The sourness of that taste is simply beyond words.

If you want to make a fortune in the Federation during the rainy season, perhaps the immediate priority now is to consider how to remove this stumbling block.

Either smash it or turn him into your goalkeeper.

Otherwise, how did Xinquan become such a thorn in everyone's side?

At this moment, hearing Tu Sihai speak, Ji Jue immediately understood—oh, so it's a bunch of smelly outsiders coming to our Federation to beg!

Who's looking down on whom?

The Federation is the real deal!

Do you expect me to work for just this little bit of stuff?

"So, if I don't agree... aren't you planning to attack by force?"

Ji Jue laughed, glancing at their appearance:

"Have you guys thought it through?"

Tu Sihai was 'shocked' and resolutely shook his head: "What are you saying? Business is all about integrity, how could we resort to violence? We are here to make friends, not enemies!"

Even if not even a dog would believe such words, one couldn't nod and admit that you guessed right, begging you to quickly kneel and welcome the king's army, otherwise your blood will splash on the city walls!

Besides, hadn't they already made preparations for both scenarios?

Even if Ji Jue didn't agree, it didn't matter. Everyone wasn't just here to eat leftovers, could Hai Province so many settlements be taken by force, but Xinquan could not?

Even if Ji Jue was all-powerful, what if he swayed the Security Bureau?

You can be a thief for a thousand days, but how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? Will the people of the Security Bureau squat here permanently? Besides, every year during the rainy season, disasters occur frequently — do they not have work to do?

As for Desert Market... Is it possible that no other places are involved in this matter?

Back when that old dog Lei Wuye was alive, wasn't he the most diligent every year? Occupying the distance between Cliff City and Spring City, wanting to swallow thirty percent of the profits in one bite!

This year, since Chen Xingzhou is still finding his footing, it's the perfect time for everyone to earn a big profit, how can Ji Jue block the road?

"In such matters, it's always mutually beneficial, Mr. Ji."

Tu Sihai advised earnestly: "Why not lift your esteemed hand?"

"Lift? Esteemed hand?"

Ji Jue scoffed immediately, tapping the box in front of him: "I would love to, just that... with just this little stuff, it's hard for me to say anything to your friends."

"This is just a token of meeting, if we could cooperate, the General would certainly not be stingy with friends!"

Tu Sihai promised decisively: "Apart from this, according to the General's intent, we are willing to give an additional ten percent of what we hunt this time... Of course, if you want to join in, we are more than welcome.

As friends, we should earn money together!"

Saying this, he guaranteed fervently, worried that Ji Jue wouldn't believe him, even willing to accept a lie detector.

Because everything he said was the truth.

If you can really cooperate, the Water Ghosts definitely won't skimp on payment. Everyone knows the difference between a feast and regular meals, how much more can Ji Jue really get?

After all, craftsmen are scarce talent everywhere, who wouldn't mind having one more backup route?

The little brothers can wield watermelon knives and risk their lives, but only big bosses managing things can understand the weight of creating wealth through harmony.

A living Ji Jue can become a partner, a dead Ji Jue only brings trouble.

At his current position and height, not many people can decide his life and death with a word, nor can many manipulate him at will.

"That's a great idea."

Hearing this, Ji Jue couldn't help but applaud, filled with pleasure: "Indeed, friends earn money together. I've already felt the General's kindness and sincerity!

After all, the scale is large, expenditures are high, and the craftsman's money is never enough. With such generosity from the General, I naturally have no reason not to cooperate."

He smiled warmly, full of enthusiasm: "So, at this point, there's only a small problem left to solve."

"No worries, our agency is dedicated to solving problems for our clients!"

Tu Sihai grinned, "Please don't hesitate to say it!"

Damn it, craftsmen are all insatiable mad dogs!

We already offered an extra ten percent, and still want to hike the price further!

"You might have misunderstood me."

Ji Jue sighed suddenly, feeling dejected: "To say it's a trouble, it's actually not; to say it's simple, it's not that simple either. This problem is neither too big nor too small, I'm just afraid you can't handle it."

"No worries, a friend's issue is our issue."

Tu Sihai calmed down and sincerely promised: "Rest assured, we are professionals and won't leave any hidden dangers for you. Please give us a chance, tell me where the problem is."

"The problem is right here."

Ji Jue shrugged, regretfully smiling, no longer concealing his mockery and disdain.

"—I'm not willing."

In an instant, the office fell into a deathly silence.

Tu Sihai's expression twitched, and behind him, Jin Ya and Feng Ming shook visibly, had it not been for Tu Sihai's prior instructions, they might have already burst into angry curses.

Yet even so, they couldn't help but glare angrily.

Then they felt it, that bone-chilling dread when those pitch-black eyes glanced over!

The heart seized in the instant, almost stopping its beat.

"Honestly, Mr. Tu, I really admire you, and your so-called... haha, 'General'."

Ji Jue rested his chin on his hand, smiling with ambiguity: "You always think beautifully, like kindergarten kids, holding on to some baseless expectations and desires from others.
