Chapter 422 Strategy
Chapter 422 Strategy
After a gentle knock on the door, the door opened suddenly as if it had been waiting for a long time.
The man who opened the door said with a smile on his face,
"Master Liuchi, you are here?"
Liu Chi walked directly into the room. Seeing that the other four people's eyes were fixed on him, he smiled and said,
"What's wrong? Do you want to eat me? Even if that's the case, I won't let you go."
Liu Chi finished speaking with a smile, then his expression became a little more serious and he continued,
"Just kidding, have you guys rested well these past two days? Has Assistant Jia failed to treat us well in any way?"
After one question, several people shook their heads. The man who opened the door smiled and said,
"Master Liu Chi, we have thought a lot these past two days. Even if you let us go, it is still a question whether we can return alive. So the five of us have discussed and decided to take this opportunity to become your disciples and serve you like slaves."
"What?" Liu Chi pretended to be surprised. "No, you are the pawns of my enemy. Doing this will only do me harm and no good!"
As if he knew that Liu Chi would directly refuse, the man answered with the words he had prepared in advance.
"Although I don't know who was behind this, there is an unwritten rule among us that once we are captured, we lose all our value. So many of my warriors would choose to commit suicide once they fall into the hands of the enemy."
"and many more!"
Liu Chi interrupted the man and asked in confusion,
"Then why didn't you commit suicide?"
The man smiled awkwardly.
"We are just small soldiers accompanying us, far from reaching the level of death warriors. Even the poison for suicide has not been distributed to us by the superiors. Just like what you said, I am afraid that people like us are not even bargaining chips."
"Then according to what you said, you are also worthless to me, right?"
Hearing Liu Chi say this, several people immediately panicked, and it was the man who spoke up,
"What the five of us mean is that as long as you are willing, we can stay and work for you. If you don't want to, you can kill us without worry. In other words, if you let us go, we can't go back. Next, we will find a way to leave Liro."
Liu Chi curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction,
"No, you've spent so much of my resources, you must stay and work for me!"
After hearing Liu Chi's words, several people became slightly excited, but uneasiness also rose from the bottom of their hearts.
"Thank you, Master Liuchi!"
"Okay, don't just sit there, go down and find Assistant Jia and ask her to assign you some work."
Liu Chi paused, then continued, "Who among you has a wife and children?"
Several people looked at each other, then looked at Liu Chi at the same time and shook their heads.
Liu Chi looked at the older and younger men, sighed softly, shook his head and said,
"What I mean is, if something happens to you, your wife and children might not be safe either. Bring them to my place as soon as possible and give each of you a small room. There's no pressure there."
After saying this, Liu Chi left the room and sat in the small square in front of the hotel in his fur coat, basking in the sun until noon.
After the meal, the work of the five people was arranged properly. Liu Chi even assigned Lance to privately inquire about the family affairs of the five people, and help them take their wives and children to the hotel and settle them down.
Liu Chi did this for his own reasons. In this way, the five people were firmly in his hands. Although their strength was not very strong and they were only junior magicians, Liu Chi was very clear about the effect of the superposition of several enhancement magics.
When the time comes, the one standing in front of the five people to receive strengthening will be Lance.
In the evening, after observing the venue for a while, Liu Chi took a rest in the office, calculating the profitability of the venue in his mind.
The combined revenue from hotel rooms, restaurants, singing and dancing entertainment, and shopping malls is probably not as high as that from a gambling venue. Seventy percent of the people who come in lose money, and among the rest, except for those who break even, only less than one-tenth can walk away with a profit.
Many times, it’s not that people can’t win, but greed is at work. Human greed is endless, and they pay a huge price for it. In the casino, that price is money.
Liuchi's place is not like other places where you will be "asked" to leave if you lose all your money. Instead, once you lose a certain amount of money, you can stay in the hotel for free, try various foods for free, and even enjoy singing and dancing performances.
Even if you want to leave, the place will give you some money, so at least you won't leave the hotel penniless.
And all of this was learned by the girls in the library of the spiritual sea.
Another day has passed, it is the second day of March. The heavy snow that fell three days ago has completely melted today. When the sun shines on my body, it is no longer as cold, but warm and soft.
Liu Chi sat on a chair in the small square as usual, feeling the sunshine. Yang Xi, who was standing nearby, was studying the giant Sorrow Frost sword that he had erected.
Suddenly, Liu Chi's ears keenly caught a sound of breaking air.
Liu Chi immediately opened his soul realm and jumped down from the chair. A slender and tight arrow was inserted into the place where Liu Chi had just sat.
If Liu Chi could sense magic elements, he would find that some magic elements still remained on the arrow.
Yang Xi immediately picked up the giant sword and asked,
"Is there an enemy?"
Liu Chi nodded, and through his soul realm, he had locked his sights on a beautiful girl in the distance.
"There is indeed an enemy, but I am a little confused. Let's ignore it for now and pretend nothing happened. I want to see what this person wants to do."
Liu Chi sat calmly next to the arrow and gestured to Yang Xi to relax.
The beautiful girl in the distance saw this scene and pretended to know nothing like a passerby, and left the scene step by step.
If Liu Chi hadn't dodged the arrow, no one would know who shot it.
"gone."
Liu Chi, who was leaning on a chair, began to speak.
"The arrow just now could be an assassination or a test. I deliberately sat here for two days just to see if anyone was secretly watching us."
"Then what should we do?" Yang Xi asked worriedly, feeling a little panicked. If the arrow just now was shot at him, he would probably have been hit.
"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We can't act rashly. Let's wait for two more days until Nanako comes back."
After hearing this, Yang Xi finally understood why Liu Chi hadn't gone anywhere in the past two days. It seemed that Baotou must have gone out to do something.
"it is good!"
Liu Chi took back his soul realm and stood up at the same time. The two of them walked towards the hotel together.
Time flies and it is night again. Liu Chi feels that after the sneak attack during the day, he doesn't know what the other party's purpose is, but tonight is definitely not so ordinary.
According to customers in the place, Eastern Star suspended operations the day after the store manager disappeared.
Liu Chi was also very clear that the forces behind it were ready to fight him to the end. Their fundamental interest was the money behind this huge industrial chain, and the emergence of this hotel was equivalent to competing for jobs with several forces at the same time.
Liu Chi didn’t know why Yang Xi and the others decided to open such a hotel, but now that things had come to this, there was no turning back. Since they were going to do it, they had to be the best!
Sure enough, just as Liu Chi had expected, after early morning, three uninvited guests appeared in the hotel lobby.
Justine quickly sent someone to report, and the news gradually reached Liu Chi's ears.
"Director Liu! There are three guys outside, two men and one woman, carrying weapons and trying to enter the venue."
Liu Chi didn't think twice and started to disperse. Those who were still having fun had to leave, but they didn't leave in vain. Almost all the money they brought in today was returned, so those who left left in high spirits.
In just twenty minutes, the huge venue was empty except for the staff.
"Let them in!"
Liu Chi's orders were passed down layer by layer, and Justine let the three of them enter the spinach hall.
After seeing that there was no customer in the hall, the three of them laughed. Accompanied by a group of staff, they walked to a gambling table.
"Where's your boss here? We're here to challenge him!"
Assistant Jia said to the three people slowly,
"Three guests, what do you mean by kicking the club?"
Because of the recent conflict with Eastern Star, Justine didn't know whether the three men meant to destroy the place or to play a big gamble.
"Nothing, just trying out the technology you have here."
