"So, what exactly are you doing? You can't even settle such a small matter." In the guest room of the Main City of the Undead, Li Huailin reprimanded Lei Duo. Of course, he wanted Lei Duo to settle the problem of the Octopus people's transmission array. Yes, if they wanted to leave, they had to use the transmission array of the Octopus people. However, Lei Duo and the Octopus people had not been able to settle the matter even after talking for a long time.
At first, Li Huailin thought that Lei Duo was quite capable. However, it was possible that he was too calculative. Although the Octopus people's transmission array in the Main City of the Undead had just been destroyed by Li Huailin, Lei Duo should be able to settle it if he paid a small price. However, Lei Duo had been arguing with the Octopus people for a long time and had yet to resolve this matter. Lei Duo was probably unwilling to give up even if Lei Duo asked him to destroy it.
"Sir, they are really demanding an exorbitant price. A transmission array and a few workers want us to compensate them with 100,000 gold coins. Of course, we cannot accept this condition," Lei Duo said with a bitter expression. Lei Duo said with a bitter face. It was obvious that the other party could tell that Lei Duo was in a hurry, so he raised the price fearlessly. Of course, it was rather easy to tell. Usually, the Undead would delay for more than 10 days before coming to talk with them. However, the Undead had just started to pester them to talk about this matter. It was obvious that the Undead had something to ask of them. Of course, the Undead would take the opportunity to raise the price.
"It's only 100,000 gold coins. Can't you just give it to them?" Li Huailin could not help but say.
"Your Majesty, our annual tax revenue is only 4.8 million gold coins. Furthermore, we have recently sent troops to fight against the elves. Our military expenses are very tight. Now, 100,000 gold coins …"
"Damn, aren't you guys too poor?" Li Huailin placed his hand on his forehead. "The entire country can't even gather 100,000 gold coins. Why don't you go and die?"
"This …" Lei Duo really had many things to say to defend himself. However, after thinking for a long time, he gave up. Yes, when your leader scolded you, it was best not to keep arguing. Apart from increasing the time you were scolded, there would not be much effect. Lei Duo was the Emperor and did not like people above him. Thus, he casually said a few words. Very quickly, he understood this logic. It was better for him to shut up and admit his mistake.
"After all this nonsense, I still have to take action. Come, you're too much," Li Huailin could not help but say. Then, he waved at the Octopus people beside him.
Yes, a few Octopus people were standing opposite them. Lei Duo and Lei Duo was still talking. Then, Octopus people arrived. Lei Duo was. The Octopus people were also curious as to why someone had suddenly come in. They had thought that he was an advisor from the Undead Race, but they did not expect that the moment he came in, he would directly point out that their emperor would not do anything. It seemed like he had even told their emperor to die …
"Who is this guy?" This time, the person that the Octopus people had sent to negotiate was Tohaham, one of the chairmen of the Elder Council. Of course, they placed great importance on this matter. After all, so many staff members had died. After he arrived, he realized the problem that Li Huailin had mentioned. It was obvious that Li Huailin was anxious to use the transmission array. Of course, Tohaham would not be courteous with him and directly demanded an exorbitant price. Tohaham felt that he had gained the upper hand, so he was waiting for the other party to nod in agreement. He didn't expect that someone he didn't understand would appear at this time. Although he didn't hear their conversation clearly, he could tell from their expressions that this person was reprimanding Emperor Ledo. He didn't understand the political system of the Undead very well. Isn't the emperor the most powerful among the Undead?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he didn't expect that the person who had entered would suddenly call for him. Tohaham was confused. Was this person going to negotiate with him? Although he didn't know the other party's identity, Tohaham still stood up and said, "Sir, although I don't know who you are, our conditions will not change. Just like what we said before, the compensation will be at least 100,000 gold coins."
"Very good. You're very strong-willed." Li Huailin stood up and said, "This money should be compensated. However, this poor fellow can't even fork out 100,000 gold coins. It's useless no matter how you shout here."
"If he can't fork out the money, then our cooperation with the Undead …" Just as Tohaham was about to speak, Li Huailin waved at him.
"Come, come. Come over first," Li Huailin said again.
Tohaham was slightly puzzled. He had never seen someone negotiate like this. However, after thinking about it, he stood up and walked over. Wang Zhong couldn't possibly hit him.
"May I ask what the matter is, Your Excellency?" Tohaham asked as he walked up to Li Huailin. He didn't know who Li Huailin was, so he could only address him casually.
"Come, look at this." Li Huailin handed something over.
Tohaham took it almost subconsciously. At first, he thought that Wang Zhong was going to bribe him or something. So, he said, "Please don't do meaningless things, Your Excellency. This time, I …"
"You don't know what this thing is?" Li Huailin pointed to the thing in Tohaham's hand and said, "I'll give you three seconds to think about what it is. If you can't answer it, I'll send you to heaven."
"Huh?" Tohaham was stunned. What's wrong with this guy? Why is he not playing by the rules at all? However, he really didn't look at the thing in his hand carefully. When he glanced at it and saw a flash of light, he thought it was some kind of gemstone or something like a bribe. However, after hearing Wang Zhong's words, Tohaham took a closer look at it. It would have been fine if he didn't look at it, but when he took a closer look, his face turned pale.
"Your … Your Majesty …" Tohaham directly knelt before Li Huailin. Yes, what Li Huailin handed over was his own badge, which was the one that he asked Geert to make. It was the Continental Alliance badge with the word "awesome" written on it. His was, of course, a unique badge that represented his identity as the continent's emperor. It was also the kind that was embedded with gemstones. When Tohaham saw what it was, he was so scared that he couldn't speak properly. He originally wanted to call Wang Zhong "Your Excellency," but he forced himself to change it to "Your Majesty."
"Do you recognize it?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes," Tohaham said quickly. Although he had never seen the real thing, he had seen pictures of it. Of course, he also knew that only Li Huailin had this thing. It was obvious that the man in front of him was their boss, Li Huailin. No wonder even the emperor dared not talk back after being scolded by him. There was indeed nothing wrong with him.
"It's good that you recognize it. I was worried that you wouldn't recognize it. If that's the case, I'll really have to send you to see Marx," Li Huailin said.
Tohaham didn't dare ask who Marx was. After all, he knew that Marx was a dead man.
"By the way, I accidentally blew up the teleportation portal. Do you have any objections?" Li Huailin asked again.
"No objections, Your Majesty. Those people deserve to die. I've been wanting to deal with them for a long time. I didn't expect to trouble Your Majesty. This is my negligence." Tohaham's reaction was relatively quick. Although he had no idea how the staff had offended Li Huailin, he immediately went along with Li Huailin's wishes.
"I already said that I accidentally blew it up. What does it have to do with them?" Li Huailin said. "Anyway, the emperor of Ledo will take the blame for me. You can just ask him for compensation. Young man, you're quite good at bargaining. This is for you. In the future, you can attend any negotiations with the Octopus people. "
As Li Huailin spoke, he handed over another badge. Of course, it wasn't the badge that Li Huailin had. Instead, it was the other badges that Geert had given him. According to Geert, Li Huailin would be given one to whoever made a contribution. Li Huailin didn't know how awesome these badges were, so he just gave them whatever he wanted.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tohaham immediately took the badges from Li Huailin's hands and quickly thanked him … Although he thanked Li Huailin, he still felt uncomfortable. He didn't know what was going on.
"Anyway, we have to use the teleportation portal immediately. Is there any problem?" Li Huailin asked.
"Of course, there's no problem, Your Majesty." Although he was a little unhappy, Tohaham certainly didn't dare to disobey Li Huailin. He immediately replied, "It's just that the teleportation portal here was completely destroyed. If we want to repair it, we need to wait for the materials to be delivered … I'll immediately inform them to repair it. It should be completed in one day."
"One day? That's still too long," Li Huailin said. "Are there any other teleportation portals that can be used?"
"Your Majesty, then we have to go to the main city of the Demons. The teleportation portal there is still usable," Tohaham immediately replied.
"Then … let's go to the main city of the Demons." Li Huailin thought for a while and said, "How about this? We'll go first. Ledo, you wait here for the teleportation portal to be repaired. You can come back after it's repaired."
Ledo was dumbfounded. What was going on? He had tried to negotiate for a long time, but the other party refused to budge at all. They were so arrogant, but when Li Huailin tried to negotiate, the other party immediately knelt down. The difference between them was too big. However, Ledo could roughly guess what was going on. He heard Tohaham address Li Huailin as Li Huailin. Could it be that Explorer Elavin and the others were now Li Huailin's subordinates? Li Huailin had even conquered this group of Octopus people. It was no wonder that he had ruled over three continents. It was obvious that the problem of transportation was not a problem for Li Huailin. If the other party wanted to attack, they could directly use the teleportation portal. It was obvious that Li Huailin's power was much stronger than he had imagined. Ledo heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like it was a wise choice to rely on Li Huailin.
"Ledo?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ledo quickly changed the way he addressed Wang Zhong and nodded.
