"You brat, you little brat, are you trying to get us killed?" the leader of the Wu clan roared.
Giving away five million points is just hastening your own demise, what a fool!
After all, with these points, Zheng Ya can mass-produce thirty peak sixth-tier ability users. Adding to Zheng Ya's current two million points and the twenty peak sixth-tier ability users he has created, that makes a total of seventy!
With the seven major clans' teams scattered across eleven fortresses, Zheng Ya, leading seventy peak sixth-tier ability users, was unstoppable, sweeping through the enemy ranks.
Don't even mention gathering your disciples to run away; that's impossible.
Even at the assembly point, six people were stationed at the fortress.
This is the official system of the Tower of Babel; it's not something you can come and go as you please.
Eagle King got impatient: "Shut up, let Wu girl continue. I think Zheng Ya doesn't want anything to happen to us either, and he wants the Ning Prince's faction to still be the only one in power, right?"
"Hmm, Eagle King truly lives up to his reputation as a leader; he is indeed intelligent and decisive!" Wu Wei praised him without reservation.
But to the Eagle King, it sounded like contempt, yet he had to swallow his pride and try to appease her: "Wu girl, we're all on the same side after all, there's no need for us to be at odds, right?"
"Fine, my status is different now than before, I'm too lazy to argue with you guys."
"Listen, Zheng Ya said, if you're really worried about your illegal intrusion, you can pay to buy it." Wu smiled beautifully; more money was coming in.
Purchasing a legal identity means buying an invitation letter from Zheng Ya.
That is the official credential for the Tower of Babel.
Any intrusion is illegal and the Starry Sky Inspector has the right to suppress it.
After all, the duties of the Starry Sky Inspectors are to invade external forces, eliminate dissidents internally, exercise the official authority of the Tower of Babel, and monitor the safe development of the starry sky within millions of light-years.
However, Zheng Ya had not yet imagined that invitations could be used in this way.
Wu Wei seized the opportunity and plotted to make a fortune from the Eagle King's faction.
As the saying goes, a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth!
Coincidentally, the scions of the Eagle King's family were overjoyed to hear this, knowing that their purchase and identity would be safe!
Urged on by everyone's whispers and winks, Eagle King said, "Oh, I wonder how much Zheng Ya's legal identity costs?"
"Hmm, not expensive, only five million points..."
"What? Five million? Why doesn't he just rob a place...?"
Isn't he robbing it?
"Holy shit..."
"Oh right, he said he had an hour before he left. Oh dear, forty minutes have already passed. It's not my fault!" Wu Wei glanced at the time and tried to shift the blame.
Eagle King and the others were so angry they almost vomited blood, but they didn't have time to argue with her and started shouting, "Damn it, what do we do?"
"What the hell? This is blatant robbery!"
"The key point is that he has the right to take it from us!"
"Damn it, if I could kill him, I'd be the first to rush up and twist his head off..."
"Nonsense, do you need to tell me that?"
"Stop arguing, let's talk about whether or not we should pay this money?"
"Damn it, I don't feel safe without spending money!"
"It's not just that; they can confiscate all property at will when it comes to illegal intrusion."
"There's nothing we can do. Zheng Ya is not someone that our seven great families can control. Fortunately, he has fallen out with the Prince of Ning's faction, so we still have a chance to form a marriage alliance with Zheng Ya. Otherwise, we would be waiting to die."
“That makes sense. Let’s pay for security, and also to curry favor with Zheng Ya before discussing the marriage alliance.”
“That makes sense. As long as we help him have an affair with the Ning Prince’s marriage partner, Zheng Ya will eventually form a marriage alliance with us. Victory is on our side, so this money is well spent.”
"Perhaps this is Zheng Ya's way of throwing out a brick to attract jade?"
"You have fifteen minutes to discuss this, but you also need to give me five minutes to transfer the funds and run away, right?"
"So, you have nine minutes left..." Wu Wei urged people to pay without hesitation.
Eagle King laughed angrily: "Wasn't it ten minutes?"
"Don't you waste time talking?" Wu Wei added insult to injury. Eagle King gritted his teeth and admitted defeat: "Fine, I'll transfer five million points to you right away. You'd better hurry up and get things done."
“Eagle King, you don’t need to teach me this. I know that my family is the backbone. Helping you is helping my own backbone, right?” Wu Wei started showering people with sweetness.
Sure enough, Eagle King chuckled and said, "Hehe, I love what you said, Wu girl. It really hits the nail on the head."
"Does the Eagle King think I, Wu Wei, am a fool who can't distinguish between friend and foe?"
"Oh, right, Eagle King, should we order a batch of sixth-tier peak ability users to support Zheng Ya's business, build good relations, and strengthen ourselves? You can't afford to alienate people and cause suspicion at this time!" Wu Wei made another move, adding to the stakes.
Relationships are built while the iron is hot.
Only married couples can truly be intimate and caring; all other relationships are just for show and unreliable.
Besides, it's hard to offer help in times of need, but easy to kick someone when they're down.
Eagle King understood the logic, but his face twitched with pain as he had no choice but to be the sucker. Fortunately, he didn't lose out, otherwise he would have wanted to draw his knife and kill someone: "Ahem, in your opinion, is it appropriate for us to support Zheng Yaduo's business as a sixth-level peak ability user?"
"Hmm, this is a big question, and it also requires a lot of knowledge."
"Eagle King, let me analyze this for you. You can discuss and decide for yourselves. I won't get involved. I'll just act as a middleman. You can pretend to be enemies with Zheng Ya and fool the Ning Prince's faction. What do you say?" Wu Wei began to make his plans.
Eagle King also knew that this was unavoidable. Only a three-way balance of power could last, and a two-on-one situation would be the decisive moment, so it couldn't be done lightly.
For established families, profit comes first.
If there is any fighting, it will be through murder, assassination, treachery, and other underhanded tactics.
Moreover, the Tower of Babel officially forbids human forces from waging war.
The party that starts a war will be severely punished, a punishment that no power can afford.
But when it comes to underhanded tactics, everyone has their own skills.
This can be considered an unspoken rule of survival of the fittest officially imposed by the Tower of Babel!
Eagle King knew perfectly well what was going on, and nodded slightly, saying, "Alright, then give us your analysis."
"Oh well.
First, the Ning Prince's faction has seized the profits from Zheng Ya's eleven fortresses, and Zheng Ya harbors resentment and is unwilling to form a genuine marriage alliance with the Ning Prince's faction, which is essentially a done deal.
However, if Zheng Ya wants to secure his position as a Starry Sky Inspector, he urgently needs to accumulate points to cultivate a large number of sixth-tier peak ability users.
Then he will be eager to earn points.
The points he earned depended entirely on selling us sixth-tier peak ability users, which was aiding the enemy; he wouldn't use that as sustenance.
Therefore, they will only focus on increasing the number of fortresses, thereby increasing control over them and increasing revenue.
We can then persuade him to open the second teleportation portal.
This is good for him, but for us it means gaining the upper hand and crushing the foundation of the Prince of Ning's faction.
"Our strength and foundation are stronger than that of the Prince of Ning's faction, which is why we are qualified to stand up and form a marriage alliance with Zheng Ya, right?" Wu Wei said passionately.
The scions of the Eagle King's lineage gleamed with excitement; that's right.
The Eagle King wholeheartedly agreed: "You're right, please continue?"
"Alright, secondly, if we want to form a marriage alliance with Zheng Ya and achieve a mutually beneficial relationship, we can go further together."
It must be done in secret; it's better if the Prince of Ning's faction discovers the clues.
This inevitably leads to a relationship of secret cooperation and open hostility.
To ensure our interests are not lost, we should increase our investment in purchasing peak sixth-tier ability users from Zheng Ya and deploy them under his command to guard the fortress, monitor Zheng Ya's forces, and guarantee that our interests are not lost.
"Only in this way can we secretly grow stronger..." Wu Wei became more and more excited as he spoke, scheming to get the Eagle King's faction to spend a lot of money...
