The atmosphere in the hall plunged to freezing point after Yue Susu's refusal.
Yue Susu's expression was solemn. "Senior Yi, if I weren't confident, I wouldn't be standing here today."
"Merely disrupting one round of competition for the dispatching merchant association would be meaningless. Don't you think?"
Yi Shang stared intently at Yue Susu. "You want to die with me?"
The other merchant associations listened in silence, not daring to act rashly. They were curious where Si Ma Merchant Association had gotten the nerve to threaten to take down the General Merchant Association with them.
Though Yi Shang was no longer a Sang Tian, he was still an Absolute Expert. Si Ma Merchant Association simply had no expert capable of opposing him.
Shan Xian could only protect Yue Susu. Even at the peak of his strength, he couldn't have been a match for Yi Shang.
Yue Susu shook her head. "If there were a choice, no one would want that. I hope you'll give Si Ma Merchant Association a chance, Senior Yi. The General Merchant Association already earns enough. There's no need to take complete control of all the merchant associations in the Spiritualized Universe."
Yi Shang sneered. "Young one, who do you think you are? You want to die with me? Do you even have the right?"
Yue Susu's gaze turned icy. "You don't believe me, Senior Yi?"
Yi Shang's eyes widened, murderous intent lurking in their depths. "What makes Si Ma Merchant Association think it has the right to take me down with it? I may be retired, but I was once a Sang Tian—second only to one and above millions. You think some Si Ma Merchant Association can threaten me? You're too naive. I'll give you credit for daring to face me, but you've wasted your chance.
