Chapter 421 Chips
"Want to chase?"
Catherine asked, her eyes fixed on the evacuating carriage in the distance.
"No need to chase, let's go back."
Watching the enemies go away, Liu Chi had no intention of chasing them at all. Leaving these five magicians behind would be good bargaining chips.
"Take them back as well and put them under house arrest."
Liu Chi walked towards the hotel, while the others escorted the five magicians back to the hotel.
Sitting on the sofa in the hall, Liu Chi waved to Justine after seeing everyone come in.
After seeing Liu Chi's signal, Justine hurried over from the crowd.
"Director Liu, do you have any instructions?"
"Send these five magicians to the best guest rooms. You will be with them the whole time. There are some things I want to get clear from them. Be polite to them and treat them like guests."
"this?"
Justine hesitated for a moment, then quickly smiled and nodded.
"I understand, Director Liu!"
After finishing the explanation, Liu Chi stood up and walked directly into the spinach hall.
Because Justine was accompanying them, Lance simply escorted the five people to the large guest room, and then went to the spinach hall like everyone else.
Liu Chi in the office stared intently at what was in front of him. Although to outsiders he looked like he was in a daze, he was using his brain power to control and browse the technological system.
“Liu Chi, these guys, what do you mean by not locking them up and treating them well? They don’t treat me like this!”
The door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and Catherine rushed in angrily and asked Liu Chi,
"Third Princess, this is a trick. Do you think they will confess under torture? I might as well use practical actions to influence them and paint a rosy picture for them. It would be best if I could make them willingly work for me."
Liu Chi shifted his gaze from the technology system interface to look at Catherine who had entered the room, and smiled.
"Isn't this nice?"
Yang Xi, who was outside the door, heard all this and walked in, expressing his agreement with Liu Chi's approach.
"Liu Chi is right. It is better to force a confession by torture than by brainwashing. We are short of manpower right now, and the best way is to turn the enemy into our helper."
After listening to Yang Xi, Catherine snorted coldly and retorted,
"So, if I'm caught one day, I'll become your enemy, right?"
Hearing what Catherine said, Liu Chi laughed, but only laughed for a moment before his expression became very serious.
"My lovely princess, you can give it a try. I will be happy to accompany you then."
Catherine was frightened by Liu Chi's sudden change of attitude. She stood there, not knowing what to say.
Seeing Catherine's reaction, Liu Chi laughed again and continued,
"Catherine, don't think too much. I will rescue you and help you get revenge."
Hearing Liu Chi change his words, Catherine's heart slowly settled down. She just glanced at Liu Chi and whispered,
"I'll go out and take a look. You go ahead and do your work."
After Catherine walked out of the room, Liu Chi looked up at Yang Xi and motioned her to close the room.
After Yang Xi closed the door, she turned around and saw Liu Chi pointing to the door of the room. She locked the room with some confusion.
“Is it necessary to lock it?”
Liu Chi nodded slightly and explained,
"Catherine is just like that. Don't worry too much about her."
"I see."
"Well, what do you think of the new weapon? Is it useful?"
Liu Chi asked,
Yang Xi nodded and answered,
“It’s useful, but I always feel it’s a little weird.”
Liu Chi also nodded in agreement and said,
"I think so too. I always feel that you haven't fully utilized the power of this sword."
"It seems that my strength is not enough. After all, I was still at the level of a swordsman before. I was promoted two levels in a short period of time. Maybe this is a side effect."
"Practice with Lance when you have time. I don't think he would object."
"Okay, I'll ask Brother Lance for advice when I have time."
Liu Chi nodded, shut down the technology system that had been on hold, and asked in a low voice,
"What do you think of Assistant Jia?"
"Assistant Jia?"
Yang Xi asked in a low voice. She didn't understand why Liu Chi suddenly lowered his voice.
Liu Chi nodded and waited for Yang Xi's answer.
"Assistant Jia was carefully selected from among many job applicants. She is a woman of marriageable age who is living alone in Liro. She used to be a waitress in a tavern."
After listening to Justine's brief information, Liu Chi nodded. She must have some outstanding qualities to stand out from so many job applicants.
Liu Chi raised his hand, signaling Yang Xi to stop talking, and he said,
"Xi'er, thank you. Please go out first. I have some things to take care of. Call me if you have anything."
Liu Chi stretched out his hand and pointed at the bracelet on Yang Xi's hand.
After Yang Xi left, Liu Chi reopened the technology system interface which had not been closed, and a set of armor was displayed on the interface.
On that day, the fortress that was originally staying in the sky of Lilo left Lilo alone. Nanako, who received the order from Yanagiike, controlled the fortress to go to the mine photographed on the Black Pearl.
It was a peaceful day, which passed slowly during the normal operation of the hotel. Liu Chi also sat in the office for the whole day, and even his meals were brought to him by Yang Xi.
In the early morning of the next day, after the spinach field closed, everyone was able to rest.
Because the twelfth floor was too high, Liu Chi directly lived in the office on the second floor of the Spinach Hall. In order to prevent possible sneak attacks at any time, everyone, like Liu Chi, found a room to live in the Spinach Hall.
After getting up early in the morning, Liu Chi walked alone to the door of the guest room arranged for the five magicians.
After a crisp knock on the door, the door slowly opened and a thin man opened the door.
When he saw Liu Chi's kind smile, his anger disappeared completely.
"You're here? What's going on?"
Liu Chi shook his head and said with a smile,
"You guys are here, are you resting well? If there is anything you did not do well, I will ask my subordinates to improve it. I don't want to let you, the talented magicians, suffer."
When the man heard this and saw Liu Chi's attitude, he had a huge question in his heart: Is he a rare talent?
"Can you let me in and take a look at your living environment? If not, you can stay at my place. My own room is big and absolutely comfortable!"
Soon, the man's teammates noticed something was wrong, and two of them ran directly to the door of the room. Before they knew what was happening, Liu Chi walked into the room.
They didn't have the courage to stop Liu Chi, and they even gave up their seats on their own initiative. They had no idea what Liu Chi was up to.
After coming in, Liu Chi walked along the wall, passed through several rooms in a row, and toured the entire guest room.
Seeing the five people, who were not dressed very neatly, looking at him in unison, Liu Chi said half-jokingly,
"I don't know what methods the person behind you used to make you work so hard for him. If only I could have helpers like you, alas! It's a pity that now I can only use you as bargaining chips."
Seeing that everyone's expressions had slightly changed, Liu Chi continued,
"I just don't know if your chips are worth anything. If I let you spoil me like this, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself."
Liu Chi's words made the faces of several people change suddenly, as if they remembered something, and the five people began to feel uneasy.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Liu Chi walked towards the door of the guest room, saying,
"Take good care of him and make sure nothing goes wrong. If you need anything, tell Assistant Jia."
Not long after Liu Chi left, the five of them held a small meeting in a low voice at the large table in the guest room.
However, they didn't know that their small meeting was heard clearly by Liu Chi.
Liu Chi, who was walking slowly down the stairs, smiled after hearing the content of the meeting.
After going downstairs, Liu Chi ran into Justine, and when he saw her about to go upstairs, he quickly stopped her.
"Assistant Jia, prepare some good wine and food, and send them up in an hour."
"Okay, Director Liu!"
Justine nodded and then went downstairs.
Liu Chi returned to the spinach hall, had breakfast with everyone, and then stayed in the office.
Time quickly came to a new day, and this day was also the first day of March.
Liu Chi slept until very late and by the time he got up, more than half of the morning had passed. He had only one purpose, which was to enter the guest room where five people were imprisoned.
