Chapter 18 Be Smarter, Tiger

“Bigwigs? Who?” Tie Xiong asked leisurely.

“Steve Paulman from the State of Nona...”

The first name had already shocked Tie Xiong, and his expression changed dramatically.

“That engineer? Why is he coming to Stillwater?”

“I haven’t finished, Dad,” Tie Linfeng reminded him.

“Not only him but also John Martin from the State of Cona, Dean Harris from Heukwok, Elvis Presley from Sicily...”

Those names shocked Tie Xiong again and again.

Every single name could raise a mighty uproar in any city.

After being taken aback for a long time, Tie Xiong asked, “Anything to do with terrorism?”

“Hurry. Inform relevant departments to get prepared.”

Tie Linfeng swallowed and answered, “No. Not terrorism.”

“They applied to the relevant departments for the air routes of their private jets almost simultaneously.”

“They promised to benefit our country by using all their influences of their territories.”

“Also, they guaranteed they would never bother the citizens. Their only purpose of this trip is to see a doctor.”

“See a doctor?” Tie Xiong was confused.

Tie Linfeng muttered, “Yeah. Sort of.”

“Besides, all the celebrities qualified to wear the Tulip badge are planning to come to Stillwater in the name of traveling or investment.”

“They aim to propose to a man for marriage.”

“Propose to a man for marriage?” Tie Xiong was more baffled.

Tie Linfeng swallowed again and added excitedly, “All their targets are one man.”

“I tried hard to get the information. It’s said Primal, the master of Ghost Door Thirteen Needles, has come to Stillwater.”

“Dad, it’s Primal, the owner of Hall of Primal and Primal’s Gem.”

“Isn’t it breaking news?”

“If we can find him and ask him to use Ghost Door Thirteen Needles, you’ll be cured.”

Tie Linfeng failed to repress his excitement, looking like a silly young man who had never seen the world.

He had been calm and lowkey for several decades. However, Primal’s name excited him.

Tie Xiong, however, calmed down.

He glanced at Hall of Warriors and remarked, “I heard Primal has Twelve Zodiac Generals working for him.”

“They were named according to the zodiac signs, including General Rat, General Ox, General Tiger, General Hare, General Dragon, General Cobra, General Horse, General Ram, General Monkey, General Rooster, General Hound, and General Hog....”

Tie Linfeng replied, “Yes. Rumors have it. Whether true or not and who those twelve generals are, no one knows the details.”

“What’s wrong, Dad?”

Tie Xiong tried hard to repress his excitement. Gritting his teeth, he reminded his son, “Block the news. Wait for my command.”

With those words, he almost staggered to return to the Hall of Warriors.

Then he overheard Qin Tian speaking on the phone.

“As I said, I’m dealing with some personal issues. No, I don’t need you guys.”

“If you dare come to Stillwater with your troops without permission, I’ll teach you a lesson,” he said jokingly.

A man pretended to be aggrieved and answered, “Boss, I’ll be obedient.”

“Alas... Wang Bonian is indeed lucky this time.”

“Besides, General Dragon and General Hound have secretly sent people to Stillwater without informing you.”

“Hare suddenly changed his global performance route. He’ll hold the most critical concert in Stillwater.”

“Bah! They are all two-faced. All want to fawn over you.”

“I gotta go, Boss. I’ll get drunk to express my objection.”

Qin Tian chuckled, “You’d better not restrain yourself from drinking. Last time, I helped you win against Sixteen Demons, but my intuition told me they would return soon.”

“They would be more difficult to deal with.”

“Be smarter, you little tiger. I cannot always cover your ass.”

Qin Tian ended the call, looking at Tie Xiong with a smile.

Tie Xiong parted his lips but couldn’t utter a word. His mind was jumbled.

The information about Hall of Primal, Qin Tian, Ghost Door Thirteen Needles, Primal’s Gem, and Tiger all twisted in his mind.

Qin Tian said, “General Tie, let me repeat. I don’t have much time. I have the new version of Seven Injuries Fist to help you with your recovery. Will you learn it or not?”

With a loud bang, Tie Xiong knelt to him.

Around an hour later, Qin Tian walked out of the Hall of Warriors.

Tie Ningshuang rushed to him hurriedly. Failing to see her grandfather, she blocked his way and snapped, “Qin Tian, where is my grandfather?”

Clenching her fists, she glared at Qin Tian in anger.

Qin Tian sneered, “I never promise not to hit a little girl. You’d better stop provoking me.”

“A little girl? How dare you!” Tie Ningshuang was furious. She stood upright subconsciously as if she was showing him she wasn’t a little girl.

“Mind your manners, Ningshuang!” Tie Xiong shouted at her angrily at the door.

He ordered, “Kneel to Mr. Qin and apologize.”

“Grandpa!” Tie Ningshuang gaped at him and was about to retort.

“I said kneel!” Tie Xiong roared.

Tie Ningshuang was dumbfounded as she had never been scolded by her grandfather so fiercely.

Tears sprung to her eyes. However, she dared not to be against Tie Xiong. Feeling humiliated, she knelt to Qin Tian and muttered, “I’m sorry...”

Tie Xiong walked to Qin Tian, bowed at him, and said apologetically, “My granddaughter is decent, but she’s spoiled.”

“Mr. Qin, if you don’t mind, you can keep her as your assistant. What do you think?”

Tie Ningshuang widened her eyes in fear.

She was the most famous celebrity in Stillwater, but her grandfather wanted to send her to be this man’s assistant.

She felt aggrieved and furious, worried that she would live in Hell from then on.

Subconsciously, she didn’t think any man could resist her.

Much to her surprise, Qin Tian darted at her indifferently, shook his head, and refused, “I’m too busy.”

Then he drifted toward the gate.

Disappointment appeared on Tie Xiong’s face. After returning to his senses, he immediately bid Qin Tian farewell, “Take care, Mr. Qin.”

He bowed deeply and didn’t dare to stand upright until Qin Tian vanished outside the gate.

“Who on earth is he, Grandpa?”

“Why did you do that to me?” Tie Ningshuang stared at him tearfully as if she had never felt so embarrassed before.

Tie Xiong looked at her with mixed feelings, but he dared not tell her Qin Tian’s real identity.

Shaking his head, he sighed, “Silly girl! Alas... Our Tie family isn’t THAT lucky.”

“You’ll know what you’ve missed in the future.”

Qin Tian kept lowkey, so Tie Xiong dared not to send anyone to escort him.

Therefore, Qin Tian left Tie’s Manor alone. Shortly after, he noticed that he had been stalked.

They shouldn’t be anyone from the Tie family, so he wondered if the Su family had sent the stalkers.

Qin Tian sneered.

‘I’ve put Reaper’s Gem in your house. What else do you want?’

People always knew Reaper’s Gem and Primal’s Gem represented the extremes of right and wrong, but only a few knew both belonged to one owner, Qin Tian.
