"Boss Xia is really impatient." Yin Longyuan showed no sign of anger. "Well... I only came here this time hoping that you can cooperate with us."
"I think my cooperation with the Nanxiao base is already obvious, isn't it?" Xia Yaoxuan shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.
Yin Longyuan didn't speak, but looked at Xia Yaoxuan gently.
Xia Yaoxuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly not understanding, and leaned back in his chair, casually picking up a glass of red wine from the table and taking a sip.
The room fell silent. Yin Longyuan finally gave in, shaking his head and saying, "Eight thousand alien cores."
“Fifteen thousand,” Xia Yaoxuan chuckled.
"Boss Xia, you're asking for the moon." Even with his excellent composure, Yin Longyuan couldn't hold back any longer. He sat up straight, and his originally gentle expression was showing signs of cracking. "It's hard for me to believe you're sincere."
"Then let's make it 16,000." Xia Yaoxuan shrugged and said indifferently, as if the increase of 1,000 alien cores was completely insignificant. "Don't forget, you came to me yourselves. Sincerity? Are you kidding me, sir?"
Yin Longyuan felt a lump in his throat. Judging from Xia Yaoxuan's expression, he clearly didn't care much about their business, but for them, the private oil transactions were extremely important.
Whether it's weapon manufacturing or exploration, the lack of such resources would make their subsequent plans extremely difficult.
"Okay." Yin Longyuan remained silent for a moment before making the final decision.
"Isn't that better?" Xia Yaoxuan seemed to soften up again. He stood up and extended his hand to Yin Longyuan, indicating that the cooperation was going well.
"Nonsense, with all that money he's made, how could we not have a pleasant collaboration?" Yin Longyuan silently clutched his heart, his chest clenching.
After Yin Longyuan left, Xia Yaoxuan stretched and pulled out an agreement from the drawer under the table. He then carefully read it in the sunlight, not missing a single detail.
"Chu Sheng, I think we need to go home immediately. Zhenyang, you stay and continue to manage the transactions at the Nanxiao base." Xia Yaoxuan frowned deeply as he looked at each word of the agreement.
"What about that deal with Yin Longyuan?" Zhenyang asked after a moment's hesitation. That was a very profitable business.
"Did I say I wouldn't do it?" Xia Yaoxuan rolled his eyes at Zhenyang, then glanced at his watch and chuckled, "Zhenyang, go open the door, our most troublesome guest of the day has arrived."
Zhenyang responded, then walked to the door and opened it. The moment he opened the door, a man stepped in.
"General Mu, it's an honor to have you here." Xia Yaoxuan stood up and extended his hand with pleasure as Mu Yanxuan walked in.
"You should have seen the agreement." Mu Yanxuan raised his hand and shook hands with Xia Yaoxuan lightly, then sat down in the chair opposite Xia Yaoxuan and went straight to the point, saying calmly, "What's Boss Xia's decision?"
“There’s nothing to change. Although only seven thousand heteronuclei is a bit of a loss for me, we’re in a long-term partnership after all, aren’t we?” Xia Yaoxuan smiled gently, then prepared to sign his name in front of Mu Yanxuan. But before he could put pen to paper, he suddenly asked in a low voice, “General Mu only wants to cooperate for three years as stipulated in the agreement?”
"Who knows what will happen three years from now?" Mu Yanxuan casually put his hands together on his lap. He sat up straight, his gaze fixed on Xia Yaoxuan the whole time. This domineering aura made Xia Yaoxuan feel uncomfortable all over.
Mu Yanxuan... is indeed not as simple as the outside world says.
“As long as General Mu is sincere, then going further into the future is not a problem.” Xia Yaoxuan raised his eyes and smiled.
Unfortunately, Mu Yanxuan merely glanced at him, her attitude indifferent, as if she didn't want to say anything more. Seeing the awkward situation, Fire Fox stepped forward and whispered, "Boss Xia, please hurry up a bit."
This angered Chu Sheng and his group. Zhenyang immediately started swearing, "What the hell are you guys...?"
"Zhenyang." Xia Yaoxuan spoke coldly. Zhenyang paused, quickly swallowing the words he was about to say. Xia Yaoxuan didn't say another word, raising his hand to sign his name. "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation?"
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Mu Yanxuan nodded lightly, then gestured for Fire Fox behind him to take their copy of the document, and got up to leave.
"Boss, this guy is too arrogant." Zhenyang complained, his attitude was infuriating. This guy was the one who brought him to the Nanxiao base in the first place. He didn't expect him to have ulterior motives from the beginning. He was really stupid. He thought he was lucky, but he walked into a trap.
"It's already a great honor for them to come all this way in person." Xia Yaoxuan's face was expressionless, and he leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh. He hadn't expected that Mu Yanxuan would know so much about the Black Clan. Just how many people had that guy planted in the Black Clan?
It's important to understand that outsiders cannot easily approach the territory inhabited by Black people. Even if someone manages to cross the danger zone and reach them, how could an outsider possibly know anything about what's going on inside?
Moreover… Xia Yaoxuan glanced at Zhenyang, who was sulking to the side, and narrowed his eyes slightly. He even knew about his travel plans. Mu Yanxuan was really… someone you had to be wary of.
Thinking of the scene where Mu Yanxuan's men threatened him with their Black race's internal information, Xia Yaoxuan's expression became increasingly grim.
“Tell Yin Longyuan that our deal with them will continue, as long as he can afford the price. It’s okay as long as we want the deal to last.”
"Yes," Yang replied.
"And Zhenyang, you'd better protect Mu Yanxuan's woman. At least take good care of her while she's at the Nanxiao base. After all..." Xia Yaoxuan looked at the agreement in front of him with a cold smile, "Is this what's written in the agreement? Such a considerate woman... Mu Yanxuan, exposing such a big weakness is really arrogant."
Zhenyang nodded and said, "I will take good care of Ji within my sphere of influence..."
"Alright." Xia Yaoxuan interrupted Zhenyang with some annoyance, then stood up and walked towards his room. "Chu Sheng, pack your things. We need to get home as soon as possible to start preparing for the oil transaction. None of these transactions have been easy to handle."
"Yes." Chu Sheng nodded.
After leaving, Mu Yanxuan did not return to his current temporary residence. He stood there, his face showing no joy at the successful transaction, but rather an icy expression.
"My lord?" Firefox asked in confusion.
"Fire Fox, what's the situation now?" Mu Yanxuan said coldly, then lifted his foot and walked towards the direction where Ji Yueyao was training.
Firefox paused for a moment, then reported truthfully: "A large number of aliens have begun heading to the Forbidden Forest for unknown reasons. The border defenses in the southwest and southeast are now on the verge of collapse. Qin Lichang's side also seems to be making moves. Lord Lingyang has already sent people to strengthen the defenses in the northern region."
"He really knows how to cause trouble." Mu Yanxuan sneered, but his eyes grew even colder. "Fire Fox, go back and pack your things. Notify everyone that we are heading to the Forbidden Forest immediately."
