Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 330 Negotiations

"Friend, since you're here, why not show yourself?"

The clone was startled; he never expected to be discovered. Jing Chen, on the other hand, also received permission from the main body, and the clone slowly appeared.

The clone could clearly see that the Dragon Princess raised an eyebrow slightly the moment he appeared.

"To be able to detect my presence, I must say, the Klaxosaur Princess truly lives up to her reputation," the clone exclaimed.

"You flatter me," Princess Dragon said coldly.

The clone said, "Since Your Highness summoned me, is it just for a chat? Your Highness, please speak frankly if you have something to say."

"I still don't know your name, my friend," Princess Dragon asked.

The clone chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you may call me Zero."

"Zero, is that right?" The Dragon Princess nodded and said, "Zero, your ability to infiltrate our base so silently demonstrates your strength, so why are you aiding and abetting evil?"

"Aiding the wicked? No, no, no, you've only seen the surface. In reality, that's not the case," the clone said.

"But I've heard the details," said Princess Dragon.

The clone said, "I'm actually more like someone who infiltrated their ranks to gather information. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Only by understanding their true nature can I prescribe the right medicine and strike a fatal blow!"

"Oh?" Princess Dragon raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat interested.

The clone continued, "I've almost finished gathering the information; all that's left is the final preparation stage. Does Your Majesty have any further questions?"

The dragon princess rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "Zero, have you ever considered collaborating with me?"

"Cooperation?" The clone was somewhat puzzled; he didn't understand what the Dragon Princess meant.

The Klaxosaur Princess said, "I sense the blood of our Klaxosaur race within you. You must have seen that Strelitzia, right? I need your cooperation to pilot that Strelitzia!"

The clone raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Oh? There must be many people who want to ride the Strelitzia with Her Highness, right? Why does it have to be me, Your Highness?"

Princess Knapsack sighed and said, "Although my people are numerous, their bloodline concentration is generally low, so there are practically none who can pilot the dragon with me."

The clone then asked, "Then why is Your Highness so certain that I will be able to pilot the vehicle alongside you?"

"I don't know, it's just a feeling. I just feel that if it were you, you would definitely be able to drive the Strelitzia with me," said Princess Dragon.

The clone said, "I'm sorry, I cannot agree."

Upon hearing this, Princess Dragon frowned and said to her clone, "Zero, since that's the case, then I'll settle accounts with you."

"Settle accounts? I'd better listen carefully." The clone raised an eyebrow and laughed.

The dragon princess asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

The clone shrugged and said, "So what if I'm afraid? What can I do? I can run, but can I escape? This is Her Highness's territory. I can't run away even if I wanted to."

Princess Klaxosaur nodded. "That's true. Are you sure you don't want to cooperate with me? If you don't, then you'll have to pay for my people's lives!"

The clone laughed loudly, "Pay with your life? Hahahaha, Your Highness, it's not that I'm being arrogant, but the last one who made me pay with my life is already buried under three-meter-high grass!"

Princess Knausa was instantly enraged. She slammed her hand on the armrest of her chair, stood up abruptly, and glared angrily at her clone.

How could the clone possibly be afraid? The clone simply smiled calmly and said, "Your Highness, if you begged me sincerely, I might consider agreeing. However, Your Highness's attitude greatly displeases me, so I absolutely cannot agree!"

Princess Klaxosaur roared, "Today you have witnessed the full military power of my Klaxosaur clan. If you had cooperated with me, you could have left alive. But not only have you refused to cooperate, you have also stolen all our military strength. Therefore, I cannot let you leave now!"

As he spoke, several spheres suddenly fell into the palace, instantly transforming into Klaxosaurs upon landing. Two more Klaxosaurs appeared at the entrance. There were three in front and two behind, five Klaxosaurs completely surrounding the clone.

The clone chuckled and looked at the dragon princess behind him, saying, "Your Highness, to be honest, I really don't want to fight them, because if I do, they'll all die! And if I do, this place will definitely be torn down! If you want me to tear this place down, you can let them do it anytime."

The clone stood with its arms crossed, looking on with amusement. Princess Knapsack didn't doubt the truth of the clone's words at all. She had witnessed Jing Chen's previous battles, and she had seen the battle at that Great Ecological Fortress clearly. She knew how strong Jing Chen's fighting power was.

Princess Knife Dragon pondered. If she forcibly kept the clone, she had a certain chance of succeeding, but her losses would be greater. Although, as long as she could keep the clone, no matter how great the loss, it would actually be considered a worthwhile outcome.

Jing Chen's abilities already revealed that his true value was far greater than it appeared on the surface; he possessed far more potential value that she was unaware of. Moreover, her woman's intuition told her that Jing Chen was definitely not as simple as he seemed!

She could risk everything to forcefully leave behind a clone, but what if she couldn't? Had she offended someone who could completely sway the battlefield?

Seeing the Dragon Princess deep in thought, the clone wasn't in a hurry. It sat in the air, crossed its legs, and quietly watched the Dragon Princess, waiting for her choice.

The clone was well aware that if the Dragon Princess insisted on keeping him there, he might not be able to leave. With his current strength, it would be very difficult for him to fight the entire Dragon Clan single-handedly. Besides, his main body wouldn't allow him to make a move.

"Let him go." After a long while, the dragon princess finally made her choice.

Rather than offending someone who can influence the course of the battle, it's better to let him go. Although she doesn't know if her clone will owe her a favor, at least she won't offend her clone.

For her, whether her clone joins the battle or not won't have a significant impact on her plans. However, whether her clone joins the battle and which side it chooses is extremely important.

If her clone chooses to join her battle, her plan will proceed more smoothly. But if the clone joins the enemy's battle, whether her plan can proceed normally remains a mystery.

The clone had already guessed Princess Klaxosaur's thoughts, waved playfully at her, and turned to slowly walk out of the palace.

Watching the departing clone, the Dragon Princess seemed lost in thought...
