Chapter 371 Security and Decommissioning
After a long rest, Zhuo Yanran also came in the evening. After seeing Zhao Zangming, he was naturally scolded, but he was still very happy to see that his son was safe and sound.
The two siblings have already talked and decided not to tell their mother the truth to avoid unnecessary worries.
after dinner.
Zhao Zangming suddenly said: "Mom, I still want to enter the star realm."
"Why don't you give up?" Zhuo Yanran immediately disagreed, but obviously not as determined as before.
"When my brother-in-law found me in Olympia, he said that you were worried, so I came back to tell you." Zhao Zangming's face was serious, "I am already an adult, and I don't want to be a waste on earth all my life. My sister also support me."
Zhuo Yanran looked at her daughter.
Zhao Manying nodded, "Zang Ming's strength is enough. Many aliens enter the star realm just after reaching the intermediate level."
This was decided upon by the three of them after discussion.
Shi Hongyi's side probably doesn't know that Zhao Zangming has escaped from trouble, and the two sides cannot completely break up for the time being. It is a good way to let Zhao Zangming escape in the astral realm and grow at the same time.
"When my brother-in-law entered the star realm, he was just a junior alien." Zhao Zangming saw that his mother was a little moved and continued to persuade him.
“Can you compare with Starfire?”
Zhuo Yanran glanced at Ji Xinghuo and asked, "Xinghuo, do you think it's appropriate to enter the star realm anonymously?"
"Of course there is no problem." Ji Xinghuo replied, "Zang Ming will not be alone. I am going to call a few friends, all experienced and powerful strangers, to form a team and lead Zang Ming."
"Even Xinghuo said that, then I'll be relieved." Zhuo Yanran knew that he couldn't stop it, and sighed: "Then you go ahead."
Zhao Zangming was overjoyed.
Zhao Manying added: "Mom, I am ready to retire from the league and focus on becoming a legend. I will move here to live with you."
“Live with me?” Zhuo Yanran’s expression was startled.
My daughter has been living independently since she became an adult. Now she has a boyfriend. Even if she retires, how can she live with her again?
Although she was very happy, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.
So many things happened in the past two days, as well as what was said on the news, that Zhuo Yanran always felt that his children were hiding something from him.
She asked strangely: "You live with Ji Xinghuo, what about Xinghuo?" She knew that her daughter was living with Ji Xinghuo.
"Auntie, I will enter the star realm again soon." Ji Xinghuo explained.
Zhao Manying moved to Zhuo Yanran's house, naturally to protect her mother, but she couldn't be with her all the time and had to go to the Ether Research Institute. Therefore, Ji Xinghuo planned to hire bodyguards. In addition to protecting Zhuo Yanran, he also had to protect his family. stand up.
Zhuo Yanran frowned and said, "You are hiding something from me."
As the boss of a clothing plaza company with dozens of employees, she is certainly not that easy to hide.
Zhao Manying and Ji Xinghuo looked at each other.
"Someone wants to do something bad to us..." Zhao Manying said, telling her something based on what he said before.
But there was no mention of Shi Hongyi or the real cause of her husband’s death.
They want to wait until they get revenge.
Actually, Ji Xinghuo meant that it would be best to just say it directly, but the two siblings believed that Zhuo Yanran was just an ordinary person and did not want her to be worried all day long.
He doesn’t want to interfere in other people’s family affairs.
After listening, Zhuo Yanran still had doubts, but he accepted it.
Ji Xinghuo left Zhao Manying's home alone, came to a high-end apartment a few kilometers away, and entered it.
"welcome!"
An Yitian opened the door with a smile on his face.
"Senior An." Ji Xinghuo said politely, "I'm sorry to bother you." Then he followed An Yitian into the living room.
The top two floors of this apartment building were bought by the An family brothers and sisters as their home. Neither of them were married, they were on the same level, but An Zhisu was also waiting at An Yitian's house at this time.
"I was surprised to receive your call." After sitting down, An Yitian said: "I saw you clashing with the great magician on the Internet yesterday. What happened?"
“That’s what I came here for today.”
Ji Xinghuo got straight to the point, "Shi Hongyi and I have already had a feud, the kind that will never stop until death, but we were suppressed by the head of state, and we will have to end it sooner or later."
"so serious!"
An Yitian was shocked, and An Zhisu also had a solemn expression.
“It is not convenient to disclose the specific situation at the moment.” Ji Xinghuo continued, “I am worried that Shi Hongyi will attack me and Manying’s family, so I want to hire Senior An to protect the safety of my family. The price is easy to negotiate.”
There are many reasons why he came to see the An family brothers and sisters.
First, the two are strong, ranked 24th and 25th on the legend list respectively, and are more than enough to protect their families;
Second, they have a good relationship, their background has been checked in advance, and they are trustworthy;
The third thing is that the An family brothers and sisters were originally in this business. They created a world-leading private security company with four to five hundred people under their command, many of whom were legendary and powerful, with high reputation and professionalism.
An Yitian felt a little hesitant.
Ji Xinghuo immediately noticed his worries and said, "I can understand if Senior An is worried about becoming enemies with Shi Hongyi."
“The great magician’s name is too loud.” An Yitian’s face was tangled. “He is still the richest man in the country, and his connections and influence are top-notch. Although I am a legend, I dare not go against the great magician...”
Agreeing to Ji Xinghuo's employment would be tantamount to taking sides between the two parties.
When a conflict occurs, he is Shi Hongyi’s enemy.
Although Ji Xinghuo is also very strong and will definitely have higher achievements than Shi Hongyi in the future, An Yitian really wants to have a good relationship, but this is too dangerous.
“Senior An, you are just a protective force on the surface.” Ji Xinghuo said with a smile.
An Yitian quickly asked: "Who else?"
“Head of state.”
Ji Xinghuo answered softly.
An Yitian's expression suddenly became very exciting, and An Zhisu, who had been silent next to him, couldn't help but be moved.
These two words mean too much.
"I have the support of the head of state, but there is no evidence. We cannot directly take down Shi Hongyi." Ji Xinghuo said truthfully, "This is a personal grudge after all, and the head of state cannot use state power to protect my family, but it does not affect the secret protection. "
Moreover, doing so would also make Shi Hongyi aware that the head of state was already targeting him.
“The head of state…”
An Yitian exhaled a breath, still shocked.
In the Asia-Pacific Community, the head of state is the sky. If Ji Xinghuo did not bluff, then even Shi Hongyi, the richest man and king, would not be able to escape the end of destruction.
Ji Xinghuo took out two more ultra-limited mutants and put them on the coffee table. He immediately caught their attention and said, "If Senior An agrees, these two mutants will be the deposit."
"What kind of alien species?" An Yitian asked curiously.
“Ice Hell and Blazing Sparks.”
Ji Xinghuo smiled with a smile on his face. An Yitian was the "Ice Lord". Just like the Dan man Ice Lord whom he killed on the Bloody Plateau, he needed the Thousand-legged Ice Chopper's "Ice-Free Prison" and it has remained until now.
Flame Spark is the prize of the Global Marathon, which is very consistent with An Zhisu's "Fire Madman" career.
Sure enough, both brother and sister were moved.
An Yitian picked up the ice-crystal alien species, felt the vitality in it, and said with joy: "It's really a frozen prison. I've been searching for it for so many years but I haven't come across it. Unexpectedly, it was delivered directly to me."
An Zhisu also observed the "blazing sparks", unable to conceal the satisfaction in his eyes.
Ji Xinghuo smiled.
It is difficult for any alien to reject an alien that is compatible with him or her. This greatly improves one’s strength.
This is the greatest expression of sincerity.
An Yitian thought for a long time and finally nodded: "We'll take it!" "Senior An, don't worry, I still have conditions." Ji Xinghuo said, "I need the highest level of security, in addition to a professional bodyguard team for 24-hour personal protection. , the two seniors must also be on call at all times and cannot stay away."
"This is no problem, but the price..." An Yitian was a little worried. They also needed to practice.
Ji Xinghuo said directly: "I pay with ether crystals, 500 ether crystals per year, starting in two years."
The brother and sister were both shocked.
Five hundred ether crystals are equal to 10 billion Asian dollars, which is almost the same as their net worth, but 10 billion Asian dollars cannot buy 500 ether crystals.
It took two years to acquire this wealth, as well as super-limited alien species, making a lot of money!
“We’ll sign the contract now.”
An Yitian said immediately.
The security contract was quickly drawn up and the detailed terms were agreed upon. Ji Xinghuo signed it after confirming that there were no problems.
According to Ji Xinghuo's idea, An Yitian wants to protect two families, mainly his own villa. An Yitian will lead a team of bodyguards to establish a defense system and provide personal protection for each brother and sister.
An Zhisu led another team to guard Zhao Manying's home to protect the mother and daughter, and the two sides looked after each other.
After signing, Ji Xinghuo felt relieved.
The An family brothers and sisters are very powerful, unless the King of Heaven takes action personally, but this will cause a lot of disturbance.
At home, even Shi Hongyi himself did not dare to mess around and could only do things secretly.
The head of state also sent people to keep an eye on him, which was enough to ensure the safety of his family.
An Yitian took action immediately.
Ji Xinghuo returned to his home in the Qinling Mountains. His brothers and sisters were all there. He told them about the security issues and made psychological preparations.
The whole family was frightened, but they could only accept it.
“Second brother,” Ji Xinghuo said to Zhong Ming, “Do you want to enter the star realm?”
“Me?” Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment.
"You are already a high-level alien, and your strength is strong enough. It's time to enter the star realm. The upper limit for competing aliens is still not enough. You will eventually enter the star realm. It is better to accumulate experience in advance." Ji Xinghuo said.
Mingzhong was greatly moved. In fact, he had considered it himself, "But my contract with the club..."
“Break the contract, I’ll pay liquidated damages.”
Ji Xinghuo thought about it. The club his second brother signed with was only in the second league, and the liquidated damages were more than 100 million, which was just a small sum.
Having fewer family members left on earth can also reduce some security pressure.
If the eldest sister wasn't too weak, Ji Xinghuo would have even wanted to bring her into the star realm within half a year of becoming a stranger.
"Okay!" Zhong Ming said without hesitation, "I will follow your arrangement."
Ye Dongyun and the other three were all envious.
Wang Zizhen stood up immediately, "I'm going to exercise. I'll double my training volume today!"
“I’ll go too!” Liangqiu Feiyan also said.
Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but laugh. This would stimulate the two of them to work hard, which would be good.
The next morning.
An explosive piece of news made headlines around the world, "Sword Fairy" Zhao Manying announced his retirement!
Countless people flocked to Zhao Manying's social platform and saw her posting a video telling her fans that she had no further pursuits in the Super League and had no regrets in her career. She decided to retire for the sake of a higher ideal.
Fans around the world were stunned.
Then he expressed his incomprehensibility. Although the Sword Immortal is a ten-time champion and has great honors, he is only on par with Jeffrey the Freelander, the most successful contestant in history.
As long as she wins another championship, she will be firmly in first place!
Next month, the new International Invitational Tournament will begin. Even if you retire a month later, this championship will be stable.
Moreover, she still has two years left on her contract with the club.
Many fans left messages, hoping that Zhao Manying can win another championship, and it is best to retire after the contract expires.
Some people also guessed that Zhao Manying had a conflict with the club.
However, Zhao Manying did not respond.
Half an hour after she announced her retirement, the Emperor Star Club issued an announcement stating that Zhao Manying had not discussed her retirement with the club in advance and would pursue her legal responsibilities in accordance with the terms of the contract.
This is tantamount to breaking the skin.
A minute later, Zhao Manying only replied one sentence on the social platform: I will pay liquidated damages according to the terms, please communicate with my legal team.
Suddenly, the entire Internet was stirred up, and public opinion was raging.
Most fans pointed the finger at the Emperor Star Club, but some people believed that Zhao Manying was irresponsible and betrayed the club and the audience.
Major platforms and media have published numerous reports, vying to interview the parties involved.
However, Zhao Manying refused.
She completely blocked social media and devoted herself to spiritual practice.
It wasn’t until a week later that the heat caused by Zhao Manying’s retirement gradually subsided, and most fans accepted this fact.
The bodyguard team of An Yitian brother and sister is also in place.
Time enters 2227.
After the New Year's Day holiday, Ji Xinghuo, Zhong Ming, and Zhao Zangming came to the Chaka Star Gate Fortress together.
While lining up in front of the star gate, Ji Xinghuo glanced at Zhong Ming and asked, "Second brother, are you nervous?"
"A little."
Zhong Ming put on light armor and carried his luggage. At first glance, he looked like a newcomer entering the star world for the first time. Although he had gained a lot of knowledge about star world adventures in the past few days, and Ji Xinghuo was with him, he stood at the star gate. Before, the mood was still inevitably tense.
Ji Xinghuo seemed to see himself a few years ago and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm here."
"That's right."
Zhao Zangming next to him was much more relaxed, "Brother-in-law is taking us, what are you afraid of?"
"We can't all rely on..." Zhong Ming lowered the word "Xinghuo", "He can't always be in a team with us. Sooner or later he has to learn to be independent."
Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.
In terms of mentality, the second brother is obviously more prepared.
“It’s our turn.”
The three of them entered the Star Gate, and their vision returned to normal after being distorted. They had arrived at the Star Gate Square in Olympia. It was night in the star world, and when they looked up, they could see the sky full of stars and the brilliant reflection of the Milky Way.
Zhong Ming looked at the starry sky, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Come with me."
Ji Xinghuo noticed the eyes in the dark. There were foreign kings, legendary strongmen, and the "champion" Huo Keji.
He did not say hello to Huo Keji, but left the square with the two of them.
All the way to the villa on Qinghao Street, four people had already arrived. Jiangnan Caiyi opened the door and said in surprise: "Xinghuo Lord is here!"
“Caiyi.”
Ji Xinghuo entered the living room and saw three other people.
Chi Zhonglin, Lu Yunhai and Zhuo Ligetu.
It was Ji Xinghuo's idea to form the hunting team this time, and they are all his family and friends. However, he will not stay too long. He will take his second brother and Zangming with him for a while first, and then he will leave after they become familiar with the star world.
