But …
A strange feeling rose in everyone's heart as they looked at the young man standing on the deck.
He was just a young man and a Purple Moon Warrior-to-be.
Why did it feel like he was everyone's leader, the backbone of the group?
Was it because he was Tang Feng's son?
However, it did not matter what the feeling was anymore.
When Tang Ling uttered the word 'but', everyone held their breaths because they knew the main event was about to begin. He was going to talk about the conditions to get the resources.
"But I'm the one who found the fish and I'm also the one who captured them. I don't care if I can protect the resources or not, but from a certain aspect, the fish are mine, am I right? "Tang Ling enunciated each and every word clearly.
His words might be a little arrogant, but it was the truth.
"I'm willing to share, but I've worked hard and paid a price for it. So, I won't give it away for free.
"But the conditions aren't that difficult. First, I'm willing to share the fish with anyone who can promise to be the overseer of the Stardust Council.
Second, I'm willing to share the fish with anyone who can promise to keep me safe on the sea. "
Tang Ling did not beat around the bush and finally stated his conditions in a single breath.
After that, he sat down on the deck again. There was no need for him to say anything else. There were many smart ones among the crowd, so they would make their own judgments.
As expected, people were eager for resources. Not everyone in this world was afraid of the so-called powerful factions, such as Orsa.
Right after Tang Ling sat down, the big boss who had been waiting patiently for a long time spoke in a hurry, "What are you waiting for?
"Tang Ling, I have to admit that you're a magical kid. It's hard for a person like me, who has been drifting on the sea for a long time, not to know you. " Maybe out of admiration for Tang Ling, the temperamental and unpredictable Orsa took the initiative to greet Tang Ling and compliment him.
Tang Ling sized up Orsa curiously. He was not that knowledgeable, so he did not know who the big boss with the big belly was. Although he could feel the powerful aura from the big boss, he should be a powerhouse.
However, out of politeness, Tang Ling smiled and boldly cupped his fists at Orsa in the Eastern way. He said, "I'm just a lucky nobody."
"In this world, there is no such thing as true luck." Orsa shook his head and said, "But I don't want to discuss this with you now."
"I'm a very busy person. I want a Sunlight Netherworld Fish. Of course, I don't mind getting more. It's just that I've thought about it carefully, and I can't do the second thing, which is to ensure your safety, because I have an important voyage coming up … I'll be leaving this sea area soon. "
"So, I want to know the first condition. What does it mean to be the overseer of the Stardust Council? What kind of supervision law was this? I have to do something to get more Sunlight Nether Fishes. "
This was an interesting question, but from a certain point of view, it also represented Orsa's sincerity.
He did not plan to brush off the deal with Tang Ling, which was why he asked the question.
Tang Ling had thought about the question a long time ago. He looked at Orsa and said, "My dear uncle, please don't be in such a hurry. In order to ensure that everyone's deal goes smoothly, I've decided to do something first."
"Uncle?" Orsa was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. This kid was a little wild and lawless, but it reminded Orsa of himself when he was younger. Of course, it did not matter if he had to wait.
"Are there any of the Tiger Sharks here?" Tang Ling asked Orsa to wait for a while before he looked at the densely packed ships and asked.
As a matter of fact, it was common knowledge that the Tiger Sharks were here. Even a superpower like the Tiger Sharks could not avoid their desire for the Sunlight Nether Fishes.
As expected, after Tang Ling called out, two people came out from the densely packed ships. They seemed to be high-rank Purple Moon Warriors as they could walk and float on the sea.
"You're looking for the Tiger Sharks?" Both of them used masks and mantles to cover their real faces. Judging from their voices, they seemed to have been specially processed as the people who joined the Tiger Sharks would not expose their identities easily.
Their real identities might be the most wanted criminals in the world or the core members of some powerful faction.
Tang Ling had a good impression of the Tiger Sharks. After all, in order to control the Blood Scissors Brothers, he had pretended to be one of them.
"Yes, I'd like to make a contract here. In order to ensure that the contract goes well, I'd like to invite the Tiger Sharks to be the guarantor.
Of course, it's to show my sincerity. I'll give you a Sunlight Nether Fish as long as the Tiger Sharks are willing to be the guarantor. "
Inviting the Tiger Sharks to be the guarantor? Offering a Sunlight Nether Fish?
Many people at the scene were somehow impressed by Tang Ling. He really dared to raise conditions! The Tiger Sharks were a unique and mysterious faction with a huge influence on the sea. Would they agree to Tang Ling's terms just because of a Sunlight Nether Fish?
As a matter of fact, there were a lot of people at the scene. If everyone joined in, the contract would be very secure.
However, if the Tiger Sharks were to be the guarantor, it would be even better.
The Tiger Sharks had a powerful intelligence network and they would keep their word. If they really became the guarantor, those who did not follow the terms of the contract would have to be careful of the Tiger Sharks unless they never set foot in the sea again.
However, never set foot in the sea again? That was impossible! One thing worth noting was that the resources in the sea were much more abundant than on land. Once one's cultivation reached a certain level, it was impossible to avoid going out to sea.
However, the Tiger Sharks were a faction that did not participate in any conflicts, so could they really agree to the terms?
The two representatives of the Tiger Sharks went silent. It seemed like Tang Ling's terms did not move them.
However, out of their desire for the Sunlight Nether Fish, one of the Tiger Sharks said, "If we don't use the Tiger Sharks' name as guarantors and only agree to one of the two terms, will we be qualified to get the resources?"
It was a form of rejection. It seemed like the Tiger Sharks did not want to get involved in this mess in the name of a faction.
After Tang Ling heard the answer, he was not disappointed. Instead, he replied, "Anyone who agrees to my terms can get the resources."
After that, Tang Ling tilted his head and looked at the Tiger Sharks. "Are you guys really not going to reconsider?"
As he spoke, the others noticed that Tang Ling did not look disappointed at all. Instead, he looked confident. Where did his confidence come from? Was he so sure that the Tiger Sharks would agree to his terms?
On the other hand, after the two Tiger Sharks got the answer, they nodded at each other and went back to the ships without saying anything else.
Tang Ling did not ask them to stay either. He looked at their backs and curled his lips into a strange smile.
"Hmm." Aurora Borealis, who had been observing everything, grunted softly as if he had understood something.
The little girl, Ai Mi, who was standing beside him, wanted to ask something, but the twist happened.
The two Tiger Sharks stopped abruptly. They were obviously stunned for a moment before they turned around and walked back to Tang Ling.
It was a subtle movement, but it sent out countless guesses. Could there be some kind of connection between Tang Ling and the Tiger Sharks?
However, no matter how miraculous Tang Ling was, he was just a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior. He was not a rising star yet, so what did he have?
Did the Dragon Army make a move? Did they finally decide to support Tang Ling? If that was the case, Tang Ling's current position would undergo a drastic change.
One thing worth noting was that even though the Dragon Army had fallen apart, the resources left behind by the Dragon Army, including the elite fighters, were not to be underestimated.
The subtle movement from the Tiger Sharks triggered a lot of thoughts in the minds of the crowd.
What shocked everyone even more was the words that the Tiger Shark people said.
"Two Sunlight Hades Fish and all the contracts signed here will be guaranteed by the Tiger Sharks as guarantors. It's not in the name of a single Tiger Shark but the entire organization. "
What?! Most of the people at the scene were stunned.
Two Sunlight Netherworld Fishes were indeed very tempting, but what were they to the entire Tigershark faction?
They would actually drag the entire Tiger Sharks into this mess just for two Sunlight Hades Fish. It was not just a simple matter. From a certain perspective, the guarantor was also one of the executors.
In other words, if anyone broke the contract, the Tiger Sharks would have to follow the contract and pay the price.
Among the people present, even the most inconspicuous youths had the support of a powerful force behind them.
The Tiger Sharks were really …
Questions swirled in the crowd's heart, but neither Tang Ling nor the Tiger Sharks could give them an answer.
It was then that Tang Ling said cleanly, "Fine. Two Sunlight Hades Fish it is. I'll agree to it."
The Tiger Sharks were even more straightforward. "Tell us your condition. We, the Tiger Sharks, will record it down right away. "
Right after the Tiger Sharks' words subsided, a single combat ship drove out.
A tigershark with the strength of a Rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior opened the protective barrier and sat beside the single combat ship. He had prepared a piece of sharkskin parchment and a special pen.
It did not require any special preparation. The Tiger Sharks were men of their word, so they valued contracts. Many of them carried sharkskin parchment and a special pen that could be used to write on it.
It was also a symbol of the Tiger Sharks.
"The contract isn't complicated. Those who want to be the overseer of the Stardust Council only need to do this. You'll get a Sunlight Hades Fish if you can do this.
"If the Stardust Council doesn't fulfill its promise, kill two Rank 5 and above Purple Moon Warriors.
"Of course, those who think they can kill four will only get two Sunlight Hades Fish.
"As for the time limit, it's not that strict. If you can complete it within three years, you'll fulfill the contract. "
Tang Ling announced the first condition loudly.
"How ruthless."
"This Tang Ling kid has played the Stardust Council to death this time."
"I'm curious. What did Tang Ling do? What's the secret on that ship? Why is the Stardust Council willing to be led by the nose? "
As expected, when Tang Ling stated the conditions of being the overseer, the crowd exploded.
Was Tang Ling the second person to step on the Stardust Council in public? Who was the first? The answer was obvious. It was Tang Ling's father, Tang Feng.
What a strange inheritance … Some people could not help but want to laugh.
Of course, as a member of the Stardust Council, Eagle Eye's expression turned extremely sour. As a matter of fact, even he could imagine the consequences of starting a war, let alone the revered members of the Stardust Council.
However, since the Stardust Council dared to agree to it, it meant that they were prepared to bear all the consequences and had no intention of breaking the contract.
Tang Ling must have known that the Stardust Council would not break their promise.
Just the fact that he did not play the second part of the recording was enough to force the Stardust Council to fulfill their promise.
But why did he still do it?
Eagle Eye sucked in a breath of cold air. Perhaps only the smartest people could understand the deeper meaning behind this!
The kid knew that he and the Stardust Council would not rest until one of them was dead, so he was trying his best to create more enemies for the council.
Just like now, the person who agreed to be the supervisor, even if he didn't do anything in the end? He would also become an invisible enemy of the Stardust Council.
They would think that they had formed a grudge with the Stardust Council, and even if the Stardust Council said that they would let it go, they would not believe it.
It might sound ridiculous, but it was actually cruel. It was human nature.
For example, if a person became a traitor to the emperor, even if the emperor forgave him, he could only betray the emperor for the rest of his life because the traitor would have a guilty conscience. He would not believe that he was completely forgiven and would be trusted again.
Was Tang Ling really just a young boy? How could this monster scheme and play with people's hearts at such a young age?
Eagle Eye lived up to his reputation as a brainless eagle. He clearly saw through Tang Ling's deepest scheme.
As a matter of fact, not only the first condition, but the second condition was also creating enemies for the Stardust Council.
After all, everyone knew that the Stardust Council and Tang Ling were sworn enemies, so protecting Tang Ling would make him an enemy.
Eagle Eye might look gloomy, but deep in his heart, he admired Tang Ling.
If Tang Long … No, Tang Long was too straightforward. He was elegant and perfect, but he was not as cunning as Tang Ling.
Eagle Eye labeled Tang Ling as cunning, but even if Tang Ling knew about it, he would not think that it was a derogatory term. Shouldn't he be cunning to his enemies?
Eagle Eye did not say a word despite the heated discussions and even the mockery towards the Stardust Council. As a matter of fact, there was no need for him to say anything anymore.
The general trend had been set!
As long as the first one wanted the resources, there would be others who were jealous of it. Once the number of people increased, everyone would follow suit.
Plus, with the involvement of the tiger sharks, it was equivalent to adding an extra layer of insurance to the general trend.
Tang Ling had played this game to the limit. He could not stop it and was powerless to do so.
With that in mind, Eagle Eye sighed and spoke into the communication device that was still on, "My lord, our losses this time are not just the result of the war with the Poseidon family.
I, Eagle Eye, have done a terrible job. I'm willing to accept my punishment.
"No, this isn't something you can stop. After you return, report to Distant Voyage Hall. " It was then that the voice of the man came through the communication device. It was Tang Long's godfather.
"W-What?" Eagle Eye's gaze was filled with disbelief. Not only was he not punished, but he was also allowed to report to Distant Voyage Hall?!
One thing worth noting was that only those who went deep into the Stardust Council would know that the Stardust Council was only the tip of the iceberg.
Compared to the so-called Floating Ice Black Market, the Stardust Council was the true, gigantic piece of floating ice.
Even a high-rank Purple Moon Warrior like Eagle Eye could not get close to the true core of the Stardust Council.
Even a high-rank Purple Moon Warrior like Eagle Eye could not get close to the true core of the Stardust Council.
How could Eagle Eye not be shocked by the good news that fell from the sky?! After calming down, Eagle Eye could not help but ask, "My lord, why? Eagle Eye is a sinner. How could he … "
"Tang Ling is Tang Feng's son after all." On the other end of the communication device, the lord seemed to sigh, and then said leisurely, "This situation, because of the countless threads, was already in place before you arrived. Even I can't break the situation!"
Since you can see through the deeper level of this game, it means that you have greater potential. I'm talking about wisdom.
Go to the Distant Voyage Hall and make up for your mistakes. "
"Yes, yes!" Eagle Eye was so excited that his eyes turned red. Those who did not go deep into the Stardust Council would never know the true charm of the council and the charisma of the man.
"You don't have to talk to me anymore. The Poseidon family's attitude is very obvious. You'll understand it later. Cyril is quite a character after all. Hehehe … "The man chuckled and hung up the communication device.
While Eagle Eye was on the phone with the lord from the Stardust Council, Tang Ling announced his second condition.
It was the safety issue that he mentioned.
The second condition was slightly more complicated. All he had to do was promise to keep Tang Ling safe in the contract and support him in time if he was in danger.
If he really could not support him in time, he would have to lend Tang Ling a hand in his revenge.
If Tang Ling died, he would have to bear part of the responsibility of avenging him.
Of course, the resources were not equal.
For example, the Starlight Nether Fish and the Sunlight Nether Fish were not on the same level. Whatever resources one took, one had to bear the same responsibility. It was a very fair thing.
For example, those who only needed a single Starlight Nether Fish would not have to admit to killing anyone. Even if they had to declare their stand, all they had to do was provide some information.
It sounded very fair and decent.
However, Eagle Eye knew that Tang Ling did not leave any leeway. He had used the resources this time to isolate the Stardust Council to the extreme.
After all, no one would want a single Starlight Nether Fish! More importantly, those youths who were sailing on the sea, and the powers they represented!
Looking at Tang Ling who was still discussing the details with everyone on the deck, Eagle Eye showed an inexplicable cold smile.
Tang Ling might not know that the Stardust Council was not afraid of going to war with the world.
Was it good for the young man to show off his abilities? Maybe Tang Ling would be taught a lesson, a lesson that he would never forget!
