The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 265

Ten minutes later, White Rabbit met Gao Yang and Suzaku and took them into -10F and headed to the Rat Gate conference room.

Along the way, White Rabbit looked downcast.

Gao Yang really wanted to say: If you don't want to lead the way, don't force it. I'm familiar with this place anyway.

Arriving outside the door of the conference room, Bai Tu said in a cold voice: "Our captain is waiting for you two inside, so I won't go in."

Gao Yang and Suzaku looked at each other, Gao Yang stepped forward and pushed open the door.

In front of you is a retro-quality room with a gorgeous crystal chandelier, an old-school rectangular conference table, and the famous painting "The Last Breakfast" hanging on the wall.

Under the famous painting, sitting at the end of the conference table, was an indistinguishable young man with pale skin and breathtakingly beautiful eyes.

Facing everything familiar, Gao Yang felt as if he was in another world.

More than a month ago, he attended the plenary meeting of the Chinese Zodiac here for the first time, assisted Long in interrogating Guima, and personally witnessed Long's "execution" of Guima.

At that time, he was just a newcomer in the awakening world, an unknown person outside the top 100 in the rankings.

Now he is the elder of Qilin Union, ranked 15th in the rankings, and has come to negotiate business with Long.

Long smiled and looked at Gao Yang, with no Suzaku in his eyes.

"Dark Horse, you are here."

"He is now the Seven Shadows." Suzaku corrected coldly.

"Sorry, I just woke up and my head is still a little confused."

Long still smiled, but his eyes became meaningful: "Actually, the name is just a code name. It can't prove anything. It still depends on where the person's heart is. Miss Suzaku, don't you think so?"

Gao Yang looked calm on the surface, but roared crazily in his heart: Brother Long!Don't be like this!

I really haven’t betrayed my conscience!You don't need to remind me like this!With your pace, how can I still work in the Qilin Guild in the future?
"Mr. Long is right. It just so happens that our president is the best at reading people's hearts." Suzaku smiled coldly without losing his temper.

Gao Yang's chrysanthemum tightened: Sister Xia, what are you doing!Why do I feel like I'm caught in a weird triangle relationship?

Suddenly, Gao Yang had a flash of inspiration: That's it.

What Long did was right.

This woman, Suzaku, is very smart.

If Gao Yang saw the dragon today, the dragon would show indifference or even hostility, which would make him feel a bit out of place.

But Long not only did not avoid suspicion, but also deliberately let Suzaku hear such misleading words. In Suzaku's eyes, wasn't this just an attempt to "sow discord"?

This can only further prove that Gao Yang has nothing to do with the Chinese zodiac.

As for Suzaku's answer, it is also worth pondering.

What she meant was: Our boss Qilin is very powerful. He has tested Qiying a long time ago. If you want to sow discord, just save it.

Indeed, Qilin's [Vientiane] is so terrifying.If Gao Yang hadn't brought his own system, he might have been directly executed by Qilin at noon today.

When masters compete with each other, their moves are indeed fatal.

Gao Yang coughed lightly: "Mr. Long, Elder Suzaku and I are here to negotiate a deal with your organization on behalf of the Qilin Union."

"White Rabbit told me." Long raised his hand gently, "Please sit down, both of you."

Suzaku and Gao Yang sat down at the other end of the conference table, the three of them talking more than ten meters apart.

"I heard that you want to exchange rune circuits." Long said.

"We would like to exchange space-time runes with your organization for 17 days."

Long nodded, "That is, after the scarlet tide ends."

"Correct."

"What runes should I exchange for?" Long asked calmly.

"Unfortunately, it's not a miraculous rune." Suzaku said.

Long looked as expected and did not show any disappointment.

Gao Yang quickly answered: "However, we are very sincere."

"Really?" Long blinked, "I'm all ears."

"You can choose one of the strengthening runes and control runes as a trade object. In addition, we will give the auxiliary runes directly to your organization and add 2 gold and black coins." Gao Yang repeated Qilin's original words.Long nodded, his expression unchanged.

Objectively speaking, giving away a rune circuit and 2 gold and black coins for free is indeed sincerity.

Moreover, the Tengu, the only one among the twelve zodiac animals with time and space talents, [Time and Space Cutting] and [Flying] have both been upgraded to level 4, so no one needs time and space runes anymore.

"But one thing is that the auxiliary runes must be loaned to the Baichuan Group within three months. If your organization agrees to this transaction, please fulfill its obligations by then."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he couldn't help but curse: Dr. Su, you are such a thief. Although you gave me an extra rune, you even included such a small advantage.

Long thought for a while: "It's very sincere. I can't find any reason to refuse."

Suzaku tried hard to make his world-weary face look friendly: "What do you mean, Mr. Long?"

"But I can't think of a reason to agree." Long's eyes turned slightly and his voice was cold.

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Long continued: "The strengthening, control and auxiliary runes are currently unavailable to people in our organization."

"This is a rune circuit." Suzaku was a little surprised, "The most valuable asset in the awakening world, the most core resource, who would have too much?"

"Natural is never too much."

Long picked up the coffee on the table and sniffed it gently: "It's just that your Qilin Guild refuses to exchange the miraculous runes. You also expect that our twelve zodiac signs will compromise for a small profit. It's really..."

Suzaku was silent.

Gao Yang remained silent.

Long raised his head slightly, his strange eyes bewitching: "You're too arrogant."

Suddenly, the air flow around him changed subtly, and the familiar feeling of his will being controlled and guided by "gentleness" appeared again.

This time, it wasn't intense, but it couldn't be ignored.

"Mrs. Li hopes that the three major organizations will cooperate. Does your Qilin Union have an answer?" Long asked.

Suzaku's face darkened slightly. She resisted the powerful "mysterious aura" around her. The more she resisted, the more uncomfortable she became.And when she gave up resistance, everything became gentle again, but it made her feel humiliated.

Suzaku knew very well that Long was deliberately provoking, which was why he was dissatisfied with the arrogant behavior of the Qilin Union.

"We decided to cooperate." Suzaku replied solemnly.

In an instant, the mysterious aura disappeared.

Gao Yang and Suzaku breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"In that case, I agree to the exchange." Long leaned back slightly: "The overall situation is more important. Our common crisis is the scarlet tide. There is no need to make trouble over such trivial matters."

"Mr. Long is wise." Zhuquepi smiled.

The clean smile of the young dragon returned to his face: "In addition, when Qiying was still here, I owed him a favor. This rune transaction should be regarded as returning the favor to him."

Gao Yang immediately realized: This was his reward for completing the task of "The moon is so beautiful".

Gao Yang has inherited Gui Ma's [Teleport] and needs time and space runes to upgrade to level 4. How could Long not know this?

It seems that Long has decided from the beginning that no matter what conditions the Qilin Union offers, he will agree to trade the time and space runes because it can help Gao Yang become stronger.

But Long still had to put on a show to let the Qilin Guild know that the twelve zodiac signs were not to be trifled with.

It is indeed a battle between big guys.

After receiving Long's answer, Suzaku secretly breathed a sigh of relief: In any case, the mission assigned by Qilin was completed.

"Then our deal is concluded." Suzaku said.

"Yes."

Long didn't take it seriously and moved on to the next topic, "Time is running out. Since the three major organizations have decided to cooperate, let's invite Mrs. Li and Mr. Qilin to visit the Chinese Zodiac to discuss countermeasures and complete the rune transaction."

Suzaku was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Long, are you sure we can discuss it here? Or should we find a compromise location among the three parties..."

"That's it. I'm a homebody and don't like to go out." Long's tone was natural, but he didn't give Suzaku any room to maneuver.

Suzaku was choked and suppressed the displeasure in his heart: "I want to ask the president for instructions. Wait a moment."
