To be honest, Jiang Fei was taking a gamble by being so forceful with Bennette Straz. He was betting on the fact that the factions of the Unknowns were at odds with each other. Bennette Straz's faction was eager to cooperate with him.
Otherwise, if Bennette Straz dragged things out for a while, Bella's health would deteriorate. By then, not only would Bella's life be in danger, but Jiang Fei and everything he had would also be reduced to ashes.
After Jiang Fei hung up, he went to accompany Bella for a while. Only when the girl was completely asleep did he slowly leave Bella's room.
As the battle had only lasted for a short period of time, it was only noon. Just as Jiang Fei was thinking about his next move, Han Tianyu came looking for him.
"Brother Yu, what's the matter?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Yeah, the Martial Art Alliance has arranged a meeting with the military. However, they hope that you can attend," Han Tianyu said to Jiang Fei.
"Why do they want me to go?" Jiang Fei frowned. This was a matter between the military and the Martial Art Alliance. Why did he have to be a third wheel?
"They're just trying to save face," Han Tianyu said with a sigh.
In the end, the Martial Art Alliance could not resist the temptation of the military's compensation. However, they wanted to get the resources, but they did not want to be labeled as colluding with the government. Therefore, they came up with a solution.
Although they were talking to the military, the Martial Art Alliance was attending Jiang Fei's banquet in name. However, it just so happened that the military was also there.
"F * ck! How dare they try to keep their chastity up! "After listening to Han Tianyu's explanation, Jiang Fei did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Although these martial art sects did not say that they were about to run out of food, they were indeed not very well off. After all, the martial artists were used to being arrogant. They could not even bring themselves to cooperate with the government in exchange for resources. How could one expect them to obtain resources through other means?
They did not want to interact with ordinary people, and their pride as martial artists did not allow them to rob people. Based on the self-sufficiency of the major martial arts sects, once they encountered a blockade like the Androids, they would quickly run out of resources. Therefore, although the Martial Art Alliance was not in a dire situation, it was definitely not having a good time.
However, at this point, these arrogant martial artists still could not put down their pride and still wanted to maintain their so-called expert demeanor. This made Jiang Fei feel both angry and amused at the same time.
"Alright, since they insist on doing this, I'll pay for it." Jiang Fei shrugged. He did not put on airs as a martial artist, so he did not feel any burden bearing the 'crime' of colluding with the imperial court.
Moreover, Jiang Fei was willing to be the middleman because he wanted to earn a favor from the Martial Art Alliance. Now that Isabella was not in a good condition, Jiang Fei did not dare to place all his bets on Bennette Straz. If they did not bring the Core of Life within three days, Jiang Fei could only rely on the Martial Art Alliance to fight these Unknowns.
It was precisely because he was interested in the strength of the Martial Art Alliance that Jiang Fei had repeatedly shown kindness to the martial artists. After all, although the martial artists were extremely arrogant, their innate pride made it so that they would always repay the kindness they received and return the favor they owed.
"The time is tomorrow afternoon. The location is in the outskirts of the Imperial City." Han Tianyu told Jiang Fei all the relevant information about the gathering.
"Alright, I got it!" Jiang Fei nodded.
After sending off Han Tianyu, Jiang Fei did not think about anything else. He began to calm down and experience the wonderful feeling of leveling up today. He tried to grasp the clues and clues so that he would be able to level up in one go the next time.
Time passed very quickly in this state of meditation. At night, Jiang Fei did not even enter the game. He remained in this state of meditation until it was almost noon the next day when 0542 woke him up.
"Captain, it's almost time for the military and the Martial Art Alliance's gathering," 0542 reminded.
"Mmm! Got it. " Jiang Fei slowly opened his eyes. After this period of meditation, although his strength did not substantially improve, Jiang Fei had a clear goal for his future path and his own rules.
After washing up and spending some warm time with Isabella, Jiang Fei and Ariel set off for China.
As the location of the gathering was near the Imperial City, Ariel teleported Jiang Fei and Ariel not too far away from the location of the gathering.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Fei and Ariel arrived at the location of the gathering. It was a very exquisite manor. Although it was not very big, the environment was very quiet, which was very suitable for the gathering.
When Jiang Fei and Ariel entered the manor, the people from the military and the Martial Art Alliance had already arrived. Moreover, they seemed to be having a good conversation. After all, the military had something to ask of the Martial Art Alliance. Therefore, they deliberately catered to the martial artists and gave them face.
Since the martial artists wanted the military's supplies, and the military had given them enough face, they naturally couldn't say anything else. Moreover, the military had sent senior politicians, and each of them was a wily old fox. When they displayed their respective abilities, they quickly chatted intimately with the martial artists.
In the past, the martial artists did not interact with the people from the imperial court at all. Even if these politicians were very capable, they would not be able to meet them. Even if they did, they would not be able to use their abilities.
However, it was different this time. For the sake of resources, the martial artists had no choice but to converse with these politicians. As soon as they started talking, the politicians started talking. Although it was not to the extent of brainwashing the leaders of the Martial Art Alliance, it was enough to make them more flexible.
After Jiang Fei came in and greeted everyone, he realized that he was not needed at all. Bai Wanli, Ganyang Zhenren, and the other leaders of the Martial Art Alliance were having a good time talking to the military representatives. He could not even get a word in.
However, before Jiang Fei came, he understood that his attendance at the gathering was simply a pretense. The Martial Art Alliance only wanted Jiang Fei to come to save face.
However, Jiang Fei did not care about this. He did not need to do anything. As long as he could earn a favor from the Martial Art Alliance, he would be happy to do so.
However, when the negotiation involved substantive issues, the two sides disagreed!
The military spent so much effort mainly to establish a cooperation with the Martial Art Alliance. To put it bluntly, they were interested in the combat power of the Martial Art Alliance. However, what about the Martial Art Alliance? They even needed Jiang Fei to come out and act as a pretense to meet with the military. How was it possible for the Martial Art Alliance to cooperate with the military?
