Chapter 348 - 172: Mobilization for War (Part 2)
But who knew the other side had such a powerful trump card? If my big brother came across it, he’d suffer from carelessness once in a while too.
Unfortunately, I signed a contract with Su Jiameng, which prevents me from spreading the word about her telekinesis. Otherwise, I’d subtly warn my brother to be on guard. This Su Jiameng is just too strange. If you underestimate her, the consequences are disastrous.
Gu Ningzhi chatted with his big brother for a while, then suddenly his brother asked, "How strong is Xiaosan?"
Xiaosan? Of course, he wasn’t referring to a third party in marriage Naxi, but to the third young master of the Gu family, Gu Ningxuan!
"He’s pretty capable. Rumor has it that among the three of us brothers, he has the best talent. There’s some truth to that, it’s not just gossip." Gu Ningzhi scratched his seaweed-like hair and said, "But he’s still too immature right now. I’m afraid he can’t help you..."
Gu Ningyi’s doings over the years were somewhat known to Gu Ningzhi. As the eldest from a military political family mixing in with the star thieves, his guard was like stars in the sky. Whatever he wanted to do was always more difficult than others, with much more resistance.
However, his big brother has the ability. Over sixty years in the making, he developed from initially fighting alone to now dominating the Star Thief Circle, forming a tripartite alliance with two other forces. Although he hasn’t experienced it firsthand, Gu Ningzhi could imagine how many difficulties were there in between.
No matter how loyal his subordinates, they can’t compare to a blood-related younger brother. Gu Ningzhi thought his big brother was asking to gauge this third brother’s strength, then recruit him. Gu Ningzhi wasn’t against this move. After all, compared to staying as a mechanic in a restaurant, following his big brother as a subordinate was more promising.
However, the Gu family brothers have always had their pride. All three of them are like that. Don’t be fooled by how easygoing Gu Xiaosan seems; he’s simply an easy-to-deceive young man. But once big brother expresses such intentions, everything changes in taste.
Gu Ningzhi wanted to wait and see if this brother could find his own path in adversity, instead of conceding to others and losing his pride... even if that other person is his own brother.
Gu Ningyi translated this piece, and his fingers trembled as he wanted to type a reply, suddenly feeling a sense of powerlessness. He wondered if his second brother had been too spoiled, even his mind seemed to have shrunk, coming up with such absurd and idiotic thoughts!
The eldest Gu young master becoming a star thief was shocking enough. Besides his own subordinates, who in the star thief circle didn’t guard against him? Now bringing in young master Gu San to be a star thief... isn’t this blatantly telling people that becoming a star thief has ulterior motives?
So all those serious inferences and guesses were just completely overthought by "Brain-Filler" Gu Ningzhi.
"We don’t need him over for now. The situation here is even more complicated than expected. Xiaosan, being raised crooked by Old Man Gu, probably won’t adapt to this environment." Gu Ningyi appears cold to others, but no one knows this guy has a hidden trait — chatterbox! Once the conversation starts, he can go on and on!
Young Master Gu Er silently complained. Which of the three brothers wasn’t brought up by Old Man Gu? The eldest was also raised crooked, right?
But on this point, the two brothers agreed. Although initially raised crooked by Old Man Gu, their determined selves later straightened themselves out, and now they are as straight as flourishing talents.
"After years of planning, it’s close to maturity. The closer it gets, the more patience is needed." Gu Ningyi didn’t linger on this topic for long. He continued, "I’ve heard before that Xiaosan’s combat prowess is pretty good. I’m keen to see it firsthand."
Young Master Gu Er scoffed, this wasn’t just a desire to witness it. This was clearly a desire to use the fact that he’s lived sixty more years to utterly suppress and breathe out his grievances!
In essence, big brother, you’re irked that people say Xiaosan’s talent surpasses yours, aren’t you? Thinking that, Young Master Gu Er silently lit a candle for poor Xiaosan.
However, neither Young Master Gu Er nor Eldest Young Master Gu expected that bullying poor Young Master Gu San wasn’t going to be easy. His crew had Queen Su, who was fiercely protective and extremely powerful in combat!
She wouldn’t stand by while her employee gets bullied by some inexplicable man! To pluck this little flower (Gu San: ...), one would need to display strength that she approves!
"He’s not a match for you yet... If he doesn’t get wasted, in another twenty or thirty years, he might catch up to you..." Young Master Gu Er said leisurely, "Fighting him now is totally bullying, be careful or he might cry on you."
"Even given another sixty years, he might not succeed." Eldest Young Master Gu was very confident in his own strength.
But if these two brothers knew that when their younger brother upgraded to version 2.0, boosted with telekinesis, he could outmatch the two of them, they’d probably be so frustrated they’d vomit blood.
Yes, bully him as much as you can before the younger brother grows up, it sounds wonderful!
Two days before the competition, Su Jiameng went on a shopping spree in the mecha commercial street on the virtual net. After spending half the night tinkering, she prepared everything, reverted to her previous state, interacted with her baby, processed Clay Ore, and trained...
She had a great night’s sleep, then energetically went for warm-up training, took a bath, and logged onto the virtual network!
Opening the temporarily assembled team channel, Su Jiameng shouted through a loudspeaker, "Wake up, little ones, today Mountain King will take you to pick fresh little flowers~~~~ Don’t miss it if you walk by!"
