Chapter 162: The significance of joining Giant Company
In fact, Xia underestimated the significance of his joining Giant Company.
There was probably no one who knew better than these big shots of Tianshui City what Xia Ping"s joining the Giant Company represented. This meant that Xia Ping had already embarked on the path of a martial arts expert.
All the geniuses that were invited to join the Giant Company would definitely become King Realm experts, so long as they didn"t perish midway!
Once one became a King Realm expert, one would immediately be bestowed the t.i.tle of King and possess monstrous authority. With a single command, one would be able to make a myriad of people bow their heads. Even the authority and status of a general of the Federation were only so-so.
When a clan like theirs faced a King Realm expert, they could only grovel and flatter him. Because so long as the other party was displeased and spoke casually, then their clan would vanish on the second day and their entire clan would be annihilated.
It was obvious how terrifying King Realm experts were.
When facing such a monstrous genius with a bright future, when facing such a future King Realm expert, wouldn"t they seize the opportunity when Xia Ping was weak to come up and get to know him and curry favor with him? Could it be that they would wait for Xia Ping to grow into a King Realm expert before currying favor with him?
By then, they might not even be able to enter the door.
"So it"s Uncle Feng."
Although Xia Ping did not know why these people were so enthusiastic, he knew that there was no need for him to be afraid of them. It was enough as long as they were neither humble nor arrogant.
Hearing this, Feng Shan chuckled, seemingly very happy, and said, "Nephew Xia is too polite." You still don"t know the ident.i.ties of these people, right? "I"ll be bold enough to introduce them to you."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at a middle-aged man in a black suit in front of him. He had a square face and had the powerful and dignified aura of a superior, "This is our Tianshui City"s Mayor Qin Fei."
"h.e.l.lo, Mayor Qin."
Looking at Mayor Qin, Xia Ping nodded his head and greeted him. This was probably Qin Muyang"s father. As expected of the mayor, he was a sly old fox who had been in government for a long time.
Even after defeating Qin Muyang in the finals, the other party didn"t show any signs of displeasure.
"Nephew Xia is too polite." Congratulations on joining the Giant Company. "From now on, you will probably soar into the sky and will definitely be the pride of Tianshui City." Qin Fei smiled and was very amiable.
Following that, Feng Shan pointed to another middle-aged man who was very elegant and wore golden-framed gla.s.ses. He looked very refined. "This is Tianshui City"s Deputy Mayor, Liu Jianghe."
"h.e.l.lo, Mayor Liu."
Xia Ping also nodded slightly. This should be Liu Liang"s father. He could sense waves of cold aura coming from the other party"s body. He suspected that he was not as refined and gentle as he appeared.
If he was really vicious, he might be even scarier than his son, Liu Liang.
As for Liu Liang, compared to his father, Liu Jianghe, he was far inferior. Even his shrewdness alone was far inferior. Even a real dog that bit people wouldn"t bark.
Once he made a move, it would be a vicious move without leaving any leeway.
"Good day, Nephew Xia. Congratulations on becoming the champion of the martial arts compet.i.tion! "This is indeed well deserved." Liu Jianghe also smiled faintly, as if he didn"t have any displeasure at all. Even though his opponent had defeated his son and humiliated him in the ring, he didn"t seem to care at all. His att.i.tude was like a spring breeze.
Regarding this situation, Xia Ping could only sigh with emotion. These bureaucratic wily old foxes were not easy to deal with.Their endurance alone was beyond ordinary people"s comprehension.
Without decades of cultivation, one would not be able to reach this realm.
"By the way, this is Senator Huang; that"s Senator Li; and this is Senator Chen." Feng Shan introduced the following members one after another. They were all big shots in Tianshui City and in the upper echelons of the various large family clans.
When he was introduced to the last person, he paused for a moment and said, "Yes, this is Nangong Hai, the head of the Nangong family." He pointed to the last middle-aged man in a white suit. He was very handsome and had the appearance of a handsome uncle.
Hearing this, Xia Ping"s eyes lit up. He also said warmly, "Dad."
What?!
When Nangong Hai heard this, he almost jumped up in anger. Half of his face turned green. What was this brat called? Who was he calling Father? Did he even know how to speak?
The others also had strange expressions on their faces. Of course, they also knew about the relationship between this boy and Nangong Wu during the preliminaries. Could it be that these two people already had an affair and had even come to propose marriage?
Otherwise, why would he call him Dad?
"I am not your father." Nangong Hai"s face was extremely dark, and his att.i.tude was extremely rigid.
To be honest, he didn"t have a very good impression of this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Of course, this martial talent wasn"t fake. The problem was that this fellow was too wild and had many girlfriends.
If his daughter really followed this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who knew how much hardship she would suffer?
Even if he wanted to find the perfect son-in-law, he would never force his only precious daughter.
The other big shots were also secretly laughing. They had never seen the big shot of the business world, Nangong Hai, reveal such an expression.
"Oh, father-in-law." Xia Ping changed his words.
Nangong Hai"s face became even darker. "I"m not your father-in-law either." This b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s skin was too thick. Did he think that he wouldn"t be able to tell after being addressed? How could it be so easy to marry his precious daughter?
"It doesn"t matter; that is something that will happen sooner or later." Xia Ping spoke casually.
Sooner or later, my a.s.s!
Nangong Hai clenched his teeth and glared at Xia Ping.
He suddenly felt that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was too dangerous. If his daughter continued to interact with this guy, with his thick skin and pestering, he might be able to settle his daughter in two to three days.
When the time came, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d would bring Little Xia Ping to propose marriage. He would probably have to admit it even if he didn"t want to.
No, from tomorrow onwards, he must guard Xia Ping with all his might. If his daughter had any chance of getting close to this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he would immediately send someone to stop her.
Nangong Hai clenched his fists tightly, and he instantly took Xia Ping to be the most dangerous figure.
"Ahem."
Seeing Nangong Hai"s charcoal black face, Feng Shan couldn"t help but cough. He helped Nangong Hai out of his predicament and said, "Nephew Xia, we actually came here for a matter."
"Tomorrow night, we will hold a party at the Sky Water Hotel to welcome the top sixteen geniuses of the Combat Compet.i.tion. I hope that you will attend."
He revealed the purpose of these people"s coming here. They held this banquet in hopes that their descendants would interact more with this demon and build a good relationship with him.
After all, no matter how the elders tried to get closer to each other, they could not be as close as those of the same generation.
"Alright, I"ll definitely partic.i.p.ate when the time comes."
Xia Ping hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded. After all, he could not possibly reject the invitations from the big shots of Tianshui City.
No matter what, his parents, relatives, and friends all said that they lived in Tianshui City. Their basic necessities were all here, so there was no need to make enemies with these big shots.
"That"s great. This is an invitation. I hope that when the time comes, Nephew Xia will be able to grace us with his presence. With a smile, Feng Shan said
Xia Ping nodded, took the invitation, and left.
However, the moment he left this place, Xia Ping"s eyes flashed with a deep killing intent. He wasn"t going home this time, but instead went to kill someone.
