âOld An, what exactly do you want?â Seeing the two parties turning into such a scene after just discussing a few words, the Bureau Chief was full of anxiousness.
Donât see that this old man An Yangxu was already 60-plus-years-old, his temper was extremely hot and rash, having the type of bandit attitude commonly seen on the founding Nation generationâs soldiers. When he set his eyes on something, if he couldnât obtain it, he definitely wouldnât give up. When he said he would fire, he definitely wasnât joking when he had no other solutions.
But as for Hong Daliâs side, Tang Muxin, Lin Chuyin, and Li Nianwei naturally didnât need to be questionedâthey were Hong Daliâs loyal followers. The nine lackeys all had a Mechanical Holy Garment each too, and they were also aiming at the soldiers now. Although they might not dare to make the first move, if An Yangxu acted, it couldnât be sure that they wouldnât dare to fire back, too.
That was the Mechanical Holy Garment, the weapons were so strong that they exceeded mankindâs imagination. Once they fired, it definitely wouldnât be funny!
âWhat do I want to do?â An Yangxu stared deadly at Hong Dali and said in a deep voice, âIâm making it clear. If this little rascal hands over the Mechanical Holy Garments, I will give him anything he wants! If he doesnât, I donât mind playing with him with my life!â
âAn Yangxu!â The Bureau Chief was really desperate now. âDo you know that heâs someone the Boss wants!? Touching him is akin to touching the Boss. The consequences of thatâŠâ
âConsequences?â An Yangxu looked at the Bureau Chief and then back at Hong Dali. His saliva splattered all over the table as he said, âWhat consequences does an old bone such as I need to consider? I only know that I must obtain the Mechanical Holy Garments today! Must! Old Wu, do you know that Merika has already started to lock down on our trade? Jaban has also withdrawn all of their technical people in the Heavenly State? They have already started to move against us, but what about us? We didnât get a single thing! You guys took the Mechanical Holy Garment back for research, but what are the results? Yet this little rascal is hiding the good stuff and keeping it for himself, what do you think I can do?â
His words werenât wrong.
Jaban State and Merikaâs request to exchange for the Mechanical Holy Garmentâs technology was rejected. Now, they had started to seal off all the technical support and imports of rare metals to Heavenly State.
Without technology and rare metals, a lot of industries couldnât carry on their work. Although Heavenly State occupied lots of lands, they were still lacking in copper, aluminum, and nickel. The Heavenly Stateâs storage of these materials were respectively only 5%, 3.86%, and 6%. Although the storage for lead and zinc was ranked near the top, compared to the usage of more than 50% of what they had, they still needed to be imported.
Now, Merika stopped the exports of heavy metals to Heavenly State and Jaban State stopped the support of technology for the manufacturing of machines. It might not be obvious in the short term, but these were already sealed off, after all. As for Hong Daliâs Mechanical Man, the Nation still hadnât made any major technological advancement on it.
âEven so, couldnât you speak things over calmly?â The Bureau Chief anxiously stomped his feet. âYou directly point your guns at them when you come in, who would dare to hand over their things to you directly! Dali isnât some insensible kidâŠâ
âIf he was some insensible kid, things would be much easier.â An Yangxu humphed. âI didnât study a lot, I only know that words are usual if supported by guns. I donât trust anything else!â
âDonât talk to me about your military methods!â The Bureau Chief frantically said, âYou canât touch this little rascal Hong Dali! Do you understand? You canât touch him!â
Other things aside, if Hong Dali didnât squander, it would be a big loss to the Nation!
âOther than the Boss, there isnât anyone untouchable in my eyes!â An Yangxu violently slapped the table again. âLittle rascal, are you going to give it to me or not? If you are not going to hand it over, donât blame me for not being polite anymore!â
âOh, let me sleep a while firstâŠâ Hong Dali flipped his body to the other side.
Are you kidding me, if I handed it over just because you asked me to, what am I supposed to play with next time? Once I made something it will be taken away, then why would I go to the trouble of making them?
At this moment, the entire atmosphere in the room and restaurant could be said to be filled with killing intent. The Bureau Chief anxiously stomped his feet, but he was helpless towards this An Yangxu. He was a really stubborn fellow, and it looked like he wouldnât stop until he got the Mechanical Holy Garment today.
Luckily, just at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open again and a bunch of men wearing black suits and black sunglasses and armed with guns walked in. Once they came in, without a second word, they took away the soldiersâ guns and then knocked them down before standing at one side with arms crossed.
The Bureau Chief violently wiped off the cold sweat on his head and said, âThey are finally here, the Sky South Sea bodyguards are finally here. That really scared meâŠâ
Then, a majesty-filled voice sounded from the door. âOld An, whatâs the meaning of mobilizing so many soldiers here?â
It was the Bureau Chiefâs Boss, the mysterious man was here!
âBoss.â Seeing the mysterious man arrive, An Yangxu wiped off the cold sweat on his head. Luckily his boss came in time. If not, he wouldnât be able to back down without losing face. An Yangxu wasnât a fool, he knew that Hong Dali was having a meal with his boss today. The purpose of him coming in and directly asking Hong Dali for the Mechanical Holy Garments just now was to show his attitudeâthe military must have it! His attitude was already shown, the boss shall decide what to do!
This way, the boss naturally wouldnât punish him, the more likely result was to calm him down first then personally discuss with Hong Daliâafter Hong Dali saw him act the blackface, once the boss spoke to Hong Dali nicely, things would probably go well. An Yangxu did indeed have a hot temper, but that didnât mean he was an idiot. He was instead very clever!
Although this was his plan, the act still had to continue. An Yangxu stood up and anxiously said, âThe 150th-anniversary military parade is almost starting, we must make use of all the time that we have left. This little rascal Hong Dali must hand over his Mechanical Holy Garments no matter what today! After the military parade, even if you want to kill me, I wouldnât have any complaints!â
âOld An, let me do the talking.â The mysterious man roughly guessed what An Yangxuâs plan was. He sat down in front of Hong Dali and asked, âDali, you seeâŠâ
Huh? The military parade? And whatâs more, itâs the 150th anniversary? I had really forgotten about this matter. I still thought that it was the first day of November.
Hearing the mysterious man words, Hong Dali climbed up from Li Nianweiâs lap, scratched his head and asked, âGrandpa An, you want the Holy Garments to display to the foreigners during the military parade?â
âWhy else do you think I want it for!â An Yangxu angrily said, âYou little rascal has good stuff, but you didnât contribute them and just kept it for yourself and gave only one to the Nation while keeping five! If this were normal times, it wouldnât be a big deal, but you are doing this at such a crucial timing! Do you know how important the 150th-anniversary military parade is? Do you know how many foreign reporters will be there? Do you know how much more speaking power we will have if our Nationâs military is stronger?â
âAh, I didnât think so much.â Hong Dali touched his chin and said, âBut speaking of which, itâs possible for me to give the garments to you. But the crucial thing is that there is only five of it. During the parade, you canât be letting just five people wear the Holy Garments and march in the plaza by themselves, right?â
He was speaking a fact. Just imagine five people marching on the plaza and the broadcaster saying: âThe ones coming now are the five Holy Warriors of the GoddessâŠâ Well, it was just nice enough to make the five main holy warriors for âHoly Warriors of the GoddessââŠ
Just thinking about this scene made them shudder!
Upon imaging the scene that Hong Dali described, even the originally anxious Bureau Chief also couldnât help but burst out laughing. The mysterious man also smiled and helplessly shook his head.
This Hong Dali was still alright when he didnât speak, but once he spoke, he would always cause people to laugh. He really couldnât stand this little rascal!
âThen, what other solution do you have?â An Yangxu stared till his eyes opened wide. âWhatever the case, there isnât too much time left. Little rascal, itâs up to you now!â
Damn! I hate these words the most! What do you mean itâs up to me? What thing is up to me!
âIsnât that simple!?â Hong Dali frantically said, âJust make a large batch of armor thatâs similar to my Holy Garment and put a few real ones at the front. No one will check to see if they are real or fake, anyway! Such a simple thing and you still need to say itâs up to me!?â
âDo you think the reporters are idiots!?â An Yangxu angrily said, âDuring the military parade, small-scale weapons will definitely need to be demonstrated! If not, who doesnât know how to make a fake outer shell!? Think about it, during the demonstration, people will know only five are real and the rest are fakes. We might as well not display the Holy Garments at all if this happens! You can even think of such an embarrassing idea!â
Well, this old guyâs temper is too hot. If we carry on discussing like this, I will definitely become depressed again.
âDali.â The mysterious man softly patted An Yangxuâs shoulder and looked at Hong Dali. His voice was very benevolent as he smiled and said, âWe do indeed wish to display our newest weapon to the foreigners during the parade. Therefore, we really need your help to think of an idea for this matterâŠâ
Then, he knew that he had underestimated this prodigal Hong DaliâHong Dali didnât even wait for him to finish speaking. He just grinned, grabbed the mysterious manâs hand, and stuffed a gold brick into his hand. âOh my, mysterious Uncle, how are you doing? This gold brick is to boost your health and prosperity!â
Hong Daliâs action almost caused Tang Muxin and the rest of them who were fully suited to drop their jaws in shock.
Hong Dali didnât watch the news normally, but they did. This person in front of them was the absolute boss of the Heavenly State, yet Hong Dali actually rewarded him a gold brick!? And in such a scenario!?
The mysterious man was also stunned. Should he slap Hong Dali, slap him, or slap him?
He didnât know whether to cry or laugh, but after being stunned for a while, he didnât act courteous and directly kept the gold brick. The mysterious man vigorously patted Hong Daliâs shoulder and said, âLittle rascal, I realized that if I donât call you this way, itâs really my loss.â
âYou can call me anything you want.â Hong Dali beamed with delight and softly said, âI call the Bureau Chief Uncle. Your position is higher than his, so I shall call you Grandpa from now on, the Grandpa Mysterious!â
The Bureau Chief who was sitting behind and listening on him almost choked to death, a mouthful of water directly spurting out.
âYou rank seniority this way?â The mysterious man didnât know whether to cry or laugh. But he was almost 60-plus-years-old this year, it wasnât too much for Hong Dali who was so young to call him Grandpa. But Grandpa Mysterious⊠Why did that sound so weird?
