Tara hurriedly reached out to grab the bag, then opened it and saw that it indeed contained a white transparent crystal that resembled a crow's skull. Her face lit up with joy.
"Don't worry, in a month's time, I will bring their heads to you."
Tara said excitedly.
"A month is too long. I'll give you fifteen days at most. Fifteen days later, I want to see you bring their heads to me in person."
The Black Dragon King said with some dissatisfaction.
"Fifteen days won't do, Black Dragon King. You know that the ancient Eastern country is different from other countries. I need some time to get close to him, preferably to gain his trust. Only then will I have an opportunity to strike him at close range."
Tara explained to him.
The Black Dragon King pondered for a while and finally agreed to Tara's request for a month.
If the Grand Lord who dealt with Ning Beichen back then were still alive and present, he would definitely recognize this woman as the blonde beauty who had tempted him to deal with Ning Beichen at that time.
...
Haizhou New City.
Ning Beichen was facing a middle-aged woman, and this middle-aged woman was being rather impolite to him.
"Are you the bodyguard named Ning Beichen who is by my daughter's side?"
The middle-aged woman asked Ning Beichen, with her hands on her hips.
"Aunt, hello. I am Ning Beichen."
Ning Beichen was also somewhat baffled, not knowing why Liu Yilin's mother would suddenly seek him out, and to meet him alone, avoiding Liu Yilin.
"Good? What's good about it? Don't try to butter me up."
Liu Yilin's mother looked at Ning Beichen from a condescending position, which left Ning Beichen quite confused.
"Aunt, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Ning Beichen could only ask.
"Misunderstanding?"
"Hmph!"
"You're tall enough, your physique is not bad, and your appearance is passable. However, you are just a bodyguard to my daughter. Don't harbor any foolish fantasies about her."
Liu Yilin's mother said impolitely to Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen finally understood Liu Yilin's mother's intentions. She was here to break them up. However, perhaps she had misunderstood. He had never expressed any interest in her daughter.
"Aunt, I think you've misunderstood. I..."
Just as Ning Beichen was about to explain to her that he had no intentions towards Liu Yilin, Liu Yilin's mother suddenly slapped a bank card in front of him and said,
"There's two hundred thousand in here. Take it and leave my daughter."
Ning Beichen was dumbfounded. To be honest, this was the first time he had experienced such a situation, and the first time he had been blackmailed with money. He had no experience, which made him feel like crying but also laughing. However, it also stirred a trace of anger in his heart.
He was King Yama Ning, not some mere bodyguard. If she weren't Liu Yilin's mother, Ning Beichen would have slapped her twice already.
"I'm sorry, I don't lack this little money."
Ning Beichen had originally intended to explain, but seeing her so overbearing, Ning Beichen simply couldn't be bothered to explain anything.
"Heh, I didn't expect you, a mere bodyguard, to be so greedy. Two hundred thousand is already your annual salary, isn't it? It's obvious you're after my daughter's wealth."
Liu Yilin's mother said, as if she had seen through Ning Beichen's thoughts, looking at him with disdain. Then, she took out another card and placed it in front of him, saying,
"Consider us unlucky, the Liu family. There's five hundred thousand in this card. Take it and get lost. You are forbidden from seeing my daughter again."
Ning Beichen didn't even look at her card or her face, which seemed like an act of charity. He stood up and said, "Aunt, I'm not here to beg. I don't need your money. If you have nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"Wait a minute, Ning Beichen. Do you really think you can be a toad wanting to eat swan meat? I'm telling you, it's impossible. As long as I'm here, I will never agree to let you marry my daughter. I'll make sure you get nothing."
Liu Yilin's mother stopped Ning Beichen, roaring in anger.
Ning Beichen shrugged his shoulders, leaving her with a dashing back view, enraging Liu Yilin's mother to the point of sputtering blood.
"With your attitude, you still want to be with my daughter? Unless I'm dead!"
Liu Yilin's mother stomped her high heels in anger, nearly breaking the heel.
"She's got a problem!"
Ning Beichen muttered, too lazy to bother with her attitude. He and Liu Yilin had nothing going on, and she wasn't his mother-in-law. Why should he be subservient to her?
Soon, this matter was put behind Ning Beichen. He continued to sing, dance, and occasionally tease the pretty girls in the company. Life went on as usual, exceptionally carefree.
If it weren't for the constant trouble caused by demons and monsters, Ning Beichen would have quite enjoyed this peaceful life.
However, Ning Beichen had definitely underestimated Liu Yilin's mother's tenacity. She had already begun to implement her grand plan to break them up.
A mere bodyguard, unequal in status, daring to covet her precious daughter? On what grounds?
Did he have the courage from Liang Jingru?
This was outrageous! He was turning the world upside down.
If this Ning Beichen were to set foot in the Liu family, she would write her name backward.
"Mom, what are you doing? I have to work. Can you go home?"
At this moment, in Liu Yilin's office, her mother sat on the sofa like a great Buddha, looking at her daughter like a rebel.
"No, I'll wait for you. We'll have lunch together later."
Liu Yilin's mother said.
"Mom, you watching me here makes me unable to focus on my work."
Liu Yilin said with a headache.
She didn't know what was wrong with her mother. She had never come to her company before, but starting today, it was as if she had come to work. She waited for her here early in the morning.
"Daughter, don't worry. I won't make a sound. I'll just sit here."
Liu Yilin's mother seemed determined. No matter how much Liu Yilin tried to persuade her, it was useless. Liu Yilin had no choice but to let her stay.
When it was time for lunch, Liu Yilin habitually went to call Ning Beichen to eat together, but her mother dragged her away.
Ning Beichen waited for a long time without seeing Liu Yilin, so he went to the restaurant to eat lunch alone.
"Ning Beichen, why are you here alone today? Where's the boss? Did you have a fight with her?"
A restaurant employee said jokingly.
"I don't know. She's the boss, and I'm an employee. How would I know about the boss's affairs?"
Ning Beichen said.
Actually, Ning Beichen knew Liu Yilin's whereabouts. After all, he was her bodyguard. Liu Yilin's mother appearing at the company was not something that could escape his eyes.
