“Ha ha!”
“Ha ha!”
Kroos saw Edrig laugh, and followed with a big laugh.

Sea God City.
Inside the black hovercar, Su Ming, Ferion, and Jone sat in the back row.
They were heading to the Sea God Castle to et City Lord Alicia for the second round of negotiations.
Su Ming pondered for a mont and then lowered his voice to speak to Ferion and Jone.
“I just got so news yesterday.”
“What news?”
Ferion and Jone asked curiously.
“City Lord Alicia seems to have t with envoys from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country.”
Su Ming told the two.
“What are they talking about? Could it be a peace negotiation?”
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Ferion and Jone’s faces turned darker than charcoal.
They’re not fools; City Lord Alicia eting envoys from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country at this critical mont is likely about peace negotiations.
“Not sure, but I reckon today’s negotiations with City Lord Alicia won’t be very smooth.”
Su Ming gave them an early warning.
“We understand.”
Ferion and Jone took a deep breath.
…
Before long, the three arrived at Sea God Castle, and butler Bi Han had already been waiting for a while. She directly led the three into the City Lord’s office.
When they entered the office, they imdiately saw City Lord Alicia sitting behind the desk, with three chairs arranged in front.
“General Ferion, you’ve arrived, please have a seat.”
Alicia said with a smile.
“Thank you, Lord City Master.”
Su Ming and the other two bowed slightly and then took their seats.
“Regarding the military expenses from last ti, we had a eting internally at Rain Capital, and everyone unanimously thought your demand is truly too high. After all, our industries in Rain Capital were just plundered, the ships suffered heavy losses, and the personnel need compensation, leaving us with no money.”
Alicia said regrettably to the three.
Ferion coughed slightly and politely asked.
“City Lord Alicia, what do you think would be appropriate then?”
“50 billion, and in Federation Coin, not resources.”
Alicia directly gave her offer.
Hearing Alicia’s offer, Su Ming’s eyelid twitched. He keenly sensed that the figure provided by City Lord Alicia was likely not given at random and could well be the negotiation chip demanded by the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country.
Ferion and Jone also perceived this, but they still bravely responded.
“Sorry! City Lord Alicia, 50 billion is really too little.”
“Oh, then how much do you want?”
Alicia asked with interest while looking at Ferion and Jone.
“City Lord Alicia, I’m serious, the minimum would be 150 billion in resources.”
Ferion said through gritted teeth.
This was his maximum concession; anything less would not be possible for him to report back.
Upon hearing Ferion’s words, Alicia imdiately showed a radiant smile.
Su Ming and the other two looked at Alicia’s smile, feeling uneasy inside.
They aren’t naive enough to think City Lord Alicia is smiling out of happiness.
“Sorry, I can’t agree to that figure, and my subordinates won’t accept it either. I have to consider their feelings. You’d better go back and think it over; we will end the discussion here for today.”
Alicia directly opened her mouth to dismiss them.
Su Ming and Ferion exchanged a glance, and the three helplessly stood up.
“City Lord Alicia, then we bid farewell.”
“Take care.”
City Lord Alicia said with a smile.
Su Ming and the other two bowed and turned to leave.
…
Shortly after, Su Ming and the other two walked out of Sea God Castle.
Jone couldn’t help but speak.
“That figure that City Lord Alicia quoted is definitely not given randomly; she’s surely talked with the envoy team from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country.”
“Stop saying that, Alicia shouldn’t dare.”
Ferion replied irritably.
“Why wouldn’t she dare? A peace negotiation would dent the Federation’s face but benefit Rain Capital. They wouldn’t have to keep fighting, saving countless lives, and as long as they keep Tidal Star Sea, they can earn it back in no ti.”
“Then do you have a solution?”
“Old Fei, this won’t work; if they actually reach an agreent, not even ntioning the matter of enriching the enemy, how will we explain to the Council? Where will we get so many resources?”
Jone said sowhat frantically.
Ferion’s expression changed several tis, then he looked at the silent Su Ming and asked.
“Su Ming, what do you think?”
“What can I think? Given the current situation, providing 50 billion is indeed a lot, but it’s still far from our bottom line! If this matter remains unresolved, we might push Rain Capital to actually negotiate peace with the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country.”
Su Ming sighed and said.
“We know this too, the problem is that at least 150 billion is needed, there’s really no way around it.”
Ferion replied with a headache.
Su Ming just wanted to say sothing when.
Buzz~
His wristband suddenly vibrated, and a ssage popped up.
Su Ming looked down, opened the ssage, and showed a trace of surprise.
He imdiately dismissed the ssage and said to Ferion and Jone.
“You guys should head back first; I have a few matters to deal with.”
“Alright, we’ll head off then.”
Ferion and Jone said with a sigh.
“Go ahead! Don’t let this trouble you too much, things will work out eventually.”
Su Ming reassured the two.
“Okay, see you!”
Ferion and Jone directly left.
Su Ming watched their departing backs, then raised his wristband again to look at the ssage, revealing a pensive expression.
