Chapter 1532 He
s Close to Falling Apart!
PATTER!
With a crisp sound, the cell phone in Xia Luoqing’s hands slipped and fell to the ground.
He had finished listening to the call, and, although only a single line had been said over the phone, he couldn’t think of a single response. His face had gone ghostly white as all the color had drained from his face. He had been overcome by fear.
There’d been only one line that had been conveyed in the phone call:
The Xia family has fallen. Run for your life, as quickly as you can!
Xia Luoqing was very familiar with this cell phone number: it belonged to his father. This had been the first time he’d ever heard his father’s voice filled with such trepidation. It had been an utterly unbelievable experience.
The two men in suits who worked for the Xia family raised their heads toward Xu Que at nearly the same time. They were struck with both fear and astonishment.
This young man had actually successfully brought down the Xia family. In a span of only ten minutes, the Xia family and its behemoth-like corporation had collapsed just like that.
This was too terrifying!
Does this fella really know the art of prophecy?
Dmn it, how can we accept this? With a single word, he can destroy the entire world?
Eh? That was so punctual? I was certain that it was going to be delayed for at least a few minutes.
Xu Que’s despicable comment rang out, followed by ghastly laughter.
He fixed his gaze intently on Xia Luoqing, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit of emotion, not even the pleasure typically felt after an act of revenge.
After all, he had already personally taken revenge on this old rival of his, Xia Luoqing, a long time ago. Presently, in this memory world they were in, Xia Luoqing wasn’t really even his enemy anymore.
Now he had made Xia Luoqing and the Xia family his victims, but except for the fact that Xia Luoqing had really courted death of his own accord, Xu Que’s motivation for doing all these things he had done today was really only to gain Acting Tough Points for himself.
At this time, the countless viewers of the live-stream had also been stunned.
This can’t possibly be true, can it?
Is this true or false?
The Xia family is gone just like that?
This must be fake. He just picked up a call. It can’t mean anything.
Fck! Quick, look at the news, guys. Something has really happened.
The major media corporations have already published press releases online.
Holy crp! I looked it up, and it’s indeed true! Xu Que’s level of efficiency is way too high.
This piece of news has even topped the popularity charts on Weibo.
Horrifying!
What the fck. There’s even a writer on Weibo who’s called Lord of the Commoners, who is seeking attention by claiming that he’s the one who brought the Xia family down.
…..
Bullet comments flew across the screen line after line, and a simplified wire copy of the copious news was soon released. The gist of the wire copy was that the Xia Enterprise’s stock price had declined dramatically in just ten minutes on the stock market, and the CEO had declared the company bankrupt and about to be liquidated. Even some officials belonging to the Xia family had resigned.
All these big pieces of news came out one after another at this moment.
The countless viewers watching the live-stream on the Internet were stunned and found all of this hard to believe.
Xu Que’s art of prophecy was capable of making one’s toes curl. What a jinx!
Mr. Xu, there’s a call for you.
Just then, Boss Lin stepped forward and handed her cell phone to Xu Que, her eyes filled with awe and astonishment.
Previously, when Xu Que had made that important phone call in front of her, she had already gotten some clues from the conversation about who the person was that Xu Que had shared the conversation with on the other end of the line. There were four big clans in the capital, and Xu Que had actually encouraged the person on the other end of the line to form an alliance with the other two clans to carry out a sneak attack on the Xia family.
These four big clans all had the goods on one another. While they did not have the power to kill one another, they were capable of inflicting great damage on one another.
This explains why the four big clans had kept each other in check all this while, with not one clan daring to make a move on another. After all, this would’ve been a lose-lose situation, which wouldn’t have been worth it for any of them.
However, Xu Que had encouraged three of these big clans to form an alliance. While a single clan was incapable of snuffing out the Xia family, the same could not be said if three clans worked together against the Xia family. The end of the Xia family was certainly a possibility.
Furthermore, it only took ten minutes for this sneak attack to be completed.
Hello.
Xu Que took Boss Lin’s phone from her hands with a smile on his face.
Young man, this matter has been settled. It’s your turn to fulfill your promise, isn’t it?
An old, somber voice was on the other end of the line.
This was one of the moguls of the four big clans, as well as the important figure behind Boss Lin.
He was now speaking to Xu Que on behalf of these three big clans who had joined together to destroy the Xia family. They had successfully joined forces to deal with the Xia family and had even done so in a clear-cut manner, defeating the Xia family to the point of no return. Now, he needed Xu Que to keep his end of the bargain.
This promise was also the reason why these three big clans had chosen to join forces against the Xia family without any hesitation.
Xu Que had to contribute one medicinal item, as well as one pill recipe. The Diamond Energy Pill was the item that Xu Que had promised to give the three big clans.
His various acts of demonstrating his strength, including wrenching an elevator in one of his live-streams, were simply his ways of showing the three big clans that his immense strength had stemmed from the Diamond Energy Pill, which could increase one’s bodily strength by 100 times.
In normal times, such an absurd claim wouldn’t have been bought by anyone.
But Boss Lin was the trusted subordinate of that mogul, and, additionally, Xu Que had indeed displayed his corresponding strength. Hence, the possibility of this being a sham was low, and the three big clans had been sorely tempted.
Even if the Xia family had made one final attack in retaliation before its death and caused certain damage after the three big clans had joined forces, this didn’t seem too much of a threat, as compared to the Diamond Energy Pill.
As soon as the’d gotten hold of the pill recipe, conducted research, and carried out mass production, the resulting effects would be hard to imagine, even if they had diluted the recipe.
This had worldwide implications for them, so the worry about receiving a counterattack from the Xia family didn’t even register.
So, just because of a verbal promise from Xu Que, the three big clans took action directly, even without a contract in place.
This courage of theirs was extraordinary. It was no wonder that they could become the biggest clans in the capital and remain in power for so many years.
But this time, they were destined to be disappointed.
If this had happened in reality, Xu Que might have given the matter some consideration or even collaborated with these three big clans, but this was merely the world of his memory.
He was simply fooling around. Even if things did get out of hand, he would just have to accumulate more Acting Tough Points and flee without caring about the consequences.
This explains why he wasn’t flustered at all. This time, he was going to deceive not just the Xia family, but also the other three big clans. Anyway, these four big clans had done their fair share of dirty deeds, so deceiving them could be deemed a national contribution.
Don’t worry, Old Zhao. You can ask around. I, Xu Que, am a man of my word. Tonight at 8 o’ clock, I will hand the pill and the recipe for it to you. Be there or be square.
Xu Que laughed into the phone.
Upon hearing this, Xia Luoqing and the other members of the Xia family felt a tremor in their hearts.
Old Zhao?
Dmn it, this was indeed an act of the Zhao family. And the two other families had been involved, otherwise, the Xia family wouldn’t have fallen so quickly.
I nearly believed this darned art of prophecy.
How despicable. Have these three big clans gone mad? Aren’t they afraid of being hurt along with us?
Xia Luoqing was enraged, and his eyes glowed with anger.
He balled his hands into fists and glared at the men in suits standing nearby, saying in a deep voice,
Let’s retreat! Take me to the airport first. In five years or less, I’ll make sure the Zhao family and the other two families regret this.
Upon finishing his words, he began to take his leave.
Since the Xia family had already fallen and his father had even called him personally to tell him to leave, there was no longer any point in staying. It made more sense to keep himself alive first.
Hey, wait! Quick, stop Young Master Xia from leaving.
Xu Que ended the call and exclaimed all of a sudden.
With a wave of Boss Lin’s hand, a few men immediately ran toward Young Master Xia and blocked his way.
Xia Luoqing was stunned.
At the same time, Xu Que held the phone that was still live-streaming and pointed it directly toward Xia Luoqing, saying cheerily,
Look, everyone. Sure enough, Young Master Xia couldn’t stand the blow, and he’s even starting to be delirious. Based on my 50 years of clinical experience, he’s going to have a mental breakdown in no time at all.
Upon hearing this, Xia Luoqing almost vomited blood.
Come on! In what way am I in a trance now? I’m clearly very energetic, very calm, and especially rational, okay?
