Chapter 29: I Can Help The Yang Family Go Further!

The people in the control room were also very surprised. So, you’re not from the Yang family? Then where did you come from?

Kelly Duville’s eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. He had originally thought Gu Ran was from the Yang family, so his fate would depend on their attitude. However, if Gu Ran wasn’t from the Yang family, there might be a chance for him.

He immediately shouted, “Since you’re not from the Yang family, you must want something in exchange for capturing me, right? What do you want? Money? Power? Or perhaps…beautiful girl? The Yang family can offer you that, but the Duville family can offer you double!

“I’m one of the candidates for the head of the Duville family. As long as you release me, I can promise you anything you want. You have spatial abilities, and if you ally with the Duville family, you’ll immediately be treated as a distinguished guest.

“On the other hand, if you offend the Duville family, even the Yang family won’t be able to protect you. The Duville family will become the ruling family next year. Do you think the Yang family will dare to offend us?”

Gu Ran frowned, “I didn’t ask you to speak. Since you still have some use, I’ll spare you for now. But since you’ve broken my rules, a punishment is inevitable.”

Kelly Duville noticed that the space portal that was making him continuously move back and forth suddenly disappeared. Feeling his body become free, he was overjoyed, thinking that he had convinced Gu Ran and that the so-called punishment was just a bluff.

He laughed loudly, “Haha, you are indeed a clever person. I will definitely—”

Kelly Duville’s words were abruptly cut off as he suddenly felt a strange sense of stagnation and the space around him became thick and sticky.

“This is a little trick I came up with,” Gu Ran explained calmly. “By distorting the strength of the space, I created a small space that can contain others. In this space, his movements are restricted, and his voice cannot be heard.”

Indeed, the people in the control room and Yang Tian could see that the space where Kelly Duville was located had a twisted and viscous feeling compared to other spaces.

In the space, Kelly Duville’s eyes were filled with resentment as he opened his mouth as if saying something, but no one could hear him.

Gu Ran turned to Yang Tian on the screen, “General Yang Tian, you’ve seen the capital I hold. I’m a space ability user, and according to the current human alliance grading, I should be an A-level space ability user.

“General Duville’s conspiracy was stopped by me. I saved the remaining soldiers in D32 district, and that Yang family staff member is also from the Yang family, so I also saved Yang family members. Of course, I’m not asking for a reward from General Yang, I’m just showing you my abilities and the role I played in this matter.

“As for the truth of the matter, I believe General Yang Tian will have your own channels to verify it. But before you verify it, let me explain the content of the deal.

“If I’m not mistaken, the Duville family has set its sights on the military power in D district. They sent this useless general here with the intention of gradually seizing control of the military power in D district. Although this useless general has made fatal mistakes and is unlikely to establish a foothold in D district,

“Even if we temporarily prevent the Duville family from intervening, as long as they don’t give up, they will continue to find opportunities to place their people among the D district officers, attempting to replace the Yang family’s position.

“And next year, the Duville family will become the ruling family. How will the Yang family be able to resist the Duville family then?”

Gu Ran spoke leisurely, but his words astonished everyone.

Is this really something a young person would say? Other ability users at his age might still be struggling with their ability cores or school assignments, not thinking about the situation of upper families.

But young Gu Ran not only understood the positions of the two families but could even talk confidently about their struggles.

Yang Tian’s gaze toward Gu Ran changed slightly, “You’re indeed a young genius. You have the capital for this. Just being an A-level space ability user is enough to sit at the negotiating table with me. So please state the terms of your deal. If it’s a common deal, our Yang family doesn’t consider deals with third-rate families.”

Yang Tian himself was only at the martial arts condensation stage, so if compared with abilities, Gu Ran, as an A-level ability user, was at the same level as him, not to mention that Gu Ran’s ability was the rare spatial ability.

“I can not only help the Yang family maintain its military power in D district but also help the Yang family expand further, extending its influence to E district and entering the inner city core.”

Yang Tian frowned. If Gu Ran hadn’t laid the groundwork and made him believe he was not an ordinary young person, he would have dismissed this as a joke.

Not to mention how to counter the Duville family’s covetousness over D district’s military power, this kid even dares to say he can help the Yang family extend its influence to E district?

Who is the chief of E district?

William Duville!

One of the core members of the Duville family.

So, Gu Ran’s implication was not only to help the Yang family retain its current territory and fend off the Duville family but also to take a piece of the Duville family’s influence.

The most outrageous part was the last one—helping the Yang family enter the inner city core?

Everyone knows that the inner city core is already dominated by several major families. So other families have to expand outward. If they try to interfere with the inner city core, those major families won’t just sit by.

At that time, the entire Yang family might be destroyed.

Is this kid trying to help or sabotage the Yang family?

In an instant, Yang Tian’s mind was filled with various thoughts.

At one point, his eyes grew sharp, considering whether to sell Gu Ran to the Duville family, placing all the blame on him, and then driving the Duville family out of D district. This way, the Yang family and the Duville family could maintain a facade of peace.

Although Gu Ran saved Yang family members and thwarted Kelly Duville’s conspiracy, for people like them, family interests outweigh everything.

For the sake of family interests, the Yang family could even reconcile with the fool Kelly Duville or betray their “benefactor” Gu Ran, as long as they could get a good price.

In the end, Yang Tian only revealed a faint smile and asked, “How can I trust you? Or rather, what assurances can you give me?”

“If you can’t prove that you can deliver, our Yang family won’t believe such idle talk.”

Author’s Note: P.S. Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone! (Or should I say “well-being”? The author isn’t quite sure, but I hope you can all feel my heartfelt wishes! (ෆ´ ˘ `ෆ)♡). Savory zongzi is the best in the world!

Also, I just realized that Shrewd Cat has closed the comments section today. At this critical moment of promotion, it’s been closed, and I immediately felt that the readership would drop and votes would decrease—oh no, it’s going to cool down ( ´•︵•` ). Then I suddenly remembered, it seems like readers of this book don’t really comment much anyway///•A•///. So, maybe the votes won’t decrease… patting myself. (●’◡’●)ﾉ♥
