Su Xi pushed the door open and walked in, completely ignoring the gazes of those around her.
As these people watched Su Xi enter, their faces were filled with anger, but not a single person spoke.
For them now, although Su Xi was annoying, she was still capable. If they were to make a rash move now, it would undoubtedly backfire on them.
For the sake of such a reckless youngster, she was not within their scope of consideration.
Su Xi sat down on a stool generously, looked at the old man in front of her, and asked, "Are you the one in charge here?"
Her time was precious now, and she had no time to waste. Therefore, the most important thing was to resolve the most crucial issue first.
Once the real boss was dealt with, the remaining subordinates would be easy to handle.
The old man nodded at Su Xi's question, "You are right, but I want to see who you are more."
He didn't understand Su Xi's background at all, so he didn't know how to handle the situation.
If they accidentally offended a big shot, it would be a huge problem for them. Therefore, if they wanted to make a move, they had to understand Su Xi's background clearly.
After all, to possess so much gold and such great energy, she couldn't possibly be an ordinary person.
For his own safety, he knew he couldn't act rashly.
Su Xi shook her head upon hearing the old man's words, "Shouldn't you state the problem first, instead of asking me what happened?"
The old man, facing Su Xi's provocation, did not get angry and began to speak, "This is indeed my fault. I am Old Master Ming of Rongcheng."
When the others heard Old Master Ming reveal his identity, their faces showed surprise.
Rongcheng was also called Mingcheng, which indicated that Old Master Ming's status in this place was extraordinary.
Now that he had revealed his identity to Su Xi, Su Xi's identity must also be extraordinary.
After revealing his identity, Old Master Ming looked at Su Xi, constantly observing her reaction.
He knew his identity, and others would surely react upon hearing it. However, he saw no surprise on Su Xi's face, but rather bewilderment.
It was as if what Old Master Ming had said was not a big deal at all, but rather insignificant words.
Old Master Ming trusted his own eyes; he would not misjudge.
Over the years, he had never failed to tell whether a person was pretending or truly indifferent.
Su Xi's face showed no pretense now, and not the slightest surprise.
The only explanation was that Su Xi did not care about his identity at all. Only by truly not caring could she exhibit such an expression.
Therefore, in other words, Su Xi's background was even more remarkable than his.
"Miss, I have stated my identity. Will you also tell us yours?"
For them now, the most important thing was to clarify Su Xi's identity first.
Su Xi smiled upon hearing Old Master Ming's words, "I am just an unknown nobody, completely unworthy of your concern."
"My purpose for coming here today is to know if you are willing to agree to our sale of gold."
"Hahaha."
Su Xi's words instantly drew laughter from the surrounding crowd.
At this moment, for Su Xi to offer nothing and expect them to abandon their current benefits, wasn't that too ridiculous?
Su Xi's face showed an indescribable seriousness upon hearing their words.
She hadn't come here today to engage in idle chatter or wordplay with these people, but to achieve her goal.
Since these people were unwilling to talk to her properly, she couldn't be blamed.
"I know you are unwilling to agree. I will show you something now." As Su Xi finished speaking, Li Ping next to her took out a large cloth bundle.
???
The surrounding people looked at the cloth bundle Su Xi took out with a hint of confusion.
It was the 28th century, and people were still using such ancient methods.
Were these people truly alright?
Su Xi paid no attention to the gazes of the people around her. She opened the cloth bundle in front of her, revealing a golden scene within.
The gleam of gold instantly brought surprise to the faces of the surrounding crowd, who then looked at Su Xi curiously.
They couldn't figure out what she meant.
Was she here to show off her wealth?
Su Xi pointed at the gold in front of her and said, "Do you know how this gold was refined?"
The crowd shook their heads subconsciously upon hearing Su Xi's question.
They were only responsible for selling gold; they truly didn't know how it was refined.
Su Xi smiled and said, "I can conjure these things at will, and I have a lot more."
Su Xi didn't play coy and continued, "What do you have to play with me?"
One of the people among them heard Su Xi's words and immediately slammed the table and stood up, "You think this is enough to settle it?"
Er Gou was her man, and now Su Xi had turned him into a vegetative state. Moreover, if Su Xi were to really sell gold now, it would be on their territory.
If this territory were snatched away by Su Xi, he would lose a lot.
Therefore, unless Su Xi killed him today, he would absolutely not agree.
Su Xi looked at the bald man in front of her and shook her head, "Is it you who disagrees?"
As Su Xi finished speaking, Gui Lao immediately stepped forward.
"Bang?"
Gui Lao threw a punch, and the bald man, in pain, curled up on the ground, resembling a ripe crayfish.
The bald man looked at Gui Lao in disbelief, his entire face trembling.
Was this real?
In front of so many people, this person still dared to act, and so brazenly.
"I'll kill you." The bald man shouted, then pulled out a pistol from his body and fired at Gui Lao.
He had brought a pistol today just in case, but now it was perfect for use.
As he pulled the trigger, a series of bullets shot towards Gui Lao.
Old Master Ming's face changed upon hearing the gunshot.
He knew in his heart that the situation was irreversible. The only way now was to not let Su Xi live. Only by eradicating the root could they ensure no future trouble.
Otherwise, if Su Xi's backers found out, they would be in a lot of trouble.
However, to everyone's surprise, Gui Lao was not only unharmed but had actually caught the bullets.
???
This bizarre situation stunned everyone.
Catching bullets with bare hands, did he think he was the 'Fiery Cloud Evil God'?
Gui Lao looked at the bald man in front of him with a dangerous smile.
Before leaving, Su Xi had explicitly told him not to kill easily. But since this person had already made a move, he wouldn't hold back anymore.
After all, these people were the main issue.
Seeing all this, Gui Lao suddenly acted and landed a punch directly on the bald man's head.
*Crack!*
Accompanied by the sound of bone breaking, the bald man's head rolled to the ground, tumbling several times.
Because Gui Lao's speed was too fast, the bald man's body had not yet reacted. After a moment, he finally fell to the ground stiffly.
How could this be!
Su Xi had actually killed someone!
Although the powerful figures in the private room now had blood on their hands to varying degrees, they had never personally acted, nor had they experienced a murder scene so directly.
They were now shocked by Gui Lao's actions.
What a waste.
Gui Lao couldn't help but grumble upon seeing the shocked expressions on their faces.
This was when he had no magic power. If he still had it, all these people would have ended up in his belly.
Su Xi was very satisfied with their current expressions. She sat on the stool and asked, "Are you willing to talk to me properly now?"
She felt that these people were simply masochistic. They wouldn't listen when spoken to properly.
Only when she acted would they talk to her.
"What do you want to say?" Old Master Ming looked at Su Xi, awaiting her next words.
Someone who could act so ruthlessly must have extraordinary strength. Therefore, it was necessary for him to listen to Su Xi's demands and then see what she wanted to do.
Su Xi looked at Old Master Ming with a smile, "I've already said it very clearly. I want you to give me a market."
Looking at Su Xi, Old Master Ming pondered for a moment and said, "How much do you want? What share?"
The entire Rongcheng market was only so large. Besides official channels, the remaining market was not that big.
Now that these people wanted a piece of the pie, he had to carefully consider it.
If Su Xi's demands were not excessive and a powerful individual like her participated, it wouldn't be a loss.
Su Xi was very satisfied with Old Master Ming's astuteness and held up a finger.
Seeing Su Xi's action, Old Master Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Asking for only ten percent, wasn't that too much?
"The people of my Rongcheng love to make friends. Since you want a ten percent share, I will agree."
Su Xi looked at Old Master Ming and smiled, "You've misunderstood. I don't want a ten percent share, I want it all."
Old Master Ming's eyes widened as he looked at Su Xi, disbelievingly asking, "What are you talking about?"
He suspected he was too old and hallucinating.
Someone who had nothing was making such arrogant demands, did she think he was easily bullied?
He had made concessions not out of fear of Su Xi, but simply to avoid trouble. At the same time, he wanted to use Su Xi's hand to resolve the current situation in Rongcheng.
After all, the arrangements made over so many years should indeed be changed.
But since Su Xi, this tool, didn't know when to stop, he couldn't be blamed.
After all, a disobedient person was a liability, harming both oneself and others. It would be more convenient to simply eliminate her.
Su Xi looked at Old Master Ming's expression and smiled gently, "Aren't you going to agree to my request now?"
