"Too much? But are you even human?"

Xiu Xin asked.

This offhand remark brought Oda Hidehiko immense humiliation, his face turned red with anger as he glared and shouted, "Baka yarou!"

"You're nothing but a dog, and not even a loyal one at that." Xiu Xin sneered, his eyes filled with contempt as he asked sharply, "Who sent you to stir up trouble tonight and sabotage this cooperation?"

Oda Hidehiko seemed to care a lot about Xiu Xin calling him a dog and did not respond to the question, instead snapping back, "You call me a dog, what about you? Aren't you also a dog of the Yanchuan Family? How dare you talk about me?"

Tangong Huizi waved her hand to dismiss the two subordinates whose wounds had just been bandaged by Oda Hidehiko.

The two turned and left, closing the door behind them.

"Looks like I didn't beat you enough earlier." Xiu Xin shook his head, stepped forward, and threw a punch.

Defense broken, angry and ashamed, furious.

"Ah!" Oda Hidehiko was caught off guard, taking the punch to the mouth, screaming as he staggered back several steps, falling to the ground, instinctively covering his mouth with his hand, blood seeping through his fingers as he glared venomously at Xiu Xin, shouting indistinctly, "You dare presume, I'm a senator, I'll sue you!"

He had been through the worst brawls, such as those in parliament, but had never been beaten so viciously.

"Don't say you're just a senator, even if you're the Heavenly Locust, I'd beat you just the same, under my fists, everyone is equal." Xiu Xin snorted coldly, stepping forward and kicking him to the ground, then stepped on his face to keep him from getting up, "Tell me, who sent you?"

"N... no one sent me." Oda Hidehiko's eyes flickered with fear as he stammered.

Xiu Xin pressed his foot down harder, "Still being stubborn?"

"Ah! Don't... don't step!" Oda Hidehiko wailed, crying without tears as he shouted, "Really, no one sent me, I just wanted to gamble, to persuade everyone to support Hatanaka Zizi, and then with the fifteen votes in my hand gain his favor, and secure a good position in the new cabinet headed by him."

He saw potential in Hatanaka Zizi but alone he couldn't gain much attention, so he wanted to persuade Tanben Yifu and others to support Hatanaka Zizi together, so that he would naturally gain significant attention from Hatanaka Zizi.

Moreover, he would then have his own base within Hatanaka Zizi's camp, not just fighting alone.

And he had only contacted six or seven people in these last few days, but suddenly Tangong Huizi announced support for Yanchuan Shilang, wouldn't that mean all his prior investments were wasted? So he had to sabotage the cooperation.

"So, you're saying Hatanaka Zizi knows nothing about what you're doing?" Xiu Xin raised an eyebrow.

Oda Hidehiko nodded with difficulty, "He doesn't know, I just wanted to use Hatanaka Zizi's name to persuade others, and then go to Hatanaka Zizi to provide him this merit without even formally joining him."

"Haha, playing both sides for personal gain, you're quite the opportunist." Xiu Xin marveled, if he hadn't intervened, Oda Hidehiko might have actually succeeded in this plan.

Tangong Huizi's face was icy cold, biting her lip she said, "Mr. Oda, I've always treated you with respect, but you took my money only to sabotage my plans for your own schemes, does this seem appropriate?"

"President Tangong funded us to provide aid in politics, once I help Hatanaka Zizi become prime minister, he will surely offer generous rewards, I could then offer even more assistance to you all!" Oda Hidehiko argued earnestly.

Tangong Huizi snorted, although she didn't know Hatanaka Zizi's attitude towards them South Koreans, Yanchuan Shilang had clearly shown favor.

So why would she abandon a sure thing for something distant?

She sighed, shaking her head she said, "Things have reached this point, there's no use in talking more, Mr. Oda, it's destined you'll part ways with our alliance, return the money we spent on you, and we'll part on good terms."

"Part on good terms?" Xiu Xin showed an inexplicable look, shaking his head he said, "Too late."

Tangong Huizi furrowed her brows, looking at him in confusion, wasn't this what you just said?

"President Tangong, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me? How can I have that much money? If I had that much money, why would I cooperate with you?" Oda Hidehiko said righteously, shamelessly adding, "I'm surely without money, but I do have a life."

"Alright, then no money, just your life." Xiu Xin nodded.

While Oda Hidehiko feared being beaten by Xiu Xin, he scoffed at the talk of killing him, arrogantly saying, "I'm a senator, you dare kill me? For such a trivial matter to kill me, is it worth it? If you have the guts, then kill me!"

With that, he closed his eyes, resigned to his fate, but nothing happened, and the foot on his face moved away, he sneered, opened his eyes to mock Xiu Xin, but in that moment saw a wooden chair rapidly smashing towards his face, his expression changed as he shouted, "No..."

"Bang!"

The wooden chair crashed heavily on his head, the head he had just raised met the ground once again, blood soaking through the bandage, bleeding from all orifices, extremely miserable.

"Ah!" Tangong Huizi turned pale with fright, stepping back in panic, covering her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at Xiu Xin.
