After my wife pulled out my oxygen tube, I was born again

Xi La's eyes suddenly fixed on Xia Liangwu who was walking towards her. Her lips were tightly closed, and there was a trace of shock that was difficult to conceal on her face.

Different from the direct hostility when facing Xia Xiaoman, the appearance of Xia Liangwu made Xi La feel a more complicated emotion——

It was a feeling mixed with fear, curiosity and uneasiness!

Xia Liangwu, this name lingers in Xi La's mind like a nightmare.

A legend in the business circle, the brains behind the Xia family, behind every shocking move of Xia Xiaoman, there is the unfathomable shadow of Xia Liangwu.

Not only can she provide Xia Xiaoman with a steady stream of financial support in business, but she can also plan incredible action plans for him at critical moments.

Xi La clearly remembered that it was precisely because of Xia Liangwu's existence that the Destiny Organization was forced to split from a unified structure into three parts: the Illuminati, the Theosophical Church, and the Knights.

This is not a simple refinement of functions, but an attempt to find a delicate balance between destiny and the Xia family——

A balance that ensures that neither side is completely destroyed!

If you explain it in the language of low emotional intelligence, it is to ensure that you will not be wiped out by the other party at once!

This has always been a shame for Tianming, a shame that can never be healed!

But now, these two legendary figures, one civilized and one martial, actually appeared in this competition at the same time, and Xi La couldn't help but feel a haze hanging over her heart.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions, but her slightly trembling hands betrayed her true thoughts.

"Xia Liangwu..." Xi La muttered this name in a low voice, as if trying to use this name to unlock the secret behind the Xia family.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoman and Xia Liangwu had already walked in front of her.

Xia Xiaoman still looked unruly and didn't even bother to talk nonsense to Xi La anymore.

Xia Liangwu smiled and nodded to Xila, as if to say: "Xila? Long time no see!"

Xila forced herself to smile and responded: "It's been a long time indeed, Miss Xia. But I didn't expect you to appear here."

Xia Liangwu smiled softly: "What? Miss Xila doesn't want to see me?"

Xi La shook his head gently: "No, it's not that I don't want to see you. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I can meet you or not. What matters is the purpose of your coming here. I want to understand the Xia family's role in this big event. In this comparison, what role do you want to play?"

Xia Xiaoman took over the conversation: "The purpose of our coming here is very simple, just to watch the battle. Of course, if you are destined to be weak and talkative, then I may not be able to help but give you a slap in the face."

Xi La smiled slightly when he heard this: "What about Mr. Xia?"

Xia Liangwu shook her head: "I came here by invitation. I am now the vice president of the Dongwang Chamber of Commerce. After all, for such a big event, it is only right that the Dongwang Group, as our strategic ally, comes to cheer. "

This kind of answer is the most troublesome for Xi La.

What does she want?

Xiela knew in his heart that this competition would never be as simple as it seemed!

But she also knows now is not the time to reveal everything. She needed to stay calm and bide her time.

Xiela's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, but she had to persevere!

If she gives in now, Tianming will lose her face.

Thinking of this, Xi La turned around and glanced at Song Yang with a complicated expression: "Mr. Song, you are really very scheming!"

Faced with Xila's strange temper, Song Yang did not get angry, but chose to respond with a smile. There was a trace of calmness and calmness in his smile, as if to say: "I understand your emotions, but I will not be affected by you."

After entering the cabin, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Song Yang and Xi La sat opposite each other, preparing to start discussions before the competition.

There was a bit of provocation in Xila's eyes, and she seemed to be intentionally trying to cause trouble for Song Yang.

"Mr. Song, this competition is of great significance to our destiny."

Xi La spoke with a cold voice: "Therefore, I have some requests, and I hope Mr. Song can seriously consider them."

Song Yang nodded slightly and signaled Xi La to continue speaking.

He expected that Xiela would not give in easily, but he also wanted to hear what demands she would make.

Xiela began to list her demands one by one: "First of all, as a competition venue, the Dongwang must ensure absolute fairness. Any favoritism or fraud will not be tolerated by us."

Song Yang nodded in agreement: "This is natural. Justice and fairness are the basic principles of the game."

Xila continued: "Secondly, regarding the life safety of the contestants. I don't want to see anyone being needlessly injured during the competition. Therefore, the rules of the competition must strictly limit violence and ensure adequate safety measures."

Song Yang frowned slightly: "Miss Xila, there will inevitably be risks in competitions. We will try our best to ensure safety, but we cannot completely eliminate risks."

Xila said without doubt: "I understand, but the risk must be controlled within an acceptable range. If there are casualties due to the game, it will be something we cannot bear."

Song Yang was silent for a moment, and then said, "I will consider your opinions and strengthen security measures."

Xila did not stop there, she continued to make more demanding demands: "Also, regarding the freedom of movement of the contestants. I don't want them to have any restrictions during the competition. They should be able to freely communicate with others, cooperate or seek help."

Song Yang felt a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid this is not realistic. The competition needs certain rules and restrictions to ensure the smooth progress of the competition."

Xi La insisted: "But excessive restrictions will deprive the participants of their autonomy and affect the fairness and enjoyment of the competition. I hope Mr. Song can find a balance point."

Song Yang took a deep breath and tried to be patient: "I will try my best to consider your opinions and find a reasonable solution."

Finally, Xila put forward her most demanding request: "Last point, I hope to see the list of participants and specific personnel information first. Only after my review and approval can they participate in the competition."

Song Yang finally couldn't keep calm anymore, and his face became a little ugly: "Miss Xila, this request may be too much. The entry list and personnel information are the internal affairs of our Taoist sect, and you have no right to interfere."

Xi La was unmoved: "Mr. Song, I am just making my request. If you cannot meet my request, then this competition may not be able to continue."

Song Yang and Xila's eyes met in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xilati's request was simply unreasonable.

Xila's request to first review the entry list and specific personnel information was an extremely sensitive and substantive problem for Song Yang and Daomen.

Behind this request, actually lies Xila's desire to control the game and strategic intentions.

If Daomen must first submit the entry list and personnel information to Xiela for review, then this means that Daomen will no longer have the final say in the selection of players.

It is entirely possible for Xila to refuse certain players to participate for various reasons, thus making Daomen passive before the start of the game.

Under such circumstances, players carefully selected and trained by Dao Men may not be able to play due to Xila's personal preferences or prejudices. This is undoubtedly a great injustice to Dao Men.

Moreover, by reviewing the list, Xila can not only understand the overall strength and characteristics of the Taoist contestants, but also make targeted arrangements for Tianming Fang's candidates based on this information.

This strategy of "know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles" is extremely beneficial in competitive games.

However, when this tactic is used to manipulate the outcome of a match, it becomes an unfair tactic.

Xila can completely take advantage of this opportunity to select the Tianming side players who are most likely to defeat the Taoist players, thereby increasing the chances of the Tianming side winning.

Finally, Xila's request also implies a threat.

If Daomen does not accept this request, then Xila may declare that the game cannot be played for various reasons.

This is undoubtedly a huge pressure for Daomen.

The abacus was ringing loudly, but Naihe met Song Yang.

After listening to a series of harsh demands made by Xi La, Song Yang couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

He is fully aware of the absurdity and excessiveness of these demands, and he also understands the intention behind Xi La.

So, he decided not to be tactful, but to directly fight back.

He stared at Sila sharply and said in a cold tone: "Miss Sila, I really cannot agree with these requests of yours."

"Inviting a party to fight is destiny, not Taoism. You have to understand that if you want to fight, fight. If you don't dare to fight, then don't fight. Why do you need to play these shameless provocations? If you can't afford to fight or lose, then it's Directly announce to the outside world that you are destined to stop fighting, and there is no need for our Taoist sect to play with you."

"Our sect does not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble either!"

"Fight if you want. There is no referee in this game. There is only one rule, no hot weapons. The rest is arbitrary. Life or death depends on destiny. I guarantee that before the game, no one will pose any threat to the people of destiny, but most of them This is not a competition, this is a life and death battle, otherwise what would you do on the high seas?"

"I can guarantee one thing. Our country, China, will never disdain to use dirty means to win."

Song Yang's words made Xila's face turn blue and white, but she still tried to stay calm and retorted: "Mr. Song, you misunderstood. I just want to ensure the fairness of the competition..."

However, Song Yang did not give her a chance to finish her sentence and directly interrupted her: "To fight, or not to fight? Now please give us an accurate reply!"

Song Yang's words left Xi La speechless.

Song Yang has now forced her into a corner all of a sudden!

Fight, she is too risky.

If we don't fight, even if the people of Tianming are completely defeated, who will be afraid of them?

Xila took a deep breath, then nodded: "Okay, when will the fight be given?"

"Everyone arrived directly. Let's take a rest. Tomorrow night, we will start the competition!"
