"Chief Xu, you may have heard that our alliance has recently developed a new type of energy that can greatly improve production efficiency and improve the quality of life. This energy is not only vital to our alliance, but also has epoch-making significance for the future of the entire apocalypse."
Mou Xuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word struck the heart of the leader of Xu's forces.
"Our alliance is willing to share this achievement with all like-minded forces and build a better future together. But..." Mu Xuan changed the subject, "...we will never succumb to any threats or intimidation."
"Fifty-fifty split? Chief Xu, you underestimate our alliance. We are not lambs to be slaughtered, we are... eagles soaring in the sky!"
Mou Xuan's words were so powerful that they inspired everyone present.
There was a gleam of admiration in Chen Yao's eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and felt proud of Mou Xuan.
The leader of Xu's forces remained silent.
He originally thought that this negotiation was just a formality, and that with his own strength, he could completely crush the alliance and get whatever he wanted.
But he didn't expect that Mou Xuan would be so tough, and...what he said didn't seem to make sense.
"Alliance Leader Mu, I admit that what you said does make some sense. But..." The leader of the Xu faction changed the subject, "... cooperation requires sincerity, right? What sincerity can your alliance show?"
"Sincerity?" Mou Xuan smiled. "Chief Xu, what kind of sincerity do you want?"
"It's very simple." The leader of Xu's faction said that if the alliance can provide a batch of food, weapons and medicine as a 'greeting gift', then we can consider cooperating with you on an 'equal basis'. ”
"What a huge mouth!" Ten thousand diplomatic envoys couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
Mou Xuan remained calm. He smiled and said, "Chief Xu, your 'greeting gift' is a little too 'expensive'. Although our alliance has sufficient resources, we cannot afford such 'waste'."
"Alliance Leader Mou, what do you mean? Don't you think that the 'friendship' of our Xu faction is not worth these things?" There was a hint of threat in the tone of the leader of the Xu faction.
"Chief Xu, you misunderstood. I just think that friendship needs to be maintained by both parties, not by unilateral charity." Mu Xuan said calmly, "If you really want to cooperate with us, then you should show equal sincerity."
"Equal sincerity?" The leader of the Xu faction sneered, "Alliance Leader Mu, please tell me, what do you want?"
"It's very simple." Mou Xuan stretched out a finger. "Our alliance needs a stable rear, an ally that we can trust. So, we hope that Xu's forces can sign a 'non-aggression treaty' with us, and..."
He paused, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "...and we want Wan's diplomatic envoys to be your 'hostages' and stay in your forces for a period of time."
When Wan Diplomatic Envoy heard this, his face turned pale instantly.
He fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly: "Alliance leader, please don't! I... I am loyal to the alliance and have no second thoughts!"
Mou Xuan didn't even look at him, but just stared quietly at the leader of Xu's forces.
He knew in his heart that the eye contact between Wan Diplomatic Envoy and the other party was definitely not accidental.
He must find out the truth as soon as possible and eliminate the hidden dangers.
"Chief Xu, do you think this 'sincerity' is enough?" Mou Xuan's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.
The leader of Xu's faction had a gloomy expression on his face. He stared at Mou Xuan, as if trying to see through his heart.
Advisor Yao stood aside, constantly winking at the leader of Xu's forces, as if urging him to make a decision.
Translator Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously. He felt as if he was in a huge whirlpool and could be swallowed up at any time.
Chen Yao held Mou Xuan's hand tightly, conveying her support and trust with her eyes.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the leader of Xu's forces, waiting for his answer.
The leader of the Xu faction spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and with a hint of amusement: "Alliance Leader Mou, you really are... cautious at every step..."
