Chapter 146: It Wasn’t Me, He Killed Him

The yellow weasel stood on the table, ordering people around arrogantly, like a bratty child that had found support.

“Who the hell do you think you are talking to?” Li Xianyu slapped him and he fell over. He picked up the bottle and slammed the yellow weasel in the head.

“You still dare to hit me now? You are finished, I will let you not get out of the northeast. My ancestor loves me the most!” the yellow weasel screamed and threatened.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“I’m going to skin you and tear your tendons out.”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Big Brother, stop hitting me. We might meet again in the future, don’t cross the line.”

“Call me Master.”

“Master.” The yellow weasel unexpectedly had no backbone. After he got a beating, he immediately became obedient. He probably also knew that he met a hotblooded teenager. A smart weasel will concede defeat to avoid more losses.

“Kneel.”

“I’m a weasel, how am I going to kneel?”

“Then lie down.” Li Xianyu put the bottle down and shrugged at Minister Wu,.”This bratty child is not obedient, a beating would do.”

Wu Sanjin leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed. When he saw the two stop, he commented lazily, “Huang Xiaoming, according to the company’s data, you are a direct descendant of this generation of the Huang family master. You are three years old, and awakened your bloodline a year after birth. You are a rare genius of the Huang family.”

“Glad you know how powerful I am.” The yellow weasel stood up again, claws at his waist.

“Stay down.” Li Xianyu hit his head and said in surprise, “Awakened his bloodline a year after he was born? That powerful?”

Wu Sanjin waved his hand. “Animals and people cannot be compared. They reach sexual maturity in 8-10 months, and can give birth to cubs in spring next year. Can people can do it? Alright, you have already walloped him and vented you anger. Both of you should compromise and put an end to this. I have to meet the five immortals later. Your Demons Alliance can fight as much as you like, but you should not harm ordinary people . Can you also help to persuade the rest later, treat it that I owe you a favor.”

The yellow weasel said in disdain, “What is the use of your favor, everyone says you are a failed minister.”

Li Xianyu frowned. “Minister Wu…”

A branch head would not have said that. He sounded like an aggrieved wife, which was utterly different from Baoze’s style.

Wu Sanjin waved his hand again and set aside two glasses of wine. He poured it for Li Xianyu and himself, and drank happily. “Enjoy life while you still can, how brief life is!”

Li Xianyu was speechless.

The legend is true. Minister Wu was more useless than he thought.

“Li Xianyu, this is the Northeast, not Shanghai. You haven’t been in the company for a long time, and may not know much about the demon descendants community. Not every place is like Shanghai.” Wu Sanjin sighed. “The Wu family, which is one of the seven major surnames in the eastern three provinces. However, there is also the Demons Alliance which is headed by the Five Immortal Families. Among them, the Wu family has a long history, has a lot of power and properties, whether it is in the demon descendants community or the common society.”

“Although the Demons Alliance was established after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Five Immortal Families are also deeply rooted. Both of these forces are more powerful than our Fengtian Branch.”

“Have you heard of the triangle theorem?”

“A triangular relationship is the strongest?” Li Xianyu thought this theorem was accurate. In some places, triangular relationships were the easiest to overturn, such as relationships between men and women.

“We need the existence of the Demons Alliance, because they can help us manage and restrict the foreign species in the territory. Moreover, this foreign species organization can also limit the Wu family. The three forces restrict each other, forming a balance. Of course, with Baoze’s strength, if they really want to deal with a certain force, whether it is a human organization or a foreign species organization, they would be destroyed in the end. But where is the value in that?”

“That would only cause chaos in the demon descendants community of the three eastern provinces and affect the society of normal people. It would not be easy for Baoze to explain to the government, isn’t it?” Wu Sanjin shrugged. “This society can make sacrifices and crime can exist, but it must be stable. Only when the overall situation is stable, human civilization can always move forward. Be it the Demons Alliance or the Wu family, as long as they do not cross the bottom line, Baoze will not take care of it.”

“Is that a joke? So I have to turn a blind eye to them killing ordinary people?” Li Xianyu’s expression was dark. “All I know is that if demon descendants dare to hurt the lives of ordinary people and disturb public order, no matter who he is, no matter what reason he is, the law enforcement department has the responsibility and obligation to arrest and bring him to justice.”

“The overall stability of society is more important than the safety of individuals. This is true not only in the demon descendants community, but also in normal society. You don’t have to deny that.” Wu Sanjin remarked lazily, “The rules you are talking about apply only to certain cities, such as Shanghai, such as Beijing, such as some big economically prosperous cities. The three eastern provinces are not in this range. After all, there are only a few first-tier cities in the country.”

“Thus, regardless of whether the Buddhist Society or Baoze, the core purpose is to maintain stability. Moreover, demon descendants are a group of people who use violence to rebel against rules. You cannot put an end to all crimes. Even in a harmonious normal society, violent crimes occur from time to time.”

“But they did go too far recently. Thus, after lunch, I made an appointment with the masters of the Five Immortal Families. Xiaoming, I will take this time to return you back to your ancestor.” Wu Sanjin pondered for a moment. “Are you coming with me? Just in time to back me up.”

Li Xianyu was speechless. You are the person in charge of Fengtian Branch and in ancient times, you will be considered as a big general. It’s humiliating to say that.

…

After lunch, the meeting began.

In the most spacious and stylish conference room of the branch office, sat a demon descendant master of foreign species, led by five family masters. There were a total of 20 people present, including officials, as well as the descendants of the younger generation of the families.

“Brother Liu, there have been a lot of rising stars in your clan recently. It seems that out of all the descendants of the Five Great Immortal Families, your descendants are the most promising ones.”

“I’m too honored, Brother Hui. I’m going to have to say when it comes to the number of people, no one is better than your family.”

“The previous alliance leader was from the Hu family. According to tradition, the new leader should hail from my Huang family.”

“Brother Huang, I beg to differ. The strongest would assume the position of leader of the alliance.”

“Well, instead of arguing here, we should think about how to settle the murderous character.”

“Yes, what a headache. Why hasn’t that imbecile Wu arrived yet?”

The door of the conference room was pushed open, but it was not Minister Wu Sanjin who came in, but six white beauties in office lady suits who came in with champagne and wine glasses. They sashayed in, accentuating their waists and poured wine for the guests. Regardless of body shape or appearance, the beauties all had makeup on and had an elegant demeanor.

Several members of the Hui family’s eyes lit up. Their paws pinched the ladies’ buttocks while the beauties in white-collared blouses poured wine.

The beauty exclaimed in shock and fury but did not dare to speak.

The Hui family burst into laughter.

There was laughter from several big families, such as the Hu family, who were playboys and those with disdainful expressions, such as the Huang family, who deemed themselves as casual immortals. There were also gloomy and silent faces, such as the Liu family.

“I’m sorry I’m late.” Wu Sanjin, carrying a bottle of Maotai liquor, came in leisurely and waved at the embarrassed and angry female employee. “Y’all may leave.”

Everyone noticed that he was followed by a handsome young man. When they saw his face, more than half of the demons’ faces changed slightly. As the descendant of the Li family, even if they had never seen him, Li Xianyu’s face was familiar to the top echelons of various forces.

Why is this guy here in the northeast? Where’s the Unparalleled Soul of War?

Fortunately, Unparalleled Soul of War did not appear at the door, but there was a chance she probably didn’t come in.

It was the alternation of the new and the old Demons Alliance leader. Why did the Li family descendant come to Northeast China?

“Xiaoming, why are you here?!” the white-haired Huang family master exclaimed in surprise and interrupted the reverie of the crowd. It was only then that he noticed that the Li family descendant was carrying a struggling yellow weasel in his hand.

Huang Xiaoming… Oh, that talented young descendant of the Huang family.

Had it not been for the old Huang family master calling his name out, no one at the scene would have recognized the yellow weasel except the Huang family.

Face blindness was the same amongst the foreign species. Yellow weasels all looked the same, and extrapolating from this, foxes, hedgehogs, and mice all looked the same. It was the easiest to identify snakes, which can be judged by the color of their scales.

So when members of various foreign species families wanted to fight, they followed the example of human beings and gave their names first. Otherwise, one would be bullied by others and one would not even be able to lodge a complaint when one went home.

“Ancestor, save me. He wants to kill me.” Sensing the loosening grip pinching the flesh of his neck, the yellow weasel quickly escaped from the hotblooded teenager and crawled through the bottom of the table. His two paws clawed at his ancestor’s trousers, as tears welled up. “That human brat tried to kill me.”

The old Huang family owner picked up his grandchild of an unknown generation and placed him on the table. He gently touched his head and asked in concern, “What’s the matter?”

The protectiveness towards the young in animals were no less than humans, and these foreign species who developed intelligence were not much different from humans in nature.

Huang Xiaoming blabbered on and exaggerated the happenings to his ancestor. In his statement, he was an innocent yellow weasel who was just on a hunt. The young man not only stopped him from it, but also hurt him. And that prey who first provoked him deserved to die.

After hearing this, the old Huang family master immediately smiled at Li Xianyu and said, “I’m sorry, this little guy is immature.”

Huang Xiaoming was stunned when he heard it, which was not quite the same as what he thought. Even if the other party was Baoze and his ancestor could not strike, at least he should reprimand him. Why was he apologizing to him in turn?

Huang Xiaoming was dissatisfied and wanted to pipe up. Suddenly, the Liu family master remarked, “You are Huang Xiaoming, right? I smell Liu Kun’s scent on you. You have to give me an explanation.”

From the appearance alone, the Liu family master looked younger than the old Huang family master. He was a gray-haired old man. Even if he had transformed into a human. his cold pupils remained unchanged. When he looked at people, his chilling stare made chills run down people’s spine.

Huang Xiaoming squeaked and cowered into the arms of his ancestor, his fur standing up.

The old Huang family master chuckled and said, “Liu Kun?” Oh, the talented descendant of the Liu family?”

The old man laughed and looked at ease. “I always said you are good indeed, no one in your generation can beat you, and members of the other family couldn’t either. Brother Liu, your descendant was not powerful enough. You can’t blame others if he died.”

The Liu family master snorted coldly.

Li Xianyu thought, they were more straightforward than human beings in this aspect. It seemed that even though this group of animals had transformed into human beings, they still believed in the law of the jungle.

The yellow weasel panicked when he was pinned by the Liu family owner’s chilling stare. He trembled as he pinned the blame on Li Xianyu. “It’s not me, he did it. I just ate the meat. I didn’t kill him. Don’t frame me. I’m a good yellow weasel.

It wasn’t considered as shirking the blame, he did not kill Liu Kun.

The crowd immediately turned their heads and looked at Li Xianyu.
