After all, this was an old man's wish, and his granddaughter probably wouldn't refuse, provided that she would whisper in his ear. Thinking of this, he was already thinking about how to get his granddaughter to whisper in his ear.
"Alright, let's get down to business. You called me here because of Qianhua's matter, right?"
The other party nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Actually, there's not much to say. Just leave it to me. If you want to ask for the bride price or anything else, just tell me and I can satisfy you."
"Or, as political families, even if you have a mutually beneficial relationship with that side, you still need a powerful backer. I can stand up for you, I don't care, whether it's an angel, a demon king, or anything else. I can protect you."
At that moment, Lin Qi made his point clear.
The other person was taken aback when they heard this, not expecting the person to be so direct. At that moment, the person looked at the tea in front of them and then asked a question.
"Your Excellency, based on what I know, you are indeed capable of many things, but you should know that this world is not simple."
"Take those demons for example; some of them have lived for a very long time. Don't you know how powerful they are? And there are also gods and such."
After saying this, the other person looked up and stared intently at the person in front of them.
"Can you really say you can solve everything when faced with those beings?"
After the other person asked this question, the person in front of him laughed, a genuine laugh, as if mocking those things.
"Hahaha."
Lin Qi's laughter at this moment made the other party feel a little awkward.
"Did I say something wrong?"
The other party then asked the same question. Even though he felt like he was being ridiculed, he maintained his good temper, which is a kind of political etiquette.
After laughing, Lin Qi waved his hand, his smile still lingering on his lips.
"You know what? Every time I face you ants who can never see how high the sky is, and ask yourselves how high the sky is, I just want to laugh."
Chapter 874 Oh no, this person has ill intentions!
"The reason why the medicine is effective is very simple. Every time we face people like you who think they can see the sky, we don't realize that the sky we see as ants is just the sky we are willing to show you, and then you come to ask us if we know how high this sky is."
Lin Qi's words may not be considered highly offensive, but they are extremely insulting, directly reducing everyone to the level of ants.
The other party was stunned when they heard this. They never expected that the other party would not restrain themselves in the face of this problem, but would become more ferocious and even choose to directly confront them. This young man has no martial ethics!
Even the politicians at this moment were at a loss for words, though they had at least served as prime ministers.
"May I ask if you could describe to this old man what the sky looks like?"
At this point, the other party chimed in, saying, "Since you say so, and we don't know how high the sky is, could you please describe to me what the sky is like?"
Lin Qi observed the other person's behavior and found it to be alright. At least they weren't angry or on the verge of a breakdown. In fact, while their inner emotions were quite complex, they weren't in a terrible state and were relatively stable.
I originally wanted to see the other person make a fool of themselves, but now I find that I can't.
"Hmm, it's hard to describe. But you might think that those demon kings are terrifying and capable of destroying the world. But let me tell you this: the demon kings you know and many legendary gods are at most in the third tier. There are several tiers behind them."
"To put it bluntly, you sorcerers and Onmyoji can only show off your power in front of weaklings. Compared to those who have made contracts with demons and spirits that have lived for thousands of years, you are completely insignificant."
Lin Qi's words were harsh, but also quite realistic.
But this person in front of me said that those demon kings were only in the third tier. What a joke! According to records, they all seemed to have the power to unleash the power of the ocean and cause natural disasters. Yet they say that the other side is not strong. This is hard to believe.
"Don't look at me like that. There's no reason for me to lie to you, or rather, I'm too lazy to lie to you."
"I'm telling the truth. You might not be able to access them, since some of them are very ancient."
“Some of them are so ancient that they existed even before you were born here. Even older ones existed somewhere when humans were still cells. So those are the real first echelon here. There are some beings that you could never have heard of, and even if you did, you wouldn’t know what kind of beings they are.”
This was the first time the other person had heard this claim, and the person's eyes told him that the other person was not lying or joking; it was true.
"Then I really have been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well."
"How strong am I? I can't possibly go and fight those guys to prove it to you. I'm not a circus clown. You should know that you are Qianhua's family. I've got your back, I can protect you."
"Of course, if you don't believe me, don't you have some old, inhuman creatures still alive? How about I go and twist their heads off, and prove my strength in less than a minute?"
"For example, those currently in Hokkaido..."
At this moment, Lin Qi suddenly spoke with a smile, as if he were joking with the other party. He then mentioned several locations, which were confidential information known only to a select few.
However, the other party dared not take this as a joke. After all, he seemed to know what the old man was talking about, and he immediately felt uneasy.
"Ahem, Your Excellency, I trust you completely, there's no need for proof."
As a former prime minister, of course I know who this person is referring to. Those are the country's trump cards. How did the other party know?
The other party was thinking a lot at that moment, but also realized that this person was not someone to be trifled with, after all, he had a real track record. It's just that he thought the other party was too arrogant, and now he was a little unsure, mainly because he didn't seem to be joking.
"Okay, okay, don't be nervous. We've gone off-topic. We don't need to make things like this. Although I don't care, it's not good for you to be like this with me. You don't want to change the subject, do you?"
At this moment, Lin Qi put on a relaxed expression, and the other party felt that the pressure had disappeared. Throughout the whole process, the pressure was at its peak. Although the source of this pressure was unknown, it made the other party feel fear from the bottom of their soul!
So now that the pressure has gone, I feel much better, and I've also realized something: they weren't joking, they were serious...
Then the other person secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the subject. When they were chatting for a while, the person suddenly changed the subject.
"I heard that you're planning to arrange a marriage between Chika's older sister and the young master of an Onmyoji family?"
The other party was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then thought to themselves, "Oh no, someone wants to take all the credit."
As a seasoned shrew, how could I not understand what these words meant? Saying this at this time clearly indicates that I want to have it all.
Otherwise, why bring up this topic in the first place?
At this moment, the other party's expression also began to change. He was no longer as composed as before. You should know that throughout the entire negotiation process, the other party had maintained a calm demeanor. However, he could not remain calm now, not at all. The main reason was that the person in front of him was really very ambitious. He actually wanted to take everything. How outrageous! This is too much!
That's absolutely true.
At this point, the other party did not deny version 5.0. After all, denial would be useless. They already knew and had even asked the question. Denying it would just be like burying one's head in the sand. It would be better to admit it openly.
Lin Qi smiled when he saw the other party admit it; the smile was malicious.
"Why make things so complicated? You just want to find more backers, right? I'm enough."
At this moment, Lin Qi looked at the other party and spoke with a smile.
This is tantamount to saying, "I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore, sister, I want some too."
Chapter 875 Who told you I was joking?
In a secluded room of the Far Moon Hotel, an old man and a young man sat facing each other.
However, the two behaved differently. The younger one was very relaxed and leisurely, looking at the old man in front of him as if he were food, and seemed quite surprised by him.
As an old man, I looked at this young man, and although my face was expressionless, my mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts.
Furthermore, I conducted various simulations and comparisons.
The person who was helping his granddaughter choose a marriage partner also became serious at this moment.
Normally, many things have already been decided, so there's no need to worry. After all, when choosing a partner, there have been various considerations, unless there's a small unexpected event.
Or, to put it another way, a more terrifying possibility exists: someone has designated the original marriage partner, leading to the poaching of the person. This is something that needs careful consideration.
Now he is facing this situation, with someone who seems even more terrifying planning to do just that. This is the most troublesome thing. The most important thing is that the other party was originally his granddaughter's choice, but now, this greedy person plans to take both of them.
So at this moment he felt an unparalleled headache; this situation was the most troublesome he could face.
"Your esteemed marriage is essentially settled."
"Abundant..."
Just as the other person was about to say something, they were interrupted by someone.
"Alright, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense. You know it's useless for you to play these tricks on me. If we're talking about intelligence, I have more than you do, and I even know myself better than you do."
Lin Qi waved his hand impatiently, saying that he hated this kind of wrangling the most; it was too troublesome.
"First you say you don't like the other person, then you ask if you can't change it once it's decided? What I'm doing is clearly stealing it."
"If you insist on saying it's difficult, then I'll go and wipe out that aristocratic family tonight, make a complete mess of things. Once the entire family is gone, it's the same as losing the freedom of the marriage partner. Then I can just snatch the person away, right?"
"Then you won't have to take the blame. You can push all the problems onto me, for example, that I was lustful and wanted my sister after having a younger sister, so I went and wiped out the family of my sister's arranged marriage partner."
At this moment, Lin Qi looked at the other party and offered them a solution.
"Anyway, I don't care about my reputation, or rather, I don't have a good reputation here. I know very well how many of your proud experts I've killed. Many of you hate me to the core for weakening your strength here."
"Even though my actions have caused many people to suffer losses, because of my strength, everyone can only hide and vent their anger, cursing me in their hearts. I don't care. It's just the cries of a group of weak and incompetent people. I'm too lazy to listen to it."
"So don't worry, I can handle this perfectly, I'll take the blame."
Lin Qi had arranged everything at this moment, which stunned everyone on the other side. He himself wanted to say, "I haven't said anything yet, and you've already arranged everything. Is this really okay?"
Having lived this long as a politician, I've never seen anyone so unpredictable. After all, most people just talk the talk, which is something I can tell, but this person is definitely serious.
After all, he couldn't see a trace of hypocrisy or falsehood on the other person's face; the other person genuinely thought this and intended to do this.
Suddenly, the other party realized something: they seemed to have overlooked something. The other party did such a brutal thing so naturally, and so many people had died at their hands.
This is enough to prove that this person doesn't seem to care about life at all, or rather, doesn't care about other people's lives. He's a terrifying guy; it seems that life is something to be disregarded.
What's wrong with this young man? He's so young, but he has this kind of attitude towards life?
Faced with this question, the other party may never know the answer in their lifetime. How many people have died because of the things that this person did outside? So they are really calm about these things and don't take them seriously at all.
Putting everything else aside, what they did on the Super God's side is enough to prove how many people they have under their control, so they really don't care about just one family.
Not to mention, there are too many idiots here. I've encountered so many idiots since my debut. You could say they've made me furious. So why should I hold back? Since those idiots don't know how to hold back, I might as well not hold back either.
Lin Qi thought of all those people who were sent to their deaths, and his expression became somewhat subtle. It seemed that he himself had been forced into this situation. Once upon a time, he was a law-abiding citizen, but by a series of unforeseen events, he had gradually become like this.
Lin Qi's expression became somewhat subtle as he thought about this.
However, this change was fleeting, and the person on the other end couldn't see the change in their expression as they thought about it.
"Sir, please don't make such a joke."
623 At this moment, the other party could only define this as a joke. They couldn't possibly take it seriously, because taking it seriously would cause even more trouble. So they simply treated it as a joke.
Lin Qi felt somewhat helpless when he heard that the other party had defined the matter as a joke. Did he look like the kind of person who would joke around so easily?
“I’m asking if it’s possible that I’m serious with you. I don’t joke about things like this.”
Lin Qi made it clear that he was serious and never joked.
The other party was caught in a dilemma at this moment. After all, he wasn't stupid. He knew that the other party was obviously unhappy about this situation and unhappy about betting on both sides. But there was nothing he could do. Who would put all their eggs in one basket?
Can you blame yourself for this? Besides, this person has a lot of enemies, you know that yourself. It's only because of the relationship between the other party and Qianhua, and because this person is quite domineering and knows his granddaughter can't escape, that's why he did this. It's a classic case of risk and opportunity coexisting.
