"What do you want?"
Hong San said in a deep voice, his emotions gradually calming down.
His godson was already dead. It was impossible to save him. He could not afford to offend the Li family unless he found evidence. But was it possible?
The answer was self-evident.
Since that was the case, he might as well think of his own way out first. He was not stupid. Li Xiao obviously came with ill intentions.
"I want you to submit."
Li Xiao's smile disappeared, and his expression became cold again.
Submit!
With a thought, Li Xiao used his Probing Eye to check Hong San.
.........
Name: Hong San
[Ability: An important supporting role in the novel (a major help to the protagonist in the early stages)]
[Strength: Mortal]
[Favorable impression (loyalty): 10]
.........
Ten!
Only ten points!
One had to know that if the favorability was below zero, it meant that he was an enemy, and a life-and-death enemy. From this, one could see how low Hong San's favorability was.
Li Xiao, who possessed the Probing Eye, was not worried that Hong San was pretending to submit. In fact, if he did not want to scheme against Long Tian, Li Xiao would not have wasted so much time. He would have just made Hong San disappear by accident.
Hong San's influence in Eternity City was indeed not low, but underground forces were still underground forces. The underworld could never be compared to the white path. Otherwise, they would not have wanted to clear their names. With the Li family's status in the South Sea Region, Li Xiao only needed a few words to make Hong San a thing of the past.
"Your Li family is powerful, but if you want to make me, Hong San, submit with just a word, isn't that too childish? I, Hong San, won't be scared. At most, I'll die. Anyway, I've lived for decades. I've lived enough. If you really want to kill me, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble if you don't do it well.”
Hong San said calmly.
"Pa. Pa, pa, pa." Li Xiao applauded." Well said."”，Indeed, unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Xiao did not want to destroy the three of them. The world had changed, and fighting and killing were no longer desirable. If he was unlucky and the matter was exposed, it would not be easy for Li Xiao to deal with it.
Li Xiao changed the topic and said with a faint smile,""But why should I kill you myself?”
Hong San seemed to have thought of something as his pupils constricted. He immediately took a deep breath and said,"Don't scare me. Do you have evidence that I broke the law? I started to clear my name 20 years ago. No matter how much trouble your Li family is in, can you still dig out the illegal information that I erased long ago?”
"Oh?"
Li Xiao smiled.
This smile made Hong San feel a little uneasy.
"Mind reading!"
Li Xiao's expression was cold as he muttered in his heart.
Yes, mind reading!
It was the mind-reading skill that he had obtained from the novice gift bag!
Mind reading wasn't to be underestimated. In some aspects, mind reading was definitely a god-level ability. For example, right now.
It was true that Li Xiao had read the entire novel, but a novel was still a novel after all. It was impossible to write everything clearly.
For example, the novel only briefly mentioned what Hong San had done in the past. There was definitely no evidence of Hong San breaking the law. After all, the novel did not represent omniscience.
However, it was different with mind-reading!
With the activation of the mind-reading technique, a mysterious feeling instantly surged into Li Xiao's heart. Hong San's thoughts appeared in his mind.
.........
"Could it be that this kid knows my secret?”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I'm the only one who knows about this.”
"The Li family's power is shocking. They must be extraordinary to be able to rise in just a few decades.”
"Damn it, I shouldn't have stayed back then just to reminisce.”
“......”
“......”
.........
A large number of voices appeared in Li Xiao's mind, and the corners of Li Xiao's mouth curled up.
He didn't know that Hong San had evidence of illegal activities, but he could cheat. With his mind-reading ability, Li Xiao could immediately see through the thoughts of others.
"Eastern Jiujiang, Blue Sea Flower. Villa No. 13, Basement 2." Li Xiao lightly said a few words, and Hong San's expression changed. He looked at Li Xiao in disbelief.
"Do you want me to continue?"
Li Xiao said lightly.
"How is that possible? How did you know? Only I know about this. I didn't tell anyone about the account book.”
Hong San was a little confused. His mind was blank and his thoughts were a little chaotic.
"I'll say it again, surrender or die!”
Li Xiao stood up and looked straight at Hong San. A faint killing intent seemed to have appeared in his cold eyes.
"I surrender."
In the end, Hong San chose to lower his head.
It was better to live a lazy life than to die a good death. If it was possible, who would be willing to die?
Perhaps there was.
But Hong San was not included.
Hong San might not have been afraid of death when he was young, but Hong San, who had enjoyed glory and wealth for decades, had long changed.
"As long as Young Master Li is willing to let me go, I, Hong San, will be the dog of the Li family from now on. I will do whatever the Li family asks me to do.”
Hong San knelt down on one knee and said earnestly.
A backbone?
Don't joke around. Where did the backbone come from? That was only for young people. If the underworld bosses had backbone and principles for decades, Hong San wouldn't have been able to get to where he was today.
