The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1522 - 1521: Ancestor

"Our military funds are depleted long ago. I'm even using my private savings as a subsidy. You can't just watch me use my own money and save whatever I can for you, can you?"For someone like Fang Jinxiu, who is notoriously stingy, if it weren't for an urgent and irreversible problem with the production line, she would never have taken on a loss herself.

"Spill it, is there a problem with the military industry?"

Tang Rao's Eyes of Golden Flame swept over Tang Rao, and Fang Jinxiu instinctively dodged, which was as good as confessing indirectly.

"It's not that big of an issue, it's just, someone tampered with one line. I still don't know who did it, missing components inside, and currently, there's no way to produce anything."

It was quite the feat for Fang Jinxiu to keep this under wraps until now.

The production line was accessed? And missing components?

Anyone who can enter Tang Rao's Zijing City is someone Tang Rao has approved of as a trusted ally. They all know that the military industry is a forbidden zone for Zijing City, and besides Fang Jinxiu and Tang Rao, no one else is allowed in without permission. Yet, this person managed to get in without leaving a trace, which is rather baffling.

"The production line is unusable, and you're only telling me now! Fang Jinxiu, you've grown some guts, huh."

Tang Rao smacked Fang Jinxiu on the behind a couple of times; rather than a punishment, it was more like Tang Rao taking advantage.

"I'm just afraid of you scolding me, afraid that the paper won't hold the fire, that's why I asked Lei Li to accompany me to boost my courage, otherwise, do you think I would dare face you alone?"

Forget it, what's the use of saying more now, Tang Rao handed over fifty thousand Purple Crystal to Fang Jinxiu: "Fix whatever's missing for the production line as soon as possible. We've got too little to use; although bringing hot weapons to the Divine Realm might be unethical, when we're unable to protect ourselves, using hot weapons isn't bad, at least it can teach someone a lesson."

Yes, whatever Tang Rao says is right. As long as he gives money, Fang Jinxiu treats the words of the Golden Master like an edict.

"Thank you, Golden Master. This money is enough, but we can only replenish once, not a second time. You know my capabilities well; if someone really has eyes on our munitions factory, stealing some secrets wouldn't be too difficult. Can't you think of a solution?"

Tang Rao took Fang Jinxiu's words to heart, but to immediately solve the problem, it's not that simple—catching the thief is something Tang Rao needs to think through carefully.

"You fix and buy what needs to be replaced, I'll handle the rest."

Before Tang Rao could close his mouth, the Mountain Gate was breached.

The speed at which Zijing City's gate was broken was too fast, even for Tang Rao's quick reflexes, he didn't foresee it.

"Ah!"

Fang Jinxiu was knocked to the ground by a wooden structure that flew at her. Although the wood wasn't heavy, coming from a distance, its impact was too great, knocking Fang Jinxiu down so hard she couldn't get up.

"Boss, those bald guys attacked again. They said their leader met a bad end, and they want the same for you. Shouldn't we activate the tier-two Defensive Array?"

Sun Miao reported frantically; his reporting was still a bit slower compared to the speed those bald guys charged in.

"Just a few baldies want to force me to activate the tier-two defense?"

Tang Rao didn't even consider it.

From Gui Yi to Gui Ba, eight bald men stood in line, suddenly presenting eight golden, glowing figures in front of Tang Rao.

Eight bodies glowing with golden light and shining bald heads stood menacingly, emitting their full pressure. The weaker ones at the Mountain Gate have already fallen to the ground.

Tang Rao looked around; it seems there wasn't anyone as untouched and seemingly relaxed as he was.

Where's Zhou Runfa?

After looking over everyone, he only saw the Eight Great Vajra. Zhou Runfa is their leader, if he doesn't appear, who are these eight supposed to listen to?

"Here to cause trouble? Where's your boss?"

Tang Rao was infuriated, after all, the Eight Great Vajra dared to be the first to cause trouble for Tang Rao.

Do they know how difficult it was to build Zijing City's buildings, much less repair them, which is even more costly, are they aware?

While Tang Rao gave Fang Jinxiu them Purple Crystal, he still had to shell out more to repair the buildings. He's not a rich man, but rather like a house leaking during a heavy rainy night. Why is there no one willing to pity him a bit and spare him some trouble?

"You think you can just demand an audience with the Family Head?"

Gui Yi to Gui Ba came to cause trouble; not only did they destroy the building closest to the gate, but they also seemed determined to fight their way in further.

"This mansion might just be gone today, hahaha, tear it down!"

The eight joined hands, not attacking people, just demolishing buildings. They simply wanted to teach Tang Rao a lesson, not realizing that dismantling his property was worse than directly attacking him.

They dispersed, already taking out two buildings. Seeing those two structures fall made Tang Rao's soles ache.

Damn it, has he ever suffered such grievances?

But eight people, Tang Rao couldn't take them on alone, unless he found some help.

At this point, the only one Tang Rao could think of was the Zhang Family's ancestor.

He had two chances remaining, and using one now would leave him with only one left.

No matter, it's better than having the entire Zijing City smashed. Blame it on Tang Rao's poor strength; he currently lacks the ability to take on the Eight Great Vajra.

The two pieces of jade in the Space Ring merged into one, emitting a faint milky white light. Tang Rao established a connection with it, releasing the ancestor, and the Eight Great Vajra felt a chill on their necks. They thought it was just an ordinary breeze, but in reality, it wasn't ordinary because it was so cold, it cut their necks painfully.

"Ancestor, how many of these eight can you take?"

Tang Rao's eager little gaze circled the ancestor, making him uncomfortable.

"Eight mid-to-late-stage upper gods, I can handle them all alone."

Eight?

Tang Rao wasn't quite convinced by the ancestor's words—last time, the ancestor almost didn't make it against one, now facing eight, albeit not as strong as the last, but with the increase in number, who can say for sure the ancestor can confidently take them down?

"How about you give me two to handle, and you take the rest?"

Tang Rao fighting two at once, the odds aren't high, but it's not impossible.

He needs those stronger to spur him on, and aren't the Eight Great Vajra just the opportunity?

Tang Rao was full of confidence, believing he could do it, but the ancestor was even less convinced of Tang Rao.

The Eight Great Vajra suddenly noticed an upper god late stage inexplicably appear among them, and judging by the looks of the ancestor, he seemed more like a spirit than a living person.

What's going on? Though not as experienced as Zhou Runfa, they still felt a bit scared upon encountering something that looked like a ghost.
