The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and sized up Madam Rain. His sharp gaze was like a snake, as though he wanted to swallow her.
Facing such a gaze, Madam Rain's expression became even colder. She tightened her windbreaker and sat behind the bar. She poured herself a glass of wine and drank by herself.
"Gong Lie, don't you know whether this batch of sea beast captives is worth it or not?"
"This involves the legacy left behind by Cromwell. That is something we must obtain."
"Humph … your Gong Family likes to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Searching for the legacy left behind by Cromwell is your Gong Family's duty. But you want me to pay you! "
"When I find Cromwell's legacy, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between our ancestors and falling out with you if you dare to ask for it!"
…
Madam Rain drank a glass of wine. Her eyes flickered with a strong murderous intent as she spoke indifferently.
In an instant, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped. Frost even appeared on the surrounding walls, and a faintly discernible cold air swirled around.
The middle-aged man, Gong Lie's expression changed. His body trembled slightly, and the Heart Origin Protection Suit under his robe glowed faintly, revealing a blazing radiance.
The metal chair he was sitting on showed signs of softening, unable to withstand the high temperature.
In the room, two forces, cold and blazing, confronted each other. The strength displayed by these two people had reached the seventh realm and was unfathomable.
After a while, Madam Rain withdrew her power. She looked at Gong Lie with a mocking expression.
"As a descendant of the Gong Family, Gong Lie, you wear this ancient suit all day. Are you so afraid of being ambushed?"
"As the leader of the Black Net, it's no wonder that the Black Net's situation is deteriorating. Other than Gong Beilu, your Gong Family is really getting worse with each generation."
"As long as you don't anger me here, I won't do anything to you. After all, my ancestor and your Gong Family's ancestor, Gong Beilu, had a close relationship. If you came here this time to put pressure on me, then leave … "
Madam Rain poured another glass of wine and regained her usual charm. She shook the glass and said.
Gong Lie's expression was very ugly as he looked at this woman's beautiful face. He suddenly laughed, "Of course, I didn't come here to bully you. I have something important to discuss with you."
Saying so, he took out a semi-circular fragment and tossed it in his hand.
"This is … the other half of the key?! How could it be in your hands! "
When Lady Rain saw this semi-circular fragment, her expression changed. She raised her hand to snatch it, but Gong Lie had already put it away.
"Don't do anything. Even if you manage to snatch this half of the key, it's useless. The method to open that place is still with me … "Gong Lie grinned.
"Your … your Gong Clan …"
Staring at Gong Lie, Madam Rain's expression changed. After a while, she sneered, "Good! As expected of a descendant of the Gong Clan. I've underestimated you. You actually managed to get your hands on half a key. "
"You also said that I'm a descendant of the Gong Clan. I can always find some clues in the things left behind by my ancestors. With this half of the key and the method to open that place that our Gong Clan possesses, do you think I have the right to discuss terms with you? "
Gong Lie changed to another chair and sat down as he spoke with a smile.
Madam Rain was silent for a while and said, "The key to that place was originally held by my clan and the missing clan. Your Gong Clan possesses the method to open that place. Now that you have obtained half of the key, you naturally have the right to sit down and discuss terms. Tell me, what do you want? "
Gong Lie stretched out his finger and knocked on the table. Then, he said, "After opening that place, I want half of the things inside?"
"Half …"
Madam Rain's eyes widened slightly. Then, she laughed. Her delicate body trembled, and it was indescribably seductive. However, her gaze became colder and colder. "Gong Lie, the things inside originally belonged to my clan. You actually have the guts to ask for half?"
"Indeed, it belongs to your clan. Am I right?"
Gong Lie nodded in agreement, but he smiled disapprovingly. "However, if Cromwell did not find the method to open that place and create the key to open that place, wouldn't the things inside never see the light of day?"
"Without the energy crystals inside, how could your clan allow Yeya City to soar to the sky? And the revival of the Giant Steel Soldiers, even if that place belongs to your clan, what use is it if you can't open it? "
"Can a treasure that cannot be controlled in your hands be considered yours? If I do not provide half of the key, you will never be able to open that place in your entire life. How can you accomplish the goal of your clan? "
…
Listening to Gong Lie's words, Madam Rain only sneered. She had always known how thick-skinned this middle-aged man was.
After weighing the pros and cons, Madam Rain nodded. "I can give you half of the things inside. However, I will be the one to distribute them."
"Of course, of course …"
Gong Lie nodded repeatedly. He paused and said, "Apart from that, I have a small request …"
As he spoke, he sized up Madam Rain, and his eyes revealed a naked desire.
"Get lost!?" Madam Rain replied coldly.
"Why … Yu 'er, you have so many men outside. Why are you rejecting me? Am I that bad? "
Gong Lie said softly. His tone was very gentle, and he tried his best to display his masculine charm.
Madam Rain smiled. "Gong, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. Do you really think that I really don't know anything about what happened in the previous generation? Your Gong Family is really too confident in the secrecy of the Black Net organization. In fact, the degree of secrecy is simply a joke. "
"Now, before I change my mind, leave immediately. Otherwise, I might not be able to control my temper and ban your Gong Family from entering Yeya City forever. "
Hearing this, Gong Lie's face twitched. He chuckled and drank the wine in front of him in one gulp. Then, he stood up and turned to leave.
Madam Rain took a bottle of wine and drank it in one gulp. Then, she smashed the bottle into pieces.
"Phew …"
After exhaling, Madam Rain thought for a while and sent a message to a number.
…
On the other side.
The news of the battle at the White Sea Trench had spread like a hurricane throughout the Eastern Continent in an instant.
Then, in just a few hours, the Western Continent was also in an uproar. In this battle, the appearance of the White Sea King Warship and the Sky Fortress had caused the people of the Eastern and Western Continents to exclaim in unison. Was another all-out war going to break out?
It must be known that a strategic weapon like the White Sea King Warship had a huge impact on the people.
The Oceanic Beast army mobilizing such a terrifying military fortress made the people of the continent feel that this was a signal to start an all-out war.
However, although the people were shocked and panicked, they were not that pessimistic.
After all, for so many years, although the continent and the Oceanic Beast army had always been on the defensive, not many people felt that the continent's army would be much weaker than the Oceanic Beast army.
It had already been a thousand years since the last hundred-year war. The standard of the Eastern and Western Continents' armaments had reached an unprecedented level.
Compared to the hundred-year war, a four-star Heart Origin Equipment was a rarity in an ordinary army. Now, any army with sufficient strength could obtain a four-star Heart Origin Equipment.
Not to mention those two-piece and three-piece Heart Origin Equipment had become the standard equipment of some elite troops.
Many people even thought that they would have the advantage on land in the battle against the Oceanic Beast army. If not for the fact that the depths of the Five Seas were too dangerous, they would have been able to fight their way into the sea.
In addition, the Sky Fortress that had collided with the White Sea King Warship had caused those who did not know the truth to think that it was Foka Tower's secret weapon.
In fact, it was not just those who did not know the truth. Even those who knew the truth had contacted the Foka Tower officials to find out what was going on.
…
In fact, when the battle at the White Sea Trench started, the Foka Tower officials were on the verge of exploding.
After the battle ended, it became even more lively. Factions continuously sent people to the Foka Tower, and the bustling scene from not long ago was once again revealed.
In response to all the inquiries, Lieutenant General Feilong, who had participated in the battle, refused to see any guests. No one knew what he was doing in the military base in the suburbs.
This action caused many forces to speculate that the Sky Fortress was in the hands of the Foka Tower.
In an instant, the various forces' evaluation of the combat power of the Foka Tower's main army suddenly increased by several levels. Many forces even expressed their desire to increase their assistance to the Foka Tower's main army.
"These bastards. Usually, it's almost impossible to get anything from them. Now, they're all coming to us. I'm going to rip them off …"
Lieutenant General Feilong sat in his office, smoking a cigar. Looking at the snowflake-like list of supplies, he almost jumped up in laughter.
On the side, President White Bull of the North Chamber of Commerce shook his head repeatedly. Looking at the thick list of supplies, White Bull's eyes turned red. This was really a windfall from war!
Most importantly, in this battle, the headquarters' army did not suffer many losses. They just took a few detours and beat the drums on the battlefield, and they had already earned a lot.
"It's better to be in the army …" White Bull exclaimed.
"Why? If you have an idea, then let Harpoon join the army … "Lieutenant General Feilong looked at his good friend and suggested insincerely.
White Bull shivered and shook his head repeatedly. He only had this one son, and he was gradually gaining some prestige in the North Chamber of Commerce. How could he let him join the army?
"Hmph … Even if you let him join the army, I won't agree."
Lieutenant General Feilong snorted and took a deep puff of his cigar. He grinned. "I think this kid should follow that group of people. He has a better future."
"You mean …"
White Bull was stunned. A complicated expression appeared on his face, and he could not help but fall silent.
"Yes …"
Lieutenant General Philon sighed. He thought about the various disturbances that had happened in the Foka Tower during this period of time. If not for the involvement of Mr. Bone, that young mechanic, he might not have been able to live to see the sun the next day after the riot in the city that night, not to mention anything else.
"Under our protection, Harpoon's growth is limited. If he can get out of here, he might have a better future than us …"
Hearing Lieutenant General Feilong's words, White Bull nodded and mumbled, "It depends on that kid's wishes. Actually, if it were me, I really wanted to go out with Uncle Aidan. Unfortunately, I was rejected … "
Lieutenant General Feilong did not speak. He took a puff of his cigar. As the smoke lingered, he recalled the past.
This was the fate of life. Even now, he and his old friend stood in a rather high position in the Foka Tower. He could not help but think about his younger days. If he could leave with Old Aidan, would he have a completely different and exciting life?
Especially after experiencing these two disturbances, Lieutenant General Feilong felt that it might not be a bad choice to have a good opportunity to go out and take a look when he was young.
"I'll ask that kid when the time comes …"
…
At the same time.
At Hayashi River's residence, Little White Bull and Harpoon were sitting in the hall, assisting Mossy Bone and the others in sorting out the data.
Harpoon was quite familiar with this aspect. After all, he had stayed in the machinery warehouse for some time. He was familiar with this kind of thing, so he could do it easily.
The rest of his companions were also helping, inputting the analyzed data into the light screen and simulating it.
Beep, beep, beep …
Fei Yu was a little dazed as she looked at the constantly jumping data on the light screen.
She had originally planned to leave the next day after this incident. There were too many things that needed to be dealt with in the Great Star Ao Prefecture.
However, when she saw how fast Hayashi River's data analysis was, she decided to stay for another day.
In fact, this was not her wish. It was the strong request of her good friend, the woman in the white coat.
"Oh my god! Woman, you've only just reconnected after such an explosive incident. I was almost scared to death when I lost contact with you … "
The woman in the white coat muttered in the earpiece. She wanted to go to the Foka Tower and meet her beloved Mr. Chuan.
Ding!
A melodious electronic sound rang out. The data simulation results were out. Everyone in the hall perked up and looked at the light screen.
In the earpiece, the woman in the white coat also stopped and paid attention to the data simulation results. The collision between the Sky Fortress and the White Nightmare King Warship had become the hottest topic on the continent. She wanted to see the true power of the Sky Fortress.
Whoosh!
On the light screen, the simulation of the Sky Fortress appeared. Then, images of its parts appeared one by one, and the simulation data about this gigantic object was also displayed …
"Is this … a super Nine Star Battle Fortress?"
Looking at the simulation data on the light screen, everyone could not help but gasp. The results of this data analysis were truly frightening.
