The Magus Era

Chapter 751: Acting patriarch

Views:

Di Laurent's cell was too small to discuss business matters, so Ji Hao occupied Chi Zhan's office.

Special pipes brought hot water from the kitchen. The water vapor rose in the two bathrooms in Chi Zhan's office building, and a strange floral fragrance overflowed. This is the unique smell of high-quality bath balm.

Several beautiful Dark Tribe girls entered the bathroom with scrapers, scissors and other tools, and soon there was a slight sound of hair cutting inside.

The chubby Hamend personally went to Liangzhu and spent a lot of money to buy hundreds of sets of luxurious clothes from a surviving manor outside the city. The same beautiful dark tribe maid sent these clothes to the bathroom. inside.

After being busy for half an hour, Ji Hao, who was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window of Chi Zhan's office and had already drank three pots of tea, finally met Di Yantuo, Di Luolang and other powerful elders of the Di family.

After leaving the small cell, I took my first shower in months, cleaned up my messy hair and beard, and put on the luxurious clothes unique to the Yu clan nobles. I was originally tired, haggard, and dirty. Di Laurent and others, who were like refugees, suddenly became extremely noble.

A group of felons, a group of death row inmates who will be executed in a while, actually took a comfortable bath in the office of the prison commander. They were neatly groomed, and they were still able to stay in the prison. A serious negotiation meeting was held in the commander's office with the people who came to visit!

Such magical things can only happen here in the Yu clan. In order to borrow Chi Zhan's office, Ji Hao only paid two more copper ingots from Shouyang Mountain.

Di Laurent and other powerful elders stood in a neat row in the room according to their status and actual power.

Di Yantuo, the acting patriarch of the Di clan, looked at Ji Hao carefully for a while, then sat down opposite him gracefully, naturally picked up the teacup, poured himself a cup of fragrant sugar tea, and sipped it gently. He took a sip and let out a comfortable breath: "Good tea. I never expected that I could drink the top-notch Black Mountain Yunwu Red in Black Shark Castle Prison."

Ji Hao put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "If you are greedy and bend the law, you can always get good things that others can't get."

While Di Yantuo looked at Ji Hao, Ji Hao was also looking at him carefully.

This is a typical Yu clan aristocrat, with a tall figure and a slender waist, but his shoulders are very broad, about half wider than ordinary Yu clan people, which naturally gives him an invisible majesty that others do not have.

He has long gray hair that is meticulously groomed, and has a three-inch short beard on his lower chin. The gray-white beard is as hard as steel needles, exuding a sense of hardness, perseverance, and unyielding.

A standard handsome and flawless face of a Yu clan aristocrat. What caught Ji Hao's attention was the two cold, hard eyes like granite in Di Yantuo's deep-set eye sockets. This meant that his heart was very tough, not a Easy to deal with.

But his scarlet pupils were like two points of molten magma, filled with almost crazy flames. Just by looking at him, Ji Hao knew that his heart was full of resentment towards certain people and things.

A powerful person who is both calm and crazy.

When the original patriarch of the Di clan died unexpectedly in Liangzhu City, he was ordered to do so in danger and was promoted to the throne of acting clan leader by many family elders. Even though Di Yantuo could not save the Di clan from being thrown into the Black Shark Fort Prison, This still proves Diyantuo's influence within the family.

This is not an easy person to deal with, but Ji Hao is not afraid that he will not give in due to external conditions.

Squinting his eyes, Ji Hao looked at Di Yantuo quietly without saying a word.

On the wall, the long needle on the precise timing tool made by the master craftsman of the Xiu tribe beats one by one. As the long needle beats, the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window seems to jump in and out.

Outside the small building, nearly a thousand fully armed Jia warriors were walking around, and the number of guards on the prison wall was ten times more than usual. There were faint sounds of heavy footsteps coming from outside the wall. This was the soldiers in the military camps in the four directions of the prison who had also mobilized, lest Di Yantuo and Di Laurent escape.

Waves of ripples visible to the naked eye rolled in the air, and occasionally fine electric sparks burst out in the air.

This is when all the defense towers of Black Shark Castle Prison are fully activated. If Diyantuo and Di Laurent dare to escape from prison, the most likely outcome will be to be electrocuted into coke or chopped into meat paste.

Ji Hao didn't say anything, and Di Yantuo didn't speak either. The two of them drank the fragrant but cloyingly sweet sugar tea cup by cup.

The Yu people like to eat sweets, and they are almost crazy.

The sweet sugar tea and the snacks on the table were both bitterly sweet. Ji Hao didn't like sweets, but in order to keep the pressure on Diyantuo, he could only stay calm and pour the terrible sugar tea into his stomach cup after cup.

Chi Zhan was not present, but every quarter of an hour, a dark girl would bring in a large pot of boiling sugar tea.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour... one hour, two hours, three hours...

Ji Hao didn't say anything, Di Yantuo didn't speak either, Di Luolang and other family elders also squinted their eyes, lowered their heads slightly, and looked at their toes quietly.

Every sentence and every word spoken here is related to the life and death of the nearly 100,000 direct descendants of the Di clan and their future destiny. It is impossible for Di Yantuo and others to be careless.

On the prison wall, Chi Zhan sat in the lookout post at the highest point of the watchtower, squinting at the small building that originally belonged to him.

The sky was filled with twinkling stars and the night enveloped the earth. Chi Zhan couldn't help but mutter: "It's so mysterious... With the knife on the neck, does the Di clan still have a choice?"

Hamend stood behind Chi Zhan and sighed in a low voice: "Why are you one of the top three wealthy families in the Blood Moon lineage? Even if you have to sell your body, you have to sell it for a good price!"

Chi Zhan touched his chin and muttered vaguely: "Well, I'm afraid there are other stories here. This unknown master of the Yuanyue lineage... Tsk, which family of the Yuanyue lineage has such a big family? How dare you protect the current Di Clan? Even if the Di Clan is a big fat guy, aren't they afraid of choking to death?"

Hamend played with a piece of Shouyang Mountain copper ingot and chuckled: "Why do you care so much? Sir, as long as we have some benefits, that's all."

Chi Zhan laughed "hehe" and proudly stroked the heavy copper ingot in his arms.

In the small building, Di Yantuo finally spoke. A layer of blood-colored halo emitted from his eyebrows, covering the entire small building to guard against possible eavesdroppers. He looked at Ji Hao and asked in a rigid tone without any change: "What promise can you give us?"

Ji Hao looked at Di Yantuo and smiled softly: "Now that the matter is over, the only promise I can make is that you can live!"
