Chapter 1619 - 1618: Negotiation
Seeing Smith’s expression, Ling Feng unexpectedly asked, "You look so happy, why? Does this have nothing to do with your military?"
"Yes!"
Smith smiled and quickly explained, "Here’s the situation, the higher-ups just investigated. That drone was contracted out by a private company, and the order to attack you was issued by someone else. It really has nothing to do with us!"
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless, looking at him and asked, "You mean, someone used your plane to launch missiles at me, so you have no responsibility at all?"
"Mr. Ling, what my superiors mean is that since you weren’t harmed and you also destroyed our multi-million-dollar plane, can we just let this go without probing further?" Smith asked.
Ling Feng: "..."
He thought to himself, this is outrageous, can they even say something like this with a straight face?
Knowing this wasn’t Smith’s plan, Ling Feng looked at him and asked, "Do you think this is appropriate?"
"Uh....."
Smith looked awkward, gave a bitter smile and said, "I shouldn’t be saying this, but indeed, handling it this way is a bit inappropriate!"
"Hmm, at least you have some sense!"
Ling Feng nodded, then said, "Alright, I won’t make it hard for you. Go in and tell your superiors that I don’t agree with handling it this way. Ask them if they would take responsibility if I had been blown to pieces?"
"Also, tell them not to think I’m easy to bully. If they don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I’ll make sure all of your nearby military bases disappear!"
Ling Feng said the last sentence full of anger, which caused Smith to shiver from fear of his aura!
Without daring to say more, Smith quickly turned around and went inside the tent.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes, looked at Li Fei’er and Sato Saori with speechless resignation: "I’m really speechless, what are they thinking?"
"Maybe they think you don’t dare to cross them?"
Li Fei’er said, then asked, "Uncle, you haven’t asked what those people are doing here yet!"
"Hmm, unfortunately, I don’t speak English, so we’ll have to wait and ask Smith later!" Ling Feng said.
At this moment Sato Saori smirked, "You can’t but I can, leave it to me!"
She turned around, looked around, noticed a man dressed somewhat neatly in the distant crowd, and beckoned him over.
The man shivered, clearly reluctant to come over, but after thinking it over, he cautiously walked over.
Once nearby, Sato Saori asked in English, "Can you answer some questions?"
"Yes, yes!" The man hurriedly said.
"Good!"
Sato Saori smiled and continued, "Tell me, what are the Americans doing here with you?"
"This..."
The man hesitated for a moment, clearly scared to speak up.
Sato Saori narrowed her eyes, "To be honest, we can wipe out everyone in this camp in less than a minute. This is your chance to save yourself, understand?"
"Understood, understood!"
The man shivered again and quickly said, "We’re here to find something!"
"Continue!" Sato Saori said coldly.
"I don’t know exactly what it is, everyone’s following that Aflek guy, he’s the leader!" The man hurriedly said.
"Oh, is that so?"
Sato Saori understood, nodded and said, "Then go, tell everyone there not to think about escaping, if anyone does, they’ll be killed one by one!"
"Okay, okay, I understand!"
The man turned and left, returning to his group.
Upon hearing Sato Saori’s words, everyone looked at each other in dismay, their faces turning bitter!
At that moment, Sato Saori had already informed Ling Feng of what she had learned, then continued, "Since Smith is busy communicating with his superiors, I’ll go have a talk with Aflek!"
"Fine, but don’t get cocky. That guy is someone the American military holds in high regard, he might have some tricks!" Ling Feng nodded and said.
"I know!"
Sato Saori replied and stepped into the tent.
Less than a minute passed before sounds of a fight erupted from inside the tent!
Obviously, Aflek was unwilling to reveal secrets and started fighting with Sato Saori!
Ling Feng and Li Fei’er didn’t move because they felt Sato Saori could handle it on her own.
Indeed, the sounds of fighting lasted only half a minute before the tent fell silent.
After a while, Sato Saori walked out proudly.
Ling Feng swept the tent with his Divine Sense, seeing the chaotic state inside, Aflek lying on the ground, his face covered in blood!
Ling Feng frowned, quickly asked, "You didn’t kill him, did you?"
"Of course not!"
Sato Saori chuckled, "I just broke his nose, that’s all!"
Ling Feng was speechless, then asked, "So, did you get the information you wanted?"
"Yes!"
Sato Saori nodded and continued, "They are looking for something called the Miracle Stone here, which reportedly can control those underground creatures!"
"Oh!"
Ling Feng became instantly intrigued!
He quickly asked, "So they haven’t found it yet, right? Did Aflek tell you what the stone looks like or where it is?"
"It’s nearby, they’ve found a tunnel leading underground. These people here are workers on break, the others are still digging to clear the blocked passageway!" Sato Saori said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Very good!"
"Uncle, are you planning to take it from them?" Li Fei’er asked.
"Yes, but I won’t need to do it myself, someone will help me!"
Ling Feng chuckled and immediately summoned Tian Lian!
After explaining the situation, Tian Lian nodded, "Don’t worry, Master, leave it to me!"
In a flash, she disappeared from sight.
The spectators were all wide-eyed!
A person appeared out of nowhere and vanished instantly; what was happening?
They didn’t know that by now, Tian Lian had reached the tunnel entrance and had sent Little Hei inside.
Smith emerged from the tent in a hurry and said to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, I’ve communicated with the superiors, but the results aren’t great."
"Don’t beat around the bush, just say how you plan to handle this!" Ling Feng said calmly.
Smith nodded and continued, "The superiors acknowledge that the military did have some oversight, so they’re willing to offer Mr. Ling some compensation and let you know who used the drone to attack you!"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, "Just that?"
