Chapter 650 Do you need our help?
In dealing with such matters, they often entrust the task to their lawyers, waging a protracted legal battle to send the person who dared to assault them to prison.
In extreme cases, they might hire someone to teach this Asian person a lesson they'll never forget.
Unless absolutely necessary, I would never kill the other party.
Especially given that this matter has become widely known.
Because that would be asking for trouble.
If he really does that, not to mention whether the government and police will let him off the hook, the pressure from public opinion and the fearsome words of the people will have an enormous impact.
This is especially true in country A.
You're a businessman, and you kill someone just because they hit you?
No matter how rich you are, if you are punished by law, you will be feared by others.
People will be afraid to associate with you in the future because you are a murderer. Although there is no clear evidence, does such a thing need evidence?
If someone hits you, do you kill them? If someone wants to cooperate with you, and a conflict arises, would you do the same?
Doing this in private is one thing, but to do it openly and let people know about it is absolutely unacceptable.
This is quite different from the situation in China.
There are many people in China who prefer to deal with these unruly and infamous individuals because it makes them seem powerful and provides a sense of security.
Little did they know, such a person could swallow you whole without spitting out a single bone fragment.
Compared to Simpson, the real danger lies with the owner of this mansion.
What do the five major families do?
Gambino, as their leader, has been infamous for centuries, having committed numerous such acts since they immigrated here from Sicily.
If you offend them, they'll make you disappear without a trace. This isn't the first time they've done this, and it certainly won't be the last.
This poor Asian boy's current behavior is seen by many as a provocation against the Gambino family.
After all, Simpson was their invited guest, and since he was hurt here, the Gambino family should give a reasonable explanation, both morally and logically.
More importantly, they have a long tradition of resorting to violence when faced with such disrespectful behavior towards their family.
Indeed, just as everyone expected, moments after the incident, a dozen or so men in black rushed out of the crowd and headed straight for Simpson. One of them shouted, "What's going on? Who made a move here?"
Another person asked Simpson, "Mr. Simpson, who hit you?"
The atmosphere became extremely tense. Cheryl's expression changed slightly. She opened her mouth, wanting to defend Jiang Bai, but found that even if she spoke, she would be powerless. She was just a celebrity. She seemed to be very glamorous, but she was not taken seriously by these powerful families.
More importantly, Jiang Bai did indeed hit someone, and she really didn't know what to say.
He could only look at Jiang Bai with some sympathy and pity, plus guilt.
She felt that this whole thing was her fault, although she didn't know why Jiang Bai had suddenly started this.
But this matter is ultimately related to her.
She hesitated, wondering whether she should step forward at this moment and share the responsibility with Jiang Bai.
I'm a celebrity, after all. Even if the other party is vicious, they probably wouldn't kill me, right? That would have too much of an impact.
Of course, the other party has a hundred ways to make themselves disappear.
She knew that her own actions might not make much of a difference, but at that moment, she had a strong urge to step forward.
But before she could make up her mind, Jiang Bai raised his hand: "I, I'll hit him, is there a problem?"
Jiang Bai's attitude and behavior left many people bewildered, as they felt that he had given up hope.
Even Sheryl was the same.
They had already guessed what would happen next: Jiang Bai would definitely be taken away to a deserted place and given a severe lesson, provided that Jiang Bai had a certain status.
However, given that Jiang Bai was an Asian man dressed in cheap casual clothes, no one present thought he had any extraordinary identity or background, so there was probably only one outcome for him.
He was taken to a dark corner and shot dead.
However, something completely unexpected happened at that moment. The Gambino family rushed out, looking fierce and menacing, but when they saw Jiang Bai raise his hand, the expressions of the dozen or so people all changed.
They were all incredibly embarrassed, standing there helplessly, unsure whether to move or stay still, their expressions frozen.
"Um... um... no problem."
The leading guard responded dryly, his voice trembling, even he himself felt a little embarrassed.
The fierce aura he had just displayed had vanished without a trace by now.
Just kidding, others may not know who this person is, but they certainly do.
These people were all key confidants of the Gambino family in Los Angeles, the kind of confidants who could share George's secrets, so naturally they knew where Jiang Bai came from.
In fact, before arriving, George was afraid that these lawless guys would turn against him because of some of Jiang Bai's inappropriate actions, so he had a special meeting with them to explain Jiang Bai's background and situation.
Little did they know that the guy in front of them was someone who could dominate Vegas, force all the casinos of the five great families to close down, and take a huge bite out of the five great families, yet leave everyone helpless.
Knowing that this was a humanoid nuclear warhead who could single-handedly take on hundreds of gunmen and soldiers, and was fearless in the face of airplanes and cannons, he was a complete monster.
"It's just hitting someone, not killing someone. So what if he did? That's Simpson and this guy's business. What does it have to do with them? They don't care!"
As for family reputation, provocation, dignity, and the like, all of that can be put aside now.
Just kidding. If you piss this guy off, and he turns on you and goes to Vegas for ten days or half a month, those people's families will be collecting their corpses.
Nobody's an idiot, who would want to mess with someone like that?
Besides, even if they wanted to... they didn't have the ability.
After saying that, as if possessed, the leader added, "If you want to fight, you can continue. Do you need our help?"
He said this without paying any attention to the horrified looks on the faces of those around him.
He himself felt a little embarrassed after saying it. This time, he had betrayed Simpson a bit too thoroughly, and they all felt a little ashamed.
Chapter 651 I'll take you back?
Everyone at the party was utterly shocked.
Those who can come here are absolutely top-tier elites, prominent figures in Los Angeles, each one frighteningly shrewd.
The security guards deduced Jiang Bai's identity from just two sentences.
That must be an existence that even the Gambino family has to compromise and fear, otherwise these security guards wouldn't have had the guts to betray Simpson so shamelessly, letting Jiang Bai run rampant here.
In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Jiang Bai changed.
Some were eager, some were fearful, and most were regretful, regretting that they hadn't realized this was such an important person.
Why didn't you take the initiative to visit and chat? You might have been able to build a friendship, which would have been very beneficial.
The person who can make even the Gambino family fear and fawn over must be an extremely important figure.
Although he doesn't look like he's from country A, does it matter?
Obviously not important.
Unfortunately, there's no going back in life, and it's too late for them to regret it now. They can only wait until things are over and then try to talk to Jiang Bai.
Several of the most beautiful actresses even subconsciously began to tidy their hair and fix their makeup, wanting to present a stunning image to Jiang Bai.
Of course, those who vaguely sensed that this matter was related to Cheryl cast envious glances their way.
It's astonishing that such a big fish was snatched up by Cheryl.
The cunning person even cursed inwardly, "No wonder you, Cheryl, didn't agree to Mr. Simpson's proposal. So you've found a big fish. What a bitch."
However, what they didn't know was that at this moment, Cheryl was nothing but astonishment, and had no other feelings.
"I won't fight. You guys figure it out. Anyway, I don't want this guy to ever appear in front of me again, and I don't want him to bother my friends." Jiang Bai said this, without pursuing Simpson relentlessly.
It's not worth it. The two only had some conflicts, nothing serious. Jiang Bai wouldn't be satisfied unless he killed someone. It's such a trivial matter, not worth it.
The reason he said that and referred to Cheryl as his friend was simply out of a desire to help her to the end. Otherwise, once the matter was settled and he left, the other party would definitely keep pursuing Cheryl relentlessly.
Jiang Bai has seen many people like this and understands their thoughts.
"Okay, we will definitely have a good talk with Mr. Simpson. I think he should be able to listen to our advice." The lead security guard nodded quickly after hearing this.
What he feared most was Jiang Bai's relentless pursuit, which would be disrespectful to the Gambino family if something really happened to Simpson here.
Unfortunately, Jiang Bai is someone they can't afford to offend. If he really makes a move, these people have no other choice.
They can only watch helplessly; their family will truly lose face in the end.
Now that Jiang Bai was willing to let go, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed to Jiang Bai's request.
As for Jiang Bai's request, whether Simpson would agree or not was completely outside their consideration. You don't agree?
Try not agreeing!
Jiang Bai nodded. The other party had taken Simpson away, presumably to have a chat with him.
As soon as Simpson left, the atmosphere immediately returned to normal, and people gathered around, using all sorts of excuses and methods to get close to Jiang Bai.
Some wanted Sherry to introduce them, while others approached Mason, who had been standing with Jiang Bai earlier and whom they believed knew Jiang Bai.
Unfortunately, the effect was not significant.
On the contrary, some women used all sorts of methods to get close to Jiang Bai, such as falling down, splashing wine, accidentally bumping into him, seducing him, and so on. The methods were endless.
Some people did say a few words to Jiang Bai.
Unfortunately, everyone was destined to leave disappointed, because soon Zhao Ling'er came out led by George's wife, changed into a pure white dress, and moved closer to Jiang Bai. Since she didn't know anyone else, she could only stay there and talk to Jiang Bai, making it impossible for others to get close to him.
Around 10 o'clock, seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Bai prepared to leave. George tried to persuade him to stay again, but in the end, he only had someone send Zhao Ling'er away. George then took Jiang Bai around and introduced him to all sorts of people.
Jiang Bai was unsure of their motives, but he was happy to interact with the people here. These were all celebrities, including some wealthy businessmen. In the future, when the imperial enterprise expanded its business and went abroad, he might have some interactions with certain people.
There's no harm in getting to know each other now; having more friends means having more options.
The atmosphere was quite lively, and it wasn't until late at night that Jiang Bai finally took his leave.
When it was time to leave, George offered to drive Jiang Bai, and Jiang Bai didn't refuse. He wanted to get some fresh air by himself. As he walked to the door to wait for them to drive out, Cheryl appeared in front of Jiang Bai in a silver convertible sports car and stopped in front of him.
"Are you leaving? Do you need me to see you off?" Cheryl asked Jiang Bai with a smile, her tone and attitude much better than when they first met.
Now, her gratitude towards Jiang Bai is secondary; what matters most is her intense curiosity.
After all, Jiang Bai's origins are too mysterious.
None of these people recognized Jiang Bai, and Jiang Bai hadn't revealed a single thing about him.
This has led many to speculate about Jiang Bai's identity. Some say he is an Asian underworld tycoon, the leader of a powerful organization that can rival Gambino.
Some say Jiang Bai is the son of a certain leader in China, and that the whole city is astonished, with Gambino needing his help.
Some say that Jiang Bai is a hidden tycoon whose wealth has reached a terrifying level, even making Gambino afraid.
There are many different opinions, but one thing is certain: no one regards Jiang Bai as an ordinary person.
Cheryl was aware of this as well. Her conversation with Jiang Bai and her offer to see him off were partly to express her gratitude, and partly to show her a desire to get closer to him.
Goodwill was secondary, though. More importantly, Cheryl also wanted to find a backer. In this world of fame and fortune, it's really difficult to make a living without one, just like facing Simpson today, which made her feel it deeply.
Without Jiang Bai's help, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist today.
Of course, she had such thoughts, but they weren't strong. Deep down, she was struggling and hesitant, and she had a natural resistance to such things; otherwise, she wouldn't have rejected Simpson.
However... if this person makes her feel even slightly favorably towards him, it might not be a bad option.
This can only be confirmed after getting to know him, which is why she took the initiative to contact Jiang Bai, not because she wanted to go to a hotel with him right now.
Chapter 652 Flying Bullets
She was simply contacting Jiang Bai at this time to learn more about him, and if things went well, they might consider developing a relationship.
Jiang Bai is much more pleasing to the eye than that old man Simpson.
"I see... okay."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Bai did not refuse. He got into the car, told the security guard at the gate, and then Cheryl's car started and sped away, disappearing from the gate of the Gambino family mansion in the blink of an eye.
They sped out, and the two remained silent for a while. Suddenly, Cheryl glanced at Jiang Bai and said, "How about... we go get a drink?"
This surprised Jiang Bai. In fact, he had been somewhat lost after leaving the house. He hadn't paid attention when he asked Cheryl to see him off, but now he realized that this wasn't his home.
I feel homeless right now, and I definitely can't go to Han Rui and Zhao Ling'er's place.
Two women, why would they knock on the door in the middle of the night? What's going on?
Even if someone accepts me, I'll still feel awkward living there.
One is Zhao Wuji's daughter, and the other is Cheng Tiangang's ex-fiancée. Could Jiang Bai possibly do something so beastly?
Putting aside the fact that Jiang Bai wouldn't do that, even if he did, wouldn't Cheng Laohu and Zhao Wuji fight him to the death?
Jiang Bai hasn't reached that level of lustful wickedness yet.
So he really had nowhere to go right now, and he thought Cheryl's suggestion was pretty good.
Having a drink and finding a place to get a good night's sleep seems like a good option.
Of course, if the beautiful woman in front of him were willing to spend a romantic night with him and then never contact him again, Jiang Bai would also consider it a good choice.
However, judging from the appearance, it seems unlikely.
After receiving Jiang Bai's reply, Cheryl smiled and then led Jiang Bai into the city, intending to find a bar for a drink.
Bars and similar places are everywhere in a metropolis like Los Angeles, but since Cheryl is a celebrity, the place she chooses has to be more upscale and more private, which is why they went to the city center.
The car sped along, and before the two could even speak, Jiang Bai's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Sheryl's arm and shook the car. The car swerved the next second, but fortunately, there were few people around, and the car changed lanes, so it didn't cause too much of a problem.
Otherwise, the problem could be much bigger.
"Smack!"
Before Cheryl could ask what had happened, sparks flew up from the road ahead, and a huge hole was shot into the ground.
A bullet came flying in.
"What's wrong?" Cheryl exclaimed.
She was somewhat panicked. She had seen Jiang Bai's actions and what had just happened, and her face was full of panic.
"It's okay, just stand behind me and don't move around," Jiang Bai replied with a frown.
He didn't turn his head, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't, because he discovered that someone was attacking them.
Jiang Bai didn't know who it was, but it was definitely his enemy.
Among his enemies, the most likely to be the nine major gambling groups are, of course, the Gambino family, who are hosting him tonight.
Moreover, they are highly suspicious, after all, this is their territory.
Jiang Bai himself felt a headache coming on, because he had too many enemies and had offended too many people. He didn't even know who was attacking him.
There could easily be a whole platoon of men who wanted to kill him.
As soon as he finished speaking, at least a dozen machine guns opened fire simultaneously from all around the street in the distance, including a Metal Storm machine, and countless bullets came flying in an instant.
"Da da da!"
The bullets rained down like a storm, heading straight for Jiang Bai.
He grabbed Sherry and charged forward, instantly riddling Sherry's silver sports car with holes before unleashing a massive explosion.
Taking advantage of the moment of the explosion, Jiang Bai threw Cheryl aside and dumped her in a roadside convenience store, leaving her with the words, "Don't come out."
He turned around and prepared to rush out.
"Another armor-piercing shell!"
The moment Jiang Bai turned around, he was distracted by talking and didn't remember to take precautions. Of course, the main reason was that he didn't care about the bullets at all.
So they didn't take any precautions and ended up getting hit by a bullet.
It was another armor-piercing shell.
Fortunately, Jiang Bai is different now. Although the armor-piercing bullet can still cause him some damage, it can no longer penetrate his body. It only enters his skin and gets stuck in his muscle. With a muscle contraction, the bullet falls out.
Jiang Bai leaped forward and charged directly at the gunman in the distance.
The next second, screams followed.
One by one, Jiang Bai pulled them down from above, and they fell to the ground and died.
The dozen or so gunmen were dealt with in an instant, and Jiang Bai stood in the middle of the road, frowning deeply.
There were only a dozen or so gunmen, with armor-piercing rounds and machine guns, making a lot of noise, but the chances of survival were slim. Did they really think they could kill me with that little skill?
That's wishful thinking!
"Which bastard played this prank on me? Is he out of his mind? He thinks he can kill me with so few people?" Jiang Bai muttered to himself.
What would be a deadly attack to an ordinary person was, in Jiang Bai's eyes, a prank.
He knew his enemies well. Those who could fight Jiang Bai were definitely not ordinary people. They were Jiang Bai's adversaries and knew more or less about him. How could he possibly arrange these gunmen and expect them to kill Jiang Bai?
Isn't that a joke?
If Jiang Bai were so easy to deal with, he would have died thousands or hundreds of times over by now.
But the other party still did it, which made Jiang Bai feel that someone was playing a prank on him.
Either the person who did it was a complete idiot.
However, before he could continue speaking, a figure appeared opposite Jiang Bai, standing far away in the middle of the road, about two hundred meters away.
A young man in his early twenties with a full head of silver hair and a somewhat distorted and sickly face appeared opposite Jiang Bai, wearing a black trench coat. He had a typical Western appearance and was looking at Jiang Bai with a ferocious and eerie smile.
When he noticed Jiang Bai looking at him, he unconsciously licked his lips.
The scene was quite bizarre, causing Sheryl, who had already prepared to come out, to immediately shrink back, her face filled with panic. Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, the other person's aura made her feel somewhat afraid.
"Are you here to cause trouble?" Jiang Bai asked coldly.
While speaking, they were also trying to guess the other person's identity.
With a typical Western appearance, according to Jiang Bai's understanding of his enemies, the nine major gambling groups should have the most contact with this place. Although the other people's spheres of influence and their networks of relationships also have contact with this place, they are mostly within the Asian region.
Chapter 653 The Silver of the Assassin's Guild
If they were to attack themselves, they would likely use Asian faces.
Of course, their suspicions cannot be ruled out; they are all wealthy, powerful, and incredibly capable individuals.
Using some resources, finding a Western face is not too difficult.
However, it is unlikely, because even if they can use Western faces, it is not so easy to find someone among these Western faces who is confident in assassinating them.
"I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to kill you!"
The other party chuckled.
Although the two were more than 200 meters apart, they were both extraordinary people and could hear each other clearly when they spoke.
Fortunately, the street was unusually deserted; otherwise, it would have terrified countless ordinary people.
"I can see that. I can also see that you cleared the area beforehand. You have considerable power. But... are you sure you can kill me?"
Jiang Bai spoke noncommittally, already prepared to launch a surprise attack at any moment.
Jiang Bai was quite confident that his opponent was only slightly older than him, and that no soldier in his twenties could compare to him.
Since it wasn't a so-called warrior and was keeping a distance of over two hundred meters from me, it could only be a superhuman.
Jiang Bai didn't know where the other party came from, but anyone who could attack him and even threaten to kill him must be someone important, so he had to take it seriously.
This isn't his territory, and Jiang Bai doesn't want to be caught off guard and suffer a setback.
"No one the Assassin's Guild wants to kill can survive! Especially those I, Silver, want to kill, no one has ever escaped!"
The other party chuckled, quite confident in himself.
The League of Assassins is an ancient and mysterious organization whose lineage can be traced back to the Dark Ages and even further into the past.
During their rampant reign, it is said that the whole of Europe was shrouded in their shadow.
Their activities are extremely mysterious and their power is formidable. No outsider knows how many of them there are or what their strength is. This is the first time Jiang Bai has heard of the name Bai Yin.
Because those who had heard of this name before this had already been terrified.
Jiang Bai didn't know how strong Bai Yin was.
However, if the other party dared to let him kill him, then they must have some confidence.
You have to understand, with the methods of the Assassin's Guild, finding out your identity would be incredibly easy. They would know exactly what you've done, and if they did make a move, they would be very confident of success.
As a long-established organization, they wouldn't easily do something they weren't confident about.
Now that we're here, we must have a good chance of winning.
Jiang Bai was very curious about where the opponent's chances of winning lay.
One silver?
Even if he is an SSS-level superhuman, Jiang Bai would not take him seriously. Among the top experts, Jiang Bai is definitely the most terrifying one.
"I wondered who it was. I guessed for so long, but it turns out to be someone from the Assassin's Guild. But do you think you can kill me all by yourself? You're being too naive. I believe you already have my information. Even if you're a hidden SSS-level ability user, killing me is just wishful thinking!"
Jiang Bai said noncommittally, while looking around to see if anyone else was nearby, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
Because he simply couldn't believe that the other party would expect someone to kill him.
This is illogical.
"I'm enough on my own!" Baiyin chuckled.
A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Bai Yin's entire body. Bai Yin, his body crackling with lightning, rushed over, drew a sword from his waist, and aimed straight at Jiang Bai's chest.
A slender longsword, with a blade somewhat resembling a rapier, hurtled straight toward Jiang Bai's chest.
As soon as the other party made their move, Jiang Bai rushed over, charging towards them at top speed, hoping to seize the opportunity to kill them.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm had already moved, and a huge palm shadow appeared out of thin air, attacking the opponent. The palm print, which was tens of meters long, fell from the sky, trying to kill the opponent into dust.
But as soon as he made a move, Jiang Bai realized something was wrong.
Seeing the lightning crackling all over his body, Jiang Bai assumed the other person was a superhuman. However, when he made a move, he found that things were not as he had imagined.
A huge explosion was heard, but the opponent was completely unharmed. Facing Jiang Bai's qi, he did not retreat but advanced, and his rapier was in front of Jiang Bai in an instant.
The damage Jiang Bai inflicted on him was merely a slight reduction in the intensity of the lightning that had surrounded his body.
"A soldier?" Jiang Bai immediately realized.
The opponent was clearly a warrior, a powerful warrior, unlike those with superpowers or those who practiced ancient martial arts.
Western-style warriors are an ancient profession that can rival ancient martial artists. They typically possess powerful physical bodies as a shield, and the most skilled among them can even generate what is known as battle qi.
Based on a powerful physical body, one absorbs various energies from heaven and earth to form a powerful battle aura that suits one's own physical characteristics.
It can not only protect itself, but also generate powerful destructive force.
In terms of physical strength, speed, and other aspects, warriors of the same level have a clear advantage over ancient martial artists because their bodies are more powerful.
However, when it comes to technique, that's another matter. The Asians, who are physically inferior to their opponents, are clearly superior in agility and technique.
Bizarre moves and martial arts have always emerged in the East.
As to who is stronger or weaker between them, that's a matter of opinion.
However, the silver-haired man in front of him was clearly much stronger than the ancient martial artists Jiang Bai had ever seen, because he was not harmed at all by his Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
This is naturally related to the fact that Jiang Bai did not use his full strength.
However, from another perspective, it also proves the power of Silver.
"Die!"
Jiang Bai did not dodge the opponent's rapier. Ordinary weapons were useless to him. Even armor-piercing bullets could not penetrate his body now, let alone a thin, broken sword.
Therefore, Jiang Bai did not dodge at all, but instead turned his palm into a fist and unleashed the Heavenly Frost Fist.
This is similar in spirit to the other party's fighting spirit.
Ancient martial artists' internal energy comes in various forms, but Jiang Bai's is primarily based on power, so it's fine not to reveal it normally. When combined with the Heavenly Frost Fist, it complements each other perfectly, not only without weakening its power but also indirectly enhancing it.
This not only grants Jiang Bai immense power but also the ability to inflict damage from alien energy, a result of Jiang Bai's recent research.
With a loud "bang," Jiang Bai's fist struck his opponent, piercing through the lightning battle aura and hitting his body directly...
Chapter 654 Supreme Kitchen Knife
Although lightning crackled when Jiang Bai's fist made contact with his opponent.
The electric shock numbed Jiang Bai's arm, preventing him from continuing his attack. However, Jiang Bai's strength was too great, and the Heaven-Cleaving Frost Fist neutralized a large amount of the lightning, allowing Jiang Bai's fist to directly contact the opponent's body.
He delivered a powerful punch to his opponent.
Silver flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, leaving a huge hole in it.
However, Jiang Bai is not having an easy time either.
He still underestimated the opponent's strength.
The slender rapier pierced through his body at that moment, even going straight through his heart.
Blood gushed out instantly, spraying from both the front and back holes.
That's Jiang Bai for you; if it were anyone else, they would have died instantly.
This rapier was so sharp that Jiang Bai felt it was indestructible. His body was now as strong as steel, even stronger than the armor of a tank. Professional armor-piercing bullets could pierce through his body, let alone a sword.
But the sword pierced right through him without any effort.
"Ha, ha... I told you, you were going to die!" Bai Yin struggled to his feet and laughed.
"Damn it, it hurts like hell!" Jiang Bai couldn't help but curse.
Death is absolutely out of the question. He now possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities, and his wounds healed in an instant. If it weren't for the holes in his clothes indicating that he had been pierced, it would be difficult to tell from other aspects that Jiang Bai had been injured.
But it hurts, it really hurts.
"Not dead?" Bai Yin was stunned when he saw Jiang Bai standing there unharmed.
This result was clearly unexpected.
"Is your information really that incomplete? I thought the Assassin's Guild was something special, but it seems they're nothing special after all."
"You didn't even know I have super regenerative abilities? I can recover from any injury in an instant! You want to kill me? You're a long way off!"
"But I'm quite curious, what is that broken sword of yours? It's so sharp that it can pierce through my flesh! You know, I'm confident that my body is indestructible; even armor-piercing bullets can't penetrate it!"
Jiang Bai squinted and asked.
He was really curious about that sharp rapier. What was it that could pierce his body like it was tofu?
What he really wanted to know was, how much of this stuff was there?
Is it the only one, or is there a large quantity of this kind of thing?
"This sword comes from Louis XIV, the Sun King. He gathered the best alchemists to forge this weapon using extraterrestrial gold crystals. It is indestructible. Not to mention your physical body, it can easily penetrate even a meter-thick alloy steel plate!"
Bai Yin squinted at Jiang Bai in front of him and said noncommittally.
After saying that, he added, "Also, our Assassin's Guild's information isn't incomplete. I knew you had this ability, but I didn't expect it to be this strong. However... that's all."
"I've seen even stronger regenerative abilities than yours, people who were supposedly immortal, but they were still killed by us in the end. The power of the Assassin's Guild is beyond your imagination!"
Jiang Bai remained noncommittal and said nothing more.
Now that Bai Yin has rushed out, a rapier crackling with lightning is hurtling towards Jiang Bai, attempting to repeat his old trick.
Although Jiang Bai's attack had injured him, the power of the lightning battle qi had been greatly reduced. Although he was affected by the injury, his injuries were not very serious.
This gave him the opportunity and strength to break through again.
"You son of a bitch, are you taking advantage of me because I don't have a weapon?" Jiang Bai was immediately enraged when he saw the other party using the same trick again.
Without hesitation, he took out Tiger Soul. As long as he didn't use the Seven Limits, there wouldn't be a big problem.
Jiang Bai uses Tiger Soul as a cleaver. By not using any of the Seven Limits techniques, he avoids triggering a backlash from Tiger Soul. Jiang Bai has only recently discovered this.
Of course... without the combined use of the Seven Limits techniques, Jiang Bai's Tiger Soul's effectiveness is greatly reduced, turning in Jiang Bai's hands into an incomparably sharp and indestructible... kitchen knife!
Jiang Bai's actions startled Bai Yin, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released; it was definitely not going to stop him now.
If he stops attacking now, he will be killed by Jiang Bai immediately. There is no room for carelessness when masters clash.
Bai Yin, a veteran of countless battles, was extremely knowledgeable about this. Despite his young age, he didn't look much older than Jiang Bai.
But he was already thirty-five years old. Although this age was terrifyingly young among warriors, especially top-tier SSS-level warriors, he was still quite a bit older than Jiang Bai.
Given that he constantly faces the threat of death within the Assassin Brotherhood, and has been carrying out various missions since his youth, he is highly experienced and battle-hardened, so he would not make such a basic mistake.
So he still rushed over!
"Screw you!" Jiang Bai roared, unleashing his strongest move to date.
The Seven Limits cannot be used unless absolutely necessary, so he just glanced at it casually and controlled the Tiger Soul with his own reflexes and speed.
He slashed at the opponent's rapier.
The next second, the rapier surrounded by lightning shattered instantly. This exquisite artifact, forged by alchemists during the time of the Sun King, was smashed to pieces the moment it came into contact with Tiger Soul.
"How is this possible?" Bai Yin was stunned for a moment, his face full of horror.
This famous sword, passed down for hundreds of years, was indestructible in his hands and had never been damaged in the slightest. Now, it has been cut in half? And broken into pieces?
This was something that Bai Yin found hard to accept for a while.
"Nothing is impossible! Die!" Jiang Bai roared, and the moment he severed the rapier, he turned his blade and charged directly at Bai Yin.
Tiger Soul truly deserves its reputation as the most ferocious divine weapon, capable of contending with the existence of gods. Even without using the Seven Limits, in Jiang Bai's hands, it becomes an indestructible, supreme cleaver.
With Jiang Bai's swing, he directly shattered Bai Yin's lightning battle aura, and then instantly sliced Bai Yin's body in two.
"How...is this possible?"
Even in his dying moments, Baiyin couldn't believe that he had been killed just like that.
Known as the top assassin in the League of Assassins for decades, Silver was killed so easily that even he himself couldn't believe it when he died.
However, whether you believe it or not is no longer important, because the silver body is now broken in two.
He's as dead as can be; he's not like Jiang Bai, who has that super regenerative ability.
If you're cut in half, you'll really die.
Moreover, even if Jiang Bai possesses super regenerative abilities, it's questionable whether he could survive if someone cleanly and decisively cut him in half, separating his lower body from his torso.
Chapter 655 Trying to run away? Dream on!
I reckon that even if it can recover, it will probably take some time, and it will definitely not be as easy to recover as the injuries I suffered before.
Moreover, even if they recover, it will likely be a long process to regain their peak strength. The damage is simply too great, for anyone.
"You think you can run away? Dream on!"
Having dealt with Bai Yin, Jiang Bai did not stop immediately, nor did he feel that everything was fine. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, and the instant he put away his captivating weapon, he reached out and punched the empty road to his left.
With a muffled thud, a figure fell to the ground, revealing her true form: a young woman in her early twenties, a typical Westerner.
She still looks pretty, but there's a noticeable difference compared to the previous Cheryl.
The difference is huge, both in terms of appearance and physique.
Sheryl is a typical curvy woman, while the girl in front of her with short hair has a very masculine appearance, and her figure is naturally not that great.
Anyway, it doesn't suit Jiang Bai's taste.
Even if she suits his taste, Jiang Bian wouldn't be interested in her, because she came with Bai Yin.
They came here to kill me, they just hadn't shown up yet.
This girl's ability is probably invisibility, which isn't particularly powerful in combat, but it's especially effective in sneak attacks and assassinations. For an assassin, this ability is absolutely incredible.
In some ways, he is even more terrifying than Silver, a straightforward warrior.
Unfortunately, apart from this ability, she wasn't very strong. If it weren't for the ancient dagger in her hand that gleamed with a cold light and was clearly not an ordinary item, it would have been a pipe dream for her to try to ambush him.
Her ability was very special; it wasn't just simple invisibility, but also the ability to conceal her aura. If Jiang Bai hadn't killed Bai Yin earlier, causing her to panic and make a sound, he wouldn't have been able to detect her.
Just thinking about the consequences of this girl getting close and cutting off his own neck made Jiang Bai feel a chill run down his spine.
If someone were to ambush him and completely sever his head from his body, Jiang Bai didn't think he could survive.
Even the most powerful super-recovery system couldn't possibly be that powerful.
Of course, one idea is that if you sew your head back onto your body, you can still survive.
But the premise is that the other party has to give him the opportunity. Jiang Bai is certain that if he really loses his head, he will be torn to pieces and reduced to ashes.
Even if you have super regeneration, or even if you are immortal, you'll still be finished.
As for whether the other party could do it, Jiang Bai had no doubt at all, because the dagger that fell from the other party's hand, without any force pushing it to the ground, cut through several layers of iron railings on the roadside, which were several tens of centimeters high, and then sank into the ground, with only the handle of the dagger exposed.
What's even more terrifying is that it landed without making a sound.
In other words, the sharpness of this dagger has reached an extreme, making it easier to cut through these things than paper.
If that thing were to hit him like that, Jiang Bai didn't think his physical body could withstand it.
The thought sent chills down my spine and filled me with rage.
Silver was just bait, meant to lure him into a fight. If she could kill him, great; if not, and they fought to the death, that would be the time for her to strike.
Even if Shirogane dies, she still has the opportunity to kill him. In fact, if he is careless because of Shirogane's death, he will definitely die a terrible death.
Fortunately, the process of killing Silver was bloody and fast enough that the other party made a slight nasal sound in surprise. Fortunately, he was not careless and had been on guard against the Assassin's Guild having any backup plans, so he kept an eye on his surroundings.
That's how they managed to escape disaster. If they had been even slightly careless or relaxed, they would probably be in the country collecting their bodies by now.
"Who are you? What's your name? Is anyone else coming?"
Jiang Bai grabbed the girl, choked her, and lifted her up.
Although she is of Western race, she is not tall, and is even rather short, standing at about 1.6 meters tall. Her petite stature makes it easier for her to navigate various obstacles.
"I...I won't say anything!"
The other person was being choked by Jiang Bai, and a look of fear flashed in their eyes, but they still insisted on speaking, closing their eyes as if waiting for death.
"How old are you?" Jiang Bai glanced at the other person. The other person was not very old. Apart from this special ability, Jiang Bai also felt that the other person was at most a little more powerful than the average person, but was still at the level of an ordinary person.
They had clearly undergone training, but they still couldn't escape the category of ordinary people.
This means that her age is probably close to her appearance, around fifteen or sixteen years old.
Jiang Bai hesitated to kill him because of his age, but since the other party was there to kill him, it was obviously impossible for him to let them leave so easily.
"Fifteen, don't even think about getting anything about the Alliance from me. I won't say a word to you, even if you kill me." After hearing this, the other party first answered Jiang Bai, then reacted with a wary expression.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Jiang Bai asked curiously.
At this age, aren't you afraid of dying?
Even with training from a young age, they are still extraordinary.
Are the Assassins really that powerful? Are the people they train not afraid of death?
"I'm scared, but I'll still die if the mission fails. If I tell you about the Alliance, it won't just be me who's going to die. So no matter what, I won't say a word. Just kill me."
Jiang Bai frowned at the other party's cold response.
He came to his senses and saw a highly trained professional assassin before him. Regardless of her age, judging from her performance just now, this was definitely not her first time.
In fact, Jiang Bai didn't believe that the Assassin Alliance would dare to send a newbie to deal with someone like him. Since this wasn't the first time she had done it, only God knew how many people had died at her hands before.
Such a person doesn't deserve any pity, regardless of her age or whether she acted voluntarily; none of that matters.
In short, one thing is very clear: the girl in front of him is an enemy, Jiang Bai's enemy. That's all he needs to know.
"You really won't tell?" Jiang Bai asked again.
This was his last chance to give her. If she was willing to reveal some useful information, Jiang Bai wouldn't mind letting her live.
Of course, Jiang Bai would definitely disable her superpower before that, as it posed too great a threat to him.
Chapter 656 Should we call the police?
"I won't say anything!"
The other party responded coldly, then sneered at Jiang Bai, "Baiyin and I will not die in vain. This matter will not end like this. Baiyin is one of the most powerful assassins in the alliance."
"I am also the most promising assassin."
"After we both die, the League of Assassins will be your sworn enemy!"
Before Jiang Bai could respond, black blood began to flow from the corner of his mouth. He convulsed a few times and then fell silent.
This left Jiang Bai somewhat bewildered; it was the first time he had seen someone so fearless in the face of death, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Although he knew that the world was not lacking in assassins, in fact, among the forces Zhao Wuji had given him were dozens of real assassins.
However, these assassins are not very powerful. They can deal with ordinary people, and are comparable to the best soldiers, but they are not strong enough to deal with the enemy.
Jiang Bai put the girl's body down and paid it no further attention.
He knew without a doubt that since the Assassin's Guild could seal off the streets, they would also be able to discover the deaths of these two people, and they would handle the matter afterward.
There's no need for Jiang Bai to be a good person in vain.
The surrounding area stretched for two kilometers, lined with tall buildings. At this moment, it appeared dark and sparsely populated, but who knew that in some corner there might be members of the Assassin's Guild observing everything that had just happened with binoculars.
Perhaps what happened here has already been reported back.
I'm about 70% certain that these are Jiang Bai's.
As for figuring out the other party's thoughts, Jiang Bai doesn't have time to do so, because that's not easy, unless Jiang Bai launches a massacre and wipes out everyone here.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to find the other party's whereabouts.
He had also considered following them while they were cleaning up their mess, finding the Assassin's Guild's hideout, and settling scores with them for what happened today.
However, this idea was fleeting, and Jiang Bai abandoned it.
The reason is simple: facing the massive assassin alliance, Jiang Bai is not confident of victory. Although he just killed two of the most promising assassins, one of whom was known as one of the strongest assassins, Bai Yin.
However, the long-standing Assassin's Guild certainly has more than just one Silver rank.
There must be other masters and backup plans, otherwise it would not have been possible to pass it down for so many years, and even claim to rule Europe during the dark Middle Ages.
However, Jiang Bai dismissed such a statement with disdain.
During the Dark Ages, only the Pope ruled Europe; everyone else was just a nobody.
Although the Assassin Brotherhood claimed to rule the Middle Ages, that was just a gimmick; from that time on, they were just a bunch of rats living in the gutter.
However, the fact that these rats in the ditch were able to survive and survive to this day under the shadow of the Inquisition speaks volumes about their abilities.
The Nangong family has more than one top expert and many ice burial coffins, making them a veritable gathering of powerful figures.
As a force no weaker than them, the Assassin Alliance had no reason not to have some backup plan.
He was fearless and undaunted on his own, but could he really charge in alone and take over someone else's stronghold?
Jiang Bai knew he didn't have that ability; that was something Yang Wudi did. Maybe Yang Wudi was just waiting for him to come to him.
Moreover, Jiang Bai didn't think the Assassin Alliance would be so careless as to leave traces. They must have been on guard, and the one he managed to find must be a minor character.
It's difficult to get useful information from them.
So Jiang Bai gave up on the idea.
Ignoring the corpse on the ground, he walked over, picked up the girl's dagger, pulled it from the ground, and was astonished to find a line of small characters engraved on it.
"Hydra's Fang!"
Jiang Bai was somewhat taken aback by this. The Hydra was the legendary nine-headed serpent, extremely ferocious. No wonder the dagger named after it was so sharp. Judging from the decorations and patterns on the dagger, it must have existed in a very ancient era.
I don't know who forged this thing or what it went through, but it must have a long story.
Jiang Bai had no idea about these things. He was very curious, but unfortunately, he knew nothing. If the girl in front of him were still alive, she might be able to give him a reasonable explanation and tell him a long story.
However, that's impossible now.
After searching the other person's body for a while, Jiang Bai found a simple, short scabbard. It fit the dagger perfectly inside, and Jiang Bai casually put the dagger away.
Instead of keeping it close to my body, I followed the proper procedure for handling Tiger Soul and put it into my personal spatial ring, which is the safest and most secure place, much more reliable than leaving it outside.
After dealing with these matters, Jiang Bai headed towards where Cheryl was hiding.
As I walked over, I was shocked to find that Cheryl was deathly pale and trembling all over.
He looked quite frightened.
"It's alright, the matter has been resolved," Jiang Bai said to Cheryl in a friendly tone.
Sherry was unlucky today. The other party was obviously targeting her. She was attacked, her sports car was destroyed, and she was quite frightened. Jiang Bai didn't want to provoke the other party any further.
Hearing Jiang Bai's words, Cheryl trembled, snapping out of her daze. She stopped staring blankly outside and stammered, "Just now... what I saw... was it real? You... you killed someone?"
Jiang Bai couldn't help but smile wryly after hearing this. In Cheryl's mind, he had become a real murderer, hadn't he?
Although he doesn't actually care what others think of him, he doesn't like it when others look at him with fear.
Jiang Bai would feel very uncomfortable if that happened.
"They wanted to kill me, I had no choice," Jiang Bai said noncommittally. Then his mind started racing, considering whether he should find a hypnotherapist or something to brainwash Sherry and make her forget what happened tonight.
"Then...should we call the police? I can testify for you that you acted in self-defense, and that they intended to hurt you first." After hearing this, Cheryl nodded blankly, then suddenly remembered something, raised her head, and looked at Jiang Bai in front of her, asking.
Her first reaction was to call the police, as if everything would be safe after she did.
"Call the police? Uh, do you think that's appropriate?" Jiang Bai pointed to the street outside and asked with a wry smile.
The outside world is now in ruins. Because of the fight between him and Baiyin, the wide road outside has been shattered into pieces. Apart from a pile of corpses, the ground is in ruins and has been smashed to pieces.
Large holes and potholes appeared in the middle of the road, tearing the earth apart and leaving the surrounding buildings in ruins.
This seems worse than experiencing a world war. In this situation, how do you call the police?
When the police arrive, they'll be dumbfounded.
Chapter 657 Thank you, Jiang!
Calling the police now is obviously inappropriate, and Cheryl was well aware of this. Hearing Jiang Bai say this, she was stunned, and her face turned a little pale.
Still shaken, he asked, "Who...who were those people?"
"It's just a small trouble, nothing serious." Jiang Bai smiled, unwilling to explain further to Cheryl.
Moreover, no matter how much she was explained, she still couldn't understand, even though she seemed to have seen some things that completely overturned her beliefs before.
Jiang Bai didn't say anything, and Cheryl didn't ask either. When she went outside and looked at the sports car that had been reduced to rubble, a pang of heartache flashed in Cheryl's eyes. It was a limited edition, and she had gritted her teeth to buy it. She hadn't even driven it for long before it was reduced to rubble. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't heartbroken.
However, compared to a car, her own life was more important. Sherryl could accept it. She was already extremely lucky to have survived the chaos just now, so what was there to complain about?
"I think I need a drink now."
After leaving, Cheryl let out a long sigh of relief and then said that she needed a drink to calm herself down.
Jiang Bai smiled and nodded, and the two found a place to have a drink.
One glass was just the beginning; one glass after another followed until everyone was quite tipsy before it finally ended.
Jiang Bai then took Cheryl home.
Just as he was about to leave, Cheryl invited Jiang Bai in for a cup of coffee. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Bai agreed.
When Jiang Bai woke up in the early hours of the next day, he glanced at the sleeping woman and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
It's like I've added another partner to my life.
The things that happened between the two of them were a collision of alcohol and passion. It's not that Jiang Bai was really so promiscuous that he had fallen in love with the woman in front of him.
From the time they met until now, they've spent no more than 24 hours together, and Jiang Bai's love hasn't yet arrived with such intensity and speed.
However, Cheryl is a good woman. Although it was his first time last night, it was quite wild. She was passionate and gave Jiang Bai a different kind of life experience.
After getting up, Jiang Bai found a quiet place to sit cross-legged and cultivate. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was his daily must-do, no matter when or where. He had already cultivated to the seventh level, but the eighth level was still a long way off.
Jiang Bai doesn't know how long it will take to cultivate the Eighteenfold Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to its fullest extent.
However, he was not in a hurry; he had plenty of time to cultivate at his own pace.
Compared to ordinary people, he possesses super regeneration, which has the added benefit of a long lifespan because his cells constantly regenerate, allowing him to live far longer than others.
He has plenty of time to cultivate slowly. Moreover, once he breaks through to the ranks of top-tier experts, his lifespan will increase.
The increase varies from person to person; half of them take thirty to fifty years or even more. Jiang Bai estimates that it will be more than the average person.
He has plenty of time to squander, so he's not in a hurry.
However, he never missed a single day of his studies.
Perseverance is the secret to success.
Two hours later, as the morning sun streamed into the room, Cheryl slowly opened her eyes, covered her aching head, and shook her head to wake up from the glaring sunlight.
Recalling the madness of last night, her face flushed slightly.
Looking at the empty pillow, I felt a sense of loss and bitterness.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Cheryl prepared to go downstairs. She decided to treat yesterday's passion as just a dream.
This kind of thing is very common here. How could I possibly say anything about making someone take responsibility?
Obviously, that is impossible.
Only a real idiot would say that.
The disappointment didn't last long. Sherry, coming down from the second floor, was somewhat stunned, because she was delighted to find that Jiang Bai hadn't left. Instead, he had prepared breakfast and was waiting quietly. Seeing her come down, he smiled and said, "Did you sleep well? I made breakfast, let's eat together?"
"Mm." Cheryl nodded, a bright smile spreading across her face.
She didn't know why she was happy. It was probably a one-night stand, but seeing that Jiang Bai hadn't left and had even made breakfast, she still felt a sweet and warm feeling in her heart.
While eating bread and drinking milk, Jiang Bai spoke up: "I have a gift for you."
"Huh?" Cheryl looked blank, somewhat confused.
"Let's go take a look after we finish eating," Jiang Bai said with a smile.
Sheryl quickly finished eating, and then left the room with Jiang Bai. When they went outside, they found a brand new silver-white sports car in front of them, exactly the same as the one that had been destroyed yesterday.
"My God, how is this possible?"
Sheryl exclaimed in surprise, because it was exactly the same as hers, but she clearly remembered that her car was destroyed yesterday. Could it be that her memory was confused?
"Nothing is impossible. I caused you trouble yesterday and ruined your car, so I thought I should help you get a new one. So I asked a friend for help. Fortunately, they are quite capable. Although it was a limited edition, they got one for you very quickly."
Jiang Bai responded with a smile, saying that he had sent George a text message last night.
While drinking, Jiang Bai decided to compensate Sherry. George was very efficient and delivered the car in the early hours of the morning.
Luckily, this car is made in China; if it were made in another country, it wouldn't have arrived so quickly.
In country A, it's easy for the Gambino family to get things done. Last night, they had them work overtime to remake one.
As for whether this would violate any regulations, that was not Jiang Bai's concern.
It's the car company owner who needs to consider whether it's worth offending the Gambino family for a car or a so-called code of conduct. That's something he should weigh for himself.
However, when the car arrives, it means that the other party has already made a choice.
When principles clash with power, it seems that power always wins.
"Thank you, Jiang!" Cheryl hugged Jiang Bai and kissed him excitedly, then went to look at her car with a big smile on her face.
But the surprises didn't end there. Before Cheryl could even get used to her new car, her phone rang. She glanced at the phone, then at Jiang Bai, frowned, and said to him, "Jiang, it's Mason."
"Let's give it a try, maybe there'll be some good news," Jiang Bai replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Cheryl answered the phone in a daze. Her expression began to change constantly, starting with confusion and anger, then surprise and excitement, and finally a big smile.
Chapter 658 The Big Airplane is a Bit Expensive
"Oh my god, Mason told me that I've been cast as the female lead in Tassenberg's new film? I haven't even had an audition! And they've already decided on me?"
"God, what's wrong with me today? I'm so happy!"
"Director Tassenburg actually skipped the pre-selection process and gave me the role?"
After hanging up the phone, Cheryl excitedly told Jiang Bai that she really wanted this role, she really wanted it.
The premise is that she doesn't have to make any exchange.
Now that happiness had suddenly arrived, Cheryl was overjoyed and jumped up excitedly. Then she saw Jiang Bai's smiling face and immediately realized that this was Jiang Bai's doing. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Jiang, did you do this? Did you influence Director Tassenburg?"
"He just needed money. I happened to have some spare cash, and I also own a film company in our country, so we're in the same industry. We've always wanted to expand overseas, so this was a good opportunity to collaborate with a big director. I found a friend to act as an intermediary, and he quickly agreed."
Jiang Bai said with a smile.
George helped with all of this. Jiang Bai provided the funding, investing in the film under the name of Empire Films to boost Empire Films' reputation. At the same time, he made a small condition: that Cheryl play the female lead.
Sheryl has a good image and meets the other party's standards. She was originally one of the candidates. Now that Jiang Bai is offering a large sum of money as a condition for Sheryl to participate in the film, the other party will naturally not refuse.
The two parties hit it off immediately, which led to what happened today.
"Jiang, how can I repay you?" Hearing this, Cheryl approached Jiang Bai with seductive eyes, placed one hand on Jiang Bai's chest, and said softly.
"What do you think?" Jiang Bai replied with a smile, while also blocking the other person's body with one hand.
The atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. After a passionate encounter, Jiang Bai invited Cheryl to accompany him for a stroll around Los Angeles.
He's been here all day, busy with things, and hasn't had a chance to properly explore the city. He's still very curious about this world-famous metropolis.
Although George arranged for someone to guide Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai didn't care about being surrounded by a group of burly men in black. It wasn't a sightseeing trip, but a chance to show off, and Jiang Bai wasn't used to it.
Cheryl naturally wouldn't refuse Jiang Bai's request, and the two of them happily played around in Luo City, with Cheryl taking Jiang Bai around in her new car.
After playing all morning and having lunch, while Cheryl was still considering where to take Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai suddenly asked, "Cheryl, do you know anyone in the aviation industry?"
"The aviation industry?" Cheryl looked blank, not understanding why Jiang Bai would suddenly ask such a question.
"I'm thinking of buying a private jet, so I'd like to find someone to help me ask around. If you know anyone, we can go take a look together this afternoon."
Jiang Bai nodded.
Sherry wasn't particularly surprised by this. In Country A, many wealthy people own their own private jets. It's not a big deal. Not only the wealthy, but also some big-name celebrities have them. For them, airplanes are a necessity of life.
"Buy a Gulfstream, it's pretty good. A friend of mine bought one before. The price was reasonable, and the space is quite comfortable. Many people choose this one. If you're interested, I can call my friend and have her introduce you to her manager." After thinking for a moment, Cheryl made her recommendation to Jiang Bai.
Although she didn't know Jiang Bai's true background, Cheryl was aware that Jiang Bai was no ordinary person. She didn't consider his financial situation and simply made a recommendation that she thought was appropriate.
"Gulfstream? That's too small. I want to buy a better one."
Jiang Bai frowned upon hearing this. He really looked down on Bay Stream, such a small fry. He wasn't short of money, so why treat himself so badly?
"Small? I don't know then. I'll ask a friend." Cheryl paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and dialed a friend's number.
The other person is also a celebrity, and a very famous top female star, a queen-level figure. I didn't expect that she would have a relationship with Cheryl. Moreover, from what I heard, the two of them have a typical close friendship and talk very casually.
Sheryl explained Jiang Bai's situation and requests, and the other party quickly gave a reply.
"Jennifer said she attended a Boeing business event a few days ago and heard them say that their company has recently encountered some problems. A customer who had ordered an aircraft paid the first payment but then cancelled the order due to financial reasons."
"They are currently looking for a buyer for this aircraft. The aircraft meets your requirements; it is very large, a private jet converted from a Boeing 787, and the interior decoration is also suitable. It is said that the previous buyer was a wealthy man from the Middle East, but recently the oil price has plummeted, and his company has also encountered difficulties, so he can no longer pay for the aircraft."
"The only problem is that this plane is a bit expensive..."
She covered the phone and relayed her friend's conversation to Jiang Bai.
"Money is not a problem," Jiang Bai smiled.
For Jiang Bai, money has never been a problem.
Imperial Enterprises makes money every day. Not to mention Imperial Enterprises, Jiang Bai himself has two hundred million US dollars lying in his bank account that are just sitting there rusting away, with no idea what to do with it.
It's enough to buy things now.
Hearing Jiang Bai's words, Cheryl nodded, then relayed Jiang Bai's words to her friend. As soon as she finished speaking, her friend replied, and Cheryl's mouth opened slightly, her expression somewhat strange. She glanced at Jiang Bai and hesitated for a moment.
He said in a low voice, "The other party offered eight hundred million, in US dollars!"
"Holy crap!"
Jiang Bai's face remained unchanged upon hearing this, but his mind was twisted with rage... How could airplanes be so expensive?
Didn't they say you could buy one for tens of millions of Chinese dollars?
Of course, that's a Gulfstream, but even famous luxury jets don't have such high prices. The most expensive one in the world is said to be worth a billion US dollars.
However, this time the first and second place bids were only 500 million US dollars, while this one is asking for 800 million.
Wouldn't that make it the second most expensive in the world?
Jiang Bai really wanted to tell Cheryl that he didn't have that much money right now, but he had spoken too confidently and couldn't take it back. He was a man who cared a lot about his image, especially in front of women he was close to.
Of course, I wouldn't back down after hearing that; that would be too embarrassing.
Besides... it's not that he's really broke.
Empire Corporation is a massive international enterprise. After acquiring Eagle Corporation, Empire Corporation has become a behemoth with its main business in Asia.
Chapter 659 Preparing to Borrow Money
The total assets of the Imperial Enterprises are between four and five hundred billion Chinese yuan, and it is solely owned and controlled by Jiang Bai.
This means that Jiang Bai has assets of four or five hundred billion Chinese yuan, which is equivalent to seven or eight hundred billion US dollars. The current world number one is only slightly more than him.
certainly...
The so-called world's number one is all fake and illusory.
A true tycoon is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface; otherwise, Jiang Bai's mission would have been completed long ago.
Jiang Bai may not be the richest person in the world, but he is definitely one of the wealthiest. An airplane costs 800 million US dollars, which is a bit expensive, but he can still afford it. He just doesn't have that much cash on hand right now.
But he can't back down now. He can find a way to solve the money problem. He can borrow some money from others. Given his reputation, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone to help him.
So after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Have her help us make some contact, we'll go take a look, and if it's suitable, we'll buy it."
Cheryl paused for a moment, glanced blankly at Jiang Bai, and then quickly replied to her friend.
After hanging up the phone, Cheryl exclaimed, "Jiang, this is a bit expensive. You just need a means of transportation, you don't need to buy something so expensive. Eight hundred million US dollars is way too much."
"It's alright, it's just a little money." Jiang Bai replied with a smile, his face showing no emotion, but in reality, he was also feeling quite pained.
Sherry gave Jiang Bai a strange look but didn't say anything more. Her relationship with Jiang Bai meant she couldn't interfere in his affairs, but this only made her more curious about him.
The man in front of her was too mysterious. Not only was he powerful, possessing almost supernatural abilities, but he was also incredibly wealthy, spending eight hundred million US dollars without batting an eye. This was extremely attractive to women.
A moment later, the Boeing account manager called Sherry, they chatted for a bit and confirmed the location, and then Sherry and Jiang Bai set off for a nearby airport.
There, Jiang Bai saw the expensive goods worth eight hundred million US dollars.
Undoubtedly, this aircraft, in terms of both size and luxurious interior decoration and configuration, can meet Jiang Bai's needs.
After all, this is a Middle Eastern tycoon's plane, and the owner is said to be some kind of prince. Although his taste has a strong nouveau riche vibe, when it comes to luxury, it is truly top-notch.
The price was a bit high, and Jiang Bai wanted to discuss it with the other party, but the other party said directly, "Sir, it's not that we are unwilling to give you a discount, it's just that the cost of this aircraft is what it is."
"Its cost reached 1.2 billion, making it the most luxurious and expensive aircraft to date. Previous customers prepaid 30%, and we are selling it at 800 million, which is already at cost price. If we lower the price further, I will have a hard time explaining it to the company."
"You know, if this plane weren't so expensive and there weren't so few customers, we wouldn't have sold it at a loss."
Jiang Bai remained silent. He wasn't good at bargaining; it wasn't his talent.
However, he couldn't do it, but Cheryl was extremely good at it. After hearing this, she immediately retorted: "As you know, this plane is too expensive. I think no one but us would be willing to spend eight hundred million US dollars to buy a plane."
"Admittedly, this plane is very good, but there are only a limited number of wealthy people in this world. They basically all own their own planes, and as far as I know, no rich person is willing to spend this much money to buy one."
"If you don't sell it to us, it will sit for a year or two and then we won't be able to sell it for this price anymore. It's very likely that it will be stuck in Boeing's hands. Eight hundred million US dollars is a huge loss for you. If you are willing to lower the price, we are willing to buy it."
Sherry's words made the other party hesitate. Considering her firm attitude, the other party tried to bargain a few more times, but to no avail, and then dialed the company's number.
A few minutes later, the other party replied to Jiang Bai: "Sir, our company agrees. The price is 750 million. If you are willing, we can sign a contract. If not, then we regret to inform you."
"Alright, it's settled then." Jiang Bai glanced at Cheryl, and seeing that she didn't object, he agreed.
"This..." At this moment, the other party hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bai replied unhappily.
It's all settled now, what if the other party wants to change their mind again?
"Well, since we made a loss this time, the company thinks you should pay all the money within three days," the manager replied somewhat curtly.
This is 750 million, not 7.5 million. Raising the money will take time, and this request is indeed a bit difficult for the client.
"Three days? No problem." After thinking for a moment, Jiang Bai agreed.
He originally intended to divert some of the funds from the Empire's enterprises to operate the business, but now it seems that's not possible.
It's not that Imperial Enterprises can't come up with the money, but rather that there isn't enough time.
It takes time to collect funds from various branches, then summarize and transfer them; three days is a bit tight.
However, he had already come up with a plan. Wasn't there a bunch of big spenders in Vegas?
Besides casinos, they also have a lot of underground businesses; they don't have much of anything but cash.
Just borrow some from them.
Whether they are willing or not is beyond Jiang Bai's consideration. If they are not willing, then it's simple...
Mr. Jiang is unhappy, and the consequences will be severe.
If you won't lend it to me, I'll take it myself.
As for whether this might provoke the other party to turn against him in desperation and reveal their backing, that was not within Jiang Bai's consideration.
Anyway, he wanted to test his skills against these people's backers, and if given the opportunity, Jiang Bai wouldn't mind making a move.
Anyway, he's offended all nine major gambling groups to the core, so they're bound to retaliate sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it happens sooner or later.
Upon hearing Jiang Bai's affirmative reply, the other party was overjoyed. Subsequently, several of their senior executives arrived and signed a contract with Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai paid 200 million US dollars on the spot, agreeing to transfer the remaining amount to the other party's account within three days, thus concluding the event amicably.
Jiang Bai then made a phone call to China, asking Xiao Tian to arrange for communication with Tiandu Airlines to organize a crew to come over as quickly as possible to take over the aircraft.
The plane will be moved back for now, and Xiao Tian will be responsible for recruiting Jiang Bai's actual crew in the short term.
After everything was completed, Jiang Bai prepared to leave with Cheryl.
Just as Jiang Bai stepped out of the private airport, several cars stopped in front of him, blocking his way.
