"My hotel doesn't welcome people like you.”
Although she was amazed by Gu Xuan's actions and courage, she was not willing to be in a relationship with him. After all, in her eyes, Gu Xuan was not the same as her. She did not admire a person who could even kill his own companion.
"I know you don't welcome me, but I came here today to discuss a business deal with you."”
Xia Qi said bluntly," I'm just the owner of a small hotel. I have no business to discuss with a big shot like you who has caused a sensation in the world. Are you going to tie your hands and ask me to hand you over to the navy in exchange for a reward?"”
" It's not impossible if you want to," Gu Xuan said." However, I'm afraid that you might not be able to do it alone. Why don't you call out 'Nether King' Mr. Riley as well?"”
"Kid, you really know a lot.”
Xia Qi's heart was already filled with killing intent. She did not expect a pirate who had defected from the White Beard Pirates to know so much. It was fine if he knew her identity, but now, even Riley knew about it. After all, the two of them had lived in seclusion here for decades and had never been discovered. Even White Beard did not know about it. She did not know how Gu Xuan knew about it.
A smile hung on Gu Xuan's face as he said,"Now can we talk about the one billion Bailey business?”
Xia Qi took a deep breath and suppressed the killing intent in her heart. She asked,""You used the Heavenly Dragon people as a bargaining chip and asked the World Government for one billion Bailey. This is your business, what does it have to do with me?”
"Of course, it's because I don't have any way to get this one billion Bailey safely, so I urgently need a partner. As long as you agree, I can give you 100 million Bailey."”
"Hehehe."
Xia Qi couldn't help but chuckle." You want to cooperate with me, but you only give me 100 million Bailey. Do you think I'll agree?"”
Gu Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said," The more you work, the more you get. After all, I took a huge risk to get this vote. You only contributed a small part of the effort. It's already not bad to get 100 million Bailey easily. Of course, if you think it's too little, I have a way. I promise to give you half, but the prerequisite is that I'll give you half of the crime of robbing the Heavenly Dragon people. How about it?”
Xia Qi rolled her eyes at him and said," You want me to share your burden? Dream on. I don't want to get involved in this whirlpool. Kid, you should go find someone else."”
"Don't be in a hurry to reject," Gu Xuan said,"listen to my suggestion first."”
"It's not easy to get one billion Bailey from the World Government. I don't have the ability to contact them now. For safety reasons, I can only think of other ways.”
"So you came to me?" Xia Qi asked. Do you think I'll help you? Just for 100 million Bailey?"
Gu Xuan said," We can still discuss the price. Anyway, we have to contact them first. If it really doesn't work out, I'll add another billion Bailey. I believe the World Government will definitely agree."”
"You're really scheming, but why should I believe you?" Xia Qi said. "You can even betray and kill your own companions. If we cooperate with you, not only will we offend the World Government, but we will also offend the White Beard Pirates. It's fine if we work with the World Government, but we also have a friendship with White Beard. We don't want to have a conflict with him because of you.”
Gu Xuan smiled faintly and said," That will depend on how you weigh the pros and cons. I don't need you to do anything, as long as you help me pass the message. This shouldn't be too big of a problem for you, right? Furthermore, isn't it interesting to make a move on the Heavenly Dragon people?”
"There's no need to say anything. I won't agree to it, but I won't report you either.”Xia Qi flatly refused.
"Since I came here today, I never thought of returning empty-handed."”
Xia Qi's eyes were cold." Kid, I advise you not to push your luck. My patience has a limit. You'd better not challenge my patience."”
"What if I want to do that?"
Before Gu Xuan came, he had never thought of settling this easily. There was no so-called morality between pirates. Did they really think that pirates would be as hot-blooded and righteous as in anime? That was all a lie. The real world of pirates was filled with blood and slaughter. Sometimes, even their relatives and brothers would kill them, not to mention that they were just strangers who had just met for the first time.
Perhaps some pirate groups were loyal, but that was an absolute minority. Most of them were united for benefits.
Xia Qi said coldly," Kid, when I debuted, your mother wasn't even born yet. Be sensible and get lost."”
Murderous aura emanated from her body. Although she had not been a pirate for many years, she was still a great pirate who was hunted down by Karp. Her strength was naturally extremely powerful, and her murderous aura was almost tangible.
However, Gu Xuan was not someone to be trifled with. The aura he exuded was as sharp as lightning.
"Mom is the person I respect the most in my life. No one can insult her.”
Both sides were filled with killing intent.
"Hey, that brat called Gu Xuan, you better think carefully. If we were to attack here, who would be the one injured? At most, we can just go somewhere else, but you're different. Once you're exposed, it won't be so easy for you to become invisible again.”
A rough and loud voice rang out. Gu Xuan turned around and saw an old man dressed casually in cropped pants and a blue shirt walking out from the back kitchen of the hotel. This old man's hair and beard were all silver, and he wore glasses. There was an obvious straight scar on his right eye.
"Hades, Riley?" Gu Xuan probed.
'Hades' Lei was a big shot from more than 20 years ago. He had disappeared from the public's sight for more than 20 years. Although Gu Xuan knew of his existence, he had never seen him before. However, he appeared here, and his appearance matched. His tone was so domineering. Other than 'Hades' Lei, there was no one else.
Riley chuckled." You're really something, little guy. You can recognize an old man like me. Looking at your age, you haven't been in the White Beard Pirates for long, right?”
"I joined ten years ago. As for why I can recognize you, there's no need to explain."”
Riley nodded and said," I've heard about you. You're amazing. You robbed the Heavenly Dragon people and demanded ransom from the World Government. This is definitely the first time you've done this. Even an old man like me who's about to be buried is impressed.”
Gu Xuan said," To put it another way, it can also be said that all of you are cursing me in your hearts right now as an idiot. I actually did such a stupid thing. I'm afraid I'm not far from death, right?”
