There was no room for negotiation!
Xia Fei was startled and quickly asked, "A Gilded Greenface! Are you talking about the exotic beast Gilded Greenface, which is a combination of ice and fire?! "
The man wearing the golden necklace was clearly very wary of Xia Fei. He frowned and looked at Windchime, hoping to hear her opinion.
Windchime elegantly swept her long hair back with her right hand and nodded. "Pillar, this Xia Fei is a good friend of mine. I can vouch for him."
Pillar hurriedly nodded. "Big sis Windchime, since he's your friend, I'll tell this little brother the truth."
He turned to Xia Fei and said, "Lorenzo has a subordinate on this planet called Bai Hao. He's in charge of oppressing the poor like us and plundering Lorenzo's women and valuables. Recently, our informants received news that Bai Hao managed to find an exotic beast called the Gilded Greenface. It's said that this exotic beast has a very high level and is very valuable, so we're planning to snatch it before Bai Hao gives it to Lorenzo."
"I won't hide it from you. Although our group is called the Resistance Army, we're made up of peddlers and farmers, and we don't have any decent weapons. We have no chance of winning against Lorenzo's mercenaries, so we plan to trade this exotic beast for some guns and ammunition to arm ourselves after we steal it.
"Our informant told us that Bai Hao is afraid of any undue delay and will deliver this precious exotic beast to his master tomorrow morning, so we need to act immediately."
Windchime nodded, indicating that Pillar was telling the truth.
Phantom could no longer remain calm after hearing this. He hurriedly said to Xia Fei, "This is an exotic beast, the Gilded Greenface! A high-level exotic beast second only to a Beast King! Furball is still too young and won't be able to use it for the time being. If you can get your hands on this Gilded Greenface and make it your exclusive exotic beast, it'll be very helpful to you! "
Xia Fei was very familiar with the Beast Spirit Codex, so he naturally knew just how terrifying an exotic beast like the Gilded Greenface was. If he could have such an exotic beast as a helper, he would be able to greatly increase his combat power.
Smiling, Xia Fei said to Windchime, "Big sis Windchime, how about we make a deal?"
Feng Ling smiled, "What deal?"
Xia Fei said, "Don't you need weapons and ammunition? I just happened to bring a batch with me, and they're on my warship. I also have some food and medicine. If you're willing, I can use these things to trade for that Gilded Greenface."
When the men behind him heard that there were weapons and supplies, they all stood up.
"Are you serious!?"
"Of course."
"Big Sis Fengling, we don't have much use for an exotic beast. Why don't we exchange it with this little brother?"
"That's right, big sis Windchime. The Death Trio Star Region is at war right now, and it's hard to buy high-quality weapons and equipment even with money. If what Brother Xia said is true, he'll be doing us a huge favor!"
"I think so too. We don't even have a suitable weapon right now. We can't possibly fight that old fox Lorenzo with a club and a hammer, right?"
Everyone discussed among themselves. The equipment of this guerrilla force made up of poor people was truly shabby. The moment they heard that Xia Fei had weapons and supplies, they were all tempted.
Windchime was overjoyed. She asked Xia Fei, "Where's your warship?"
Xia Fei tapped a few times on the microcomputer and activated the Impaler's autopilot. "It's not far. It'll only take a few minutes."
…
"It's all here. Fifty F9 automatic cluster laser rifles, ten gamma ray pistols, two boxes of light wave grenades, four hundred in total, ten boxes of rifle ammunition, two boxes of pistol ammunition, two hundred boxes of beef, chicken, and canned fruits, three tons of compressed flour, salt, coffee, cooking oil, vegetable extracts, and medicine. Do you think these things are enough to trade for a Gilded Greenface?" Xia Fei led the group into the Impaler's storage warehouse and pointed at the neatly stacked supplies.
He had originally planned to give these things to Windchime. He did not want to mistreat Uncle Porter's confidante. Now that he was able to obtain a precious Gilded Greenface, he had made a small profit. It must be known that a Gilded Greenface could be exchanged for far more items on the Alliance's black market than these.
"It's enough! Of course it's enough! My heavens! A brand new automatic rifle! You can't buy something like this in the Black Abyss Star Region even if you have the money! " The outspoken bearded man took out an automatic rifle from a box and tightly hugged it to his chest as if he had seen a treasure.
These rebels lived in the barren Death Trio Star Region, so they had never seen such top-class supplies in the Alliance. They were all dazzled by the sight, almost drooling. As for Xia Fei's awe-inspiring heavy-assault cruiser, it was even more of a feast for their eyes.
Windchime glanced at Pillar, who was very calm. He quietly said to Windchime, "The equipment and supplies are pretty good, but we have more than five hundred people. We're still lacking in weapons."
Xia Fei's hearing was sharp, so he naturally heard every word. He inwardly felt rather angry at this scoundrel called Pillar. If not for Windchime's sake, Xia Fei would have just barged into that Bai Hao's house and snatched the exotic beast. There was no need for him to be so long-winded.
Smiling, Xia Fei said, "Sis Windchime, in three days, I'll deliver five hundred F9 automatic rifles, fifty boxes of ammunition, and triple the other supplies!"
Pillar was stunned, and he asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?!"
"Yes." Xia Fei stared at Windchime. "But I have a condition."
"What condition?" Windchime was still basking in the joy of receiving so many supplies, so she had no idea that Xia Fei's words had a deeper meaning.
"You have to come back to the Alliance with me," Xia Fei said word by word, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
"What did you say?!" Windchime's eyes widened, a hint of anger in them as she demanded.
Xia Fei displayed his unyielding side, not giving Windchime any chance to resist.
"One Gilded Greenface isn't worth that many supplies. Sis Windchime, you should know very well that I always have a price for everything I do. If you want it, fine, but you have to come with me! Otherwise, this deal will be nullified, and all of you will have to rely on your machetes to resist that warlord Lorenzo. "
The crafty Pillar could not help but feel somewhat anxious, pleading, "Everything can be discussed. Sis Windchime is our spiritual leader. What will we do if she leaves?"
Xia Fei waved his hand and firmly said, "Sorry, but there's no room for discussion!"
Windchime felt as if she had been struck by lightning when she heard this, her entire body swaying a few times. She knew very well why Xia Fei would do such a thing. It was all out of good intentions, but she was unable to accept the methods that Xia Fei used. He had actually used her as a bargaining chip.
"Kid! Aren't you afraid that we five hundred brothers will join forces to keep you here?! "a tanned, brawny man threatened Xia Fei. When the others heard this, they began to approach.
Xia Fei glared at this group of people and coldly said, "You can try. I was just worried that I couldn't find an excuse to kill all of you. In any case, Miss Windchime has to come with me, whether you want to or not! It's not up to you! "
"Kid, aren't you being a little too arrogant? Do you think you can deal with all five hundred of us by yourself? "
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Xia Fei, just what is your relationship with Sis Windchime?"
"What's with all the nonsense? Brothers, let's attack together!"
The crowd was getting restless. Xia Fei stood proudly with his arms crossed, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd. Honestly speaking, Xia Fei really had no interest in this motley crew.
"All of you, shut up!" Windchime could no longer hold it in and angrily roared.
"Stop arguing! I … I'll go with him … "Windchime bit her lip and said, her face extremely pale.
…
After one last glance at her comrades and this familiar land, Windchime silently boarded the Impaler with Xia Fei.
"Will the equipment you promised them arrive?"
"Don't worry. It will."
At the dining table, Xia Fei poured Windchime a cup of coffee, but Windchime only stared blankly at the sea of stars outside the porthole, not saying a word.
Sighing, Xia Fei said, "You're Uncle Porter's friend, which means you're also my friend. I can't just watch you throw your life away. You should also know that with just these few people and guns, fighting against a warlord with deep roots in Black Abyss is a hopeless war.
"Originally, I didn't plan on forcing you, thinking that if you weren't willing to go with me to the Alliance, I'd leave you some supplies, enough for you to live a carefree life in Black Abyss, and it'd be a way to account to Uncle Porter, but since I know about this so-called resistance army, I can't just sit back and do nothing.
"Even if I have to tie you up, I'll tie you up and bring you back. It doesn't matter even if you hate me for the rest of your life. In any case, you can't die! Things are that simple to me. I don't care what you think, just like how you don't care what Uncle Porter thinks. "
Windchime was startled and said in a barely audible voice, "Actually, it's not like what you think … Porter, he …"
Xia Fei nonchalantly shrugged and unyieldingly said, "Save those words for Uncle Porter. Since we've already made a contract, I hope that you'll abide by it."
Windchime silently nodded. Xia Fei brought Windchime to an empty bedroom. "I'm going to get my Gilded Greenface now. Wait for me here."
With that, Xia Fei locked the door from the inside, appearing very merciless.
Phantom pursed his lips. "Aren't you being a little too rude to Windchime? You usually say that you'll respect the decisions of others, so why aren't you respecting Windchime today? "
"Things can't be generalized. Windchime's acting like an idiot, so I can't just let her do as she pleases, can I? What can those stragglers and stragglers possibly resist? "
"Uncle Porter is my friend and one of my people. If his girlfriend wants to throw her life away, what else can I do other than forcefully bring her back? War isn't something women should be concerned with. In any case, I've already decided that Windchime must be brought back. " Xia Fei said firmly, his attitude unyielding. From his point of view, there was no room for discussion.
The Impaler took off, taking advantage of the darkness to land in a secluded valley. The sandstorm outside was strong, so there was no need to worry about being discovered in such an uninhabited area.
He donned the Bloodthirsty Ice God combat suit, Celestial Moon on his right, the Lifeseeker Bone on his left, the savage saber Bloodthirsty Screech in his spatial ring, and the ancient mystical armament Butterfly Serpent.
After dressing himself up, Xia Fei got off the warship and quickly vanished into the biting sandstorm.
