Chapter 1110 - 1106: Negotiation
What’s wrong with Feifei?
Why is she being so good to Qin Hao?
The Commander is no fool; on the contrary, he is very shrewd and could immediately tell that Hu Fei must have some leverage held by Qin Hao.
Even after thinking for a while, the Commander couldn’t understand the reason; the two are entirely unrelated, so how could this happen?
"Cough, cough." Qin Hao’s dry cough brought the Commander back to reality.
He then realized that, from the moment he walked in, Qin Hao had completely taken the lead.
It seems this negotiation is very unfavorable to myself.
"Your speed is less than satisfactory to me." After some thought, the Commander decided to seize the upper hand in momentum first and chose to question.
Qin Hao smiled broadly, his teeth sparkling: "If this task could be done easily, you wouldn’t have needed to call me. It’s normal for things to be a bit slow, isn’t it?"
The Commander wanted to speak, but Qin Hao interrupted: "Furthermore, the seven major families aren’t pushovers. The fact that I could accomplish this is already good enough. Even if it’s slow, Commander, you wouldn’t mind, right? Isn’t that so, Little Hu Fei?"
His last sentence frightened Hu Fei into nodding quickly: "That’s right, Mr. Qin, what you said makes sense!"
The Commander’s brow furrowed tightly.
In this negotiation, he was completely at a disadvantage; this feeling was rather unpleasant.
Moreover, Hu Fei’s behavior was too abnormal.
She showed no sign of her usual arrogance.
The Commander wanted to get angry but thought it over and decided it was better to obtain the token first.
He said coldly, "I don’t think there’s any need for unnecessary talk."
"No, no, no." Qin Hao urgently interrupted: "Commander thinks it’s unnecessary, but I don’t see it that way."
"What do you want?" the Commander’s voice grew even colder.
Qin Hao rested his leg on the table with utmost ease.
The Commander showed deep displeasure at the corners of his eyes, but ultimately, he held back.
With his status, there was no need to argue with a civilian.
He could deal with him after acquiring the token.
With such thoughts, the Commander heard Qin Hao say, "The matter about Celestial Dragon Island, you shouldn’t have kept it from me."
His voice held reproach, displeasing the Commander: "That is unnecessary for you to know; you just need to get the Celestial Dragon Order."
Qin Hao seemed not to hear, continuing on his own: "Had you told me that there’s such an Immortal Pill on Celestial Dragon Island, you wouldn’t have needed to urge me; I would have completed the task immediately. After all, that thing is also very important to me."
"Immortal Pill?"
The Commander smirked: "That item’s real name is Broken Mirror Pill, and it doesn’t guarantee 100% breakthrough; don’t be fooled by hearsay stories."
"But even so, the chance is high, isn’t it?" Qin Hao showed a melancholy look: "You know, at my level, making any progress in realm is difficult. If there’s an elixir that would let me break through, I’d do whatever it takes to obtain it."
The Commander did not speak; although he thought Qin Hao was chasing impossible dreams, he chose to remain silent.
"Oh, it’s such a miraculous elixir, who left it behind, anyway?" Qin Hao muttered in confusion.
The Commander said coldly, "Immortal Race, you probably haven’t heard of them."
Of course Qin Hao knew about the Immortal Race. In fact, his mentor was a descendant of them.
Analyzing it carefully, indeed, that Celestial Dragon Order is infinitely mysterious, possessing limitless fortune that ordinary people cannot handle.
Only the Immortal Race, with their wondrous techniques, could create such grand works.
Seeing Qin Hao fall silent, the Commander shifted the topic: "If this operation succeeds, I promise to give you a Broken Mirror Pill."
"Oh." Qin Hao nodded indifferently: "So, when can Celestial Dragon Island be opened?"
"Once all tokens are collected, only on the fifteenth of each month." The Commander was frugal with words, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
It was clear he had invested significant effort to enter Celestial Dragon Island.
"Oh. Then when the fifteenth arrives, will there still be tasks for me?"
Qin Hao asked playfully.
The Commander squinted his eyes: "Do you wish to enter the island? It’s filled with dangers; with slight carelessness, you could be obliterated."
"Obliterated sounds quite thrilling, doesn’t it? I must give it a try." Qin Hao smiled brightly.
In the Commander’s eyes, that smile became a provoking expression.
He certainly wouldn’t be provoked, only nodding: "Of course, if you’re willing, we welcome you."
At this, he paused: "So, the Celestial Dragon Order..."
Qin Hao interrupted by waving his hand: "Before handing over the token, I need to receive my task reward."
Upon hearing "task reward," Hu Fei’s body shuddered, her face turning pale.
The Commander couldn’t help but exclaim: "Hu Fei, what’s going on with you?"
Hu Fei was startled, shaking her head with a pallid face: "Nothing..."
She glanced at Qin Hao, seeing him smiling playfully, his expression seeming to say: "The task reward is you..."
At that moment, Hu Fei felt aggrieved to the point of wanting to die.
She wanted to rush into the Commander’s embrace and lament, but she couldn’t.
Because if he knew she had been taken advantage of, he’d surely be furious.
Moreover, before getting off the car, Qin Hao had forced her to swallow a Poison Pill.
It was precisely because of the Poison Pill and the previous grievances in the car that she became so compliant.
"Hu Fei!" The Commander angrily slammed the table.
The less Hu Fei spoke, the angrier he became.
Hu Fei felt there was so much she wanted to say.
As her lips began to move, Qin Hao’s dry cough resounded softly,
Buzz!
Immediately, her scalp tingled, recalling her painful experience in the carriage.
Impossible!
If revealed, he might truly kill me with poison!
Helpless, Hu Fei cried bitterly inside, outwardly forced to feign calmness: "Commander... I’m sorry, but maybe I should go first..."
"Get out!"
The Commander’s anger was intense; with any other subordinate, severe punishment would have been meted out long ago.
However, he couldn’t bring himself to do it with Hu Fei.
After all, she was his lover and beloved disciple.
Hu Fei left, feeling defeated and sorrowful.
As she closed the door, Qin Hao grinned: "Commander doesn’t know how to cherish beauty."
The Commander almost spat out blood in rage.
After having Feifei arrange chairs and give massages, you tell me I don’t cherish beauty?
"Alright, what are your conditions exactly?"
With Hu Fei gone, the Commander was in a terrible mood, compelled to ask.
Qin Hao tapped his fingers on the table, smiling: "It’s simple, just sign a document agreeing to mobilize some forces to protect my friends."
"Those friends?" The Commander squinted as he repeated.
Qin Hao laughed: "You know, I don’t have many friends in Beijing right now. Just those from the six major families and Fenglin Group. As long as you agree to use military power to protect them, I’ll give you the token immediately."
