Chapter 744 - 365: Alliance and Marriage! Want to marry Suo Ningbing?_2
Suo Lun has taken the initiative to show weakness.
Hai Gang said, "Indeed. Yan Mo is a man of wolf-like ambition. I kindly lent him the Thunder Archipelago for temporary residence, but he took the opportunity to occupy it by force. Not only that, but he has gotten worse, constantly annexing my subordinate islands and repeatedly suppressing me in the Ocean Guild. My Hai Family used to earn fifty percent of the profits in the Marine Guild, but now it’s merely twenty percent."
Suo Lun said, "This man is really despicable! Does Lord Haigang know why he wants to block my maritime trade?"
Hai Gang said, "I would like to hear the details."
Suo Lun said, "He proposed an alliance with me, claiming that as half-brothers, united we would be invincible."
Hai Gang said, "If you joined forces with him, you would indeed be invincible, and my Yingzhou Island would surely be lost."
Suo Lun said, "Unfortunately, he is too assertive, and his ambition is too great. The terms he demanded were completely beyond my limits."
Hai Gang asked, "What did he demand?"
"The Sky-Shaking Thunder," Suo Lun said. "My top-secret ultimate weapon. It’s the reason I was able to defeat Gui Xingfu’s Allied Army, annihilate Zhi Wei’s army, and scare away the Turing Tuo Army. Yan Mo actually demanded this from me, so of course I turned hostile. I even proposed to him that I could send troops to help him take Yingzhou Island, and then completely withdraw, leaving not a single soldier behind, and surrender the entire Yingzhou Island to him. Yet, he still refused, continuing to demand the Sky-Shaking Thunder."
