Adventurer of the Elf World

At this moment, three short knocks on the door sounded, and the familiar voice of the housekeeper came from outside.

"Master."

But after years of getting along, the old man could still judge what happened from the voice.

Unlike the housekeeper's urgency, the old man didn't care too much. What hasn't he encountered at his age?

"Come in~"

A man in his fifties dressed in formal clothes walked in, walked quickly to him and whispered a few words.

The old man, who was originally very leisurely, had a slightly changed expression after hearing the news, but in the end he just closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.

"Master, don't be angry, things have happened, your health is important." The housekeeper hurriedly persuaded.

The old man sighed and asked lightly: "Have you dealt with the follow-up?"

"We have already contacted that woman. She took the money and signed the contract. She won't leak a penny. When this matter calms down, I will arrange someone to deal with her. There will be no trouble."

"That's it~" The old man closed his eyes again and waved his hand, and he didn't mean to continue talking.

"Master, take care of yourself." The housekeeper said and left the room.

It was only a moment later that the old man noticed something was wrong.

It was too quiet, how could there be no sound around?

But when he opened his eyes, someone was sitting on the sofa under the bookshelf.

A stranger!

The old man suddenly realized, how could an outsider bypass the security outside and come in? Unless...

"I don't know how you got in, but it's not too late to leave now."

Xiu knew what the old man was thinking from the look he saw, and smiled at him and said, "Haven't you been looking for me? Why do you have this reaction when I come here now~"

Xiu's words immediately made the old man change a little, but there was no more reaction except that the turbid eyes opened slightly.

If Xiu hadn't been observant enough, he really wouldn't have noticed it.

Although he had let go of the company and handed it over to his children, he had a lot of control over the company, so he naturally knew the company's recent actions.

But wasn't Joey behind that company?

No, this person was definitely not Joey's man, they wouldn't use such means!

Thinking of his son's death, the old man immediately realized something and said, "Tomorrow we will resume cooperation with your company and further deepen the cooperation."

"Isn't it a bit too late to talk about this now~" Xiu acted very leisurely, fiddling with his fingers, not caring at all.

But his appearance put more pressure on the old man, because this attitude clearly showed that he was not here to negotiate.

If the other party is not interested in the chips in his hand, then what he wants is...

"Xiao Cong has paid the price for our stupidity, and you don't need to do anything extreme. Only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation."

"Ha!" Xiu seemed to be amused, "You turn against each other when you have an advantage, and cooperate when you have a disadvantage. You are really interesting~"

The old man calmly narrated as if he didn't hear Xiu's ridicule: "There is only profit in business, and now we are willing to give up some of the profit to regain your trust."

"Forget it~ Your reputation is worthless, and this is just a way for you to delay time." Xiu waved his hand as if he was a little tired, "Also, don't press it, no one will come in even if you press it for a long time."

The old man didn't panic when he realized that his tricks were discovered, but just put down his hands normally.

Xiu didn't seem to care about his reaction, but smiled and asked: "I don't trust you, why don't we cooperate in another way."

"What way!" The old man's mood changed greatly for the first time. The other party proposed this, which means there is room for negotiation. After all, no one wants to die.

"I want to swallow up all of Okamoto."

"Your appetite is a bit too big~" The old man frowned.

Xiu grinned, and then ignored the man and talked to himself.

"Think about it, the son died suddenly, and the father who loved his son was heartbroken after hearing the news, and then he also fell ill and died, and then the remaining two people must have started fighting for the family property.

After you die, I think those who are loyal to you will turn to the eldest son, and the gap between the two sides will appear. At this time, your daughter has a certain chance to choose to give up, but..."

Xiu paused for a moment, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"I remember that your son has a gifted son, right? If your precious grandson died unexpectedly at this time, what will happen to the Okamoto family~"

The old man's face was gloomy when he heard this. He knew that this person was wrong. Even if he died, the faction loyal to him would not turn to the eldest son, but would be neutral.

This was originally his arrangement to select the next heir, which was to see the abilities of both sides.

Originally, this transition would be completed smoothly under my supervision, but if the situation described by this person really happened, both sides would think that the other side wanted to kill them, and the Okamoto family would fall into a ruthless internal struggle, which would only end when one family was completely dead.

"Of course~ I don't care who has the advantage at all. I will only intervene when one side is at an absolute disadvantage. If he (she) doesn't want to die, he (she) can only listen to me. At that time, all your decades of accumulation will be in my hands."

As he said this, the smile on Xiu's face became weird, revealing a bit of evil.

"I heard that your daughter is almost 40, but she is well maintained and still charming~

Your son also has a daughter who is young, beautiful and intelligent~"

Xiu stood up and walked towards him, "Guess what I should choose as their benefactor? Is it a daughter? Or a granddaughter?"

"You!" The old man raised his hand and pointed at him, his eyes that were originally slightly closed widened, and his turbid pupils were full of bloodshot.

"I am their enemy, but they want to treat me as a benefactor. I can't wait to see this scene, hahahaha~" Xiu laughed a series of laughter, like a villain who succeeded.

The old man was already over 70 years old, and no matter how well he was maintained, his body would inevitably decline. Being provoked by Xiu, he began to fall ill due to anger.

The whole person trembled as he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket. However, the medicine bottle that he could open easily on weekdays seemed to be stuck and could not be opened. His body became more and more difficult to control. Knowing that he could not escape death, the old man stared at Xiu and let go of his hand uncontrollably, letting the medicine bottle fall to the ground.

The medicine bottle that could not be opened was easily knocked open by the collision with the ground, and the pills inside were scattered all over the ground.
