Chapter 2583 White Tiger's Sincere First Elder (2)
"First elder of The White Tiger clan, give us 500000 top-grade crystals first. This is also the first condition we've agreed to. Otherwise, there's no need to talk." Xue ran raised her fluffy head and said arrogantly.
"Uh!" The White Tiger first elder became depressed again after hearing this. Then, he looked at uncle long, who was obviously in charge, and then glanced at Dongfang Yue, who was silently drinking tea from a teacup. He then turned his gaze back to Xue ran, and his depression seemed to have become more serious.
What the hell is this? Didn't they already start negotiating? Why did it suddenly cost 500000 top-grade crystals? They hadn't even started the negotiations, and they were already asking for so much money. When it came time to negotiate, wouldn't The White Tiger race be going all out?
To be honest, for a beast race with a deep foundation and a long history like The White Tiger race, 500000 top-grade crystals was really not a lot. However, it was definitely not a small amount either. Moreover, it wasn't like The White Tiger race couldn't afford it. However, 500000 top-grade crystals had already been taken away before the negotiations even started. Could the negotiations still continue?
The White Tiger first elder was very suspicious of this. However, uncle long didn't say a word, and Dongfang Yue was just drinking his tea as if this matter didn't concern him at all. With their attitudes, it was as if they had already silently agreed with Xue ran's words. What should he do?
Seeing that The White Tiger first elder did not give a response after a long time, Xue ran said with a look of sympathy,""It doesn't matter if you don't have 500000 top-grade crystals. You can also take items of equivalent value."
After saying this, Xue ran sighed deeply and thought, AI! The White Tiger race had actually fallen to such a state? He couldn't even take out five hundred thousand top-grade crystals!
In truth, the reason why she wanted to Rob The White Tiger race of 500000 top-grade crystals was to repay the debt that Leng ruoxue had helped her pay. Even though that little lass Leng ruoxue didn't ask it to pay, it wasn't a good habit to be in debt. It was afraid that this kind of thing would happen again. What if it got used to being in debt? And the bad habit of owing debts absolutely couldn't be allowed to develop! Therefore, since The White Tiger race had delivered themselves to his doorstep, he wanted to Rob them of a sum of money as well. Who asked him to feel that The White Tiger race was rich!
Not only was The White Tiger race rich, the four King divine beast races were like moving treasure troves for the beast race. They were all rich to the point of overflowing oil. Therefore, robbing the rich to help the poor was to Rob things like them.
The White Tiger great elder looked at Xue ran's increasingly sympathetic eyes, and the depression in his heart only increased. He took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. Then, he looked at uncle long with uncertainty and asked,"Is this the condition before the negotiation?"
In other words, he was saying,"uncle long, Dongfang Yue, do you also agree?"
However, Dongfang Yue didn't say anything, because he had already said that they could negotiate the conditions. Why did he suddenly say something like this? Uncle long, on the other hand, didn't have as many concerns as he did. He nodded and said,""Yes, please do as elder xue yuan says."
This time, The White Tiger first elder completely gave up.
Seeing The White Tiger first elder's ashen face, uncle long consoled him kindly,""Great Elder White Tiger, don't worry. We won't ask you to pay right now. You just need to pay us together with the conditions we've agreed on."
"Alright then!" Hearing this, The White Tiger first elder did not feel happy at all. Xue ran's goal had been achieved, so she sat down opposite The White Tiger first elder with a smile, clearly ready to listen to their negotiations.
Looking at Xue ran, The White Tiger first elder's mood became extremely downcast. He really did not want to see this old fox right now, but he did not dare to chase him away. The best way was to not see him. However, Xue ran clearly didn't realize that she was already annoying. In order to bond with The White Tiger great elder, she even took the initiative to switch seats with a White Tiger sitting next to the great elder, and then stared at The White Tiger next to her without blinking.
The first elder of The White Tiger clan felt uncomfortable under Xue ran's gaze, and he unconsciously released a cold aura from his body. Xue ran, who was slow to notice this, didn't retreat after sensing the cold aura around her. Instead, she enjoyed it.
"You can negotiate now." Seeing that no one was going to start a war of words, Xue ran was getting impatient.
"Cough, cough! Let's start!" Uncle long coughed helplessly and said.
"Alright, let's begin." The White Tiger first elder was so depressed that he didn't know what to say. Why was the big white fox beside him so close to him? Could it ask for protection?
As if she had a telepathic connection with The White Tiger great elder, Xue ran reached out her huge claw and patted The White Tiger great elder's shoulder,""Don't be afraid. They're all honest people. They won't frame you. Besides, I'll protect you."
"..." Uncle long, who was known as an honest man, had a completely different reaction from Dongfang Yue. Uncle long was smiling naively, while Dongfang Yue's face was cold. The White Tiger great elder didn't want to comment on the meaning of the word "honest." In his opinion, if these guys in front of him could be considered honest, then there would be no evil people in this world. Then, the whole world would be harmonious, everyone would help each other, love each other, help each other, be civilized, and be polite to build a harmonious great divine realm together. But now, the great elder couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart.
In your dreams! None of the people before him were law-abiding citizens. Otherwise, God Lord fogripple would have laughed so hard that he would wake up in his sleep. He would not be in his current state, so mad that he wanted to bang his head against a wall!
The White Tiger first elder swore from the bottom of his heart that he did not think well of these honest people.
"Uh! I wonder what kind of conditions you all have for the peace negotiations? as long as it's within our White Tiger race's capabilities, we'll definitely try our best to fulfill them. " After silently lamenting in his heart for a while, The White Tiger great elder decided to ignore Xue ran's disturbance and get straight to the point. He couldn't waste any more time, as his wife and children were still waiting for his safe return at home!
"Try to satisfy? So you're saying that you won't be able to satisfy all of the conditions we've proposed?" Dongfang Yue gave his own opinion after listening to The White Tiger first elder's words.
Today, he and uncle Long's division of labor was that uncle long would play the good guy while he played the bad guy. He would be the one to ask all the annoying things. This was also the task that uncle long had given him. In uncle Long's words, this task was not difficult and he had to complete it.
Therefore, he was very responsible in finding trouble.
Sure enough, The White Tiger first elder continued to feel depressed after hearing this. He could see that Dongfang Yue was deliberately making him unhappy. Did he have to grab onto its faulty wording? Although it did mean that. And the reason why he said that was also to give The White Tiger race a chance to bargain. After all, wasn't this what negotiation was like? They would haggle with each other and finally decide on the terms of the negotiation.
White Tiger's first elder had planned this out well before he came! The only thing he didn't expect was that the other party didn't follow the normal negotiation procedures. What could he do?
Saying that he was what Dongfang Yue said? That would definitely be asking for a beating! However, he didn't dare to make any promises either. If the other party were to demand an exorbitant price, The White Tiger race would truly have no way out.
As a member of The White Tiger race, and also the Grand Elder, how could he bear to see The White Tiger race decline? If they could negotiate, they might even be able to give The White Tiger race a chance to catch their breath. That was what it thought when it came here. However, at this moment, it wasn't so sure. In the eyes of The White Tiger race, they didn't have the slightest advantage at all. From the start, The White Tiger race had already decided to crush them. And the current state of The White Tiger race was also determined. They didn't dare to fight head-on with them. Woo ... They couldn't afford to! They would definitely be the ones to be crushed.
