Chapter 378: Methods of Advancing to Citizenship
This elder, capable of persuading Captain Su to strike at Zhang Xuan just for the benefit of these 2000 Destiny Plates, now finds his supposed advantage vanishing as the other party offers to hand them over voluntarily.
Filled with anxiety, he was attempting to continue explaining when a faint voice sounded from not far away.
"Ungrateful wretches should not be allowed to speak!”
The surrounding wind seemed to halt, the elder’s body stiffened, and he immediately found his mouth sealed by an inexplicable force, rendering him speechless.
"What do you say?”
Knowing that it was the mightiest supporter Empyrean Kong shi who had taken action, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly and looked towards Captain Su before him, neither servile nor overbearing: “From our brief encounter just now, you should have realized that I am not weak… Even if not a match for you, escaping wouldn’t be hard. Do we escalate the situation, letting this scoundrel benefit as the middleman, or do we let it go and make me a friend? I hope Captain Su can make the right choice.”
... From the moment the elder began to frame him, he had decided to take out these 2000 Destiny Plates; however, had he done so earlier, not only would Captain Su not have taken the deal, but he might have seen it as an opportunity for extortion.
Now it was different, having displayed his formidable strength and value, negotiation should yield compliance.
Indeed, hearing this, Su Mingchen frowned slightly and then nodded: “Alright, it’s a deal!”
