Chapter 1245: Chapter 1107: Business?

Facing Bentley’s retort, the Five Short Supreme firmly denied his side’s intention to forcefully buy and sell.

He repeatedly emphasized that Hongyun’s actions so far were just negotiation tactics!

Silver Fir remained silent, merely watching coldly. He didn’t think the other party was bluffing—these people might truly think this way.

In the eyes of capital, there is only profit. They sell ropes without fearing they’ll hang themselves, let alone others?

Bentley had no interest in further discussion with the other side, "If you’re not forcing a sale, you can leave!"

"But you... killed him!" Five Short Supreme pointed to the Modified Warrior behind him, "This is a serious matter!"

A strange smile appeared on Bentley’s lips, "The opportunity was given to you, but you didn’t cherish it."

"Isn’t it just an A-level Spiritual Attribute? What’s the big deal?"

Upon hearing this, Five Short Supreme was momentarily taken aback, blinked twice, then nodded thoughtfully.

Finally, he spoke through clenched teeth, "You really... know, huh!"

Generally, a Modified Warrior wouldn’t dare to interrupt when a Supreme is speaking. Even A-level warriors rarely have the courage.

The A-level Spiritual Attribute warrior behind him was one of his trump cards for this trip.

Hongyun Financial Group is wealthy, and truly doesn’t care about these energy stone tailings, but a powerful force must have proper cards.

The mine may not be bought, but losing face is unacceptable.

Therefore, the group specially dispatched an A-level Spiritual Attribute along and concealed his aura, disguising him as a Modified Warrior.

Five Short Supreme knew well, don’t underestimate someone just because they’re A-level; within the group, their importance was no less than his own.

This important individual was casually shot dead by the other side, giving him a murderous impulse!

But upon hearing the other side acknowledge recognizing the origins of his companion, he was angrily yet secretly relieved.

——I thought, there’s no way such coincidences occur in the world; most serendipities are inevitable.

However, he immediately grew angry again, "Since you’re aware, have you considered the consequences?"

"What consequences?" Bentley replied carelessly, "He could kill Kading, can’t others kill him?"

This was just informed to him through Spiritual Power by Silver Fir, mentioning that the one he killed was an A-level Spiritual Attribute.

And Bentley wasn’t dull; he quickly connected the dots through the traits of the Spiritual Attribute.

Altercations after drinking in the club aren’t uncommon, but an A-level being killed by ordinary individuals is very rare.

If one or two among the killers were affected by mental suggestions, leading to emotional contagion among their peers, it would be understandable.

"Kading?" Five Short Supreme was visibly stunned for a moment; he didn’t have time to remember those minor figures.

Luckily, he finally recalled the name that had appeared frequently recently.

Then he snorted lightly, "Who killed Kading? We must speak with evidence."

"Coward who won’t own their actions," Bentley snorted disdainfully, then raised his voice.

"Release high-voltage electromagnetic into the water and electrocute out the Water Attribute Supreme!"

He had fired two Electromagnetic Techniques earlier, aiming to attack the Water Attribute Supreme hiding in the water.

Supposedly, the river is the domain of Water Attribute Awakened, even the defenses of fragile ones would become stronger.

However, the Supreme in the water had stealthily infiltrated in the evening, being very cautious about concealment, without even donning protective armor.

Fortunately, Silver Fir’s Perception was strong enough to notice the other side and quietly informed Bentley.

Though this Water Attribute Supreme was a tough character, after taking two hits, he still insisted on hiding in the river.

Yet, his accompanying Water Attribute A-level couldn’t withstand it, now floating on the river surface, with Ping’an’s speedboat salvaging.

Upon hearing this, Five Short Supreme’s face immediately changed, "Let’s see who dares!"

Hongyun came this time, announcing only him as Supreme, but actually, they prepared some covert plays.

The Water Attribute Supreme and the A-level Spiritual Attribute were two very crucial cards.

Now with one card dead and another injured, the advantage had mostly vanished.

Nonetheless, he issued a threat, but Bentley simply waved nonchalantly, "Let’s see who dares to stop them!"

Ping’an’s people were already resistant to the opponent’s Supreme, and now hearing their Supreme speak, naturally, they were unwilling to yield.

But when Hongyun’s people heard the words, their eyes really bulged with rage.

Yet, Bentley and his seven remained seated, none had donned armor, like statues, coldly calm and terrifying.

We must admit, aura objectively exists.

Hongyun’s people were furious internally, but seeing this scene, even the most agitated had to consider calmly: Is this opposition easy to provoke?

Many dare to face down a gun barrel, but very few can remain composed.

Not to mention among the seven opponents, not one flinched—even the two female B-level warriors were indifferent.

Some couldn’t withstand this aura, stood up, and walked toward the river—to rescue people rather than stay here.

However, these individuals were driven away by Ping’an Security, and both sides pushed and shoved, even engaging in brawls.

The conflict below did not affect the main battlefield of the two groups.

The group from Bentley remained expressionless, but the people from Hongyun were visibly grim-faced.

The Five Short Supreme really wanted to argue, but he couldn’t; circumstances prevented it.

His two trump cards either dead or injured, and the chances of making a move now are clear from observing the opponent’s demeanor.

So, after a few seconds of hesitation, he decisively stood up, "Fine, today you’ve got the upper hand. I hope you won’t regret it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to lead his people away.

"Stop," Bentley spoke coldly, "Did I give you permission to leave?"

The Five Short Supreme turned to face him, glaring coldly, "What do you want? I advise you not to go too far!"

Bentley ignored him, turning his head towards Silver Fir, "Kill that Water Attribute Supreme!"

His words sounded like an order, but the three from Zi Jiu Immortal knew this was actually a request for the boss’s approval.

Silver Fir nodded slightly, although a robot couldn’t wield High Tier Technique, bullying an injured fragile Supreme wasn’t difficult.

With a flicker of his body, he dashed out, and the Five Short Supreme hurriedly shouted, "Wait! We can talk this out... huh?"

Of course, Silver Fir wouldn’t listen to him. It was the time of day when dusk hadn’t fully settled, the visibility was most blurred, and he vanished instantly.

"Damn!" The Five Short Supreme stamped his feet angrily, but didn’t chase after him.

If he made a move now, it would undoubtedly escalate into an all-out melee; those six statues across didn’t really stand motionless.

He was very certain of this.

As for the result of the melee... need it be said? With the loss of two trump cards, he had no hope of winning.

Next, he was likely to bury all Hongyun’s personnel on Purple Star.

His combat ability was strong, but he was better at negotiation, and such judgments flashed through his mind instantly.

The next moment, he turned to Bentley, speaking through gritted teeth, "Are you determined to oppose our Hongyun?"

"What’s wrong with you?" Bentley exploded instantly; in fact, he was never anyone with a good temper.

He rarely spoke and seldom got angry over trivial matters, but that was simply because he couldn’t be bothered. He was the kind to flip and kill when crossed.

Now he planned to argue a bit, "Who started opposing whom first?"

"Business! This is just business!" The Five Short Supreme quickly responded, "You don’t agree, you could’ve just said so!"

Bentley’s eyes narrowed, and he asked sinisterly, "From beginning to end, did we ever indicate agreement?"

The Five Short Supreme was momentarily speechless; his original intention was, "Even if you don’t agree, we’ll make it so you have to agree."

Then he decisively expressed, "Fine, let’s not talk about it anymore. We’re willing to offer appropriate compensation for any losses we’ve caused your side."

No way of negotiating any further, with two trump cards gone, he had no means to resort to violence.

If negotiations failed, compensation was necessary, and this wasn’t embarrassing; it’s business after all.

As for the dead Spiritual Attribute A-level... well, they could only stay dead.

Entering a business naturally involves risk; failure inevitable costs something, this was common knowledge.

If anyone in the group was dissatisfied, they could handle it themselves; he wasn’t going to accompany them.

"Compensation?" Bentley laughed; he was the type of person who hardly laughed once a year.

"Whether you suggest it or not, compensation is required. You really thought we traveled far for no cost, or do you think we’re just free?"

"So, name a figure," the Five Short Supreme, having accepted defeat, accepted it thoroughly, "Oh right, tell your people to stop!"

"Too late," Silver Fir already appeared at the door, holding a dripping corpse.

Amid the conflict, there were not only various Techniques but also gunfire at the scene, though it didn’t affect the negotiation parties.

With Silver Fir now carrying a body back, no one really knew how he killed the person.

Supposedly, with the Five Short Supreme’s Spiritual Power, he should have sensed it.

But Bentley’s pressure was too immense, and all his attention was focused on the other party, not noticing how his own people died.

But seeing the corpse’s attire, he was furious again, "You... dare kill our Supreme!"

"What’s unacceptable about that?" Bentley looked at him indifferently, "Is killing a Supreme forbidden?"

"You..." The Five Short Supreme didn’t know what to say; to ordinary people, a Supreme naturally shouldn’t be killed casually.

But the other side... certainly wasn’t ordinary, they were ruthless killers.

In their eyes, there might not be much difference between a Supreme and an ordinary person.

Forget it, the Five Short Supreme gritted his teeth, sighing inwardly.

With the loss of an A-level Spiritual Attribute already suffered, losing another Supreme... it’s just that way.

This is business; when in the wrong, stepping back once often leads to stepping back another time.

He sighed softly, "As for Nalisha... she has quite a few admirers; in future, there may be trouble for you."

Nalisha was the Water Attribute Supreme, beautiful in appearance.

Surprisingly, the opponent was so ruthless that they didn’t hesitate even facing such a beauty.
