Let them offer their loyalty!

"But... last time, to show my loyalty to you, I deliberately devised a little trick."

Seeing Dai Yukang drop the pretense, Qiu Tu knew he was ready to come clean and apologize.

So, faced with Dai Yukang's frankness, Qiu Tu heavily patted his shoulder and reiterated, "Old Dai, we are old friends, there's no need for those little tricks."

"I like smart people, but I don't like those who think they're clever."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, cold sweat dripped down Dai Yukang's back.

He was also a master of reading people, so how could he not see the sharpness in Qiu Tu's gaze?

Clearly... Qiu Tu had long known about his little clever trick.

So, he couldn't even bother to smoke, and quickly bowed slightly to Qiu Tu, "Yes, Speaker."

Qiu Tu smiled, helped him up, held a cigarette in his mouth, straightened his collar, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Alright, alright, no need to be so nervous."

"Go, do what I've assigned you well. Just don't try to be clever anymore."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Dai Yukang nodded vigorously, saluted, "Yes, Speaker."

After saluting and seeing that Qiu Tu had no other instructions, Dai Yukang hurriedly left the conference room, then began to search for the whereabouts of the "Yaksha."

And after he left, Shen Lingshuang, who had been sitting at the edge of the long table recording the minutes since the meeting started, chuckled softly.

Today, she was dressed in a black uniform, looking somewhat like a secretary.

But... possibly due to her young age, her eyes and eyebrows still had traces of youthfulness, with a small oval face adorned with light eyebrows, paired with those big, watery eyes, she looked pure and lovely.

Hearing Shen Lingshuang's soft laughter, Qiu Tu, smoking, glanced at her and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Shen Lingshuang, while packing up materials, cheerfully said, "I'm laughing at Dai Yukang. He used to be a prominent figure in Xinjie City and was once your superior."

"And now... yet he's so frightened in front of you, your single word can make him break out in cold sweat."

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu didn't laugh.

He shook his head slightly, then said, "You don't understand."

"He's not afraid of me, but of this position beneath me, of the power I hold."

"This is the true thing that kills without a trace."

"If I were without power now, not someone who could control his destiny, even if it were 4th rank, 5th rank, he might not necessarily be afraid."

"After all, unless personal power can become strong enough to ignore the state, otherwise, no matter how strong personal strength is, it's hard to fight against a collective."

"This is the meaning of politics."

Qiu Tu's words were perhaps too profound, as Shen Lingshuang listened, seeming to barely understand.

Qiu Tu didn't further explain, instead, he extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said, "Alright, let's go."

"We're still very busy tonight...."

.....

Meanwhile.

After Qiu Tu finished his meeting with the high-ranking officials of New State.

Kou Yu and Princess Xi had finally learned through some channels about Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji joining forces to kill two Sixth Tier Evil Gods.

After hearing this, Kou Yu was silent for two minutes before angrily sweeping everything off the table onto the floor, flipping the table, then madly smashing the room!

However, after breaking things last time, he had "inherited" Huang Shangzong's complete iron desk and chair set, so despite his astonishing destructive power, he did not cause much damage.

Compared to him, Princess Xi was different.

When she heard from Ai Li and Yanyan that Qiu Tu had slain two Sixth Tier Evil Gods, she was completely stunned on the spot.

Sixth Tier Evil God!

In this world, is there anyone who understands Sixth Tier Evil Gods better than her?

No.

Because the person she previously shared a bed with was a Half-step Sixth Rank, who was eventually defeated by a Sixth Tier Evil God.

At the time, Princess Xi was already by King Kang's side.

She remembered after battling with that Sixth Tier Evil God, King Kang was incredibly disheartened.

Despite having Nine Stars in a row, being one step away from the Sixth Rank, and also being a "Destruction" path martial arts type Cataclysmic.

True fighting fanatic.

Yet he still couldn't beat that Evil God, almost losing his life.

This had planted an extremely deep impression in the heart of the then weak Princess Xi, who saw King Kang as the sun in the sky—Sixth Tier Evil God is not something human power can confront.

Unexpectedly, ten years passed quickly, and a genius emerged from the weak Eighth Sanctuary!

Not only did he kill two Sixth Tier Evil Gods! Moreover... one of which was the one who defeated King Kang years ago.

Thinking of this, Princess Xi couldn't help but clench her hands tightly.

She suddenly felt a bit regretful.

She thought she should have agreed to cooperate with Qiu Tu when they met in dreams last time.

Although the way of cooperation could be adjusted slightly, but... as long as the intention was confirmed, she wouldn't be so passive now....

She also understood why Qiu Tu was so confident back then, seeming to have her completely figured out.

If she were able to kill Sixth Tier Evil Gods, she would've been even more confident than Qiu Tu.....

Thinking this, Princess Xi's eyes gleamed, contemplating how to make up for lost time.

Although her previous talks with Qiu Tu fell apart, he did not tear up the "Dream Invitation Letter," leaving her a sliver of hope.

Maybe.... there's still room to negotiate with Qiu Tu?

Thinking this, Princess Xi lightly bit her lips, feeling a bit tense inside.
