Chapter 1221: Chapter 1085-1086: Confrontation - Black Humor (Double Chapter)

Chapter 1085 Direct Confrontation (First update for Master He Meng’s Boss Lady)

Si Xi knew very well that what he said might not be able to scare the other party.

But at this very moment, he had no other choice.

Given the other party’s ruthlessness, if he didn’t do something, they would definitely kill all of his people mercilessly.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to swallow his pride and even, in front of many subordinates, expressed willingness to "consider compensation."

At this moment, he truly meant what he said. When lives are at stake, what does a little compensation matter?

This humiliation he remembered secretly though and if he managed to escape, he would surely confront them again in the future to see who was harder.

What worried him more now was: Would the other party believe his words?

In fact, Qu Jianlei upon hearing this, just sneered, do you really think I’m that naïve?

Not to mention the opponent might be just bluffing, even if what they said was true, he wouldn’t let this guy go!

The enmity was already established, basically a fight to the death, with no room for compassion or mercy.

At the very least, after dealing with the opponent, he could use the window period to quickly relocate with Qinghu and the others along with the equipment.

He really didn’t believe that Si Xi would record all those little thoughts in their communications.

As long as there’s a bit of ambiguity in the words, he could use the opportunity to argue his way out.

Just when he was about to voice his outright rejection, Nutrient Injection spoke, "Why not... agree to him first?"

Qu Jianlei looked at him in surprise, furrowed his brows slightly, "Why? Don’t tell me you believe in his character."

"I don’t intend to believe his words," Nutrient Injection replied casually, "I just want to understand why this guy is targeting us."

Qu Jianlei shook his head upon hearing this, "He may not tell you the truth, and I already know why he’s playing dirty..."

He confirmed the information just now, as Si Xi was chatting with his colleagues, revealing his motive.

Originally, Si Xi didn’t want to disclose it because he was afraid of others taking credit.

However, he had already blocked the target outside the planet, achieving it was just a matter of time, so he explained to his colleagues.

In any case, others wouldn’t have time to make any arrangements, he clarified the cause and effect, better encouraging everyone’s cooperation.

And just as he was explaining, Little Lake had already infiltrated the systems of various starships.

However, Little Lake’s initial intent was merely to predict the opponent’s attack, without any significant reaction.

Si Xi, of course, wouldn’t know the starship was already being monitored,

After hearing the dialogue transmitted by Little Lake, Qu Jianlei then realized, the opponent’s target was indeed the Five Elements Battle Array!

To be honest, he really couldn’t understand how someone with a normal intellect could be so overconfident.

But thinking of the rumored strength of Si Xi the Supreme, he wasn’t that surprised.

When heavens rage, it rains; when men rage, they get into trouble. Once inflated with arrogance, a person easily loses sight of things.

Nutrient Injection hearing Qu Jianlei’s words, also had mixed reactions, couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Truly eye-opening, people can be foolish to such an extent... don’t they have such basic awareness?"

"Just driven by greed," Qu Jianlei was a bit uninterested, "It doesn’t have much to do with stupidity... Do you still want to agree with him?"

"Why not?" Nutrient Injection batted his eyes, "I still want to know more from his mouth."

"You’re..." Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, he could ascertain, this guy wasn’t sincerely wanting to let the opponent go.

But this kind of thing of speaking lies with open eyes, he was too lazy to do, Nutrient Injection had such wicked taste, he also... showed understanding.

"Play however you want, but I hope, don’t waste too much time."

Nutrient Injection was stunned by the words, then laughed, "Waste time... Do you think I’m really that idle?"

"I just want to trick them out of the starship, and collect a couple more starships, isn’t that good?"

"I support this idea!" Paranoid was the first to give a thumbs up, "Business-minded!"

Those who can achieve the Supreme, rarely take an interest in unrelated matters.

Paranoid initially thought Nutrient Injection was just messing with the opponent for fun, and didn’t take it seriously.

But once money was mentioned, he immediately changed his attitude - it seemed there was a bit of economic pressure on everyone lately.

Big Head Butterfly went even further, twisting his body non-stop, "Good, that’s what it means to live competently."

"Alright then," Qu Jianlei nodded, "You communicate with the opponent, and speak up if you need help."

Nutrient Injection, without modesty, picked up the comm-transmitter, "So, Si Xi... How much compensation can you offer?"

"How much to offer..." Si Xi, hearing this, was truly pleasantly surprised.

For him now, the issue isn’t about money — things that can be solved by spending money aren’t really problems.

However, he wasn’t a rookie and wouldn’t think the opponent was genuinely that easygoing.

After all, the opponent had proposed conditions, he could only agree, but definitely shouldn’t seem too eager.

Otherwise, not to mention the future, even this hurdle in front might not be easy.

So he thought for a moment and said, "This misunderstanding, is due to our questioning of the origin of the Five Elements Battle Array..."

Since the decision was to feign ignorance, surely a plausible excuse is needed, undoubtedly, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

Then naturally comes the promises, "Since the misunderstanding began with the Secret Technique, it should also end with the Secret Technique."

"If the compensation you need only involves money, then no problem, three to five billion is negotiable."
