Chapter 156 Attending the Banquet
Meanwhile, Lin Qiye and the others, who had been brought into the forbidden artifacts collection hall, had already finished selecting the forbidden items that Baili Xin had given them.
However, they also learned that after accepting these forbidden items, they would have to agree to a reasonable request from the Baili family.
Lin Qiye and the others did not suspect anything.
Transactions often provide more reassurance than gifts.
Before long, they arrived at the main venue of the Baili family, guided by the staff.
The top floor of the skyscraper was the venue for this birthday banquet. The large penthouse, spanning hundreds of square meters, was surrounded by neat floor-to-ceiling windows, outside which the sea of clouds surged from time to time.
Standing here, you can also overlook the entire city of Guangzhou and Shenzhen through the gaps in the clouds.
As Lin Qiye and the others marveled at the Baili family's 'inhuman extravagance,' the sweet voice of the emcee also came over the loudspeaker.
"Please make yourselves at home, dear guests. The birthday banquet will begin in ten minutes."
Upon hearing this, the five little ones found a place to stand and wait for Baili Pangpang and the others to arrive.
"Speaking of which...didn't Brother Li come back with Fatty? It's been so long, why haven't we seen him?"
Upon hearing Cao Yuan's question, Lin Qiye shook his head in confusion.
Although he was puzzled as to why Fatty and Brother Li had not shown up since they entered Guangzhou and Shenzhen, he did not consider the possibility of danger.
After all, nobody wants to be in trouble under that powerful person...
Why think so much? Maybe it'll be here soon?
"I really want to see that fatso put on a suit and become the heir of the Baili family."
Shen Qingzhu tugged at the tie around her neck with a roguish grin, feeling it was a little too tight.
Being rich is such a hassle; you have to wear formal attire even to have a meal.
He muttered to himself as he stuffed the delicate pastries in his hand into his mouth, speaking indistinctly.
"It's about to begin..."
..........
Chairman's Office, Baili Group.
"It's about to start. I'm going to the venue to see some old friends first. You can just come over later."
After giving his instructions, Baili Xin left the venue.
Baili Jing responded softly, then looked at Baili Pangpang with amusement.
"We still have some time, brother. It seems we need to sort out our problem."
Hearing this, the chubby boy clenched his fists; it seemed everything was true...
Fatty heard every word Baili Xin said. The "you" in "you can go directly" referred to Baili Jing; he didn't say that you two should go together.
This shows that in his mind, Baili Pangpang was already an insignificant object.
but.......
He did not heed Li Jie's advice.
When his 'mother' brought out breakfast and saw that doting look in his eyes, Baili Pangpang had long forgotten what Li Jie had said.
At that time, he was just a wounded child who wanted someone to comfort his wounds.
From the moment he stepped inside, he could no longer feel the presence of his spiritual energy.
Although Fatty doesn't have any forbidden artifacts for the time being, he still needs mental energy to use these forbidden items.
Now, he truly became a lamb to the slaughter.
Seeing that Baili Pangpang did not reply, Baili Jing chuckled and slowly raised his right hand, a bright green thumb ring flashing with light.
The ring disintegrated automatically in an instant, transforming into a jade glove that enveloped his fist.
In an instant, Baili Jing suddenly threw a punch at the fat man's face.
No mental strength...
Fatty cannot access the [Free Space].
He could only let Baili Jing's fist, wrapped in jade armor, strike him.
"Pfft~~!"
After the first blow, Baili Jing lunged forward and began to furiously hammer the fat man's body.
It was as if she was venting her pent-up resentment from so many years.
Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and looked coldly at Baili Pangpang, who was lying motionless on the ground.
Before long, the confusion in his eyes had dissipated, replaced by a ruthless glint.
He reached out and flipped his hand, and the jade glove on his hand transformed into a blue short sword.
"I will take everything back. Your mission is over. You can die in peace..."
The short knife pierced his flesh without making a sound, and Baili Pangpang's vision gradually blurred.
He was filled with resentment, resenting himself for not listening to Brother Lei and eating that damned breakfast.
He was filled with hatred, wondering why the family affection he longed for was being trampled on by those heartless people.
His mind gradually drifted away, blood gushed out, and he slowly stopped breathing.
After confirming that Fatty was dead, Baili Jing silently removed the dagger that was stuck in Fatty's chest.
With a flash of blue light, the short blade transformed into a thumb ring and was placed on his hand.
Just then, Baili Xin pushed open the door and entered. He looked at Baili Pangpang, who was already lifeless on the ground, with no emotion in his eyes.
He looked up and greeted Baili Jing.
"Let's go, it's about to begin..."
"You're not holding back at all; you've made the floor all dirty."
Although Baili Xing's words seemed like a reproach, they were actually filled with affection.
As the two figures receded into the distance, Baili Pangpang, lying in a pool of blood, revealed a bitter smile.
The jade ruyi hidden within his body was emitting a deep, mysterious light...
..........
In the banquet hall, after Baili Xin finished his opening remarks, he began his abdication speech.
"...Now, I will introduce to you the person who will succeed me as head of the Baili Group. He is my son, the designated heir of the Baili Group, Baili Tuming!"
As soon as Baili Xin finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the banquet hall.
However, Lin Qiye and the others had somewhat strange expressions.
Why is it that none of the advantages Fatty's dad mentioned apply to that fatso at all...?
What kind of logical thinking... business acumen...?
Is this something that spendthrift son of a man should have?
"No wonder he's Fatty's dad... even his words are full of depth..."
Lin Qiye's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but speak up.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and the floor-to-ceiling windows around the banquet hall also became gloomy and dark.
“Now, let my son greet everyone,” Baili Xin said at the opportune moment.
At the same time, a beam of light shone from afar, illuminating a refined young man dressed in a black suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the beam of light followed Baili Jing's figure until he stood steadily beside Baili Xin.
He took the microphone from the latter, gave a wicked smile, and began to speak.
"Hello everyone, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Baili Tuming, the heir to the Baili Group..."
