Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth - Chapter 190 Showdown In Sydney IV
“First of all I have it from a very reliable source that the engineers and Artificers had agreed to give the prototype airship to Alexander Zhang Xiao Feng as a gift for his help, on the agreement that he would help them with future versions of the airship and prolonged partnership with the Aenz Automobile industry , so why then are you kept now auctioning it off, and in such a secretive manner, do you want to back out of the agreement.
In the Wulin we believe that a man or an organization should be true to their word, how can you back out of it in such a manner, do you think that Childe Spirit Wind is a fool, or do you think that the fact that he’s supported as a spouse for the ninth princess of the empire of heaven is nothing more than a farce that you can overlook.
You’re even selling it to his own brother in-law! Is this a joke, are you trying to cause problems within the household of the Imperial family! You people want there to be war? Why?”
Everyone here knew without a doubt that Alex, though masked was just here to cause problems, but even if everything he was spouting might be total bullshit, the Imperial family cared enough about their face that if his accusations went outside of this place, it would inevitably spell room for the Aenz automobile industry. The second prince was cornered, face was important to a cultivator, but even more so to a royal, he had no choice but to stand up for a brother in-law that he honestly hated with all of his guts.
“Please do explain, even though I’m not in agreement with this masked stranger, are his accusations true? Explain yourself and I would like for you to bring the engineers and Qi Artificers responsible for building of the airship here, I think it would be wise if we also hear this story from their own mouth.”
The second prince said as he sat back down with a pensive look, though it was quite obvious he was also scheming.
The host had no choice, he was already driven into a corner, and he had no choice but to rain heaps, upon heaps of curses on Alex, and that was when it clicked, hit him so hard like a ton of bricks. That might not be Alex sitting there, but by now the whole world pretty much knew of his weird power with masks, apart from the Emperor’s banquet a few months ago, there were footages of him fighting during his time in the academy, masks were no synonymous with his image and reputation, so much so that people have taken to calling him The Devil.
But it was too late to back off now, he had no choice but to comply, even if this was the kingdom of Australia, a neutral ground between the two empires, there was no denying that their power were absolute. No one could go against them and this was the second prince, someone that was a popular option to become the next Emperor of the heaven’s empire. They rather not cross them, besides he was just the host, he didn’t have to bust his ass so much for an unreasonable decision a higher up made for a woman who had her heads buried in between his legs.
It didn’t take long before the Qi engineer and the Artificer that made the deal with Alex walked in, they were flanked by a couple of well dressed men and women, these were probably the board of directors, previously they had been satisfied with just watching how the auctioning went, but Alex had stirred a hornet’s nest, and quite a lot of people here were all too willing to kick at it even more, the second prince was no exception.
“Ladies and gentlemen my name is Curvetañ Listik and this is Jeremiah Honest, we’re the chief developers for the Divine Empress Morgana. We’ve heard what our masked friend has to say, and he’s absolutely right, we did make an agreement with Childe Spirit Wind that the airship would be given to him once it was completed.
With his help, a work of fiver years was completed in just two weeks, it was the least we could do, but since the agreement was made without the consent of our investors and partners it was considered null and void as they chose to auction the ship off instead and offer some monetary compensation to Childe Spirit Wind to fix any soured relationship!” Alex was angry, no he was livid and fucking pissed off, and it was so strong that his shadow began to roil and shake.
Alex would have kept up with this pretense until he was satisfied, but he’s going through puberty right now, his temper wasn’t good at all, not one bit.
So when the three wraiths blasted out of his body wailing bloody murder into the air, Quickly followed by Devonte and Khan everyone was pretty much shocked. In the first place Alex was never one for pretense anyways, a lot of people didn’t move, they just sat back and watched, sure they felt a little threatened, but many of them were able to see through Alex’s cultivation base at a glance, they felt like he wasn’t a threat.
The white mask on his face faded away, this was one of the blank masks in the mantle, but it was powerless so he could just she for a disguise. Louis and Cross maintained their identities, as Alex walked down the steps until he was standing in front of the board of directors. He moved around them a bit, an air of power and command emanating from his body, there was an aura of royalty so thick and so strong it shocked everyone that was watching. The Wraiths were circling above his head, and frankly speaking the Aenz group were terrified.
“First of all let me make something clear, the mini reactor is indeed capable of absorbing and dispersing spirit energy from the air before delivering it through a professor that coverts the energy into Qi and Mana. However spirit energy can not be guided like Qi or Mana , mad as such only someone capable of using the energy extensively, not just in skills and techniques, but to actually control the flow of the spirit energy can fly that airship.
You might have been able to fly it here, but I’m sure all you’ve done so far is run simulations, attempt to go at top speed, use it’s weapons at full power, or many of it’s other facilities and you will blow yourself and half of Sydney sky high. There’s a reason why that Airship is a prototype and why I was happy to accept it when it was offered to me, I’m the only one in all of existence that can fly it. And even worse is the consciousness you’re all so hyped about.
It’s born from my spirit energy, it still forming, but the moment it’s completely awake it will come find me, and considering it’s body is the ship itself it would bring that ship running to me. Or I could just be really pissed and blow the damn thing sky high and laugh with a bottle of wine in my hand while I watch the fiery blaze fall to the earth. And then I’ll dance on your Graves and then take a piss over all of your corpses!”
*bo-booom!*
Thunder crackled in the background, adding more severity to his words, Alex sat down on the podium where the entire auction had been carried out and brought out (Nameless) the entire body of the silver spear gleamed in a cold manner as he rested his head on it. He looked up at the rest of the people who had come for the auction, then he smiled as he said to them.
“The Divine Empress Morgana would not be belonging to any one of you today, frankly speaking if I don’t get what I came for I’ll destroy it before I leave. But beyond that blood will be spilt here today, I am Childe Spirit Wind, not some snot nosed brat that could be led by the nose by a bunch of corporate hacks. So people of the Aenz automobile industry, choose who amongst you that will die today.”
Alex wasn’t scared about the repercussions, this story will spread and they would know he was defending his honor. By this point it was already common knowledge that Childe Spirit Wind was not the kind of person you messed with, he would send his ghosts to haunt you, and unfortunately for these guys, they did just mess with him.
