Chapter 1013: Chapter 1022
"Donât forget about the money, or else when I come to collect, itâll be double!" Lin Xi reminded the seven people with a grin from the backseat of Avrilâs car.
Avril, sitting in the passenger seat, held her head in her hands, while William, in the driverâs seat, looked utterly confused.
He had no idea what Lin Xi was talking about regarding the money.
The seven people standing outside the car had complex expressions on their faces at that moment.
The thought of billions made their heads spin instantly.
Although they didnât care about money, for a family to cough up that much all at once was no easy feat.
Besides, each family had so many people, involving many aspects.
Of course, if they asked, the family would certainly help to come up with it.
However, when the family needed something from them, they couldnât afford to shrug it off like they used to.
"Go back and gather the money!"
"Also, warn the people in the family not to mess with this person!"
"Because there isnât enough money for compensation otherwise!"
They murmured among themselves, then got into their respective cars.
As for the two elders of the Avril Clan, they randomly picked an empty car, which belonged to those who had died in the Holy Land.
Previously, they had considered getting into Avrilâs car, since they had arrived in that one.
But just as they were about to get in, Lin Xi said, "I donât like the car being too crowded."
With just that sentence, the two immediately abandoned the idea of getting into the car.
Kidding!
This was someone who, with an unknown technique, could knock out a mid-Innate-level beast in one move.
Someone like this!
He guessed that even their most elite family wouldnât dare provoke so easily.
Outside Hilton Hotel, William parked the car at the entrance.
The bellboy immediately approached, eagerly ready to open the door for Avril, but Avril shook her head and gestured to the back.
The bellboy then eagerly went to the back and helped Lin Xi open the door.
After all, anyone riding in such a luxury car was definitely no ordinary person.
"Not coming up for a bit?" Lin Xi asked.
Avril shook her head, "I have to head back quickly!"
"Itâs getting late. You can rest early. See you tomorrow!"
With that, she instructed William to drive away.
In the blink of an eye, the car vanished from the front of the hotel.
Lin Xi didnât insist, thanking the bellboy and giving him a tip of one hundred British Pounds before walking into the hotel.
Holding the hundred-pound tip, the bellboy was overjoyed.
Itâs not every day he got such a generous tip.
Indeed, this was surely a wealthy person.
He thought to himself, determined to serve with even greater diligence next time he sees Lin Xi.
In reality, Lin Xi was indeed wealthy.
His assets were likely now over ten billion RMB, all in liquid cash.
He might very well have the largest liquid cash reserve of anyone in the world.
Back outside the presidential suite, he rang the bell.
After a while, a staff member of Xie Ziqiâs came to open the door.
Upon seeing Lin Xi, the staff member immediately covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief, and stammered, "Y-y-you, how come youâre here?"
With that, she turned and left.
Lin Xi, "...."
He had only been gone for less than 24 hours, was it really that dramatic?
Could it be that Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi were too worried about him?
He shook his head, thinking Dili Bare wasnât that kind of person, whereas Xie Ziqi maybe was.
Thinking this, he stepped into the room.
Upon entering the living room, he was stunned.
On the sofa sat several people, all with expressions of disbelief.
Moreover, Luo Susu and Jones were there too.
"Whatâs up with you all?" He couldnât help but ask, "Did you really worry about me so much after not even a day away?"
Pausing here, he showed a smug expression, "So I am this important to you all!"
"Or perhaps you just canât be away from me for even a moment!"
Of course, he was clearly addressing the girls.
As for the others, they just listened quietly, and very sensibly left the living room, leaving only the four girls with Lin Xi.
"Where did you go?" Dili Bare asked first, "And why couldnât we reach you on the phone?"
Lin Xi was surprised, the phone was unreachable?
While in the Holy Land, he had power.
Now, he took out his phone from his pocket and realized it had run out of battery at some point.
"Hold on, Iâll charge it first!" he said.
The four girls, not looking too pleased, watched as Lin Xi searched for a charging cable in the hall, plugged it in, poured himself a glass of water, and even asked if they wanted some water too.
Then he sat down, looked at Dili Bare, and asked, "What did you say just now?"
"I got busy and forgot all about it!"
Dili Bare, "...."
Xie Ziqi smiled without saying anything.
Jones frowned, feeling this kid was a bit annoying.
But Luo Susu just smirked, as if she already knew Lin Xiâs personality well.
In fact, she did know Lin Xi was an annoying guy.
Eventually, even Dili Bare gave up questioning Lin Xi.
This jerk, you couldnât get anything out of him, and asking would only make you angrier.
They had searched for him the entire day, after all.
While they knew he was likely fine, the sudden disappearance was still frightening.
Not to mention, they had indeed offended quite a few people this time, including gangs and other families.
However, they still felt relieved now.
Although they didnât know what the jerk was up to, at least he was safe, and that was enough.
"By the way, youâre covering the plane tickets!" Dili Bare said, pulling Xie Ziqi along as they were about to go to sleep, "Our tickets for today were already bought because of you!"
"We didnât have time to refund the tickets, so theyâre all wasted!"
As Luo Susu was about to return to her room, she also said, "You cover my ticket too!"
"First class, mind you!"
Watching the girls leave, Lin Xi couldnât help but complain to himself, "MMP, he hadnât even flown first class himself!"
But thankfully, he had made billions on this trip, or heâd be really upset.
With that amount, a few plane tickets were nothing!
Thinking this, he headed to his own room, lay down, and entered the Jade Pendant Space, planning to start his daily practice.
But as soon as he entered the Jade Pendant Space, he was completely stunned.
