"Bring him in!"
Su Chen showed no surprise whatsoever, as if it were all perfectly normal.
Soon, the static on the transport plane's main screen flickered a few times, and then a clear image appeared.
In the scene, Wu Jingyao is lying lazily on her side in a huge pool of blood.
Her alluring and seductive figure, partially obscured by the viscous blood, exuded a deadly allure.
She appeared to have just finished bathing, wearing only a thin, blood-red gauze dress.
Her long, black hair, flowing like a waterfall, was wet and cascading over her shoulders, adding to her eerie beauty.
"Giggle giggle..."
Upon seeing Su Chen on the screen, Wu Jingyao let out a series of silvery laughs.
"Advisor Su, we meet again."
Her voice was magnetic, as if it could penetrate directly into one's bones.
"I helped you get rid of that big problem with Xiao Fan. You should see my sincerity, right?"
She got straight to the point, immediately taking credit and attempting to gain the upper hand in the ensuing negotiations.
Su Chen looked at her alluring appearance, but inwardly he sneered.
solve?
You call that a solution?
He just went up and stabbed the victim twice, then grabbed the loot and ran away.
If I hadn't intervened secretly, it's uncertain who would have defeated whom today.
Of course, Su Chen wouldn't say these things aloud.
He simply nodded, his face expressionless, and said, "I see your sincerity. Tell me, what do you want?"
"It's very simple." Wu Jingyao extended a slender finger.
She lightly traced a line across her red lips, her eyes burning with desire.
"I want Donghai Province! Those three large survivor base cities along the coast will all be under my control, my territory!"
"Rest assured, as long as you agree to this condition, I, Wu Jingyao, will be the most loyal ally of the Dragon Kingdom!"
"I will help you guard the entire East China Sea defense line. Nothing that dares to crawl out of the sea will be allowed to set foot on the land of the Dragon Kingdom!"
She offered what she believed to be an irresistible price.
To use one's own strength to acquire a vast territory where one can be independent and autonomous.
To become a regional warlord!
However… Su Chen smiled after hearing her words.
"Can!"
His answer was so crisp and clear that it surprised Wu Jingyao.
She had prepared a whole bunch of bargaining arguments, but she didn't expect the other party to agree so easily.
Just as she was secretly pleased, Su Chen's next words were like a bucket of ice water poured over her head.
"However, these three cities are not your territory."
"It's the newly established 'East Sea Beast Cleanup Special Zone' of the Dragon Kingdom! And you will serve as the first commander-in-chief of this special zone."
"As for all the property output and revenue within the special zone, the Chinese government will take 70%, and you personally will take 30%."
"And as the war zone commander of the Dragon Kingdom, you need to submit a performance report to the capital command center every quarter."
Su Chen's voice was devoid of any emotion, as if he were reading out a pre-prepared appointment letter.
Wu Jingyao's smile froze completely.
Her beautiful, alluring eyes were filled with disbelief.
What does this mean?
This is hardly the practice of enfeoffing feudal lords.
This is clearly an attempt to be co-opted!
Moreover, she was made to tackle the toughest challenge—to confront the endless, ten times more terrifying sea monsters than land beasts!
Finally, the lion's share of the profits will have to be handed over to the state?
You work so hard, risking your life, only to get 30% in the end?
Do I have to act like a subordinate and report my work regularly?
"Su Chen! Are you kidding me?"
Wu Jingyao's voice instantly turned icy cold.
The blood in the pool began to churn violently!
She felt deeply humiliated!
Su Chen, however, seemed completely oblivious to her anger and slowly added a sentence.
"Of course, you can refuse."
"However... I think Xiao Fan, who just suffered a great loss, and Mu Tianze, who wants to pick a fight, would be very happy to know your new coordinates."
"Guess? If those two come knocking on your door, how long can you hold out with your strength?"
A blatant threat!
And it was a threat that was made without any attempt to conceal it!
Wu Jingyao's face instantly turned ashen!
She stared intently at the screen at the calm-looking young man, while she herself was trembling with anger!
She finally realized that she had fallen into their trap from the very beginning!
This man never intended to cooperate with her as an equal!
The other party is trying to force me onto their pirate ship in this way!
A long, long time passed.
The anger on Wu Jingyao's face suddenly disappeared.
Instead, a dazzling smile appeared, yet it was filled with a gritted-teeth expression.
"Advisor Su...you are truly the most adorable man I have ever met in my life."
"Okay! I promise you!"
She practically squeezed those words out between her teeth.
Circumstances dictate her choices; she had no other option.
"However, I have one small request."
She seemed unwilling to give up, wanting to try one last time: "I really like that Kunpeng fighter jet. Consider it a gift from you to me, okay?"
She resumed her coquettish tone, trying to use her beauty to win over Su Chen.
"No!"
Su Chen's answer was simple and blunt, shattering her last shred of hope.
"Get the plane to the capital intact within three days."
"By the way, come and receive your formal appointment."
Su Chen looked at her and gave an order that left no room for argument.
"And...participate in formulating the next phase of the comprehensive encirclement and suppression plan against Emperor Yan, Xiao Fan!"
Wu Jingyao was completely stunned.
Looking at the cold-eyed man on the screen, she felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.
This man is a monster!
He not only wanted to recruit him, but also forced him to become the vanguard in eliminating Xiao Fan!
This is forcing her to use herself to the extreme!
Taking a deep breath, Wu Jingyao stared intently at Su Chen, and finally said with a resentful sigh:
"Okay! Give me the coordinates!"
I'll go there tomorrow...
