Chapter 351: Terms of Negotiation
rged from her back. Her flesh was mangled, and under the gruesome sight, Elder Bai's expression was extremely ferocious. She pointed at Rong Ju, her finger trembling, "You, you dare... I, I am Elder R...This is a blatant form of provocation, yet for certain individuals whose vulnerabilities have been exposed, it can be the most effective form of persuasion.
The leading man's forehead was covered in beads of sweat. He turned his head and gave the few people beside him a knowing glance, and they immediately turned away.
He walked to Qin Luoyan's face, leaning forward, one hand clutching her throat. "I can hear your secrets," he said, "but I hope the secrets you give me will satisfy me. Although you're someone we brought back to avoid a task, we are all passionate people. If we get really angry, killing a few people is also possible."
Qin Luoyan's face remained unchanged, not showing the slightest fear. Instead, she softly said in his ear: "Your family is looking for a craftsman because you need to crack a series of mechanisms to open a treasure trove. This secret is known by every person in the hidden families, but... only the Li family knows that the mechanism to unlock the final map requires a special bloodline craftsman. And I am the only known craftsman with a special bloodline! You think, why would the head of the Li family want me, such a talent, to be his future daughter-in-law"
Her counter-question, which had once been the most puzzling place in that big man's heart, now seemed reasonable to him after Qin Luoyan's explanation. He didn't speak, just stared wide-eyed at Qin Luoyan, as if the secret she had revealed was too shocking for him, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Qin Luo'yan let out a cold snort, raising her hand to grab his wrist before slowly pulling it away from her throat. "If you hand me over to your family, the credit would be enough for you to climb several ranks. However... the prerequisite is that I have to cooperate. If I'm unwilling, then sorry, it's all or nothing. You already know this secret. If I die at your hands, the Li family certainly won't let it go. If your family knew that you killed me, I think all of you fifteen people would be buried with me."
Qin Luo'yan's analysis once again shocked the Han man. He hadn't expected Qin Luo'yan's analysis to be so close to reality. He had lived in his family since he was a child and knew how his clan dealt with those who made mistakes. If he didn't know the secret on Qin Luo'yan, it would be fine. But Qin Luo'yan let him know. As Qin Luo'yan said, if one day the clan knew that such an important clue had been cut off here, then none of them would escape a punishment worse than death.
From this moment on, they not only couldn't let Qin Luoyan die, but also had to treat her well.
"Such a cunning woman!" the big man growled through gritted teeth, his voice cold. "No wonder even someone as great as General Wu Xuan was misled by you!"
Qin Luo yan did not speak, thinking of Fu Zi mo's desperate rush to save her, her heart ached.
“Well, let's cut to the chase. My terms are simple. I can cooperate with you willingly; all I ask for is that one person’s head! In exchange for him alone, I want your entire group's future secured. Sounds like a fair deal, doesn't it” Qin Luoyan raised her hand and pointed at the scrawny, pathetic-looking man by the door who had earlier tried to pick on Xiao Fan.
Upon hearing this, the little monkey suddenly turned around and looked at his leader in fear. "Leader, you can't listen to this woman's nonsense! We are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. How could you let her sow discord among us"
The Great Han remained silent, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on the scrawny monkey, lost in thought.
Qin Luoyan saw that he didn't make a move and sneered again: "Forget it, anyway, I have already stated the conditions. Whether you agree or not is your business. However, if you don't kill him, even when you reach your master's house, I won't make any concessions. At worst, my senior brother and I will go to the underworld together."
After she finished speaking, she ignored the big man's expression and went straight back to sit down and helped Xiao Fan up, who seemed a little lost.
An eerie silence hung in the house, a silence that seemed to seep out and envelop the stone dwelling. Soon, other figures in black gathered at the doorway, their faces etched with confusion. They knew nothing of what had transpired, only seeing their leader's grim countenance and the palpable fear on the face of the man known as "Thin Monkey," who retreated step by step, his eyes wide with alarm.
"Boss, you can't..." Before the skinny monkey could finish his sentence, the man in black standing behind him had already pierced his chest with a sword. Blood gushed from his chest, his eyes widened in shock, and he died without ever knowing who had struck him down.
The Khan at the head sighed and said, "Just bury him."
The few men in black standing beside the monkey heard his command and, carrying the monkey's corpse, walked out. The big man then returned to Qin Luoyan's face and said in a deep voice, "Now, are you satisfied"
"Don't worry, I keep my word!" Qin Luoyan glared fiercely at the corpse of the skinny monkey, her eyes devoid of any sympathy. There was not a shred of regret in her heart. That wretched creature dared to do that to Xiao Fan. If she hadn't reacted in time, perhaps Xiao Fan would have collapsed and died! So, even if she had to pay a heavy price, she couldn't allow the skinny monkey to walk out of here alive.
That great Han nodded, and then ordered someone to send some wine and dried food to Qin Luo Yan and Xiao Fan, before turning around and leaving with his men.
After they left, Qin Luoyan hurried to check on Xiao Fan's condition. He was already a bit jumpy, seemingly still immersed in fear and terror, his whole body trembling, and he didn't dare to make eye contact with Qin Luoyan at all.
“Brother, who did that to you before!” Qin Luoyan didn’t want to stimulate Xiao Fan any longer, but she still couldn’t help asking. To overcome fear, she had to face it head-on. She understood this, so even if it meant tearing open this bloody wound, she would grit her teeth and not hesitate.
Xiao Fan's eyes were wide with shock, as if he had been frightened again. He kept shrinking back into the corner.
“Senior Brother!” Qin Luoyan’s voice was already laced with sobs, “Senior Brother, look at me, tell me who did this to you! Let’s go kill him, make him pay for what he’s done! Let’s go kill him, then you won’t have to be afraid anymore. As long as he’s dead, no one will be able to hurt you!”
Qin Luoyan almost roared, her throat was filled with a metallic taste, tears streaming down her face as she fiercely hugged Xiao Fan who was curled up in fear.
Xiao Fan still seemed afraid, but he was also infected by her pain. He unconsciously turned his head to look at her, just once. His despair turned into shame in an instant, and the next moment, his eyes seemed clear.
