In the presidential suite of a hotel in the capital.
An old man was enjoying a massage from two beautiful women, murmuring sounds of comfort.
This person was none other than Bruny, the overall commander of the Bright Hall’s operation this time.
Bruny’s face was full of smiles at this moment.
Although it cost ten Nine Revolutions Golden Pills and five Enlightenment Pills, the outcome was bound to be good.
In his opinion, since Ye Cangtian had made such a request and he had fulfilled it promptly, the other party would surely cooperate with the Bright Hall.
This way, the Bright Hall could officially enter the Hua Xia ruins and search for things related to the Bright Heart.
And he would be greatly rewarded for it.
One must know that the Bright Hall had suffered heavy losses at the entrance of the Hua Xia ruins before, and had not even managed to enter.
Therefore, after doing all this, the Bright Hall would definitely give him an exceeding reward.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Just then, the door was finally knocked.
Bruny came back to his senses, his eyes shining with more excitement. He immediately instructed the massaging women to open the door.
The next moment, as the two women opened the door, they gasped in shock, terror flashing in their eyes.
Standing before them was Saladin, who had negotiated with Ye Cangtian earlier. He was deathly pale and still bleeding.
This sight frightened the two women greatly, and they left the room without a word.
*Click!*
Saladin closed the door and walked up to Bruny, gritting his teeth.
“Saladin, well done. I will put in a good word for you when I get back…”
At this moment, Bruny was still lying on the bed and did not see Saladin’s miserable state. He thought the other party had come to deliver good news, so he promised to recommend him for a merit.
With those words, Saladin’s face turned as red as a monkey’s backside.
He didn’t know what kind of storm he would face for interrupting the other party’s pleasant dream and informing him of the truth, but he had to tell the truth.
Thinking this, he braced himself and said, “Lord Bruny, the peace talks have failed. Ye Cangtian was playing us for fools!”
What!
Bruny immediately jumped up from the bed and turned to look at Saladin. He then saw the blood dripping on the floor.
“You’re injured?”
“What exactly happened!”
Bruny glared fiercely at Saladin. He thought the cooperation was a sure thing and was just about to report it to the Bright Hall.
So when the other party said this, he couldn’t believe it.
But seeing Saladin’s blood-soaked body, he understood that the other party was not joking, and quickly began to inquire.
“Those pills were Ye Cangtian’s first condition.”
“His second condition was for you to apologize with your death to the Hua Xia heroes who died in this operation…”
Feeling the other party’s icy gaze, Saladin quickly stepped forward and briefly explained what had happened.
*Bang!*
Hearing Saladin’s account, Bruny’s anger erupted. He kicked the bed next to him, shattering it.
“Outrageous!”
“I sincerely sought cooperation with you, and you actually want my life! This is simply too much!”
“Damn it, you ungrateful bastards, I will make you pay a heavy price…”
Watching Bruny’s enraged roar, Saladin’s face turned pale. He lowered his head and dared not utter a sound.
At this moment, he didn’t want to attract the other party’s attention, lest he become a vent for his anger.
After a long while, the roaring stopped. Bruny finally suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at Saladin, and asked, “How much did you lose?”
“Reporting to you, sir, my team had a total of 27 people. Except for me, everyone else was killed by Ye Cangtian, including two cardinals…”
Hearing Bruny’s question, Saladin lowered his head and replied in a low voice.
*Giggle giggle…*
Hearing this, Bruny’s teeth clenched in anger, his hands clenched into fists, trembling incessantly.
However, he tried to remain calm and did not punish Saladin.
After all, according to the Bright Hall’s outer division, Ye Cangtian was already a quasi-heavenly level expert. It was normal for him to wipe out Saladin’s squad.
And Saladin’s survival was considered lucky.
On this point, he was still quite rational.
Thinking this, he said, “Don’t think too much about it. The difference in strength cannot be compensated by numbers. Go back and recuperate! Oh, and hand over the pills.”
Seeing Bruny’s outstretched hand, Saladin broke out in a cold sweat.
He braced himself and said weakly, “The pills were snatched by Ye Cangtian…”
*Bang!*
Before Saladin could finish speaking, Bruny kicked him directly, sending him crashing heavily against the wall.
“Say that again!”
Saladin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice, “Sir, Ye Cangtian’s only target was the pills. If I wanted to survive, I could only abandon the pills.
Besides, even if I died defending them, the pills would still end up with Ye Cangtian after my death…”
*Bang, bang, bang…*
Before Saladin could finish, Bruny started attacking. His aged fists landed on the other party one after another, eliciting heart-wrenching screams.
In his eyes, the failure of cooperation was due to Ye Cangtian’s insincerity, but the loss of the pills was definitely Saladin’s incompetence!
Moreover, in his eyes, those pills were definitely more important than Saladin’s life!
Therefore, he attacked without hesitation, roaring as he did so, “Ye Cangtian, I will make you wish you were dead…”
Clearly, he had mistaken Saladin for Ye Cangtian and was venting his rage…
…
Early morning, the family compound.
Ye Cangtian hummed a tune as he crossed the gate of the family compound.
Seeing Old Master Xu practicing Tai Chi under a tree, he didn’t disturb him. He directly went behind him, sat down, and crossed his legs to admire the performance.
“Brat, you’re here?”
“You seem to be in a good mood? Did something good happen yesterday?”
After a while, Old Master Xu noticed Ye Cangtian. Seeing his cheerful face, he immediately stopped and inquired.
“I dealt with some more people from the Bright Hall, but Saladin managed to escape…”
Ye Cangtian then reported the situation of the negotiation last night.
“Heh, have you gotten a bit too arrogant?”
“Such a big fish still got away, what’s there to be happy about?”
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s words, Old Master Xu glared at him impatiently.
Although Old Master Xu was very satisfied with this record, it was clearly much inferior to Ye Cangtian’s previous achievements.
So he didn’t understand why the other party was so happy!
“Here! The spoils of war!”
Ye Cangtian acted as if he hadn’t noticed Old Master Xu’s attitude and directly tossed the captured Qiankun bag over.
“What good stuff?”
Old Master Xu subconsciously asked. However, as soon as he received the Qiankun bag and glanced at the items inside, he was instantly stunned.
To be honest, this was the first time in his life he had seen so many Nine Revolutions Golden Pills and Enlightenment Pills with his own eyes.
It was inevitable that he would become somewhat excited.
After all, the rise of the Hidden Group was closely related to these pills.
The next moment, he looked at Ye Cangtian suspiciously and asked, “Kid, what do you mean by this?”
Among the Hua Xia forces, except for mission items, all other gains during the mission belonged to the individual.
So Old Master Xu was a little puzzled as to why Ye Cangtian had thrown the Qiankun bag to him.
“Ahem, what could I mean!”
“Of course, it’s to give all of this to you!”
Ye Cangtian gave Old Master Xu a helpless look.
The Dragon Group was clearly struggling when facing the Bright Hall. It was a good opportunity to hand over these spoils of war to the Dragon Group to boost their strength.
In fact, he had this idea before going to the Hidden Group, but he wanted to make it seem like these pills were produced in the Hua Xia ruins, so he put it aside for the time being.
Now that the time was ripe, he simply handed them over to the other party.
“Really?”
Old Master Xu asked suspiciously. Seeing Ye Cangtian nod helplessly, he burst into laughter.
The rise of the Hidden Group had made Old Master Xu envious, but those pills were Ye Cangtian’s private property, and he couldn’t bring himself to ask for them.
Now that he had received these pills, he was not only excited but also felt like he had found a treasure.
With these pills, the Dragon Group could also produce several more Earth-level experts. When the Bright Hall came to Hua Xia again, they would not be able to gain any advantage!
Thinking of this, Old Master Xu patted Ye Cangtian on the shoulder and said, “Kid, thank you for everything you’ve done for the Dragon Group. Rest assured, this old man will not disappoint you…”
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian waved his hand to interrupt him and said impatiently, “Stop, stop, it’s not that serious. This is all what I should do…”
