The Yu Family.
The butler had not even managed to tell Yu Qingliu about the conditions proposed by Dark Fort.
Returning after making the call, he saw Ji Ziyin ing down the stairs and talking to Yu Qingliu.
"My friend said that he still needs some time." Ji Ziyin pursed her lips and said apologetically, "… He promised to find out the news as soon as possible and tell me."
Yu Qingliu didn't have a better idea at the moment. "Okay, sorry to trouble you."
Ji Ziyin was very perceptive. "This is what I should do."
Noticing the serious atmosphere, she asked tentatively, "Elder Yu, aren't you going to… Are things not going smoothly tonight?"
Ji Ziyin had a friend from the FBI. The Yu family could not spare any manpower to find Yu Xinlan's whereabouts, so Yu Qingliu could only ask her for help.
Since he had asked for her help, Yu Qingliu had no choice but to answer her question. "There's a problem."
Ji Ziyin actually wanted to ask him what was wrong, but she sharply noticed that the old man's eyes were red.
She was smart enough not to ask further.
Coincidentally, Yu Qingliu saw the butler enter.
He walked towards the sofa and waved at the old butler, signaling him to approach. "What did Dark Fort say?"
The butler walked over quietly and saw Yu Qingliu take out a bottle of vodka from the wine cabinet. He unplugged the cork and poured himself a glass.
Yu Qingliu picked up the glass and sat back on the sofa. He raised his eyes and looked at the butler, who was standing there silently.
He frowned. "I asked you a question. Why are you looking at me?"
The butler glanced in Ji Ziyin's direction with a troubled expression. "Uh, Elder Yu…"
Ji Ziyin was sensible. She immediately turned to Yu Qingliu and said, "Elder Yu, I'll go upstairs first. I'll e down and tell you when my friend replies."
"No need." Yu Qingliu stopped her. "The Yu family will need you to speak up for us at the Empress's side in the future. We're all family. It's fine for you to stay and listen."
Ji Ziyin herself also wanted to know if Qiao Nian was dead.
Hence, she stayed behind in embarrassment.
Yu Qingliu ignored her. He said to the old butler, "There are no outsiders here. Tell me."
The butler lowered his head. "Other than agreeing for three times the money, Dark Fort also raised a condition."
Yu Qingliu had a bad feeling.
"They want the Yu family's goods in Continent F."
Yu Qingliu gripped the glass tightly. "How much do they want?"
The butler lowered his head. "… Dark Fort wants all our goods in Continent F!"
The living room was dead silent.
Yu Qingliu almost fainted. How could he still be in the mood to drink? He almost smashed the glass on the floor.
However, the butler hesitantly continued, "Dark Fort also said that this is their only condition. Will the Yu family agree or not? Let's consider it carefully…"
"Heh, they're taking advantage of the situation!" The veins around Yu Qingliu's temples bulged. He stood up angrily and growled.
The old butler did not answer him.
He only lowered his head.
… That's right. Everyone present knew that Dark Fort was taking advantage of the situation, but the Yu family could only swallow their anger and give away their assets in Continent F.
Yu Qingliu was well aware of this.
He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. Exhaling, he said, "…Contact them and say that I agree."
