Chapter 1158: Whoever wins, you help!
"Click!!"
Hansel dug two big holes in the wooden round table!
Fireball on the other side saw this, without any ripples on his expression. He simply shifted his gaze away from Hansel's face and looked casually at the broken part of the table.
Watching the countless crayon lines appearing out of thin air at the hole, he caught the flying sawdust one by one and restored it.
When the table returned to normal, he raised his eyes again and looked at Hansel opposite him.
At this time, Hansel had taken off his elegant suit and put on the tattered clothes he wore when he first met Lu Li.
The monocle on his left eye also disappeared, and his clean face was once again covered with gray and black marks, making him look like a destitute beggar.
The dead silence in the box lasted for a long time, and finally Hansel murmured, breaking the silence:
"Why would the 'King' leave that piece of history in the Secret Realm of Job Transfer? He shouldn't have let you know this..."
"He clearly knew that my 'fraud' would be most vulnerable to being exposed, so why did He do this? Why!?"
Huoqiu Li still showed no emotion. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and replied casually:
"Maybe He just treats you as a chess piece and will throw you away after using you."
"The King will not abandon me!!" Hansel's depressed mood suddenly became excited and he shouted loudly:
"'Fraud' is the best helper of 'fear' and 'revenge'. After the 'king' regains his former glory, he will definitely use me again. There is no reason for him to abandon me!!"
“I will wait for Him here, waiting for Him to come!!”
"Don't even think about shaking my loyalty to the King!"
"No one can shake your loyalty except yourself." Fireball Li said nonchalantly:
"But considering that there is still a possibility of cooperation between you and me in the future, I will make it clear today."
"Of me and your 'king', only one can survive in the end."
"If your king wins, all is as you wish, and he will reward you for your loyalty."
"But if your king loses, and his power belongs to me, guess how I will treat you, a 'loyal minister of the former dynasty'?"
Hansel wanted to speak, but Huoqiuli raised his hand again to stop him:
"Let me finish."
"I don't care about your current attitude, nor do I care what kind of ingenious plan your king has laid out."
"I don't even care whether it's me or your king who wins in the future."
"The purpose of my coming here today is to give you one more chance."
"You don't have to make a decision right away, because timely assessment of the situation is the best way to minimize risk."
"Assess the situation? Minimize the risk?" Hansel snorted coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly:
"Are you hinting to me that you will defeat my king in the near future?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood." Huoqiuli leaned back again and leaned back leisurely on the chair:
"I am suggesting that you change your mindset and maximize your own interests."
"You help whoever wins."
"I'll help whoever wins." Hansel was stunned and blurted out subconsciously:
"Isn't this a fence-sitter?"
"Don't describe yourself so badly." Huoqiu Li laughed:
"This is called a man who knows the times is a hero."
"Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion. The final choice is still up to you."
"In addition." The young man paused for a moment and glanced at Hansel's ragged clothes.
"Now I am still the owner of the casino, your boss, Hansel."
"So I order you to change these tattered clothes and dress in something smarter."
"Otherwise, if it affects the casino business, that would not be good."
Hansel looked gloomy and said nothing.
But when Huoqiuli got up and left the box, he changed into an elegant suit again.
The monocle on his left eye sparkled as if it had just been polished.
He stood up from the round table and bowed in the direction where the fireball disappeared with a pious attitude.
No matter if the other person has already left,
Just keep bending over until it lasts long enough.
When Hansel stood up, he still did not leave the box. Instead, he stood there quietly, chewing on the advice that Fireball had just given him:
"I'll help whoever wins..."
……
into the night,
When the warm lights in the central shelter of Yongcheng lit up again, Master Fireball Li, who had been busy all day, finally returned to the hub.
Dao Bili and others had been waiting for a long time and were now sitting around a not-so-big dining table, waiting quietly.
There was a big pot on the table, and the liquid inside was constantly rolling and boiling under the high temperature of the Yuanjing flame.
The pot was filled with freshly wrapped dumplings, and it looked like they were going to wait until everyone was gathered before cooking them.
Huoqiuli walked forward on his own, pulled out an empty seat and sat down.
He stared at the plate of strange-looking dumplings in front of him for a while, then smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Why don't you let someone who knows how to wrap it do it? Why force yourself?"
Armor Li chuckled and took the lead in answering:
“As for dumplings, apart from the ones made by my mom, the ones I make myself are the most delicious.”
"Don't be disgusted, we have spent the whole afternoon on this and have wasted our energy."
"He dislikes nothing." Ran Jingli curled her lips and took over the conversation:
"What we packed is equivalent to what he packed. I haven't complained about him not putting in any effort..."
"Now that everyone is here, I'll put the dumplings in the pot." Daobi Li stood up, took the dumplings in front of Huoqiu Li, and poured them into the boiling water:
“Cook and eat at the same time.”
Scout Li crossed his ten fingers, held them in front of him, and squinted his eyes to look at Fireball Li for a long while.
After Dao Bili sat down again, he spoke:
"Have you cancelled all the slave contracts?"
Huoqiuli nodded, exhaled lightly and said:
“Yes, but not all.”
Lightning Li, who still had a bandage on his head, couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately said with some complaints:
"Can't we discuss such a big thing in advance?"
"Do you know how badly Lin Qinyue abused me?"
Huoqiu Li curled his lips and said indifferently:
"You're exaggerating..."
"It's true that I lost a lot of fun, but it's okay. I found it again through you."
Lightning was speechless for a while.
But in the end, he didn't get angry, he just complained without any good mood:
"You are the only one who can find fun in yourself..."
"Alright." Detective Li spoke again:
"Doesn't Fireball Li have information about Eternal Night to share? Let's talk about business first. We can talk about the rest of the small talk later."
Upon hearing this, the other Lu Lis all looked at Fireball Li and expressed their agreement with silence.
Fireball Li didn't keep anyone in suspense.
After setting up a simple barrier around him to prevent leaks, he directly told everyone everything he knew, as well as his plan to increase negative reviews and reduce the "faith anchor points".
