Qian Duoduo nodded in understanding, "Then according to that logic, if you switch to something that can accelerate, you should be able to escape unscathed."
Ji Yourong nodded, "But I can't break through his defenses either. Besides, he probably has other tricks up his sleeve."
Those who make the decisions are always so unfathomable.
"Slap, slap."
As Yang Xi walked past the spot where the Dark Swordsman had fallen into the sea, a dark shadow suddenly leaped out of the water and stabbed towards Yang Xi's back.
The Dark Swordsman, feigning serious injury and lurking beneath the sea, finally had his chance to launch a sneak attack.
"careful!"
The two women and the handsome men and beautiful women watching the commotion on the deck couldn't help but speak up to remind them.
"Too late! Haha! Well done, Dark Swordsman!"
A look of delight appeared on Jill's face. Although the sneak attack was an unfair victory, it was still better than being beaten badly.
The Dark Swordsman's expression remained unchanged. Having grown up in the chaotic seas, he was already used to both launching and being launched sneak attacks.
There is no such thing as a fair duel in this world, only winners and losers!
Black battle aura swirled around the sword blade; once unleashed, this guy named Chenlong would have absolutely no chance of defending against it.
The Dark Swordsman knew that the opponent's phantom ability needed time to activate!
Now, nothing can stop him from thrusting this sword!
"I won!"
The Dark Swordsman also did not aim for Yang Xi's vital points; his target was Yang Xi's shoulder.
However... a giant hand, somewhere between illusion and reality, emerged from beneath the sea, pinching the sword with its index finger and thumb, completely "extinguishing" the black battle aura.
"I...I can't move?"
The dark swordsman then realized that, without him noticing, another giant hand had gripped his body, rendering him immobile. The distance between the tip of his sword and the enemy's shoulder was only five inches, but he could no longer shorten it.
"fool."
Yang Xi walked leisurely to the dark swordsman who was being held by the River God and said softly, "I have never dispelled this ability."
127 peripheral members
Yang Xi made a shooting gesture with his hand, casually hovering his index finger in front of the Dark Swordsman's brow.
All the spectators on the yacht fell silent without prior agreement.
Is this...is this going to result in murder?
Given the way the ruling organization operates, this is highly likely!
Ji Yourong and Qian Duoduo hesitated whether to stop Chen Long. If they killed the A-level ability user of the Uruk family, it would probably cause the two families to turn against each other completely, which would be adding insult to injury for the Qian family.
But Chenlong is someone they want to win over, and they also need to consider his feelings.
Yang Xi said jokingly, "If you beg for mercy, I'll spare your life."
With Yang Xi's pistol pointed at his head, the Dark Swordsman knew the power of this move better than anyone else present; the pain of having his shoulder thrown off was still fresh in his memory.
However, despite the slight tremor in his body, the long-haired, narrow-eyed swordsman did not utter a single word of begging for mercy, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Tsk tsk, ungrateful wretch!"
As soon as Yang Xi finished speaking, everyone held their breath. Some girls even closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the scene of someone about to be blown up in the head.
Even disregarding his fear of Yang Xi, the dragon scepter that was paddling across the water stepped forward, trying to stop him.
Jill, however, turned her head away with a livid expression.
"Snapped."
The dark swordsman felt a twitch between his brows and reflexively furrowed his brow to face his final pain.
But after that painful experience, there was no further follow-up.
"Am I already dead? Is it because I was shot in the head that I don't feel any pain?"
Just as the Dark Swordsman was lost in thought, Yang Xi's flippant voice rang out, "You're afraid of death too, aren't you? Stop pretending."
It turned out that Yang Xi had only flicked the Dark Swordsman's forehead.
Yang Xi patted the dark swordsman's pale face a few more times, then glared disdainfully at the fire dragon scepter that was raised beside him.
He said irritably, "You can't control your fire dragon, so you're planning to hit me with this piece of wood?"
With a sheepish grin, the Fire Dragon Scepter put away the scepter and looked helplessly at the young master on the yacht.
Jill jumped down, gave Yang Xi a deep look, and said unwillingly, "Let's go."
Just as he was about to leave with his two men, Yang Xi said calmly, "Are you leaving without leaving anything behind?"
Under Yang Xi's intimidating power, and glancing at the dark swordsman clutching his shoulder and the whistling fire dragon scepter beside him, Jill gritted her teeth and said, "What else do you want?"
Yang Xi picked at his ear. "One million Azure Coins per person. You're a kid, so I'll give you a 50% discount. That's 2.5 million in total."
Jill retorted angrily, "You!"
Then, realizing he was no match for Yang Xi, he reluctantly took out his communicator and transferred money directly to Qian Duoduo.
"I gave Qian Duoduo three million Azure Coins, I don't care about your discount."
After saying that, the three of them slunk away from the yacht and started running on the sea.
Yang Xi returned to the yacht, plopped down on the leather sofa, and downed a glass of champagne in one gulp.
"Remember to transfer all the money for that tablet to our organization's account later."
"It was transferred a long time ago."
Qian Duoduo shook the communicator.
Yang Xi paused for a moment, and after confirming that his communicator had not sent a notification sound indicating that the money had been received, he slowly stretched out his sitting posture.
Thank goodness, the communicator was on silent, otherwise Qian Duoduo would have noticed something was amiss.
After all, it's normal for the arbitration organization's account to be given to anyone, but it wouldn't be given to a young upstart like Chenlong.
Yang Xi felt guilty and touched his nose, saying, "Didn't you want to contact Brother Youji? I have a way, but you have to become an outer member of our Judgment."
Yang Xi plans to sign a spiritual contract with Qian Duoduo, since he will need to trouble the Fan Hai Chamber of Commerce to handle the spoils of war in the future.
Moreover, he roughly knew the Qian family's situation, which was nothing more than the family's high-end combat force being either killed, injured, or missing in a short period of time. His Judgment Organization could fill this gap.
Judging from the behavior of Jill and the others just now, Yang Xi has confirmed one thing.
These three people are not from any of District 53; they seem to come from a place called the Four Seas.
It turns out that the world is much bigger than Yang Xi knew.
Yang Xi really wanted to curse, "Damn it, didn't the textbook say that the entire Blue Star only has one continent and an uninhabited sea outside?!"
The opportunity that Yang Xi has now presented to understand this unknown world is to become an ally of the Qian family.
Making Qian Duoduo, the heir, a peripheral member of the arbitration organization was also intended to reassure the Qian family.
Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up, "Become a peripheral member of the arbitration?"
She had long been interested in the mysterious organization, and the prospect of becoming a peripheral member was extremely appealing to her.
Ji Yourong, however, calmly inquired, "What are the conditions for becoming an external member?"
Yang Xi was a bit troubled; did he have to make this up on the spot again?
"There are many types of peripheral members of the organization, which can be roughly divided into two categories: one is logistics personnel with special talents, and the other is combat personnel with strength of A-level or above."
Yang Xi's casual words left Ji Yourong and Qian Duoduo speechless. Only A-level ability users could become peripheral members, so how strong must the official members be?
"So, you mean Duoduo has special talents?"
"Of course, didn't you just help the organization deal with the spoils of war? Being rich is a special talent too."
Qian Duoduo felt discouraged. She thought it would be so difficult to be an outer member of the Tribunal, but it turns out that money can solve everything.
Yang Xi saw through Qian Duoduo's thoughts and said seriously, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Actually, it was Brother Youji's idea to make you a peripheral member of the organization. Did you really think I came here to ask for directions?"
Ji Yourong had an expression that said, "I knew it." She had always felt that the appearance of this Chenlong was too suspicious.
"Brother Youji couldn't come because of something, so he asked me to make an errand and give you the access to the Cloud Palace. Our organization was very satisfied with the last transaction, and there will be more spoils that your Fanhai Chamber of Commerce will need to handle in the future."
It turned out that he was attracted by the Chamber of Commerce's ability to handle supplies. This reasonable reason made Ji Yourong feel that Chenlong's invitation was more reliable.
Qian Duoduo asked curiously, "What kind of place is the Cloud Palace?"
Yang Xi nodded his head and said, "You'll know once you become an outer member."
"Lord Chenlong, could you give me a moment to consider?"
Ji Yourong felt that she should ask Mr. Qian for his opinion on this matter.
Yang Xi gestured for him to proceed.
The two women then went to the side to make a phone call.
A few minutes later, Qian Duoduo said with a cheerful smile, "Handsome Chenlong, my grandfather has agreed."
Yang Xi nodded and said, "Since that's the case..."
"Wait a minute," Ji Yourong suddenly interrupted Yang Xi, "Can I also become an outer member of the Judgment? My ability level is A-level!"
Yang Xi was a little dumbfounded; he hadn't initially intended to take Ji Yourong in as a concubine.
This girl is too smart; she might not be easy to fool.
But looking into Ji Yourong's eyes, Yang Xi gritted his teeth. Anyway, he had to fool smart people, so he might as well treat it as practice. If he was eventually exposed, he would just upgrade his puppet control ability and turn her into a puppet.
Two mental seals appeared on Yang Xi's hands. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he was fooling Liu Yuan, he seemed to have told him that this was the treatment of a formal member.
Poor godson.
128. We'll show you how colluding we are!
Upon seeing the two mental seals on Yang Xi's hands, Ji Yourong asked in confusion, "What are these?"
She secretly wondered to herself, could this be Chenlong's third superpower?
...That's unlikely, isn't it?
