Chapter 7 Ultimatum
He opened the gate and went into the yard to start the motorcycle. Guo Huai looked at the motorcycle, a nostalgic expression appearing on his face. This motorcycle was still quite old, but five or six years ago, it was a brand-name vehicle, rare to see even in Liyang.
The knowledge stored in these memories is merely a database for him, which can be accessed when needed, but it does not truly belong to him. Therefore, through this organization, it can be transformed into something that is genuinely his own, and the efficiency of this transformation is remarkably astonishing
Lian Fanqiang calmed the fear within him; the voice he had just heard was extremely eerie to him. The chill that accompanied the voice, which signified death, penetrated directly to his bones, leaving him speechless for a long time.
Using that money to pay off debts is merely a trivial matter. We can all share it together, donating a portion to the government, allowing us to become citizens and members of the upper class. The remaining money, we could spend our entire lives without exhausting it, and by then, we would lack for nothing.
At that moment, a ringtone suddenly sounded. Guo Huai thought to himself, who would be calling at this time? His parents had long since passed away, and he had no familiar friends at school, rarely using the phone.
This car was bought for him by his parents as a birthday gift. Unfortunately, the circumstances have changed; the car remains, but the person is no longer here. This is also the reason why, despite having money, he is reluctant to change his residence and car. The current home has hardly changed since before his parents passed away.
You coward, didn't you say last night that Guo Huai was nothing? How did it come to this? We are in deep debt from gambling, and if we cannot obtain this money, we will be finished
Guo Huai spoke coldly, and within his words was a breath of death brewing. The voice was akin to that of a devil, leaving the other side in prolonged silence. After several seconds, Guo Huai keenly heard the sounds of an argument on the other end of the phone. Though the voices were faint, Guo Huai's perception was remarkably sharp at that moment, allowing him to catch every word without missing a single one
Once one finds themselves among their own group, these can transform into a powerful force beyond mere transcendence. However, the way he is influenced by rumors at school does not lead anyone to judge him as impolite.
You and I are going to die tomorrow. Tomorrow, in the concrete foundation of a newly built skyscraper in this city, there will be the two of us. You tell him, if he is willing to give, he should give it now; if not, we will go to the temple this morning. Damn it, our brothers died in such a sinister way, all because they encountered that Guo Huai and met with an accident. I refuse to believe that this is not his doing.
At this moment, the doubts about the landing of the explorer's mother's space from last night resurfaced in his mind, leaving him standing silently in front of the motorcycle, lost in thought
Interesting, interesting, in this world, I, Guo Huai, do not provoke anyone, yet there are those who come to provoke me. Originally, I intended to leave this city quietly, but since you want to play with me, I will indulge you in one last grand game.
Seeing Lian Fan's face filled with terror and shivering, someone impatiently asked, "What’s the matter? What are you so afraid of? Even if Guo Huai has some abilities, can he really kill us all? How did he respond to the situation?"
Guo Huai slightly squinted his eyes, gently pressed the phone down, yet did not even leave them the opportunity to make threats. The situation had escalated far beyond his expectations.
Brother Lian Fang thinks the same way, but he is already in hell now. Moreover, Hu Yuan, do you really believe that the temple will intervene for us? I have heard that the temple generally does not handle such matters and will not take action unless there is a significant issue.
Emotion is a character of weak disposition and cowardice, while I stride forward, my strength increasing day by day. Naturally, my words carry a subtle interference of power, which explains the situation that has arisen.
Guo Huai, I advise you one last time, as long as you provide us with one thousand gold dollars, your matter will be considered resolved, and we will no longer pursue it. Otherwise, if we, so many of us, truly make a scene at the temple, it will not be good.
Guo Huai did not expect that a simple sentence of his would have such an effect, frightening that person to the point of appearing as if he had truly seen a ghost. He was not an omnipotent deity, and was unaware that the person had lost control of his bodily functions.
This time, since he, Guo Huai, still dares to be defiant and threatens us, we will take decisive action against him. We will inform him that it is still possible to pay us 10,000 gold coins now. If he does not comply, he should not expect to keep his money, let alone his life. The temple has a strict policy against sorcery, and those found guilty will be publicly burned at the square.
"What will not be accepted? Young Master Zhao said that ordinary matters will certainly not be accepted by the temple. However, if someone uses dark arts to harm others and the impact is so significant, will the temple really not take action?"
He originally thought that some people were merely driven by greed, but he did not anticipate that there was a hidden hand behind these individuals
I have inquired with the lawyer who handled the estate for him, do you know how much it is? One hundred thirty thousand gold yuan, one hundred thirty thousand gold yuan, a sum we could never earn in our lifetime
It was already unbearable, and with the * picture * book, I found myself involuntarily imagining various tragic ways of dying. For a moment, I lost control over my body; a sudden drizzling sound followed by an unpleasant odor revealed that I had lost control over my bowels and bladder, unable to restrain myself.
Hu Yuan, are we really going to say it like this to him?" Lian Ping still felt somewhat unsure, and Hu Yuan waved his hand: "Just say it like this. If he still puts up a front, then later today, all five hundred of us will go to the temple. Let's see if we can't deal with him. What does some ability amount to? What do the children of the transcenders amount to? Look at us, we are all ordinary civilians. As long as we have the capability, we can take him down just the same.
At the Explorer's Home, Guo Huai is able to access information that is generally difficult for Blue Star people to know, and his image cultivation is continuous, which is highly beneficial for his future. He does not blend in much in Liyang, as he stands out distinctly from the crowd.
"Liu Ming, let's not go looking for Guo Huai, okay? He will kill us all." Lian Ping was almost frightened out of his wits; just a single sentence, delivered in a cold tone, made him feel an overwhelming sense of impending death.
On the other end of the phone, a person named Lian Ping was at home talking to him. In his living room, four or five people were seated, all listening to his phone call
It was only at 6:30 that Guo Huai concluded this process. His habit had always been this way; after waking up at 6:00, if there were no pressing matters, he would mostly continue to lie in bed to organize his thoughts, "lingering in bed" until 6:30 before getting up
After listening to the words of the middle-aged man named Hu Yuan, Lian Ping felt somewhat reassured. The situation before him was indeed as Hu Yuan had stated; if he did not obtain the money, he would die tomorrow. Either way, death was inevitable, so he was prepared to take the risk. However, he still had some doubts.
Before walking to the mirror with the books, Guo Huai carefully tidied up his attire, feeling quite spirited and immediately very satisfied; he is a person who places great importance on his image
As long as it is his doing, the temple will naturally provide us with an explanation. At that time, as long as we win the case, the enormous fortune left to him by Guo Huai's parents will rightfully belong to us.
These individuals are akin to a swarm of mosquitoes, causing him no harm whatsoever, yet buzzing around him incessantly every day, constantly seeking to drain his blood. For two long years, this has been a source of great annoyance. They remain oblivious to the fact that their leverage is utterly worthless, and could they even end up being consumed by their own actions
On the table in the living room, there is a set of Mahjong tiles, suggesting that they played Mahjong all night and discussed how to deal with Guo Huai for the entire evening. These individuals are indeed the parties involved from those families.
Having been entangled with Guo Huai for nearly a year and a half, he felt this chill for the first time, making him want to retreat.
We have organized more than 500 people, and when we surround the temple, Minqin, in a fit of anger, will definitely have the temple take action. There has been a similar case in the neighboring Nanyang City.
Lianping, I am giving you one last chance. By six o'clock this evening, you had better all arrive at my doorstep and kneel down to apologize. Otherwise, do not blame me for being impolite.
"I was going to leave this city anyway after the exams, but since you all keep lingering around, don't blame me for what happens next." Guo Huai was plotting in his heart, thinking that if the tiger does not show its power, do you really think it is weak and easy to bully, even weaker than a sick cat?
Regardless, in a few months I will inevitably have to leave here, and in the future, there will likely be few opportunities to return. I need to find a trustworthy person to take care of this house and everything related to it, and it would be acceptable to offer a salary.
Is it the school teacher? Guo Huai took out his phone to take a look, and a faint expression of disgust appeared on his face. He couldn't help but press the button on his phone, and a smug male voice came through.
Previously, they were uncertain whether Guo Huai possessed any malevolent powers. Coupled with their numbers, they believed that Guo Huai could not possibly kill them all, as such actions would have significant repercussions, which Guo Huai could not afford. Therefore, they were not afraid.
After getting up, making the bed, and brushing his teeth and washing his face, Guo Huai opened the refrigerator only to find it completely empty, with nothing inside. It seemed he would have to buy some supplies again, and breakfast could not be eaten at home. Fortunately, there was a noodle shop not far from his house that had good flavors. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his appetite awaken.
He is always so courteous, exuding an indescribable charm. Of course, most people find him to be out of place, with a somewhat bookish demeanor, while some sensitive individuals can sense the deep-seated arrogance that permeates his very being
The lingering presence was truly unsettling, and Guo Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile forming in his heart. His patience with this group of petty individuals had reached its limit.
At six o'clock in the morning, Guo Huai woke up on time and then lay in bed continuing to contemplate various matters, reviewing the numerous soul memories absorbed by Gui Huai, seeking to extract some useful insights from them
It is essential to understand that the first impression in interpersonal interactions is extremely important. Having a good image naturally enhances this impression. This image may not seem applicable at Liyang No. 1 High School; however, regardless of its applicability, it is a good habit. Good habits can lead to a successful life.
However, the previous statement made him feel as if he were facing death itself, which is something an ordinary person could hardly withstand
