"...The truth is not what you see."
"Oh? Is that so?" Su Feng smiled dismissively. "Since it was an accident, why did Commander Xu choose to destroy the evidence and cover up the truth?"
Everything has already exposed Marshal Xu's evil deeds.
And he had nowhere to escape!
Having been exposed to his face, Commander Xu decided not to continue making excuses. "I have nothing to say... but I hope this matter can end here."
As he spoke, he looked in Su Feng's direction and said with a fawning smile, "I know that Young Master Su is a businessman, and he should understand one thing: everything in this world is negotiable..."
He pointed towards the door and whispered, as if only Su Feng could hear, "As long as Young Master Su agrees not to pursue the matter further and is willing to return this corpse to me, the three chests of gold and the chest of jewels outside the door will all be yours..."
Although the voice was very soft, the others present still heard it.
"You, you're trying to bribe us?" Annie gasped, finding it hard to believe.
Why is Commander Xu so shameless, acting as if nothing happened at a time like this?
"I wasn't talking to you!" Commander Xu glared fiercely at Annie and said sternly, "I'm talking to Young Master Su right now, it has nothing to do with you!"
His ferocious expression startled Annie, and the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat.
"Hehe..." Commander Xu looked at Su Feng again, his smile changing in an instant, "Of course, I know Young Master Su doesn't care about that little bit of money... but there's something Young Master Su might be interested in..."
"Luhua Town has been planning to open a trade route in recent years, intending to connect with foreign countries. I've heard that Young Master Su is quite an expert in this area..."
"If Young Master Su is willing to grant me this small request, then from now on, Young Master Su's business can be brought here. The entire Deer Flower Town, no... all the areas under my jurisdiction, can be handed over to Young Master Su to make his mark!"
His move was a risky one, but also a decisive one.
He had already heard about Su Feng from Jiang Dalong before; Su Feng was a prominent businessman in the Renjia Town area.
Using money to bribe someone is obviously a bit vulgar.
So why not be more decisive and go all out?
"Young Master Su, you should know that in the area under my jurisdiction, there has never been any contact with outside merchants. You are the first one."
Commander Xu's proposal was incredibly tempting.
Even Jiang Dalong, who was furious behind him, felt a little flustered after hearing this.
If he were Su Feng, then this "deal" would be quite a bargain!
Since Luhua Town has never had any imported goods before, introducing foreign products would be unprecedented, making it the first place to do so!
The first sip of soup is always the most nutritious!
And the value hidden within is limitless!
Anyone would find it hard to refuse.
That's why Jiang Dalong is so uneasy right now...
What should he do if Young Master Su agrees?
He's now openly going against Commander Xu, determined to defeat him...
If this matter is left unresolved, and then Marshal Xu settles scores later, wouldn't he be finished?
Not only Jiang Dalong thought so, but Annie and Qinghai, who were standing to the side, also cast worried glances at Su Feng.
"Hehe, Young Master Su, you should think it over carefully. This is a long-term business deal. If I cooperate with you again later, the whole world will be ours!"
Seeing that Su Feng did not answer, Commander Xu suddenly raised his voice.
There is a play!
Silence is the best answer!
She must be hesitating, attracted by the conditions he offered!
"We can still..."
Just as Commander Xu was about to use words to continue enticing him, Su Feng decisively interrupted.
The three words that slipped out were like a bolt from the blue, stunning Commander Xu into a daze.
"I reject."
Su Feng responded without changing his expression, his face remaining completely unchanged.
Commander Xu was dumbfounded. "Young Master Su, what do you mean? Haven't I made myself clear enough? This is a huge business opportunity, a..."
“You’re right.” Before Commander Xu could finish speaking, Su Feng continued, “Take Deer Flower Town as an example. Given its backwardness in all aspects, if introducing foreign goods can improve the local living conditions, it will be quite beneficial for me…”
"However, this deal doesn't necessarily require us to cooperate with you."
His last words startled Commander Xu so much that he took several steps back.
He was so angry that he was trembling all over, and his eyes were so red that they looked like they could bleed.
"What do you mean by this?" he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I am the commander-in-chief who rules this area. No one is allowed here without my permission..."
“That’s exactly what I wanted to say,” Su Feng said with a meaningful smile. “As long as you’re not here, everything will be fine.”
fear……
Endless terror.
This is a blatant threat, an indication of death.
Xu Dashuai's mind went blank; no thoughts could get through.
At this moment, the gaze he felt from Su Feng was so cold and ruthless, like sharp arrows piercing his chest.
As long as you're not here, everything will be fine...
Only Su Feng's last words echoed in my ears.
It's as obvious as it gets.
This is not so much about bringing him down, but rather about making him disappear from this world completely!
When fear reaches its extreme, it becomes anger.
"You'd better think carefully about who you're going against! I have fifty thousand soldiers under my command!" Commander Xu's teeth were grinding, his eyes wide like saucers. "Even if you're capable, do you really think you can stand against my fifty thousand soldiers!"
Su Feng remained unfazed and calmly raised an eyebrow. "We can give it a try."
In an instant, all of Xu Dashuai's confidence and courage were drained away.
The fear that surged within him made his brain buzz.
But he knew very well that the boy in front of him was not joking!
These words were full of confidence!
It is absolutely certain!
At this moment, he had completely lost in terms of momentum.
Reason urged him to leave immediately; if he stayed any longer, he might scream in fear.
"So... are you planning to break things off, or obediently hand over the Five Demon Gu?" Su Feng asked.
0 ······Requesting flowers···· ··
At this moment, Commander Xu had lost his previous arrogance and became hesitant.
It took him a long time to respond.
"I... will bring it over later."
This is nothing but a delaying tactic!
He would never hand over the Five Demon Cups to anyone!
There's clearly no chance of winning against Su Feng here... It's better to go back and gather troops, and then raze this place to the ground!
"Alright, then I'll wait here for your good news, Commander." Su Feng smiled meaningfully and watched Commander Xu leave.
……
"call--"
Seeing Xu Dashuai's figure disappear into the distance, Jiang Dalong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Young Master Su, you really scared me to death just now..."
"What, do you think I would agree to Commander Xu's conditions?" Su Feng smiled dismissively, which made Jiang Dalong somewhat embarrassed.
That's exactly what he thought.
If Young Master Su really becomes "partners" with Commander Xu, then he'll be in big trouble.
"Thank you, Young Master Su!" Annie said gratefully, bowing repeatedly to Su Feng. "Thank you for always being on my side, Young Master Su!"
"No need to be polite, I'm just doing what I should do."
Su Feng looked at the dim light outside the door and slowly narrowed his eyes.
He wasn't unmoved by Marshal Xu's proposal... but, as he said, he could handle the deal entirely on his own and didn't need to rely on anyone.
Moreover, if Jiang Dalong were to replace Commander Xu, the result would be the same.
It's not necessary to cooperate with that bald guy.
"Fellow Daoist Su, do you really believe he will obediently listen to you?"
Qinghai then walked over, arms crossed, and said with a solemn expression, "Given Commander Xu's personality, he probably won't compromise so easily. This time, we'll let him leave..."
. 0 0
"If he really uses force against us, that will be troublesome."
Qinghai spoke on behalf of the others present.
Marshal Xu was no pushover; his ability to rise to the position of warlord proved his ruthlessness.
As the saying goes, it's better to fight a wolf naked than to look a scorpion in the eye.
After all, that venomous stinger could strike at any moment...
"Although I hate Commander Xu, what the Qinghai Taoist is right... With Commander Xu's current forces, I really can't do anything about it."
Jiang Dalong pursed his lower lip and nodded with a resolute gaze, "But if Commander Xu really wants to start a war, I will do my best!"
