Chapter 646: 643, Good Relationship_1
Outside the Spring Eye at Mount Fuji, Su Yu was calmly using the Vermilion Bird’s fire to burn cultural artifacts one by one.
As he burned, he was also explaining to the Lunkete People in the Spring Eye the history of these artifacts and their symbolic meanings.
The rage of the Lunkete People inside the Spring Eye was surging in fits and bursts, their teeth gritted and eyes filled with fury.
If it weren’t for the fact that they cannot leave the range of the Spring Eye, they would have stormed out and torn Su Yu to pieces!
…
As the base’s commander, Kole’s anger level had reached an all-time high, even surpassing the time when Chairman Cass was assassinated.
Despite seething in anger, he continually reminded himself to stay rational.
He said to his subordinates around him in a deep voice:
“Everyone, beware. Do not be deceived by Su Yu! His intention for doing so is to trick us into leaving the Spring Eye and subsequently incur the singer’s punishment. We must not fall for this human’s deviously malicious ruse!”
Hearing their commander’s words, the subordinate forces’ anger subsided a bit.
Indeed, if they give in to their anger and leave the Spring Eye, they would fall into Su Yu’s trap.
What Su Yu was burning now was an ancient Skuru stone monument which gradually turned into stone dust under the flames of the Vermilion Bird.
Hearing Kole’s words, Su Yu paused his burning of the stone monument and innocently looked at him:
“You say I’m deliberately provoking you so you charge out of the Spring Eye? Are you insulting my intelligence or your own self-discipline?”
“Isn’t it the case?”
“Of course not!”
Su Yu looked at the Skuru army in front of him and earnestly said, “The reason why I am burning your cultural artifacts here is due to an agreement I have with your commander, Langqi.
7 days ago, I told Langqi, if he wanted to get back these artifacts, he had to bring enough gold to trade. If he didn’t in 7 days, I would burn these artifacts.
Now, 7 days have passed, no Skuru has contacted me, unwilling to pay even a tiny bit of gold.
You don’t care about your artifacts at all. How can you blame me when I burn them?”
As he said this, Su Yu released the satellite video he had recorded the day he said it as proof.
The Lunkete People inside the Spring Eye were stunned upon seeing the video where Su Yu indeed said those words.
If this was the case, then they couldn’t blame Su Yu!
Su Yu had given them a 7-day deadline, they… no, it should be said that Langqi had not taken the matter to heart.
Now that the time is up and Su Yu was burning the artifacts, it was entirely justified.
“Damn it! We didn’t know about this at all!”
“Damn, what the hell is Langqi doing!”
“I knew it, you can’t trust the Raging Sun People.”
“I get it now, these artifacts belong to us Lunkete People, so the Raging Sun People don’t care, right?”
“Not only did they not help us redeem the artifacts, but they didn’t even notify us?”
The high-ranking beings and officials in the base discussed loudly, diverting all their hatred toward Langqi.
….
The viewers in the live broadcast room saw Su Yu successful in his “divert the disaster elsewhere” strategy, their messages soaring in the comment section.
Fujiwara Chika was standing not far behind Su Yu, the corner of her mouth slightly lift, an unusual smile revealed on her face.
Seeing Fujiwara Chika smile, the comments in the section refreshed even faster.
Langqi saw this and knew he could not hesitate any longer.
If he let Su Yu continue burning, he was afraid the Lunkete People in the Spring Eye would eat him!
The expedition army headquarters was set up under the group of Space Cracks, Langqi quickly left the headquarters and flew toward the cracks above him, trying to save the situation at the Spring Eye at Mount Fuji as quickly as possible.
In the Spring Eye at Mount Fuji.
Commander Kole saw Su Yu’s eyes were already aiming at the next artifact, he quickly reached out to stop him: “Your Excellency Su Yu, don’t burn any more artifacts. We Lunkete People will trade you gold for the remaining artifacts!”
“Oh?” Su Yu momentarily paused, smiled and asked: “How much gold can you offer?”
Before Kole could answer, Langqi had already arrived.
The space cracks above Mount Fuji’s Spring Eye vibrated and contracted.
Accompanied by dazzling light, Langqi came through from the space crack, portraying his urgency.
Above the base at Mount Fuji, Langqi immediately shouted to the Lunkete army and Commander Kole below:
“Everyone, I am Langqi.
I am truly sorry, I’ve been busy formulating overall strategies and forgot about the fact that Su Yu still has the artifacts…”
Before Langqi could finish his words, a voice suddenly came from below: “What strategy? Can you share it with us?”
Langqi originally intended to give a brief description.
But he quickly discerned the voice was Su Yu’s, this made him swallow back the words that had reached the tip of his tongue.
He ignored Su Yu and continued: “The reason why I came so quickly is to rectify previous mistakes.
The Raging Sun Empire will take responsibility for redeeming these artifacts, all funds will come from the treasury of the Raging Sun Empire, and be returned to the Lunkete National Museum free of charge within 10 days.”
Hearing what Langqi said, the anger of the Skuru army below eased significantly.
They wanted to confront Langqi with “What were you doing before?”
But unity was more important at this critical junity before the great battle, they reluctantly forgave Langqi, not saying anything.
…
Langqi barely passed the hurdle of the Lunkete People, Su Yu wouldn’t let him pass easily.
Even if he did let Langqi pass, he would extract the greatest benefit from Langqi.
Su Yu crossed his arms, subtly smiling and said: “Your Excellency Langqi, you just said ‘The Raging Sun Empire will take responsibility for redeeming these artifacts’. But the time has surpassed 7 days, have you considered if I was unwilling to redeem these artifacts to you, and insisted on burning them?”
“You!” Langqi’s face turned extremely ugly.
Looking at Su Yu’s arrogant expression, he felt as if he had swallowed a Gretu Fly, feeling sick to his stomach.
The Lunkete People inside the base also cast sharp and hateful gazes upon Su Yu. If glares could kill, Su Yu would have already died many times over.
But Su Yu was entirely unbothered by these glares.
He looked up and down at the whole base and at Langqi who was quickly flying over in the sky.
Only after more than 10 seconds did he casually say:
“Never mind, these are after all your Lunkete artifacts. Considering the close and cordial relationship between my alliance and your Lunkete, reluctantly, I will agree to your request for redemption!
However, because you were late, you need to pay me twice the market price of the cultural artifacts in gold before I can give them back to you.”
Hearing Su Yu’s words, the Lunkete People inside the base wanted to cough blood.
Who has a “cordial relationship” with you? We haven’t even avenged our previous Chairman Cass’s blood feud yet!
Langqi also felt like coughing blood after hearing those words.
Each treasure in the Lunkete National Museum is priceless! He wants to double the price? Why doesn’t he rob them instead?
