Chapter 452: Surface Negotiations, Real Threats!

Yin Yun, while fighting outside, assumed Su Yang would be behind them devising plans and removing obstacles.

But after waiting a full day, there was still no word.

At that moment she realized… Su Yang might have gotten into trouble.

According to his habit, he would never let himself or his partners fall into a passive position.

One can see that from the incident involving Jiang Hen.

He would rather drag his severely wounded body to the scene himself.

Even if he himself lacks combat ability, even if he is likely to die during the action.

To keep them safe, he would not hesitate to confront Luo San directly.

Just from that, one can tell he is a person of loyalty and righteousness.

At the same time, he dislikes being led by the nose, and even more dislikes situations that get out of his control.

Compared with Lin Yang, Yin Yun likewise does not want Su Yang to suffer any mishap.

This is a two‑in‑one Big Instance; after it ends, it will be settled directly.

They must preserve their First Place throne.

Likewise, after some interaction, her friendship with Su Yang has entered a new stage.

Although it cannot be called life‑and‑death together, it is nonetheless unbreakable.

Therefore, after Huang Hua used the Injection, Yin Yun had him perform a Deduction of Su Yang's current state and a solution.

After several minutes of extensive calculation, he learned that Su Yang's condition was not good.

It even involved a life‑threatening danger.

Thus Lin Yang immediately went to the Warlord Headquarters, seeking a way to break the deadlock.

After some negotiations, they successfully persuaded Weiwu Wang, lifting the Wanted status.

The disappearance of the Wanted status means the Betting Duel result is already decided.

"That guy said he's Second on the Leaderboard, he is… Xiao Wenxue?" Lin Yang asked.

Su Yang, having recovered a bit, nodded: "I almost fell for that guy's trick, but luckily you arrived in time."

"His Innate Talent is way too cheeky; the Betting Duel content is entirely set by him, and you can't act until a result appears," Lin Yang complained.

"This is the enhanced effect of the Innate Talent; under normal circumstances it would at most restrict regional movement," Su Yang said.

"Now we only have one Injection left," Huang Hua said gravely.

Su Yang, hearing that, felt a stir and asked: "What did you discuss with Weiwu Wang?"

Lin Yang and Huang Hua exchanged a glance; the former explained: "At first that guy was full of hostility toward us, and as soon as we entered, dozens of guns were pointed at us, almost scaring my Innate Talent out of me."

"Fortunately, while beside Weiwu Wang I saw a familiar face; guess what? That person said a sentence or two and got them to lower their weapons."

"Who?" Su Yang asked curiously.

Lin Yang gave an inscrutable smile, pausing between each word, and said: "Qian Shou Hall Hall Master — Zi Huai."

"Is that him?" Su Yang was startled.

"Didn't expect it, huh? I'm also surprised; I was wondering how someone from the Liuhe Association could be dealing with the Warlord's people."

"For what reason did they stay?"

"I'm not clear on that; the scene was tense then, and I didn't get a chance to ask. It seemed Zi Huai had taken on a role like a Military Advisor."

"And then?"

"Naturally, we catered to their preferences, offering a unifying method, letting the otherwise uninvolved Qinglong Gang get involved to deal with that group in Xicheng District," Lin Yang said.

Su Yang pondered for a moment, analyzing the situation on the field.

At present, Jinshan City is rather chaotic, with a strong trend of warlords carving up territories.

Having been enslaved by the Warlord for so long, they finally received news of He Zhenlong's death.

Moreover, with foreign enemies invading at the same time, this is an excellent opportunity for independence.

Including the Ronggui Group, many major forces are seeking to establish themselves as kings.

Whoever can seize Jinshan will become the New Era's ruler.

So they certainly cannot let Jinshan go; after all, the feud has already been set, an Immortal and relentless result.

Lin Yang's group offered a simple solution—Drive Tiger Swallow Wolf.

"We also provided a high‑efficiency mining method, and promised that once the Warlord settles in Jinshan, the Fusheng Business Association and Liuhe Association will provide technical support," Lin Yang said.

Su Yang looked at Yin Yun, nodded in understanding, "Did you show a move in front of Weiwu Wang?"

Yin Yun waved a big hand, and the car suddenly rose half a meter, then gently descended.

"I just played like that, and he agreed."

The extraordinary, transcendent ability is the best proof and confidence before Weiwu Wang.

Yin Yun explained with his Innate Talent that the Fusheng Business Association is not a soft, easily manipulated target.

At the same time, he warned Weiwu Wang that he could grasp his life at any moment.

The cooperation was indeed concluded, but in reality it was a threat.

Weiwu Wang did not understand the range of Yin Yun's Innate Talent release; in his mind he must have imagined the flying sword in novels that decapitates an enemy from a thousand li away.

Faced with the threat, he did not lose his head and order his subordinates to fire; after weighing pros and cons, he chose to agree.

Their common enemies are the Zhulin Gang, the Ronggui Group, and the Qinglong Gang.

A cooperation without conflicting interests is not hard to reach.

Thinking of that scene, Su Yang couldn't help but smile, "It seems the newly appointed Warlord Leader is not a great talent."

"That guy just took office, is very life‑cherishing, and his mind is full of building achievements, establishing prestige; surely some of his subordinates are dissatisfied," Lin Yang nodded slightly, continuing:

"If any team leader finds us to discuss cooperation and slaughters him, this throne that hasn't even warmed up yet will be handed over to someone else."

On the surface it is a negotiation, but in reality it is also a gamble.

If it weren't for Huang Hua's Deduction, they would never have taken such a risk.

Deduction is not all‑powerful; it merely searches among countless possibilities for the most reasonable path with the highest success rate.

The future changes in an instant, and the exact actions must still adapt on the fly.

Of course, the result is gratifying.

Su Yang gazed at the night sky, his eyes flashing as he said, "This player‑versus‑player contest has already begun; if the remaining three players learn that Xiao Wenxue is dead, they will certainly launch a Crazy counter‑attack."

"Indeed, we must guard against them; they still have three Injections," Huang Hua nodded slightly.

"No problem, I still have six Letters unpublished; the longer we drag out the time, the more advantageous it becomes for us," Su Yang's Mouth corner twitched slightly.

"What next?" Yin Yun asked.

"Has the matter of importing Machine been settled?" Su Yang looked toward Huang Hua.

"It's basically sorted; the other side is a smuggler from a small nation. I heard I'm in a hurry, so they quoted a higher price, and if they need to send an engineer, they'll add 10% on top of the base cost," Huang Hua said.

"What's the total?"

"One‑point‑two million."

"Petty cash, just give it to him," Su Yang waved his hand.

He had thought this thing would be astronomically expensive, but it turned out to be only a few million.

"I marked it as urgent; it should arrive within two days," Huang Hua said.

"Once the Machine arrives we can proceed with the main operation; conveniently, Jinshan appearing in Xicheng District will help divert attention, making covert development just right," Su Yang said.

He had already devised numerous countermeasures while planning; diverting attention, of course, is essential.

South City District was destroyed, and reconstruction has begun, but it will take a long time.

This is the perfect moment to covertly mine under the pretext of rebuilding the Six Harmonies Society's territory!
