Chapter 530: I will not harm the both of you, really!
Translator: CKtalon Editor: - -
Tyger Li shook his head and said, "I will not harm the both of you. After all, you are my former wife. However, you stand in the way of things. I wish for you to leave for a moment."
Mu Lengxi looked up in disbelief. She saw the seven 'fierce-looking' soldiers and felt a chill in her heart. She never expected her father to be such a hypocrite. Not only did he try to force her to down banned drugs, he was even planning on applying force on Mu Zhaorong. Yet, he could shamelessly say the words 'will not harm the both of you'?
Mu Zhaorong took a step forward and said with a sneer, "Tyger Li, you can try and use force on me. Even if your Li family is powerful, it will not be that simple. You can destroy the evidence of using the truth serum, but you can't prevent me from 'racketeering'. If you dare get these dumbasses to touch me even once, I will make this matter known to the entire world. When the time comes, the Mu family will rescind all funding and cooperate with your greatest political foes. Together with the pressure from the people, how much longer do you think you can hold your position as premier? You are probably accustomed to bullying others with your position but you can't touch me!"
Mu Zhaorong was the queen of the business world. She had no lack of enemies but she had many allies. If she were to be in trouble, the entire business world would stir. She possessed such abilities.
Tyger Li naturally knew this point. He could not ignore Mu Zhaorong's 'threat'.
However, he always used all kinds of means to reach his goals.
Tyger Li's eyes were slightly squinted as he turned to point to the seven soldiers behind him and said, "These seven soldiers are a squad of the 'Seven Wolfskins'. They are all at the Psionic Might Realm and are proficient at using formations to augment Soul Suppression. If they were to use Soul Suppression at the same time, even warriors at the Psionic Might Realm would not be able to withstand it. As for you, who are only at the Psionic Soul Realm, you would have to use all your strength just to move a finger. I will not harm you, nor will I force you to leave. But in the next few minutes, I will make you immobile."
Mu Zhaorong was alarmed. The augmented formation of Soul Suppression was not a simple case of additive strength. Instead, it was compounded by Psionic Might. If seven warriors at the Psionic Might Realm were to use an augmenting formation to use Soul Suppression simultaneously, as a person at the Psionic Soul Realm that had abandoned her cultivation for business, she would truly not be able to raise a finger.
However, she could not compromise!
Mu Zhaorong said coldly, "You can try. However, if you dare to use Soul Suppression on me, I will vomit blood and be seriously injured. I'll be hospitalized and I'll send my medical report to the martial courts."
Mu Zhaorong's act of 'racketeering' made the expressions of the seven soldiers change drastically. They began breaking out into a cold sweat.
Mu Lengxi was also stunned. She forcefully shook her head and had a worried expression on her face. How could she let her mother suffer such pain and humiliation?
Tyger Li's expression did not change as he said in a deadpan manner, "Then, go ahead. But I forgot to tell you. The 'Seven Wolfskins' are special secret agents. They do not have any particulars and they have nothing to do with me."
Just as Tyger Li finished speaking, the soldier standing at the first spot instantly said loudly, "We, the Seven Wolfskins, have taken the liberties to do everything. It has nothing to do with Premier Li!"
Mu Zhaorong's expression changed drastically as she said in an incensed manner, "You are shameless!"
Tyger Li said calmly, "The cooperation between the Li and Mu family involves the interests of both families. You are indeed in control of the Mu Corporation but if you intend to pull out funding, there is no way the motion can pass the board of directors. Even if you were to be killed, it is the fault of the killers and it has nothing to do with me. It will not affect my political standing. Mu Zhaorong, you can't threaten me."
Mu Zhaorong felt as though she was struck by lightning as the color seemed to drain from her face.
Tyger Li was not only willing to be unscrupulous in his efforts, he was also extremely scheming and meticulous in his planning. He had considered everything from the beginning.
Before coming, he had already set up a plan—if Mu Lengxi did not point out a murderer he could seek revenge against or give him a satisfactory answer, he would force her to drink a truth serum.
If Mu Zhaorong objected to it, he would summon the 'Seven Wolfskins' he had specially brought along.
Tyger Li had foreseen everything and he had not made any lapses.
Mu Zhaorong was regretting in her heart. After hearing of Speechless's demise, she had rushed here without bringing any bodyguards. She never expected to encounter any danger in her son's residence, so the dangerous situation she was facing caught her off guard.
If this went on, she would not be able to protect her daughter.
There was a saying that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs but Tyger Li would eat anyone except himself. He would even eat them clean without even spitting out any bones!
Mu Zhaorong's mind began racing. Obviously, she could not compromise. She had to think of a way to resolve the situation.
However, Tyger Li did not give her the luxury of time. He squinted his eyes and turned his head to the seven soldiers. He said softly, "Be careful. Do not harm them."
With that said, Mu Lengxi and Mu Zhaorong's expressions changed drastically as Mu Zhaorong roared angrily, "Stop!"
Mu Lengxi took a step forward in a bid to protect her mother.
However, everything had happened too quickly.
Or it could be said that the seven soldiers were extremely efficient. They had instantly formed an augmentation formation and began releasing a terrifying Soul Suppression.
Soul Suppression was the mark of entering the Psionic Might Realm from the Psionic Soul Realm. Through one's aura, mental powers, and will, one could cause a suppressive pressure on the enemy's mind. It could even be considered a form of 'illusionary magic' but it was more unadulterated than illusionary magic. There was no need for any additional conjuration as simply using one's will was sufficient to exert pressure on the enemy.
The Psionic Might Realm was the first ravine in the psionic cultivation system. The Psionic Mortal Realm and the Psionic Soul Realm was only a difference of quantity but the difference from the Psionic Might Realm was that of quality.
Using Soul Suppression at the Psionic Might Realm on a someone at the Psionic Soul Realm meant that unless one had 'resistance training' or astounding willpower, one would definitely have some form of retardation in one's movements. It was a fatal weakening in battle.
Just a single Psionic Might Realm warrior could leave their opponent's actions retarded. With seven Psionic Might Realm warriors using an augmentation formation, the Soul Suppression they produced was much stronger than seven times that of simple Soul Suppression. What sort of concept was that?
Mu Lengxi and Mu Zhaorong only felt as though the sky had collapsed on them. It felt like a mountain was pressing down on them as if their limbs were shackled. Even their eyes, nose, mouth and ears seemed to be drowning under a sea of water!
They could not move. It was as if their bodies no longer belonged to them!
Tyger Li remained expressionless as he took out another bottle of white viscous liquid. He slowly walked toward the duo that seemed fixed in place.
Mu Zhaorong was extremely worried and incensed. Her desire to protect her daughter reached an extreme level and her thoughts of resistance reached an amazing state!
The power of maternal love could not repress anyone!
"You! Dream! On!"
Mu Zhaorong roared as she withstood the augmented suppression from the Seven Wolfskins. Clenching her fists, she smashed it at Tyger Li with a boom. Intense flames lit up around her fist like fireworks. The punch was sent straight at Tyger Li's face!
Tyger Li's eyes were squinted slightly as he turned a deaf ear. He even took the initiative to move toward Mu Zhaorong's fist!
The seven soldiers were also given a fright. The youngest soldier ranked seventh panicked the most. In his panic, he forgot Tyger Li's words of 'do not harm them'. He had suddenly raised his Soul Suppression to its fullest!
The balance of the augmentation formation was lost as the Soul Suppression reached another new height. It was a level used against enemies!
Pu!
Mu Zhaorong had struck out a punch while withstanding the suppression but her punch was easily swatted away by Tyger Li. Instantly, she spewed out a mouthful of blood.
She had been crying from noon to late at night. As such, she was already feeling frail both physically and mentally. Having suffered internal injuries, her eyes immediately rolled back as she fainted.
"Stop!"
Tyger Li hurriedly roared in anger.
The Seven Wolfskins jumped in fright as well as they hurriedly halted Soul Suppression.
"Who was it!?"
Tyger Li turned to look at the seven soldiers. His eyes were cruel and tyrannical. His expression was terrifyingly grim.
The seven soldiers lowered their heads in fright. The youngest soldier ranked seven was trembling as he could not help but feel terrified.
Their mission was to trap Mu Zhaorong but not only was she now seriously injured, she had fainted. That was the Queen of the Mu family. Someone had to pay the price!
And most terrifying of all, just as Mu Zhaorong had said, Tyger Li had a depraved sense of possessiveness. Even if she was his former wife, he still treated her as one of his. He was the only one that could harm her, not anyone else.
Tyger Li's eyes made the soldier feel like he could be killed the next second.
With Soul Suppression removed, Mu Lengxi extricated herself from the pressure. She immediately crouched down and hugged her unconscious mother. She did her best to use 'healing magic' on her.
This silver-haired girl that seemed weak was, in fact, a resolute and stubborn person. She widened her eyes to prevent herself from crying as she bit her lips to prevent herself from screaming.
Tyger Li turned to glance at Mu Lengxi and said with a sigh, "Drink it. You are my daughter. Even if you cover up for a murderer, I will not harm you. So, don't be afraid and drink it."
Tyger Li's voice sounded somewhat enervated.
This was the first time he said words such as 'you are my daughter' that night.
However, Mu Lengxi only slowly looked up. Her eyes were filled with indignation and fury.
She absolutely could not acknowledge such a father.
She was also absolutely against drinking the truth serum because the cold and ruthless tiger that acted unscrupulously would definitely use the most horrible techniques on Shi Xiaobai.
Mu Lengxi clenched her fists tightly.
She wanted to fight!
She had to fight from the very beginning!
But it was still not too late, she could still fight.
She needed to fight!
Tyger Li looked at Mu Lengxi's gaze and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Gradually, his expression turned cold.
He slowly lifted his hand.
Creak!
Suddenly, the door to the hall was once again 'impolitely' pushed open!
"Who's there?"
Tyger Li turned his head coldly. The seven soldiers that were blocking the door also turned their heads.
They saw a boy that looked travel-worn.
Mu Lengxi was kneeling on the ground and her vision was blocked by the soldiers. She did not know who had come.
However, the moment the boy spoke, it immediately made her burst out in tears.
"Sorry for disturbing. This King is here to look for Speechless Li."
That was what the boy said.
