Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: No Room for Negotiation

Such a big venue, yet Jiang Kai only gave the Xuanwu Guild twenty minutes to decide.

After the Second Elder realized that Jiang Kai had not left them any room for negotiation, he immediately left Jingwu Square with He Shishi.

About ten minutes later, a group of people hurriedly walked in from the arena entrance.

They all had the unified word "Xuanwu" on them.

After seeing these people, Luo Ping looked slightly serious, "Jiang Kai, you've summoned all of Xuanwu's management, huh? The one walking in front is Xuanwu Guild's President Liu Yuanxiang, next to him is Huang Jianguo, behind is Grand Elder He Yunqiang, and behind Second Elder Li Shen is Third Elder Zhou Jiahao…"

Jiang Kai slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Huang Jianguo.

This man must be the Huang family's backer within the Xuanwu Guild.

Liu Yuanxiang and the others quickly walked up to Luo Ping and Jiang Kai, first greeting Luo Shen, then walking up to Jiang Kai and cupping his fists, saying, "Little Brother Jiang Kai, hello, I am Liu Yuanxiang, the president of Xuanwu Guild. I've long admired your name."

Jiang Kai looked at him coldly and returned the gesture casually, "Looks like the deadline I gave you is about to be up. Seems like President Liu has made a decision."

"This…" Liu Yuanxiang looked troubled, "It's like this. I came here this time to ask Brother Jiang Kai if you could show some mercy."

Jiang Kai snorted coldly, "I'm not familiar with President Liu, so I don't dare to be called 'Brother.' Just call me by name."

"Sorry, President Liu, back when Huang Da tried to murder my sister, did he ask me if I would show mercy?"

"This… Jiang Kai bro… Jiang Kai, we can agree to the other two conditions. As long as Huang Tong, Huang Da, and Huang Wei have cases, we will not shield them. We will punish them strictly by law! It's just that the Huang family branch—first, they were the founders of Xuanwu; second, as you know, we are responsible for more than twenty sub-guilds and constantly organizing personnel to explore Ghost Star, so inevitably, we've been negligent in managing those under us."

"If Huang Tong and the others did wrong, we won't tolerate them. But the Huang family has over 300 people, some of whom have barely interacted with Huang Tong. You asking us to expel the entire Huang family branch—isn't that a bit too heartless?"

Jiang Kai calmly looked at Liu Yuanxiang, thought briefly, and smiled slightly, "I'm not someone who likes to explain too much, but if you put it that way, I have to clarify."

"Your people abused their power. Worse, they not only targeted me in Tianzhi, but also extended it to reality, trying to kill my whole family. Now you're telling me you'll punish them strictly? Then may I ask—what were you doing before?"

"If I weren't now grabbing you by the throat, would you run over and say you'd punish Huang Tong?"

"President Liu says many in the Huang family are innocent. But sorry—when you make a mistake, you get punished. Too bad for you, I'm petty. Watching only those three get punished? I'm not satisfied!"

"The reason they were so brazen is because their surname is Huang, right? Since that identity gave them privileges, then today—I'll uproot that privilege at its foundation!"

"This is Vice President Huang Jianguo, right? If the Huang family branch has anyone to blame, it's not me—they should blame them!"

Huang Jianguo slightly narrowed his eyes, "So what you're saying is, there's no room for negotiation?"

Jiang Kai snorted, "I never told you there was room for negotiation!" After speaking, Jiang Kai looked at his watch and said, "Alright, the time is up. Now give me your answer."

"Jiang Kai, you're pushing people too far!" Huang Jianguo shouted angrily.

Jiang Kai was unmoved, turning away without looking at him again.

Anyway, Luo Shen was right beside him. That Huang Jianguo probably wouldn't dare make a move.

Liu Yuanxiang grabbed the agitated Huang Jianguo, shook his head at him, and signaled with his eyes not to be impulsive.

"Fine, Jiang Kai, we agree to all your conditions!" Liu Yuanxiang said loudly. "We only ask that you withdraw from the upcoming match."

Only then did Jiang Kai turn around. He looked at the furious Huang Jianguo, looked at the glaring elders of Xuanwu, and calmly smiled, "I know what you're thinking—you're not convinced, huh?"

"Yeah, you Xuanwu have tons of battle gods, yet now you're being forced to bow to me."

"But I suggest you all calm down and reflect on your mistakes. Let me warn you again—if you dare provoke me again, the next time I stand across from you, you won't even have a chance to hold a meeting!"

Luo Ping sighed. He hadn't expected Jiang Kai to be this forceful.

Even though Xuanwu agreed to Jiang Kai's demands, without a doubt, they would also remember today's humiliation—which probably isn't good news for Jiang Kai…

But after all, Luo Ping was just a middleman. What had already been decided, he couldn't interfere with.

"Alright, since both parties have reached an agreement, I'll shamelessly play middleman and ensure both sides fulfill their promises."

"President Liu, regarding the Huang family branch, I will help supervise. For the investigation into Huang Tong and the other two's crimes, I'll assign military personnel to handle it and ensure they face legal judgment. Now, you need to give me 200,000 contribution points. Also, He Shishi and the five others including Siji Chong must quit the guild and join Jiang Kai's guild."

Liu Yuanxiang's chest heaved violently, but since the matter was already decided, there was no room to retreat.

"Much obliged, Luo Shen." Liu Yuanxiang raised his wrist and transferred 200,000 contribution points to Luo Ping.

After verifying the transaction, Luo Ping looked at Jiang Kai, "Jiang Kai, I'll personally follow up on the rest. Now you must withdraw from the match."

Jiang Kai smiled slightly, threw the Xuanwu battle flag in his hand to the ground, and said, "Just as well, I'm tired. If I don't fight, I don't fight."

Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands in the crowd, Jiang Kai calmly left the Jingwu Arena.

As Jiang Kai left the Jingwu Arena, he saw that He Shishi had already cried into a mess of tears.

With her identity as a battle god, the status of a Xuanwu sub-guild president, her talent, beauty—yet now she had to run off to a C-rank guild and do cleaning work? That was pure humiliation!

Not only that, Siji Chong even had to go with her… How could they lift their heads in the future?

"The base isn't that big, if five people clean it, it should be spotless," Jiang Kai thought.

Jiang Kai hadn't walked far when someone suddenly chased after him from behind.

"Jiang Kai, wait up! Don't you want your points?"

Jiang Kai looked back and saw that Luo Shen had indeed run after him.

"Luo Shen…"

Luo Shen caught up in a few steps. When he reached Jiang Kai, his breathing was still steady. "Wristwatch."

Jiang Kai raised his wrist, and the other party transferred the points to him.

"200,000, plus the 80,000 you previously won… Jiang Kai, the usable contribution points for your Divine God Guild now rank in the top ten in all of Huaxia!" Luo Ping smiled at Jiang Kai. "I just happen to be heading to District 18 on business, let's go together."

"Luo Shen, you're not watching the rest of the matches?"

Luo Ping smiled slightly, "There are others there, it's fine if I don't watch."

"Let's go, I can chat with you on the way."

Jiang Kai looked at Luo Ping with surprise, feeling slightly curious, but didn't refuse.
