Chapter 620: Chapter 281: Ah??

Angel, the deputy leader of the Destruction Team under the Spirit Management Committee in the Spiritual Ability City, was presently gazing at the Fort 76 airfield that was drawing nearer, her expression troubled.

She wasn’t afraid of entering Fort 76, this den of dragons and tigers;

This time, she was here on the orders of the Six Elders, with an official diplomatic letter. She was also invited by a certain commander of the Space Fortress to discuss issues regarding the Pillar Level Blade Beast.

With the backing of the Space Fortress, Fu Jian’s people would not, and could not, lay a finger on her.

What troubled Angel were the demands of the Six Elders.

They wanted a public apology from the Black Storm;

They also wanted Fu Jian to promise not to launch any attacks on the Spiritual Ability City during subsequent cooperation;

On the basis of meeting these two conditions, it would be ideal to obtain the manufacturing process of the Demon-breaking Dagger and the Eight Diagrams Plate;

Then, with reluctant magnanimity, the Spiritual Ability City could lend assistance to the D2 and D5 Combined Combat Zones when the Sixth Pillar awakens.

Angel felt that if she expressed these conditions, Fu Jian’s people might just gather their Destruction Cannons and turn her into a beehive.

Li Weiqi, that handsome young man, merely a B-level Spiritual Ability User and currently a leader of a small group within the Destruction Team, stood by Angel’s side.

He comforted her, saying: "Deputy Leader, I think there’s no need for us to be too pessimistic this time."

"We must be pessimistic," Angel sighed, "The last failure already made Elder Tai doubt my ability to handle matters, and this time again, there’s bound to be no result. Elder Tai will surely be more disappointed in me."

Li Weiqi glanced backward with the corner of his eye to ensure no one was observing them, then stepped forward to stand beside Angel, extending his right hand to rest on Angel’s waist.

If one looked closely, this middle-aged deputy leader wore subtle makeup, her skin looking much better than before, exuding a gentle and alluring mature charm.

She didn’t reject Li Weiqi’s hand; instead, she leaned toward him gently.

"Deputy Leader, perhaps we can adopt a different approach."

Li Weiqi spoke softly:

"Currently, Fu Jian’s faction is under immense pressure; they cannot back down from facing the Pillar Level Blade Beast. If the Pillar Blade Beast is destined to awaken, there would definitely be enormous casualties on the D2 side.

"Before I came, I checked some records, footage from over eighty years ago of the Pillar Level Blade Beast destroying a super-large city. I’m basically certain that they must trade space for time, holding on until the Pillar Blade Beast couldn’t resist the Sleeping Circuit and falls asleep again.

"So, if we present ourselves with a softer attitude when facing them, state that we’re only acting under orders, propose to set aside disputes and face the enemy together, they shouldn’t make things difficult for us.

"We must be as humble as possible and not use our usual demeanor."

Angel slightly furrowed her brow and said in a low voice, "You... don’t move your hand around, there are people watching... but all the details of our negotiation will be recorded..."

"I’ll handle that."

Li Weiqi whispered:

"If you can’t decide, just give me a look. I’m merely a B-level Spiritual Ability User—losing my nerve in such situations and conceding to them is only human nature.

"You can just scold me a bit afterwards."

Angel’s narrow phoenix eyes nearly squinted into slivers.

She chuckled lightly, whispering into Li Weiqi’s ear, "Then I really should punish you properly."

"Ahem!"

A sound of a dry cough came from behind.

The two immediately stepped half a pace apart, and Angel looked afar, adjusting her demeanor, while Li Weiqi turned to salute the approaching half-human mecha.

This aged half-human mecha, with a head of white hair and a stern face, was covered in silvery-white alloy, leaving only a few organs on the head intact, with over ninety percent reconstruction.

He leaned on a civilized cane with his left hand, a dark-colored cape draped over his shoulder, and the wide-brimmed military hat on his head bore the stellar emblem of the Space Fortress army.

"Minister Zheng!" Li Weiqi greeted warmly.

"Hmm," Zheng Tianyuan nodded slowly, harboring no malice towards the Spiritual Ability Users entangled in a clandestine affair, he calmly said, "We are about to land. The commander at Fort 76, Dongfang Zhenghong, has received orders from General Fu Jian that they will not initiate any offense against us."

"That’s great," Li Weiqi sincerely remarked, "I hope our negotiation goes well this time. The human world is riddled with scars, and we must unite to counter the threat of the Pillar Blade Beast."

Angel had already adjusted her demeanor, turned to face Zheng Tianyuan, and kindly said, "We’ll have to rely heavily on Minister Zheng to mediate."

"Ah," Zheng Tianyuan sighed softly, "you both have nearly gone at each other’s throats. Whether mediation succeeds, I dare not boast... With a formidable enemy before us, hope surely exists, but it also depends on what attitude and sincerity the Spiritual Ability City can offer. General Fu Jian hasn’t pressed that button yet because he values the proactive role of the Spiritual Ability Users on a broad battlefield."

Angel nodded slowly, "I’ll do my best on my side..."

"Deputy Leader," Li Weiqi chuckled, "Didn’t you instruct me earlier? As the first deputy leader of the Destruction Team, you mustn’t bow easily, the Six Elders will blame you, but I, just a minor figure, should indeed speak nice words if needed."

Angel shrugged noncommittally.

Zheng Tianyuan examined Li Weiqi a few times and spoke softly, "You’re quite clever and articulate, young man, but sometimes, don’t stand out too much."

"I understand, don’t worry."

"Sigh."
