One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

Chapter 197

Jiang Bailan and Qu Tong knew this.

As a star who was unparalleled in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, was hailed as one of the Three Heroes by a group of netizens, and was quickly promoted by the company to a non-existent special envoy, how could Qu Tong, the president of Yaoxing Society, not know about it?

Even though Shining Star Society tried to interview this rising star of the supernatural multiple times, they never had the chance.

It was precisely because Qu Tong was aware of Jiang Bailan's bizarre strength that she temporarily put aside her grief over losing her brother. Although Ma Xianhong was one of his pawns, their long-term interaction ultimately made him slightly different from the other pawns who had been completely brainwashed...

But it's only slightly different.

Revenge is acceptable, but it cannot interfere with her plans. In order to achieve her goals, everyone must give way.

Leaning back on the expensive gold European-style sofa, Qu Tong, with her neat purple short hair, rubbed her temples, revealing her flat and toned abdomen and magnificent figure.

After a moment's hesitation, she decided to try to reach out to the other person.

Based on the intelligence gathered by Yaoxing Society, Qu Tong believed that as long as she was willing to invest, the greedy and lustful Jiang Bailan might be able to become one of her own.

Besides...

Qu Tong's right hand was enveloped by a ball of blue Qi.

As long as Jiang Bailan lowers his guard, Qu Tong is confident that she can use her dual-wielding technique to modify his memory and make him like Ma Xianhong, a member of her family.

Or perhaps, become her lover.

"Old Jiang, this is for you."

Beside the dark green NaDuTong courier truck, Zhuge Qing handed a small square booklet to Jiang Bailan in front of him.

"what?"

Jiang Bailan blinked.

"Eight Extraordinary Skills: Divine Machine Refinement".

Zhuge Qing spoke calmly, without the hesitation he had shown when he first received it from Ma Xianhong.

Divine Craftsmanship Refinement?

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing's words, the group of temporary workers who had been going through Zhang Chulan's private information all turned around.

"Old Qing, how did you come to know the Divine Hundred Refinements?" Wang Ye asked, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

"Why are you giving this to me? It's like the Tongtian Talisman; what use is it other than propping up table legs?" Jiang Bailan was speechless. Why did everyone give him useless things? Lu Jin was like this, and Zhuge Qing was like this too. Then he asked, "Are you sure you don't want to practice it? Didn't you come to Biyou Village for this thing?"

The temporary workers: ...Standing up the table legs, what a bold statement.

However, they couldn't refute it. As far as Jiang Bailan's world-destroying power was concerned, he simply didn't have it!

Zhuge Qing: ...Truly worthy of being called Old Jiang.

Only Wang Ye truly agreed.

What's wrong with the Eight Extraordinary Skills? Aren't they just for using air conditioning?

Zhuge Qing did not answer Wang Ye, but smiled and said, "I originally planned to practice it, but now I feel it's unnecessary."

Thinking of the Crazy Queen's Strange Techniques used to snatch computers in internet cafes, and the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements that had been used to create countless magical treasures but were of little use, Zhuge Qing thought that the Eight Extraordinary Techniques were nothing special and not much more noble than the unique skills of his Zhuge family.

Compared to Jiang Bailan, most extraordinary skills seem too mediocre!

Having freed himself from the torment of his inner demons and regained his composure, Zhuge Qing believed that he would soon be able to awaken the "Eight Extraordinary Techniques - Samadhi True Fire" belonging to the Zhuge family.

Naturally, there is no longer a need for divine intervention.

Moreover, he didn't want to be harassed like Zhang Chulan and Lao Wang, so he simply handed this trouble over to Jiang Bailan for safekeeping.

"Alright!" Jiang Bailan nodded, took the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements from Zhuge Qing's hand, and then waved to Feng Baobao, who was watching the excitement in the crowd, "Sister Baobao, come here."

"What are you doing?"

Sloppy and looking adorably dazed, Feng Baobao walked over.

"Here, give this to Lao Zhao when we get back to the company." Jiang Bailan handed the Divine Hundred Refinements to the other party.

"Oh!"

When they discovered that Jiang Bailan had given the Divine Refinement Hundred Treasures to Feng Baobao, everyone present looked puzzled.

Only in the distance, Zhang Chulan, with half his face swollen like a pig's head, limped out of the woods, revealing a slight smile.

"Oh, right, you can take this guy back to the company too."

"Ma Xianhong!"

"Old horse!"

The moment the Devouring Pouch was opened and the unconscious Ma Xianhong was released, everyone present stared wide-eyed. They hadn't expected that the other party was still alive.

It's no wonder they were shocked.

After all, how could the opponent possibly survive an attack that stripped away even the very foundation of their territory?

Of course, Ma Xianhong's survival was entirely thanks to Jiang Bailan.

Before the full power of Flash Kick MAX could be unleashed, he slapped Old Ma unconscious and then put him into his pouch, thus saving the man's life.

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Jiang Bailan left the person behind and then transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the vast night.

Next up is Jiang Bailan's moment!

Not long after Jiang Bailan left, the temporary worker reported the important news that Ma Xianhong was not dead to the board of directors.

-

The next day, Beijing.

Jiang Bailan, who had just experienced a night of romance, had just entered the headquarters building of Nadutong when she saw Xu Si, a pink-haired man with messy hair, leaning against the wall smoking and discussing something with Zhang Chulan with a worried expression.

"Brother Lan!"

Zhang Chulan called out to Jiang Bailan as she walked over.

"Xiao Jiang, it's been a while. We should all get together tonight!" Xu Si said, putting his arm around Jiang Bailan's shoulder.

"No problem, what were you guys talking about just now?"

Xu Si then told him about Ma Xianhong's kidnapping.

Upon hearing the explanation, Jiang Bailan merely curled the corner of her mouth, but her heart remained completely unmoved.

Putting aside the fact that he already knew Ma Xianhong would be kidnapped by Qu Tong, he really didn't know who the company's security could defend against, since even Quanxing couldn't prevent it.

Suddenly, Jiang Bailan casually asked about Xia Liuqing and Balun, who had been arrested earlier.

Seemingly understanding what Jiang Bailan meant, Xu Si's expression stiffened, and he remained silent.

Quanxing: "I came, oh, I'm leaving again!"

Jiang Bailan: "...No, they really got away? Is the company really made of paper?"

Seemingly to save face, Xu Si explained, "Xiao Jiang, it's different. Because of the special nature of Quanxing, the company doesn't have many security personnel, but Ma Xianhong is different..."

The special nature of Quanxing...

Suddenly, Jiang Bailan remembered the only victim of the Wang family's destruction and thought to herself, "It is indeed quite useful."

"Alright, even if Ma Xianhong was kidnapped, what does it have to do with you?"

Faced with Jiang Bailan's question, Xu Si sighed and continued, "Because Ma Xianhong was kidnapped, the board of directors suspects there is a mole in the company, so they are preparing to put the people who participated in this operation on the bench."

When Xu Si mentioned it, Jiang Bailan remembered the "leniency bench," a lie detector with almost 100% accuracy in the original novel.

Now that he heard that, he remembered what Xu Si and Zhang Chulan were troubled about.

It's simply because they don't want Feng Baobao to be forced onto the bench, thus preventing the secret of her immortality from being exposed...
