Chapter 396 Heart of Gem
Clear skies.
In the dark spire of the Parliament, on a suspended terrace.
Dozens of powerful professionals stood neatly.
——The rescue team has been assembled.
They were being inspected by the parliament, and then they were about to set off to rescue the Entropy family.
The big shots were sitting on a higher floor, holding carefully selected personnel lists in their hands. While comparing them, they looked towards the terrace, looking for the professionals who represented their families.
It's still early.
But the necessary rituals will also take a lot of time, so——
"Please speak to the Speaker."
"Well, okay, let me say a few words."
"Dear young alternative members——"
"Remember, you are the fresh blood of the Parliament, the pillars of your family, and the stars of tomorrow who have been carefully selected by the Parliament to stand here."
"This time, you will represent the Parliament and go to the world of the Entropic Mo family to rescue..."
The speaker kept talking.
On the terrace, the reserve members looked respectful and listened attentively.
However, they did not listen to the speaker's tirade.
Another old voice sounded in the ears of a reserve member:
"Remember, Xion has the forging method of figurines in his hands. Although he has reached an agreement with the parliament, the parliament was still preparing related trade treasures, so he did not hand over the forging method."
"Master, I remember, my mission is to find the forging method."
the reserve MP responded.
The old voice continued:
"Yes, that's it, but if you really can't find it, you have to do another thing——"
"Most of the treasures of the Entropy family are in the Parliament Bank, but some of them are in the collection showroom of their castle. Go grab them. The more you can grab, the better."
"Yes, Master!"
Almost every member of the rescue team was listening carefully to the instructions of the head of the family.
They had already made preparations and were eager to give it a try. When the time came, they would enter the territory of the Entropic Mo family and plunder them.
After today, the Entropy Mo family will cease to exist.
And because of their timely rescue, they will "rescue" a batch of precious treasures for the council and receive corresponding rewards from the council.
Everyone will step on the corpses of the Entropic family and welcome a more glorious and beautiful future.
Time passes slowly.
The speaker was still speaking high-sounding words from the high platform.
Everything is about to happen.
suddenly.
A man in black walked quickly onto the stage and said something in the speaker's ear.
The speaker's originally dim eyes suddenly shone with light.
at the same time.
The family heads seemed to have received some kind of message, and their faces looked like they were listening attentively.
Dead silence.
The reserve members below sensed something was wrong.
——Have things changed?
Just as they were thinking this, it happened.
at first.
A not-so-loud rumbling sound came from the edge of the Parliament City.
The high-level family heads continued to maintain a dead silence.
However, the meaning of this dead silence is completely different from before.
Their faces showed confusion, panic, fear, and even——
weak.
In the dead silence, time passed silently, but no one moved.
It's like they have no idea what to do.
One of the reserve members felt baffled and couldn't help but glance towards the edge of the city.
"That's where the Parliament Bank is..."
he said to himself.
In the silence, his voice suddenly sounded, causing everyone to turn their heads to look at him.
——All the big guys didn’t say anything. What did you say?
Realizing that he had made a mistake, the reserve member quickly lowered his head, and cold sweat broke out from his back.
Little did he know that his unintentional words woke everyone up.
The fear in everyone's hearts was defeated in an instant.
The Speaker roared:
"Bank! We must not lose the bank!"
"Everyone ready to fight!"
The big bosses made a splash and began to mobilize manpower.
The piercing sirens rose to the sky and echoed throughout the parliamentary city.
……
Parliamentary Bank.
A family treasure trove deep underground.
Wu Xiaode stepped on a piece of golden sand, put his hand on his forehead, and murmured with a headache:
"Is the Entropy family always so unscrupulous?"
The entire underground treasure house is like a huge palace main hall, and there are many stairs leading to various pavilions.
However, the ground was covered with golden sand, which was three to four meters deep, with various treasures staggered here and there.
- They don't look neat at all.
To put it bluntly, the treasures here are simply thrown away.
Is this how Elian's father gained Xion's admiration?
"Don't doubt it, this is actually the correct way to store it."
Joan's voice sounded.
The Book of the Dead was opened and suspended in front of Wu Xiaode, revealing the page of the Shadow Follower.
Joan was held by Odvia's side using the ghost world technique, and she was looking at the situation outside from the card.
Wu Xiaode suddenly remembered something and said: "Mother, you helped a lot in the battle. Let's share the wealth here equally."
There was silence.
"No, Elyan."
Joan said, suddenly falling down from the card and standing next to him.
"What do you mean?" Wu Xiaode asked.
Qiong took a gentle breath, and a pair of charming eyes fell on his face.
——We must catch Elyan with all our strength!
He possesses three kinds of power, and is surrounded by followers like ghosts and bone dragons, and he is out of a certain death situation.
Whether it was the previous battle or the decision made in the passage, it showed that he was no longer the Elyan of the past.
Treasure is dead and will be consumed.
Only by clinging to this man can you regain power and move towards a more glorious life!
At this moment, Joan directly made up her mind.
She gently took his hand and whispered in his ear:
"My family betrayed me - I can no longer return to the Hellfire family."
"And you are the last bloodline of the entire Entropy family."
"As the saying goes, it's hard to sing alone. If you are willing, let's fight side by side from now on."
After Wu Xiaode heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Thanks to the help of this mistress in the previous battle.
In the future, if I continue to stay in the parliament, I will really need such a helper.
After all, she knows everything about the Parliament and is familiar with things——
A woman who can become a mistress...
How could the means be any worse?
Just like she said.
It is too difficult for an Elian to revive his family.
She needs someone who originally belongs to the Parliament. She must know everything about the Parliament.
If there is one more powerful character like this to help deal with the problem, other families will be more wary.
When Wu Xiaode was lost in thought, Qiong thought he was hesitating.
"Of course."
She leaned on his shoulder, with some inexplicable emotions in her voice, "If you want it, I'm yours too."
Wu Xiaode frowned, lowered his head, and met her watery eyes.
This woman is good at using everything as a weapon to achieve her own goals.
She is already the mistress of the Entropy family——
As a result, she was still thinking about betraying Xion and wanted more.
——She is a person who is loyal to her own desires.
Now the situation is forcing her to say so, and she is willing to do so, but what if someone else offers a higher price after leaving here——
How will she choose?
So...
She needs a price to keep her from betraying the Entropy family for the time being.
He needs her full support until he is recognized by the parliament, has a place in the parliament again, and can know all the plans against the world of "Heaven, Earth and People"——
Until then, he could no longer ignore her and her desires.
Wu Xiaode suddenly raised his head and looked around.
"Joan," he said.
"What?" Joan became nervous.
——He is looking around, does he want to do something here?
Just listen to Wu Xiaode say:
"...Besides gold, what is in this treasure house?"
Qiong suddenly said: "Elyan, it's time to tell you about this. There are valuable things here, countless rare materials and treasures, as well as mining contracts in various worlds, land ownership documents, etc. All are the most valuable! ”
Wu Xiaode looked around and looked away.
An answer emerged in his mind.
"Qiong, do you have any larger storage space?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"They are all jewelry. There are not many suitable for you. Let me look for them..."
Qiong rummaged around and found a crystal clear gem.
This gem is actually very precious.
But at this moment, in order to tie Elian to him, he had no choice but to contribute.
"The super large storage space gem can store everything here - take it and use it, you need these treasures to revive the family."
After Qiong finished speaking, she handed the gem to Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode took the gem and put it into the void. He saw a skeletal dragon holding the gem in its mouth and swimming around the entire treasure room as fast as lightning.
All the treasures were taken away by it and fell in front of Wu Xiaode again, and he opened his mouth and spit out the gems.
Wu Xiaode took the space gem.
He handed the gem to Joan.
Qiong was stunned for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on her face:
"...Give it to me? This is all the wealth of the Entropy Mo family. Why give it to me?"
"You are the mistress of the family, and you will be in the future," Wu Xiaode said unhurriedly. "You are in charge of the family's wealth. From now on, you will decide all the affairs of the family. For really important matters, you and I will discuss and decide together. As for me——"
"I'm in charge of the fighting."
Qiong held the cold gem in her hand, looking a little stunned.
Back then, Xiang paid close attention to the items in the collection showroom. He would check all the items in the collection if he got close to them.
The family's wealth was also handed over to Elian's father to take care of, and he had no chance to interfere at all.
Whatever you want to do or buy, you often need to get money from your own coffers.
This mistress is really frustrated.
However——
Now Elian has all the wealth directly under his control!
Qiong thought about lightning in her heart, but a look of emotion appeared on her face. She shook her head and said: "It's too much. You should also take some money with you."
She handed the gem to Wu Xiaode again.
Wu Xiaode didn't answer and just said casually:
"I have a lot of money. You can keep it yourself. If you want to use it, you can spend it as you please. You don't need to tell me, unless it's related to the family."
Qiong looked at his indifferent expression, and her heart gradually settled down.
He said he had a lot of money.
But how can his wealth be compared with that of a family?
If it is false, it proves that he values himself.
If it is true, it once again proves his strength.
Qiong couldn't help but reached out and stroked her hair to cover up the thousands of thoughts in her heart:
"But... these are too messy and need to be sorted out. At least there is a list for easy use in the future."
At this time, there was a distant roar outside.
"Just sort it out here, I'll go out and take a look - I'll leave you a cloud of fog here to cover your body. I'll be back in a while."
After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he patted her shoulder, turned around and walked out of the treasure room.
Qiong was left alone in the treasure room of the Entropy family.
She was holding the space gem in her hand, with a dazed look on her face, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
There is chaos in Parliament now.
Elyan also left temporarily.
Should I take advantage of this moment to escape alone?
This wealth is enough to last for thousands of years.
Let's go.
Stay away from this place of right and wrong!
She clenched the gem in her hand and her breathing became rapid.
Sudden.
A gemstone ring on her finger lit up.
—Correspondence from the family.
Joan sneered and pressed on the gem.
"Joan, it's me."
A rich male voice sounded.
"Father, I heard it, why do you still have the nerve to find me?" Qiong said softly.
"Have you obtained the forging method for human figurines?" the male voice asked.
Qiong lowered her eyes and said, "I got it."
"Very good, come back to the family immediately. You are the biggest contributor this time!" said the male voice.
"Father... when the Entropy family was destroyed, I already asked the parliament for help, but no one from the parliament came." Qiong continued.
The male voice paused and sounded again:
"You may not know that the Parliament was originally planning to go to the rescue, but now the city of Parliament has also been attacked, so the people I sent failed to go. Fortunately, you survived! This is lucky!"
So fake.
It's so fake.
Qiong lowered his head and said nothing for a while.
——There is obviously no rescue, not even until the world is destroyed.
This period of time was so long that it was even enough for "Xion" to reach here through the hidden passage.
——Still no rescue.
However, the family's wealth was almost frozen.
So father, you have reached an agreement with other families to carve up the Entropy Mo family.
As a daughter, I have been tortured by Xion in the Entropy family for more than eight hundred years, and was betrayed by you at the last moment.
——Just to divide the wealth of the Entropic Mo family.
Qiong looked at the space gem in his hand.
Now.
He has the wealth of the entire Entropic Mo family and the forging method of human figurines.
Why go back?
Returning to someone who betrayed you?
"Come back, Joan."
As if aware of her emotional changes, the male voice became much gentler:
"As soon as you come back, I will let you take charge of part of the power in the family and specifically manage all the female relatives - you are my most proud daughter!"
Joan stood still.
Unknowingly, a tear fell on the gem.
Managing women...
Eight hundred years of suffering, in exchange for managing women for the family?
She unconsciously heard what Elian had just said again.
"You are the mistress of the family, and you will be in the future. You are in charge of the family's wealth. You will decide all the affairs of the family in the future. For really important matters, you and I will discuss and decide together."
that power.
wealth.
trust.
and——
future.
Yes, I thought wrong before.
If he escaped alone with such a huge wealth, other families would not let him go, let alone his own family.
No matter how big or infinite the worlds are, they will still find themselves.
They will swoop in like hyenas and eat everything they own.
There is really nothing more to say.
People can only live by fighting.
——There is never a moment to quit.
Qiong gently wiped the corners of her eyes, a lazy smile appeared on her face, and whispered:
"Father, you may not know one thing."
"What?"
"The Entropy Mo family is still there, and I am still its mistress, and..."
"Now I am in control." (End of Chapter)
