Chapter 1055: Chapter 921: Discussing the Matter

The change in the situation was indeed somewhat dramatic. Everyone originally wanted to take this opportunity to extort a hefty sum from the other party.

However, when it came to the enemies of Celestial Sound, the means of resolving the issue had to change.

The decision of the three Supremes was announced, and Xiang Xue, Fourth Master, and Xiao Qin all expressed their support.

Marriott is indeed a large group with substantial strength, having three Supremes among its shareholders alone.

Besides, there are two external Supremes, and among their partners, there are also Supremes—such as He Xu from Paradise.

But so what? In this team, almost everyone is fearless in every way.

Moreover, they knew that besides the three Supremes currently present, Granny Jia and another Supreme from their own team hadn’t returned yet.

Just in terms of the number of Supremes, they were not inferior to the other party, not to mention the quality was far superior.

After the group deliberated, they didn’t rush to act but waited for the other side to come to them.

—It’s not too late to act when negotiations fall through, as it also helps in taking the initiative.

When doing business on Paradise Star, it’s best to proceed in a justified manner, considering public opinion.

Qu Jianlei even thought that considering there is a guesthouse requiring protection, it’s not too late to act until Bentley returns.

The combat power of Old Ben combined with the Thunder Ram Horn can assassinate a Supreme in a sneak attack, providing an effective supplement to their current combat power.

What he feared most was if other variables emerged after the fight began, forcing the group to flee.

If by then Old Ben hadn’t returned, it would be hard to reconnect.

Celestial Sound also supported the leader’s decision—she had already been patient for several years, so waiting a little longer wasn’t an issue.

However, while they wanted to delay a bit, the other party wasn’t too cooperative.

The day after the return of the Paranoid, someone came to visit again.

This time, the two who came were an A-level Stone Attribute individual from last time and a Wood Attribute Supreme.

The Supreme was He Xu, and the Stone Attribute individual didn’t show much courtesy to Xiang Xue, indicating that the Supreme wanted to meet their ”big brother.”

Since it was decided to be ”justified and reasonable,” Xiang Xue didn’t say much and cooperatively led them into the backyard.

The Paranoid behaved very arrogantly, not even intending to stand up upon seeing the visitors.

He sat on the chair, leisurely drinking tea, lazily asking, ”What’s the matter?”

Seeing that the other party was too lazy to even raise an eyelid, He Xu was also quite displeased—what’s with the huge ego?

However, he knew the other party didn’t even respect Terry Supreme, and maybe even disciplined them a bit, so he didn’t dare casually act up.

Thus, he calmly stated, ”May I know your name?”

”To be my friend, you’re not qualified,” the Paranoid put down the teacup, glancing at He Xu indifferently, ”State your business!”

He Xu, even though he planned to discuss properly, got provoked by this, ”Your tone is quite grand, isn’t it?”

The Paranoid didn’t even lift his eyelid, ”If you’re not convinced, shall we sign a life-and-death pact and fight in space?”

He Xu was momentarily speechless; he had never encountered such a rash Supreme before.

In the Imperial society, life-and-death pacts indeed existed, but the review process was very stringent.

For ordinary people and low-tier Awakened ones to apply for a life-and-death pact, it was generally impossible to pass.

Especially for ordinary people, the Empire didn’t allow internal strife—during the era of interstellar great voyages, population was a highly valuable resource.

In a way, this also protected the rights of most ordinary people.

But when Awakened ones desire a life-and-death battle... there’s no way to stop it, as some grudges are truly irreconcilable.

When Awakened individuals get serious, massacring ordinary people in a fit of rage can easily get out of hand.

However, with C-level and B-level individuals... generally, A-level Awakened can suppress them, and dueling scenarios are rare.

But A-level individuals are hard to suppress, and most who sign life-and-death pacts are A-level.

As for Supremes... the Empire doesn’t favor duels either, as each Supreme is a valuable top-tier combat power.

The Empire is reluctant to kill a Supreme easily, so why would they hastily agree to Supreme dueling?

However, precisely because the status of Supremes is so high, it’s unrealistic for the Empire to prohibit dueling.

If two Supremes truly want to duel, it inevitably involves the bottom line of one or even both parties; how can it be stopped?

”Are you crazy!” He Xu retorted impolitely, given the other party’s remark, he didn’t hold back either.

Typically, this is also the most common reason for Supremes refusing a duel—I won’t indulge your madness.

Then he straightforwardly stated, ”I’m here to talk about compensation for the guesthouse.”

”You?” the Paranoid finally lifted his eyelid, scrutinizing the other, then asked, ”Are you able to make the decision?”

He Xu retorted sharply, ”If I can’t make the decision... then who can?”

Please, get it straight; I am a Supreme!

The Paranoid didn’t bother arguing with him, ”You should know the conditions, along with my travel expenses... thirty billion!”

”How much?” He Xu widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at the other, ”Are you crazy broke?”

The value of this piece of land, including appreciation, doesn’t even amount to more than a billion.

No matter how you calculate, including surface construction, renovation, and the related equipment and facilities, the total price will never exceed three hundred million.

Including mental loss, intangible assets, and Supreme’s travel fees, it definitely won’t exceed four hundred million.

In fact, if Marriott truly plans on acquiring this homestay, giving three hundred million would already be giving this Supreme a lot of face.

Now that Marriott has decided to abandon the acquisition, the other party dares to ask for three billion... Are they kidding?

Upon hearing this, Paranoid once again exudes a wild aura, which was quickly retracted.

He slightly squinted his eyes, ”Are you bold enough to say that again?”

This kind of aura... He Xu instantly understood why Terry left without a word.

Could this still be the aura of a Supreme? It’s probably only just above Supreme!

The most crucial point is, he also noticed that the other party didn’t show any attributes.

Absolutely can’t win! If a fight breaks out, they might not even be able to run!

Realizing this, He Xu decisively decided to concede.

He’s not someone who can face life and death directly, otherwise, he wouldn’t have avoided Celestial Sound’s request back then.

Although He Xu also cares about the Supreme’s dignity, at this moment, it’s definitely not a time to talk about dignity.

He spoke with a stiff face, ”Senior, please forgive me, I misspoke, but this number... is indeed too much.”

Earlier it was ”friend” and ”sir,” now it’s directly upgraded to ”senior.”

Paranoid tilted his chin, ”Too much? Then it’s four billion, I’m not negotiating with you, I’m informing you!”

Upon hearing this, He Xu’s mouth twitched. Wow, just one sentence and it’s increased by a billion?

He’s seen unreasonable people, but never seen someone this unreasonable!

However, he didn’t want to provoke the other any further, just sighed, ”Alright, senior, I will pass on your words...”

”Hmph,” Paranoid snorted lightly, ”I knew you can’t make the decision; you are stubborn, go!”

This is blatant contempt, but surprisingly, He Xu didn’t dare to say anything, but nodded respectfully in response.

”Senior, should I leave now?”

Paranoid went to pick up his teacup again, completely ignoring the statement, treating the two people in front as if they were invisible.

He Xu dared not complain, retreated from the backyard, then turned and quickly walked toward his car.

The Stone Attribute A-level heart was puzzled, but seeing his demeanor, didn’t dare to say much.

After the car left the homestay, he asked, ”Sir, that person... Really terrifying?”

He Xu looked at him strangely, ”Didn’t you feel his aura just now?”

”I felt it,” Stone Attribute nodded in bewilderment, hesitated then spoke again, ”But, I didn’t think it was very terrifying.”

”Damn...” He Xu cursed softly, his mouth twitched again but didn’t say anything further.

He’s already concluded that the Supreme on the other side probably targeted him, releasing the terrifying aura directionally.

Otherwise, the feeling that makes him so anxious doesn’t affect an A-level? That’s clearly abnormal!

To be able to release such a terrifying aura directionally... He Xu no longer dared to speculate the other’s strength.

No matter how it is, given the arrogance displayed by the other, doing this is probably not for show—there’s simply no need.

So there’s very likely another intention behind it.

He Xu was already a bit scared, he didn’t want to guess the other’s intent, nor did he want to express his observations.

If he ruins the other’s plan, the consequences... He truly can’t bear it.

Stone Attribute A-level waited for a long time without hearing more, couldn’t help but speak again, ”Was that aura... very profound?”

He Xu replied casually, ”You’re not a Supreme, can’t feel it so it’s not surprising, anyway, this person’s strength is very formidable.”

”I understand,” Stone Attribute nodded, just based on He Xu’s reaction, he could draw such a conclusion.

But is it really that terrifying? Probably not likely, the Marriott Group also has strong Supremes!

”Should I remind the group?”

”Better do so,” He Xu nodded absent-mindedly, Terry has announced his retreat, he also needs to make some response.

”Regarding this matter, I can’t help anymore, the other’s appetite is too big, I don’t want to invite trouble.”

His connection with Marriott isn’t deep, it’s because of Lord Kong Se’s affair that they drew a bit closer.

Over a year ago, Marriott wanted to develop in Paradise, although welcomed by the government, they couldn’t intervene in big projects.

After all, this is a relatively mature commercial planet, each industry’s territory is divided pretty evenly.

Yet, Marriott is used to eating meat in large bites, looking down on small projects, choosing carefully and finally setting their eyes on the Yunwu Mountain Tourism Area.

However, their initial communication with the government was not very successful.

The various owners of the tourism area aren’t very powerful, but they perfectly represent Paradise’s economic vitality, right?

Eventually, it was He Xu who came forward, coordinated a bit with the government, and promised many benefits.

Because he, this local Supreme, vouched, the government began cooperating with Marriott Group to acquire land.
