Chapter 7: You might thank me

  The crime of illegally manufacturing military weapons is still quite serious under the laws of the Earth Federation. If it were an ordinary company without any background, perhaps everyone would be executed, but for a group like the Shangguan family with some background, at least the Shangguan family would suffer a severe blow, losing their current glory and prestige.

  "Although I couldn't bring down the Shangguan family, Miss Shangguan, you won't be able to keep your glamorous identity and halo. At that time, you, who are too beautiful, may become a plaything for a group of men, rather than a strong woman who grasps her own future and life." Mu Xiao ruthlessly tore off the hypocritical mask of the upper class circle.

  Indeed, once the Shangguan family fell, as the first heir, Shangguan Wanxin would inevitably be the first to be sacrificed.

  Shangguan Xuanxin listened to Mu Xiao's words, her bright red and plump lips suddenly curved into a meaningful arc. "Mr. Mu, it seems you're not someone from an organization behind the scenes, perhaps just a person who understands some invasion techniques, wanting to use this to extort me?"

  Just like a thunderclap on a clear day, the words sounded in Mu Xiao's ears, and it could be said that Shang Guan Xuanxin had seen through Mu Xiao's trump card.

  "Is she kidding me?"

  The more critical the situation, the calmer Mu Xiao became. His heart didn't even beat faster as he said calmly: "I don't quite understand what you're saying. If you agree to my request, I can even provide the complete 'ZI-S001' program. As long as you complete this machine, regardless of family status and wealth, it will be far more than what the Purple Chrysanthemum has now..."

  Shangguan Xian's slender and delicate body relaxed, adopting a casual and leisurely posture, as if she had regained control of the situation. Without hesitation, she interrupted Mu Xiao's speech, smiling and saying: "Mr. Mu, I'm even more certain now that what I said earlier is true - you're someone without any background."

  Suddenly, Shangguan Xun's tone changed and she said: "Wanting the property of Zijing Flower is impossible, but I am willing to hire you at a high salary as my right-hand man. This position far surpasses all employees in the company, and it is also a great opportunity for you to enter our upper-class circle."

  Her eyes were as calm as water, gazing at Shangguan Wanxin's bright and beautiful face, silent and speechless.

  Not to mention just the aristocratic circles on Earth, even if it's a return to the noble life on the moon, Mu Xiao has no interest in it at all...

  "It seems you still don't know where you went wrong..." Shangguan Xuanxin slightly bent down, opened the drawer beside her, took out a bottle of wine and two cups, then poured two cups of white liquor and placed them in front of Mu Xiao. She pursed her bright red lips and took a small sip before slowly explaining: "If you have someone backing you, they must be clear about the situation in our circle - that is, the engagement between the Shangguan family and the An family. As I am the future daughter-in-law of the An family, even if the Shangguan family falls, I will still have a glorious and radiant status in the An family. So, your threats don't pose any threat to me. The Shangguan family has the support of the An family and won't be hurt at its roots. Although it's a bit troublesome, we'll only lose about one of the Zi Jing Hua Group's assets... As for why I didn't give you the Zi Jing Hua Group's assets, it's to avoid reducing trouble because I'm not someone who is used to being threatened."

  An Jia? The An Jia who is in charge of the Special Police Force? Could it be that she's the fiancée of Prince An Ren?

  Her eyebrows furrowed, and she realized that her usual intimidation tactics were no longer effective. Initially, she had thought that using the 'ZI-S001' mass-produced machine from the later era would be enough to scare off Officer Huan Xinyan, but unexpectedly, the 'Anjia' incident occurred, and she also didn't expect this woman to have such sharp reaction abilities.

  In the late post-apocalyptic era, the Shangguan family was a mid-sized organization, most famous for its 'ZI-S001' machine model. Therefore, Mu Xiao had some understanding of the Shangguan family's background. As for the strong figures in the later period, there was no Shangguan Wanqing character, it seemed that she was one of those who died early in history. On the other hand, An Jia, a person with the greatest reputation 'An Renwang', turned out to be a pretty strong character...

  "Alas... it seems that even precognitive rebirth memories can be useless at times." Mu Xiao sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but lament the loss of her lunar identity, which had also cut off her access to information. However, even if she were still on the moon, she wouldn't have paid attention to the "family affairs" of an earthly tycoon.

  Xu Guan Xian looked at Mu Xiao with a triumphant attitude, saying strongly: "Mr. Mu, you clearly refused my words, what kind of consequences will follow, this is also your only way out."

  If there is someone behind Mu Xiao, it must be some big-name families, and it's very likely that there is a huge conspiracy targeting the An family and the Shangguan family. Shangguan Xuanxin was worried about this, but after figuring out Mu Xiao's 'trump card', she didn't have such worries anymore. Even if the news of 'illegal manufacturing' spreads outside, she has enough time to prepare.

  So, Shangguan Wanxin thought she was standing on a completely victorious platform, but she encountered Mu Xiao and also encountered this critical day today.

  Mu Xiao's expression was warm and gentle as he gazed at the stunning beauty in front of him, a faint smile on his lips. "Miss Shangguan, actually I had planned to resolve this difficulty with a gentle method, which would undoubtedly be good for both you and me. Unfortunately, you didn't cooperate..."

  "Huh?" Just as Yu Xuan was feeling more and more uneasy, Mu Xiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his entire demeanor changed dramatically, like a ferocious beast bursting out of its cage, emitting a violent and bloody aura that engulfed Yu Xuan's consciousness. Her rosy face turned deathly pale, and an intangible fear took hold of her body and mind, rendering her unable to react.

  Although Mu Xiao temporarily lost the combat power of the new human, the momentum of the former strong new human still exists, which can thoroughly intimidate the Upper Official Huan Xinyan of the old human at this time. After all, before rebirth, Mu Xiao was also a small-name new human solo traveler, and had experienced big and small battles, and his momentum had been integrated into his fighting instincts, freely available.

  So, for Shangguan Wanxin who has not yet evolved into a new human being, Mu Xiao's aura is no less than a spiritual attack. It's just that Mu Xiao deliberately suppressed his aura to the lowest level. If he releases his former combat posture, that vast and mighty battle intent aura will definitely crush Shangguan Wanxin's spirit.

  People in high positions can cultivate an aura of superiority that subtly intimidates ordinary people, making them tremble with fear.

  What's more, he was a warrior who had been through countless battles, and the aura on his body was even more terrifying, making it difficult to defend against. Unless the superior had the same experience as the warrior and held the power of life and death over countless people. However, Mu Xiao's experience was not something that Shang Guan Wan Xing could compare with.

  "Actually, I'm not used to being threatened by others either. So now, I'll give you a chance to compromise with me. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen next, and it's uncertain whether we can continue talking as pleasantly as we are now." Mu Xiao's eyes were icy and emotionless, her hand somehow already grasping a red energy blade that had suddenly grown over a meter long. The scorching tip of the blade was only half an inch away from piercing Shangguan Yanyu's smooth, delicate throat.

  He was holding the modified 'Hyperwave Blade' which had originally been less than half a meter in length, but now burst to one meter, consuming more energy. Fortunately, he had replaced it with a large-capacity energy block in advance, which could support a long time of use, but the material couldn't sustain too much energy...

  "You... who are you, ordinary people wouldn't have this kind of pressure..." Shang Guan Xuan's face turned pale, feeling a sharp and scorching breath on her throat, but her eyes remained bright and firm, with an unyielding light.

  "If your fingers tremble at this frequency, my knife tip will definitely pierce your throat before you trigger the alarm." Mu Xiao's face was expressionless, and the ultra-high-frequency microwave knife in his hand didn't show a single tremble as it pierced through her throat, causing a thread of blood to flow down from her elegant and slender neck, but it instantly evaporated due to the scorching heat of the ultra-high-frequency microwave knife.

  Shangguan Xing's body stiffened again, not daring to move, as if locked by a ferocious beast, which could tear her into pieces at any moment. The icy killing intent was like an invisible big hand, grasping her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.

  "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Shangguan and An families?" Shangguan Xuanxian asked, trying to calm herself.

  "We'll talk about it again tomorrow." Mu Xiao coldly smiled with deep meaning.

  "What does it mean?!" Shangguan Xing's heart suddenly felt a chill, as if a great disaster was about to befall her own family.

  "I don't want to waste too much time talking nonsense with you. Immediately disable all alarms in the room in front of me, including those two S-level robots. Otherwise, I'll take you hostage, strip you naked, and parade you around your company floor by floor, so everyone can admire your bare...".

  "Shameless!" Yu Xuan's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, her originally pale face flushed with a wave of red, and the fear in her heart dissipated.

  "Release or not release?" Mu Xiao said lightly.

  Shangguan Xing thought it wouldn't be so easy to yield to Mu Xiao's shamelessness, and didn't believe he would really dare to strip himself naked and take her downstairs. The only outcome of such an action would be facing the terrifying revenge of both families. However, seeing his indifferent gaze, a wave of fear and chill arose in her heart, as if he truly dared to do so.

  "You will regret everything you did today." Shangguan Xing looked at Mu Xiao with a cold eye, took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and drew several strokes in the air, and a light screen appeared in front of her with many setting options. Mu Xiao watched intently as she cancelled all the options before shutting down the energy output of the super-frequency microwave knife, also feeling the handle heat up, if it went on for a while, who knows what kind of side effects would appear from the super-frequency output, causing the internal components to burn out.

  "After today, you might thank me." Mu Xiao's intimidating aura dissipated, and he regained his natural and friendly smile. But Shangguan Xingyun was very clear that behind this man's smiling face, there were extremely cold and brutal, shameless and vicious qualities.

  "Alright." Mu Xiao said in a tone as casual as idle chatter, without a hint of warmth or enthusiasm, lazily saying: "Now hand over the company's financial account password and your personal account password to me."

  Shangguan Xinxin looked at him with a lazy and careless expression, as if asking herself how much money to take out, her tone was so infuriating that she almost went crazy and fought with him.

  No one dares to speak to Guan Yuexin like that, nor does anyone dare to have such an attitude towards her. From childhood to adulthood, she has been surrounded by countless halos and praise, this is the first time she has suffered such a huge blow, so under such a huge contrast, it's no wonder she doesn't go crazy.

  What if I don't give it to you? Aren't you afraid that we'll both perish together?

  Of course, Shang Guan Xuan Xin wouldn't say anything, because she understood her own fate was much more valuable than Mu Xiao's, so she "cooperated" and revealed the account number and password.

  Mu Xiao used her light brain on the stage to log in to the bank, and soon opened the account she provided, only to find that the amount of credit points inside was not as large as expected.

  "Is the Purple Thorn Group worth only this much? Are you insulting my intelligence or trying to prove your own wisdom?" Mu Xiao's eyes were filled with mockery as he looked at Shangguan Xuanxin.

  "There are 20 billion credit points in the account, enough for you to use for a lifetime." Shangguan Xuan's hands were crossed over her full and proud jade peak, with an implicit tone: "Moreover, I don't know if you have time to use up all the credit points inside."
