"Alright, the last matter concerns the Enlightenment Pills."
"I think the conditions should be changed. Regardless of whether the mission is successfully completed or not, the Bright Hall must pay the Enlightenment Pills, though we will do our utmost!"
"You should know that the Huaxia forces are extraordinary, and we are stirring up trouble within Huaxia, so the success rate won't be very high. Failure is normal."
"We cannot pay a hefty price only to miss out on the Enlightenment Pills due to mission failure!"
Seeing that the other party had agreed, Ye Cangtian spoke again.
As soon as he finished speaking, both Xue Ye and Feng Ze nodded fiercely, expressing their agreement.
This was equivalent to buying insurance for the operation. Otherwise, if they truly failed and paid a heavy price, wouldn't they suffer a great loss?
"You..."
Facing the ever-pushing Po Xiao, Qiao's face turned red rapidly.
To be honest, if Po Xiao hadn't come from the Dark Association, he would have had the urge to strangle the other party to death.
Being deliberately difficult for him again and again, of course, filled his heart with murderous intent.
But the most crucial thing was that both Tianwang and Tingfeng Lou nodded in agreement. If he disagreed, Po Xiao would probably seize this opportunity to terminate the cooperation.
"Fine, I, on behalf of the Bright Hall, agree to your terms!"
Qiao gritted his teeth fiercely and agreed.
Now, everything was basically ready except for the east wind. He couldn't possibly terminate the operation because of a promise.
As for whether the Enlightenment Pills would be handed over later, that was another matter.
After all, the Bright Hall was not to be trifled with. If they had the ability, they could go to the Bright Hall to demand the Enlightenment Pills!
"Haha, I believe in your character, but let's get the ugly words out of the way first. If the Bright Hall doesn't hand over the Enlightenment Pills, don't blame us three parties for taking action."
Seeing the smile in Ye Cangtian's eyes, Qiao snorted and said, "Don't worry, the Bright Hall will never go back on its word!"
Pah!
How could he say such a thing? Had he forgotten about the last operation in Huaxia?
What a shameless act! Ye Cangtian muttered disdainfully in his heart, but he smiled slightly without revealing it.
He glanced at Nancy beside him and saw that Nancy showed a faint smile because Qiao was in a difficult situation. From this, he could tell that there were likely some conflicts between Nancy and Qiao.
On the other side, having confirmed the cooperation, Qiao slowly said, "To celebrate us putting aside our past grievances and successfully completing the mission, I think we should drink until we drop today!"
Although achieving cooperation was not easy and had angered him greatly, matters of courtesy still had to be observed.
As he spoke, he glanced at Nancy and said, "Nancy, make the arrangements!"
Nancy bit her lip fiercely. Although she found the other party somewhat disgusting, she had no choice but to turn and withdraw.
...
Inside the private room, songs and dances were lively, and the air was filled with the strong aroma of wine.
Several men had called some charming young women and were having a good time.
Ye Cangtian, however, disliked such occasions and found an excuse to go out for some fresh air.
He couldn't leave yet. Although cooperation had been reached, if he seemed too out of place, it would be difficult to stir up trouble in the future.
He came to the rooftop of the bar and slowly lit a cigarette.
However, not long after, he felt a presence behind him. Turning around, he saw Nancy walking over with a swaying gait, carrying a few bottles of wine.
Perhaps due to her bad mood, Nancy seemed to have drunk a lot today, her pretty face flushed, giving her a different kind of alluring charm.
She ignored Po Xiao, who was not far away, and instead looked up at the endless night sky, her figure appearing so lonely and desolate at that moment.
"Seeing that you've drunk a lot today, is there anything bothering you? Tell me about it?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at her and said with a smile.
Although they belonged to different factions, he had a good impression of Nancy, at least she wasn't as insidious as others from the Bright Hall.
Besides, he also wanted to know what conflicts existed between Nancy and Qiao, and whether they could be exploited.
"Why should I tell you! You're no good either!"
Nancy glanced at Ye Cangtian with her drunken eyes and said with extreme disdain.
She had no good impression of Po Xiao. When Po Xiao was still Xuan Qi, he had bullied her in Dongdu. She considered it the greatest humiliation in her life!
To put it bluntly, in her eyes, her greatest enemies in this life were Po Xiao and Ye Cangtian. These two were also the people she hated the most! Both had brought her endless shame!
"Heh heh, we are just partners now!"
"Besides, when people are depressed, they always need to vent, otherwise they'll go crazy."
"Don't worry, I'll just be a listening ear, and I won't spread your affairs. This is a gentleman's promise!"
Ye Cangtian did not get angry, but smiled slightly, acting like a long-time friend.
Hmph!
Nancy snorted and ignored him, instead taking a large gulp of wine towards the starry sky.
"Hey, it's better to share joy than to enjoy it alone. You can't just drink by yourself, can you?"
Ye Cangtian's voice came, and Nancy glared at him. After a slight hesitation, she tossed a bottle of wine back.
She then snorted lightly and said, "Are you really that cheap? What kind of wine do you want in the private room? And there are so many hostesses, why do you insist on drinking with me!"
"I have no interest in those soulless husks."
"I'm more interested in your affairs. Why don't you tell me? Judging by the situation today, you haven't been doing well lately. What happened?"
Ye Cangtian winked playfully, took a sip of wine, and said with a teasing tone.
"I haven't been doing well, so what? Do you want to laugh at me?"
"Laugh your heart out! You have the right to laugh at me!"
Nancy glared fiercely at Po Xiao and snorted.
Originally, she was known as the proud daughter of the Bright Hall. In her opinion, her status was much higher than Xuan Qi of the Dark Association.
However, after failing to confront him time and time again, her status continued to decline, eventually leading to her current state.
In this kind of gathering, she couldn't even secure a seat.
Not only that, but she also had to serve these people tea and water, which was an immense humiliation for her!
On the other hand, Xuan Qi's life seemed to be on a cheat, soaring upwards, even directly breaking through to the Earth level, completely crushing her under his feet.
"I have no intention of laughing at you."
"I'm just wondering how you fell to this point?"
Ye Cangtian's voice came, and Nancy's face instantly showed a hint of anger.
She had just thought about these things herself, only to have them exposed by the other party. It felt like a wound being reopened.
"It's all because of that Ye Cangtian. I went to trouble him on his proposal day, and then he framed me..."
Nancy hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. However, when she mentioned this, she was truly filled with unbearable anger, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She didn't care about any gentleman's promise because, in her heart, neither Po Xiao nor Ye Cangtian were gentlemen.
The reason she spoke out was that Po Xiao's words had been suppressed in her heart for too long, and the feeling was truly unbearable.
Uh...
Hearing Nancy's words, Ye Cangtian was slightly stunned. He then remembered that when he faced Hasal, he had indeed played a trick on Nancy.
Besides, he couldn't be blamed for it. Who told Nancy to go and trouble him on his proposal day?
"An eye for an eye. You disrupted someone's proposal ceremony, and for him to scheme against you, it can be considered even."
Ye Cangtian glanced at Nancy and continued, "However, even so, with your talent, you shouldn't have fallen to this state, should you?"
"From what I know, the Bright Hall has quite a few cardinals backing you!"
