Chapter 652: Successfully Persuaded

“What do you want me to do?”

Boses finally understood some things, looking coldly at Yi Chen.

“The contract will specify that you will regain your freedom in ten years and will also state that I will not demand any of your resources and treasures.”

Yi Chen answered a question that was not asked.

Boses’s expression remained the same, but his heart stirred.

This was another extremely lenient condition.

It meant he only had to serve for ten years to gain his freedom and would incur no losses.

“Besides this, as long as you complete the tasks assigned to you, I will grant you resources and treasures worth one trillion Low-grade Immortal Stones each year as payment.”

Wow!

Boses looked at Yi Chen in surprise.

He scrambled to collect the resources and treasures in his territory, causing people to be furious; even his strong subordinates were filled with resentment. All his assets totaled only about one trillion in resources and treasures.

Didn’t this mean that if he worked for ten years, he would not only incur no losses, but his worth would also directly increase tenfold?

One trillion Low-grade Immortal Stones was enough to make him risk his life to fight for it.

“Furthermore, the matter of your capture and control will be kept absolutely confidential and will not be leaked. Of course, conversely, you must also keep the secret, and even the memories related to your subordinates must be erased to prevent you from seeking revenge after regaining your freedom.”

Yi Chen pointed to the level 210 Boljin Tribe warrior beside him.

A flash of discontent crossed Boses’s mind.

But that discontent quickly vanished.

This clause had both advantages and disadvantages for him, but overall, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks. He just felt a bit reluctant not to get revenge on the subordinates who had betrayed and attacked him.

“Finally, the tasks assigned to you might involve some risk, but it will not be too high. The greatest risk should only involve you using the Shadow King’s stealth techniques to carry out a close-range ambush on a level 230 warrior.”

Yi Chen stated the last clause.

Boses fell silent.

This requirement was much lower than he had anticipated in terms of risk.

Considering his strength realm, if he were to carry out a close-range ambush, he would have a real chance to heavily injure a level 230 warrior.

This could be inferred from how one of his underlings had severely injured him in a single strike.

“The main content of the contract is nearly established. The specific details can be discussed and modified later.”

Yi Chen smiled and said, “The key point now is whether you are willing to accept this contract!”

“Willing!”

Boses did not hesitate much.

Any strong warrior would extremely dislike being controlled by someone weaker than themselves.

However, in this situation of capture, merely having to serve for ten years, while also gaining substantial benefits, made a significant difference.

Boses’s dignity was not so great that he could afford to refuse.

“Since that’s the case, let’s decide on this.”

Yi Chen began to use the Beast Taming Technique to create the relevant contract.

Then, he transmitted the contract’s contents to Boses using his divine consciousness.

Boses quickly chose to accept all the details.

Boses was strong, so to avoid any unexpected situations, Yi Chen left the contract behind and took Bai Ruo Xin and the Little Gold Ball away from the flying treasure.

The Shadow King, Mares, and the Boljin Tribe warrior stood guard while loosening some Immortal Vines, allowing Boses to regain a bit of energy.

Boses only glanced at the three of them and decisively used his energy to control a drop of blood, injecting it into the contract.

The contract then took effect.

Outside the flying treasure, Yi Chen sensed a faint connection had formed between his divine consciousness and Boses.

With a single thought, he could use the blood inside Boses’s body to control Boses’s life and death, even making him lose consciousness and forcing him to act according to Yi Chen’s wishes.

Of course, this was only possible if Boses first violated the contract; then he would have that authority.

After receiving the notice from Yi Chen, the Shadow King took Boses and the Boljin Tribe warrior into another flying treasure, providing them with a batch of high-quality immortal materials that could heal injuries quickly, allowing Boses to recover as soon as possible before returning to Yi Chen’s flying treasure.

“Mission accomplished! Next, we just need to control a level 220 Time Tribe warrior, and even the high-ranking leaders of the foreign affairs department could come to this star cluster and still be killed or heavily injured!”

When Yi Chen returned to the flying treasure, he felt much more relaxed.

Successfully capturing Boses meant that half of the threat from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was lifted.

Now, they just had to wait for Boses to recover.

While Boses healed, they could head to the Time Tribe’s Time Star Cluster.

He immediately took out a Large Battleship from the Map of Mountains and Rivers and notified the Captain to head for the Time Tribe.

After arranging everything, he focused on his cultivation, moving toward the fourth level of the Tao Immortal Stage.

Seven days later, the Large Battleship successfully entered the Time Star Cluster.

Yi Chen then stored the Large Battleship back into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, finding a deserted star as a temporary base, where he set up a defensive formation and a teleportation array.

Five Shadow Kings immediately went to the surrounding life planets to collect information data.

After spending a few days gathering various data on the Time Tribe’s influence in the surrounding area, Yi Chen quickly settled on the target of the second level 220 powerful fighter.

However, although the target was confirmed, they did not act immediately because Boses was still healing.

In just over ten days, along with various high-quality immortal materials, Boses’s injuries had improved a bit, but he was still far from being able to unleash his strongest state in the short term.

They would have to wait some more time.

This wait lasted half a month, and as Boses still had not recovered to a point where he could unleash his strongest state in the short term, Yi Chen received news from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s foreign affairs department.

“According to the Shadow King stationed in the foreign affairs department, the information collected through an insider shows that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s resources department has sent the first batch of resources and treasures to the human federation, and they have all arrived at the foreign affairs department.”

The Shadow King immediately informed Yi Chen of the received message:

“The specific number of these resources and treasures is unknown, but a level 210 strong fighter is escorting them, so we can roughly guess that it is not a small amount.”

“It seems that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe is planning to support the human federation with all their might! Speaking of which, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe is indeed generous.”

Yi Chen clicked his tongue, his expression remaining unchanged.

“Compared to the emperor, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s generosity is insignificant.”

The Shadow King couldn’t help but retort.

Yi Chen chuckled and asked, “Can’t we find out when they will depart and which strong fighters will be sent?”

The Shadow King shook his head: “Our insider in the foreign affairs department does not hold a high position. This is said to be confidential due to concerns about sabotage from the Time Tribe, and only some strong fighter-level personnel know the specific details.”

“The only certainty is that the foreign affairs department seems to be taking this matter very seriously, moving much faster than the resources department. It took the resources department over two months to send the required resources and treasures to the foreign affairs department.”

“But the foreign affairs department might set out in two or three days to head for this star cluster!”

Yi Chen nodded.

His original plan was to successfully capture the Time Tribe warrior and have them work together with Boses to launch a surprise attack directly in the Tree-Dwelling Star Cluster.

This way, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s foreign affairs department would mistakenly think that the Time Tribe had received news and killed the Tree-Dwelling Tribe warriors while seizing this batch of resources and treasures.

The blame would surely fall on the Time Tribe.

This would buy them a significant amount of time.

However, if they acted in this star cluster, they would have to destroy evidence to avoid raising suspicions that the Time Tribe did it.

Because if that happened, the foreign affairs department would mistakenly believe the Time Tribe had learned about the human federation’s news and coordinates.

They might send a large number of strong fighters to the star cluster to ensure that the human federation was not captured by the Time Tribe.

This would be extremely unfavorable for Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire’s development.

For now, since the Time Tribe’s fighter had not been captured yet, he could only choose the second plan.
