Witch Wind

Chapter 82 Thunderous Means (Part )

Looking at the gold nugget that was rapidly changing between Xing Tianli's fingers, Tanglar was dazzled and his body shook involuntarily. He exhaled, stretched out his hand and fiercely grabbed the gold nugget in Xing Tianli's hand.

The gold nugget was so hard at the touch, and because of Xing Tianli's vigorous rubbing, the gold nugget kept twisting and deforming, and the temperature of the entire gold nugget became much higher.

Danglar grinned and said, "Then, Mr. Commercial Counselor, how can you help me resist all external threats? Please let me see your sincerity!"

Xing Tianli looked at the dozens of business department employees standing in the yard and said with a smile: "So, you have been here for seven years, you must know who the person sent by His Highness is?"

Danglars decisively pointed out seven people from the crowd and called out their names.

Xing Tianli laughed loudly. He whistled and a group of disciples from the Five Mountains Hall rushed over and easily caught the person pointed out by Tanglar. The seven people screamed and cursed, struggling madly.

Xing Tianli stretched out his left hand and gently pinched the air.

'Boom'!
Seven heads suddenly exploded.

All the employees present in the Business Department took a deep breath, as if they had seen a god or demon, and looked at Xing Tianli with great horror and fear, yet great respect.

They fear power but not virtue. The foreign masters in the hundreds of countries in the far west actually have the same mean temperament as the people of Dongyun.

Xing Tianli deliberately showed off his martial arts, just like using a red-hot iron to mark a bad horse. This scene was enough to be deeply imprinted in everyone's mind, allowing them to remember it clearly for at least the next three to five years.

If you want to do something, you must always keep in mind - is your head as strong as those of these seven unlucky guys?
Danglar's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the seven bodies lying on the ground. After a long, long time, he exhaled heavily and turned suddenly to look at Xing Tianli.

He knew he was useful.

He had no doubt that he had enough talent and ability, and that in the Business Department, compared with a dandy like McLaren, he was the most talented and the one most worth winning over.

But he also knew that he would have no chance of making a breakthrough in his life.

how can that be possible?
His father could at most protect him from being killed by some ugly means, but even so, he had a few narrow escapes in the past seven years, and he almost died. The most thrilling one was that half of his body was swallowed by the jungle anaconda unique to Black Borneo, and he almost became a pile of messy feces!

The best his father could do was to protect him and allow him to live a miserable and struggling life.

Even though he knew who had attacked him over the years, he didn't even dare to think of revenge.

But Xing Tianli!
Tanglar's face, which had been tanned by the scorching sun of Black Borneo, was faintly red. He bowed deeply to Xing Tianli solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Then, respected Commercial Counselor..."

Xing Tianli patted his shoulder and said, "We will be friends from now on. You will be fully responsible for the daily work of the Business Office. You don't have to worry about what I do on a daily basis. Or, if you have the energy and the leisure time, you can also participate."

"When I need your help, whether it's money, manpower, material resources, or other necessary resources, you must guarantee that you will do your best? Okay?"

Xing Tianli asked Tanglar with a smile.

Killing seven lackeys is just a matter of words. It's just the cousin of Her Majesty the Queen. He has the support of Augustus, the Queen's plenipotentiary envoy. What's the big deal about offending the Queen's cousin?

what!
If the distance was not too far, Xing Tianli even wanted to kill her seven lackeys in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess. In this way, it would be very interesting if he could provoke a fight between her and Augustus!
The blood is boiling.

The murderous nature of the Great Primordial Witch was reviving, and Xing Tianli's style of behavior was gradually moving closer to that of the Xing Tian clan, the source of his bloodline. Fortunately, Xing Tianli himself possessed a celestial soul, and the fundamental method of his cultivation was constantly improving his body and purifying his blood, while also strengthening his soul.

Today, Xing Tianli's spiritual power has increased several times compared to when he ascended to heaven in his previous life.

Otherwise, how could only seven people die in the business office today? McLaren and his guards would never be able to leave this primitive and wild continent alive.

In response to Xing Tianli's question, Tanglar just smiled and bowed deeply to him again.

"Very good, now let's get the daily work of the Business Office running normally." Xing Tianli said in a deep voice: "The current manpower is definitely not enough. I need more reliable and available people. Especially the guard team, gather enough people to form our own guard team!"

Narrowing his eyes, Xing Tianli said in a deep voice: "I don't trust the people from the Far West Hundred Kingdoms. There may be some people sent in by the princess among them. I also don't trust the people from Dongyun. Those dwarfs have no credibility and loyalty."

Danglar nodded in understanding. "Then our guards will be mainly composed of simple, honest, honest and loyal Easterners. How many guards do we need?"

Looking at Xing Tianli's Oriental physical features such as black hair, black eyes, and light yellow skin, Tanglar generously used some adjectives that sounded quite nice.

Xing Tianli held up three fingers and said, "Three thousand people! First, post a notice to recruit three thousand Dongguo people from the entire Jinshan Town to serve as the guards of the Commerce Office."

Danglar's eyes were dazed for a moment. Three thousand guards?
"This, the funding issue!" Tanglar's head was a little cramped. Three thousand guards, in this damn broken place of Black Borneo, according to the salary standards of the Royal Army Colonial Garrison of the Kingdom of Ingish, each person has to pay various subsidies every month, such as high temperature subsidy, humidity subsidy, miasma subsidy, mosquito subsidy, and indigenous risk subsidy. It is impossible to do it without twenty taels of silver.

Adding the daily expenses of food and drink, these 3,000 guards would cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver per month. In a year, this would be 1 million taels of silver. This expense is simply terrifying!
Before Xing Tianli, the entire Commercial Office had only McLaren's two hundred personal guards. Including Danglar, the other officials each had seventy, eighty or ninety personal bodyguards around them. In addition, there was a guard team of a hundred people stationed in the Commercial Office. All the bodyguards added up to less than four hundred people!

This time, the expansion is almost ten times?
"Money is not a problem." Xing Tianli smiled: "Our Lord McLaren will definitely be happy to provide some financial assistance for our safety. Moreover, there are so many lovely and generous gentlemen!"

Xing Tianli pointed at the dozens of business department employees present and said calmly: "I know that the Black Borneo Business Department must be a lucrative department. Tanglar, they are left to you to deal with. Who can be retained and who will be fired? You have one day to solve this problem!"

"For those who are retained, let them work for me with peace of mind. For those who are expelled, let them leave the same way they came to Black Borneo, and not even a grain of extra sand is allowed to be taken away!"

Xing Tianli gestured to Tata: "Tata, you are responsible for assisting Mr. Tanglar and helping our expelled, generous, and respectable gentlemen to restore their original appearance!"

Tata frowned.

He thought hard about what Xing Tianli said, what did it mean by 'the original appearance it should have'.

The truth is, in Tata's culture, there is no similar language expression. Whenever they need to communicate something, they just use a wave of mental power. All their thoughts, opinions, and attitudes are straightforward, and everyone knows and understands.

When Xing Tianli said this, Tata and eight other companions formed a temporary mental network. The nine of them thought together for a moment, and then they understood - well, it was just to squeeze them dry, was it necessary to put it in such a complicated way?
Tata rolled up his sleeves with great interest and grinned at Danglars: "So, who should we start with? Mr. Danglars, please believe in our ability. We can help them remember where the last copper coin in their pocket is hidden!"

Tata and several of his companions smiled brightly.

During the whole journey, they were constantly traveling on the passenger ship and everything was safe and sound, but this made them feel very energetic.

Now that they have the opportunity to use a little trick, they will definitely be able to dig out the deepest secrets in these people's minds - isn't it just mental piercing plus underlying mental excavation?

For them, this is just the most basic mental operation.

Danglar pursed his lips, nodded to Xing Tianli, and walked slowly towards his colleagues with pale faces in front of him with extremely steady steps. "Well, dear gentlemen, please forgive me, I am going to be rude. Ah, I miss the good times in the past few years when we worked together to deal with various problems."

"You ridiculed a lowly bastard like me to my face, you criticized me behind my back, you even provided all kinds of conveniences for those seven guys just now, making it easier for them to find ways to assassinate me. You even set up a bet on whether I could survive a certain assassination attempt!"

"Merciful Virgin Mary, we should have a good talk."

Tanglar smiled very brightly: "Especially, the three deputy general managers who are of the same status as me, I have a small account book here. It records how much bribes you have received and how much public funds you have embezzled since you came to Black Borneo over the years. You have also joined forces to make false accounts and swallowed up how much profit from those state-owned mines!"

"Every stroke is clear and distinct. There probably aren't many omissions!"

"Now, it's time for you to spit out the money."

A handsome man with a beard, blond hair, red eyes, and quite a bit of handsomeness shouted angrily: "Danglar, do you want to provoke the family behind us at the same time? Who gave you the courage and bravery?"

Danglars chuckled, shook his head slightly, and smiled contemptuously: "Fools, you don't understand at all, a bastard who is forced into a desperate situation, how crazy he will be for the smallest possibility!"

He actually pulled out a small ivory-handled pistol and shot the blond man twice at his knees. With a shrill howl, Danglars blew the smoke from the muzzle of the gun with pride and said faintly, "I have wanted to kill you for a long time, damn you, you are just the son of a poor earl. If your sister hadn't hooked up with the Marquis, would you have come here to show off your power?"

"I remember clearly that three years ago, on March 8, you drove out for half a morning. When you came back, you reimbursed me for a hundred barrels of gasoline. Damn it, what did you do to use up a hundred barrels of gasoline in half a morning?"

"Do you know how long I have been agonizing over helping you balance this account on paper?"

"You even found hostesses outside, slept with them, and didn't even pay them, which made the gang leaders behind them chase me to the Business Office to ask for money! You damned guy, you should be thankful that I, Danglar, am a kind-hearted person, otherwise, I should have shot you in the head just now!"

Xing Tianli stood by with his eyes wide open in horror.

Wow, an ordinary car used up a hundred barrels of gasoline in half a morning. Is this possible?
That's fine, it's just embezzling some gas money, what's that?

However, even the personal income had to be paid from the public funds of the Commerce Department.

This, this, even the most despicable gangsters in the underworld of Dayu Dynasty would not do such a shameless thing. Can you deny the money for sex?

Xing Tianli asked Danglar to call a few agile and capable native maids, and took them to the top floor of the main building to tidy up the office that originally belonged to McLaren bit by bit.

All the overly fancy and extravagant furnishings, such as gold nuggets and silver nuggets, were stuffed into his sleeves. Large pieces of raw gemstones were also stuffed into his sleeves. Things like pearls, corals, tortoise shells, and other valuable items were also stuffed into his sleeves.

Others were just for beauty, such as python skulls, leopard skeletons, fierce cat furs, large fans and screens made from the beautiful wings of various birds, and they were all left for the maids to carry away.

There are two dark rooms in the office, and four safes hidden behind secret doors.

Xing Tianli opened the dark room easily. There was nothing else inside but big bags of gold sand. After preliminary refining, the gold sand was yellow, golden, icy and heavy. The two dark rooms, which were three meters long and wide and about two meters high, were filled with leather bags of various sizes, all of which were filled with gold sand.

God knows where McLaren got so much gold from, the total amount is amazing, but now, it all belongs to Xing Tianli. Although the purity of the gold is not high, only about 70 to 80 percent, the total amount is too large.

The four safes are filled with refined gold bricks that have reached a purity of 3.9.

Each gold brick weighed ten kilograms, and there were three thousand gold bricks in four safes, which equaled thirty thousand kilograms of gold. Each gold brick was branded with the McLaren family emblem of the fleur-de-lis shield, and was so well made that it made people feel happy just by looking at it.

In addition to the 3,000 gold bricks, there were dozens of large leather bags in the safe, filled with large pieces of roughly carved rubies, sapphires, diamonds, etc. The largest of them was a pink diamond, which was nearly the size of an adult's fist, and of amazing quality, a rare treasure.

The other dozens of pockets were filled with the most valuable black pearls.

The black pearls in these leather bags were the size of an adult's thumb, but they were only of average quality. The best quality black pearls were the size of a baby's fist. With Xing Tianli's knowledge, he couldn't estimate how big a storm this treasure would cause if it was returned to Yingjishi.

"Well, three thousand guards are definitely not enough. For these black pearls, a certain marquis or princess might dare to mobilize a fleet to bombard me. Fortunately, Jinshan Town is far away from the port, and no artillery can reach here."

Xing Tianli knew very well that he had not killed McLaren, and this guy naturally knew what was hidden in his safe. For the gold, a certain powerful marquis would definitely kill someone; and for these gems and black pearls, a certain princess might even run to the queen and cry.

"Well, send a telegram and ask Nanxun Town to send a few more groups of people over." Xing Tianli smiled and said, "We can't send too many people at a time. The tall and strong men of the Xingtian family will attract too much attention. Those short Dongyun people will go crazy! It's better to boil the toads in warm water batch by batch, slowly."

The maids were extremely agile, and they tried to show off in front of their new boss. They ran breathlessly and sweated profusely, fearing that they would lose this well-paid job.

Soon, McLaren's office was cleaned up. Even the curtains with extremely sexy colors and patterns were all removed by Xing Tianli. The carpets on the floor were also rolled up and thrown away at Xing Tianli's order.

After driving a few maids out of the bare office, Xing Tianli took out a set of household items he had bought in Nanxun Town from his sleeve.

The whole set of Huanghuali wood has the beauty of Song and Ming utensils, unique oriental furniture, bookcases, desks, coffee tables, long tables, stools, etc. The floor is also covered with straw mats, which are elegant in color, natural and harmonious, and match these ancient furniture together, it looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

In the middle of the office, Xing Tianli placed a three-legged round tripod that was almost the same shape as the small tripod in his body, but the pattern on the surface was countless times simpler. The tripod was six feet high and was made by Xing Tianli himself when he was bored.

Three high-quality incense sticks were lit in the large cauldron, and the whole office was filled with fragrance, which quickly dispelled the faint body odor left by McLaren.

In the four corners of the office, Xing Tianli placed four Feng Shui talismans made of bronze in the directions of east, south, west and north. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, each of them was engraved with hundreds of shining witch patterns.

After the four suppressing devices were put down, as Xing Tianli recited the witch spell, the four suppressing devices began to take effect.

The air in the office quickly became extremely clean and fresh, and any possible viruses, insect eggs, etc. in the air were quickly swept away. This clean and fresh feeling also began to spread around Xing Tianli's office, gradually covering the entire business department.

There was also an invisible sense of shock pervading the air. In Jinshan Town, poisonous snakes, scorpions, toads, centipedes and other creatures were often seen. I felt inexplicably frightened and quickly moved away from this unfamiliar business office.

"Very good, but a little strenuous." Xing Tianli felt the consumption of these four suppressors.

In this Dharma Ending Age, the four magic weapons can only be regarded as primary magic weapons, and they need him to replenish a certain amount of Taichu Qi and life essence every month. For Xing Tianli, who now has a large family and a lot of business, this is nothing.

While Xing Tianli was busy decorating his office and living room, Tanglar had already started working very efficiently.

At noon, he posted the notice for recruiting guards.

Before long, groups of Eastern men, with an average height of around six feet, came happily to offer their services.

He Duo and He Xi greeted them warmly, and before they even registered them, they directly opened the armory of the Commercial Office and distributed a large number of guns and ammunition.

In just half an afternoon, a team of three thousand guards had been formed!
