The Beautiful County Magistrate-Chapter 763
"Hahaha..."
Mo Kui burst into laughter, certain that this was the funniest joke he had ever heard in his life.
A small-town official, no bigger than a sesame seed, actually had the audacity to make such an arrogant proclamation that he would be unkind to him—what a grand delusion he had.
It was hilarious, truly fucking hilarious.
He himself was the Family Head of the wealthiest and most powerful family in Wangdong Province, and Xu Qianli was nothing but a petty town official. An ant presuming to overturn an elephant—where did he get such confidence?
Mo Hai said, "Mo Kui, you’re too occupied with laughing. The night is long, and dreams are many—hurry up and make your move. Not just Mo Hongyan, take out Mo Yudie and this Xu Qianli as well!"
Xu Qianli replied, "Taking me down? I’m afraid you don’t have the strength to do so. Alright, you may proceed."
Proceed? How? Who would make the move? Mo Kui and Mo Hai were utterly puzzled. Could this kid have gone mad?
Just as the two men and a group of Mo Family disciples were puzzled, several women suddenly rushed out from the crowd and pounced on those Martial Arts Masters that Mo Kui had hired with a hefty sum.
So that’s how it was; that guy had actually arranged for backup.
Mo Kui chuckled to himself. The men he’d hired were real Martial Arts Masters, each possessed with Inner Strength. Could they be taken down by a few women? Impossible.
Soon, Mo Kui’s face began to look ugly.
He saw that those so-called experts he had invited were easily taken down by the women under Xu Qianli’s command, and they couldn’t even withstand a single move.
In the blink of an eye, in less than ten seconds, over a dozen experts lay sprawling on the ground like dead dogs, completely finished.
With a whoosh, Mo Kui felt a chill in his back.
Damn it! So many masters taken down by a few women—these women were frighteningly strong, too scary for words.
A mere small-town official—where did he get so many formidable women to serve him?
These women were maids given to Xu Qianli by Old Madame Bai, carefully selected from among the young Bai Family members, each one a recipient of the Bai Family’s true teachings, exceptionally strong. For them, taking down a few nobodies was nothing.
After handling the situation, they came to Xu Qianli’s side. Taking the lead was Bai Muqing, "Son-in-law, they are but trash. Why bother to take action yourself? Just command us, and we could easily handle it."
Xu Qianli said, "I’m just bored, so I thought I’d join in on the fun. You all did well. When I have time, I will surely reward you handsomely."
With his words, Xu Qianli deliberately winked at Bai Muqing.
Bai Muqing’s heartbeat quickened. This rascal, he’s definitely scheming something.
Damn it, you can’t beat me in cultivation—don’t even think about touching me!
Mo Hongyan noticed the exchange of glances between the two and thought to herself that they surely had a thing for each other.
Strange to say, Xu Qianli had not yet acknowledged his relations with the Xu Family and the Chen Family; how did he come to have such powerful bodyguards?
These women were not only terrifyingly strong but also each more beautiful than the last—stunning beauties, one and all. The one who had just spoken to Xu Qianli was a breathtakingly gorgeous woman, her beauty no less than that of Mo Hongyan. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Also peculiar was where these beautiful women had come from. Surely not from the Bai Family—known as the foremost Martial Arts family in the land?
The look on Mo Kui’s face could not have been uglier.
He really thought he had Mo Hongyan and the others cornered, that he could easily wipe them out.
Who knew it would turn out like this.
His own experts had been easily defeated, which showed just how formidable Xu Qianli’s forces were. If Xu Qianli said the word, wouldn’t his own life be over?
No, absolutely not. The vast wealth and power he was about to grasp, as well as his own life, he couldn’t let them slip away just like that.
Swallowing hard, he tried his best to remain calm. Mo Kui said, "Young man, let’s make a deal. I didn’t know your strength before, that’s why I treated you that way. I know I was wrong. As long as you show mercy this time and stand by my side, I can promise you anything you want. Take Mo Hongyan and Mo Yudie, the two beauties, for yourself, and I can give you half of the Mo Family’s wealth. Oh, and since you’re not from the political sphere, our Mo Family is very powerful. We can support you strongly and help you climb to high positions. We can ensure you govern a region before you turn forty."
The situation had reversed, greatly disadvantaging him. The quick-witted Mo Kui immediately thought of a solution.
To win him over!
No matter how formidable the kid was, he was still a man. Mo Kui didn’t believe the guy could resist power, wealth, or beautiful women.
Offering such generous benefits and showing such sincerity, as long as Xu Qianli was tempted, he could get past the current predicament.
As for the future, that was something to be dealt with later.
After waiting a while and seeing that Xu Qianli hadn’t responded, Mo Kui asked, "What do you say?"
"So, half of the Mo Family’s wealth and the two great beauties, Mo Hongyan and Mo Yudie, are to be mine, plus your support in helping me reach a high position?"
"Ha ha ha, the Mo Family really is generous, isn’t it? The stakes you’re offering are quite substantial."
"I won’t talk about anything else, but Mo Hongyan and Mo Yudie alone show serious intent."
"However, all that stuff is already mine. Why would I need you to give it to me?"
Xu Qianli said this brazenly and beckoned Mo Hongyan over.
Mo Hongyan, obediently, came over and enthusiastically threw herself into Xu Qianli’s arms, gifting him a fervent kiss in front of everyone from the Mo Family.
Since she had already decided to be Xu Qianli’s woman, since she belonged to him, there was nothing to hide.
Seeing this scene, Mo Kui and the Mo Family youths felt their scalps tingle and their faces turned extremely ugly.
That guy Xu Qianli had managed to secure both Mo Hongyan and Mo Yudie. He was really something.
No wonder he took Mo Hongyan’s side; the two of them had obviously gotten together long ago.
Mo Kui had thought to tempt him with Mo Hongyan and Mo Yudie as incentives, but it turned out the guy had already won over both beauties, big and small. Mo Kui’s offers amounted to nothing but a joke.
Facing this twist, Mo Kui felt a headache coming on and his whole body was uncomfortable, not to mention how unbearable it was.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have made a move today.
According to previous investigations, Mo Yudie didn’t have a boyfriend. How did someone as formidable as Xu Qianli suddenly appear today?
What should he do now? What was the right move?
Having no other options, Mo Kui said, "Alright, I know I was wrong. I won’t fight for the position of Family Head anymore. I can even leave the Mo Family; just let me go. Sister-in-law, after all, I am your husband’s brother. For his sake, please spare me this one time. I beg of you. I know I was wrong, truly, I know it. I’ll never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this once."
Temptation had failed, so Mo Kui had no choice but to make a final plea for mercy.
In the current situation, he had to save his own life first and then find a way to deal with that wretched woman later.
