"Brother Xu, you have quite the audacity. You're on Silver Pine Island, yet you've managed to stir up such a storm in the entire main city."
Cheng Gujian got straight to the point, interlacing his fingers to get to the heart of the matter.
"No, it can't compare to Brother Cheng's generosity."
Xu Shi, however, seemed indifferent and didn't even look at him directly. Instead, he began to examine the interior of the carriage with great interest.
He had felt from the outside that the carriage was excessively wide, and the inside was indeed a hidden world—it was practically a mobile, simple mansion. In addition to the living room, it even had a dedicated kitchen and bedroom. The windows were also specially designed, offering excellent views from the inside, but appearing completely dark from the outside.
Clearly, this must be Cheng Gujian's private car, which is more luxurious than a regular executive RV... He even inexplicably thought of a certain famous ancient person, whose sedan chair seemed to be carried by thirty-two people.
Wow, that's impressive!
"I am usually very busy with official duties, so I got this horse-drawn carriage to make things easier."
Cheng Gujian brushed it off and went straight to the point, asking, "Brother Xu's purpose in creating the Sea God Stone is probably to retaliate against me and the Holy See?"
This wasn't a question; it carried a hint of accusation.
It's clear that he was also somewhat displeased with Xu Shi's actions.
“How could that be? I heard about what happened back then, and I understand Brother Cheng’s actions very well.”
Xu Shi then became more serious, sat down opposite him and smiled, "If we switched roles, I think I would be even more ruthless than you, believe me."
After all, you already knew it was a superficial partnership, so it would be naive to expect the other party to risk their life to save you when you're in trouble.
"So you're saying that revenge is pointless."
He spread his hands with a sigh, "I also contributed real money, and you didn't stop me, you even got involved, didn't you?"
The meaning of this is very straightforward: why didn't you do this earlier?
You can't wait until something bad happens to start looking for blame... When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.
"Yes, as the saying goes, 'You can't know what a thousand pieces of gold can buy.' Brother Xu has taught us a very good lesson."
Cheng Gujian's expression remained calm, but with a hint of gloom. "But don't forget what the purpose of our cooperation is."
"Brother Cheng, you can rest assured. My desire to bring down the Vatican is no less than yours."
Xu Shi waved his hand to reassure him, "The weapons I promised you all came with the ship. And didn't I come to see Her Majesty the Empress myself?"
"Of course, on the other hand, I deserve the most credit for defeating the sea god, and my not taking it doesn't mean I don't care."
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Gujian narrowed his eyes and asked.
"It's very simple, just a small request."
Xu Shi held up one finger. "When we meet the Empress downstairs, I'd like to see her alone, what do you say?"
