Chapter 243: Chapter 225: The Trade
In the guest hall of Summer Garden Mall, Su Han eventually arrived to meet with Zhao Yaqian.
Upon entering the guest hall, only Zhao Yaqian was there, sitting quietly, her expression solemn, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
As Su Han walked in, Zhao Yaqian stood up, “Lord Su.”
“Sit down.”
Su Han motioned for Zhao Yaqian to sit, then cut straight to the chase, “You want to trade for Black Rock Tree Monsters? How many?”
Zhao Yaqian scrutinized Su Han’s expression carefully, but couldn’t discern any tendencies, even as a sensitive individual, she failed to detect any subtle changes.
In front of Su Han, she could only feel a powerful presence bearing down on her, increasing the pressure she felt.
“Twenty. We plan to exchange artillery schematics and the ammunition formula along with a production line for manufacturing shells,” Zhao Yaqian said upfront, bringing out her biggest bargaining chip, knowing full well that without showing sincerity, the deal would never succeed.
Yet Su Han’s eyes remained calm as he said, “You do have ideas. How do you plan to trade the Black Rock Tree Monsters, take them with you, or Contract them?”@@@@
He looked at Zhao Yaqian with interest but didn’t directly agree or refuse, leaving her anxious.
“If you agree, we will have the Southern City Guards Contract them,” she said, pausing slightly before adding softly, “We hope the artillery trade can compensate for the deficit incurred by the ancient trees re-breeding their offspring. We truly need the help of the Black Rock Tree Monsters for expanding outside the park area.”
They had traded many times between their camps, and naturally understood each other’s tactics. By subtly suggesting that their offspring were a renewable resource, Zhao Yaqian was hoping to coax Su Han into relenting.
However, Su Han only chuckled in response and countered, “Do you know we are reconquering the entire Northern District? The perimeter of the wall encircling the Northern District is at least 50 kilometers, no less. Yet the number of Black Rock Tree Monsters I have is limited.”
Zhao Yaqian’s expression darkened slightly as she was about to speak, but hurried footsteps were already approaching.
“No need, I’ll go there myself,” Su Han shook his head, then added, “Continue with the planned sweep in the third ring region.”
“Understood.”
Once Ye Kailing heard Su Han would take matters into his own hands, she knew the issue was as good as resolved.
After excusing herself from the meeting room, she departed quickly.
Su Han’s gaze settled on Zhao Yaqian as he suddenly said, “Come with me, we can talk on the way.”
Though it was a spur-of-the-moment decision for Su Han, Zhao Yaqian had no opportunity to refuse, nor did she wish to refuse, as she wanted to see the Tree Domain Camp’s setup in the Eastern District for herself.
Therefore, she nodded in agreement, “I’ll also help.”
Su Han just smiled, but didn’t take her offer to help seriously, and he led Zhao Yaqian out of the building.
A huge red figure hastily swept across the sky, landing dominantly in front of them.
“What?!”
Zhao Yaqian gasped in surprise, noticing that Su Han’s Blood-winged Alligator Dragon had clearly advanced again. Its powerful aura, unabated and even more fearsome, was overwhelming.
“Get on. We’ll reach the Eastern District quickly,” Su Han instructed as he and Zhao Yaqian mounted the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon. The blood-red scales writhed like blood, forming spiky protrusions in front of them for stability.
Zhao Yaqian was still unaware of what was happening when the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon had already soared into the sky, swiftly flying low towards the Eastern District, the howling wind zipping past their ears.
Had the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon not had a certain degree of control over the wind, the strong breeze against their bodies might have knocked them down.
“You, you’ve expanded into the Eastern District already?”
