Chapter 989:
“Hmph, the agreement never mentioned anything about jurisdiction!” Ye Chen sneered coldly, “What? Are you trying to take advantage of this situation? To interfere while the Church Court and we are at war? And then stir things up with us?”
“No, I wouldn’t dare!” The Prime Minister of Jia hastily shook his head and said, “Your Excellency Ye Chen, you’ve misunderstood. I just think there’s something fishy about this situation, so… Actually, my meaning is very simple, it’s not as complicated as you imagine!”
“Hmph, regardless, I’ve decided that no kind of agreement can be reached with you on this matter!” Ye Chen firmly rejected, then said, “The issue of jurisdiction can be discussed later, but definitely not today. I think Your Excellency the Prime Minister is surely aware of the war between us and the Church Court, right? Could it be…”
“No, Mr. Ye, please don’t overthink it!” The Prime Minister immediately shook his head and said, “I was just casually asking. Hehe, we’ll talk about the specific matters later, talk about it later!”
He didn’t dare say much more to Ye Chen, as Ye Chen was extremely angry at that moment. If provoked further, it might lead to resentment. The negotiation quickly reached an impasse; the Prime Minister dared not say more, while Ye Chen leisurely drank tea on the side. No one dared to reproach Ye Chen, as this was, after all, Ye Chen’s territory.
The Prime Minister of Jia also smiled calmly on the side, inwardly worried about the Church Court situation. What if the Church Court fails? Next time, Ye Chen wouldn’t easily fall for his tricks. And what if the assassination attempt by the Church Court succeeds? Given Ye Chen’s abilities, he’d surely know he’s in cahoots with the Church Court, and in that case, Ye Chen certainly wouldn’t easily forgive him.
Thinking about this, the fat man’s heart was a bit worried. Regardless of whether the Church Court succeeds or fails, the one who won’t benefit is himself, so the fat man was very worried. He stuttered, “Mr. Ye, how about this: regarding the jurisdiction over Sunset City, the Government of Canada and the Rothschild family could jointly form a patrol team? Form a member organization together. What do you think?!”
“No, absolutely not!” Ye Chen immediately shook his head, saying, “I think this idea is downright terrible!”
“Then what do you want?” The Prime Minister of Jia felt somewhat helpless; Ye Chen, this guy, was simply taking advantage, having been given a piece of land before, and now he wanted jurisdiction over the land and wouldn’t even allow the government to interfere. Unbeknownst to him, once the Government of Jia doesn’t interfere, Ye Chen would surely become independent.
“What can I do?” Ye Chen said with a cold smile, “Of course, I need to secure my rights. You are allied with the Church Court, so you absolutely cannot meddle in matters concerning Sunset City. Of course, if you want to take the land back now, that’s fine too. But, you’ll have to pay a hefty acquisition fee!”
“How much?!” The Prime Minister of Jia quickly asked.
“One trillion US dollars!” Ye Chen named his price on the spot. After all, the land was his, and if the Government of Jia wanted it back, it would have to accept his price. If the other party gave him a trillion, of course, he’d pack up and leave; if not, hehe… then they couldn’t expect to get the land back.
Poof…
The fellow had just taken a sip of water and immediately spat it out, almost spraying it all over Ye Chen. He looked at Ye Chen in shock, “No way… a trillion? That amount of money is enough to buy any medium-sized city in Canada. Ye Chen… don’t be too excessive!”
“How am I being excessive?” Ye Chen said with a cold smile, “This world operates on a willing buyer, willing seller basis. If you’re not willing, you can completely act like I never said it!”
“Hmph, since you’re not sincere about negotiating, then I’ll stop talking!” The man closed his eyes and began resting, which surprised Ye Chen greatly.
At this moment, a group of assassins had secretly infiltrated Sunset City, quietly entering through some broken walls and ruins. The patrolling guards around them had no idea about the entry of these dozen individuals. Once inside, they began to search for the whereabouts of Bragsky according to the geographical locations depicted on a map.
To complete this mission, they had meticulously planned and had already dispatched spies to infiltrate among them, who then drew a map and sent it into their hands.
This sneak attack was undoubtedly a crazy and risky raid. This group was made up of elite soldiers selected from the Church Court, all of whom had survived bloody battlefields and were robust soldiers. The reason why the Red Robed Sect Leader dared to send them out indicated he believed this group would definitely succeed.
“Boss, it seems like we’ve gone off the route!” a nearby soldier wearing black camouflage said, looking at the leader. The leader glanced back at him, frowning, “How did we go astray?”
“Look here, this is the route heading east. According to the path, we should see a statue of Buddha, but we haven’t seen anything!” The soldier in black hurriedly said, furrowing his brows, “Along the way, I’ve had a feeling we’ve walked into a trap set by the enemy!”
“A trap? That’s impossible, right?” The boss next to him was stunned, furrowing his brows, “Our operation is top secret, there’s no way anyone could know, so the chances of it being leaked are slim to none.”
“Alright!” The soldier nodded, and immediately, the group swiftly headed towards their designated target.
Just after this group left, several black-clad men appeared in the area. The leading man held a communication device and shouted into it, “Listen up, the other side is here, you all better get ready. Be prepared to execute the planned operation at any time!”
“Yes!” came a clear voice from the communication device.
Ye Chen had already seen through the Church Court’s plan. When the Prime Minister of Jia planned to visit Sunset City, Ye Chen already had an inkling of their intentions. However, initially, Ye Chen did not expect them to brazenly attack Sunset City. Later, through Feng Zhixiao’s scouts, they quickly uncovered the conspiracy, prompting Ye Chen to urgently devise a plan.
This plan was called the Dragon Subduing Plan. Even if the opponent was as strong as a dragon, they would be subdued before Sunset City.
At the negotiation table, both parties were still in a standoff, the scene silent. Ye Chen sat on the couch with his legs crossed, next to him was the silent, smoking Prime Minister of Jia. Feng Zhixiao stood straight nearby, and Ye Chen beckoned to him, asking, “How is the situation on that side?”
“Brother Chen, the plan is still in progress!” Feng Zhixiao muttered into Ye Chen’s ear.
“Mm!” Ye Chen nodded, “Inform me immediately if there is any news!”
“Yes!” Feng Zhixiao quickly nodded.
The Prime Minister of Canada curiously leaned in to listen, but unfortunately, he couldn’t catch even a little bit. His fat face with those round eyes spun around as if he wanted to ask Ye Chen for some news. Ultimately, he restrained his thoughts and suppressed the urge.
The silence didn’t last long when a series of crackling noises came from a corner of the inner city, startling the birds around to fly wildly. This made everyone in the conference hall perk up, each caring about the battlefield changes. On the Jia government’s side, this guy thought that the Church Court’s assassins had acted, so he immediately stood up.
“What happened outside?” The Prime Minister of Canada asked in astonishment.
“Hehe, you don’t need to worry about this!” Ye Chen said with a calm smile, “I received intelligence that someone was going to attack my Sunset City today, so I set up a few traps in my Sunset City waiting for them. I estimate that it’s the traps working!”
“Ah?!” The Prime Minister of Canada was immediately dumbfounded, his eyes widened as he watched the thick smoke rising outside, sweating profusely, and he quickly said, “Mr. Ye, I… I think I’d better leave first, a lot has happened here, you must be in a hurry to deal with it, so…”
“I say, Prime Minister, don’t rush to leave!” Ye Chen hurriedly said, “Since you’re here, why not come with me to have a look? See who exactly it is!”
“I… I think I’d rather not!” The Prime Minister was somewhat anxious. If the Church Court’s assassins were indeed captured by Ye Chen, the consequences might be severe, and he might become a hostage himself. So, the Prime Minister was a little scared, and he quickly said, “How about… maybe next time, I suddenly remembered I have some things to do!”
“That won’t do!” Ye Chen immediately shook his head, “See it through and then leave!”
“Since Ye Clan Leader requests so, I shall reluctantly comply!” The Prime Minister quickly wiped his sweat, sweating like rain, his eyes spinning in hopes of finding a way to escape.
“Zhixiao, what’s the situation outside?” Ye Chen turned to look at Feng Zhixiao.
“This…” Feng Zhixiao was stunned, hurriedly inquired, and soon, news came from the inner city that those assassins were all captured and tied up. Feng Zhixiao immediately informed Ye Chen of the situation. Ye Chen clapped his hands, laughed heartily, “Good, very good. Prime Minister, don’t mind coming with me for a look?”
“Yes, yes!” The Prime Minister quickly nodded.
Subsequently, the group grandly exited the conference room, heading from the direction of the Royal Palace towards the inner city. Within the inner city, after a tense and fierce battle, the smoke dissipated, all the thick smoke cleared. Those guys were all apprehended.
“Bastards, you despicable scoundrels, let us go!” The assassins who were caught in nets and rendered powerless by knockout smoke struggled madly in the nets. In front, the Chaikefu family’s guard team uniformly stood in the inner city, and Bragsky coldly watched these assassins. When Ye Chen informed him those guys were targeting him, Bragsky initially thought Ye Chen was trying to scare him, until now when he witnessed these vicious fellows firsthand did he realize it was real.
