190: Chapter 190 I'll go in first and scout out the situation.
"My Li Family will take the three northeastern cities."
"Then my Wang Family will take a slight loss, the three southeastern cities will belong to us."
The heads of the other seven great families in the conference room all looked at Duanmu Hongkuo, Li Hengfu, and Wang Hongyang with disbelief.
How could they dare!
They opened their mouths and demanded six of the most prosperous urban areas in the Great Xia Dragon Country.
Ye Shao was so angry he laughed, "Hehehe..."
"Sigh! In the end, I shouldn't have held onto those unrealistic fantasies!"
"Some people have already forgotten their own names!"
"Since that is the case, I will formally announce again: stripping the Duanmu, Li, and Wang families of all their supreme status in the Association, and the Professional Management Association will permanently cease all resource exchanges with them!"
Before Ye Shao could finish speaking, Duanmu Hongkuo and the other two jumped up from their chairs.
"Ye Shao! Don't go too far! If you push us too far, have you thought about the consequences?!"
"It seems Chairman Ye is determined to break ties with our three families. When the magic energy crystals are gone, don't come begging us!"
After saying this, the three turned and wanted to leave.
"Stop!"
Chairman Ye's voice came again,
"I haven't finished speaking yet, don't be in such a rush."
Hearing this, Duanmu Hongkuo and the others stopped. He wanted to see what else Chairman Ye could say.
"Someone reported to the Association that the Duanmu, Li, and Wang families have been embezzling public funds on the pretext of manufacturing magic energy crystals for Great Xia, and the amount is huge."
"Now, I order the Heavenly Sword Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly. You must get to the bottom of it and show no mercy. As for the three of you, stay in the rooms I've prepared and wait for the results."
After he finished, the door of the conference room opened, and three elders quickly walked over to Duanmu Hongkuo, Li Hengfu, and Wang Hongyang, subdued them on the spot, and then took them away without further ado.
Leaving only a sound of sighing in the room.
Tang Mo did not go to the Coiling Dragon Pagoda; he sat in front of his dormitory. If Tang Yuyan really returned, she would definitely take this path.
...
Until evening, Tang Mo did not wait for Tang Yuyan to return.
"I didn't expect Older Sister to be working so hard. It seems I can't continue to be a salted fish at school. I'll go to the Nether Abyss tomorrow."
After saying this, Tang Mo turned to return to the dormitory.
Just at this moment, Tang Mo suddenly felt the heavenly sword token trembling.
Tang Mo curiously took out the heavenly sword token. After injecting spiritual energy into it, he found it was a message from Wei Shenchou.
"There's a mission, come to Xiaan City immediately. I'm waiting for you at the teleportation station."
Tang Mo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Didn't they say he didn't need to join the abyss cleanup? Did some emergency happen?
Although he was puzzled, Tang Mo didn't waste time. He pushed his hands forward, and a transparent air door appeared in front of him.
Outside the air door was a secluded corner of the Xiaan City teleportation station.
Although his last visit to Xiaan City was rushed, Tang Mo had a deep memory of several locations in Xiaan City.
Subsequently, Tang Mo stepped into the air door.
With a "click," the air door closed.
Tang Mo quickly saw Wei Shenchou's figure at the teleportation station,
"What mission is so urgent that you called me over?"
Wei Shenchou had just arrived at the teleportation station and hadn't even sat down before he heard Tang Mo's voice,
Hiss~!
"How did you get here so fast, kid? Is there some special passage from Xiafu University to Xiaan City?"
As he spoke, Wei Shenchou pulled Tang Mo and walked outside,
"There's a mission: break through several Saint-level protective shields, but you cannot cause damage to the surroundings."
"Saint-level protective shields?"
Wei Shenchou's words made Tang Mo think of the Saint-level protective scrolls used by the Orc Allied Forces during their previous battle.
"Could it be..."
Wei Shenchou nodded and then climbed into a black sedan nearby,
While starting the car, he explained in detail what had happened today to Tang Mo.
It turned out that after controlling Duanmu Hongkuo, Li Hengfu, and Wang Hongyang, Wei Shenchou and Si Yueze received orders to search the three families.
It was called a search, but it was actually to find all the magic energy crystals they had privately hoarded.
Since they had decided to completely eradicate these three great families, they naturally couldn't leave such dangerous things in their hands.
Who would have thought that when the Heavenly Sword Bureau arrived, the villa area where the Duanmu, Li, and Wang families were located was completely covered by Saint-level protective scrolls.
Worried about harming the ordinary people nearby, Wei Shenchou and Si Yueze dared not use large-scale destructive methods. However, the two of them working together couldn't break the defensive shields, so they had to call Tang Mo, hoping that the three of them could break the defensive shields together.
"What about the other three Sword Bearers of the Heavenly Sword Bureau? Why didn't you call them?"
"They are responsible for guarding Duanmu Hongkuo and the others and cannot get away. We had to call you."
While talking, Wei Shenchou had already driven to the villa area where the Duanmu Family was located.
Tang Mo got out of the car with Wei Shenchou,
He saw a huge transparent protective shield covering the sky above the villa area,
Everything inside could be clearly seen from the outside.
At this moment, the entire villa area was exceptionally quiet. The members of the Heavenly Sword Bureau outside had shouted until their throats were hoarse, but no one came out.
Next to the shield, several construction teams were digging holes into the ground, presumably wanting to drill in from underground.
Si Yueze was directing the construction nearby.
Tang Mo shook his head noncommittally. This was a Saint-level shield; how could it be broken so easily?
However, this shield was not difficult for him,
"What should I do? Do I need to finish off everyone inside?"
As he spoke, Tang Mo made a throat-slitting gesture.
Wei Shenchou heard this and thought, does this kid have a way?
"No, our priority is to take out the magic energy crystals inside safely and soundly to prevent any harm."
"As for the people of the Duanmu Family inside, just take them back for trial."
Tang Mo nodded and said: "Then what benefits can I get?"
Wei Shenchou looked at Tang Mo and gave a wry smile. This kid really wouldn't release the eagle until he saw the rabbit,
"If you can really help us solve the trouble of the shield, I will apply for a special merit award for you!"
Tang Mo: "Does special merit come with any rewards?"
Wei Shenchou was speechless for a moment: "This is supreme glory. Ordinary people can't get it even if they want it. Tang kid, don't be so materialistic."
But Tang Mo wouldn't listen to him painting a big picture. He had had enough of that in his previous life, so in this life, he naturally wanted some tangible rewards.
"One-tenth?"
Wei Shenchou frowned, "What do you want that for, kid?"
Tang Mo knew Wei Shenchou had misunderstood and quickly explained: "I mean one-tenth of the Duanmu Family's assets."
"Of course, that also includes the gold coins converted from the magic energy crystals."
After hearing Tang Mo's words, Wei Shenchou rolled his eyes at him, "Your appetite is quite big, kid."
"Do you know that we are on a mission? Everything here must be taken back intact."
"What are you thinking?"
Tang Mo chuckled, "I was just joking with you, why are you getting so anxious?"
"How about this, I'll go in first to scout the situation, and then I'll find a way to let you all in."
