The Trickster King

Chapter 482 Survivors

The two policemen looked helplessly at the still-shaken Secretary Fan, "Are rich people usually this short-tempered? They get angry at the slightest provocation."

Xiao Xun sat there, analyzing. His initial feeling was that it was an airflow issue, as the plane had no obvious vibrations or unusual noises. But if it was just airflow, how could it cause a crash?

While he was lost in thought, Cui Zhihao called again, "Perhaps you shouldn't come. Just tell me what you need, and I'll handle it for you."

"Wouldn't that be... inappropriate?"

The person on the other end jokingly replied, "Are you, such a big boss, personally coming to acquire our Jingji Group!"

"You really know how to joke. Which company could acquire you? You're more likely to acquire others. Actually, it's nothing else. My group company has a subsidiary entertainment company that's recently caused some trouble. It was sued by an entertainment company in your H-country, saying we plagiarized their program. I'm going there to discuss this matter."

The other party was clearly surprised, "Just that?"

"After all, the public opinion is not good!"

"Which entertainment company?"

"Please wait a moment! Let me check..."

Xiao Xun switched his phone to the main interface and tapped on entertainment news. The top trending topic had quickly dropped but was still visible.

"It's Huaixi Entertainment Company."

Cui Zhihao said very casually, "I'll help you with this. What outcome do you want?"

"My original intention was to acquire them. If that's not possible, then I'll buy the copyright. Whichever is more convenient."

"For Huaixi, an acquisition is probably not feasible. Then I'll have them go directly to you to discuss the copyright. How about that?"

Xiao Xun was overjoyed, "You mean have them come directly to me?"

"Yes! As such a big CEO, it's too undignified for you to personally approach an entertainment company to discuss these matters. If they go to you, they'll definitely prefer to discuss long-term cooperation with a big boss like you. After all, it's mutually beneficial."

"That's really too much for you. Don't overwork yourself. When I come to find you, don't just fob me off with grilled meat."

After speaking, both of them laughed.

At this moment, Secretary Fan also walked over, "I've already made arrangements with the airport. We don't need to buy new tickets; they've allowed us to take the next flight directly."

Xiao Xun's smiling face instantly drooped, "I'm not going. I'm going home."

Secretary Fan was stunned, "Alright, don't be childish. Don't we have important matters to attend to in H-country?"

"What important matters? As such a big boss, I have to personally travel to that place just to discuss trivial matters?"

"Mr. Xiao, this is not the time to throw a tantrum. These are not trivial matters. Because of this incident, it has already affected the company's stock price. Lawsuits are a small matter; we can afford to fight them for years. But if our reputation is damaged, it won't be so easy to resolve."

Seeing Secretary Fan's serious expression, Xiao Xun chuckled, "You're too serious. Go and cancel the tickets! Cancel them if you can, and if not, we won't bother."

"What about H-country then?"

Xiao Xun turned to look at Secretary Fan, "As I said, I'm the boss of a big company. Let them come to me to discuss it."

"You might as well be the Jade Emperor, but you're still in the wrong here! Why are you making them come to you?"

Xiao Xun twisted proudly, hands on his hips, and said, "What can I say? I have the strength."

After Xiao Xun finished dealing with his current affairs and returned home, Mu Jiahe was having dinner.

Qin Shuangxue had not yet started school and was cleaning the house.

Xiao Xun took off his jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and sat at the dining table, "The early bird doesn't always catch the worm; timing is everything."

Mu Jiahe glanced at Xiao Xun and said nothing.

Sister Mei served Xiao Xun a bowl of rice and then turned to continue her work in the kitchen.

He picked up his rice and asked Mu Jiahe, "Did you see the news?"

"Which news are you referring to?"

"The ones on the trending news."

"No."

Xiao Xun said "oh" and continued eating. However, his intuition told him that Mu Jiahe had seen it. Otherwise, why wouldn't she ask him why he didn't go to H-country, since he had reported it to her?

After dinner, he returned to the bedroom, and Mu Jiahe indeed brought up the matter, "Did you use a space ring to teleport back?"

"You knew..."

"How could I not know? It's all over the headlines."

Xiao Xun nodded, "Indeed, the plane had an accident. I couldn't save everyone on the plane, so I could only escape myself first."

"The people who want to kill you are too insane to involve everyone on the plane."

"It's not necessarily someone wanting to kill me. It might just be a plane malfunction!"

Mu Jiahe shook her head and said nothing more.

After returning to the other world, Xiao Xun made an excuse and left. He first went to the Temple of Time.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Ke told Xiao Xun something that made him happy: a package had arrived.

Xiao Xun turned on the package receiving switch. There were over a dozen packages. "If these are all equipment, then I'll be armed to the teeth."

He opened the longest one, which was a red, detachable sniper rifle. Xiao Xun found it quite heavy to hold, weighing over seventy catties. It was entirely red, with the words "Piercing Halberd" written in universal script.

Xiao Xun shouldered it and looked through the scope, marveling at the technological power of the future.

Besides this sniper rifle, the remaining weapons included a Thunder Rifle, a Dispersal Mangler pistol, Plasma Grenades, and a cluster laser cannon that looked like an Ultimate Liberator, weighing over a hundred catties.

The equipment included the latest nanoweave body suit. Xiao Xun put it on according to the instructions. It was quite loose and inconvenient to walk in, but when he pressed the switch on his wrist, it could instantly shrink to fit his body shape without any tightness. It was also breathable, feeling like he was wearing nothing.

Moreover, after putting on the body suit, he could easily pick up the sniper rifle and laser cannon. He gave them a slight shake, and they felt as light as plastic toys.

He also had a mask and the latest model of goggles, which allowed him to breathe freely underwater. The goggles provided visibility of over thirty meters in the deep sea.

There were still seven or eight small packages unopened, all containing weapons and equipment that future agents might use. He felt they were of little use and put them aside for the time being.

He went to the computer and, following the instructions, searched for these items online. They all had detailed descriptions and were classic weapons from thirty years ago. Xiao Xun was dumbfounded. It turned out these were not the latest weapons. Later, he found out that the latest weapons were not allowed for private purchase, and even ordinary armies could not equip them. They were incredibly powerful mass destruction weapons. Not to mention other things, one hand grenade could create a spacetime-collapsing black hole, sucking in all people and objects in front of it, and there was no way to resist it. These were truly dimension-reducing weapons.

What Xiao Xun considered treasures could be considered antiques. He shook his head helplessly, put on his jacket, took a few grenades and the Dispersal Mangler pistol, and walked out of the Temple of Time.

Using the space ring, he teleported to the Orc military camp. All the orcs here were on high alert. They were startled by his sudden appearance and immediately swarmed him.

Seeing this, Xiao Xun quickly shouted, "I am Swain! I'm here to see General Bo Tu."
