312 Count Ottle

In the face of Count Ottle’s question, Su Ming first nodded before he said,

“Yes, are you the commander of this operation?”

Hearing this, Count Ottle chuckled. Then he sat up from his seat and slowly walked over.

Once he arrived before Su Ming, Count Ottle did not ask about his background as Su Ming had expected.

Instead, after staring at his face for a while, he suddenly laughed.

“My dear Prophet, if you’re still here, you can come to Count Ottle’s field and be my guest.”

When Su Ming heard Count Ottle’s words, even though he knew that the other party was trying to win him over, he still felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.

It was mainly because of the look in Count Ottle’s eyes that made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

That kind of greedy and longing eyes really made him very uncomfortable. If it was a woman, it would be fine, but he was a man! freewe bnovel .com

Su Ming took a deep breath and frowned slightly. He took a step back and said, “There’s no need. I have no interest in joining the Vast Flame Kingdom.”

“If you’ve already received the news, then you should know that I’m actively looking for an opportunity to meet you.”

Count Ottle did not react to Su Ming’s words immediately. Instead, he stared at Su Ming’s leg, which had taken the initiative to take a step back, and his gaze became slightly dazed.

After a while, he chuckled and looked away.

“Yes, I understand. You want to take the initiative to…or should I say, to meet with Duke Lincoln?”

“But I don’t understand. Why did you choose to come to us now after you chose to avoid us at the beginning?”

“With all due respect, your behavior before and after really doesn’t match. I’m very curious as to how you managed to produce such a change.”

Su Ming cast a glance at Count Ottle before him and lowered his gaze.

“It’s actually very simple. If you didn’t initiate such a large-scale search, we probably wouldn’t have revealed ourselves.”

“And now that I’ve taken the initiative to come and find you, I’m sure you’ve already guessed it.”

Count Ottle nodded, but then shook his head.

“I did guess a little, but I hope you can explain it to me.”

Su Ming was silent for a moment, then he said, “Our tribe is currently in a state of seclusion, and we don’t want to be disturbed.”

“Your large-scale search is making me a little uncomfortable.”

“I hope that from today on, you will not have any curiosity about us and our tribe, nor will you have any thoughts or actions to explore.”

“And we won’t say anything about you mining for resources behind the Vast Flame Kingdom’s back.”

When he heard Su Ming’s words, the faint smile on Count Ottle’s face instantly disappeared.

The expression on his face turned serious. He stared at Su Ming for a long while before he suddenly chuckled.

“Are you threatening me?”

Su Ming looked at Count Ottle, whose expression was constantly changing, but the expression on his face remained calm.

“I prefer to call this behavior negotiation.”

When he heard Su Ming’s words, Count Ottle fell silent for a while.

Then, he shook his head in a very small manner, but his intentions could still be clearly felt.

“I’m sorry, I can’t agree to your conditions.”

“Your tribe is like a bomb that could explode at any time to us.”

“If we let you do as you please, then Duke Lincoln will have another reason to worry about his insomnia every night.”

Once he finished speaking, Count Ottle’s gaze turned toward Su Ming.

He had originally expected Su Ming to immediately fall out with him after hearing his words, or to put forward some other conditions.

However, he was surprised.

Su Ming did not do that.

Instead, he squinted his eyes slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head again, looked in the direction of Count Ottle, and said something that made him extremely moved.

“So, Duke Lincoln is really planning to usurp the throne, right?”

The expression on Count Ottle’s face suddenly became extremely serious and cold, completely different from the elegant middle-aged man he had just been.

His eyes were terrifyingly cold as he glared in Su Ming’s direction. He was like a wolf in the night that had its eyes on its prey.

However, Su Ming’s reaction once again surprised him.

Facing Count Ottle’s cold face and terrible aura, he still kept a calm expression.

He even chuckled after looking at him for a while.

“This reaction…it seems like I was right.”

Count Ottle stared at Su Ming coldly for a while before he took a deep breath and said, “You don’t need to care about what the Duke wants to do.”

“These things have nothing to do with you. If you continue to investigate, you will only end up in an extremely miserable state. Do you understand?”

Su Ming looked at Count Ottle before him, but he did not have the self-awareness that a person who was threatened should have.

On the contrary, the expression on their faces became more relaxed.

“That’s why you should seriously consider the conditions I just proposed, and not reject me so easily.”

“What do you think?”

...

Su Ming looked at Count Ottle, who had a grave expression on his face. He seemed relaxed, as if he was chatting with a friend.

Count Ottle sneered. “Do you think you can threaten us with this?”

“How are you going to meet the king? How are you going to tell him about this? And why would he believe you?”

Su Ming shrugged his shoulders and looked at Count Ottle before him. He said nonchalantly, “You shouldn’t be asking me these questions. You should be asking Duke Lincoln directly. What do you think?”

Su Ming’s unafraid expression made Count Ottle unable to tell what he was thinking.

When Su Ming saw this, he continued to strike while the iron was hot.

“The kingdom of Vast Flame is very close to here, and I presume Duke Lincoln’s fief is not far from here.”

“I will wait for your reply at our original base.”

Once he finished speaking, Su Ming turned around and was about to walk out of the tent.

However, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by two guards.

It was interesting to say that when Su Ming was outside, he was stopped by the two guards and was not allowed to enter.

...

Now that he was inside, he was also blocked by the two guards.
