Chapter 171 A Business

"Then these three." Sillian exchanged the menu. Mal took it from the side, and someone followed to take over the entire production process.

"Is this how you usually live?" Li Hao pointed to the people outside. Having a group of people following him all day long couldn't be comfortable. People are also divided into different classes.

"It's okay on the moon, but I came out, and it's to find you." Sillian said nonchalantly.

"Find me for what? It doesn't seem like we have anything to talk about." Li Hao smiled, sizing up Sillian. "You've recovered well."

"You've changed a lot. You didn't used to talk so much." Sillian was also intrigued, looking at him without the slightest hint of resentment.

"Likewise." Li Hao said.

"Do you know, when a person's greatest desire is to die, when even moving is a luxury, when the soul is squeezed into a shell, he is willing to pay anything just to end the endless darkness and pain." As he said this, Sillian smiled, as if he were talking about someone else's affairs.

"After a long time, day after day of torment, he began to feel anger and resentment, enough to burn the world. Then, after another period of time, he gradually calmed down and began to reflect. Thinking is a very interesting thing. For example, what is the meaning of existence?"

"Oh, so what did you figure out?" Li Hao was very patient, after all, the guy flew here just to talk.

Although the girls wanted to get closer, they were no longer needed. Mal poured tea for the two of them, very professionally.

"Try it. The tea is average, but Mal's craftsmanship is top-notch."

"The level of artificial humans is certainly not bad." Li Hao smiled, picked up a cup, and drank it all in one gulp. From beginning to end, Mal's expression did not change. Artificial humans were something that the Alliance had long banned. The technology for these things was already perfect, but they had no soul and were extremely dangerous.

Sillian smiled slightly. The tea was hard to drink, but the person was very different.

"Some time ago, I did something to create trouble for your other identity," Sillian said, "but these actions didn't bring me the expected happiness. Do you know why?"

Li Hao didn't speak, just looked at Sillian.

Sillian didn't wait for Li Hao's answer, skipping the topic directly. "Back then, Nan Gongyuhang was hiding it from Zhao Qinglong. I was the one who informed Zhao Qinglong. My plan was unsolvable. Whether Zhao Qinglong acted or not, whatever choice he made, the seeds of suspicion had already been planted. Your outcome was bound to be disintegration."

All along, no one knew how Zhao Qinglong knew the timing of Sillian's attack, allowing Li Hao to leave with precision. This was also an important factor in the misunderstanding of Zhao Qinglong by Offa and the others.

At the time, Zhao Qinglong had no idea that Nan Gongyuhang's real purpose was to eliminate Li Hao as well. But when Sillian explained his plan and analyzed Nan Gongyuhang's position, Zhao Qinglong had no choice but to believe it. Because regardless of whether Nan Gongyuhang really thought that way, if it happened, the result would definitely be Li Hao's demise.

The cruelest part of Sillian's plan was telling him the time of the attack without any reservations. This was an open conspiracy. And given the atmosphere at Apocalypse at the time, this battle was unavoidable.

From Zhao Qinglong's position, he either betrayed Nan Gongyuhang, or watched Li Hao die or be imprisoned. No matter what he chose, the USE would be torn apart internally, and it would also lead to the division within the Hunters.

Zhao Qinglong chose to let Li Hao avoid it, and face the final battle with Nan Gongyuhang himself. This result was also acceptable to Sillian, because with Nan Gongyuhang eliminated, the matter was already a foregone conclusion, and the remaining people were not to be feared. Only Nan Gongyuhang had the strength, status, and resources to rival him.

Of course, if Zhao Qinglong didn't believe him, and Li Hao was still present, Sillian also had a Plan B. The decisive battle would not happen. The initiative was entirely in his hands. He could even bury the seeds of suspicion deeper, telling Li Hao or Nan Gongyuhang that Zhao Qinglong had betrayed them.

Humans, as long as suspicion arises, the outcome is already determined.

What a perfect plan, but in the end, it was the most unpredictable, the worst.

Because Li Hao wasn't there, he launched the attack without any regard, betting everything on one throw, but he didn't expect Li Hao to return so quickly and strike so ruthlessly.

"Too much scheming destroys the overall situation and luck. Petty tricks can't stand on their own." Sillian laughed. "But people always forget the pain once the scars heal. Seeing you make a comeback using puppets, I couldn't help but repeat my mistakes. This cup is for self-reflection."

This was also why the Fire Man had no follow-up and ended inconclusively.

"You came all the way here, just to reminisce with me?" Li Hao asked. "Although it sounds nice and you look good, you're not a beauty, so I'm not interested."

"You're still too wary. In fact, you have many weaknesses, such as the welfare home, such as that Zuo Xiaotang. To help him grow, you even went to the trouble of creating a mental seal for him. Very thoughtful." Sillian's smile was still as gentle as a spring breeze.

Li Hao gently tapped the table, his eyes calmly and coldly watching Sillian. "Are you threatening me?"

"Haha, haha, such familiar eyes, so nostalgic, Li Hao!" Sillian revealed a heartfelt smile. "This gives me a strong sense of reality. This is the feeling of being alive. Nan Gongyuhang would do this kind of thing, but I wouldn't. It's too lacking in skill, and forcing you to go all-in is the most unfavorable thing. Weaknesses, their existence is the weakness, right?"

For someone like Li Hao, turning into a reckless madman is the most terrifying thing.

"Doesn't it tire you to live like this?" Li Hao said lightly.

Mal replaced the tea with a fresh pot.

"During my coma, there were more than a hundred assassination attempts against me. There were also some people standing in front of me, with faces full of clumsy regret, but with an undisguised satisfaction in their eyes. Look, we are all family. For their sake, how could I die?" Sillian said, "Life is so rich and colorful."

"Tell me, aren't artificial humans more like humans, so I envy you."

"You can choose."

"Don't say that. Others don't understand, but you should. I can't choose. It was destined from the moment I was born. What transcendence are you talking about? It's just a game. Since we're going to play, let's play it big."

Li Hao looked at Sillian lightly. "Speak, what do you want?"

Mal served the tea. Sillian smiled. Mal was already preparing. It wasn't the store's tea. Soon, an intoxicating aroma that went straight to the top of his head wafted over.

"Try it." Sillian pushed a cup in front of Li Hao. "This has to start with the wormhole. We discovered that wormhole, but we didn't build it. It existed in the first place. It can be said with certainty that it's not natural, but left behind by another advanced civilization."

"You don't seem surprised." Sillian looked at Li Hao, observing him the entire time.

Li Hao smiled. "Our information is asymmetrical. That depends on whether what you're saying is true."

"That's true. From the discovery of the wormhole to the appearance of the Kepler coordinates, everything was extraordinarily coincidental, as if God really favored humanity. But in tracing the wormhole, we discovered another unexpected coordinate, pointing to Earth. The Melaphis family used some means to find the Earth's coordinates and discovered a surprise." Sillian said, "Once you eliminate all the impossibilities, the remaining result, no matter how incredible, must be the truth."

"Oh, and what does this have to do with me?" Li Hao waved his hand.

Sillian was stunned. "You're not interested?"

"I'm interested. It's great, alien civilizations, it feels like it could go viral. Keep it up, I'll be waiting to see." Li Hao said very seriously. He was really interested, just not in the same thing.

Sillian laughed, laughing very happily. The two sat face to face, and the sunlight shone through the window. One was handsome, and the other was dashing. From time to time, they let out hearty laughter. Anyone who looked at them would think they were two old friends reuniting after many years.

From time to time, students would come into the store, and they were a little strange after learning that it was reserved, but they didn't think too much about it. They were just curious about the scene at the door.

"Okay, it seems like I can't get away with not taking something out. In addition to spatial jumps, wormholes can also transmit information across space. I'm not talking about human information transmission, but something that can affect the human brain." Sillian looked at Li Hao with a smile that was not a smile.

"Are you interested now?"

Li Hao took a sip of tea. "The taste is good. Leave some for me."

"There isn't much production this year. I'll give you half."

Li Hao shrugged. "We're not considering the same direction. I'm interested, but I don't have the urge to participate. You also know that our Tianjing battle team doesn't have it easy. I'm not like you. I'm under a lot of pressure. It's hard."

Sillian looked at Li Hao's clumsy performance, his expression serious. "Speak, what are the conditions?"

He had some psychological preparation. He wasn't afraid of Li Hao opening his mouth. He was afraid of him not opening his mouth. Of course, he still had to be cautious about the conditions that Li Hao, at this level, would offer.

"There's a training plan for Tianjing Mech Academy. You have to be responsible for undertaking it, providing enough convenience. Also, the treatment for the people injured in the Mid-Season Cup can't stop."

"Small things. The only good thing about having a lot of money is that it reduces a lot of trouble." Sillian said self-deprecatingly. Of course, he knew that the conditions wouldn't be related to money.

He wouldn't even be too surprised if Li Hao asked for a cosmic exploration warship.

"Since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. The appearance fee is two thousand and twenty." Student Li is a businessman. When he meets someone who is straightforward, he'll take advantage of them.

There was even an odd number.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door. It turned out to be Ma Long and the others. That balloon training was making everyone sick. So, Ma Long was treating everyone to tea to refresh themselves, but they saw Li Hao inside. But the people outside wouldn't let them in.

What a joke! In Tianjing, who doesn't know Teacher Ma Long!

"Mal, let the guests in."

"Yes, young master."

Ma Long and the others walked in.

"Damn, Brother Hao, we're training diligently, and you're enjoying yourself here, even reserving the whole place. That's not cool."

The moment he saw Sillian, Ma Long was a little stunned. What the hell, where did this handsome guy come from? Stealing jobs.
