Chapter 2357 - Second term

Chapter 2357: Second term

When Yin Heng heard Lord Yuan, he became invigorated. “Lord Yuan, tell me. Whatever terms you want, I, Yin Heng, will do everything I can to fulfill them as long as I can do it!”

“You?”

Lord Yuan glanced at Yin Heng and chuckled lightly. “Yin Heng, it’s not that old brother is looking down on you, but I’m afraid you can’t fulfill my request.”

Although Yin Heng was chagrined, he didn’t dare to retort and could only respond with a pandering smile. “Lord Yuan, please lay out your thoughts.”

“Alright.” Lord Yuan chuckled again. “I don’t care about you or any of your objectives; I just have two terms. My first term is that Fengsha wants this amount.”

Lord Yuan extended several fingers, expressing the price mentally.

“This price… Isn’t it a little…”

Yin Heng frowned deeply after seeing Lord Yuan’s listed price. Wasn’t he demanding an exorbitant price?

“Don’t rush to make a decision based on the price. Hear my second term first,” Lord Yuan continued.

Yin Heng reined in his emotions and said with a nod, “Okay. Continue, Lord Yuan.”

“For this second term, my previous sentiment still holds—I don’t care about your objective. However, regardless of who obtains power in the future Arbitration Council, as long as I accomplish this mission, Fengsha Mercenary must be treated as the Arbitration Council’s official mercenary,” Lord Yuan said.

“Official…”

Yin Heng started cursing after his initial shock passed. This was more exorbitant than his first demand.

When did the Arbitration Council ever have an official mercenary team?

Especially one with a not-so-great reputation like Fengsha…

“Lord Yuan, how about we discuss it some more…” Yin Heng suggested after mulling it over for a moment.

“No need,” Lord Yuan replied indifferently. “Brother Yin Heng, you don’t have room to negotiate here with me. Whether it’s the first term or the second term, you must do as I ask. Of course, both sides have to be willing in a business deal. If you’re not willing, then we can say we merely met to catch up today and share a cup of tea together. It’s not a problem.”

“Lord Yuan, regarding the price, there shouldn’t be a problem, but… if you want to make Fengsha the Arbitration Council’s official mercenary group, well… I’m afraid it’s not something I can decide…” Yin Heng answered with a furrow of his brows.

“Oh?” Lord Yuan snorted. “What, Brother Yin? Are you playing with me? If you can’t even decide a trivial matter like this, why did you invite me here?”

“Lord Yuan, wait a moment.”

The next second, Yin Heng called Qin Xiyuan.

The call ended within a minute and Yin Heng turned to Lord Yuan again. “I agree to both of your terms, Lord Yuan. Should we go through the formalities and sign a paper contract?”

“Brother Yin Heng, that won’t be necessary. I believe Brother Yin Heng wouldn’t dare to go back on your word.” After saying that, Lord Yuan thew down several bills on the tea table. “I will pay for the tea today.”

Then he left the tea house.

Yin Heng finally heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Lord Yuan’s departing figure.

This man might look harmless but he terrified him.

Especially that sentence: “you won’t go back on your word.”

Indeed, if Yin Heng went back on his word and didn’t fulfill his promise to Fengsha, an abyss would await him.

However, since the leader of Fengsha, Lord Yuan, agreed to the deal of assassinating Yi Yunmo, Yin Heng could relax.

In this world, there was nearly nothing Fengsha couldn’t accomplish if they wanted to.

“Si Yehan, did you think you latched onto Yi Lingjun’s daughter…? What you’re clutching will end up becoming a corpse… You’re fated to be beneath me for eternity and will never win!”

Yin Heng’s eyes were stormy as his lips curled up into an icy smile.
