Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

"Yes," Zhao Qiye said. "Think about it. Was there anything else?"

Zhao Chi shook his head. "Nothing else. Just that one conflict."

"That’s good. In the last two days, Xiao Ning has already caused trouble for a few people, all of whom had direct conflicts with the Xiao Family in the past. Your case isn’t as bad. When the time comes, just lower your head and admit you were wrong. You can do that, can’t you?"

Zhao Chi laughed. "What’s the big deal? It’s just a matter of saying a few words."

Zhao Shizhang nodded. "That’s right. Some things are just fated. If you can get past this just by lowering your head, that’s the smallest price you could pay. If Xiao Ning makes any financial demands, satisfy them as best you can. The family will back you up."

"Don’t you dare be stingy with money or anything like that," Zhao Qiye said. "Xiao Ning is with the Alien Race now. Don’t let your pride get in the way."

Zhao Chi sighed. "I understand."

The three of them spoke for a few more minutes before Zhao Shizhang said, "Alright, let’s leave it at that. Don’t keep Xiao Ning waiting too long. You two should go now."

Zhao Chi and Zhao Qiye immediately headed for the Xiao Family residence.

The Xiao Family’s residence was now surrounded by a large number of the Alien Race.

Counting the ones patrolling the village, the number of Alien Race Soldiers far exceeded two hundred.

"Fourth Uncle, have more of the Alien Race arrived in the last few days?"

"Keep your voice down. In a moment, don’t forget to call them the Holy Race. Another eight Lords and several hundred soldiers arrived yesterday. I heard the Celestial King Army we’re supposed to fight this time is a tough opponent, so they sent more reinforcements."

"Which contingent are we fighting this time?"

"I’m not sure. But they’re sending out twenty Alien Race Lords this time, so our opponent is probably much stronger than the ones we’ve fought before. Alright, enough talk. Let’s go in."

The two of them entered the main courtyard of the Xiao Family residence.

The courtyard was filled with Alien Race Soldiers, and an indescribable, foul, coppery stench hung in the air.

Although it was faint, Zhao Chi could smell it clearly. It was like the scent of a wild beast.

’Sometimes, having such a keen sense of smell is a real form of torture.’

Soon, under the watchful eyes of numerous Alien Race Soldiers, the two entered the main room.

Inside, the room was exceptionally fragrant.

Xiao Ning sat on a large sofa directly facing the door, flanked by two Alien Race Lords seated in chairs to her left and right.

One of the Lords was small in stature, but his gaze was exceptionally fierce. He was the same Alien Race Lord who had instantly killed three people in the village center that day.

The other was grinning from ear to ear, looking as if he weren’t all there.

When she saw the two of them enter, Xiao Ning said nothing, simply sizing up Zhao Chi relentlessly.

Zhao Qiye took the initiative. "Xiaoning, I came with Zhao Chi. He hasn’t dealt with people much and is very immature in how he speaks and acts. He always makes a mess of things. I was afraid he’d say the wrong thing, so I came along."

Xiao Ning nodded. "Uncle Zhao Si, I understand. Zhao Chi’s mouth really does get him into trouble. He even called me a slut before. Doesn’t he deserve a beating for that?"

Zhao Qiye was stunned.

He knew, however, that he could only play along with Xiao Ning right now.

"Yes, he does deserve to be beaten."

Xiao Ning smiled and turned her head. "Iwagaki, did you hear that?"

The small Lord beside her instantly shot forward.

Zhao Chi could only watch as the Lord charged in front of him, a hand striking out at lightning speed.

But Zhao Chi’s body couldn’t react in time.

SLAP!

Zhao Chi took the slap full on the face.

The coppery, sweet taste of blood filled his mouth.

’Definitely bleeding.’

When Zhao Chi looked again, the Alien Race Lord named Iwagaki was already back in his seat.

’So fast...’

’Faster than Qi Yue.’

’Does that mean his agility is 9?’

’Or maybe his agility isn’t that high, and he just focused all his Enhancements on Movement Speed?’

’And that slap packed a serious punch.’

’Six of my teeth are loose.’

Zhao Chi licked his lips, drawing the blood from them into his mouth and swallowing it along with the blood already there.

Zhao Qiye’s fists clenched for a moment before he forced them to relax.

Xiao Ning said, "Alright. Our past grievances are now wiped clean. How does that sound?"

Zhao Qiye immediately replied, "Of course, that’s wonderful. Xiaoning, you truly are a magnanimous person."

Xiao Ning snorted. "Magnanimous? Me? I’m just a woman who was abandoned by the Xiao Family, abandoned by Stream Village. It’s only thanks to the Holy Race taking me in that I am who I am today."

Neither Zhao Chi nor Zhao Qiye spoke.

Her words were dripping with resentment.

’It was one thing for her to resent the Xiao Family.’

’Resenting Stream Village was, arguably, understandable too.’

’But to actually be grateful to the Alien Race?’

’Had she forgotten that it was this very Alien Race that had dragged her away by force?’

Zhao Qiye put on a placating smile. "Right, right. Thanks to the Holy Race, you’ve found a good home for yourself, Xiaoning."

He was simply trying to go along with what she was saying.

But Xiao Ning was extremely displeased. "Uncle Zhao Si, you said Zhao Chi doesn’t know how to talk? From where I’m sitting, you old coot don’t seem to know how to talk either! Get out!"

Zhao Qiye’s brow furrowed slightly. He couldn’t understand what he had said wrong.

Xiao Ning lowered her voice. "What? Didn’t you hear me?"

Zhao Chi said, "Fourth Uncle, it’s fine. Xiao Ning already said our past grievances are wiped clean. Don’t worry about me."

Zhao Qiye sighed. "Alright. But don’t be impulsive. Financial losses can be recovered."

"Mm, I know."

Zhao Qiye glanced at Zhao Chi, then at Xiao Ning, before walking out.

Xiao Ning smiled. "Zhao Chi, I didn’t call you here to dredge up the past. It only came to mind because your Fourth Uncle brought it up. You don’t blame me, do you?"

"How could I?" Zhao Chi’s voice was slurred. His left cheek was already swollen and throbbing with pain.

Xiao Ning nodded. "Good. The main reason I called you here is to ask about the day of the competition. How were you the only one who escaped? What about the others? Where did they all go? Tell me everything you know."
