I'm No Gentleman

Li Yao had always felt a sense of unease or fear towards Madam Qian.

It's as if everything about me is laid bare under those gentle yet time-tested eyes, yet being around her feels like a breath of fresh air, making me unconsciously let down my guard.

It's even more terrifying than the "Alluring Persona" spell effect in the Enchantment tree.

Li Yao immediately stood up and led the two from the doorway to the fireplace.

Madam Qian glanced at the fireplace and smiled, "This place has some interesting ideas. Xiao Li, don't be nervous. I just came to take a look on a whim. It's all very casual."

"Okay, sure."

Old Man Lu was overjoyed at the sight.

This brat usually talks back and forth like a madman, but now he's backed down?

"Look at you!" Madam Qian and Li Yao chatted casually, and Li Yao quickly relaxed. Taking advantage of a lull in their conversation, Li Yao suddenly asked, "You should have found out who's behind the Sierra Leone space incident, right?"

Old Man Lu's face tightened! Madam Qian, her expression unchanged, said, "Yes, we've found out. It was an attack launched by the American Faction in conjunction with Hydra. You want revenge?"

Li Yao: "That's right."

Madam Qian advised, "Xiao Li, you should know that you are still young. As the old saying goes, 'A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years.'"

Li Yao: "I am not a gentleman."

I am like a pigeon monk, I am strong, but my Mind's Eye is small!

Saying that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years is nonsense—that's something a bunch of poor, pretentious intellectuals do when they can't win a fight to the face, then they go home and grind their teeth in resentment, planning to launch a sneak attack! If you could beat them in a fight, then try it! If you have a grudge, you take revenge on the spot! If you can wait until the next day, you've already lost! Li Yao is different. He considers himself a man, and a man takes revenge from morning till night! Watch me torment you to death! Seeing Li Yao's murderous look, Madam Qian couldn't help but laugh and said, "But you're still young."

On one hand, it's said that you're young and impetuous, but on the other hand, it's also implying that you're too young and lack a solid foundation. Even if you want to retaliate, how can you do so? Both the American Faction and the Hydra are behemoths! Their tentacles extend to every corner of the world.

It is not something that can be accomplished overnight by taking measures to crack down on and overthrow such an organization.

Look,

That's the art of speaking.

Li Yao understood this, of course.

He thought for a moment and replied, "But I have money."

Madam Qian: "..."

This young man is quite interesting.

Old Man Lu was dumbfounded! I know exactly how much Laozi you have! Not to mention anything else, even a regional manager under Hydra has several times more operating funds than your assets! Your little bit of money is nothing!

Ignoring Old Man Lu's contorted expression, Li Yao said earnestly, "I have quite a few things, and the Wallfacers under your command also have very powerful ones. I hope to leverage your and your organization's reputation to issue bounties! I want to offer ' Superpowered Prosthetic Limbs ' and ' Superpowered Battle Pet ' as bounties, in exchange for the heads of people belonging to the Hydra faction!"

Li Yao's voice was firm and resonant, and the area in front of the fireplace fell into complete silence.

This news was a bit of a shock to them.

The advent of Superpowered Prosthetic Limbs was already a revolutionary, strategically significant technology! But now Li Yao actually intends to export it...

If Madam Qian hadn't intervened, Old Man Lu wouldn't have dared to make the decision on his own.

Old Man Lu is getting a little anxious! He thinks highly of Li Yao and wants to recruit Li Yao into the organization. The reason he's letting things go is because he thinks Li Yao is too impulsive and not suitable for an organization like the Wallfacers with its strict rules and regulations.

We were just waiting for Li Yao to mature and become more stable before bringing him into the organization and entrusting him with important responsibilities! Now everything's fine...

Damn it, this guy's incompetence was exposed in front of the highest leader of the Wallfacers!

What's going to happen next? Old Man Lu immediately stepped in and scolded, "Nonsense! Do you know what exporting our territory means?! Do you know our strategic deployment?! This is going to cause a huge disaster!"

Madam Qian remained silent, looking at Li Yao and waiting for his reply.

Li Yao paused for a moment and said, "I don't know what strategic plans you have, but in my opinion, this is just a trivial little technology. I have many more and better new technologies. You know I graduated from the Business School of Southeast University and like to look at problems from a business perspective. Because you don't understand me, you think this might be a big price to pay, but in my opinion, this is just a piece of cake."

and,

Even so, Li Yao did not believe that this one incident alone could eliminate the American Faction and Hydra.

Li Yao: "This only weakens their power; I will be the one to truly end them."

Madam Qian nodded. "It seems you've planned this out quite a bit, so I support your decision."

Old Man Lu became anxious. "Teacher!"

Madam Qian waved her hand to indicate that Old Man Lu didn't need to say anything more, and then looked at Li Yao and said, "Also, I heard from Tie Wa that you can revive the spirit of the army."

Li Yao: "?!"

Tie Wa?

He looked at Old Man Lu, Old Man Lu was also looking at his teacher with a shocked expression.

Madam Qian suddenly realized what she had said and clapped her hands, laughing, "Oh dear, I just blurted it out... My bad, hahaha, really, my bad, hahahaha..."

Lu Xingshen: "..."

This guy's face turned purple from holding it in!

Li Yao: "Um, I didn't hear that, pfft hahaha... I really didn't hear that, hahahahaha..."

Old Man Lu gripped the Dragon-Snake Staff tightly in his hand!

What are you laughing at?!

ah!?

Old Man Lu immediately stood up, glaring with dead fish eyes, and said stiffly, "You guys chat, I have something to do, I'm leaving first!"

This place is unbearable!

Watching Old Man Lu leave, Li Yao and Madam Qian both laughed until tears streamed down their faces. Only after confirming that Old Man Lu had returned to the Midnight Bar next door did Li Yao wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and say, "Please tell me what you need to say."

Madam Qian also stopped smiling, "I really didn't notice just now."

Although life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

But that wasn't the case just now.

There's no need to do that in front of your own children.

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah, I know, I just didn't expect that Old Lu would have such a nickname."

Madam Qian: "I don't have any other hobbies, but when I was a teacher, I liked giving children nicknames..."

For example, Tie Wa, Little Pineapple, and so on.

Li Yao: "..."

This hobby is rather unusual.

Madam Qian said, "I heard about the military spirit from Xiao Lu. You're confident about it, right?"

Li Yao nodded.

Madam Qian continued, "But you should know that Xiao Lu is protected by tens of thousands of military spirits. If so many military spirits are really resurrected, that would be a considerable force."

After saying that,

Madam Qian looked at Li Yao with clear eyes.

Li Yao immediately replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely leave everything to you!"

Madam Qian immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, we definitely won't let you suffer any losses. Just tell us what you need. We really owe you a huge favor this time."

Even with the aid from Sierra Leone, it's still not enough to pay off!

Li Yao rubbed his hands, still feeling rather embarrassed. "Well, then I'll tell you?"

Madam Qian smiled and said, "Speak!"

Li Yao: "Could you send me a subspace?"

Madam Qian: "..."
