Let you raise pigs?But kicked me out of the classmate group?

Chapter 1397 Afternoon

Chapter 1398 Issuing a Challenge
Ali, accompanied by a team of bodyguards in black, waited by the cabin door. When he saw Qin Hao and his group get off, his solemn expression instantly turned murderous.

"Miss, Mr. Qin, the old master is already waiting at the manor."

Ali's voice was deep, and his pupils suddenly contracted as his gaze swept over the lingering bruises on Qin Hao's arm and the wounds that Charlie had bandaged.

I never expected Qin Hao to suffer such a terrible fate this time.

Although I didn't witness the process, I could tell that this battle was truly a matter of life and death.

"Where's Grandpa? Where did he go?"

Aria was eager to recount what had happened to the other party on the spot.

She didn't feel she had much to say; she mainly just described Qin Hao's perilous situation.

In the past, this situation would never have occurred.

Given her princess-like personality, she'll definitely make the whole world fawn over her and keep her happy.

"The Nightshade's lair has been located, and the Hyena Commando just set off ten minutes ago."

Ailiya didn't say anything, but she gripped Qin Hao's wrist tightly and pulled him into the lead SUV.

The convoy sped along, letting everyone through without even bothering to raise the barriers.

Everyone in Zangwe knew that the little princess was currently seething with anger.

In the living room of the Golden Lion's Nest estate, old man Abdul stood in front of a huge map, his finger tapping heavily on the location of Paris.

Hearing footsteps, he turned around abruptly, his cloudy old eyes churning with turbulent emotions.

"Qin!"

The old man grabbed Qin Hao's arm, and when he saw the scar on his chest, his breathing suddenly became heavy. "How badly is he injured? Where's the doctor?!"

He was genuinely worried about Qin Hao's safety.

The little princess he raised himself finally gave up for someone she liked.

Besides, he looks quite good, so if he were to die like this, or be left with some permanent scars, he would be very sad.

"It's already been taken care of, sir."

Qin Hao patted his hand reassuringly and smiled faintly, "Night Shadow's poison is nothing to worry about."

If he had something to do, he wouldn't have come here.

"Nothing to fear?"

The old man abruptly shook off his hand, his cane slamming heavily onto the floor with a dull thud, the anger in his voice palpable.

"That's because you're lucky to be alive!"

"If you had been injected with the serum even a moment later, you would already be a corpse!"

That's absolutely true; Qin Hao really had a lucky break this time.

Ailiya had thought the same thing, but unfortunately she didn't have the ability to avenge Qin Hao on the spot.

Therefore, she came back this time to find her grandfather. No matter what, she couldn't let those people continue to be so rampant; they had to pay the price.

The old man turned to Aria, but his tone softened.

"Girl, were you scared?"

Aria shook her head, her eyes reddening.

"Grandpa, we must find out who ordered this."

"Night Shadow dares to be so arrogant, there must be someone backing him up."

Then she prepared to tell Qin Hao everything he had experienced.

The old man didn't refute it; he just listened intently from the side.

Seeing this scene is somewhat touching, given the circumstances.

When she arrived here, she was in a completely unfamiliar place from the very beginning.

As I gradually made friends and got closer to people, I finally started to feel a sense of home.

"No need to check."

After listening, the old man sneered and took out a yellowed paper folder from his pocket.

"According to intelligence just intercepted by Alibaba, Nightshade's account received an anonymous transfer of 50 million US dollars, and the source of the funds points to a shell company called Rui."

"According to our investigation, the actual controller of this company is a remnant of the Blackstone Group!"

"Wasn't Victor Chen already arrested?"

Charlie frowned. "Blackstone should be leaderless."

He has always had control over this intelligence.

"Leaderless?"

Qin Hao took the document and ran his fingertips over the densely packed transaction records. "They just changed the leader."

"You'll see when you look here."

He pointed to one of the lines of code, which was Phoenix Holdings' stock.

"Although Sophia has distanced herself from the matter, her deputy has been secretly contacting the remnants of Blackstone. This fifty million is most likely with her tacit approval."

The living room fell into dead silence.

The wind outside the window whipped up sand and dust, pounding against the glass like countless claws scratching.

Now everyone understands who the mastermind is.

Moreover, just as Aria had guessed, it was inextricably linked to Sophia.

Grandpa Abdul suddenly laughed, but his laughter carried a chilling undertone.

"Very well, very well! Does the Leclerc family think this old man is no good anymore, that they dare to even touch my people?"

These words carried an indescribable air of dominance, and they were indeed the truth.

He picked up the satellite phone, dialed a number, and said in fluent French, "Tell that old bastard Leclerc that within three days, I want to see the person who ordered Nightshade kneeling before me and apologizing."

"Otherwise, I'll blow all of their family's mines in Black Continent to rubble!"

That's quite a powerful statement.

Those present felt somewhat ashamed.

On the contrary, Aria didn't seem to care, as if she had long been used to her grandfather's fiery temper.

After hanging up the phone, the old man looked at Qin Hao with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Qin, I'm sorry you've been wronged. I will definitely give you an explanation for this."

"You flatter me, sir," Qin Hao shook his head. "Actually, this may not be a bad thing."

"The remaining forces of Blackrock have jumped out, so we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop. As for Sophia's side..."

He paused, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Since she wants to play this game, then we'll play along to the end. We want to get our hands on the mining belt in the Katanga Plateau, and also gain control of the global cobalt market."

What does it mean to turn misfortune into blessing? It was precisely because of this assassination attempt that Qin Hao had a new idea.

Arya suddenly grasped his hand; her palm was burning hot.

"I'm with you."

“The Predator Group’s technical team is available to provide support at any time. There’s one more thing.” She looked at Abdul without hesitation, as if she had already made up her mind.

"Grandpa, I want to officially join Qin Hao's company and be in charge of technology research and development."

The old man paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Good! Good! My little girl has finally grown up! Alright, Grandpa supports you! Not only the technical team, but also the Predator's funds and connections are at your disposal!"

Qin Hao looked at the light in Ailiya's eyes and his heart stirred slightly.

From this moment on, they were no longer just partners, but true comrades-in-arms.

Three days later, the news arrived.

Nightshade's lair was razed to the ground by the Hyena Commando.

The leader's head was hung on a cliff outside Paris, with a line of words written in blood next to it.

"The wrath of the predator is a blood debt that must be repaid in blood."

Under pressure, the Leclerc family eventually handed over three executives involved in the case, including Sofia's deputy.

It is said that Sofia smashed everything in her office, but ultimately did not dare to come to Zangwie in person to apologize.

She knew very well that this assassination could only succeed and could not fail.

Since she didn't finish, it meant she lost everything.

Since the situation was beyond saving, she stopped showing herself, otherwise she feared she would have suffered an even worse death.

On the terrace of the Golden Lion's Nest estate, life seemed to suddenly return to normal and become mundane.

Qin Hao and Ailiya watched the sunset side by side.

After going through so much and sharing another life-or-death experience, their close relationship reached an unprecedented peak.

The distant mines have been revitalized; as far as the eye can see, they are filled with gleaming silver, flowing into their wallets like a never-ending stream.

"What's next?"

Gazing at the beautiful scenery, Aria leaned on his shoulder, her voice soft.

Qin Hao put his arm around her waist and looked into the distance.

"I've made up my mind, I plan to go to the Katanga Plateau."

"The Hellfire Mercenary Group is troublesome, but as long as we join forces, there's nothing we can't handle."

He can't settle down yet; there are some things he needs to deal with.

Otherwise, things will still get very tricky, especially since Sofia, who is behind it all, has not shown herself at all.

"Ah."

Aria nodded, then suddenly remembered something, looked up at him, and whispered in a barely audible voice, "Oh right, that $70,000 analyzer..."

Qin Hao couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead, saying with a smile, "The debt has been settled. You can't escape it now, even if it takes a lifetime."

"Hate!"

"..."

The setting sun stretched their shadows very long.

The distant roar of the mines did not attract the attention of the two who had fallen in love.

The following day, on the Katanga Plateau, in a makeshift room.

This space served as a meeting room, with Qin Hao in charge.

Qin Hao stood in front of the huge screen projection and used the pen in his hand to draw the red warning line marking the Hellfire control zone.

"Charlie, give me the latest updates on cobalt price fluctuations."

"no problem."

Charlie nodded slightly and tapped on the laptop keyboard.

At the same time, the candlestick chart on the screen is smoothly projected onto the large screen.

"Sir, cobalt prices on the London Metal Exchange have gapped up for three consecutive days, and Leclerc Group is secretly selling off its inventory."

"They're trying to drive down the price and force us to concede." Upon hearing this, Qin Hao immediately understood the meaning behind it.

"Yes."

Charlie paused, then pulled up another form.

“But their West African warehouse throughput is unusual, and I suspect that major funds are taking over.”

"It's just that we can't yet determine who the main funder is."

Qin Hao's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Interesting, another conglomerate has joined in?"

He really didn't understand why these people, who had already failed so many times, were still unwilling to give up and wanted to pour money into the business.

Outside the tent, Ailiya was directing the engineering team to debug new drilling equipment.

Her honey-colored skin, glistening with sweat under the blazing sun, looked incredibly tempting.

Qin Hao glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Most importantly, this little princess wasn't joking; she really took on all the responsibilities of a technician and wasn't afraid of hard work.

She wasn't really the carefree little princess who relied on her grandfather, as the outside world described her.

Three days ago, Arya led the Predator's technical team to complete the analysis of the ore vein samples.

This copper-cobalt associated mine has a cobalt purity of up to 4%, which is three times that of Devil's Throat.

Although four percent may not seem like much, mining is like gambling; you never know exactly how much can be extracted.

“Find the finance department and have them pledge the first phase of Devil’s Throat’s output to the National Bank of Zambia.”

Qin Hao snapped out of his thoughts and suddenly spoke, catching Charlie off guard. Charlie quickly typed on the keyboard to write it down.

"Then, I'll use that money to establish a long position on the London Stock Exchange. I'm going to make Leclerc's sell orders hit a brick wall and get stuck."

Charlie's pupils constricted sharply as he exclaimed, "Boss, this is equivalent to betting our entire cash flow!"

“If mining in Katanga is hindered, we will be in a very passive position. You need to think twice!”

"Blocked?"

Qin Hao turned around again to look outside the tent. Ailiya was holding a geological hammer and striking the rocks, occasionally talking to the person next to her, as if she was testing some kind of purity.

"The leader of Hellfire sent a challenge yesterday, saying he wants us to taste what it's like to be devoured by wolves."

"What? Are these people crazy?"

Charlie couldn't help but swear.

"So it's normal for you to be worried about being blocked. But what you don't know is that the Predator armored convoy has already bypassed their three lines of defense."
