Chapter 390: Hall of Fame Master
Although Daniel's eyes were fixed on Liu Chi, he had already begun to look around the room out of the corner of his eye. The neatly arranged books and documents on the table did not arouse any suspicion, but Qin Xue, who was tied to a reclining chair, attracted his attention.
As the door closed, Daniel immediately asked,
"Boss, how is your injury? That mermaid kid is so powerful, I'm afraid even I can't defeat him."
"Humph! You really underestimate me, your elder brother. You don't think my old bones can't move, do you? I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, the position of clan leader will be yours sooner or later."
Liu Chi said with a smile, his tone and expression were exactly the same as the fishman leader, and even Daniel's thoughts were discovered through the leader's notes.
Hearing Liu Chi's words, Daniel immediately half-knelt down, leaned forward, and admitted his mistake.
"I dare not. I have no second thoughts about you, big brother. Rebellion and usurpation of the throne will never happen."
Hearing Daniel's almost admitting defense, Liu Chi laughed out loud. It seems that every population will fight for power. The only difference is that one fights openly while the other fights secretly.
"Okay, you and I are both smart people, there's no need to play tricks on me. After this battle, I have decided to retire. Then this chair will naturally be yours. But I can't interfere with whether those people below obey you or not."
After hearing this, Daniel suddenly became excited, and his expression changed from humble to flattering.
"Boss is right. You should just enjoy your life from now on. Leave the affairs of the tribe to me. But before that, you want to discuss the affairs of the sea tribe with me, right?"
Daniel stood up from the ground consciously and sat on a chair beside him. Except that the chair was shorter than Liu Chi's, he was almost talking to Liu Chi face to face.
Faced with Daniel's self-conscious rubbing of his nose on his face, Liu Chi did not express much, but continued to speak along with what he said.
"Tell me, what do you think about the invasion of the sea tribe this time?"
Daniel smiled and said,
"I don't care if they are from the sea or not. If they dare to come, I will kill them one by one. If they come in a group, I will kill them all."
Because of Daniel's words, Liu Chi labeled him a reckless man in his heart, so Liu Chi continued,
"Since the sea tribe wants to return to the deep sea, they must have made sufficient preparations. Moreover, they cannot be unaware of the strength of the alliance. The next enemy will only be stronger than now. Are you sure?"
After hearing what Liu Chi said, Daniel's expression calmed down, but he seemed to remember something and laughed immediately.
"Aren't you here? If his sea tribe commits another offense, won't everything be solved with your presence?"
With these words, Liu Chi labeled him as a coward, so Liu Chi continued to ask,
"If I can't come because of something, will you swear to defend my people to the death?"
Daniel became excited after hearing this. He knew what these words meant. Before taking office, the new patriarch would be given ideological education by the previous patriarch, and only after passing the education would he be qualified to become the patriarch.
So Daniel said without any hesitation: "I will defend my people until my death."
Liu Chi clapped his hands solemnly to express his appreciation for Daniel, but in Liu Chi's opinion, this was just an effect performed to match the plot. In Liu Chi's mind, Daniel was not qualified to sit in this chair.
Considering the large number of races in the ocean, it is impossible to assign them all to the sea clan for management, so the only option is self-government. This question was just Liu Chi's confirmation of this point.
"Very good. If the sea tribe really attacks us, what measures will you take to protect the people of the tribe?"
Liu Chi's question immediately aroused Daniel's enthusiasm. He gradually shifted the topic from his own plan to his reform plan after taking the position of patriarch.
Just when Daniel was talking happily, Liu Chi, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly turned pale.
"Go ahead. That's all for today. I'll let you know if anything comes up. Before that, I want to have a good rest. After all, this battle has cost me a lot of pain."
Seeing Liu Chi's face suddenly change, Daniel realized that he had said too much and made the injured boss feel uncomfortable. He immediately nodded and said,
"Then you have a good rest, boss. I'll tell my brothers not to disturb you!"
After finishing speaking, Daniel looked at Qin Xue beside him, and his tone became a little questioning.
"What should we do with this mermaid? Do you want me to take her away and lock her up?"
"This is the princess of the sea tribe. Her illusions will probably affect the people in the tribe without my control. Why don't I take her with me as a hostage?"
Daniel, who had just been fed by Liu Chi, didn’t think so much. Now his mind was full of Liu Chi’s goodness, and he didn’t doubt him at all, so he quickly cheered.
"Okay, okay! I'll go down first. I heard that the sea creatures taste good. Boss, you should taste them when you have time!"
After saying that, Daniel, full of expectation, walked out of the door lightly and closed the door carefully.
Without saying a word, Liu Chi locked the door. While returning to his normal self, he also lifted the restrictions on Qin Xue.
Turning to look at Qin Xue sitting on the chair, Liu Chi was startled and asked quickly,
"What are you doing?"
Qin Xue stretched out her soft tongue with a seductive look on her face and licked her red lips in circles.
Qin Xue felt that she should be very charming at this moment, but in Liu Chi's opinion, it was just like a little kid licking his lips after eating spicy strips. Combined with Qin Xue's body movements, Liu Chi was confused as to what she was doing.
"Don't you want to have a taste of the sea people? This princess is ready to sacrifice herself, Lord Sea King~~!"
After understanding Qin Xue's meaning, Liu Chi held his forehead helplessly and shook his head gently.
"Alas! Let's think about how to break through the other six tribes. It seems impossible for the sea tribe to regain its position as the overlord of the seabed."
Liu Chi paused, and the smile on his face reappeared.
"However, with me here, this impossible task will become simple."
Before Qin Xue could say anything, Liu Chi immediately raised his hand and stopped her.
A bubble suddenly appeared in the room, and in just a moment it expanded to cover most of the room.
"You sleep on the bed and I sleep on the sofa, that's it."
"what?"
Qin Xue was still surprised when Liu Chi was already lying on the sofa.
Seeing Liu Chi lying on the sofa, Qin Xue glanced at the big bed in the other room and immediately walked towards the sofa.
"I'm afraid. I want to sleep with you. If you don't agree, I'll just sleep on the floor next to you."
Liu Chi half sat up, nodded, took out the quilt from the space ring and threw it to Qin Xue.
"Since you're scared, just sleep on the floor next to me."
"Humph!"
Qin Xue took the bedding, but she didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, she was very angry. Liu Chi didn't feel sorry for her at all and actually slept on the sofa while letting her sleep on the floor.
