901 Bring an artist?
Eros didnât mind the guns pointed at his head at all. His gaze then shifted to the bodyguard beside him.
âDonât look at me like that. I know that your ability is spiritual breakthrough. However, you can try and see if your spiritual breakthrough is faster than my gun.â
just as the bodyguard was shocked by erosâs information, the nano helmet on eros âhead activated. a full-cover invisibility mask, like a honeycomb web of energy, covered his head, isolating any possibility of foreign energy invading.
âAlright, put down your weapons. I just want to talk to your lady.â Eros smiled, indicating that he meant no harm.
However, the Montenegro familyâs men would not listen to the monster thiefâs words. They continued to point their guns at the monster thief while the other aptitude users maintained their peak condition and were ready to attack.
Erosâs ghostly movements and outrageous spear techniques were truly frightening. Furthermore, this guyâs body could switch between illusion and reality.
Even the all-pervasive net of firepower had no effect on him. Now that the young miss was in his hands, she had become a key factor holding them back.
Eros poked Xiaâs face with the gun. âBlack sister, youâre a smart person. i heard that youâve made a lot of achievements in business investment, so iâm here to ask you for advice.â
Xia frowned. She didnât like being called âblack sister.â
But erosâs performance just now was still beyond her expectations.
After some assessment, she believed that everyone here combined wouldnât be a match for eros.
Although eros said that he was here to ask for advice, judging from the fact that he had set up an ambush here in advance, it was very likely that the â sudden visit â of the mining conglomerate this time was the work of this strange thief. It was obvious that it would not be as simple as âasking for adviceâ when they came out to reap the benefits after both of them were wounded.
âAll of you, put down your weapons. If he really wants to make a move, thereâs nothing we can do.â
He wouldnât be able to get any answers by blindly groping around. What Xia needed to do now was to communicate with eros and find out his true motive.
âYoung lady, is it Zhenzhen?â
Before the bodyguard could finish, Xia interrupted him. since you donât even listen to orders, then just do it. My life and death have no value at all.
After hesitating for a while, the bodyguard waved his hand to signal everyone to put down their weapons. At the same time, the energy condensed around the mental ability user also dissipated.
âItâs still young miss who is sensible. If you guys had a little bit of brain, you wouldnât have ended up like this. What was the most important thing in a chaotic space Port? was it fighting and killing? No, itâs the ways of the world!â
Eros ridiculed the crowd, full of mockery.
â iâve done everything you asked me to do, â xia said after taking a deep breath. â now can you tell me the real purpose of your visit? â
I have some spare cash on hand, â eros said. I donât know what I should invest in to get the right returns.
âAre you really asking for advice?â Xia asked after a moment of consideration.
uh-huh, you think Iâm joking? â
âwhy me?â Xia Yi couldnât figure it out. He set up such a trap and offended the Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate just to ask about investment and financial management?
â didnât the small and medium factions in starport brag that youâre the future hope of the Montenegro family and the most outstanding heir? â eros said matter-of-factly. â if they didnât look for you, who else would they look for? your father? â
Xia heaved a sigh of relief. He did not know if he should be proud of himself or admit that he was unlucky.
if you invest normally, you can get a lot of benefits by buying shares in any small force or family in the starport.
Oh, Iâm sorry, I forgot. Youâve already offended all the small and medium-sized families in Stellaris port. They wonât provide you with investment services.
Xia answered his own question, pointing out the fact that eros was surrounded by enemies.
The surrounding subordinates all broke out in cold sweat. Miss was walking on a tightrope! erosâs personality was evil and fickle, and ordinary people could not measure it.
The young ladyâs provocation would easily anger the other party.
sigh, youâre just a little woman with a sharp tongue. It seems that you donât have the wisdom that the rumors say. You only know how to pester endlessly. Eros sighed and shook his head. His expression was filled with disappointment towards this dark-skinned girl.
Xia remained unmoved and replied,âI donât dare to have such wisdom.â youâre just trying to get the Montenegro family to help you manage the money, but once the news is leaked, the Black Mountain family will become the enemy of all the small and medium-sized family forces in Star Harbor. Theyâll be on the opposite side of everyone, which is no different from a disaster for the family. I canât help you.
This time, erosâs expression brightened up, and there was a hint of approval in his expression.
Although he didnât say it out loud, Xia had already guessed his thoughts.
Doing business with eros was like asking a Tiger for its skin.
âI take back what I said just now. Youâre quite smart, seeing through my thoughts with one look. However, Iâve already anticipated that youâd refuse, so I came up with a second plan.â
xia suddenly reacted and said in a firm tone, â âDream on! Donât try to force the family to operate your funds by threatening me! Even if I die, I wonât let you have your way!â
âHehe ~ black sis, do you think big miss is stupid? Youâre already in my hands, why do you think I have to pay for the capital?â Eros couldnât help but laugh. Was this the confidence in the bones of the starport family? their first reaction when considering a matter would definitely not let themselves suffer a loss. They were really Grandet, who was deep in their bones!
After saying that, eros raised his streamlined gun and flicked Xiaâs head.
At the same time that eros threw the gun, the bodyguards of the Montenegro family also moved.
The tiny gun hidden in his sleeve aimed at eros and fired without hesitation.
Even the telekinesis user, who had his back to him, stared at eros with the help of a mirror and instantly activated his ability!
however, eros entered his ethereal state at the same time. his body turned into red and black smoke, and he began to spin and jump with dark-skinned summer.
Like a ghost, the cyclone rotated and shot out secretly-made alchemy bullets, knocking down the spellcaster and the bodyguard one by one.
Bang! Bang!
Eros reappeared on an empty console and kicked a dumbfounded operator to the ground.
Of course, in his arms was also the indignant black sister Xia.
Eros glanced at the members of the Montenegro family who were groaning in pain on the ground. He sighed and said in an old and experienced tone, â youâre still putting on airs in front of me with your little schemes. Youâre really showing off your big knives in front of the Duke of Guan!
âI thought you were kind with a black face, but I didnât expect you to have a Black Heart! Youâre already in my hands, yet you still want to play tricks. I really donât know if I should call you smart or stupid.â
Erosâs voice had a hint of adoration for Xia, sounding like an infatuated or lecherous old man.
As he said that, he gradually moved closer to Xiaâs earlobe and breathed gently.
An indescribable numbing sensation, like an invisible hand, was rubbing the most sensitive part behind the ear.
Furthermore, Xia felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, moving up from his waist and abdomen, and soon reaching the important parts in front of him.
No matter how dark Xiaâs skin color was, at this moment, one could still see a lot of red.
Ever since she was young, no one had ever teased her before, let alone in such an embarrassing way.
However, Xia gritted her teeth and remained calm, even though her psychological defense was on the verge of collapse.
At that moment, a voice rang in erosâs ears.
âBoss, the mission on the planet has ended. Itâs time to eat meat.â his subordinateâs voice rang in his ear.
Erosâs thoughts suddenly stopped, like a manâs spell being forcefully interrupted. The feeling of not being able to go up or down was driving him crazy.
âWoof! Alright, I know!â
Erosâs expression was dark and unsightly as he poked Xiaâs chubby cheeks with the gun. âalright, iâll stop joking with you.â
âEveryone, I now officially declare that you are all my captives.â
âAlso, eldest miss, please think about the price that the Montenegro family is prepared to offer to cooperate with our monster thief Army. Iâm a straightforward person and donât like to haggle, so your father only has one chance to bid. I hope he can be as wise as you.â
With that, eros raised his chin, signaling for everyone to line up and leave.
The hostages were transferred very quickly. After all, the princess was in their hands, and eros had already demonstrated his ghostly movements and terrifying spear skills twice. The Montenegro family had no chance of winning.
after a series of obscenities, the other party revealed their true purpose, which was to kidnap and ransom.
even though eros used the word âcooperationâ to replace the ransom, it didnât change the nature of the thief.
of course, the Montenegro family wasnât worried about the ransom right now. they were worried about erosâs tricks and words.
The eldest young miss had been well protected since she was young and had undergone many family training. She was definitely a qualified heir.
But because of this, he had lost a lot of experience.
The most important thing was the relationship experience.
Regardless of whether it was the other families or the members of the family, they all treated Xia with respect.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now that sheâd met such a frivolous and handsome man like eros, how could a young lady with a blank mind about love be able to withstand his sweet words?
The family members were most worried about losing both their wealth and manpower.
If the ransom was paid and he didnât come back, then the Montenegro family would be finished!
After gathering all the hostages on the heart arsonist, eros gave Xia and the mining union director each a communication device.
âYou canât be so rude to prisoners. What did I teach you? What weâre doing is kidnapping, not abuse. Donât you have such basic knowledge?â Eros looked at the two people who were tied up and frowned.
His subordinates quickly went forward to untie Xia and the mining conglomerateâs member, but they were interrupted by eros.
thereâs nothing wrong with being gentle to untie a lady, but who the hell is that thing next to her? why should I untie him? â
The subordinate was stunned and turned to ask his boss, â âThen we wonât untie this one?â
The mining conglomerateâs representative said with a sobbing tone,ââPlease untie me, Iâll give you more money!â
youâre giving me more money, right? okay, arrange it ~âeros chuckled and personally walked up to flirt with her.
Then, he untied the rope from Xiaâs body and tied it to the committee member.
this time, the restraint was even tighter.
âBastard, what kind of person do you think I, eros, am? You actually want to use money to buy me over?â
âAlright, call for help now and see how much money your forces are willing to pay to redeem you. You must know that the living supplies on our ship are very expensive. The price for each meal is the same.â
Since he only wanted money, Xia weighed the pros and cons and decided to give it to him.
No matter from which point of view, this future leader that he had spent a huge amount of money to cultivate was already tied to the rise of the Montenegro family, and there must be no mistakes.
on the other side, the tied-up member also whimpered and asked for help from the mining union.
In erosâs mind, Xia was at least worth a few million, right? she was the pearl in the palm of the Montenegro family and the leader of the younger generation of the small and medium-sized family forces in star harbor. if the black mountain family was not even willing to pay this little money, it would be short-lived.
the other committee member, based on his position in the joint mining, could only gather three to four million.
The profits from this trip were in the tens of millions, enough for him to eat and drink for a while.
With this money, he could buy the big treasure that he had been longing for.
After learning that their young lady had been kidnapped by eros, the Montenegro family made a bid without hesitation.
it was a very sincere price, twelve million! It was much higher than what eros had expected, and he was very satisfied.
The more he looked at this dark-skinned girl, the more he found her pleasing to the eye. He couldnât help but pinch her cheeks that still had some baby fat.
He rubbed and twisted his claws, feeling very happy.
Another member of the mining conglomerate also offered the same price as expected, with a total of 4.5 million.
Eros could tell that this guy really didnât have a drop left.
âsigh, iâve never pinched such a nice face before. Although itâs a little black, itâs really nice to touch.â
âIâm suddenly regretting it now. What if I canât touch you after putting you back?â
âBy the way, can I go to your house and pinch your face when Iâm free?â
Eros sat in front of Xia, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
Xia was being controlled by someone else, and his face was being pinched like this. He felt very humiliated, but when he felt the other partyâs burning gaze, he felt a little strange.
She thought about it and realized that although this guy was flirtatious with his words, he did not seem to have done anything overboard to her.
Of course, other than the flick on her forehead that sealed her ability. The initial wave of mutual understanding between the Montenegro family and the ultimate rescue had vanished into thin air.
this guyâs actions were all intentional, but she couldnât guess yingying at all.
after the price was settled, it was time to return.
Eros wasnât afraid of what the two factions could do to him after he returned to Stellaris.
In any case, he had already offended countless forces, and these two were no exception. Besides, as long as he took the money, he could just slip away.
The fanciful arsonistâs engine started and they began to return to the city.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the public channel.
heart arsonist, please slow down and stop. Iâm link from the umbrella Foundation. Please board the ship.
the umbrella foundation? what the hell? Never heard of it!
Iâll tell you what happened. but before he could say the word â f * ck, â eros saw through the camera a large flying device wrapped in dragon bones.
The flying deviceâs spirit energy surged. The spirit energy cannons had already finished accumulating energy and were all aimed at his destroyer.
Such a behemoth had actually appeared behind him without a sound, and there was an indescribable sense of terrifying oppression.
the brightness of all the portholeâs windows decreased visibly, and they were all enshrouded under the black throne.
