Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 118 Negotiation and Threats

This time, Lily shook her head.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xi asked, puzzled, seeing Baihe shake her head. "Didn't you sense it?"

According to Rose, her perception of destiny covers the entire planet. Lily's magical properties are exactly the same as Rose's, so surely it's not like a few ordinary people can't perceive her?

"It's not that we can't sense it, it's just that there are too many people," Lily shook her head. "Just in Dachang City alone, if it involves people, there are hundreds of thousands..."

"More than 100,000 people?" Luo Xi's expression shifted. Dachang City has more than 9 million people, nearly 10 million. If only a few hundred thousand people had drained the blood of nearly 10 million people... Luo Xi's killing intent surged even more.

The system in this world is still in a rudimentary stage. According to a theory from the previous life, the top power holders should be around 1%, but they already control 99% of the world's means of production and resources.

"Are you going to kill hundreds of thousands of people?" Lily asked her seriously, her smile gone.

"..." Luo Xi paused for a moment, then turned to Fang Wei, the person in charge of Dachang City, and said, "Give me the list of people you consider to be obstacles."

A fleeting look of joy crossed Fang Wei's face, which Luo Xi clearly noticed. She immediately reminded him, "This power of life and death is something I've given you. Both I and the witches on my side will support you."

"However, if you want to use me as a tool to kill someone else... you'll have to bear the consequences." Luo Xi sneered.

Fang Wei immediately stood up, a surge of fighting spirit emanating from him. "There's no need. Even if we strictly follow your orders, they can still make a profit while ensuring their original wages are paid..."

"But they are really ugly."

"With a 20% profit, it becomes active; with a 50% profit, it takes risks; for a 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; with a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking being hanged."

As Fang Wei spoke, he walked into another room and took out a list from the safe.

"This is the list I compiled. It includes information on the leaders and senior personnel of the Yang Group, Luo Group, Cameron Group, and Morgan family," Fang Wei said, his previous dejected look gone and his tone chilling. "Kill them all. Not a single one will be wrong."

"..." He handed the list to Lily. "Lily, take a look for me and use your destiny perception to confirm. Don't let me kill the wrong person."

Lily held the list for a long time before finally finishing reading it. "The people on the list all meet your requirements. There's no problem."

"How far away are the farthest person and the nearest person from us?" Luo Xi asked, puzzled.

"The furthest is over two thousand kilometers away, and the closest... wait? Only a hundred meters?" Lily became a little unsure of herself.

"Ding-a-ling..." At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Looking at Fang Wei, who showed a hint of apology, Luo Xi was about to refuse the guest when Luo Xi simply shook her head. "It's not appropriate to refuse guests so casually."

Fang Wei smiled and actually went to greet them personally.

Luo Xi remained calm and used her magic to move two chairs for Baihe and Le Tong to sit down, while she stood by the window and watched silently.

"Dear Fang, the view here is really great!" The voice arrived before the person, carrying an accent that was clearly not local, so she was probably not a native of Dachang City.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, there was a blond man. He walked straight to the head seat, sat down casually, spread his arms and put them on the back of the chair, taking up the entire seat.

"I say, dear Fang, this isn't like you at all," he said, leaning forward slightly, his gaze sweeping over Baihe, Yue Tong, and Luo Xi by the window, his tone drawn out, "Your wife and daughter just left, and you've already brought three ladies to keep you company?"

Feeling a bit disgusted by the man's gaze, Luo Xi glanced at Fang Wei, who entered afterward.

"This is Mr. Henry Morgan of the Morgan family," Fang Wei introduced him with a cold, forced smile.

"Three beautiful ladies," Morgan smiled deliberately, gave a slightly exaggerated bow in a gesture of gentlemanly courtesy, "would you have the honor of sharing a drink with me tonight?"

"These three are not people you can afford to offend," Fang Wei sneered, pulling Morgan aside. "Show some respect to my guests!"

Hearing Fang Wei's words, Morgan looked at them even more brazenly, "Dear Fang, are there any people in this city we can't afford to offend?"

Lily and Yue Tong remained silent, while Luo Xi simply observed coldly.

Morgan smoothed his blond hair and feigned friendliness, "Dear Fang, let's cooperate. We've already invited your wife and daughters, whom you sent overseas, to our hotel."

Fang Wei's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "We have a saying here: women are like clothes. If you lose your wife, you can marry again; if you lose your daughter, you can have another one..."

"My dear Fang, if you really didn't care about your wife and daughters, then you wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to send them overseas in such a clandestine way," Morgan laughed unabashedly. "Our conditions are simple: not a single penny of the Morgan family's assets in Dachang City can be reduced."

"What are their family's main businesses?" Luo Xi suddenly asked, her tone calm.

“Manufacturing, medical services, financial services,” Fang Wei immediately chimed in, speaking a little faster, “The most difficult to handle is medical services; some of their technologies… cannot be replaced at present.”

"Are your wife and daughters safe?" Luo Xi then asked.

"As long as they still want to talk, they won't be in any immediate danger," Fang Wei said with a wry smile.

"My dear Fang, it seems you don't entirely believe me," Morgan said, flashing that unsettling smile again, as he pulled out his phone and made a video call. "Why don't you... speak to your wife and daughter yourself?"

Fang Wei's expression remained unchanged. He calmly took the phone and said gently to the other end of the screen, "Wife, daughter, don't be afraid. Be a good guest at our guests' place."

Luo Xi smiled. She hated nothing more than someone threatening her with their family, and she also loathed someone threatening others with their family. Since she had encountered such a situation, she couldn't just sit idly by.

"Governor Fang, it seems you have something to discuss. There's plenty of time, we'll meet again another day," Luo Xi said, then gave Baihe and Le Tong a wink. "Let's go."

Fang Wei nodded and did not see them off.

As soon as Luo Xi and his group stepped out the door, Luo Xi looked at Baihe and said, "Use your Destiny Perception to see where Fang Wei's wife and daughter are."

"More than 10 kilometers away." Lily looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Luo Xi was equally puzzled. "Since we're so close, let's go save them first."

The lilies released their magic, and vines covered their bodies again. After three teleportations, they arrived in front of a woman and a little girl.

Before Luo Xi could speak, several men in black beside her immediately drew their guns and pointed them at them.
