"For your master, and for these two young masters, go back and persuade him well! We are still very sincere." Pei Yan leaned forward, supporting himself on the armrest, and said earnestly to Depeo, who was tilting his head and looking at him.
"What do you want?" Depeo straightened his body with effort. Pei Yan gestured for Zheng Jia Ru to release him. After gaining some freedom, Depeo rubbed his nearly broken shoulder and questioned. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"What we want is very fair!" Pei Yan spread his hands, saying openly, "A life for a life! Cai Peishen, Radu! The lives of your master’s two sons in exchange for my friend Ye Jiumu and Du Guangyuan’s son’s lives. As for the other grievances between us, we’ll settle them after the hostage exchange."
"Cough, cough, cough, uh~! It seems very fair! How can I be sure you will keep your promise? Mr. Pei Yan, you just showed me how you handle things." After coughing up blood from internal injuries, Depeo, with a sneer, looked at Wu Xiuping, who had lost an arm, and said.
"Don’t talk nonsense with me, both sides have leverage over the other. Your master won’t be as foolish as his two sons, right? Likewise, I don’t expect him to treat me like a fool! I repeat, we are very sincere about this deal. You can go back and convey my intention to Delacuri, then send someone to negotiate a mutually acceptable time and place for this exchange!"
Pei Yan’s eyes flashed ruthlessly as he spoke, "I’ve already threatened him once; saying it three times makes it mundane! Let me clarify, we are exchanging two hostages! If my friend Ye Jiumu is fine after the Blood Curse is lifted, we will give you one hostage! And for Du Guangyuan’s child, if he returns unscathed, I will return one intact son to him. But if there is any damage to that child’s body, I guarantee one of the two brothers will lose the same part! And it will be irreplaceable by any means, believe me, I have that capability."
"Pei Yan! How dare you equate me with the child of a lowly Blood Servant!" Radu, who was gradually regaining consciousness on the ground, angrily roared upon hearing this. Regardless of the outcome of the deal, he would become the biggest laughingstock among the Blood Race because of this.
"Ah~!" Pei Yan straightened up, glanced at Radu with impatience, sighed, and waved his hand. Xia Yu, standing beside him, kicked Radu in the stomach, causing him to convulse and faint again.
"Stop!" Depeo shouted, struggling to stand up, but was pressed back down by Zheng Jia Ru behind him. Unable to break free, he shouted loudly, "Pei Yan! Since it’s a deal, the terms must be reciprocal! You want us to guarantee the child’s safety, and you must also guarantee our people’s safety! Radu has already had an ear cut off by you!"
"No need to get excited! With his ability, as long as I release him, the ear will quickly regenerate, but the child is different! He’s too young and doesn’t have that regenerative ability. Rest assured, on the day of the transaction, as long as you keep your word, I will return two lively sons to your master." Pei Yan reassured, patting Depeo’s shoulder.
"I didn’t expect you to care so much about the enemy’s child, it’s quite surprising to me! If I remember correctly, Du Guangyuan was also your enemy before, right? In some way, he is the indirect culprit of your companion’s death, wasn’t it he who set the trap that led you into this battle?"
Facing Depeo’s questioning, Pei Yan nodded in acknowledgment, "You’re right, I don’t want to talk about the principle of not implicating children because anyone who provokes me is within my range of revenge, and these people may be targeted. But Du Guangyuan is different! Aside from his offspring, he is also a member of the Keystone Dimension and falls under the jurisdiction of our Investigation Department. More importantly, he has shown the value of his life." Saying this, Pei Yan pointed at Depeo, then at Radu, smiling, "The outcome is right in front of you, right? It also gave us enough surprises, and within the allowable range, we strive to meet his reasonable demands! This is about being fair and clear! See! I told you I am a reasonable person, didn’t I?"
"Alright! I tentatively believe your sincerity to trade! Are you letting me go back now? In that case, please make it quick, based on what you did to his son in front of that gentleman, I can’t guarantee he won’t do something to that child in his rage. For the success of the transaction, you better let me go back to stop such a tragedy as soon as possible!" Depeo, knowing that if he could successfully exchange the two young masters, it would be best, proactively pleaded to avoid complications.
"You can go!" Pei Yan waved his hand, and the multiple restrictive circles binding Depeo, along with the silver needles, were all withdrawn. After this, Pei Yan instructed Zheng Jia Ru, "Escort him out and tell the Immortal Palace Disciple outside that I released him, so they should not obstruct him. Escort him to the Space Tunnel and watch him leave, then return."
"Understood! Old man, let’s go! You’re our special envoy now, I’ll personally escort you!" Zheng Jia Ru nodded in agreement, pushing Depeo’s shoulder to urge him on.
As the figures of Zheng Jia Ru and Depeo disappeared beyond the hallway, other investigators from the Investigation Department also began to push the captured Blood Marauder members out. Meanwhile, Pei Yan, sitting in the chair, gradually grew thinner and started coughing up a continuous stream of blood.
"Come out." As Pei Yan began to circulate source energy to treat the internal injuries from the battle with the three Blood Marauder Children of Origin, he suddenly spoke with his eyes closed.
From the shadows, a figure emerged and came to the center of the courtyard, kneeling in front of Pei Yan. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Did you hear the conversation just now?"
Thud! Thud! Thud! There was no response, only the sound of continuous kowtowing. The person wasn’t anyone else but Du Guangyuan, who had been hiding his bloodline aura and observing the battle since it started. His presence was to ensure that if the Blood Race people played any tricks, he could quickly think of countermeasures. When the battle was going smoothly, he dared not show himself, because as soon as the Blood Race saw him, they would undoubtedly go mad trying to kill him.
"As I said, our Investigation Department is always fair with rewards and punishments, you continue to do what you need to do! We will do our utmost to rescue your son. Although you will never be able to leave the Secret Prison in this lifetime, as long as you are alive, there’s always a chance to meet him."
