Gao Lian's Little Schemes
Chapter 176 Gao Lian's Little Schemes
As soon as Lao Zhang left the office, Gao Dashang immediately sent several messages on Green Bubble.
He took out the long wooden box again, gently stroking the talismans on it, then suddenly raised his head, grinned, and said, "Uncle Lian, do you think I can wield this demonic sword?"
"Um?"
Gao Lian raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "You're interested in the demon sword?"
"No, that's not it." Gao Dashang shook his head, and under Gao Lian's astonished gaze, he tore off the sealing talisman on the box and opened it.
"I just want to know if this so-called demon sword can shake my will."
Without giving Gao Lian a chance to speak, under his bewildered and terrified gaze, Gao Dashang's palm crackled with black and red lightning as he gripped the knife hilt.
"Da Shang, don't..." Gao Lian's composure vanished, and he almost cracked his voice.
This is the strongest member of the Gao family, the future of the Gao family. As the head of the family, if he were to let the demon sword control him in front of him, the elders in the family would curse him to death.
With his fingers held upright in front of his chest, Gao Lian instinctively felt the urge to invoke the spirits.
However, the madness he had imagined, as he picked up the demon sword, did not materialize. Gao Dashang's eyes remained as clear as ever, causing Gao Lian to immediately stop his actions of asking the immortal.
"Da Shang, you...?"
"It's nothing." Gao Dashang curled his lip in disdain and said, "What kind of demon sword is this? No matter how powerful it is, it's still not as good as the ninjas of Heishan."
He casually tossed the demon sword back into the box, snapped the lid shut, and reattached the talisman.
"There is indeed an evil spirit residing inside, a swordsman and blacksmith named Hirumaru."
He forged this sword himself. After being tricked and murdered, he harbored resentment and thus imbued his soul into the sword he had crafted.
"and you......?"
"His will is not as strong as mine, so naturally he cannot control me."
Gao Lian: "Good lad, I don't know whether to call you arrogant or confident."
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Gao Lian felt that he had worried for nothing.
"Da Shang, I heard that the head office is going to pay for the reconstruction of the San Yi Gate for you. The board of directors has already approved it. Can you tell me why?"
""
Pushing up his glasses, Gao Lian, having recovered from his anxiety, decided to stop working and sit down on the sofa, asking curiously.
"Uncle Lian, don't you know the reason?"
Gao Dashang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He truly hadn't expected that Gao Lian, as the head of the Gao family and the regional manager, would be unaware of what he had done.
"Know what?"
Gao Lian was a little confused. Thinking about the timing of the news, he said thoughtfully, "Don't tell me that just because you went to Nathan Island for the company, the company is going to provide manpower and resources to help you rebuild the Trinity Gate headquarters?"
"I think so too. The board of directors isn't stupid. There's no such thing as a free lunch." Gao Dashang rolled his eyes and then recounted in detail how he brought back the Nasen Divine Tree.
Gao Lian suddenly realized, "So it's the Divine Tree. I was wondering why those big shots on the company's board of directors were suddenly so generous. Now I understand."
You little rascal, the company really got a great deal this time.
Behemoth's scheming backfired, and the company ended up profiting from the scheme.
However, this time those bigwigs actually did something decent; they even kept it a secret for you.
"Secret my ass! Don't think I don't know, there are other forces infiltrating the company's board of directors."
Expecting them to keep secrets is like expecting a cat not to steal fish or a dog not to eat excrement.
But it doesn't matter. As long as Behemoth's anger subsides, it's fine if the news gets out. I personally don't care.
Compared to a nobody like me, I'm sure Behemoth would rather cause trouble for the All-Knowing Path.
More than half a month has passed, and Gao Dashang has already figured out the key point.
Even if he were exposed, Behemoth would rather argue with All-Knowing than with himself, a mere employee.
That evening, I ate at the company cafeteria with Gao Lian, and Gao Lian was truly shocked by the amount of food that this person ate.
A single meal can easily weigh at least two pounds of staple food, not even counting the various meats and vegetables.
In the end, Gao Lian couldn't help but lament that poor families probably couldn't afford to raise this child.
The expected two-day event didn't happen. On the second day, Gao Lian took Gao Dashang and Lao Zhang to a farmhouse in the mountains.
Soon, Lü Ci, Tang Xin, the new leader of the Tang Clan, and a group from the Fish and Dragon Society arrived.
"Bilian, why are you everywhere?" Gao Dashang looked at Zhang Chulan and the others with a look of disgust.
He grabbed the other person's shoulder and lowered his voice, saying, "Tell me about Li Muxuan's 'collecting offerings' business. What's that old bastard thinking, daring to choose the old site of the Sanyi Gate as the location for his offerings?"
"Forehead!!!"
When Gao Dashang put his arm around Zhang Chulan's shoulder, the smile on Zhang Chulan's face froze instantly, and he cursed inwardly: "Do you think I care about getting involved in every little thing? It's just that I received these people from the Fish and Dragon Society at the last Nasen King meeting, so I didn't bother two people for one thing."
As for Li Muxuan, if it weren't for the Lu siblings, who would bother with that old bastard?
Of course, he only dared to curse in his heart.
"Senior Brother Gao."
On the other side, Zhang Lingyu, dressed in a suit, politely clasped his hands in greeting.
"Brother Lingyu, we've known each other for so long, don't be so formal."
Learn from Bi Lian, calling him "Brother Gao" won't hurt you.
He shook Zhang Chulan. "Right, you shameless bastard?"
"Forehead!!!"
"Junior Uncle, how about we call him Brother Gao?" Feeling the arm on his shoulder getting tighter and tighter, Zhang Chulan forced a smile and tentatively asked.
"snort."
Turning his head away, Zhang Lingyu was too lazy to pay attention to that shameless person.
Just as he was about to ask Li Muxuan what he meant, he heard Gao Lian calling him, so he had no choice but to give up and continue to press him for answers.
"Uncle Lian?"
"Daishang, take out the demon sword and let the seniors and Ishikawa, the chairman of the Fish and Dragon Society, take a look."
"it is good."
Under the astonished gazes of the others, Gao Dashang reached into his waist bag.
He pulled a long, rectangular wooden box from his waist pouch.
"Senior Lü, Head of the Tang Clan, and President Ishikawa, please take a look." Gao Dashang placed the wooden box on the round table and then casually unveiled the talisman and opened the wooden box.
A samurai sword lay quietly in the wooden box.
The moment they saw the wooden box, they could clearly sense the fleeting killing intent in Tang Xin and Lü Ci's eyes.
Ishikawa Nobuyuki's heart raced, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Based on its birthplace, appearance, and abilities, the company has confirmed that it is the former demon sword Hirumaru. Is that correct?" Gao Lian asked Lü Ci.
"Yes, it is indeed the demon sword Hirumaru. I will never forget this sword in my life." Lu Ci's eyes grew more fierce, and his voice was as cold as ice that had stood for millennia, as if it could freeze the soul. "Chairman Ishikawa?" Gao Lian looked at Ishikawa Shin again.
Ishikawa Shin: "I have never seen the real demon sword, but it matches the demon sword recorded in my family's records."
Ishikawa Shin really didn't want to rely on outsiders to determine the authenticity of the demon sword, but because of his age, he had never actually seen the demon sword Hirumaru.
Only after Lu Ci confirmed it could it be confirmed that the sword in front of them was indeed the demon sword Hirumaru, which the family had wanted to destroy for generations.
"Alright, now that the demon sword Hirumaru has been confirmed, as agreed, Hirumaru can now be handed over to Chairman Ishikawa."
He snapped the wooden box shut, and under the astonished gazes of the others, pushed it towards Ishikawa Shin, instructing him, "Daishang, you're responsible for accompanying Chairman Ishikawa to the airport. Be careful along the way."
"brush!"
Lu Ci grinned as he fixed his gaze on Gao Dashang, "Gao Lian, you're quite cautious to have Dashang personally escort Chairman Ishikawa."
The voice was cold, and it was impossible to tell whether it was praise or sarcasm.
...Gao Lian: "Elder Lü, please don't misunderstand. The reason I asked Da Shang to accompany and escort me is simply because of his strength. Even if he picks up the demon sword, he will not be affected by it."
If anything unexpected happens on the way, Da Shang is fully capable of escaping with the demon sword.
"Unaffected by the demon sword?" The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. Ishikawa Shin instinctively looked at Gao Dashang: "Manager Gao, I wonder if this young gentleman you mentioned, unaffected by Hirumaru, is...?"
"It's naturally a vengeful spirit residing in the demon sword, it can't affect Da Shang." Gao Lian puffed out his chest, looking proud.
This is the second-best-in-the-world and future head of the Gao family, so as the current head of the family, he naturally has to help promote him.
