"Mr. Wu Yati, you're right, if I killed him, it might bring trouble upon myself. Now I want to know, if you killed him, would you face any trouble?"

Jiang Chen turned his head indifferently, looking toward Wu Yati as he spoke coldly.

"Me?"

Wu Yati was stunned for a moment, quickly realizing, his face turning extremely ugly as he spoke solemnly, "Mr. Jiang, are you trying to trap me?"

"My people have already killed a member of the Ge'er Family, moreover a strong one in the half-step Venerable Realm. We are about to cooperate, isn't it time you showed some sincerity? Or are you still considering cooperating with the Ge'er Family and kicking Jiuzhou Group out?" Jiang Chen looked coldly at Wu Yati.

A shock went through Wu Yati's heart, and he suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with horror as he stared into Jiang Chen's.

The meaning in Jiang Chen's words was very clear. They had already killed a member of the Ge'er Family, and to continue the cooperation, he must also kill a member of the Ge'er Family.

That way, neither party would need to worry about the other revealing this matter to the Ge'er Family, and if he didn't kill Ge'er Te, he probably wouldn't be able to leave this room alive.

Glancing around, Wu Yati looked at Li'er and Fa'er, then said solemnly, "Mr. Jiang, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, but I hope we can talk alone."

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, he glanced at Li'er, a guess forming in his mind.

Li'er and the other person were taken aback, their brows slightly furrowed.

Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Chen said indifferently, "We can talk, I also want to discuss the matters of mining with Mr. Wu Yati, but first, Mr. Wu Yati needs to take care of the current business!"

"Alright!" Wu Yati weighed it in his heart and bitingly agreed.

"Wu Yati, what are you trying to do? You, do you dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid of my Ge'er Family's retaliation?"

Ge'er Te's face changed. If Jiang Chen killed him, when his family found this place, Wu Yati might still spill the beans; if Wu Yati killed him, he might lose even the hope of having his family avenge him!

"Mr. Ge'er Te, the reason you are dying is due to your excessive greed; these mines were never yours to seize!" Wu Yati spoke coldly as he stood up and moved toward Ge'er Te.

"Think you can kill me? I'll kill you first!"

Buzz!

With a loud shout, Ge'er Te's aura burst forth, and he charged violently towards Wu Yati.

With a scornful smile on his lips, Wu Yati, being a Great Knight himself, viewed dealing with Ge'er Te as playing, now that he had made up his mind, he wouldn't go easy.

Bang!

Wu Yati exchanged a punch with Ge'er Te, and immediately, Ge'er Te was sent flying backward.

Whoosh!

Wu Yati pressed forward, catching up and grabbed Ge'er Te's neck, squeezing it harshly.

Crack!

Ge'er Te's head drooped limply, a look of extreme regret showing in his eyes.

Before dying, Ge'er Te deeply regretted opposing Jiang Chen.

Unfortunately, he realized it a bit too late!

Thud!

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Li'er, let's go to my estate to talk!" Casually throwing Ge'er Te's body on the ground, Wu Yati turned to Jiang Chen and Li'er.

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, stood up, and walked towards the door, not even glancing at Ge'er Te's body.

Ge'er Te was merely a stumbling block on his path to growth, now that it's been kicked away, there was no need to care about it.

Yan Hu and others also followed suit.

"Mu'er Ta, take care of things here, wake Li'er and the others, and see how much they know, and if..."

Wu Yati stayed behind until everyone else had left, then whispered a reminder to Mu'er Ta. By the end, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes," Mu'er Ta responded softly.

The group got into Wu Yati's car and headed towards Wu Yati's manor.

After a while, Xilai and Fa'er were sent out of the manor.

"Mr. Xilai, is Wu Yati trying to buy off Mr. Jiang?" As they walked out of the manor gate, Fa'er glanced back at the manor and spoke softly.

Xilai's expression turned solemn, and he replied in a low voice, "Let's go, let's find the elders!"

Manor's guest room.

After Xilai and the others had left, Jiang Chen and Wu Yati packed up the signed contract.

"Mr. Jiang, you come from Flame Dragon Kingdom, can you tell me about the kingdom?" Wu Yati asked with a light smile, looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked up at Wu Yati and said indifferently, "What exactly do you want to know?"

"I... I want to ask about safety," Wu Yati said quietly. "No offense, Mr. Jiang, but my ancestors were..."

After recounting his own past, Wu Yati smiled bitterly and said, "There are still some family members at home, but they must stay hidden. I really have no other choice but to ask Mr. Jiang for help, to take some people from my family to live in Flame Dragon Kingdom."

"This... Since you used to rely on the Dark Church, if I help you, wouldn't I be opposing the Holy Court?" Jiang Chen intentionally revealed a worried expression on his face.

"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, none of my family members have appeared in public. Even if they are seen by the people from the Church, they won't be recognized. Just bring them to Flame Dragon Kingdom, and I guarantee there will be no trouble for you. Moreover, the 20% profits from the mine that belong to me, I will give them all to you," Wu Yati promised as he patted his chest.

"All for me?!"

Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said quietly, "Mr. Wu Yati, I'm sorry, I need to think this over."

"Alright!"

Wu Yati smiled gently, "As long as Mr. Jiang agrees, my Paladin Knights can act as the guards for the mine, ensuring absolute safety during the mining process."

"What?"

Jiang Chen exclaimed again, his eyes suddenly lighting up, then he immediately pretended to be indifferent, "We have already hired the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group for protection, and they are arriving soon."

"Haha! More people means more strength!" Wu Yati laughed heartily.

"Alright, I'll consider it. I'll be taking my leave now!" Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before getting up to say goodbye.

"Alright, Mr. Jiang, take care! I wish you well," Wu Yati and Mu'er Ta also stood up at the same time.

The group walked out of the reception room towards the entrance of the manor.

"Mr. Wu Yati, do you think Jiang Chen will agree?"

At the manor gate, watching Jiang Chen and the others hurriedly leaving, Mu'er Ta asked softly.

"He will agree. Merchants pursue profits. Although he is powerful, he is essentially a merchant. Plus, being so young, he definitely won't be able to resist such a huge temptation. The benefits he can derive from this are merely 20%!" Wu Yati confidently said with a smile, "Moreover, with the promise of our Paladin Knights as guards, although Dragon Flame Mercenary Corps is the world's third ranked, do you think they would exclude a hundred strong Paladin Knights? The protection job will still fall to our Paladin Knights, so, Jiang Chen will definitely agree!"

Looking around, Wu Yati whispered, "Notify the people from the Dark Church to send some steadfast believers over. Later, let Jiang Chen take them to Flame Dragon."

"Yes," Mu'er Ta responded softly.
