Negotiations by Proxy

If we disregard the social norms of the older generation, the world today is almost at its most peaceful stage.

The younger generation interacts with each other based more on mutual benefit than with the older generation relying on force and reason.

At least that's how Montes Arthur is perceived at the moment.

He stood at a distance and shouted to Ren Yisheng, clearly wanting to stop the conflict.

"Are they even willing to trade away extracts from ferocious elephants?" Badun asked.

"The transaction is already in progress," Montes Arthur said with a hint of excitement.

"That's enough!"

The giant ape beast was good, but it was nothing compared to Montes Arthur's essential needs.

Badun suddenly looked older.

Before the Alliance Island Conference, the Aomeijia Alliance was almost at the top of all nations, and the development of the world's Gene Sequence followed a competitive pattern of suppression and resistance.

But ever since the Scarlet Alliance State overturned the table, Badun has felt himself falling behind the times.

He looked at Ren Yisheng, who was two hundred meters away, and couldn't understand how Ren Yisheng had appeared out of nowhere and how he had reached the Eighth Sequence.

Ren Yisheng appeared out of nowhere, but Ren Yisheng control was not superficial; the other party had truly reached the level defined in the sequence.

Badun had considered that many people would enter the Eighth Sequence, such as Zhou Xin, Changkong Luo, Chimon Haig, whose life he had spared, and Grenas.

But Badun never imagined that the unknown Ren Yisheng would emerge.

This was someone he had never noticed before, and he only learned of this name at the last Alliance Island meeting.

Things in this world are so inexplicable that Badun finds them hard to accept.

Montes Arthur then acted as a mediator, using this opportunity to back down.

There are only a handful of top-tier Sequence Holder. If Montessler, Arthur, Clarke, and others find it difficult to advance, Badun's only option is to cooperate with external entities.

He currently has a conflict with Ren Yisheng, but they may have to work together in the future.

"This giant ape beast is already on its last legs. Since it's been delivered to the Scarlet Alliance State for so long, its value should be minimal. Why not let our Aomeijia Alliance seize it?" Montes Arthur politely suggested. "Professor Ren, if you agree, you can get 30% of what's taken, which is far better than getting nothing!"

"Give me 300 meters, and we'll still be friends," Ren Yisheng said politely. "You can also exchange it for the extract of the ferocious beast you desire!"

"Oh, you don't seem to care about the remaining value of the beast's death," Montes Arthur asked suspiciously. "Is your reason for intercepting the hunt simply to challenge Lord Badun's authority?"

"You're not entirely wrong in thinking that way!"

Ren Yisheng's gaze swept towards Badun.

Even those in the Eighth Sequence are human. Badun's truck was slow, and the drive would take a long time. The battle with the giant ape and the process of getting him onto the truck and imprisoning him were mentally and physically exhausting, leaving Badun extremely poor condition.

Although somewhat surprised to encounter Badun in Qin Meng, Ren Yisheng's attitude after the encounter was very tough.

This is not just due to the Qin Meng rules, but because Ren Yisheng understands these older generations all too well.

As their strength increases, more high- Sequence Holder will travel to the core of Qin Meng, increasing the likelihood of them encountering each other.

If he doesn't take a firm stance to the point that these people give in, he'll face a lot of trouble for no reason in the future.

Badun was slightly outmatched this time, but if he tries a few more times, he'll have a chance to see through Ren Yisheng 'Badun true strength and weaknesses.

Ren Yisheng at this moment was to suppress Badun so that he would not dare to harbor any ill intentions in the future.

He had this "I'm going to challenge authority" attitude that left Montes Arthur helpless.

"Lord Arthur, compared to yourselves gaining nothing, why don't you choose to take thirty percent of the spoils?"

Montess Badun spoke on behalf of Ren Yisheng, and Zhang Xuezhou also spoke up to assist Ren Yisheng after he had already sealed his fate, so as not to leave Ren Yisheng with no way to back down.

"Once we travel three hundred meters into the sea and escape Qinmeng, this ferocious beast will no longer be subject to Qinmeng's rules," Zhang Xuezhou said. "You don't want to fight, and you don't want to let us leave. It's not good to keep the ship's first mate waiting here!"

"Giving away 30% makes me feel a little heartache," Ren Yisheng casually remarked.

Zhang Xuezhou offered a way out, and Ren Yisheng quickly spoke up, welding the division to the edge.

Montes Arthur, sitting opposite him, was about to speak, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

If this were the ferocious beast that Ren Yisheng and his group hunted, that would be fine; the Aomeijia Alliance to cooperate by providing a laboratory and taking a 30% cut of the profits without losing out. The problem is that Ren Yisheng and his group were the interceptors, while Badun was the one who actually carried out the hunt.

It would be too unfair to put in so much effort and resources for only 30% of the harvest. No one would swallow their pride and do such a thing unless they were guaranteed to get the beast extract.

"Are you Professor Zhang?" Montes Arthur finally asked after a long pause.

"Long time no see, Lord Arthur!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, acknowledging his identity, and removed the face mask that was covering his face for wind and sand protection.

To be fair, Zhang Xuezhou thought Montes Arthur's suggestion wasn't bad. The only problem was that the beast in the truck was still alive, and they weren't in a hurry to use the laboratory of the Aomeijia Alliance.

However, Zhang Xuezhou and his group did not mind cooperating with the Aomeijia Alliance, since they had not initially decided to hunt ferocious beasts when they came to Qinmeng, and there were serious deficiencies in their team and logistics.

Consequently, there will inevitably be disputes regarding the share of ferocious beasts between them.

It's been a while since I last saw you, it's so nice to see you again!

Montes Arthur was extremely polite and bowed again, treating Zhang Xuezhou no less well than he had treated Ren Yisheng.

"And who exactly is this Professor Zhang?"

Montes Badun asked in a low voice, which made Montes Arthur smile wryly; he felt that two troublesome people had come to the other end.

One was Ren Yisheng couldn't afford to offend, while the other was someone Zhang Xuezhou didn't want to offend.

Ren Yisheng's high sequence left people speechless, while Zhang Xuezhou was a key member who had fought against the Fire Meteor Creatures, possessing experience that ordinary people did not have, and was even witnessed by Montes Arthur killing the Fire Meteor Creatures.

As the most outstanding young generation of the Scarlet Alliance State, Zhang Xuezhou's strength in the sequence can be ignored, but Montes Arthur will not ignore his abilities.

Regardless of Zhang Xuezhou's past in the Scarlet Alliance State, even in the current conflict between Ren Yisheng and Badun, Zhang Xuezhou is still able to live a good life, which is what makes Zhang Xuezhou unique.

"How about a 50/50 split?" Montes Arthur suggested. "We only need 50% to take over all the remaining tasks. You don't need to be responsible for anything afterward. You just need to take the finished beast!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Badun grumbled in dissatisfaction, but he did not stop Montes Arthur's negotiations.

Clearly, in Montes Arthur's eyes, Ren Yisheng deserves a 30% discount, while this Professor Zhang who suddenly appeared deserves a 20% discount, even if the giant ape was hunted by Montes Badun.

Badun felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the changes in the international political arena during his six months in Qinmeng.
