After Ye Xuan's voice fell, a 'snap' sound echoed from the opposite valley!

Soon, two intense beams of light lit up on both sides of the valley, casting giant lights that illuminated the surrounding area as bright as day.

At that moment, not far in front of Ye Xuan and Zi Ye, three foreign men emerged from behind a massive rock.

Leading them was a tall white man, none other than the leader of the Seven Seas Red Devils, Felix!

"My friends, welcome! We've been expecting you for a long time."

Felix spoke with a magnetic, resonant voice, his smile echoing throughout the valley.

Upon seeing these three, Ye Xuan's expression was calm, as if he had already known, while Zi Ye's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.

He really got it right; there actually were three people hidden there!

This is truly remarkable; how did he figure it out? Could he actually possess some kind of predictive ability as Ye Xuan claimed?

Thinking of this, she quickly scanned the area around the valley vigilantly because Ye Xuan had mentioned there were six people in total!

Since the positions of these three were accurately stated, the remaining three probably couldn't escape either! Moreover, as they were hidden snipers, the danger level significantly rose, and she had to stay on guard at all times.

Across, Felix walked forward and halted about seven or eight meters away from Ye Xuan, scrutinizing them both.

His gaze focused on Zi Ye's face for a long time, his brow slightly furrowed as he asked, "You aren't Miss Liu Liu. Why haven't I seen Miss Liu arrive? Did she not come, or is there no sincerity?"

Though he felt all Yan Country people looked somewhat alike, just as in Yan Country, foreigners seemed to have similar appearances too; this deep-rooted recognition of one's own people's features is ingrained in the blood and bones of each tribe!

However, Zi Ye was distinct enough from Liu Yanyan, being a standard mixed-race beauty who was easy to distinguish.

While Liu Yanyan is also a stunning woman with a queen-like aura, compared to Zi Ye's mixed race features, there's still a noticeable difference! This is why Felix immediately recognized that she was not Liu Yanyan.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we bring what you want. Talking with me is the same as talking with her," Zi Ye said indifferently.

Hearing this, Felix raised an eyebrow, with his gaze landing on the wooden box in Ye Xuan's hand, a smile spreading across his rugged face as he said, "Indeed! But I must commend you; initially, I thought Miss Liu's beauty was unmatched in Yan Country. Yet near her stands such an astonishingly beautiful woman! If every woman in Yan Country looked like this, I'd want to stay here forever."

Of course, this was said casually; neither Ye Xuan nor Zi Ye would truly believe he'd stay in Yan Country.

Such international mercenaries who illegally enter countries, if they linger too long and get discovered by Yan Country's military, the consequences would be dire!

They would directly be sent to the international tribunal, where a sentencing of a hundred or eighty years would be considered lenient.

"Alright, let's skip the useless chatter and discuss the main business!"

Ye Xuan abruptly interrupted, speaking with slight impatience, "You wouldn't refuse to negotiate just because Miss Liu didn't come, would you?"

"No, no, no! Of course, we will negotiate; as long as you bring the item, Miss Liu's presence doesn't matter much."

Felix smiled slightly, then turned to Zi Ye, praising her, "Moreover, to transact with such a beauty, I feel very honored!"

"Then let's proceed quickly," Ye Xuan said.

"No problem."

Felix shrugged and then gestured to the wooden box Ye Xuan was holding, requesting, "Now, please hand it over to me!"

"Here you go! You should've said so earlier; you're wasting our time."

Ye Xuan said impatiently and casually tossed the wooden box to Felix, saying indifferently, "Check if it's the item you wanted, don't accuse me later of tricking you with counterfeits! Better inspect thoroughly."

Catching the thrown box, Felix immediately opened the lid and took out the lustrous translucent White Jade Seal, holding it up for closer inspection.

Still feeling uneasy, he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a piece of paper identical to the Jade Seal to compare them.

Carefully and repeatedly scrutinizing, Felix finally confirmed that the jade seal was identical to the one depicted on the paper; it must be the piece his client desired!

At least, outwardly, it appeared to be so, without any discrepancies.

Smiling brightly, he felt relief; once the item was secured, the task was largely complete.

Once delivered to the client, he'd receive a reward of two hundred million Federation Coins.

Thinking of this, he smiled even more contentedly, excitement mingling in his look!

Unexpectedly, obtaining two hundred million Federation Coins was so effortlessly simple—a true first in their many missions...

"Hey, have you confirmed it yet? How long do you need to check it?" Ye Xuan shouted impatiently, his eyes flashing.

"Indeed! This is what we need."

Felix nodded, placing the Jade Seal back in the box before handing it to a nearby white companion to hold.

He lifted his head, smiling broadly at Ye Xuan and Zi Ye, "Alright, your sincerity is evident, which pleases me greatly! Since you've honored the agreement, naturally we won't break it; soon, we'll release Miss Murong."

"Why not now? I need you to release her immediately—right now!" Ye Xuan demanded sternly.

"Release her now? Well... that's feasible. I can accommodate your demand and release Miss Murong right away, though I have one condition."

As he spoke, Felix smiled and held up one finger in front of them, waving it slightly.

"What condition?" Ye Xuan asked.

"It's simple: have this beautiful lady accompany us."

Felix flashed a peculiar smile, looking toward Zi Ye and pointing his raised finger at her.

What!

Hearing this, while Ye Xuan didn't show much reaction, Zi Ye's eyes flared with icy light as she stared at him, "Clarify what you mean!"

"Haha, didn't you understand? Let me repeat! I want you to leave Yan Country with us."

Felix's eyes glinted with odd light as he spoke lightly, arms crossed.
