The onlookers saw the white-bearded butler's expression calm down.
And they had also heard the other party's words clearly.
At that moment, they couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.
Who was it?
Someone who could save the old butler's life in just one minute?
Wasn't that too exaggerated?
At this time, the air seemed to stand still.
Everything around was extremely silent, making people inexplicably tense.
The white-bearded butler was the most on edge. Getting this phone call was difficult enough, and he didn't know if the other party would answer a strange number.
What the white-bearded butler didn't expect was that the call was answered after only two rings.
"Who? A donor?"
This short sentence alone revealed how greedy this person was.
That's right, the one who answered the call was Li Tianjiao himself.
And, obviously, this situation had happened quite a bit recently.
After all, Li Tianjiao's status was here. When a large amount of funds was needed for the construction of the safe zone, many people wanted to curry favor with him.
There had been many donors recently, and Li Tianjiao was on the front lines handling these matters.
It was clear that Li Tianjiao had become accustomed to wealthy strangers calling him.
The white-bearded butler was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly came to his senses, swallowing hard.
"Town Guardian King, I am the butler of the Zhao family in the capital, my name is Bai Zhuo. I have something very important to tell you today..."
"I don't want to hear nonsense, how much money are you donating?"
Li Tianjiao was a money-grubber, and recently he had emptied his pockets.
This was a great decision for Li Tianjiao.
At this time, besides conquering monsters and expanding territory on the front lines, the only thing left was money. His eyes were only on money!
If it wasn't for money, Li Tianjiao naturally wouldn't want to waste the other party's time.
The white-bearded butler trembled all over, knowing his time was running out, and gritted his teeth, "If this matter is resolved, all the assets of the Zhao family, currently the richest family in the capital, should be handed over. That would be tens of trillions!"
Li Tianjiao's eyes narrowed immediately: "Oh? Interesting, tell me about it!"
The white-bearded butler breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he very quickly revealed his current predicament, the things the Zhao family had done, all the leverage he held, and even directly transmitted some information.
The four people beside him were dumbfounded by what they saw.
What was going on?
Town Guardian King?
Who was that?
This was a very distant title for them!
After all, the existence of the Elder Council was even more secretive and mysterious now, extremely low-key, and not just anyone could understand it.
But since this person was so respected by the white-bearded butler, and he had handed over so much leverage of the Zhao family with valid reasons.
This time, the white-bearded butler had truly torn his face completely.
This was a rhythm of mutual destruction with the Zhao family, risking everything!
But before the white-bearded butler could finish speaking, Li Tianjiao coldly said, "Why didn't you explain your own matters?"
The white-bearded butler trembled all over. At this critical juncture, he naturally had to expose Zhao Shijun's dark secrets clearly.
As for his own sins, he definitely had to clear them up!
However, it was obvious that Li Tianjiao was not so easily fooled.
But by the time this minute passed, there was no extra time for him to talk nonsense!
As the white-bearded butler became anxious.
Li Tianjiao directly said, "Forget it, I'm not interested in these. Just tell me, what do you want?"
"Ah? I... I just want to live!"
The white-bearded butler shivered and then stated his final wish.
"Okay, I promise you. Stay put, and someone will come for you soon!"
Beep, beep, beep...
The call was directly hung up. The ease with which Li Tianjiao agreed to the conditions was beyond the white-bearded butler's imagination.
Such a legendary figure was too quick-witted and decisive!
This was the true superior!
Just as the white-bearded butler's forehead was covered in cold sweat and he hadn't recovered, his phone was snatched by someone next to him.
The white-bearded butler suddenly woke up and instinctively took a step back.
Immediately, two people on the side held him by his arms.
"Trying to run?"
One of them asked blankly.
But before the white-bearded butler could respond, the second person next to him said, "Even if you let him leave now, he won't. Where else would be safer than here?"
The boss next to him also nodded, then looked deeply at the white-bearded butler.
"Who is this Town Guardian King you mentioned? Can he bring down the Zhao family?"
The white-bearded butler was stunned, but seeing the boss's suspicious eyes, he knew very well.
If he didn't clarify these matters today, he probably wouldn't live to see the people Li Tianjiao arranged to save him!
"He is the one with the highest status and position in the Elder Council. The Town Guardian King of that year was comparable to the Northern Guardian King, who is now the Ling Tian War God. One was internal, the other external. The Town Guardian King was internal, with supreme power. For the past three years, the Northern Guardian King has not appeared, and everything has been managed by the Town Guardian King. I only obtained the Town Guardian King's contact information by chance..."
As the white-bearded butler explained all this, he couldn't help but sigh!
"There's no turning back once the arrow is shot. Since everything has been told to the Town Guardian King, the Zhao family is definitely doomed!"
*Suck, suck, suck...*
A series of gasps of cold air came from all around.
The second person, with his eyes darting around, directly grabbed the white-bearded butler's neck with a fierce look: "Stop the nonsense, quickly hand over the access methods to the treasury. It won't be easy for us to leave when people arrive!"
The boss and the others also came to their senses.
However, the boss still felt a sense of inexplicable shock, so he squinted his eyes and asked, "Town Guardian King? Is he really that powerful? Comparable to the Ling Tian War God?"
The white-bearded butler's gaze swept over the few people before returning to the boss.
"No need to doubt, the results will come soon. Moreover, if you leave now, you will only attract Zhao Shijun's attention, and then everything will be over. So, you must not mess things up, otherwise, you will face the Town Guardian King's wrath. Now I can survive, and someone will come to arrest me, and then you can leave smoothly!"
By the end, the white-bearded butler could only sigh.
Under the might of a generation of heroes, the white-bearded butler ultimately did not become a generation of heroes, and his era had ended.
However, he had known when to advance and retreat in his life.
At this critical juncture, he had made the most correct choice.
This was how he managed to save his life!
