Chapter 370: You’ve Gone Too Far
“I’ve always wondered what kind of faces those masked people were hiding underneath. Now, it seems there’s nothing particularly extraordinary about them.”
The blonde strong man Bara looked at the slender Zhang Mu, shook his head and seemed not very satisfied.
Xiao Nan sneered and said, “Do you really think he’s just a greenhorn like those guys? I don’t know what you’re thinking, letting him join. Don’t you know trouble will come from those greedy Caravan Alliance people?”
It seemed that the Four War Riders were not as united with the Caravan Alliance as Zhang Mu had imagined. Even leaders like Xiao Nan and Bara, who had ambiguous relationships with the Caravan Alliance, were freely discussing them, indicating many things.
But this actually makes things easier.
According to the information given by Hachikuju to Zhang Mu, the rough-looking Bara is on the same side as Xiao Nan, and Xiao Nan has leaned towards the Caravan Alliance. Bara has long been mingling with those Era Sub-merchants.
On the other hand, the leader of the Mad Wolf Riders, Huyan Tu, who seemed extremely gloomy, clearly stated that he would not join the Caravan Alliance. Just as his name suggests, he is wild and disdainful of joining anyone. So, he did not get involved in Bara and Xiao Nan’s discussion about Zhang Mu.
Finally, the white-robed Zhang Yi, who sat at the top, spoke slowly, “Enough. No matter what, as guests from afar, it seems our Eight War Riders have not been hospitable enough. Brother Zhang Mu, you must have something to discuss with us since you came up. Please speak.”
Zhang Yi, as described by Hachikuju, is the most mysterious leader of the War Riders. At the establishment of the Eight War Riders, he led the seven others to capture the first capital city, which is now Hohhot City.
As for his attitude, he has always been indifferent towards the Caravan Alliance. No one knows what he is thinking, just like no one knows how powerful he truly is.
Zhang Mu hadn’t been listening to Bara and Xiao Nan before because Zhang Yi hadn’t spoken. But now that the real person in charge had spoken, he smiled and openly stated his intentions.
“I’ve come to this Drunken Immortal Building today to talk to you all about a business opportunity.”
“What a joke, you alone want to discuss business with us? We’ve seen everything you have to offer.”
Xiao Nan looked down on Zhang Mu, remembering how arrogant he was yesterday. Zhang Mu may be an Era Sub-merchant, but his standing couldn’t compare to the Caravan Alliance with its eighteen members. If this was all he had against the Caravan Alliance, it was just wishful thinking.
“What can you offer?”
At that moment, Huyan Tu, who had been silent, looked directly at Zhang Mu. His gaze, like that of a fierce eagle, tried to penetrate Zhang Mu’s innermost thoughts but was blocked by Zhang Mu’s mental strength.
The killing intent in his gaze was almost tangible, his whole presence becoming concentrated and terrifying.
He was testing Zhang Mu. Huyan Tu’s ability wasn’t mental strength but some form of aura-related power, potent enough to captivate hearts. But Zhang Mu’s mental defenses held firm, and since there was no ill will behind his gaze, it had no effect on Zhang Mu. Had it been someone else, even with second-rank strength, their mind would have quivered.
Hearing even the taciturn Huyan Tu speaking up, Xiao Nan snorted and fell silent, waiting for Zhang Mu to explain his supposed business venture.
“The business I can do, you all know, is just about those goods.”
Zhang Yi calmly said, “I believe you know, Zhang Mu brother, we have a cooperation with Caravan Alliance. I think the goods they can offer should be cheaper and more diverse compared to what you can get alone.”
Hearing this, Zhang Mu shook his head and said with a smile, “Zhang Yi leader, it’s just that you don’t understand us. More people may not necessarily mean lower prices or more variety.”
A faint black light flashed on Zhang Mu’s Era Merchant Ring on his right hand, and a vial of clear potion appeared in Zhang Mu’s hand, showing it towards the four people.
“Second-rank healing potion, do the four leaders recognize it?”
At this moment, Zhang Mu was like a skilled salesperson, fully demonstrating the vial of second-rank healing potion in front of the four, then tossing it in Zhang Yi’s direction, who caught it.
He wasn’t worried that Zhang Yi would swallow it. It’s just five thousand elemental crystals. If that’s the case, there’s nothing more to discuss. Besides, what belongs to Zhang Mu is not easy to take.
Zhang Yi took the second-rank healing potion, examined it for a while, his expression unchanged, and continued, “Indeed, it’s a second-rank healing potion. But what does this prove? The same things will appear at auctions, and whether the prices will go down or up is unpredictable.”
This is the only remaining second-rank healing potion in Zhang Mu’s hand. One vial was given to a mutated wolfhound just in case, and one vial was sold to Qizilbash for five thousand elemental crystals. This is the last vial, but enough to make these four interested in hearing what he has to say next.
“What if they can’t show up at the auction tomorrow?”
Zhang Mu greeted Zhang Yi with a half-smile, showing full confidence in his eyes.
“Arrogant!”
Bara from the Caravan Alliance slammed the table and stood up, saying, “Are you mocking us? You should have been detained earlier, wait for the merchants to arrive this afternoon and let them deal with you.”
Zhang Mu, ignoring his direction, looked at Zhang Yi and said, “Zhang Yi City Master, for now I’ll address you as City Master. But in the future, who knows? Can’t you see the ambitions of those people? These ten cities were hard-earned by your Eight War Riders, are you going to just hand them over?”
His words stirred up a hornet’s nest instantly, hitting a nerve among them. Xiao Nan also stood up, his energy fluctuations becoming obvious. Pointing his sword at Zhang Mu, he said, “Zhang Mu, you are really pushing it. If it wasn’t for orders to spare your life, I would have taken your head already.”
However, this phrase made Zhang Yi, who had been calm and composed, tense up, his voice turning cold.
“Fifth Brother, you have gone too far.”
