Chapter 1519: Chapter 390: Pushing Boundaries—Where Are My Kin?

He met Chi Yan’s fiery gaze with calm eyes, his voice neither arrogant nor servile, yet he continued with confidence:

"To us, the Mingwu Clan is just one of our cooperation partners. We provide them with the resources they need, and they pay the corresponding price—it’s merely a fair trade."

"Although the Mingwu Clan is one of our important partners, we respect every trade with them, but we also maintain an open attitude, willing to explore potential mutually beneficial cooperation with any trustworthy faction, including the Ascension Clan."

"The foundation of our Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is to provide value and uphold neutrality, rather than choosing sides or being attached to any party."

Ah Lan’s words resonated clearly in the hall.

He paused briefly, observing Chi Yan’s reaction, and then presented the real bait:

"As far as I know, the Ascension Clan’s frontline warbands have become entirely passive in the face of the Mingwu Clan’s assault, suffering heavy casualties, while the Mingwu Warriors’ attacks carry the trait ’Death Speech Corrosion.’ This type of venomous energy is extremely difficult to dispel, causing a large number of wounded Ascension warriors to be unable to recover combat power in a short time, instead becoming a burden that continuously consumes resources."

"For this, the Ascension Clan even voluntarily abandoned a batch of warriors, sending them to the Flesh Melting Furnace to be refined into Qi-Blood resources to supplement the front line."

Ah Lan’s words precisely hit one of the Ascension Clan’s greatest pain points.

If the issue of recovering the wounded cannot be effectively resolved, they cannot escape continuous bleeding, eventually being overwhelmed.

Chi Yan said nothing, quietly listening to Ah Lan continue.

At this moment, Ah Lan changed the pace of his speech:

"And our Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce conveniently possesses special resources for quickly healing all injuries. I believe you have already witnessed this on the battlefield, and in the core warriors of the Mingwu Clan."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yan stared at Ah Lan with burning eyes, neither confirming nor denying it.

It naturally understood the situation on the front line.

Especially the Mingwu Clan’s elite warbands, those core combat units, had an unusually fast recovery speed for their injuries.

Even when severely injured, they only need to briefly retreat behind the lines.

Soon they can re-enter battle almost in perfect condition, seemingly possessing an Undying Body.

It had originally thought this strange recovery ability was related to the rules mastered by the Mingwu Clan.

But after capturing some forces from the Cangxing Sea to understand the Mingwu Clan’s intelligence there, it learned that this rapid healing effectiveness comes from the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.

Ah Lan’s words were undoubtedly a great temptation for it.

If he could truly obtain such special healing items, Ascension Clan’s core combat units could also receive quick healing and re-enter the battlefield.

The major advantage of the Mingwu Clan on the battlefield would cease to exist.

In Chi Yan’s burning eyes, the flames leaped briefly, its massive body leaning slightly forward, increasing the sense of oppression:

"I am indeed very interested, but I am puzzled as to how your Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce plans to securely deliver these resources out of the Cangxing Sea?"

"As far as I know, the entire Cangxing Sea is currently under Mingwu Clan’s control. They have the full capability to block the resource transportation routes of the Gold Coin Chamber, intercepting all war resources destined for the Ascension Clan... So, how do you ensure that the resources can be safely delivered into my hands without any losses?"

Although Ah Lan’s conditions and promises were very tempting, Chi Yan still saw the enormous risk accompanying the transaction.

It even suspected that Ah Lan might have been sent by the Mingwu Clan.

The purpose was, under the guise of cooperation, to deplete the war resources of the Ascension Clan, without ever considering the transportation issue.

This could very well be a performance orchestrated by the Mingwu Clan themselves, taking away from the Ascension Clan a portion of their war resources while ridiculing them.

It could not imagine how the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce could supply the enemy under the direct eyes of the Mingwu Clan.

The Mingwu Clan would never just sit and watch strategic resources be transported unharmed into the hands of opposing forces.

Because the success of this transaction means that the frontline progression formed by countless Mingwu Warriors would be affected.

Its gaze firmly locked onto Ah Lan, awaiting an answer that could truly persuade it.

It needed definite assurances, not vague promises.

Faced with the inquiry, the prepared Ah Lan smiled and continued:

"It seems Clan Leader Chi Yan has limited understanding of our Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. Any resource purchased from our Gold Coin Chamber can choose to be delivered by us, with extra delivery fees based on the value of the resource, ensuring the resource safely reaches Ascension Island for completion of the transaction. If any accidents occur during delivery, all losses will be borne solely by our Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, unrelated to the buyer... In fact, our delivery service has never encountered any errors, and the success rate of resource deliveries remains at one hundred percent. That is our confidence."

After the words, Ah Lan paused briefly before continuing:

"Of course, if Clan Leader Chi Yan remains doubtful, perhaps you can purchase a small batch of resources to personally verify our ability."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yan proposed another plan:

"Why can’t your Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce send the resources to Ascension Island first, and once my clan has verified them, then pay the reward?"

Ah Lan, upon hearing this, shook his head decisively, his tone leaving no room for negotiation:

"Sorry, Clan Leader Chi Yan, our Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce has never had a ’payment upon delivery’ option."

"Full payment, then shipment—this is the iron law our Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce has stood by since its establishment, never making exceptions for any clan, nor will we make exceptions for the Ascension Clan. Our credibility is the best guarantee. If you cannot accept this... then unfortunately, this cooperation may not be possible."
