I'm Serious

The final outcome of the negotiations was a settlement of two billion USD.

In cases of insufficient cash, Mysterious Equipment, items, or Research Notes can be used as compensation, and this is the compensation method desired by the Wallfacers.

Two billion USD...

That sounds like a lot.

But that depends on who it's aimed at.

The CIA American Federation pay bounty hunters up to a million USD for a single mission.

Similar activities are happening all over the world.

Not to mention that the compensation costs were shared by the six parties.

On the way back,

Big Sis Feng Li smiled and said, "In this case, the American Federation will provide USD 1 billion in budgetary aid, and these five companies will share the USD 1 billion in compensation. Although it will be painful for them, it won't be too much of a burden for them."

Li Yao was somewhat disappointed after hearing this.

He also hoped to obtain some extraordinary items or knowledge from those five forces.

Even if you might not need it yourself, it can still be sent to your best friend for reference as a different aspect of the psionic development system.

Li Yao remembered that if he could create spells, he could exchange Points at the Magic Association! Seeing this, Feng Li comforted him, "You did very well. The Staff Department's asking price of 1.5 billion USD was actually an overpayment. Our reasonable price was probably around 1 billion USD. I didn't expect you to be able to double that!"

Speaking of which,

Big Sis Feng Li Yao's performance at the negotiating table, Sister Feng Li, with a stern face, spoke threateningly, "How much compensation should be paid, and in what way, is it up to you?"

certainly,

More than one trillion is already an exaggeration.

Led by Si Ensi, the spokespeople launched a frantic price-cutting spree, ultimately forcing Li Yao to stick to a price of two billion USD! Big Sis Feng Li, mimicking Li Yao's earlier demeanor, said with a gloomy expression:

"I don't want to argue with you anymore. My time is very valuable!"

"If you cannot agree, then we will declare war on you on the grounds of a breakdown in negotiations."

"I will do everything in my power to strike you down, eliminate you, and annihilate you! To defend the honor of Maeve Manufacturing. Maeve Manufacturing needs such an opportunity!"

After saying that, Big Sis Feng Li immediately switched her watch back and said with a grin, "To be honest, you really fooled me back then!"

Li Yao smiled, pursing his lips. "I'm not kidding them, I'm serious."

Big Sis Feng Li froze instantly! Was this not a bluff?!

"If they really don't agree, are you really going to declare war on them?" She asked Li Yao, voicing her inner doubts.

Li Yao smiled and replied, "Mm."

Feng Li: "..."

She gathered her thoughts and asked, "You know what this means, right? Even if we help you, we can't mobilize most of our forces. This will directly turn into a confrontation between us American Faction!"

It might even give the American Faction an excuse to attack the Wallfacers! Li Yao and Feng Li strolled in the Mustard Seed Garden and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems I don't need to rely on your strength."

Feng Li: "?!"

She froze on the spot when she heard Li Yao's answer.

Li Yao wasn't actually bragging.

The only power he publicly displays seems to be that Maeve Manufacturing; to outsiders, he is merely a minor leader attached to the Wallfacer Organization.

But in reality,

He possesses power far beyond what others can imagine.

In the warp space he now controls, there is the Queen Maeve's Main Tower. In addition, the Ark Pyramid that Lin Xiaowei teleported to contains imprisoned Magic Apprentice and exiled spellcasters.

In addition, they acquired a military manufacturing production line from the Wallfacers.

He is fully capable of creating an army in the warp equipped with Mandela Flexible Steel Rattan Armor!

There's not even a shortage of manpower!

Bring Maeve!

That's equivalent to bringing an entire army!

These "soldiers" in the army, enhanced by their equipment, can completely overwhelm high-level second-tier, or even third-tier, superhumans! Forming an army group would be even more terrifying.

As for high-end combat capabilities...

Maeve's complete form must be very powerful; she should be able to handle a fourth-tier opponent without any problem, but a fifth-tier opponent might be a little difficult.

Li Yao has now acquired a specialization! In terms of overall combat power, he can handle fourth-tier opponents without any problem, and can even go toe-to-toe with a wave of fifth-tier opponents.

Sauron is more powerful.

Through this period of nourishment, it has quietly entered the Fourth Ring sequence. Coupled with its innate authority and abilities, it has no problem dealing with fifth-tier aliens on the Earth side.

It seems that Li Yao's side is at a disadvantage in terms of high-level combat power.

Don't forget! He can provide support across dimensions with a single expression!

I haven't even used the Cross-Plane Strike Anchoring Beacon I got from my best friend in the Sierra Leone space last time!

Not to mention that he also had many summoned creatures teleported over by his best friend.

Li Yao also entrusted those things to Maeve for research.

However, those Chimera Creatures and otherworldly beings are obviously very complex, and it would be difficult for Maeve to analyze them with her current power.

Therefore, one should never assess a mage's combat strength based on their current level of cultivation.

Instead, we should start with his background and resources.

otherwise,

The consequences of misjudging are very serious.

As for the strength of the five forces that came this time, Li Yao had a rough understanding from Feng Li. Such organizations typically had one Tier 6 expert in charge, or several half-step Tier 6 or near- Tier 6 experts. They also had no more than ten fifth-tier powerhouses, several fourth-tier masters, and no more than a hundred third-tier elites.

The rest are mostly noobs.

This is the typical power structure of a medium-sized supernatural organization.

Even the more elite type.

Dharma Appearance those in China—the personnel composition of just the Jiang-Zhe-Hu Area, and Shanghai region seems to be several times stronger than the strength of those organizations! Take the provincial capital for example! Feng Li a fifth-level expert, while Old He and Xiao Zhao are both senior experts among the fourth-level experts.

The remaining two, Wang Meiling and Zhao Shuisheng, are also experts in their own right at the third level.

This is just the strength of the branch offices, not to mention the officials, guards, and wandering knights scattered throughout the Prefecture-Level City, City-Level County, and Prefecture-Level County! It seems that the supernatural power of the Chinese side is simply terrifying!

However, considering such a vast area, the so-called enormous power of superhumans suddenly became insufficient.

Big Sis Feng Li, regaining her composure, quickly warned, "Little brother, don't get cocky! The waters on Earth's supernatural side are still quite deep. Even if you seem powerful on the surface, you can't just start a fight without warning. There might be some terrifying and mysterious beings lurking behind certain ancient organizations!"

Leaving aside the various Evil Societies and Secret Organizations that incite believers to be active around the world, even some whitewashed forces may be hiding some ancient and terrifying entities behind them!

If those guys were angered and awakened those ancient beings, it would be a disaster for the current Esper World! After Big Sis Feng Li finished speaking...

Li Yao suddenly asked curiously, "Speaking of which, although I now know the general structure of the Esper World, I don't quite understand the composition of the threatening forces. Can you reveal this information?"
