Marvel: Spear Bureau Technical Advisor

Under the jacket, Mariko is wearing a thin plain suspender dress, which fits the atmosphere of her father's death just now, and also fits the saying that "a woman should be pretty and be filial".

Xiangqian couldn't help suspecting that the girl was already ready before coming; so he stopped Mariko's next move with a sneer.

"Miss Mariko, I suggest you don't make such a plan—if I didn't guess your plan wrong." Said forward, "Do you think I will easily change the tens of billions of dollars just because I slept with a woman?" investment strategy?"

"To put it bluntly, if you want a woman, just give me a call. What kind of woman can't you find?"

Xiangqian clearly expressed his attitude of refusal, but his tone was not that of a gentleman, but full of frivolity, and his glances were extremely rude.

Well, the body curve is a bit thin, especially if you compare it with Erica a few days ago; but those long legs can add a lot of points.

The color of Mariko's cheeks faded in an instant, and then turned red again, and her eyes were already filled with tears.

It is already a disgrace for a woman to offer her devotion, and it is doubly so if her devotion is rejected—or by an admittedly lewd dandy.

Mariko sat back on the sofa in a daze, hugged her arms tightly, frowned slightly, and fought back the tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

Xiang Xiang sighed inwardly with a "tsk tut" in his heart; once women are willing to let go, they will naturally know how to use their gender advantages to gain benefits, as if this is their natural instinct.

But when it comes to larger and more critical interests, Playboy will never soften his heart-no matter who he is facing-otherwise he will not be able to support his current career.

"What do you want?" Mariko was a little afraid to look forward at this moment, and every time he met the man's gaze, it seemed to deepen his humiliation to himself.

Leaning forward and back, he crossed his legs comfortably; "This is something you need to think about; from my personal experience, a successful decision-maker can only deepen his impression and make more accurate decisions when he has figured it out. judgments and decisions.”

There was a long silence in the room.

Mariko huddled in the sofa, her originally tall figure shrinking and getting smaller, lost in thought.

He is not in a hurry to move forward, he has enough patience to wait for the long night.The layout of the Wude Group in Japan has a long-term bearing on it. What he needs is an ally with sufficient capabilities and long-term cooperation, not a vase that only sells beauty.

As time went by, Mariko began to change; the expression on her face gradually relaxed, and her huddled body also expanded with the change of expression.

From a psychological point of view, this is a manifestation of the gradual clarity of thoughts; such changes in facial expressions and body movements mean that the problem of thinking has come to fruition, or a clear decision has been made.

Watching forward with interest.

When Mariko finally raised her head and dared to look forward, her eyes had become bright.

"Your goal has never been financial gain; that's just an additional goal." Mariko's tone was both tempting and certain; "I'm trying to convince you with the threat of financial loss, which is originally Incorrect."

Qianqian smiled knowingly: "Miss Mariko, I'm glad you've started to get in touch with the essence of the matter. I think we can continue talking."

Xiangqian is very happy that this potential ally has such a keen eye, and can quickly discover that the cooperation between Wude Group and Yashida is not about money and profit.

Xiangqian never said that he didn't like money, and never touched money.

On the contrary, he has expressed to the public more than once: money is very important to him, because it is a tool for him to achieve higher goals.

It's a pity that most people don't believe this rhetoric; but today, the young girl sitting in front of him can see it.

With this level of judgment, it is possible to continue to discuss many things.

Only when both sides are fully aware of the other's strategic goals can an alliance be formed in the long run; cooperation based on deceit is doomed to be unsustainable.

"But I'm not sure what kind of harm your goal will bring to the Yashida Group." Mariko has recovered her calm at this time, which is also the most suitable state for thinking and judgment.

Xiangqian asked back: "What kind of harm can it cause? For today's Yashida Group, can the Wutoku Group be more terrifying than those enemies in Japan who are staring at it like a tiger?"

Qianqian's words hit the real worry in Mariko's heart.In the arena of power and interests, there is an irrefutable truth: one's own people are more terrifying than outsiders.

From ancient times to the present, from the emperor to the princes, the blood of every power struggle often permeates between blood relatives-especially in Japan, a country with strong feudal remnants.

Because your brothers and nephews shed the same blood as you, they naturally have the legitimacy to seize power; on the contrary, it is not so easy for outsiders to restrain themselves.

This principle also applies to modern times and to today's Yashida Group.

Various forces in Japan will recklessly dismember and devour Yashida, because this is an internal struggle; on the contrary, outsiders will restrain their hands and pay attention to eating, so as to avoid offending public anger.

Therefore, not only forward needs the ally of the Yashida Group, but for Mariko, forward is also the most suitable partner for the Yashida Group at present—at least the safest.

But Mariko was not easily persuaded, and she had doubts: "What I am worried about is your real purpose. Pay tens of billions of dollars to seek benefits other than money; this benefit will inevitably be greater and more dangerous."

"Don't be so nervous. Strictly speaking, I just want to buy a ticket to enter the game field through the Yashida family."

"Tickets?" Mariko was a little puzzled.

"In Japan, in the United States, and in Europe, capitalists can openly use money to buy political influence; you are the masters of the country." Xiangqian said in a candid tone, "I seek cooperation with the Yashida family, just to participate in This political game."

"Then what do you want to achieve through the game?" Mariko asked.

Spread your hands forward: "World peace? Sino-Japanese friendship?"

Mariko was speechless and looked sideways.

"Well, no kidding." Xiangqian said with a smile, "I can assure you that my purpose will not harm the fundamental interests of the Yashida Group; Get involved in this game."

Mariko fell into deep thought again; after a long time, she spoke with some difficulty: "I don't believe you... But, I don't seem to have a better choice."

"Have you decided?" Qianqian asked with a smile; his reaction to Mariko was not surprising.

Mariko nodded: "It's decided, but I need clearer cooperation details to guarantee..."

"No, no, no!" Qianqian stood up, walked up to Mariko and looked down at her; the tall figure brought a strong sense of oppression, forcing Mariko to stand up in a hurry.

"Now that the principle of cooperation in the general direction has been determined, then..." He raised his hand forward, and gently slid his fingertips upwards along the jade arm of the young newly promoted Japanese rich woman until it caught the sling on the shoulder.

"The next discussion on the details, we can change the way of talking - in a more candid way."

With a light hook of the finger, the thin dress fell to the ground along with the man's voice; under the dress, there was a dazzling white.

……

Limbo, the desolate place on the edge of hell.

Liana was floating in mid-air, and beneath her feet were the ruins of the collapsed castle.There was only one lonely tower left in the former royal city of Velasco, and Her Majesty the new Queen had no plans to restore it.

The sky here is a dark red that symbolizes death.However, since forwardly refusing the rules bestowed by the Goddess of Death, the rules of death contained in this pocket universe have become negligible, and the connection with the dimension of hell has also become negligible.

In the depths of the sky, there is a space crack that can only be explored with spiritual consciousness, leading to the depths of the hell dimension.This is also the only passage to the dimension of hell left in the border of hell.

Liana has been hesitating whether to completely seal this crack, cut off the connection with hell, and completely strip away the death rules of this pocket universe for the future.

The greatest danger contained in this is the death of the God of Creation who offended the universe.

"What is Her Majesty thinking?"

A familiar man's voice sounded in Liana's heart; every creature and every soul in this world has a soul link with the dimensional lord, the only difference is that a few links can actively send messages to the lord, while most of the others can only passively wait.

Hearing this voice, Liana rolled her eyes and ignored it.

"It's not a good idea to risk death's wrath until you have full control over Limbo," the voice continued.

Liana was still looking up at the gap in mid-air, motionless.

"You still have a life-and-death enemy, and Sithorn's threat is more worthy of concern." The man's voice was relentless.

Liana finally retracted her gaze, and turned to look down at the smiling playboy on the ground.

"Didn't I say that after I finish my business in Japan, I will accompany you to New York to find your brother?" Qianqian waved his hand in the air and continued to convey his heartfelt voice; "Now is the time."

Liana finally couldn't bear it and said back: "I thought you should have thought of this two days ago."

"Two days ago... the spatial fluctuation I noticed was indeed you." Xiang Qiang seemed to be in a daze.

Seeing Xiangqian's face full of laughter, Liana suddenly lost her temper; she swooped down from mid-air suddenly, fell down like a cannonball, and landed in front of Qiangqian, stirring up a large cloud of dust.

"Of course it's me!" Liana no longer conveyed her heart, but angrily reprimanded her face to face; "Why didn't you wilt in fright at the time?!"

Still that familiar tiger-wolf accent.

When Liana used space teleportation to find Xiangqian two days ago, she arrived precisely at Xiangqian's side; and that time happened to be a critical moment when he and Mariko "discussed deeply" the cooperation details.

At that time, Xiangqian felt the familiar spatial fluctuations, but the transmission channel disappeared quickly before it was fully formed.It was only afterward that I remembered that Liana's space transmission method can see the situation on the other side of the passage before the passage is formed.

The difference between before and after the channel is formed is only whether people can cross the space, not the line of sight.

"On the one hand, I didn't realize it at the time." The playboy knew very well that he must not show the slightest apologetic expression and emotion at this moment, lest the girl make an inch and chase after the victory.

"Secondly, you should have a deep understanding of my nerve toughness."

Liana gritted her teeth and glared at the shameless man, the expression on her face became more and more dangerous: "Didn't react? Didn't react the first time? Didn't react the fourth time in a row? You knew I was by your side, but you still It’s fun to play.”

To talk to this girl, a man must have enough tough nerves, otherwise he will be hit by her car every minute and be unable to take care of himself.

Qianqian smiled wryly: "You don't know how to see the end from the beginning?"

"From beginning to end? You tossed that woman for most of the night. She has enough stamina, but I don't have that much patience." Liana turned around and walked towards the tower—that's where she lives now.

He walked forward and wanted to keep up, but when Liana turned her head, the sword of soul flashed a cold light, pointing directly at his throat.

"Whoa..." Qian Qiang stopped tactfully, "Don't be angry, that's just a way of negotiating; she and I just want to use this way to improve the credibility of both parties a little bit - that's more of a kind of transaction."

"Really? The first time I saw that woman, she seemed a bit reluctant; but when I went there for the fourth time, she seemed very devoted." Liana said coldly, "I feel that her eyes The long legs wish they could pinch you off."

Qianqian looked weird: "Are you jealous of her, or are you jealous of her long legs?"

"SHIT!" Liana raised her sword and was about to stab Qianqian in the face.

Playboy did not retreat but advanced, and simply walked forward against the edge of the sword; at the critical moment, it was Liana who retreated first, and the sword of soul kept retreating.Until finally, when there was no way to retreat, and the forward throat was about to hit, the sword light disappeared suddenly.

He moved forward smoothly to get close to the queen, and put his arms around her slender waist.It was only then that Liana realized that she reached out and pushed the man's chest, but she couldn't break free from his embrace.

The powerful Queen of Hell's Frontier seemed to become weak all of a sudden.

This proves that a useless girl who meets a playboy will definitely be bullied to death, even the queen is no exception.

"Are you still going to see your brother today?" Xiang Qiang asked the girl in his arms tenderly.

Liana looked away sullenly.

"You should be happy when you go home." Qiang Qiang tried to persuade Her Majesty to break down Her Majesty's resistance.

"As far as I know, Piot has always missed you for many years." Go forward and launch a family offensive; at this time, you can no longer talk about Mariko, and it is best to use other topics to distract the other party's attention .

Sure enough, Liana responded: "Missing me? He never came to see me." Her dissatisfaction with Qiang seemed to be shifting to Colossus.

"Of course not." Xiangqian felt that he wanted to say something nice for Colossus to ease Her Majesty's dissatisfaction; of course it was not for Colossus' older brother, but mainly for himself.

"How do you think I guessed your identity when I first met? If someone didn't keep talking about you, how would I know your name?"
