Chapter 508: This is Robbery!
Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

Although Aamir was the one who had warned Guan Dongyang about Thunder Fire's invasion, he didn't do it because he was altruistic. Marcos was his biggest threat, and therefore, he wished that the war would consume his strength. However, he had never thought that Guan Dongyang would be able to deliver such a huge blow to Marcos and utterly annihilate his heavy METAL unit.

The outcome couldn't be any better for Aamir, since Aamir and the Blizzard had become the strongest faction in the Maersa district without firing even a single shot by himself. After losing his heavy METAL units during the catastrophic defeat, Marcos could no longer compete with the Blizzard.

Aamir knew that if he chose not to purchase these one hundred heavy units, someone else would. So, his best option was to make a deal with the Battle Wolf.

"Hans, how much do they want for them?"

Hans gave him an ugly grin and then said, "They want fifty mid-tier METAL and fifty high-tier METAL in exchange."

"This is robbery!"

"Indeed! I had thought of offering them one hundred mid-tier METAL, and even that would already be a heavy discount out of good-will. But, they asked for fifty high-tier METAL... That is just...ridiculous."

"Guan Dongyang has become brazenly audacious."

"I remember that they had already amassed many mid-tier or above METAL suits during the tournament a few months ago. The Battle Wolf is a small band. It is such a waste for them to horde so many high-quality METAL suits." Hans paused for a second and then continued. "Our reports say that Guan Dongyang is no longer the one in charge of the Battle Wolf. It is someone called furface, and he was the one who has made the ridiculous offer."

"Interesting! Not even Lie Jian or Michaux can make Guan Dongyang listen to them, so how could a no account do that? Who is this...furface?" Aamir's interest was piqued.

"I have investigated him, but all I learned was that he had recently joined Battle wolf. Not only does Guan Dongyang rely on him for almost everything around the camp, all the soldiers, including Ross, respect him as if he was the captain of the band."

"Even Ross? Hmm...I can't imagine that thick skull of his would have room for another leader other than Guan Dongyang."

"Boss, there have been too many strange developments around Battle Wolf, and almost all of these events are related to their new leader. What do you think of this business deal then? In my opinion, this is a bad deal. I wager that Battle Wolf has given us the offer without even consulting the market value of their equipment."

"So, you think we should say no?" Aamir asked.

"Not exactly… We can bargain with them. Meanwhile, I can meet this furface while I am at it. Something tells me that things are more than what meets the eyes."

"What if they don't budge?"

"At least we can try. Hans, you should meet this furface and see if we can trust him." Aamir said as he rubbed his chin.



Ross waited anxiously in the reception room. He knew as well that Wang Tong's asking price was outrageous. If it were up to him making the deal, he would have been very happy if he could get even 100 sets of mid-tier METAL suits. Ross heaved a sigh; although he respected Wang Tong's strength, he sincerely doubted if the mechanic had any aptitude for business. The moment Ross saw Hans' astonished expression when he delivered Wang Tong's offer to him, he knew that this deal was doomed. What was worse, their ridiculous offer would also harm the friendly relationship with Blizzard. Ross had been waiting for half an hour, and he wondered if he should just leave.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the meeting room; it was Hans.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting," Hans said with a smile.

"No worries."

"Your asking price is too high." Han paused, letting the message sink in. Although Ross had been expecting the same answer, the news took the wind out of his sail all the same.

"But..." Hans continued, "our Captain wanted me to pay Guan Dongyang a visit. We haven't seen each other for a long while, and we can take a look at the merchandise while we are at it," Han said politely.

Astonished by Han's decision, hope flashed cross Ross' face.

"Of course, let's set off for Battle Wolf right now." All the while, Ross wondered what difference would it make to see the equipment. They were not going to turn into a pile of gold overnight. Confused, Ross decided to leave the difficult task to Wang Tong.

Meanwhile, in Battle Wolf's war camp, the soldiers worked industriously to sort out the piles of junks into different categories.

While Ye Zi and Lie Xuan stood under the blazing sun, overseeing the progress of the project, Wang Tong found a shade and was taking a snooze.

"Captain, Ross has sent us the news: the adviser of the Blizzard is coming to meet with you about the deal." Castro rushed towards Wang Tong and shouted.

Everyone was shocked by the news as they wondered what had made the Blizzard even consider such a preposterous offer.

Wang Tong made a noise in his sleep that could barely pass for a reply.

Castro closed in and was about to shout in Wang Tong's ears before he was dragged away by Ye Zi.

"He hasn't slept in two days. Let him rest."

"Ye Zi, can you believe it? Even we thought this deal was no different than a robbery, but why did the Blizzard consider it?" Castro asked incredulously. Nonetheless, he hoped that the deal would go through, since that would mean a brand new METAL suit for him.

Although Battle Wolf had reaped fifty high tier METAL suits during the last tournament, Wang Tong had given all of those to the Mastery casters.

"Stop asking so many questions and just do your job. Go help out the others."

"Roger that!"

Ye Zi turned back and glanced at the sleeping Wang Tong as doubts crept into her mind.

"Let's go. You are ogling him again. Haha… I am going to talk to Dongyang. Will you be fine here by yourself?"

"Yes. I don't think captain Guan would ever get up again." Ye Zi jested.

"Stop making fun of me. Don't forget that you also have a sweetheart that you can't forget."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Listen to me Ye Zi, forget about Michaux. He is even more obsessed with his cultivation than Lie Jian. A man like that will never give you happiness. You need to look elsewhere." Lie Xuan nudged Ye Zi towards Wang Tong's direction.

"Oh, you... Stop that." Ye Zi blushed.

"Don't pretend that you are not interested."

Ye Zi shook her head and said: "I am... But, he is too good for me. Plus, we don't have the chemistry between us." Ye Zi would be lying to say that she was not interested in Wang Tong at all.

"What are you talking about? There are many guys like him in this world. He should feel grateful for your feelings toward him." Lie Xuan rose to the comment.

"I don't want to force him. Why don't you deal with your problem and let me handle mine?"

"Fine, fine! I will be going now. Let me know if you need help." Lie Xuan gave up and decided not to press her any longer.

Ye Zi heaved a sigh. Wang Tong's real identity had caught her by surprise. He was the only person to have defeated Michaux and Patroclus. So, If anyone who could bring down Patroclus again, it would be him.
