Chapter 979: [715] Spying and Silencing (Two in One, Asking for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_3 Chapter 979: [715] Spying and Silencing (Two in One, Asking for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_3 “I’ve already notified headquarters to relocate first, and see how the wind is blowing.”
“Have you checked on Saint Yuan?”
“We have scouted it, it’s just a group of guys who wandered in unintentionally…”
“What exactly is hidden in Saint Yuan? Why are they being so cautious this time?”
“We shouldn’t meddle in things that aren’t our business.”
…
…
“King, the task you entrusted to me has been completed.”
Kunad appeared beside Pei Jinye, and whispered again, “King, there is one more thing, regarding the assassination plan against the Summer Country Warriors you mentioned earlier, we have now fully prepared the personnel…”
“Cancel the plan against the Summer Country.”
Pei Jinye said slowly.
Pitan was a man who would take revenge for the slightest grievance.
Being bullied by the powerful of the Summer Country, he wanted to retaliate in secret.
Pity that man’s calculations are no match for Heavenly Calculation.
“Cancel?” Kunad was startled for a moment, then realizing, he said, “King, truly wise and godlike in martial prowess. This move is truly brilliant. With the Empire currently arm-wrestling with the Summer Country, we can just sit back and enjoy the show, watching the fire from across the river…”
Pei Jinye suddenly said again, “Did we catch a group of Summer Country Warriors a while back?”
Kunad nodded, resentfully saying, “Yes, these guys really do have tough mouths, no matter what we do, they won’t spill the location of their base.”
“Release them.”
Hearing the King’s words, Kunad’s mouth opened in confusion, as though uncertain what he had just heard: “…release… them?”
Not until Pei Jinye’s gaze met his did he hurriedly bow his head and agree.
…
The iron door opened.
Three blood-stained Summer Country Warriors with black hoods were shoved into a vehicle.
Before long.
At the port, the three bound Summer Country Warriors were thrown out.
“Who?”
“Here are the healing pills. I’ve already notified Doctor Zhao. The map is close by. Take care of yourselves.”
The ropes around their wrists broke.
By the time the three Summer Country Warriors struggled free from their bonds and took off their hoods, there was no one else to be seen, except for a bag by their side.
“Boss…” the disheveled youth looked over.
The middle-aged man picked up the bag, found three Spirit Fruits inside, and sniffed them. There was no strange odor.
“No poison.”
There was also a map on top.
The youth whispered softly, “Can we really trust this?”
“There’s no reason for Tanwood Country to release us out of the blue and leave behind such good things… The route on this map is not the escape route we originally designed.”
“Boss, there’s a cellphone.”
At that moment, the cellphone rang.
The three tensed up instantly.
The middle-aged man answered the call and was stunned after hearing Doctor Zhao’s voice.
“We’re out… I don’t know why, they just dumped us here… But someone came by during that time, gave us three fruits… You want me to describe the fruits… Yes, that’s right, you know them?”
…
…
Doctor Zhao hung up the phone, excitedly looking at the square-faced middle-aged man, “It’s surely Old Pei, he’s definitely in Tanwood Country.”
The square-faced man wondered, “Why wouldn’t the lad come back?”
“There must be some difficulty…” Doctor Zhao pondered, then added, “Pei Jinye didn’t reveal his identity when he contacted them, but he left behind some things and a string of numbers. That was also the secret code we set up temporarily.”
“What did it say?”
“I’m translating it.”
The square-faced man urged him to be quick, and Doctor Zhao finished the translation in less than three minutes.
“Just as I suspected,” Old Pei was unintentionally brought to Tanwood Country, but Pitan hasn’t discovered him yet. Now Tanwood Country is in full lockdown, and he is still healing; we can’t just barge in. He will find a way to return on his own, and he told us not to attempt a rescue because he has ways to protect himself.”
“I’m not sure about this, I need to ask what the Cabinet thinks.” the square-faced middle-aged man shook his head: “You should also know how important Pei Jinye is to us.”
“I understand. Old Pei also mentioned something else. He found a place that is suspected to be a base point for Palace Ji in our Summer Country and the Empire,” Dr. Zhao whispered.
“What?” The square-faced middle-aged man was stunned on the spot, his expression somewhat exaggerated. “How did he know?”
“That … might be traced back from Tanwood Country, the exact location is still to be verified.” Dr. Zhao also spoke with admiration on his face: “Old Pei is really remarkable, capable of fighting and gathering intelligence. Our Summer Country’s luck is really turning around!”
Dr. Zhao had barely finished speaking when Zhao Changsheng reported at the door that people from the Wild Gold Country had arrived.
“The intentions of the Wild Gold Country are clear. The Empire is pressuring them again, now they need us to step in.”
“These guys are applying indirect pressure to us, but…” The square-faced middle-aged man sneered: “Has the item been transferred away?”
“We just received the news; the materials have already arrived domestically, and relevant experts are on their way to negotiate.”
“If the Wild Gold Country doesn’t listen, then let the Empire properly handle them. Also, how are the negotiations with our side going?”
“They hope we relax control over the Wild Gold Country and allow their people to come in.”
“What are their stakes?”
“To acknowledge us as friends.”
“Bullshit! As if others are fools, how much can friendship with the Empire really be worth! Give them a chance to rephrase their offer!”
“So we didn’t agree, unless they can give substantial benefits.”
“…Such a hassle!”
…
Tanwood Country.
“Don’t understand… why release those three warriors from the Summer Country?”
“Don’t understand. But respect.”
“Faintly heard it’s because of pressure.”
“What pressure.”
“Stop the chatter, shut up!”
…
“King, the Eisen Family has come asking for an audience with you.”
“The Eisen Family… that’s quite a long-lost surname.”
Pei Jinye’s smile at the corner of his mouth was tinged with a bit of chill.
He turned and ascended the throne.
“Let them in.”
…
In a short while.
A delegation from the Eisen Family of the Empire appeared within the great hall, offering enough respect for Pitan, a First Level Strongman.
Pei Jinye loomed from above.
Leading the Eisen Family was a middle-aged man of over fifty.
His gaze was sharp.
But at the moment, his face showed a smile of “ingratiation.”
“King of Tanwood Country, I am Eisen Powell. It has been three and a half years since our last meeting. I hope our friendship has not faded in that time. This time, I have brought some specialties from our Eisen Family, and I hope you will like them.”
Eisen Powell raised his hand, and a family guard beside him immediately presented a box with both hands.
Pei Jinye sat aloft on the high throne, looking down at him, his eyes revealing a touch of languor.
He watched as the box was opened, revealing the glistening minerals inside.
But before Eisen Powell could approach, he was stopped by Black Armor Guards beneath the throne, preventing him from getting closer to the royal presence.
These two guards were Quasi-First Level Warriors, naturally emitting a very powerful aura.

Eisen Powell looked innocently towards Pei Jinye.
He was just a Quasi-First Level Warrior, and even though rumors had it that Pitan had been injured after the ordeal in the Wild Gold Country, he didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction at the moment.
Pei Jinye remained silent, merely waving his hand; the two Black Armor Guards in front of the stairs fully followed his commands, making way.
Kunad moved forward voluntarily, approaching the base of the steps, “You are thoughtful. The King will remember your friendship. Considering the recent unsettled times, I shall take charge of this gift-giving matter. You don’t mind, do you?”
“Of course not, I am obliged,”
Eisen Powell agreed cheerfully.
