Hearing Ling Xiaoyi’s report, everyone was stunned and looked around at one another!
Li Xuancheng, together with Li Hanhong and Li Tianxing, is asking to see Hong Dali? Grandfather, father, and son together? This is too exaggerated, right? What do they want? To offer their apologies and plead guilty?
Inside the St. Homburg Grand Hotel’s lobby.
The hotel staff stood around the entire lobby. Everyone bowed at a 45-degree angle, trembling in fear. Countless hotel guests also turned pale.
Silence.
Head of the Five Kings, Li Xuancheng, stood at the center of the lobby with a stern expression. He wore a silver and white-colored coat with the words “Five King.Xuancheng” embroidered on the back.
Li Hanhong and Li Tianxing stood at attention behind Li Xuancheng, holding their breath.
Nobody knew what they were here for. However, they were well aware that it was not their place to make wild guesses.
“Er, Mister Li.” While Li Xuancheng and the rest were waiting, a lazy voice was heard. They raised their heads and saw Hong Dali, dressed in a black and white-colored coat, coming down from the escalator. Hong Dali said, “You’re making such a scene. Is that really necessary? Look at how scared all these people are…”
“Ah, haha, Dali, you’re finally here!” Once Hong Dali appeared, Li Xuancheng did something that surprised everyone present! He laughed and walked forward. He first gave Hong Dali a warm hug, then, he loudly said, “My useless grandson offended you previously. Today I’ve brought him here to apologize to you!”
The head of the Five Kings, Li Xuancheng, personally brought his grandson here to apologize to an Honorary Aristocrat!
Did the world go crazy? How could that happen?!
Nobody present dared to speak. However, they shared the same thought.
“The world must have gone crazy. Why else would a Galaxy Aristocrat apologize to an Honorary Aristocrat?”
“He’s one of the Five Kings, and yet he’s apologizing to an Honorary Aristocrat? How could that be?!”
“Oh my god, a Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat is leading a group of Black-level Honorary Aristocrats. How insane is this world?!”
Upon seeing the huge crowd of irrelevant personnel, Hong Dali silently sighed.
This Li Xuancheng had a good plan.
He brought Li Hanhong and Li Tianxing to apologize with so many spectators around. That’s giving me a lot of face. If I still reject him, I’ll be the unreasonable one.
Therefore, Hong Dali smiled and said, “Mister Li, you’re too kind. That’s all water under the bridge. It’s not a big deal.”
“It may be water under the bridge for you, but not for me. I can’t let go of this just like that.” Li Xuancheng patted Hong Dali on the shoulder. Then, he turned to yell at the pale Li Tianxing. “Scoundrel. What did I say? Get your ass here now!”
Upon seeing the anger on his grandfather’s face, Li Tianxing clenched his fists. He forced himself to walk over and said quietly, “Dali, I was wrong. It’s all my fault. Please forgive me. Okay?”
Li Tianxing bowed down! Li Tianxing bowed down in public!
Everyone looked at this Galaxy Aristocrat like they had just seen a ghost. Most of them were not aware of Li Tianxing’s identity. However, those who were smart had already figured out that he was obviously the grandson of one of the Five Kings, Li Xuancheng. Therefore, he must have a high status.
And now, this person was bowing down to a Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat…
Everyone felt their scalps tingle.
How powerful was this Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat exactly, to make a Galaxy Aristocrat bow down and apologize to him?
Of course, Hong Dali was still a magnanimous man. He nodded slightly and said, “Never mind, it’s all in the past. I didn’t really take it to heart. There’s no need to be so polite.”
“Then, thank you, Dali.” Li Tianxing forced himself to smile, then stepped back.
“Haha, haha. Dali, you’re as magnanimous as people claim you are. You have a big heart. You’re a young hero, haha!” Li Xuancheng laughed and held Hong Dali’s shoulders. “We wanted to express our stand to you, Dali. After all, they’ve offended you in the past. I know that you must’ve been angry. Aiya, however, you’re of a different status now. You don’t need to concern yourself with the likes of this trash from my family.” As he said that, he ordered, “Come in!”
“We’re here!” Eight guards rushed in from outside and stood at attention behind Li Xuancheng. “We await your orders, my Lord!”
“Hehe, bring the items here.” Li Xuancheng nodded. The guards left the hotel and returned a few seconds later, each holding a mahogany box.
“Dali, come, come. I’ll give you an introduction.” Li Xuancheng started from the first box. “I know that ordinary items are worthless to you now. Luckily, there are some special things kept in my family. Take it as a gesture of goodwill from me. This is a Soul Stone. I’m not sure about its exact attributes. After all, you can’t determine the attributes of all Soul Stones just from its appearance. However, it’s certain that all Soul Stones will grant its user with supernatural abilities.”
Hong Dali had always heard that Soul Stones were magical items that granted fighters great abilities. However, this was his first time actually seeing one.
It was a small, crystal clear stone. Hong Dali could not identify the exact composition of the stone. However, the fog and perfume it gave off were very alluring.
“Hm.” Hong Dali looked at the Soul Stone in the box and sniffled. Then, he turned to look at Levis. “Big Bro Levis, I’ll give this stone to you as a gift.”
Levis did not reject it. “Okay.” He stepped forward and picked up the Soul Stone.
Li Xuancheng almost lost his breath. That was a Soul Stone! Soul Stone! You just gave it away to your subordinate like that? You should at least use it yourself first, right?
Of course, if he did use it himself first, he would not be Hong Dali.
Hong Dali’s principles were simple. His friends and family were the most important people. After all, he had his own system and did not care much about ordinary items.
Therefore, Hong Dali gave away as many items brought by Li Xuancheng as he could. In total, he received two Soul Stones with unknown attributes, four stalks of Spirit Grass, one set of super-rare armor without attribute gems, and one billion Galaxy Dollars.
In the end, Hong Dali only kept the one billion Galaxy Dollars for squandering. He gifted everything else—the Soul Stones went to Levis and Blood Demon. The Spiral Grass to the Three Killers and Lackey Li Yang. As for the set of armor… it went to Lucifer. The reason was that Lucifer was the most fragile of the group. The armor would enhance his protection and alleviate the worries of the others.
After the distribution, it was time for some serious discussions.
“Mister Li.” Hong Dali waved his hands at the irrelevant personnel. Everyone else left. Hong Dali then asked, “You’re here today for something else, right? Hm, there are no strangers here anymore. Please let me know if you have any requests.”
Hong Dali would never believe that Li Xuancheng brought his son and grandson here to apologize without any ulterior motives.
After all, so many people watched as Li Tianxing apologized. This Li Xuancheng then offered so many rare items as gifts. He must have had something to ask for. Why else would he be willing to lose his face in front of such a crowd? Especially with Li Xuancheng’s status…
He was still the head of the Five Kings, right?
“Hehe, here’s the issue.” Li Xuancheng smiled and pulled Hong Dali to the side. He smiled and said, “I heard that, Dali, you have that… that very very precious…”
Hong Dali instantly understood what Li Xuancheng thought to be “very precious”. He then took out a Health gem from his space bracelet. “You’re talking about this, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes. That’s it!” Li Xuancheng stared at the Health gem with wide eyes. “Erm, Dali, can you lend me this item for a while? Lending, lending will be enough!”
Since he said that, what else could Hong Dali do? He threw the Health gem over. “It’s not something valuable. Here, you can have it as a gift. I don’t have a use for it, anyway.”
Hong Dali gave it away as a gift!
Li Xuancheng was instantly stunned! This was a Health gem! It was worth a fortune in the universe. Yet, this Hong Dali just gave it away for free? In his original thought, it would have been a success if he managed to just borrow it!
“Dali, you see, how can I accept it?” Li Xuancheng was truly shocked. “In that case, I can’t just accept such a good gift. Hm, let me think…”
He thought for a while and said, “Right! Aren’t you going to the Faerie Star? Once you’re there, I can provide you with some intel. Hm, it’s…” He looked around as if he was a thief. “Once you’re there, if you want to search for Soul Stones, you must be patient. This stuff is extremely rare. If you’re impatient, it’ll be impossible to find anything. However, I have a method of locating them!”
Eh? I’ve heard that Soul Stones are precious items. Who would’ve expected Li Xuancheng to know a way to locate them? In other words, I traded a useless piece of Health gem for a method of finding Soul Stones?
