Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 644 - 641: Negotiation Breakdown!

Chapter 644: Chapter 641: Negotiation Breakdown!

In fact, as the host of this place, Duke Aisi had already arrived at the Royal Theater.

He learned from the Blizzard Goddess and the information he obtained that Immortal Master Li was unforgiving and vengeful. Worried that a rash appearance might spark unnecessary conflicts, he first entrusted his good friend Duke Boge to make arrangements on his behalf.

And he has been hiding and observing in the shadows, so that he could take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.

Now that Li Chen has taken the initiative to mention him, it would seem somewhat arrogant not to show up. So, he steadied his mind and proactively stepped forward to greet them.

"Duke Boge, Immortal Master Li, I am late, I am truly sorry, sorry!"

Seeing Duke Aisi approach, some aristocrats and tycoon directors also came up to shake hands with him.

The Aisi family is the most powerful aristocratic family in Great Britain, second only to the Royal Family. Even these directors of tycoons who control hundreds of billions of funds rarely have such an encounter. Therefore, when he appeared, no one dared to neglect him.

Duke Aisi shook hands with these people one by one, and when it was Li Chen’s turn, Li Chen had no intention of shaking hands, leaving him quite embarrassed.

Li Chen changed from his harmless demeanor and aggressively questioned.

"Duke Aisi, my people have been captured by you, haven’t they?"

Duke Aisi forced a smile, struggling to keep himself calm under Li Chen’s piercing gaze.

"Immortal Master Li, it is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, Miss Mei is safe and unharmed!"

While saying this, he took out another Black Gold Card from the Swiss Bank and handed it over.

"This is 10 billion US Dollars, including the previous 10 billion US Dollars, as an apology from our Aisi family!"

Hearing Duke Aisi’s gesture of 20 billion US Dollars right off the bat, everyone present was shocked, their eyes almost popping out.

Although they were all nobles and tycoons nominally in control of hundreds of billions of funds, that was all just numbers in the stock market. Let alone pulling out 20 billion US Dollars all at once, even 2 billion US Dollars would be hard for most people present to produce in a short period of time.

The Aisi family, as an ancient noble family second only to the Royal Family in Great Britain, truly demonstrated their enormous wealth. Several heiresses and ladies looked at Duke Aisi as if he were an angel, their eyes filled with fervent admiration.

However, many were also very curious as to where Duke Aisi had offended Immortal Master Li to the extent that he had to make a gesture of 20 billion US Dollars in apology?

Li Chen glanced at the Swiss Bank’s Black Gold Card that Duke Aisi handed over, feeling completely unmoved, with no intention of accepting it.

"Duke Aisi, do you really think that this misunderstanding, with a mere 20 billion US Dollars, can be resolved?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, all the nobles and celebrities present felt as if their teeth hurt.

A mere 20 billion US Dollars?

Since when did the US Dollar become so worthless?

Duke Aisi’s mouth twitched a bit, but suppressing the anger in his heart, he demanded, "Immortal Master Li, then what do you suggest we do?"

Li Chen thought for a moment, then raised three fingers and said, "Three demands!"

"First, I want you to return my people, safe and unharmed!"

"That is, of course!"

In fact, even if Li Chen didn’t mention it, Duke Aisi had already considered this. Hence, before Li Chen finished speaking, he agreed.

"And the second?"

"Second, your Aisi family must personally apologize on the front page headlines of major international newspapers!"

Hearing Li Chen’s unreasonable demand, the celebrities and nobles of Europe found it hard to accept.

Who were the Aisi family?

In Great Britain, they are second only to the Royal Family. They control dozens of listed companies, with accumulated funds of trillions. Even in all of Europe, and in fact, globally, they have a decisive status.

To have them apologize in the mainstream media around the world would be a humiliating slap in the face.

If it were up to Duke Aisi’s character, he certainly would not agree. However, he thought back to his ancestors’ warning before he came here – at this sensitive time, at all costs, do not escalate the conflict with Immortal Master Li. Clenching his teeth, he agreed.

Now that Immortal Master Li has provoked the United States, as long as they can bear this humiliation, the United States and Immortal Master Li are bound to clash.

When two tigers fight, one is bound to get injured.

When that time comes, it will be a great opportunity for the Dark World to rise again, and perhaps even help magnificent Europa regain the position of global hegemony in one fell swoop.

Duke Aisi clutched his aching jaw, struggling to contain his anger.

"Immortal Master Li, we’ve agreed to your first two demands, so what about the third one?"

Li Chen gave him a cold smile in response, "Hand over the former Overseas Hongmen tycoon, Blizzard Goddess, as well as the 100 billion US Dollars they have stashed in Swiss Bank!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Duke Aisi nearly screamed out loud, immediately refusing outright.

"That’s impossible, Immortal Master Li, don’t push us too far. I can offer you another 10 billion US Dollars, which is our final bottom line. I hope you know when to stop, don’t be too greedy!"

Li Chen shook his head indifferently, saying: "I will not back down from my three demands. You may choose not to agree, but you’ll bear the consequences!"

Duke Aisi, seeing that Li Chen gave no ground, burst into a furious rage without any concern for so-called gentlemanly conduct.

"Immortal Master Li, is this a threat? Although you are the foremost figure of the Eastern World, you must understand, this is the Western World, this is Europe, not Huaxia, you can’t behave recklessly here!"

"Then there’s nothing to talk about!"

With that, Li Chen stopped paying attention to the hysterical Duke Aisi and, in full view of everyone, walked over to Lin Xuanfei.

"It’s no longer safe for you to stay here, come with me."

Although Lin Xuanfei did not quite understand what Li Chen was up to, she has always followed his lead without question.

As long as Li Chen smiled at her, she felt that the world was full of wonder and beauty.

Duke Aisi, seeing that Li Chen was leaving without agreement, was so infuriated that he began to roar right from his place on the stage.

"Immortal Master Li, do you realize what you’re doing? This is not only a provocation against the Aisi family but also against the Dark World, even the whole of Europa!"

Li Chen, unfazed, simply smiled without turning his head and took Lin Xuanfei’s hand. Under the stunned gaze of the audience, they walked out of the hall.

Seeing Li Chen take her hand, Lin Xuanfei’s heart fluttered like a beating deer.

After stepping out of the theater, a cold breeze blew over, sobering her slightly.

"Brother Li Chen, where are we going now?"

Li Chen paused to think for a moment, then said: "Let’s head to the UK Embassy, it’s the only safe place now!"

Without waiting for Lin Xuanfei to respond, he took out his phone and dialed Vermilion Bird’s secret number. He briefly recounted the situation and asked her to get in touch with the UK Embassy.

The way Li Chen spoke was calm and relaxed, but to Vermilion Bird’s ears, it was as if thunder had struck.

"Li Chen, this matter is of great importance, don’t act recklessly!"

However, in the face of her earnest advice, Li Chen merely responded coldly.

"Vermilion Bird, I am still your superior officer. This is an order, not a discussion, I hope you comply!"

After finishing, Li Chen hung up before Vermilion Bird could say another word, leaving her stamping her feet in frustration as she hurried to report to Li Lingyun.

After hearing Vermilion Bird’s report, Li Lingyun scolded her with a stern face: "Isn’t it the duty of the embassy to protect the safety of our citizens? There’s no need to report to me, just carry out the order!"

Vermilion Bird, seeing that her General missed the point, spoke urgently, "General, what Li Chen is doing is tantamount to declaring war on the entire Dark World, you must stop him!"

Li Lingtian couldn’t help but laugh: "Vermilion Bird, that young man is audacious; he even dared to sink the aircraft carrier of the United States, how do you expect me to stop him?"

Hearing this, Vermilion Bird fell silent.

The General was right; nobody could stop Li Chen from doing what he intended to do.

Li Lingyun sighed lightly and waved her hand, "Let it be. If it rains, let it pour, let it go. Even the ’Destructing God’ nuclear missiles of the United States didn’t kill him, the bunch in the Dark World may not be able to handle him either."

"Vermilion Bird, what you need to do now is to cooperate with our embassy and ensure the safety of that girl named Lin Xuanfei, so he doesn’t get distracted!"

Vermilion Bird bit her lip and obediently replied, "Alright, I understand."

After speaking, she instinctively looked out the window.

The moon hung high, dotted with stars; it seemed that a sunny day awaited tomorrow.

Yet while here the sun shines brightly, Europe was already shrouded in dark clouds.

It looked like the Western World, peaceful for half a century, was on the brink of blood and turmoil.

She could only hope, as the General said, that he would be safe and sound, creating another miracle!
