Chapter 619: Negotiation – Submission (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Sir, you asked us here for negotiations. There's no need to assert dominance as soon as we arrive, is there?”

The man in the lead, who was struggling to resist Mu Qing's pressure, said with a flushed face.

“Alright, stop scaring our future allies,” Feng Qi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mu Qing immediately restrained her aura and retreated to his side.

The pressure suddenly disappeared. The three domain creatures heaved a sigh of relief with ugly expressions. Fear appeared in their eyes as they looked at Feng Qi.

“Sir, you've been wantonly destroying our alliance's base recently. What do you want to talk to us about? And what do you mean by forming an alliance?” The man in the lead asked in a low voice.

“It's simple. I want to take you in and work for me.”

Feng Qi went straight to the point and voiced his thoughts.

“Sir, I think you've misunderstood. We established the domain alliance in Star City only to provide a platform. We can't order other factions to follow my orders.”

“I know.”

“Then why…”

“I don't need you to do anything for me. What I want is to control your alliance's intelligence network, including all missions. If you're unwilling, I'll make sure you can't survive in Star City anymore. From now on, I'll wreck your base three times a day until you compromise. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try.”

Confronted by Feng Qi's overbearing demeanor, the leader's expression turned extremely displeased.

He did not doubt that Feng Qi would do that.

During this period, 31 alliance bases had been destroyed and hundreds of domain creatures had died. This was a warning from Feng Qi.

“Sir, do you want to control the entire Star City?”

The man in the lead quickly analyzed Feng Qi's ultimate goal.

It was obvious that he did not want any hidden dangers to appear in Star City if he wanted to control the intelligence network.

From the perspective of the overall situation, there seemed to be only one possibility. He hoped that the situation in Star City was under his control. “That's right!” Feng Qi admitted without hesitation.

“Do you have the ability? The Star City Military is not to be trifled with. If they know of your existence, they will take you out.”

“What do you think?” A smile appeared on the mask that could simulate facial expressions.

“I'm not sure. Perhaps you can prove it to us.” The leader did not give in immediately. Instead, he hoped that Feng Qi could prove it.

“Alright, I'll prove it to you.”

As soon as Feng Qi finished speaking, Mu Qing, who was standing behind him, suddenly jumped up.

Her aura rose steadily, and a jade-colored dense aura enveloped the surroundings.

A terrifying pressure appeared again. At this moment, she clenched her fists and suddenly punched at the center of the lake.

The three domain creatures standing in front of Feng Qi immediately looked in the direction Mu Qing was pointing with her fist.

Boom!

They couldn't discern the fist shadows clearly as they advanced. Instead, they only heard a resounding explosion in the center of the lake. Witnessing the lake's central portion sink and crumble, a formidable force displaced the water, eventually unveiling the mud and rocks at the lake's bottom.

At this moment, Mu Qing, who was floating in the air, suddenly retracted her fist.

The terrifying power suddenly dissipated, and the lake water immediately surged back, causing water to splash dozens of feet high in the center.

Soon after, Mu Qing landed behind Feng Qi.

“Is it enough?”

The three domain creatures were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They looked at Feng Qi with fear in their eyes.

They could not imagine how powerful Feng Qi was to be able to subdue such a powerful expert.

This punch shook their hearts.

Knowing that the deterrence effect had been achieved, a smile appeared on Feng Qi's mask.

“I assume you came to Star City seeking benefits. Going against me doesn't align with your pursuit of advantages, does it?”

After the intimidation phase concluded, Feng Qi moved on to entice them.

“What do you mean?” The man in the lead asked carefully.

“Under my protection, your progress will be more seamless. If you're willing to remain loyal to me, I can guarantee a monthly allocation of fixed spiritual resources as a reward for you.”

Under the pressure of intimidation and enticement, the defenses in the heart of the man with gills on his face completely crumbled.

“We're willing to be loyal to you, but I want to know how we should contact you in the future.” The leader bowed slightly.

“Intelligence and missions obtained in the future can be sent to the Tiger Soul Research Institute. On the first of every month, you can also go to the Tiger Soul Research Institute to collect your resources. As for whether you send these resources back to the clan or use them yourself, I won't care.”

“Tiger Soul Research Institute?” The leader was alarmed.

“Sir, may I ask if the Tiger Soul Research Institute… is already under your control?”

Feng Qi did not answer and opened his right palm.

In his palm was a transparent glass bottle. Through the glass, one could see the small black pills inside.

“Eat it in front of me. Although you're already loyal to me, it's your turn to prove your sincerity.”

The small black pills in the glass bottle were a special pill developed by the director of the Plant Research Department of the Scarlet Research Institute. It was made from a mix of more than 20 types of spiritual plants.

After consuming this pill, the body would become extremely dependent on the medicinal effect and had to take it regularly every day.

This dependence did not come purely from the spiritual level.

Cutting off the medication would lead to the Spiritual Qi in one's body becoming chaotic, potentially causing one's mind to fall into disarray. It posed a threat to one's life.

If the withdrawal lasted for a month, the probability of death would increase greatly.

This pill had already been tested on many domain creatures. Other than elemental domain creatures, all the domain creatures with flesh and blood had succeeded.

Unless one could instantly digest matter into energy like Mu Qing, causing it to completely lose the effect of the medicine, one would not be able to escape the control of the medicine.

Other than the side effects, this pill was essentially a spiritual medicine.

Consuming it regularly not only did not burden the body but it also nourished the body.

In the previous timeline, the owner of the fog used Flesh Sacrifice to control them. He did not intend to promote Flesh Sacrifice in this timeline. This was a new method developed by the Scarlet Research Institute.

Although the pills were not as domineering as Flesh Sacrifice and were useless against creatures with powerful physiques, it was easy to control the three domain creatures in front of him.

A conflicted expression appeared on the face of the man in the lead. But after a short hesitation, he took the glass bottle, poured out a pill, and threw it into his mouth.

Then, it poured out two more pills and handed them to his two younger brothers behind him.

The other two domain creatures didn't hesitate and immediately swallowed it.

At this moment, Mu Qing stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the man in the lead.

The jade-colored stream of light seeped into the leader's body through Mu Qing's arm, helping him digest the pill.

Then, Mu Qing looked at the other two domain creatures and helped them digest the pills.

Thereafter, Mu Qing retreated behind Feng Qi.

“They have been digested.”

Feng Qi nodded and looked at the man in the lead.

“Congratulations on making the right choice. I believe you'll consider today's decision fortunate in the future.”

“Let's continue the topic from before. Regarding whether I have already taken control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the truth is as you think. The Tiger Soul Research Institute is now under my control.”

Hearing this, joy appeared on the three domain creatures' faces.

In their opinion, they were already on the same side as the mysterious person in front of them. The stronger his power was, the more beneficial it was to them.

Perhaps in the future, under the protection of this mysterious expert, he could lead their clansmen to escape the danger of the situation.

As they imagined a beautiful future, smiles appeared on their faces.

Seeing this, Feng Qi laughed in his heart.

Painting a rosy picture was indeed a necessary method to control one's heart.

The first step was to terrify them. It was mainly to intimidate them and put themselves at the top of the negotiation.

The second step was to lure.

In these areas, the warriors of the weak race alliance were generally outlaws. They were even willing to risk their lives for benefits so that they could work harder.

The third step was to control and paint a rosy picture.

Control was to prevent possible betrayal. It was to make them serve him wholeheartedly and feel like they were on the same boat as him.

These were all methods used by Fog in the previous timeline. He copied them.

However, Fog had never treated them as its people from the start to the end. They were just tools to be used. There was no need for them to exist if their value was gone.

Feng Qi had the same thoughts.

It was the early stages of Breaking Dawn's development, and there was something useful about them.

However, once their value was exhausted, he would not hesitate to erase them all without any mercy.

“Sir, may I know your name? We'll know how to address you in the future!” At this moment, the leader bowed and asked.

After a short thought, Feng Qi smiled and said.

“My name is… Narrator!”
