Di Luolang's cell was way too small, not suitable for discussing business. Therefore, Ji Hao occupied Chi Zhan's office.
Special pipes brought hot water from the kitchen. Steam rose from the two bathrooms in Chi Zhan's office building, while a strange floral aroma spread out. That was the special aroma of top-grade bath balm.
A few beautiful dark-kind girls walked into the bathroom with scissors, scrapers, and all kinds of tools. Soon, slight hair-tearing noises came from the bathroom.
The chubby Hartment went to Liang Zhu City himself and spent a fortune in a surviving manor outside the city to buy over a hundred sets of luxurious clothes. Beautiful dark-kind maids, who were also dark-kind, sent these clothes into the bathroom.
Ji Hao busied himself for a whole hour. Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window in Chi Zhan's office, Ji Hao had already drunk three pots of tea. Finally, he saw Di Yantuo, Di Luolang and the other power elders of Di Family.
Leaving the narrow cell, Di Luolang and the other Yu Clan people took their first bath in a couple of months, cleaned their messy hair and beards, and put on the luxurious clothes that only belonged to Yu Clan nobles. Now, Di Luolang and the other Yu Clan people, who were dirty, haggard and looked like refugees, suddenly looked noble.
A group of felons, a group of prisoners on death row who were about to be executed soon, had actually taken a comfortable bath in the office of the Prison Warden. They had cleaned themselves up neatly and were even able to have a serious negotiation meeting with the visitors in the office of the Prison Warden!
Such a magical thing could only happen in Yu Clan people. In order to borrow Chi Zhan's office, Ji Hao paid nothing more than two extra Shouyang Mountain bronze ingots.
Di Luolang and the other power elders stood in a straight line in the room according to their positions and actual powers.
Di Yantuo, the acting leader of Di Family, carefully looked at Ji Hao from head to toe, then elegantly sat in front of Ji Hao. He naturally picked up a teacup, poured himself a cup of sweet tea, took a slight sip, then leisurely let out a breath and said, "Good tea, I didn't think that I could drink the top-grade Black Mountain Red Mist tea in Black Shark Castle Prison."
Ji Hao put down the teacup, grinned and said, "Corrupt people can always get good things that others can't."
While Di Yantuo was looking at Ji Hao from head to toe, Ji Hao was also looking at him carefully.
This was a typical Yu Clan noble. He was tall and slim, with a slim waist, but his shoulders were broad, around fifty percent wider than the shoulders of ordinary Yu Clan people. This naturally gave him an invisible sense of majesty that no one else had.
His long grayish-white hair was meticulously combed, and he had a three-inch beard on his chin that was also grayish-white in color. Every strand of his beard was as hard as steel needles, and he emanated a sense of firmness, perseverance, and unyielding determination.
That was a perfectly handsome, flawless face of a Yu Clan noble. What caught Ji Hao's attention was that pair of eyes, which were as cold and cold as granite, deeply sunken in his eye sockets. This meant that Di Yantuo had a strong heart, and wasn't an easy person to deal with.
However, his blood-red pupils were like two drops of molten lava, filled with an almost crazy flame. Ji Hao only needed to take a glance at him to know that his heart was filled with hatred towards some people and things.
Di Yantuo was calm and crazy, strong and powerful.
When the former leader of Di Family fell in an accident in Liang Zhu City, Di Yantuo was pushed to the position of acting leader by many family elders. Even though Di Yantuo couldn't save the Di Family from being thrown into Black Shark Castle Prison, this still proved Di Yantuo's influence in the family.
Di Yantuo wasn't an easy person to deal with, but he was forced by external conditions. Therefore, Ji Hao wasn't afraid that Di Yantuo wouldn't listen to him.
Narrowing his eyes, Ji Hao silently looked at Di Yantuo without saying a word.
On the wall, the long needle on the precise timing tool made by Xiu Clan master craftsmen had been ticking. Along with the ticking of the needle, the sunlight outside the window seemed to be bouncing.
Outside the small building, nearly a thousand heavily armored Jia Clan warriors had been walking around. On the fence wall of the prison, the number of guards was ten times more than usual. Faintly, heavy footsteps came from outside the fence wall. Warriors stationed in all four directions of the prison had been activated as well, in case Di Yantuo, Di Luolang and the other warriors escaped.
Visible ripples rolled in the air, and from time to time, tiny electric sparks would burst in the air.
All defensive divine towers in Black Shark Castle Prison had been fully activated. If Di Yantuo, Di Luolang and the other warriors dared to break out, they would most likely be burned into ashes by electric bolts, or chopped into meat paste.
Ji Hao remained silent, and neither did Di Yantuo. Both of them held their teacups, sipping the fragrant yet sickly sweet tea, one cup after another.
Yu Clan people loved to eat sweets, almost to a crazy degree.
The sickly sweet tea and the desserts on the table were all so sweet that they even tasted bitter. Ji Hao didn't like sweets, but in order to maintain the pressure on Di Yantuo, he had no choice but to stay calm and pour that terrifying tea cup after cup into his stomach.
Chi Zhan wasn't present, but every quarter of an hour, dark-kind girls would bring in a large pot of boiling hot tea.
A quarter of an hour, half an hour, three-quarters of an hour … two hours, four hours, six hours …
Ji Hao remained silent, and neither did Di Yantuo. Di Luolang and the other family elders had all narrowed their eyes and slightly lowered their heads, silently looking at their own toes.
Every single word said in here was related to the life and death of nearly a hundred thousand direct descendants of Di Family, and their future. Therefore, Di Yantuo and the other elders had to be extra cautious.
On the fence wall of the prison, Chi Zhan sat on the highest point of the watchtower, narrowing his eyes and looking at the small building that used to belong to him.
When the sky was filled with sparkling stars and the darkness shrouded the earth, Chi Zhan couldn't help but murmur, "Deliberately mystifying … The dagger is already on their necks. Does Di Family have a choice?"
Hartment stood behind Chi Zhan, sighed deeply and said, "No matter what, Di Family is one of the top three families in the Blood Moon. Even if they want to sell themselves, they have to do it for a good price!"
Chi Zhan rubbed his own chin and murmured, "Hmm, I'm afraid that there's more to this. This unknown Full Moon lord … "Clicking his tongue, Chi Zhan continued," Which Full Moon family has the audacity to protect the current Di Family? Even though Di Family is a fat piece of meat, aren't they afraid of choking to death? "
While fiddling with a Shouyang Mountain bronze block, Hartment chuckled and said, "Why should I care so much? Lord, as long as we can get some benefits, that's all. "
Chi Zhan chuckled while proudly stroking the heavy bronze block held in his arms.
In the small building, Di Yantuo finally started talking. A blood-red layer of light was released from his erect eye, covering the entire small building and preventing eavesdroppers from showing up. He looked at Ji Hao and asked in a flat tone, "What promise can you give us?"
Ji Hao looked at Di Yantuo, smiled slightly and said, "Things have already come to this. The only promise I can give you is that you can stay alive!"
