Chapter 26 Negotiation Breakdown
Earl Dole was about to open his mouth to talk about the conditions he had prepared long ago, but he was blocked by Xu Yi as soon as he opened his mouth. He couldn't help coughing, and looked at Xu Yi.
"President Xu, what are you talking about?" Earl Dole's eyes widened in disbelief. "You said it was impossible? I just mentioned the first condition, and you said it was impossible? Did you come to negotiate with me?"
"I'm just targeting your first condition." Xu Yi responded indifferently. "Since the noble's private domain has been cancelled, there is no possibility of returning it. I absolutely cannot agree to this."
Earl Dole said angrily: "Then do you want to talk about it?"
"Of course." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Please tell me the other conditions for the next, we should still have room for negotiation."
Earl Dole shook his hand angrily: "The first condition is the most important and basic condition. If you don't agree, we won't have any possibility of going on talking!"
"Oh?" Xu Yi smiled, stood up, and saluted Earl Dole. "Then let's call it a day. When you figure it out, Earl Dole, we'll negotiate again."
Earl Dole was stunned when he saw that Xu Yi turned around and left after giving the salute without any delay.
"President Xu, are you really planning to leave like this? Are you not going to save your subordinates?"
Xu Yi turned around and glanced at Earl Dole: "Of course my subordinates want to be saved, but it is absolutely impossible for me to agree to this condition. Earl Dole, let's talk after you calm down and think about it. .”
Let go of this sentence. Xu Yi left without turning his head.
Earl Dole raised his arm subconsciously. He wanted to drag Xu Yi back. But still hold back after all.
After Xu Yi left the hall, the Duchess of Windsor turned out from a small door at the back.
Seeing her, Earl Dole rushed over as if seeing a savior, and begged, "Auntie, how could Xu Yi react like this? Is he really not going to want his subordinates? "
The Duchess of Windsor also frowned slightly, looking at the direction Xu Yi was leaving, after a moment of contemplation, she smiled and said: "President Xu is really an interesting person. But I am very surprised, where does he come from? Are you negotiating like this? Is it because of his little Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
"This..." The expression on Earl Dole's face changed several times. Still couldn't help but muttered: "The guards of their chamber of commerce... are really strong..."
The Duchess of Windsor glanced at Earl Dole, and snorted coldly: "That's just playing prestige in front of you useless subordinates, can you still beat the elites I brought? Besides, more Give him a few guts, and I don't believe he dares to do it."
Earl Dole hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course. Aunt, you are a big shot from the Candela Empire. This Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been seeking opportunities to enter the Candela Empire for the past two years. Now that you appear, he has no time to curry favor with you, so what? Dare to touch you."
"Just know." The Duchess of Windsor pondered for a moment, then continued: "Well, no matter what this guy says. You insist on these conditions and don't let go. If he doesn't agree, don't let him go."
"Then what if he really refuses to agree all the time? We can't really kill his subordinates..."
"Fool!" The Duchess of Windsor snapped angrily. "His subordinates fell into our hands. He, the president, has been trying to rescue him. If he spreads the word, what prestige can he have as a president. Don't you have that thing called a newspaper here? Find some Let’s see if he dares to drag this matter out.”
Earl Dole's eyes lit up: "High! Auntie, your idea is really high. There are several newspapers in the south of our principality that are aimed at people like us. I'll go find them and get this matter published."
After finishing speaking, Earl Dole hesitated again: "But we did not do well in this matter. If it is really published in the newspaper... I am afraid that there will be more people who scold me..."
"Idiot!" The Duchess of Windsor couldn't help cursing again: "You don't even have the ability to turn black into white. How did you become a nobleman for so many years?"
Earl Dole shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I will find a way, auntie, don't worry."
"Hmph! Instead of worrying about you, I might as well worry about the subordinates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce you captured. I always feel that this Xu Yi definitely doesn't want to give up his subordinates just like that. You have to be careful that he finds a way to get those subordinates The subordinates were rescued by other methods." The Duchess of Windsor reminded.
"Well, I understand. But Auntie, I don't think there is any need to worry about it. There are so many elites brought by you, the great magician Randy, to attend the consultation in person. Xu Yi should not say that it is impossible to save people from them If you come out, I'm afraid you won't even dare to attack them." Earl Dole said with a smile.
"Hmph! Forgive him for not daring."
###
Xu Yi, who walked out of the gate of Earl Dole's private estate, did not leave too far, and directly activated his magic power to use teleportation magic in front of the two personal guards who opened the door.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Yi appeared in a small forest.
At this moment in the woods, there were 50 guards from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards on guard. Suddenly they saw a figure appearing in front of them, and they all took up their weapons and aimed at Xu Yi.
"It's me, what's the situation?" Xu Yi raised his hand and asked.
Seeing that it was Xu Yi, the guards breathed a sigh of relief.
Captain Hart, who personally led the guards to ambush here, pointed to a wooden wall not far from the forest and replied: "I have received the information from the Akali Research Institute, but intermittently, it is not completely."
"There must be a high-level magician guarding her. Of course, it is impossible to continuously send out magic signals." Xu Yi nodded, and came to the three young men who were surrounded by the guards and wore the uniforms of the researcher of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. . "What did the message from Akali say?"
These three researchers were brought by Xu Yi when he left the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce yesterday. They were actually members of the Akali research team. They were not arrested by Earl Dole because they were engaged in other work before. .
The reason for bringing them here is because of a knee-high instrument that the three of them are closely monitoring now.
This instrument has been emitting a faint light blue magic light, and it will flicker twice from time to time. It looks a bit weird when placed in this dark grove.
This instrument is a communication receiver developed by the Akali research team based on the magic resonance technology. If the magic wave of a specific wave frequency is used for induction, it can reveal some messages that others seem to be messy and unintelligible. .
However, if these information fall into the hands of the Akali research team, useful information can be analyzed by initiating a special program formulated.
Originally, this thing was researched by Akali and used in some places where it is inconvenient to use the magic talking box, and the scope of use is not too wide.
But it is very appropriate to use it here now to receive some messages from Akali who is in Earl Dole's private estate at this time.
A researcher handed Xu Yi a piece of paper to record the message.
Xu Yi took it over and took a look, and found that the records above were indeed intermittent, and they were all extremely short messages.
But through these messages, some useful information can be summarized.
According to the information conveyed by Akali, she and other subordinates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are gathered together at this time and are being held in a cellar in Earl Dole's private estate. Although the situation cannot be said to be good, it cannot It's too bad, at least no one was hurt.
Seeing this, Xu Yi felt relieved.
His only worry was that Earl Dole didn't take these people too seriously and would torture them first.
It now appears that Earl Dole is still restraining these people, at least as Xu Yi guessed, at least until the terms of the two parties have not been negotiated.
After reading it, Xu Yi turned to Hart and asked, "How is the survey of the terrain in the manor?"
Hart chuckled, took out a map from his pocket and spread it out in front of Xu Yi.
"We checked the manor more than a dozen times in the sky through the magic airship, but they didn't respond at all. It's really careless."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that people in this world are not used to the existence of magic airships, and who would be safe from enemies in the sky.
Looking down at the map, I found that the map was recorded in great detail, and almost every part of Earl Dole's private estate was clearly marked, not even a rockery or a tree was spared.
"Master President, look. According to the analysis of the information sent by the Akali Research Institute, we judge that she and others should be in this place." Hart pointed out a location in the north of the middle of the private manor.
From the map, there is only a small rockery and a small forest here on the surface, and there is no place where people can be detained.
"There should be a large underground cellar. When we explored at high altitude, we found that someone entered a rockery from here and did not come out for a long time." Hart added.
"So this should be the entrance." Xu Yi nodded, and asked again: "Then what about the defense forces around here? Have you detected it?"
Hart shook his head: "Perhaps most of them are concentrated underground, so it doesn't look too tight on the surface, and probably only guards with less than fifty people can be seen."
"Okay, now that the situation is generally clear, let's take action immediately when the backup arrives." Xu Yi slapped the map with his palm, his eyes flicked over the faces of the other guards around him, and said in a deep voice. (To be continued..)
