s too late!

Regret? Not really, since he was mentally prepared for the worst when he initially invited Duoduo to watch together.

At this moment, he truly regretted: How could Taiping have been so blind back then, wanting to acquire Ping’an for a bit of profit?

If this matter hadn’t been the cause, they wouldn’t be in the current predicament of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

After watching the news, Duoduo’s face also turned a bit pale, she wasn’t just a pretty face who only knew how to sing.

With a mind that’s lacking, relying solely on resources to pile up, how could she reach A-level?

But quickly, she adjusted her emotions, ”Yes, for the safety of the Imperial, Taiping must be entrusted.”

Do you believe that yourself? Xijiesi expressed with a blank face.

”Creating chaos... Taiping is not particularly skilled in that, it could completely be done by some people in society.”

Duoduo replied lightly, ”Then what about the motive? You don’t need a reason to deal with Ping’an.”

Xijiesi looked at her coldly, ”But we might be in trouble, if something happens, will we have your side’s experts supporting us?”

Duoduo thought for a while and slowly shook her head, ”I don’t have the qualification to promise anything, but sir, can you still withdraw now?”

”Haha,” Xijiesi laughed bitterly, ”it’s like you forgot, you also know a bit too much.”

”It doesn’t matter to me,” Duoduo shrugged her hands, looking calm, she already had it figured out.

”I’m just a messenger, and I have someone protecting me... as long as I don’t say anything, there won’t be any danger.”

”Haha, is this the confidence of having someone behind you?” Xijiesi stood up expressionless,

then he raised his hand, and an ice arrow directly pierced through the neck of a nearby B-level middle-aged woman.

The woman clutched her throat, making low wheezing sounds, then slowly fell to the ground, eyes full of surprise.

She clearly didn’t expect a Supreme Council to suddenly attack her—she was Duoduo’s most trusted person!

Her last glance was towards Duoduo, the intent of seeking help was obvious.

But Duoduo couldn’t care less about her, instead, she looked woodenly at Xijiesi.

Her face instantly turned pale, ”You, sir, what do you want to do?”

”Haha,” Xijiesi sneered coldly as he walked towards the door, ”she knew too much!”

He had a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent, and couldn’t attack Duoduo, he could only randomly kill someone to vent his anger.

Duoduo just sat there quietly, not reacting at all.

After a while, a maid walked in, seeing the middle-aged woman in the pool of blood with one glance.

She didn’t scream, having experienced too many strange things with Duoduo, she just lowered her voice to ask, ”This is?”

”She offended the Supreme,” Duoduo answered expressionlessly, ”No need to spread this matter.”

The maid plucked up the courage to ask, ”Should we call a doctor?”

The Imperial’s technology level is indeed very advanced, and B-level’s life force is more resilient than ordinary people.

Duoduo frowned a bit, thought about it, then shook her head and sighed, ”Forget it, I don’t have the guts to provoke the Supreme.”

Then she spoke solemnly, ”Go arrange this, randomly select two lucky fans to have dinner with me.”

”Okay,” the maid glanced at the middle-aged maid again, turned and left, feeling with some regret.

This was the person the young lady trusted most, yet even the young lady couldn’t protect her under the pressure of the Supreme!

Under the Supreme, everyone is an ant, this saying is really true...

Two days later, more people started doing small acts against Ping’an, the matter wasn’t big, but the feeling was off.

Two more days passed, and relevant intelligence was delivered to the headquarters.

Jilt received the intelligence, feeling a bit odd, ”Taiping’s people... are they crazy?”

All signs have indicated that Taiping is one of the culprits against Ping’an, even possibly the biggest mastermind behind it.

Jilt temporarily not moving against Taiping is indeed due to comprehensive considerations.

A person truly can’t control themselves in Jianghu, once you become a businessman, it’s hard to act rashly and satisfyingly avenge grudges.

However, this grudge can’t just be brushed aside, eventually, Ping’an will have to deal with Taiping.

Just how to deal with it, Jilt hadn’t figured out yet.

Anyway, unless absolutely necessary, he would never lightly use that power, the Guardian Fee isn’t omnipotent.

Handle it yourself if you can, if it’s unbearable, then it’s not too late to ask for help, use the good steel on the blade!

So he said straightforwardly, ”All departments stay vigilant, try to find out what the other side is planning.”

For this bit of anomaly, he didn’t even let anyone tell Duoduo—really no need to disturb those important people.
