750 Extremely daring (1/2)
”Dad!” Xiao Die looked panicked.
Everyone's face also turned ugly.
A hostage!
Who would have thought the manager of the Tian family, a dignified first generation esper, would be so shameless! This doesn't look like the style of a respected senior at all!
”We shouldn't involve our relatives in this. You're acting way over the line!” Li Tiantian's eyes were full of murderous intent.
”Old man, you don't even care about preserving your face?” Li Xin cursed angrily.
”Face? Can that feed me?” The manager calmly finished his sentence as if cherishing fame is only done by ordinary espers. Looking at Li Xin and the others who were revealing an expression of disbelief, he just coldly smirked, ”From the first day I become the manager of the Tian family, I have never allowed an accident to occur at any cost!”
”You!” Li Tiantian raged.
The surrounding crowd was stupefied.
No one expected the situation to escalate like this! After lots of twists and turns, for Su Hao and the others to bring Xiao Die away, this task seemed as difficult as ascending the sky!
”As long as Xiao Die stays here, I can let the others leave.” The manager coldly smiled. He was trying to sow dissension. Even though it was ineffective against Su Hao and the others, he could still plant a seed within their heart. After living for decades, this old man had quite a profound understanding of emotions.
”We will never do so!” Li Tiantian answered without even the slightest bit of hesitation.
”I...” Xiao Die took a deep breath and then looked at Tian Zi who was still dressed as a groom, ”You also have the same thought? Using such an underhand method to force me to marry you?”
Tian Zi smiled bitterly.
For things to have progressed to this point, this was beyond his expectation. From the initial anger to numbness, he could only bitterly smile as he didn't know what to say anymore. However, he could also see that if he is to stop Xiao Die from leaving, that would only increase her hatred towards him.
”Forget about it.” Tian Zi looked at the manager and was about to say something. However, the manager instantly interrupted him, ”Young master, do pay more attention. You're now representing the Tian family!”
Boom!
Tian Zi trembled all over his body.
Tian family!
Looking around at the messy wedding scene, watching the manager who was willing to sacrifice his face for the Tian family, Tian Zi suddenly realized. No matter what his heart thought, it no longer matters now. The most important thing is that what would other people think? If he's to let Xiao Die, Su Hao, and the others leave...
The Tian family's reputation would hit rock bottom!
Tian Zi raised his head.
Sure enough, looking at those who participated in the wedding, they were waiting for the conclusion.
”Xiao Die, just stay.” Tian Zi closed his eyes, ”You can't go.”
”F*ck!” Zheng Tai charged toward Tian Zi in anger and started clashing with him again.
As for Xiao Die who obtained the answer, her body softened as she knelt on the ground. Their strength is very strong. One could even call them perverted. However, in front of the manager, everything is useless! Even if all six of them are together, they could only suppress the manager, let alone now with a hostage in his hands.
”Xiao Die, come here.” The manager coldly smirked.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Li Tiantian tried to use his time ability talent, but the manager created a line of blood on Lan Tingxu's neck without any hesitation.
”Stop!” Xiao Die screamed.
”Time control?” The manager smiled indifferently, ”This talent is indeed terrifying, but too bad your strength is too weak. Just a mere peak professional esper... you still can't stand against me.”
Yes, he couldn't stand against the manager.
Li Tiantian could only slow down time. No matter how many times he tried to slow it down, the manager would be able to feel the energy fluctuation and react instantly.
Li Tiantian couldn't do anything!
”Damn it!” Li Tiantian was sullen, while the others went silent.
”I will go.” Xiao Die took a deep breath and gritted her teeth as she said so. Then, she walked forward unwillingly. At this moment, a person blocked her.
*****
Somewhere in the Federation.
”Master, Su Hao and his friends are in trouble.”
A disciple pointed out in a serious tone. On the virtual screen, the figures of Su Hao and his friends could be seen.
”Hmm...” An old man was swaying on his rocking chair with both eyes closed; one couldn't guess whether he saw the situation on the screen, ”Not bad. To be able to repel a peak domain esper. However, that still doesn't live up to my expectation. But this manager of the Tian family is so shameless that he actually hid his ability so deeply.”
”This daddy had met the clan head of the Tian family a few times and didn't even realize this cunning man is a first generation esper. Tsk, tsk... people nowadays... where is the so-called trust among people?”
That old man continued in a regretful tone, ”However, as one ages, one will cherish fame more. But this old bastard's face got thicker instead. He could compete with that head clan of the Tian family. Sure enough, when talking about the thickness of one's face, the Tian family is without a doubt the number one in the Federation.”
The old man continued to mutter.
His disciple wiped off his beads of sweat and didn't dare to meet his curses.
”But...” That old man closed his eyes for a second, ”Su Hao's test is considered done then. Although there are many places which are not considered thoughtfully, in general, we can consider it as he cleared the stage...”
”Time to take action then.”
”Understood.” That old man got up and was about to leave when his eyes suddenly lit up.
”Huh?”
This cry made the others in the room pay attention to the screen again. When they saw the situation on the screen, they froze.

”Huh?” Xiao Die looked at the person in front of her.
