Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Five: Negotiation

  The person sent by the Sunflower City Leopard Army to see Li Xie was unexpectedly beyond the expectation of the city master's mansion, and it turned out to be Vice Commander Dis Panson of the 100,000-strong Leopard Army of Sunflower City!

  Moreover, he came alone, which was unexpected by Li Xie.

  Is this to show sincerity or does he think no one in Chrysanthemum City dares to move against him?

  Li Xie met him in the conference hall, Li Xie sat on the main seat in the hall, Jack Van Dyke and others sat under the hall, Dick Pearson stood in the middle of the hall.

  Li Xie did not allow him to sit down, he was unable to sit down. Of course, Li Xie was also thinking about whether or not to kill him, how could he let him sit down?

  Dees Panson met Li Xie, after a visit, he couldn't see anything in his eyes, with an expression of respect and a smile on his face, which was the usual demeanor when meeting the city master, but he couldn't guess what he was thinking at this time.

  Li Xie saw him like this and coldly laughed: "Now that you've seen me, are you very disappointed?"

  Di Sipan hastily cupped his hands: "The evil Duke can escape from the clutches of the wicked, I am delighted and haven't had time to be disappointed."

  "Don't pretend to be righteous, we know each other's intentions! Since you've seen me, get out of here! Clean your neck and wait for me!" Li Xie was too lazy to play tai chi with the Pan Sen family again. Now they not only wanted to put Li Xie to death but also took action. Li Xie was not the kind of person who would be bullied to death without understanding how to fight back, on the contrary, his revenge was not weak, and now he just wanted to tell the Pan Sen family his attitude.

  Dys Panson didn't get angry, but instead smiled and said: "In this world, there are no eternal friends or permanent enemies. However, friends will always benefit each other, while enemies will only suffer mutual losses. In the end, it's all about profit, like gold coins. What do you think, Evil Duke?"

  Li Xie had long since stopped wanting to listen to Di S. Panson continue speaking, and was about to order someone to throw him out, but upon hearing the two words "gold coins", the corner of Li Xie's mouth on the right slowly curled upwards.

  According to Des Panson, Li Xie understood that the Panson family did not want to be enemies with him and wanted to turn hostility into friendship. Their intention was not to laugh together and forget past grievances, but rather they gave Li Xie benefits, allowing him to calm down and let things pass.

  There are indeed such cheap things in this world, benefits, as long as the benefits are sufficient, many things can be calmed down, even the hatred between the Panshan family and Li Xie.

  Of course, this ultimately depends on the person.

  Li Xie is not someone who can give up everything for money!

  However, Li Xie was a rather greedy person, and this greed was especially true for his enemies.

  "Haha, gold coins are a good thing, they can make many things, big things become small and small things disappear!" Li Xie smiled and said: "It's just that it depends on how many gold coins! I'm a person who likes gold coins, it's famous. Why don't you tell me, how many gold coins can turn an enemy into a friend?"

  "Five hundred million!" Dais Panson immediately responded: "In the face of five hundred million gold coins, shouldn't there be no grudge that can't be dissolved? What does Evil Duke think?"

  From Daisuke Panson's unhesitating answer, it seems he was well-prepared.

  That's a fact!

  Since the last ambush on Li Xie failed, and knowing that Chrysanthemum City had an additional ninth-level summoner, the Pan Sen family and Youxiang reassessed Li Xie.

  Li Xie's feud with them was first sparked by Larry Panson, and most recently the ambush. From start to finish, neither side suffered any major losses, and it is not irreconcilable.

  The Pansens have begun to realize that the evil Duke Li, who initially had no power and only a title, is no longer an easy target for them. Continuing to be enemies with him will become increasingly disadvantageous for the Pansens!

  Rather than both sides suffering losses and Mercedes VII profiting from their conflict, the Panson family would naturally be more willing to reconcile with Li Xie, especially given that Li Xie is notorious for loving wealth. This provides a feasible basis for reconciliation between them and Li Xie. Moreover, last time Larry Panson almost killed Li Xie but was bought off with gold coins, which sets a precedent that makes the Panson family optimistic about the prospect of reconciling with Li Xie.

  And five hundred million gold coins made Li Xie's mouth corners rise higher and higher!

  How deep is the hatred of the Panshan family towards Li Xie? After this ambush, the Panshan family's attitude towards Li Xie was as if they had committed murder.

  In law, the two are worlds apart in terms of punishment.

  But in Li Xie's eyes, attempted murder and murder are fundamentally no different! Having the heart to kill and the act of killing, regardless of the outcome, is already a mortal enemy!

  From Larry Penson, Li Xie had already recorded this hatred. Could it be resolved with gold coins? Last time, because of Li Xie's insufficient power and the fact that it was not a matter of life and death, Li Xie would temporarily tolerate it for the sake of gold coins. This ending allowed the Penson family to repeat their trick again, almost killing Li Xie in the process. Realizing they were on the wrong path, they tried to use money to calm things down again.

  Is there such a cheap thing? At least 500 million gold coins are far from enough.

  "One billion." Li Xie said calmly: "I think at least one billion."

  "Good!" said Dais Pansy with a laugh: "Does the Duke of Evil keep his word?"

  Li Ye sneered: "The God of the Earth is above! The feud between me and the Pan Sen family will be resolved with 10 billion gold coins today! All the grievances, let bygones be bygones! This oath, you can spread it far and wide!"

  "Refreshing!" Dais Panson burst out laughing: "The evil duke is such a refreshing person, it's truly fortunate for the Panson family to be able to get along with the evil duke! One billion gold coins will be presented soon. In future cooperation, the Panson family will prioritize the interests of the evil duke first, hoping our future cooperation will be pleasant!"

  "Alright!" Li Xie stood up: "Then I'll be waiting for your 1 billion gold coins. Let's talk about the rest when I see the gold coins. Come on, send them off!"

  The servant sent Di's Panson away, Li Xiamu saw him off in the distance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Ten billion gold coins! Hehe, making money isn't that hard after all! Haha......"

  "Sir!" Jack said with a stern face: "How can you, sir! A mere 1 billion gold coins, and the 1000 elite soldiers who died for nothing? Our Chrysanthemum City was besieged, and it's just going to be swept under the rug? Cano, Zean, and you, sir, almost lost your lives in the underworld, and now it's all forgiven?! Sir! You can use gold coins to calm things down today, but who will dare attack us tomorrow?! If we can't win a fight, we'll just use gold coins to settle it! Who will still be willing to risk their lives for you, sir?! It will be difficult for you to establish your authority again!"

  Li Xie couldn't help but laugh at Jack's excitement: "Calm down, take a look at Kano, Vandy, and those few."

  Jack glanced around at the faces of Kano Vandi and others, whose right corners of their mouths were slightly raised, revealing a sinister and evil smile, which was clearly a conspiracy!

  Xiao An tugged at Jack's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, Evil Brother doesn't believe in the Earth God, he believes in Master Meng."

  Jack was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood and everyone around him burst out laughing.

  The Panson family took the initiative to make peace, and Li Xie made a vow in the name of the Earth God, forgiving each other for past grievances. This matter quickly became a legend in the Doudou Dynasty, and the Panson family soon sent over 10 billion gold coins. Li Xie happily accepted the gold coins and promised to cooperate in the future. The matter was thus settled.

  The Pan family thought that with Li Xie's oath, and the fact that this matter had already spread, they really reconciled and no longer had any evil intentions towards Li Xie. Instead, they only thought about what cooperation could be done with the powerful and prosperous Evil Duke.

  But Li Xie, has the gold been collected? Is it really that easy to reconcile?

  As for using force against the Pan family in the future, and whether it would ruin his reputation, Li Xie didn't care at all!

  Master Sleep said: Public opinion is spread by people and also dominated by people. The winning side has the final say.

  Reputation is just a matter of a few words!

  The matter on the side of the Pan family is temporarily resolved, and Li Xie is still waiting for the resolution of the other side's affairs.

  Taebong Dynasty, Pyongyang Castle Governor's Mansion.

  Fan Di Xiel stood under the hall, and Jin Zhi sat on top of the hall.

  Jin Zhi held Li Xie's handwritten invitation letter, his forehead sweating profusely.

  This cold sweat is not for the threatening tone hidden beneath Li Xie's calm words in the invitation, but because he couldn't understand the content of this invitation at all.

  What's wrong with you? Who would take a wedding invitation and scribble all over it in black ink, treating it like a regular piece of paper?

  Of course, Jin Zhi knew that something was amiss! From the moment he found out Li Xie wasn't dead, he's been worried sick until today! What was bound to happen has finally happened!

  Jin Zhi looked at Van Dyke and said, "Does the Evil Lord have any words to convey through you?"

  "It's true that it's true, but standing is inconvenient and hard to say." Vandy Sell said with a rather arrogant tone, looking at the people sitting on both sides.

  "This remark naturally caused both sides to show a face full of anger, but Jin Zhi didn't mind: 'Guest, please take a seat.'"

  Vandy Sell sat down, smoothed his bangs, and smiled: "What we adults mean is to ask Lord Jin to visit our Chrysanthemum City as soon as possible, and instruct me to protect him all the way. In other words, I have to follow Lord Jin until he arrives at Chrysanthemum City. However, there's some urgent business at home that can't wait that long, so I think our adults won't mind if I just bring back Lord Jin's head."

  Wow!

  As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was outraged!

  The threat of eating fruit is an unparalleled threat!

  At this moment, curses and shouts of killing were incessant, but the thunder was loud and the raindrops were small. The crowd sat still, with no one daring to move!

  Vandy Selpe looked around the crowd with disdain, and as he entered, he had already carefully observed the powerful people around him. He had long determined that no one present, including Jin Zhi, could stop him, a tenth-level Sword Saint, from killing Jin Zhi and leaving unscathed.

  As for the subsequent trouble, Li Xie will take care of it.

  Fan Di Xier came as a messenger, but actually to show off his power. In the city lord's mansion, he bluntly said that he wanted to kill the city lord, yet no one dared to do anything to him.

  Jin Zhi's face was gloomy, he was angry but didn't dare to erupt!

  Perhaps Vandy Sael was just a threat and didn't dare to take action, but could Kim Ji-dare gamble? Dare he stake his own life on it?

  However, Jinzhi still had to consider another question: whether or not to go to Chrysanthemum City!

  Is it a dead end or is there another turning point?

  Won't go, will this person directly take action? Or is there another plan?

  Jin Zhi's face was cold and silent, he had his helplessness, and now, he still had to pay the price for his helplessness.

  It's just that what's meant to happen will happen, and Li Xie won't die without suspecting Jin Zhi. If Jin Zhi doesn't go to Chrysanthemum City, the consequences might not be too good.

  Maybe there's a turnaround!

  "Alright, I'll go to Chrysanthemum City with you! Let me prepare for a moment." Jin Zhi finally made up his mind and beckoned a servant over, saying in a low voice: "Go open the treasury!"
