In Aili's narration, the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps had become a big villain beyond redemption. Seizing this opportunity, they attacked their opposition, attempting to wipe out the Heavenly Fiend Mercenary Corps, their actions were extremely malicious!
Youen did not show much anger. After Aili had finished speaking, Youen looked at Talasha and said calmly, "Boss Ta, I'm sure you also understand what happened. The actions of the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps have touched our Heavenly Fiend's bottom line. Moreover, we had previously signed the septipartite pact, and the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps' actions are a blatant provocation!"
Meika snorted coldly, "All of this is just your side of the story! Who knows the truth of the matter? It's possible that this was all a false flag operation by your own Heavenly Fiend Mercenary Corps, trying to pin the blame on us!"
"Pin the blame? Tyron led an attack against us, seen by everyone at the time! Do you think I would lie to you?" Aili retorted angrily.
Meika glanced at Sandy, who nodded slightly. Aili was not lying!
"Tyron has already been dispatched to attack the Dragon Valor Squad today. For you to say he attacked you is simply ludicrous!" Meika said with disdain.
Talasha frowned, "You attacked the Dragon Valor Squad today? How come I didn't know about that?"
In this sensitive situation, Talasha did not want to get entangled with the Huaxia Military. His greatest wish was to smoothly complete this trade; as for what happened after the deal, even if they fought tooth and nail, it had nothing to do with him!
"Boss Ta, I was the one who agreed to this action!" It was then that Mu Sen stepped forward and said, "Recently, the Huaxia side has been hitting the Golden Triangle harder. I was worried there might be complications, so..."
"Hmph, Mu Sen, you speak as if you're so righteous!" Another leader from the Golden Triangle forces, Kunen, stood up and spoke disdainfully, "If it weren't for your desire to curry favor with the Indian Snake King and provoke the Dragon Valor Squad, why would the Huaxia Military have intensified their focus on us?"
Kunen was the leader of an old power, whereas Mu Sen had seized Lone Wolf's territory and power.
Although Mu Sen now held considerable influence, to Kunen and others, he was seen as an upstart, a figure they disdained. So when Mu Sen stepped forward, Kunen mocked him.
Talasha also frowned, "We and Huaxia Military keep to our own waters. Provoking Huaxia at this time is not a wise decision!"
Mu Sen said gravely, "Boss Ta, Huaxia has always been committed to striking at us in the Golden Triangle. Over the years, many of our people have died at the hands of the Dragon Valor Squad. It's clear that peaceful coexistence between us is impossible! Moreover, this deal is so sensitive. I believe Huaxia must have noticed something. If we don't cut off their strength now, it could jeopardize our trade, and we might suffer greater losses!"
Mu Sen's argument made sense, but in his heart, Talasha was wary of Huaxia. He knew very well how powerful the massive Huaxia was. If Huaxia truly set its sights on crushing the Golden Triangle, the Golden Triangle would no longer exist!
"The issue now isn't whether we should attack the Dragon Valor Squad," Youen said coldly. "It's about the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps attacking our Heavenly Fiend Mercenary Corps. If we don't get an explanation, don't think that we, Heavenly Fiend, are easy to bully!"
As he spoke, Youen glanced at Meika, "If I'm not given a satisfactory response, get ready for war!"
The atmosphere immediately became incredibly tense!
To start a war at this time would be a suicidal move! The trade date was almost upon them. How could Talasha tolerate such an incident!
If the two sides truly went to war here, other underground forces might get involved as well.
"Wait!" Talasha stood up and said, "We in the Golden Triangle will certainly give you justice! Moreover, since we previously signed a septipartite agreement, those who openly violate it now must face the consequences!"
It was clear from Talasha's response that, based on the available evidence, the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps were at a disadvantage. After all, Tyron was one of theirs, and even if there were some misunderstandings, the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps would have to pay up!
In truth, many understood how unlikely it was for the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps to launch an attack at such a critical time.
But as the Heavenly Fiend Mercenary Corps sought to counterattack and representatives from the Golden Triangle like Talasha preferred to keep the peace, other underground forces were watching from the sidelines. To them, the truth of the matter was insignificant. What mattered to them was maintaining stability and ensuring the trade was completed.
Meika frowned, knowing that Talasha was taking sides. As much as it frustrated him, he also realized that, barring any accidents, the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps would not be able to shake off this accusation. If a war broke out, Talasha would definitely not side with the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps!
"If only our Commander were here!" Meika sighed internally. After they arrived in the Golden Triangle, the Commander had gone away to seclude himself! And he hadn't shown up to this day. If it weren't for their near-blind worship of the Commander, they might even suspect that something had happened to him!
"The Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps must bear the main responsibility in this matter!" Talasha said sternly. "I will deduct thirty percent of the commission from the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps and give it to the Heavenly Fiend Mercenary Corps. Do you have any objections?"
To be fair, this decision was quite sensible. Youen also knew that going to war now was nearly impossible. Thirty percent of the commission from the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps was a sizable amount.
Youen and Aili exchanged glances, then nodded, showing their approval of the outcome.
Meika clenched his teeth in fury. Thirty percent of the commission amounted to several million US dollars, slipping through his fingers just like that. How could he possibly be content?
"If there are no objections, then this issue..."
"No objections? Who said there were no objections?" Just then, a deep voice entered the room, and a glint of elation flashed in Meika and others' eyes. It was the Commander's voice!
The door to the conference room opened, and a tall and burly middle-aged man appeared before everyone.
"Commander Zhao, I think you're unaware of the nuances here!" Talasha stood up and said sternly, "I believe this is the best outcome possible!"
"I am quite aware!" the middle-aged man said coldly. Then he looked at Youen, a savage smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Not to mention this isn't the doing of our Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, even if it were us, what could you do about it? Not eradicating you all root and branch, are you thinking we are too lenient?"
