Chapter 407 - You Have Been Abandoned
Lin Fan’s words really confused Chi Xiao.
He didn’t know what that kid was talking about.
However, it definitely wasn’t anything nice.
Chi Xiao’s entire face blocked the screen such that Lin Fan couldn’t see what was going on from his side. At the same time, he told the Alliance members to tidy the infomation about Lin Fan.
This kid had to be wiped out; he couldn’t be left alive.
However, when Iron Dragon knelt down to the side, his mental state nearly exploded.
A nine-star general was just kneeling down on the ground like that. Where was the pride in all of this?
Did Lin Fan even respect the Alliance at all?
Chi Xiao suppressed the rage in his heart. “Lin Fan, just say any request that you have. As a nine-star general, naturally, we want to keep Iron Dragon alive, but I hope that you can see the situation you are in. The Alliance definitely wouldn’t agree to absurd requests.
Since this was the situation, what else could he do?
Iron Dragon was not weak either. He was at Dao Realm stage two, so no one expected him to be defeated so badly to the point of kneeling on the ground.
If he hadn’t seen it personally, he definitely wouldn’t have believed it.
Lin Fan knew that the Alliance wouldn’t let their nine-star general die here. Nine-star generals weren’t cabbage and one dead meant that there would be one less. Moreover, during the You City battle, numerous nine-star generals had been sacrificed.
The other defense cities chose to proactively strike the Alliance’s camp and they killed some generals over on their side.
This was why the Alliance paid a really heavy price to break through into the Rich Land.
Since Chi Xiao was willing to negotiate, then it was indeed possible for him to have a good chat with him.
“Before talking about heavy topics, let me give you a finger heart.” Lin Fan raised his hands and did a finger heart.
When he saw such insulting actions, Chi Xiao was furious.
He took in a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart. He then said, “Can you be more serious? If you don’t want to talk, then we won’t. The Alliance will definitely not let you off.”
Lin Fan shook his head, “That is a bummer. Can’t you even take a joke? Relax, you don’t have to worry too much. I don’t care whether or not you let me off. Even if you do, I am not willing to let all of you off.”
Chi Xiao frowned. What a difficult person, he was not as easy to deal with compared to normal young people.
Till now, they hadn’t had any practical or useful interactions, it was just Lin Fan angering Chi Xiao.
He didn’t say anything insulting but his attitude and tone made one feel really annoyed.
Iron Dragon who was kneeling on the ground said, “As an Alliance nine-star general, I am not afraid of dying. If the Alliance suffers losses to keep me alive, then I would rather die.”
He was really valiant and righteous, willing to sacrifice himself for the Alliance.
When the people over at the Alliance heard these words, they were filled with respect towards him. They wanted to roar out in rage and they wanted the whole world to see that this was a nine-star general of the Alliance.
He didn’t fear death!
Lin Fan said, “If you really aren’t afraid of death, then why don’t you just knock into the wall and die? What is the point of saying all of this?”
Iron Dragon raised his head and looked at Lin Fan.
Damn!
He didn’t care about Lin Fan. He just lowered his head and didn’t say much.
This kid was just too much. In just a short conversation, he told him to knock the wall and die? Have you ever seen a Dao Realm expert who could die from knocking into a wall?
If that was really possible, then why don’t you try?
However, he was too lazy to say anything more.
Anyway, it was useless to say much more. Now, it was Chi Xiao who was talking to Lin Fan, and what happened next would depend on the conversation.
Chi Xiao was satisfied with what Iron Dragon said and felt like it was how an Alliance nine-star general would behave. He said, “Lin Fan, stop wasting time. Just make your request. The Alliance Headquarters will not give up on any of our commoners.”
“Since that is the case, then I won’t talk any nonsense with you. I heard that your techniques are decent. I don’t have much of a request. Just give me 100 techniques and I can release them.” Lin Fan said.
The air suddenly froze.
One could hear the sound of a pin drop over at the Alliance. All of them opened their mouths wide like they didn’t expect him to say such a request.
In their eyes, this native kid was really greedy.
Not only were Chi Xiao and the others stunned but even Iron Dragon was stunned too.
He really wanted to shout out loud that Lin Fan was just dreaming.
But for some reason, he suddenly wanted to see how the Alliance would reply.
Maybe this was Iron Dragon wanting to know how important he was in the hearts of others.
Chi Xiao laughed coldly, “Kid, don’t you think your request is too much? If you have no desire to negotiate, then don’t waste time. 100 nine-star general techniques, you really have the balls to ask.”
That was out of hand. That was really too much.
He didn’t even know how this kid had the face to make such a request.
Chi Xiao wasn’t a fool.
Even if they gave 100 techniques to him, he might not release Iron Dragon.
“This is my one and only request. If the Alliance can’t do it, then there is no point in negotiating.” Lin Fan said, “Hais, how sad. A Dao Realm stage two Alliance nine-star general actually can’t compare to these techniques.”
Iron Dragon looked at Lin Fan’s face and really wanted to burst his head open.
100 techniques really sounded very simple from his mouth.
If they really gave it to him, then they would be strengthening the enemy.
Chi Xiao said, “Lin Fan, there is no need for you to say such words to rile him up. I can’t give you 100. I can give at most 10, but it has to be face to face. Otherwise, how will I know whether you will go against it?”
Lin Fan smiled. He obviously knew what Chi Xiao was planning.
“I realized that your Alliance is so despicable. You can even ask for a face to face trade. Can you guys have some shame? I am familiar with all your tricks. Don’t you just want to meet me and kill me?”
“Do you really think that I am as dumb as you?”
“Stop talking so much. It depends on whether or not each of us are sincere. Just tell me the details of the techniques through the video call.”
Lin Fan lacked many techniques, especially those of the Dao Realm. He just wanted to get as many as he could but he felt like it was impossible to get them from Chi Xiao.
With how cunning the Alliance was, they were on the same level as him. Wait no, the righteous Lin Fan couldn’t match up with the cunning Alliance.
Iron Dragon felt really sad.
Iron Dragon felt like they were delaying time. Chi Xiao didn’t think of a way to save him and this kid also didn’t have any plans of letting him go.
It was like both sides were trying to trap one another.
Chi Xiao asked, “Then, how do I know whether you will keep to your word?”
Lin Fan said, “Do I look like a dishonest person?”
The atmosphere felt really suppressed.
There was no way for the conversation to continue.
Lin Fan ran the conversation down into the ground and didn’t give them anything to say.
Chi Xiao kept silent for a long while before saying, “If that is the case, then I don’t think that we have much to talk about. You don’t trust the Alliance, so how can the Alliance trust you.”
“General Iron Dragon, what do you want to say?”
Iron Dragon’s gaze was a little lost. He felt that the situation was a bit off. With what Chi Xiao said, it seemed he wasn’t prepared to save him.
If he really wanted to save him, he wouldn’t speak so much nonsense.
What do you want to say?
That was a really complex problem.
He kept saying that he was willing to give up his life for the Alliance, but that would depend on the scenario. If it was just for techniques, then that was totally unneeded and his death wasn’t worth it at all.
“Chi Xiao, I will follow your decision.” Iron Dragon pushed the problem to Chi Xiao. He wouldn’t make a decision about his own life. “I have not yet brought victory for the Alliance. I thought that I would have been able to die while opening up a new pathway for the Alliance. Who knew that I would actually die because of this kid? I really don’t want to.”
Damn, as expected, that was really the case.
Chi Xiao knew what Iron Dragon was thinking. This old fellow’s words sounded nice, but actually, deep down he really wasn’t willing to die.
But he definitely wouldn’t believe that Lin Fan would stick to his word. Even if he gave the secret technique to Lin Fan, Lin Fan would really kill Iron Dragon.
This was a nine-star general, not a random person. A dead nine-star general would be a huge loss to the Alliance. As long as the native had a brain, he wouldn’t release that person.
Moreover, the Alliance wasn’t prepared to keep to their promise either.
If the Alliance really met Lin Fan face to face to trade the person and the techniques, he would definitely kill this person or capture him to threaten Lin Wanyi.
“Chi Xiao, I am too lazy to waste time with you. I will only give you 10 seconds. If you are willing, then give it to me, otherwise, I will send him on his way on behalf of the Alliance.” Lin Fan said.
“Let the countdown begin.”
“10…”
Iron Dragon panicked and his heart was beating quickly in trepidation. Lin Fan pressed down with his palm to suppress all the energy surging out of Iron Dragon’s body so that none of it could be released.
Over on the side of the Alliance.
“General Chi Xiao, are we really not saving Iron Dragon?” Xiao Hu asked.
Chi Xiao replied, “Do you think that if we give him the techniques he will be honest and release Iron Dragon? Stop dreaming. You know how cunning they are. If they were really so foolish, then the Alliance wouldn’t have had to sacrifice so many nine-star generals.”
“Each nine-star general’s technique is really precious. If we give it to them, they can find our weaknesses from it. When that happens, not only will we lose Iron Dragon, but we will also make them stronger.”
Xiao Hu kept silent. General Chi Xiao’s words made sense but he felt unwilling to just abandon Iron Dragon like that.
“Xiao Hu, sometimes we have to make sacrifices. Although this is a huge loss for the Alliance, I believe that they are ready to make that sacrifice.”
“We just need to remember that dying for the Alliance is an honor.”
Pata!
Chi Xiao lifted his hand and cut off the connection.
Black screen.
Lin Fan looked at Iron Dragon before raising his hand and pointing at the screen, “They have given up on you.”
Iron Dragon’s pupils constricted like he didn’t expect Chi Xiao to give up on him so quickly.
This was different from what he had expected.
“That is impossible.” Iron Dragon really didn’t know how to react.
Lin Fan said, “Nothing is impossible but maybe to the Alliance Headquarters, your value is just in laying out this equipment. If anything happens they will definitely abandon you. They won’t place any hopes on all of you.”
Iron Dragon didn’t reply to Lin Fan.
He was shouting in his heart.
That was impossible.
I have done so much for the Alliance, so how can they just abandon me like that?
