Hearing this, Li Xuancheng was instantly dazed.
That’s right, now that this was over and even Li Haokong had lost, it would be too embarrassing for him to renege on his words. No matter what the case was, there were so many people looking now, being one of the Five Kings, he needed to uphold his identity.
“Ah, haha, haha.” Although he was bleeding inside, he still needed to express that his mood was very good. “Oh my, every generation will have its own geniuses. This Hong Dali is indeed very impressive! Yup, although I lost the gamble, I am very happy about it. At least, a formidable person has appeared in our Milky Way, hahaha!”
After he said this, his intestines went green from regret—the gamble he made was for the final victor to choose someone he wanted and bring him away. Now, he didn’t manage to bring Hong Dali away but instead lost someone from his own side. Without question, Hong Dali would definitely pick a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat, just that he wasn’t sure who.
“Since I lost, I naturally will admit it. I definitely won’t go back on my words!” Li Xuancheng laughed, but gritted his teeth and asked, “Hong Dali, who do you plan to choose?”
Hearing Li Xuancheng’s words, everyone looked towards Hong Dali, but this fellow was still sleeping…
“Let’s do it this way.” Jiang Qianxue thought for a while and then smiled sweetly towards Li Xuancheng. “Grandfather Li Xuancheng, Dali isn’t familiar with them, I reckon he won’t know who to pick even if you ask him. Coincidently, my relationship with him has always been quite good, why not let him continue to sleep and let me choose for him?” Her expression looked very innocent and insipid, but the meaning behind her words wasn’t.
Li Xuancheng instantly felt even more depressed—Hong Dali didn’t know any of them, but Jiang Qianxue knew…
“Oh? In this case…” Although he wasn’t willing, Li Xuancheng could only nod his head. After all, if they woke Hong Dali up know, heaven knows what he would do. This fellow was too scary. Although Li Xuancheng was the strongest of the Five Kings, the problem was that he couldn’t throw his temper at such an occasion.
After all, there were so many Honorary Aristocrats looking now, and beside him was the old fellow Jiang Dongliu…
Therefore, Li Xuancheng really felt like vomiting blood now. “Alright, Qianxue, you shall pick for him then. You have to choose properly.” He emphasized the word ‘properly’, it was obvious that his mood wasn’t very good now.
“Yup, don’t worry, Grandfather Li.” Jiang Qianxue smiled and then looked towards the Black-level Honorary Aristocrats from the Li Family. The direction she was looking at was the Warrior segment. “Harman, is Harman here?”
She’s picking now! Hearing Jiang Qianxue’s words, everyone looked over there too.
This Jiang Qianxue directly shouted for Harman, it looked like she had already thought over this long ago.
“I’m here, Miss Qianxue.” Pink-haired Harman stood up and bowed towards Jiang Qianxue.
“Yup, I shall choose you then. Are you willing to come to the Jiang Family and become an Honorary Aristocrat under the Jiang Family?” Previously during the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars, Jiang Qianxue had already said that she would think of a way to impart the Last Words by Tianji to Harman. Before this, she was still having a headache on how to ask for Harman from the Li Family, but she never thought that Li Xuancheng would actively send Harman to her doorstep. This was akin to someone giving her a pillow just when she wanted to take a nap…
Since Jiang Qianxue had already chosen, they had to accept no matter whether they were willing or not, wasn’t it?
“I am willing.” Harman sucked in a deep breath and said, “From today onwards, I shall be an Honorary Aristocrat under the Jiang Family.”
Therefore, this matter was settled.
Li Xuancheng hurriedly expressed his standpoint. “Yup, Harman, since Qianxue requested to choose you, after you go over to her side, you must serve her well and not disappoint her, got it?” Although his words were nice-sounding, he was at the same time shouting in his heart, “Qianxue! You directly chose the most talented person from my side, I will make you pay for this next time!”
Harman was definitely one of the most outstanding people in the Li Family. Now that she was taken away, even with Li Xuancheng’s wealth, he felt his heart pained too. He would definitely remember this!
“Hehe, Grandfather Li, thank you.” Jiang Qianxue laughed and said, “I will definitely take good care of Sister Harman.”
Hong Dali continued to sleep. “Hu… Hu…”
This superprodigal didn’t know that Jiang Qianxue had already chosen someone for him. If not, with his prodigal ways, he might… Well, although this fellow never slapped people on the face when he hit them, when he really slapped their face, he would take their life in doing so. Whatever the case, he wouldn’t let Li Xuancheng feel comfortable…
Now that it was over, what happened next were just some minor challenges.
With Hong Dali’s previous performance, no one was interested in the other challenges at all. Therefore, after all of the challenges from the Business side had ended, it was time for the highlight of the advancement assessment—the assessment for the Warrior side.
Before the assessment for the warrior side started, there was a break time of one hour.
“Ah, what a good nap!” Hong Dali finally woke up. He stretched his waist and, in a voice so loud that it was alarming, shouted, “Brouhahaha! I am finally invigorated! Lackeys, let’s go out and play!”
Everyone was astonished by hearing this! Was this fellow blurred from sleep? Why was he calling for his lackeys at this place!?
“This Hong Dali, is he really the Hong Dali who defeated all of us? This is obviously an amusing idiot, he’s even sleepwalking!”
“That’s right, no matter how I look at him, he doesn’t look like that awesome character who even dared to neglect the rules. Did he become blur from sleeping?”
“This little rascal.” Jiang Dongliu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “Isn’t he in the least concerned about the result of the competition just now? How big is his heart?”
Of course, although this was what he thought, he couldn’t say it out. Jiang Dongliu laughed and said, “Dali, you have won in all of your duels just now, aren’t you happy?” His attitude was very amiable, so amiable that to the others, he seemed a bit exaggerated. Even though Hong Dali was a super-genius, Jiang Dongliu was one of the Five Kings, after all.
However, Hong Dali was obviously more arrogant than they thought. He nonchalantly sniffled his nose, humphed, and said, “What is there to be happy about this small matter… Huh, why are all of you looking at me like this? Where are my lackeys?”
He defeated all of them! Was this a small matter too?
Everyone was completely stunned. There should be a limit to how carefree this Hong Dali was, right? His net profit ratio was more than 5000%, but this was his response!?
Of course, no one dared to say this out. The reason was very simple, the victor naturally had the right to behave however he wanted.
“Alright, alright.” Jiang Dongliu could only nod his head and said, “Your lackeys are outside. Yup, I still need to congratulate you now, you have a new lackey.” Jiang Dongliu’s mood was obviously quite good, he even laughed and took a look at Li Xuancheng, then said, “Harman, if you don’t have any missions for the time being, just follow Hong Dali first. I think that you may have some unexpected gains.”
Since his precious granddaughter directly picked Harman, there must definitely be a reason for it. Therefore, Jiang Dongliu directly placed her under Hong Dali’s charge. As for Harman’s level—yup, there’s no need to mind these details…
“Okay, my lord.” Harman instantly nodded.
Li Xuancheng was so angry that his beard almost lifted up—making his previous subordinate become a lackey for Hong Dali was plainly humiliating him!
“Alright.” Hong Dali wasn’t in the least concerned. With Acka in his arms, he asked, “Then what shall we do next?”
The next event was naturally the assessment for the warrior side. Li Xuancheng smiled sinisterly and said, “The next event is the competition for the warrior department. Dali, you challenged so many Double Honorary Aristocrats just now, you will need to challenge the warrior department too later. Only this way will we be able to decide on your level and to give you your reward.” He smiled very sinisterly. Obviously, no one could defeat Hong Dali in the business department now, so he could only depend on the warrior department. Being a Black and White-level Double Aristocrat, Li Haokong’s combat strength was even more powerful than his business strength!
After all, even Li Tianxing wasn’t a match for him!
Upon hearing Li Xuancheng asking Hong Dali to challenge all of the Double Aristocrats, everyone instantly fell silent.
He was totally trying to make a fool of Hong Dali! The competition for the warrior side was different from the business side, they would really need to go on stage and fight with each other physically!
“Old Li, don’t be too overboard!” Jiang Dongliu raged and said, “How can you say such a thing? It’s still fine to make him compete against everyone on the business side, but for the warrior side, even if he can fight, it’s not right to ask him to fight a bunch of them himself! How is he supposed to accept this?”
“This has always been the rule.” Li Xuancheng didn’t look at Jiang Dongliu but just stared at Hong Dali. “Dali, according to the rules, after the competition of the Double Aristocrats, next is the competition of the combat might. Since you defeated everyone on the business side, naturally, you can’t lose in the combat aspect, don’t you agree?”
Although he sounded very righteous, everyone knew that he was practically asking for the impossible.
After all, the higher the level of competition, the more exhausting it was. It might be still possible to ask him to fight five or six or them, but to fight all of them…
His request was very unreasonable, the rest all didn’t agree with him. But Li Xuancheng’s identity was too high. Therefore, they could only be angry but remain silent.
This was really a tragic scene.
It wasn’t easy for someone to be able to be despicable to such an extent.
Hearing Li Xuancheng’s words, Hong Dali only lifted his eyebrow.
This old fellow is giving me a difficult question again. Humph, since you want to play, I shall accompany you to the end!
“I’m a prodigal.” Hong Dali’s eyes looked extremely innocent. “Which prodigal will personally go and fight? No matter if it’s business or combat, the lackeys will settle it for me! My principle is that anything that can be solved by the lackeys, I won’t do it myself—therefore, can my lackeys fight for me? If they lose, then I will go and fight personally!”
