Terra's Magnetic Field

Who is going to come? Everyone was on edge, but in the end, the facts gave them the answer they least wanted to see.

A tall, white-haired, golden-horned dragon man walked in. Just by standing at the door, he intimidated a large group of people in the house. No one dared to act rashly, because this man had beaten all of them in his lifetime... (Except for those who were not born yet)

This man is the Emperor Wan Bai, who once served as the Emperor of Yan State and the leader of Simuitai!

Wan Bai was wearing a dark military windbreaker that symbolized his status. Although the color and pattern of this windbreaker were not much different from his previous ones, the style had been modified to be more modern, with the hem shorter and the collar shorter.

The buttons were changed into bevel zippers so that he wouldn't look out of place when walking on the street.

I didn't expect that "he" would attend this dinner in the image of Wan Bai this time.

"Just sit next to your mother. She won't take up much space." Fang pointed to the empty seat on the other side of Wan. Bella and Wan were a little far apart, and that distance was just enough for another person to come in. Wan Bai shrank like Fang this time, and was now about 1.8 meters tall, barely able to sit down.

Somehow, Wan Bai's reaction this time was not too intense. He did not deny the fact that Wan was his mother, nor did he refute Fang's words.

He sat silently between Wan and Bella, and his serious aura made it difficult for others to speak.

Fang: "I invited Xiao Bai to come this time because he and we are a family. I am very happy that he is willing to give me face. Everyone should be happy at this dinner. If there is any problem, we can solve it and not make it unpleasant."

When Fang spoke like this, he sounded like the head of the family. Naturally, no one else dared to say anything, and the dinner was controlled by Fang.

Wan didn't dare to speak now, and neither did Bella.

Wan Zong thought that Wan Bai would smash her into pieces with one hand, while Bella thought that she would be hit by a real explosive punch...

That’s all for today.

Postscript: Fang can be said to have taken the initiative, bluffed, and used a series of moves to gain a dominant position. On this day, he successively recruited Jeston and Skadi as partners (chess pieces), and invited Wanbai to come over in the name of a dinner party, creating an illusion that he could drive Wanbai.

Wan Bai just came here to have a meal. He thought that they would just get together to talk like before. He dressed formally because Fang had arranged for them to meet at a big restaurant this time, so it would be convenient for them to reminisce about the past.

Fang arranged Wan Bai to sit with Ling. On the one hand, he took into account that Wan was currently at a disadvantage, and Wan Bai's conciliatory attitude would actually help maintain Wan's dignity and consolidate Wan's position. On the other hand, he could use Wan Bai to put pressure on Ling, making Ling feel a sense of crisis and thus more dependent on him.

In a sense, Fang can now be called the "head of the family"

Everyone else was intimidated by Fang's actions and naturally did not dare to think too much. The direction of the dinner was decided by him.

It can be said that this dinner will determine the future political direction of Terra, and Fang has already gained the upper hand.

Finally, let’s talk about the characters’ outfits in this chapter. Nian, Ling, and Xi are supposed to wear everyday clothes by default.

Fang wore a purple robe to steal the show. Purple was a symbol of wealth in ancient times, because purple dye was very expensive and only rich people could afford it. The most classic outfit of "Uncle Dong" in "Ice Breaking Operation" is a dark purple gown. Fang usually wears ordinary clothes, but that doesn't mean he is frugal. He can still show off when he needs to. In addition to the overall bold color tone, the dragon pattern on Fang's robe also hints at his extraordinary status.

Wan Bai is wearing a windbreaker that is a combination of the past and the present. The prototype of this outfit is the dragon robe he wore when he was in power in Yan State, but the cuffs and collar have been modernized. This mixed style represents the confusion of his current identity. On the one hand, he can't let go of his past identity, but on the other hand, he wants to draw a clear line with the past. In addition, the modified parts of the windbreaker also make the overall lines look more capable, giving people a feeling that he can fight at any time.

Different characters wear different clothes, because one's personality can be seen from their clothes. For example, Xiao Er likes to wear casual leather jackets, Wan Bai mostly wears military uniforms, and Gui Qiao wears a jacket with a sweater. These can actually reflect their respective personalities. In addition, Gui Qiao will appear in different identities when dealing with different scenes.

I will also write about private servers for other characters later.

I mentioned before that Saria wears leather jackets and jeans, which are actually the favorites of retro motorcycle riders. Saria's private clothes are all based on the American khaki style. And Ifrit usually wears the kind of high school student varsity jacket, which is also an American style overall.

Wan's private clothes are varied. She has different clothes for different identities. If you are interested, you can flip through and organize them yourself.

So this world view is not just about vests and capes………………

Chapter 427 Sister Nian and Her Foolish Apprentice

"Oh, we're finally home!" Xiao Jin plopped down on the sofa in the living room. This two-story building, which was standard for high-level elite operators, was just the right size for the mother and daughter to live in. It was neither too big nor too small.

As soon as the dinner was over, they finally let go of the pressure they had been feeling. The second half went unexpectedly smoothly without any conflicts.

"Xiao Jin, you did a good job this time. You did everything your mother asked you to do." Ling sat on another sofa and praised his daughter.

Xiao Jin complained, "Mom... every time you play the good cop and I play the bad cop. When something goes wrong, you play the good guy and mediate, doing favors for others, and I have to make a fuss like an idiot..."

Ling: "My dear daughter, you don't understand. As a mother, I cannot say harsh words. But you say this to show that you are very aggressive. It can not only leave a good impression on the elders, but also make your peers dare not mess with you easily."

Xiao Jin: "Mom, you always say this. We play big chess every day but never win. If you are right, Yan Kingdom should have taken our surname long ago. How could it be the turn of the Wan family..."

Xiao Jin pouts and mutters, and Ling pokes her face with his finger, forcing her to retreat.

Ling: "You are such a cunning girl..."

Xiao Jin: "Mom, don't you care who you inherited from?"

After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he got up and went to

The mother and daughter were having a little fight here.

Compared with the happy atmosphere in the Ling family, the Wan family is much darker.

First of all, the Wan family's decoration is mainly dark in color, and the lights are usually dimmed. At first glance, it looks like a haunted house in a horror movie. Although the two-story building looks no different from other houses in the same batch, the interior is decorated in the style of the old Yan Kingdom that can only be seen in costume dramas. Many old houses in the Yan Kingdom Imperial City are like this.

Under the dim light, these old objects only make people feel eerie and scary.

There was a square table in the middle of the gloomy living room, with two people and one beast sitting on three sides of the table.

The faces illuminated by the old-fashioned chandelier right above looked pale, and the three guys all had stern faces, which only made the atmosphere more depressing. A good family gathering was turned into a meeting of cadres of an evil organization that was only seen in old special effects movies.

It would have looked even more like that if there was white mist of dry ice on the ground.

Wan Bai, who was sitting near the door, spoke first:

"Why didn't Amiya come?"

He was referring to the previous dinner party. Logically speaking, Amiya should have attended such a "big event" related to the leadership battle, but she was absent for two consecutive times, which made Wanbai feel confused.

Did something happen to Amiya?

He then remembered that Amiya had not participated in the previous action of cutting the city, and his doubts deepened.

Wan Paopao stood directly on the side of the table. She naturally understood what Wan Bai meant and immediately retorted:

"Amiya, Amiya, you've been talking about it for several times. If you really care about her, why don't you go to Kal'tsit to meet her tomorrow? She's staying at Kal'tsit's place and won't come out. I didn't invite her and Kal'tsit to come because I thought she's not from our circle and we can't talk to each other."

Wan's explanation was not enough to dispel Wan Bai's doubts. He changed the question to a more tricky one:

"You don't want Amiya to join our circle? Because you never intended for her to be your heir from the beginning."

"You!..." Wan hesitated to speak. She neither confirmed nor denied Wan Bai's question. The truth was up to you to guess.

Wan Bai: "No matter how many unpleasant words I say, it's useless, but Kazdel has been the land of the Sarkaz for generations. I think you should return this place to the Sarkaz."

"Before, due to your strength, no one dared to oppose you occupying Kazdel, but now that you are weak, various problems will follow. I believe it will be more difficult in the future."

"You know better than me what seats belong to different people." Wan Bai stood up and patted Wan Paopao's elastic body. He walked straight to the door, leaving this place that could not be called home.

Wan Paopao and Bella, who stayed at the table, listened carefully to the footsteps outside the house, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Wan Bai had gone far away.

When Wan Bai was around, Bella didn't say a word.

After Wan Bai left, Wan Paopao said:

"Damn you kid!!"

"Mom..." Bella moved closer to Wan Paopao and whispered with her mouth against Wan Paopao's cheek, "Who is he helping now?"

What Bella cares most about now is Wan Bai's stance. If there is a slight chance to get close to the nominal "big brother", she will try it.

Wan: "Hehe... which side? My dear daughter, if you want to ask him to take sides with you, forget it. If he really sides with us, will I still be like this?"

Bella: “That’s right…”

The Wan family’s conversation ended here, while in the private room where everyone had previously had dinner, the Nian family was still sitting at the large round table without moving.

After seeing off all the distinguished guests one by one, Nian sat at the seat of honor where Fang had sat before. She lit a cigarette gloomily, but she extinguished the cigarette halfway through and threw the expensive cigarette aside.

"Tsk!"

"Damn it! The banquet I hosted was taken away by Lao Ba and his bastards!"

Nian Yi flipped over the chair on her right. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. This time, treating guests not only did not allow her to gain the upper hand, but made her situation even more awkward. She sat on the chair and thought about what to do next.

"I gave you the chance but you didn't make any use of it! You disappoint me so much!! Tsk!" Nian pointed at Tallulah and shouted, then turned his face to the other side and stomped his feet.

"Master... Xiaojie is here..." Tallulah approached Nian nervously. Nian had originally set up this game to support her, but she was not good enough to play this role, so it was a waste of time.

Without even glancing at the door, Nian said nonchalantly, "Let her in."

"Boss, I heard you were looking for me?" The delicate voice of a young girl echoed in the spacious private room. When Nian looked up, he saw the obedient girl standing in front of him. Her code name in Rhodes Island was her real name - "Jessica".

Nian tapped the full wine glass with her fingers, and the dull sound trembled. The hissing sound when she exhaled also made everyone present nervous.

She forced a smile on her face, looked at Jessica and said in a kind tone:

"Xiao Jie, don't be so formal. Just call me grandma. Your great-grandfather called me that back then, and I've watched your family grow up. Come and sit next to grandma..."

Nian smiled and waved at Jessica, whose calves, hidden by the tablecloth, trembled.

Jessica sat on the seat to the left of Nian. She leaned over and lay on Nian's lap as usual. Nian stroked her head gently, like a master caressing a pet.

"well------"

Nian sighed and continued:

"I am a wise man. It is said that half of Terra's west side is the Wanjia Rhine Life, and the other side is

I was born in Leishen Industry. I was as skilled and capable as my sister. But now... Sigh... The only thing that Wanbao is worse than me is giving birth to children. Her children are always capable, while mine... are so disappointing! Is it because my genes are not as good as hers?"

(Wanbao: You don’t even look at the rank of the other half I picked. The worst black snake is also a behemoth. Sister, you just messed around with the village girl.)

Nian deliberately said this in front of Tallulah. On the one hand, it could bring him closer to Jessica, and on the other hand, it could make Tallulah feel threatened.

"It's still too comfortable! Wanbao's descendants are either killing each other or on their way to killing each other. The genes of losers simply cannot be passed on. Their family has been refined generation after generation, and finally became a powerful force that matters in Terra. Wanbao never worried about the problem of no successors. What she should worry about is being killed by her own children."

"On the other hand, I..."

The year took up a bunch of Jessica's hair and rubbed it, saying:

"Xiao Jie, your family has been smart since they were young. I, your grandma, will hand over many things in the company to your family. Please don't do anything that will disappoint your grandma..."

Jessica was a little panicked, her emotions were unconsciously reflected in her body, and her body shook unconsciously.

Nian went on to say:

"I have been doing arms business for thousands of years. I sell anything that can kill people, such as swords, guns, cannons, etc. It can be said that there is never a moment of peace in Terra, and I have made myself the richest man in the world. I know that this is a loss of virtue, and it may be because of this that my descendants have poor brains. But I am not a fool, I don't have Alzheimer's disease yet!"

When Nian roared, Tallulah was so scared that she almost fell to the ground, and Jessica lost consciousness in her lower body.

"Just tell me everything, while I'm not too angry."

This was the final ultimatum of the year. Although she had not been directly in charge of the affairs of Thor Industries in recent years, she knew everything she should know. A group of "young people" wanted to take advantage of her absence to sideline her? They were too young...

“Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu…” Jessica cried out, and she managed to utter a short complete sentence, “…Grandma…I’m sorry…This has nothing to do with me…It was all decided by father and sister! I…I can’t resist?…”

"Okay, you can go out... go back and have a good sleep, this has nothing to do with you anymore," Nian patted Jessica's head and asked several black-clad bodyguards standing at the door to help Jessica away.

"Fuck!" Nian kicked the chair Jessica had been sitting on and broke it into pieces. "How dare they steal my money! My money!!"

Tallulah: "Master... I don't quite understand. Is money useful to us? You can make whatever you want. Even I can live without food and drink. We don't spend much money on a daily basis. Why do you care so much about money?"

Nian: "Shut up! Does your master care about money? What I care about is my f*cking face!!"

When he slapped himself on the face, it was so loud.

"If word gets out that I can't control my cat, how the hell am I going to get by?"

Nian stood up and walked to Tallulah's side, pinched her cheek, put his mouth close to her ear, squinted his eyes and said earnestly:

"Xiaota! You have such a simple mind! You only look at the surface and the present of many things, but not the core and the results!"

The young man kissed Tallulah's cheek and whispered, "I'll think about your matter tomorrow. Don't think about it now..."

Nian saw the fear in Tallulah's eyes, which made her feel a little sad. She asked:

"Xiaota, are you afraid of me? I love you the most... How can you be afraid of me?"

Nian stroked Tallulah's face and her drooping bangs...

Seeing that Tallulah didn't dare to answer, she stopped asking because she already knew the answer.

Tallulah: "Master...what are you going to do with Xiaojie's family?"

Nian: "What else can I do? Call Shenchi's Aibu sisters. They have always done a very clean job. When it's done, someone will naturally take Xiaojie's place. A cat that dares to bite its master can no longer be kept. If they had honestly helped me, they would have enjoyed endless wealth and glory. Have I ever treated them badly over the years? In the end, they just couldn't control their brains and hands. Alas! ......"

Tallulah: “…Can’t you just let them go?”

Nian: "Xiaota, what are you talking about? This is of course not okay! If you show some mercy now, others will start testing your bottom line until you can no longer tolerate it! I must make them afraid of me. Only when they are afraid of me will they respect me!"

Tallulah: “Ah…”

Nian: "Xiaota, you are not a child anymore. You can't stay out of many things. I asked Xiaojie to help you get familiar with the company's affairs before, but you refused again and again. If you continue like this, I can only give the company to the Aibu sisters. They are quite positive about this."

Tallulah: "Is Wanbai trying to scare us on purpose? Everyone seems to be afraid of him. Does he do whatever it takes like you, Master?"

Nian: "Wan Bai is a complicated person. His unscrupulousness is passive, and anyone who offends him will die. What scares people the most is his principles. As long as his principles are violated, no matter if it is his mother, sister, wife, or daughter, he will take action."

Tallulah: "It sounds like Wanbai is a heartless person..."
