Wang Teng waited for three days before someone came to ransom Swett and the others.
They came with General Mokalén.
After Wang Teng heard the news, he received them in the reception hall of the Tiger Spirit Group.
The reception hall of the Tiger Spirit Group wasn't big, and it wasn't even luxurious. It was simple and suited the style of the military.
After everyone sat down, Wang Teng asked someone to pour water for the guests.
The person sent by the Third Prince this time was also a man who looked like he was in his late twenties. However, it wasn't difficult for the people present to see that his real age was far beyond his twenties.
However, for martial artists above the Planet-Grade, those under 100 years old were actually considered very young.
Some special races even had those under 500 years old or even 1,000 years old who were still in their infancy stage.
At this moment, the man looked at the water in the cup beside him and frowned imperceptibly. He didn't even move, and a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes.
No one had ever served him with an ordinary glass of water. As expected, this Wang Teng wasn't presentable.
"Sorry, I'm a little poor, so I don't have much to serve," Wang Teng said plainly.
"…" General Mokalén's mouth twitched.
He would believe it if someone else said it, but he didn't believe Wang Teng at all.
He knew that Wang Teng had taken out a bunch of master-grade and grandmaster-grade spirit food to share with his team members.
If that was considered poor, then wouldn't the others be beggars?
Paige, who was standing beside Wang Teng, was expressionless, but her heart was as calm as a dog.
This was all a basic operation.
It was fine as long as they got used to it.
"Captain Wang Teng, you don't have to be so polite," the man said.
"Colonel Wang Teng, let me introduce you. This is Lu Qing, Baron Lu, under the Third Prince," General Mokalén said.
"Colonel." Lu Qing was slightly taken aback and looked at Wang Teng. He still didn't know that Wang Teng had been promoted to colonel, so he was a little surprised.
"Baron!" Wang Teng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect the person in front of him to be a baron of the Empire like him.
"Captain Wang Teng is really young and promising. You've been promoted to colonel not long after entering the military," Lu Qing said with a glint in his eyes.
He already had some respect in his heart, but that was it. For people who stayed by the Third Prince's side all year round, they had seen many people in high positions and were already used to it.
"You're flattering me. It's all thanks to your generosity," Wang Teng chuckled and replied.
General Mokalén was speechless.
This guy was bluffing again. was bluffing again.
He already knew about what had happened a few days ago. This guy was so good at bullsh * tting that he had tricked all the generals into it.
However, no one thought that Wang Teng had gone too far. The one who had gone too far was the Third Prince's people. They actually came to the military to cause trouble. Wasn't this a slap in their faces?
And if they couldn't protect Wang Teng, wouldn't they lose even more face?
"Baron Lu, drink some water. Why aren't you drinking? Is it not to your taste?" Wang Teng said.
"…" Lu Qing.
Not to his taste?
What appetite could a glass of water have?
"You're welcome. I'm not thirsty," Lu Qing said.
"Baron Lu, are you looking down on me?" Wang Teng's face was cold as he said lightly, "I'm kind enough to entertain you. Are you not giving me face?"
Lu Qing's face stiffened as he looked coldly at Wang Teng.
No one dared to talk to him like this.
This Wang Teng really didn't know what was good for him.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense.
"Ahem." General Mokalén coughed and broke the silence.
"Commander Wang Teng, don't talk nonsense. I'm here on the orders of the Third Prince to bring Swett back." Lu Qing's eyes were cold as he said lightly.
"Baron Lu, if you don't give me face, how can I talk to you? Forgive me for not accompanying you." Wang Teng stood up and was about to leave.
Bastard!
Lu Qing's face darkened. He thought that Wang Teng wouldn't dare to pester him anymore after bringing up the Third Prince. He didn't expect him to leave without a word. He didn't play by the rules at all.
"Please wait!" Lu Qing hurriedly said. Otherwise, if he really let Wang Teng leave, it wouldn't be so easy to see him again. So he took a deep breath and said sullenly, "This water … I'll drink it!"
"That's right." Wang Teng turned his head and watched him drink. Then, a smile appeared on his face and he sat down again. "Okay, now we can talk about the ransom."
"I'm taking Swett away. If you have any conditions, feel free to state them." Lu Qing put down the cup and regained his composure. He said confidently.
"Originally, I didn't dare to detain the Third Prince's men," Wang Teng said.
"…" Lu Qing.
Bullsh * t!
You didn't dare to detain him? You even dared to threaten the Third Prince. What else do you not dare to do?
General Mokalén drank a mouthful of water and almost spat it out. Could this guy be any more shameless?
"But that Swett came to my Tiger Spirit Group and damaged my reputation. If I don't do anything, I'm afraid it will have a great impact on my Tiger Spirit Group's reputation. So, I really have no choice." Wang Teng ignored their expressions and said very innocently.
"…" Lu Qing said, "Captain Wang Teng, you can just state your conditions."
"Baron Lu, that's not right. You make it sound like I'm blackmailing," Wang Teng said unhappily.
You're f * cking blackmailing!
Lu Qing took a deep breath again and could only say, "Swett was in the wrong first. It can't be considered blackmailing."
"That's good. Baron Lu is indeed very righteous. The Third Prince must also be very righteous. You can understand my difficulties." Wang Teng said, "In that case, I won't make any excessive demands. You can just give me 300 to 500 billion."
"Pfft!" General Mokalén really spat out a mouthful of water this time.
This guy really dared to ask!
300 to 500 billion. What was the difference between this and blackmail?
Lu Qing's expression was ugly. He stared at Wang Teng and said, "Baron Wang Teng, this is a bit too much."
"No way. This price is already very fair. Didn't you see that the door of my Tiger Group was smashed when you came in? This is all Swett's fault. And my subordinates, hundreds of them were injured and are still recovering. As for the psychological damage, the loss of honor, the medical fees, the repair fees, and so on, I'm already giving face to the Third Prince by not asking for 300 to 500 billion. "Wang Teng said calmly.
"…" Paige finally couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
So Wang Teng asked them to tear down the door a few days ago because of this?
And those hundreds of injured people, weren't they injured during the battle at the 13th line of defense? When did it become Swett's fault?
Lu Qing's face darkened.
This Swett was really a piece of trash. He couldn't do anything right.
He was only asked to do a small thing, but he actually made things like this. He even fought in front of the Tiger Group. Wasn't this a slap to the military's face?
He was now in a passive position.
He really wanted to kill someone.
"You're asking for too much." Lu Qing's expression was ugly.
"Nonsense. I have evidence. If you don't believe me, I'll show you this list." Wang Teng took out a long list from nowhere and waved it in front of Lu Qing.
"Let me see." Lu Qing didn't believe it. He took it and looked at it. He felt terrible.
The compensation was listed clearly, but each of them was ridiculously expensive. This broken door was actually made of very precious metal and stone. It was almost as expensive as the door of the Imperial Palace.
Who would believe such a thing!
But he didn't have any evidence because the door had been torn down. He couldn't find the original material.
Wang Teng was sure that he couldn't do anything.
As for the compensation for mental damage and loss of honor, it was even more difficult to say. There was no conclusion.
Lu Qing couldn't say anything. He was so aggrieved that he almost vomited blood. He could only look at General Mokalén and say,
"General Mokalén, is this the style of the military?"
"Ahem, I think this has nothing to do with the style of the military. It's purely personal behavior." General Mokalén coughed dryly.
"…" Lu Qing.
F * * k, these were a bunch of hooligans.
"Baron Lu, what do you think? Why don't you let Swett stay with us for a while? We have good food and accommodation here. We won't treat him badly," Wang Teng said.
"… No need. I'll pay for it." Lu Qing gritted his teeth.
If he stayed for a while, the Third Prince would lose face.
People who didn't know better would think that they couldn't afford it.
"As expected of the Third Prince's men. You're really generous. I thank Your Highness on behalf of those injured soldiers." Wang Teng said with admiration and gratitude.
Lu Qing looked deeply at Wang Teng and didn't say anything else. He asked for Wang Teng's account number and transferred the money to him.
Three hundred billion Universe Credits!
He gave the lowest value.
Wang Teng didn't have any objections. This was already a lot. He couldn't really ask the other party to take five hundred billion.
Of course, this was a huge sum of money for an ordinary warrior. But for the Third Prince, it was just a drizzle.
Otherwise, Wang Teng wouldn't have asked for it.
"Bring Swett up." Wang Teng received the money and ordered with a smile.
After a while, Swett was brought up. The injuries on his face had mostly recovered, but Wang Teng was too ruthless. He still looked bruised and swollen. Lu Qing almost didn't recognize him.
"Big Brother Lu, are you here to save me? This Wang Teng bullied me too much. Big Brother Lu, you must avenge me." When Swett saw Lu Qing, it was as if he saw his savior. His eyes lit up and he suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Shut up, you disgraceful thing." Lu Qing shouted coldly.
Swett was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Qing to be so cold to him and even scold him. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Lu Qing's status was much higher than his. In front of Lu Qing, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Swett, you're free. You must be a good person when you get out. Don't come back," Wang Teng said.
Why did this sound weird?
"…" Swett stared at Wang Teng angrily.
"Commander Wang Teng, I'll remember this. His Royal Highness, the Third Prince, is of noble status. He won't be calculative with you, but I'll keep an eye on you. We'll have plenty of time in the future." Lu Qing's body exuded a faintly discernible dangerous aura as he locked onto Wang Teng.
After that, he left with Swett and the others without waiting for Wang Teng's reply.
