Chapter 1433: Promise

Chapter 1433: Chapter 1433: Promise

When Wang Wenze spoke, he didn’t use the common language of the Magic plane but instead spoke in Mandarin. However, his tone and the look in his eyes made Billbom feel that he wasn’t saying anything nice. Pei Yan glanced at him, waved the cigar in his hand, and deliberately joked in the common language, "No rush to give him a chance to persuade me; isn’t there still half a cigar’s worth of time?"

"Surrender! We are willing to surrender to Mr. Pei!" Billbom no longer cared about the dignity that at this moment had become irrelevant, eagerly surrendering to Pei Yan for the survival of his family. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Alright! Then let..."

"Fool!" Pei Yan’s words were cut off by Moira, who was being guarded nearby. She glared at the newcomers with red eyes and angrily shouted, "The honor of the Vlad family has been squandered by you all! Do you think surrendering will let you survive? Can you not see by now that this person never intended to let any of our family members leave alive? Who is in charge of the family now! Rusfan? Jert? Who would make such a decision?"

"Honor? The honor of the family has already been buried along with you and your father. Those esteemed ones you mentioned have all died along with your father’s mission. Now, Duke Vlad Hope is in charge." Billbom squinted after hearing her words, carefully scrutinized the person in front of him who looked nothing like a person, bedraggled and pitiful, and then coldly mocked.

"Hope?" Radu and Moira exchanged glances. From Pei Yan’s words, they learned of their father’s failure, but they didn’t realize that such a failure had brought such a blow to the family. Hope, who was once pushed out of the decision-making center by their father, was now presiding over family affairs. Only now did they realize how weakened the Vlad family had become.

"Are you done arguing?"

Pei Yan’s slightly displeased words immediately drew Billbom’s attention back. Pei Yan looked at the blood race envoy who had regained his respectful gaze and continued his earlier words, "Why should I accept your surrender?"

"Mr. Pei, the main conflict within the Vlad family originates from the Delacuri lineage. Now that Delacuri is dead, his two offspring have fallen into your hands. If you feel that this alone cannot extinguish your anger, we are willing to offer up Delacuri’s last son and all his confidants, hoping to resolve our enmity." Billbom bowed and replied.

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan scoffed and glanced around before finally resting his gaze upon the two Vlad brothers. He pursed his lips and couldn’t help but lament, "Such is the coldness of the world! Moira! Your father fought until the end for the rise of the family, but as soon as he died, your tribesmen couldn’t wait to hand over his descendants for self-preservation. Is this the tradition of your family?"

Within Pei Yan’s mocking words, the three Vlad family members present chose to remain silent. Two out of sorrow, and one out of fear and embarrassment. Seeing them all silent, Pei Yan turned to Billbom, exhaled smoke dismissively, and said, "Do you think these are worthy conditions? Don’t make me laugh, okay? I don’t need to buy favor by betraying the tribe! As long as I keep bombing, I’ll achieve my goal!" With that, Pei Yan turned to Jiang Feiyang, pretended to be dissatisfied, and said, "Old Jiang! Why isn’t the bomb noise more consistent? Did you skip breakfast? Keep bombing! Bomb harder!"

"Alright!" Knowing that Pei Yan was mocking the other side, Jiang Feiyang didn’t expose him and nodded supportively. He moved to the newly cleared area organized by the members of the investigation hall and activated several rocket launchers to join the battle.

"Mr. Pei, not only are we willing to offer Delacuri’s lineage to express our sincerity, but we are also willing to disband and give up control over all affiliated families. If this still does not satisfy you, the Vlad family is willing to join the investigation hall, accept the supervision and deployment of the investigation hall, and serve Mr. Pei." Seeing Pei Yan’s cigar nearly down to its end, Billbom urgently revealed the family’s discussed bottom line.

"You really think our investigation hall is a trash can, accepting whoever comes?" Although Pei Yan’s words were harsh, he looked up with a hint of interest.

Seeing this, Billbom knew it was a crucial moment. If he could now sway the man in front of him, the family’s crisis might resolve. He couldn’t care less at the moment and privately offered the condition again, pleading, "In addition to this, we are willing to offer up our family’s accumulated private reserves over the years. This is a substantial resource that I believe would be useful for your organization, which is on the rise."

"Alright! I must admit this offer is very tempting, even I’m a bit moved! A resource that could greatly increase the organization’s strength, along with hundreds of strong subordinates! Who wouldn’t be tempted by such conditions?" As Pei Yan said this, Lei Youting, embodied in the mechanical body beside him, slowly bowed her head. She made no comment, thinking Pei Yan had already done enough for her; she now had no further value. Pei Yan removing the main culprit lineage fulfilled his promise, which should be enough comfort for her family in heaven.

Lei Youting thought this, yet Pei Yan changed his tone and continued, "But regrettably, before this, I promised someone else that I would completely eradicate the Vlad family. So, your life and death are not in my hands but whether that person is willing to accept."

"That person? Who is that person?" Billbom asked Pei Yan, looking confused.

Pei Yan sidestepped his mechanical proxy and pointed at it, saying, "It’s her! Don’t say I deceived you, alright? That person’s soul is now residing within this body. If you can persuade her to spare you, I have no objections."

"Honored sir or madam, what conditions do you desire us to fulfill? We, the Vlad family, will exert every effort to meet them," Billbom didn’t know whether the soul within the mechanical proxy was male or female, so he tentatively asked. Just after this question, before the mechanical proxy could answer, Moira, who was kneeling, inexplicably burst into laughter.

Billbom didn’t understand what was so funny about his question that made Moira laugh so hysterically, rolling on the ground. He merely deemed it the final delirium of a defeated person, no longer looking at her but instead focusing his hopes on the mechanical proxy.

"Brother Pei, I..." Lei Youting turned to Pei Yan, controlling her body, her tone filled with confusion and helplessness. She didn’t know how to answer, unsure if her response would disadvantage Pei Yan’s decision.
