97: Chapter 97 Yang Bai, Eugene and Slan

Magnet Lan Star, Giant Mountain Building, Special Interview Room.

Eugene the Dwarf and Viscount Slan of the Nature Elves sat there, waiting for a special visitor.

After waiting for half an hour, Viscount Slan felt a wave of annoyance and asked Eugene, "Eugene, you actually invited that [Bai Mu] here. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Eugene groomed his beard with a small golden comb and said, "Viscount Slan, special times call for special measures. You will naturally know what I intend to do soon enough."

"I hope you can satisfy me; otherwise, you will be making an enemy of the Nature Elves," Viscount Slan said sharply.

"Viscount Slan, watch your language."

Eugene slapped the table, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

"Creak!"

As the door opened, several aliens cloaked in grey robes walked in, and in the middle of this group was a figure wearing white robes.

These aliens were the members of White Jade Capital who had added the new skin MOD, and the one in the white robe was Yang Bai.

Chen Jianfeng pulled out a chair and then stood respectfully to the side.

Yang Bai sat down, crossed his hands, remained silent, and looked at the two with a smile on his face.

Just then, Zhou Yanlie exerted force with his arm, and a disabled alien with a chain tied around its neck was dragged into the conference room.

Viscount Slan stood up in shock, and a sickly green spiritual energy erupted from his body.

"Bai Mu, you deserve to die!!"

Viscount Slan said furiously.

The disabled elf lying on the ground seemed to have heard Viscount Slan's words and regained a bit of strength.

Aesaria lifted her pale face and said weakly, "Father, save me..."

Seeing Aesaria's miserable state, Viscount Slan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and lunged forward in a single stride.

The next second, the magic shield around Viscount Slan was shattered.

A golden gengjin spiritual sword blocked his path, and Chen Jianfeng's murderous gaze answered Viscount Slan.

Zhou Yanlie snorted coldly and yanked his arm, tightening the chain around Aesaria's neck, and her face was gripped in Zhou Yanlie's hand.

Crimson flames rose from his palm.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

"Screech ahhh~~"

Aesaria's body trembled violently; she was too weak, and even her two screams were feeble.

"You must be Viscount Slan. A pleasure, a pleasure. Little Aesaria talks about you quite often."

Yang Bai revealed a cruel smile, took hold of Viscount Slan's palm, and shook it.

Viscount Slan was trembling with rage and said, "Bai Mu, you bastard, what kind of skill is it to bully a little girl? If you have the guts, duel me!"

Yang Bai's eyes dimmed, and he said coldly:

"Viscount Slan, if you want to stand up for your daughter, then feel free. But if you are here for the things inside her head and want a share of the pie, then shut up and sit down immediately."

"Mr. Eugene, who invited me today, doesn't want to deal with you for the time being."

After saying this, Zhou Yanlie's palm gradually applied force, and Aesaria's little head began to deform, on the verge of being crushed.

Seeing that Yang Bai was serious, Viscount Slan panicked and quickly said, "Wait, Bai Mu, we don't need to do this."

Yang Bai did not speak, just looked at him with a smile.

Viscount Slan's face turned ashen, and he sat back in his seat, dejected, his eyes never leaving Zhou Yanlie's palm.

Seeing that Viscount Slan was obedient, Zhou Yanlie released his hand, and Aesaria fell heavily to the ground.

Eugene, sitting to the side, took everything in, but he did not intervene, nor did he say a word for Viscount Slan.

Eugene stroked his beard and asked curiously, "Bai Mu, what is in Aesaria's head? I am quite curious myself."

Yang Bai laughed and said earnestly, "Mr. Eugene, don't be curious about this. After all, this is a transaction between me and Viscount Slan, and it is a trade secret."

"Haha, is that so?"

Eugene glanced at Viscount Slan, who shrank his neck like a turtle, not daring to speak.

Eugene looked at Yang Bai and said earnestly:

"Mr. Bai Mu, I admire your courage and strategy."

"In just three days, you went from a blank slate Dead Apostle to being placed on a yellow wanted list, creating a criminal record in the territory of our [Xiju Mining] that is enough to be recorded in the company's development history."

"What I admire even more is that after hiding for a month, you actually dared to come back and contact me."

"Are you truly not afraid of death, or are you just a pure madman?"

The [Dead Apostle] in Eugene's mouth refers to those Star Sea Pioneers who have cancelled their identities and are "non-existent" in the Star Sea Hub.

During the month that Yang Bai was in seclusion, Eugene had tried everything in his power to investigate Yang Bai's identity.

However, Yang Bai entered Magnet Lan Star through a [private star sea hub pod], so the public Star Sea Hub could not find his identity.

Thus, Eugene regarded Yang Bai as one of those madmen who had lost their identities.

"Mr. Eugene, it wasn't me who contacted you; it was you who invited me. Wouldn't it be too rude of me not to show up?"

Speaking of which.

Yang Bai patted the table and said seriously:

"Alright, let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point. I want money, I want power, and I want a foothold in Zhatie City. You should arrange it immediately."

Eugene's hand paused, his face full of disbelief,

"Bai Mu, you are a wanted criminal; do you have the qualifications to talk to me about this? I called you here to give you a chance to redeem yourself, and you, on the other hand, start talking nonsense right away."

Yang Bai took a cigarette from his bosom and snapped his fingers. Peng Hao, who was standing behind him, immediately drew his spiritual bow. A Zhuoshui Divine Thunder Arrow flashing with lightning appeared on the bow, its tip pointing directly at Eugene's head.

Seeing this scene, Eugene's face sank, and golden magic wrapped around his body.

"Don't be nervous. I have no malice."

Yang Bai reached out, used the thunder arrow to light the cigarette in his hand, and said:

"If I wanted to, I would have already razed this place to the ground."

"A business friend of mine told me that if you want to negotiate business with someone, you must have bargaining chips."

Eugene sneered and said, "Are your people your bargaining chips?"

"Yes, but not the group of people behind me."

Yang Bai waved his hand, signaling Peng Hao to put away the thunder arrow, and continued, "Did you forget where I appeared last time?"

Eugene thought for two seconds, suddenly realized something, and said furiously, "Bai Mu, do you really dare to do that?"

Yang Bai smiled and blew a smoke ring, saying, "Don't ask me. The communicator is right beside your hand; wouldn't it be more convenient to just ask directly?"

Eugene clenched his hand, then opened the chip system and started using the pager.

"Mr. Eugene, what is the matter?"

"Lord Eugene, hello. May I ask if there is any urgent matter regarding your contact?"

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"Lord Eugene?"

After making a dozen calls, Eugene turned off the communicator, his expression ferocious, and said, "Bai Mu, you actually dared to attack [Xiju Mining]'s transport ships. You are making an enemy of [Xiju Mining]."

That's right, before Yang Bai left last time, he had given Hark a good beating at [New Hope] Ship Company and then removed the safe from his office.

And in that safe, there happened to be the ledger data for recent ship rentals.
