Chapter 342: Ultimatum
The messenger had already had his qualifications confirmed, and he bowed politely as he handed over a scroll. Then the messenger straightened his back and left the hall a bit quicker than normal. Wu Chang was, as usual, an open book. He looked apprehensive as he opened the scroll, and as his eyes scanned over the contents his face fell. His brows scrunched up and he just handed the letter over to Black Saber. Black Saber read it quickly, just glancing at it before handing it to Sage. Just as Wu Changs emotions were very obvious, Black Sabers were a mystery.
Sage read the scroll and then threw it onto the ground. Usually, he would have kept as straight a face as Black Saber, but he couldnt help himself. The message was just too absurd.
Who do they think they are? Did Lai Liang become a Provincial Governor when I wasnt here for a few weeks? The Lai Clan has gone completely insane. What gives them the right to demand 4 million Spirit Stones?
Wu Chang's angry voice cut right to the chase, but Black Sabers response was sober, The Lai Clan doesnt just control the Dawn Mountain County. Four of the individual City Lords that sent us angry messages are from the Lai Clan. With four out of the ten cities in Dawn Mountain province behind them, if they spend some money they can get the entire province to back them against us.
Who cares if they get the whole province, what right do they have to come after us? We just killed a bunch of slave dealers! Theyre scum that are better off dead.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
Slavery is not illegal in the Dou Kingdom. Theyre claiming they were business partners, and the Jade Horde killed them to undermine their province.
Sage stepped in at this point, Alright, enough. Complaining about them isnt going to fix the situation. What do we do? What are our options?
Wu Chang clapped his lips shut and then looked over at Black Saber. His eyebrows rose up his forehead, like hed only just now realized the magnitude of what the message represented. It seems he was too angry to realize what was going on.
Even as frenzied as he was, he didnt make much progress on his many research projects and the two weeks passed rapidly. Sage called a meeting of the Jade Horde commanders and entered the main hall to see Black Saber, Wu Chang, Whitestaff, and the three Strongfist Brothers.
Whitestaff and the Strongfist trio! Good to see you. I only wish our reunion was under better conditions.
Whitestaff had been in charge of the defense of Horde Home, while the Strongfist brothers were running their mercenary operations in Bronze Tiger Province. They were the easiest to get in touch with, while Bi Hongbing and Abbot Kunga were still busy recruiting and establishing the Jade Hordes presence in other provinces. They didnt have any permanent locations established, and they were outside the range of normal messaging devices. Sage was already low on funds when he left for the Dou Kingdom, so there was no way he could afford an expensive Twinned Messaging Jade like Peak Master Zhen had given him. A pair of such devices was usually sold for about half a million Spirit Stones. Eventually he planned to get an even more expensive set of eight linked Messaging Jades to give to the Leader and all Seven Stars of the Jade Horde, but that would require millions.
Sage walked over to where the six commanders stood in a semi-circle at the head of the hall. As he walked up, they were all looking at him expectantly. He could only shake his head, I was unsuccessful. How about the rest of you? Do we have any other options, or do we have to pull out of Lionheart Town?
Wu Chang and Black Saber shook their heads. Sage was silent, but kept his emotions from showing on his features. The same stony gaze they had become used to. It had once inspired confidence, making him seem so sure of his actions, but now it seemed hollow and empty.
To his right, Whitestaff cleared her throat, We do have one more option.
Sage turned towards her, We do? At that point he noticed something flash to his left.
Why does Black Saber have his blade drawn?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
