Chapter 731

At this, the few people from the Treasure Pavilion grew uneasy.

At four in the afternoon, the three from the Treasure Pavilion arrived at Su Yang's office.

"Have a seat!" Su Yang pointed to the sofa opposite him. "Sit on the sofa."

Liu Mengyun entered and served them three cups of tea.

Xi Yao studied Su Yang curiously; Su Yang sat in his chair, exerting immense pressure on Xi Yao.

His face was wrapped in bandages, making his expression unreadable.

Xi Yao could only see his bloodshot eyes.

The ferocious beast egg she had handed to Liu Mengyun last night sat prominently on Su Yang's desk.

Su Yang ordered: "Deputy Officer Liu, show them the evidence!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Liu Mengyun handed three copies of the documents detailing the Treasure Pavilion members' crimes to the two King-level experts and Xi Yao.

"Take a look first!"

"Alright!"

The two King-level experts and Xi Yao all gave Su Yang due respect.

After all, they were currently in need of his help.

Moreover, Su Yang was a genius with King-level Beast Tamer combat power.

They would not underestimate him.

In ten minutes, the three had scanned the documents; their expressions had all turned grim.

Before coming, they had learned through connections what Su Yang had reported to the Southeast Military Department.

But this was the first time they saw the original documents.

If members of the hunting squads had killed military personnel in the wild and gone undiscovered, it would've been fine—but if uncovered, the Treasure Pavilion couldn't protect them.

Su Yang asked: "Have you all finished reading?"

"Finished!"

All of this is supported by evidence. I haven't executed everyone from your Treasure Pavilion who committed crimes; the two senior officers who were aware are still imprisoned—you and the military can interrogate them anytime!

Su Yang's actions left no loopholes.

His killings were justified!

"I know you Treasure Pavilion are merchants who value harmony for profit. These hunting squad members killing our military personnel were certainly not ordered by your headquarters!"

Old Fan hurriedly replied: "We beg your lordship, Su Chengzhu, to see clearly: our Treasure Pavilion has never intended to oppose the military. Those hunting squad members who attacked military personnel from Mount Dajiao acted out of greed and on their own initiative!"

The Treasure Pavilion dared not say otherwise—the attacks by Mount Dajiao hunting squad members on military personnel were indeed ordered by them!

Su Yang was not at all surprised by Old Fan's answer.

Unless they wanted to die and directly challenge the entire Huaxia Federation!

When he asked that question, the Treasure Pavilion had no choice but to give this exact reply.

Su Yang smiled and asked: "When the forest is large, all kinds of birds appear. The killings of military personnel certainly have nothing to do with your Treasure Pavilion headquarters. Those Beast Tamers from Mount Dajiao hunting squads who attacked our military personnel are merely the rotten apples, the bad elements—correct?"

Old Fan nodded: "Yes! Su Chengzhu is right—they are rotten apples, bad elements!"

Su Yang countered: "So if I dig out these pests and kill them all, helping your Treasure Pavilion clean out the rotten apples… you wouldn't blame me, would you?"

Old Fan took a deep breath: "How could our Treasure Pavilion blame Su Chengzhu?"

Su Yang spread his hands and smiled: "You shouldn't just not blame me—you should thank me, right?"

The three from the Treasure Pavilion twitched violently at the corners of their mouths.

They had never met such an audaciously shameless person!

He killed their people and demanded thanks!

How thick-skinned must one be to say such a thing?

By that logic, should they also give him a gift?

Su Yang said casually: "The gift… isn't necessary."

The three from the Treasure Pavilion all widened their eyes.

So Su Yang had actually considered asking them for a gift?

Liu Mengyun lowered her head silently; she realized she had always underestimated her superior's shamelessness!

Her ten toes nearly dug out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment from the floor!

Su Yang was constantly reshaping Liu Mengyun's perception of him!

"Liao Yuankai, as store manager of the Treasure Pavilion in Mount Dajiao, heard of his subordinates' crimes but failed to report them—he is equally guilty!"

Just as Xi Yao was about to speak, Su Yang raised his hand, signaling her to stay silent.

Su Yang continued: "But his crime doesn't warrant death. I'll imprison him for a while as punishment, and if the Treasure Pavilion pays the compensation and fine, I'll release him. The other hunting squad member from your Treasure Pavilion committed no major offense—I'll release him too."

Old Fan said: "Su Chengzhu is magnanimous!"

This resolution was acceptable to the Treasure Pavilion.

From the start of negotiations, they had been completely led by the nose by Su Yang—and had no choice but to accept it.

"Alright, the matter of Liao Yuankai is settled… now let's discuss the real business."

Su Yang suddenly sat upright, his gaze burning as he fixed the three from the Treasure Pavilion, his intense killing intent barely concealed.

He stared them into unease.

The three from the Treasure Pavilion couldn't fathom what "real business" meant!

Wasn't the real business the outcome of the negotiation?

They came to see Su Yang solely for Liao Yuankai!

In any case, the three of them were completely baffled!

Su Yang slammed his hand down on the table!

A loud "Bang!"

Xi Yao nearly jumped out of her seat.

Before the two King-level Beast Tamer of Zhenbao Pavilion could react, Su Yang growled low: "Then, I'd like to ask you—does Zhenbao Pavilion intend to kill me?"

Su Yang's rude act of slapping the table had already angered the two King-level Beast Tamers of Zhenbao Pavilion.

But after hearing Su Yang's words, their anger vanished—they were utterly stunned!

Xi Yao's mind was equally blank.

They wanted Su Yang's life?

How could that be?

They had no such plan at all!

Fan Lao reacted fastest—he hurriedly said: "Lord Su of Sucheng, could there be some misunderstanding?"
