"You!"
With one sentence, Selatin's chest heaved violently.
He felt as if his lungs were about to explode with rage!
While it was true that this was China's territory, the problem was that everyone in the bar was his own man, and Ye Cangtian had come alone.
Given this disparity in numbers, on what basis did the other party have the confidence to speak like this!
Thinking this, Selatin cast a sinister glance, and said with disdain, "Ye Cangtian, are you wearing invisible sunglasses? Don't you see that everyone here is my person?"
Selatin's intention was simple: to make Ye Cangtian watch his words, lest he accidentally eliminate the other party.
"Heh heh, I'm not blind, of course I see it."
"But what does that prove? It's the quality of a person, not the quantity. If someone lacks strength, even a hundred people are of no use in front of you, aren't they?"
"Do you think what I said makes sense?"
*Grind, grind, grind...*
Feeling Ye Cangtian's smile, Selatin's teeth ground together.
He didn't deny Ye Cangtian's words, but he couldn't admit it in front of Ye Cangtian. This was a deadly question!
If he admitted that Ye Cangtian was right, wouldn't that mean admitting that all of them, who were in front of Ye Cangtian, lacked strength?
But if he were to deny it, he couldn't find a better rebuttal!
For a moment, he hated Ye Cangtian to the bone. This guy was too sharp-tongued…
"Alright, stop using your cotton-padded trouser leg of a mouth to embarrass yourself!"
"Let's get down to business! How do you intend to negotiate?"
Seeing the other party tremble with anger but unable to utter a word, Ye Cangtian, too lazy to bicker, directly steered the conversation back.
*Hmph!*
Selatin snorted coldly, as if venting all his pent-up anger.
The next moment, he calmed down and slowly said, "We can choose to truce, or even choose to cooperate and create a win-win situation..."
"Oh?"
"Stop with the nonsense, just state your conditions!"
In Ye Cangtian's view, there was no such thing as a free lunch. Since Selatin was offering benefits, there must be conditions.
He was too lazy to play guessing games with the other party and asked directly.
"It's simple to talk to a smart person! You're right, we do have conditions, and the conditions we propose are not difficult for China to fulfill..."
Selatin chuckled triumphantly at Ye Cangtian's words, knowing that the other party showed an intention to cooperate by inquiring about the conditions.
However, before he could finish his rambling, Ye Cangtian interrupted him again, "Can we stop the nonsense?"
*Grind, grind, grind...*
Selatin gritted his teeth again at Ye Cangtian's rude behavior, and after a moment, he held up three fingers.
"First, China's forces must hand over the traitor of the Guangming Hall, Nancy!"
As expected!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself. He had mentioned this to Old Master Xu earlier, and it had indeed come true.
But Ye Cangtian did not interrupt, waiting for the other party to finish.
"Second, China's forces must permit Guangming Hall to establish an intelligence station in the capital!"
Saying this, Selatin glanced at Ye Cangtian, hesitated, and then explained.
These intelligence stations were, in name, for future cooperation and enhanced communication between the two sides.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly at this, saying nothing more, and instead made a gesture of invitation, signaling the other party to continue.
Of course, he would not interrupt. The conditions mentioned by the other party were naturally their purpose for invading China, and knowing this would also help strengthen their defenses.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's gesture, Selatin was silent for a moment and then said, "The third condition is not urgent. We need to see your attitude towards the first two conditions first."
Heh heh, this idiot is quite cunning!
Muttering to himself, Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and said with a smile, "Let's talk about the second condition first, the establishment of an intelligence station.
Since we are going to make peace, I don't think this intelligence station is necessary..."
The Dragon Group's intelligence department in the capital was very effective, and there was no need for Guangming Hall to send more personnel.
As for communication between the two sides, these were simple matters. As long as both parties had sincerity, communication would not be difficult.
"This..."
Hearing this, Selatin's brows furrowed. If an intelligence station wasn't established, how would Guangming Hall monitor China's forces' every move?
At that time, they might be sold out and still have to help count the money, right?
Thinking this, Selatin had to speak up and undermine China's intelligence department.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Ye Cangtian, don't have too much hope in China's intelligence department. If they were truly capable, why would they have let us do as we pleased before?"
"Selatin, you are mistaken!"
"It's not that China's intelligence department is not strong, but that you hide and skulk like rats."
"I think if I went to your territory, you wouldn't easily find me!"
Ye Cangtian said this, looking at the other party with a half-smile.
"..."
With one sentence, Selatin was rendered speechless. Although what the other party said was unpleasant, it was also a fact.
After all, the capital was vast, with millions of people. Finding one or two individuals in it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Let's talk about Nancy again!"
On the other side, seeing Selatin momentarily speechless, Ye Cangtian quickly changed the subject. He didn't want to give the other party any more chances to argue.
Selatin gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Cangtian again, wanting to see how he would handle the issue of Nancy.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and directly said, "This issue is similar to the intelligence station. Since Guangming Hall is about to cooperate with China's forces, then Nancy is no longer a traitor!
You and I are on the same side. What difference does it make whether Nancy is with you or with me?
Unless Guangming Hall lacks sincerity in cooperation and is using cooperation as a guise for other ulterior motives!
Moreover, since we are cooperating, all grudges are settled. If Guangming Hall can tolerate these things, can't it tolerate one Nancy? Isn't that too petty?"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Selatin felt as if he were suffocating.
Ye Cangtian was truly sharp-tongued, leaving him unable to utter a single word.
Although his cooperation with China's forces was merely superficial, a means to achieve certain goals, it was not from genuine sincerity.
But the problem was, he couldn't refute what Ye Cangtian said!
Once he refuted it, the other party would suspect Guangming Hall's sincerity, and then cooperation would be unlikely.
Thinking this, Selatin nodded with difficulty and said, "Alright, you are right. Let's put aside the matter of Nancy for now, and we can also temporarily give up on the intelligence station."
There was no other way. The issue of Nancy had to be dealt with for the time being to avoid ruining the cooperation.
Of course, this was only superficial. If there was an opportunity in the future, he would still deal with this traitor, as Guangming Hall had zero tolerance for traitors.
As for the intelligence station, Selatin had also thought it through.
Establishing an intelligence station in front of the other party meant that the other party could dismantle it at will, which was basically meaningless.
Therefore, the intelligence station still had to be established secretly to exert its greatest effect, so it would not be mentioned on the negotiating table.
On the other side, hearing Selatin's statement, Ye Cangtian showed a satisfied smile. He took a sip of his cocktail and then made a gesture of invitation.
"You can state your third condition now!"
Hearing this, Selatin did not hesitate and directly said, "As you said, after our cooperation, we will be on the same side, so we should share fortune and share adversity!"
"Be more specific!" Ye Cangtian asked indifferently.
Selatin quickly replied, "It's very simple. That is, open China's relics to Guangming Hall. This way, Guangming Hall can obtain some resources within China's relics and, incidentally, help China's forces expand their territory..."
"Heh heh."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's face once again showed a smile. The other party's intentions were basically as he had predicted. They were indeed eyeing China's relics.
Then, there was no need to say more. The other party must want to enter China's relics to find the Chaos Seal, which was connected to the Guangming Seal!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian's eyes began to turn.
To be honest, if China's forces were to search for the Chaos Seal themselves, they might have to sacrifice many people.
If Guangming Hall, that foolish big spender, were to charge ahead, it would greatly reduce casualties.
But the problem remained: it was easier to invite gods than to send them away. Once Guangming Hall was allowed into China's relics, the situation would be very difficult to control.
