327 The Negotiation
When Su Ming saw his reaction, he first stared at him for a while, then shook his head slightly.
His expression made Su Ming give up on any thoughts of threatening him.
When he first met Count Ottle, he thought that he was a very powerful man.
In the end, it seemed that he was just bluffing.
!!
And his appearance was just a fake appearance that he had cultivated over a long period of time.
“I don’t want to do anything to you. I just want you to understand one thing.”
“You don’t have the ability to give any opinions on what I want to do now. All you can do is accept it. Do you understand?”
From the moment Su Ming was about to attack them, he had already decided on one thing.
He had to get rid of the Vast Flame Kingdom.
This Duke Lincoln was preparing to rebel, so he would be the best starting point.
In truth, if he ignored the process, Su Ming would occasionally sigh at how lucky he was.
When he wanted to get rid of the Vast Flame Kingdom, he had discovered Duke Lincoln’s intention to rebel.
From a God’s perspective, it was as if the heavens would throw a wrench into his plans no matter what he wanted to do.
However, Su Ming was only lucky this once.
At other times, his own development was also based on his own abilities and various memories from his previous life.
When Count Ottle heard Su Ming’s words, he could not help but tremble.
He took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, his eyes locked on to Su Ming’s.
“Although I don’t know what you’re going to do, I have to give you a piece of advice.”
“This advice is for your own good, and also for my own good.”
When Su Ming heard Count Ottle’s words, he first cast him a glance, then nodded slightly. “Alright, go ahead.”
Su Ming’s casual attitude made Count Ottle frown again.
However, very quickly, his brows relaxed again.
“Duke Lincoln places great importance on this resource mining operation. He even treats it as his most important undertaking at the moment.”
“If a small part of it goes missing, I might be able to help you hide it. This is also the first solution I wanted to propose to you.”
When Su Ming heard that, he nodded without giving a reply.
He did not say anything, but still looked at Count Ottle calmly.
When Count Ottle saw Su Ming’s calm expression, he was a little annoyed.
However, he still managed to suppress his inner emotions very well.
After taking a deep breath, Count Ottle continued, “However, if you insist on taking all the resources for yourself…”
“Then, I definitely can’t cover for you, nor can I take responsibility for it.”
“What I am sure of is that as long as this matter is exposed, death will be a certainty.”
After a slight pause, Count Ottle looked at Su Ming with an extremely sincere expression on his face.
“I’m explaining this to you now because I don’t want this to happen. At the same time, I imagine you wouldn’t want such a thing to happen too.”
Su Ming raised his eyebrows.
He knew what Count Ottle was going to say to him, but he did not interrupt.
After that, Count Ottle continued, “If this matter is really exposed, you will anger a huge kingdom.”
“Perhaps from your perspective, Duke Lincoln is only a Duke and can not completely influence the decisions of the kingdom.”
“But if that’s what you think, then you’re wrong.”
“Duke Lincoln is the King’s younger brother, and the King trusts him very much.”
“Either he will solve the problem himself, or the kingdom sends an army to deal with you when they find out…”
“Either way, you can’t afford to bear these two consequences!”
When Count Ottle said these words, his tone was extremely serious, and he did not seem to be joking at all.
The words he said also revealed a situation that Su Ming had no idea about.
This so-called Duke Lincoln was actually the younger brother of the King of the Vast Flame Kingdom?
And from the looks of it, the relationship between the two sides seemed to be extremely good!
When he thought of this, Su Ming could not help but narrow his eyes.
“Since they have such a good relationship and are brothers…”
“Then I’m curious about one thing. What motive does Duke Lincoln have for him to want to rebel?”
Hearing this, Count Ottle was slightly stunned.
Clearly, he did not expect Su Ming could still remain so calm after hearing his words. Instead, he had made Su Ming notice something else.
Thinking of this, Count Ottle’s expression changed slightly.
During this process, Su Ming kept his eyes on Count Ottle.
Under this long gaze, the pressure in Count Ottle’s heart gradually increased, and he finally could not hold it in anymore.
“Sir, these things are the Kingdom’s secrets. I don’t think there’s a need to explain them to you.”
...
“I think the first thing you should do now is to think about what I just told you.”
“If you really don’t take this matter to heart, I think you’ll regret it sooner or later.”
“Your army may be very powerful, but it is definitely no match for an entire kingdom. What do you think?”
When Su Ming heard those words, he suddenly lifted his head and cast a glance at Count Ottle with a smile.
“Are you trying to say that you’re threatening me?”
Su Ming’s voice was calm, but it still made Count Ottle nervous.
His pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
His brows were tightly furrowed together, and he fixed his gaze in Su Ming’s direction.
“I didn’t mean that. I’m just giving you some advice!” Count Ottle’s voice was filled with unconcealable nervousness.
Su Ming cast him a glance before he averted his gaze.
There was a brief silence between the two of them. Count Ottle then spoke again. “I hope you can seriously consider what I’m saying. Don’t do something that you’ll regret because of a moment of impulse.”
...
When Su Ming heard his words, he first cast him a glance, then suddenly chuckled and said, “Do you want to be a guest in my tribe?”
When Count Ottle heard the question, he was stunned.
