Chapter 805 - 388: Beat up Hai Gang, painfully regretting surrender!_2
Lord Haigang said, "It’s simple. His main fleet made first contact with yours and engaged in a minor skirmish. Your twenty-five thousand navy forces were no match for his fifteen thousand Rock Pirates, so you beat a hasty retreat."
Suo Lun was stunned. The only thought in his head was: You make such good sense, I’m actually speechless.
Then Suo Lun suddenly realized that when a smart person, especially a small-minded smart person, starts to act foolishly, it can be even more severe than a fool.
Once they fall into their own line of thinking, others have no chance of changing their minds.
And this person was highly suspicious, the more Suo Lun talked, the more he doubted.
On the other hand, Yan Mo didn’t say anything, just put on a look like he was about to surround and annihilate Suo Lun and kept pushing Lord Haigang away.
As a result, Lord Haigang became completely convinced that Yan Mo had indeed surrounded Suo Lun and was about to utterly destroy him.
Suo Lun was all too familiar with such people. There were many such smart people on Earth; you tell them the truth, they doubt everything. You painstakingly deceive them, and they believe you instead.
It’s like a product that costs twenty to make, you price it at thirty, and then people think it’s crap with probably only costing five, so they refuse to buy it at all.
But the same product that costs twenty bucks, once priced at three hundred, these smart people will think the cost is a hundred, and it’s a good item. After haggling down to one fifty, they happily make the purchase.
The schemer Lord Haigang turned out to be this kind of "smart" person, which really makes one’s blood boil.
