Things have taken an unexpected turn.
With the sudden emergence of the Master, the World Merchants Association discovered that they had met their match.
Leopard Court's conditions were simple and brutal: to take half of the seats on the board of directors. As the head of Leopard Court, Qin Che had the power to establish factions and organizations within the Chamber of Commerce.
Upon seeing this document,
Inside the council chamber, the officials were furious, their faces flushed, pounding on the table and angrily denouncing Leopard Court for abusing his power.
Zhang Minglou sighed; he didn't expect to get any advice from these people.
They had no bargaining chips when facing a Grand Master.
They just asked for it; you were the ones who approached Leopard Court to negotiate first. Oh, you just want to get something for nothing. Why should we negotiate if you don't show any sincerity?
Are you kidding me?
There's no other way but to postpone it for now.
Zhang Minglou did not intend to respond to Bao Ting's request; he would simply pretend not to see or hear it.
After venting their anger, the board members present calmed down.
They had thought it over carefully and realized that they had no bargaining power in this matter. Leopard Court was very powerful, and they wanted to know what the safest way to deal with it was.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Only a very few individuals are still angrily denouncing and accusing Leopard Court of being irresponsible.
On the front lines of China, humanity is resisting the invaders, yet Leopard Court betrays their World Merchants Association, which is extremely disloyal.
"How about... we wait until the Pope is born before telling him about this?"
“A Grand Master, I imagine the Mechano Pope would be very interested in Leopard Court.”
"That's all we can do. We have no way to deal with the Master."
"If even the most powerful weapons can't harm the opponent, then we can only endure it."
The gentlemen can only offer advice.
Their method was similar to Zhang Minglou's idea: to stall.
The Pope has been in seclusion for a long time and has not made an appearance, but he has not fallen into a deep sleep.
If the fighting at the front becomes extremely difficult, the Mechanicus will inform the Pope that if the Iron Beasts have crossed the Yellow River, the subsequent battles will be much harder to win.
Zhang Minglou submitted the documents to the Mechanical Cult.
He then refrained from making any statements targeting Leopard Court and ordered Yin Xuan, Yang Jinshu, and others who remained in the South China Sea to withdraw.
Grand Secretary Yang was too ashamed to remain in the South China Sea, so he took off immediately upon receiving the order.
Zhou Shenglong and the other two extraordinary beings, who were following closely behind him, also had complicated expressions and mixed feelings on the way back.
They came in full force, but left in a sorry state.
The Leopard Court still stands in the Garden of God.
"I never imagined that I would lose so much face this time." A transcendent being sat next to Zhou Shenglong, gritting his teeth.
Zhou Shenglong said, "None of us expected him to be a Master. Even I was intimidated by that spiritual pressure."
Yang Jinshu closed her eyes and sat down for a short rest.
As a defeated general, Yang Jinshu's failure to complete this mission will not have any impact on him due to objective circumstances.
After all, the other party is so powerful that it cannot be resolved by him alone coming to negotiate.
The Chamber of Commerce needs a new solution.
The five Grand Secretaries of the Supreme Government personally saw him off.
Ren Pingsheng also had mixed feelings. Although his face was calm, his mind was also in turmoil, and he was also worried.
He was the one who contacted the chamber of commerce through secret channels. Now that the chamber of commerce has gone south and failed here, he is also implicated. Surely Grand Secretary Yang won't blame him?
Qin Che of Leopard Court is the Master. If he really clashes with the Chamber of Commerce, will the Chamber of Commerce bring him out to avoid responsibility and hold him accountable?
Ren Pingsheng dared not think of it...
Jiang Beilu and Chen Chizhang were both glancing at him sideways.
Even the two hawks, Yuan and Zhang, realized that this matter was extraordinary.
"The Master of the Psychic Desert... I never expected this..."
"Qin Che is actually this powerful, and he's still so young?"
"Grand Secretary Ren, what are you going to do now?"
Yuan Lingyi smiled at Ren Pingsheng, who snorted and turned to leave.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Zhang Shinan turned his head and said, "In any case, the dispute between the Chamber of Commerce and Leopard Court has already spiraled out of control. It remains to be seen how the board of directors will handle it properly."
"With the Lord in charge of the Leopard Court, this matter is of great importance, and the Chamber of Commerce will not stand idly by."
"Perhaps... we should ask the Pope to intervene and resolve this matter."
Will the Pope give face to the Chamber of Commerce?
"That's hard to say."
The Pope is also the Master, and has been at this level for many years. No one knows how old the Pope is; he is very old, but still very powerful.
The Chamber of Commerce also dared not control the Pope.
Although they are the behind-the-scenes investors and big bosses of the sect, the merchant guild can only bow down in the face of the Master.
The two parties are only in a cooperative relationship.
It's not a matter of one person controlling the other.
Mechanical particles were provided to the Chamber of Commerce, which in turn provided supplies and manpower to participate in the war.
Now that there's another Leopard Court, it's hard to imagine how the situation will evolve.
"We can have Ren Pingsheng go to Leopard Court to apologize," Jiang Beilu whispered to Chen Chizhang.
“He has no reason to apologize. What he’s afraid of is the Chamber of Commerce, which will hold him responsible for everything.” Chen Chizhang shook his head. “However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for the two of us. Perhaps we can make a trip to Leopard Court.”
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Beilu asked in surprise.
With a composed expression, Chen Chizhang suddenly said, "We need to plan our escape route. The South China Sea cannot rely solely on the Chamber of Commerce. Leopard Court is very powerful now... you know what I mean."
Jiang Beilu sighed: "We can give it a try."
...
“They’ve left: Yang Jinshu, Zhou Shenglong, and the negotiation experts they brought with them.”
Lina stood in front of Qin Che and reported that their informants in the South China Sea had just sent a message saying that Yang Jinshu had left.
