Chapter 62: Chapter 59 The Name of the Special Envoy
"You... what will it take for you to release Ze’Er?" Du Kui’s stance was no longer as tough as it was at the beginning.
"An apology." Wang Xu said, "My friend Li Lian suffered because of your dear grandson, lying in a hospital in pain. I want him to personally apologize to my friend."
Wang Xu recounted how Du Ze had people break Li Lian’s legs and throw him into prison, and the room instantly fell silent.
Du Kui’s face turned from green to white; he was a man of status, yet his raised grandson was ruthless and committed all sorts of evil deeds, causing him to lose face.
"Fine." Du Kui took a deep breath. "I promise you, as long as you let Ze’Er go, I will personally take him to apologize to your friend."
"Grandfather! Don’t agree to it!" Du Ze shouted defiantly.
"Shut up!" Du Kui glared at Du Ze, fuming inside. If not for his disappointing grandson, how would he have ended up in this situation?
Wang Xu beckoned, signaling Jin Tun and Ghost Strategist to come over.
The two exchanged a glance and stepped forward.
"My two friends were once deceived by Young Master Du, suffering great losses. Old Mr. Du, what do you suggest is the right course of action?" Wang Xu asked.
Du Kui’s expression darkened: "Young man, knowing when to stop is best."
The Du family going personally to apologize to a civilian was already a loss of face, yet Wang Xu still wouldn’t release him and wanted to meddle further, leaving Du Kui extremely displeased.
Crack!
"Ah—" Du Ze’s arm was crushed, blood and flesh blurred.
"You’re courting death!" Du Kui’s eyes turned red, attempting again to rush at Wang Xu. Wang Xu flipped his hand, and the Thunderous Saber suddenly appeared with a chilling gaze. Du Kui hesitated for a moment and ultimately couldn’t muster the courage to advance.
"Fine, I agree to your terms, the contracts for your two friends will continue to be fulfilled." Du Kui conceded, "You have nothing else, do you?"
Wang Xu smiled: "Nothing for now."
Du Kui breathed a sigh of relief; though the two matters dealt a blow to the Du family’s reputation, as long as his grandson’s life was intact, that was enough.
"Wang Xu, wait." Suddenly, White Sword, who had been silent and deep in thought, spoke up.
Du Kui turned to look, and White Sword gave him an apologetic glance before approaching Wang Xu and whispering something in his ear.
White Sword’s actions made Du Kui’s heart thump; could it be that he...?
"I’ve changed my mind. I’ve heard that Old Mr. Du often has trade relations with the Extreme Ancient Hall. Regarding the Deep Blue Ore Vein, I hope you can give preference to my Extreme Ancient Hall. What do you think?"
With these words, Du Kui knew he hadn’t guessed wrong.
"White Sword, despite our many years of friendship, you actually do such a lowly thing!" Du Kui said angrily.
White Sword clasped his hands together, apologetically saying, "The Deep Blue Ore Vein holds great significance to my Extreme Ancient Hall, and I have no choice but to resort to this unwise strategy."
The Deep Blue Ore Vein is a rare mineral resource, extremely limited; once discovered, it’s one less, holding significant importance to various forces, and competition is fiercely intense.
The Du family, as the discoverer, possesses trading rights. The three major powers have already visited several times to vie for the trading rights, negotiating for a long time, naturally inflating the price, causing the Freedom Alliance to opt out, leaving only the military and Extreme Ancient Hall still contending.
Now, with the Du family having reached an agreement with the military, White Sword had to seize this opportunity to pressurize Du Kui.
"I can agree to the first two matters, but the Deep Blue Ore Vein is of great significance, and I can’t disregard the bigger picture for one person. This matter is non-negotiable!" Du Kui resolutely rejected.
"Grandfather!" Du Ze said in terror.
If he was initially arrogant, believing he would be safe with his grandfather there, when Wang Xu crushed his arm in front of everyone and his grandfather could only endure in silence, Du Ze realized that this young man before him was not simple, possessing power that even the Du family feared!
"I can agree to your first two conditions, but no matter what, the last one is out of the question. If you disagree, then kill Ze’Er. I’ll contact the military later and get an explanation from them." Du Kui said gloomily.
White Sword sighed, and Three-Eyed and Silver Armor looked at each other, dejected. With the military involved, it seemed there was no room for maneuver.
Du Kui was resolute in not yielding and brought up the military to exert pressure on Wang Xu.
However, Du Kui underestimated Wang Xu’s ruthlessness.
With Wang Xu in a state of fury, recalling Li Lian’s near-death condition, his anger surged. Immediately, his hand squeezed again.
Du Ze’s other arm was promptly crushed, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
Du Kui’s eye twitched uncontrollably, forcing down the boiling rage inside, gritting his teeth as he stared at Wang Xu.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached from outside the door. freewebnøvel_com
Soon after, a group of men and women in suits and ties barged into the room, stunned at seeing so many people there.
"Sirus, who are they?" Wang Xu asked, noting the blond, blue-eyed man at the front.
Sirus placed his hand on his chest and said, "Special Envoy, these are officials from the Second Safe Zone, who came to visit upon hearing of your arrival."
The group nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Special Envoy? Who are you calling Special Envoy?" Du Kui’s expression gradually changed as he asked.
A Special Envoy is a second-layer figure among the three major forces, belonging to the Core Area. Each one is a Tier Nine Peak expert, wielding immense power.
The Du Family, in the eyes of the Special Envoy, could be swept away with a wave of the hand, not even amounting to a speck of dust!
Therefore, the Special Envoy must not be offended and must be flattered. If he could establish some form of relationship, his status would transform dramatically!
"This young man here is precisely the Special Envoy that Mr. Du was speaking of." Wang Xu said with a smile.
Du Kui’s pupils suddenly shrank, his legs buckled, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Finished... finished...
In an instant, Du Kui felt as if the entire sky had darkened.
How could it be possible? A small Tier Seven individual was actually the Special Envoy?
White Sword, Three-Eyed, Silver Armor, Jin Tun, and Ghost Calculator were dumbfounded. White Sword and the others belonged to the Extreme Ancient Hall and knew a new Special Envoy had been appointed, but they didn’t know his identity or appearance. Moreover, the Special Envoy always appeared mysteriously, so how could he intersect with them?
But unexpectedly, Wang Xu turned out to be the newly appointed Special Envoy, and he was merely Tier Seven!
Jin Tun and Ghost Calculator did not belong to the Extreme Ancient Hall, but the term "Special Envoy" was familiar as thunder. This was a big figure from the Core Area, high in authority, a peak strongman towering over all!
And this strongman... turned out to be Wang Xu?
"Wait! Wait!" Du Kui snapped out of his reverie, his expression changed dramatically, and he called out repeatedly, "I agree to hand over the trading rights of the Deep Blue Ore Vein to the Extreme Ancient Hall and can sign the contract right now. I hope the Special Envoy can be magnanimous and spare my grandson!"
Du Kui realized what kind of person he had offended and immediately took back his previous words, eagerly handing over the trading rights of the Deep Blue Ore Vein to the Extreme Ancient Hall.
To this, White Sword, Three-Eyed, and the others were not surprised at all.
The identity of the Special Envoy represents life and death power, represents High-Class humans, represents strength and background!
That is reality, cruel reality!
With just a word from the Special Envoy, the Du Family would cease to exist, and no one would stand up for the Du Family, because it was the Special Envoy’s word.
Of course, you can seek revenge against the Special Envoy, but after that, what you will face is the wrath of the Venerable!
There was once a renowned grand family that had an Ultimate Venerable Level strongman, and they acted unreasonably, completely disregarding the Special Envoy, even killing him.
On the second day, Luo came personally.
On the third day, this grand family was no more, disappearing without a trace overnight.
Daring to act against the Special Envoy was equivalent to slapping the face of a powerful force. If you’ve torn the face, would you still spare anything?
Du Kui acknowledged it, accepting the defeat sincerely.
He now only prayed that Wang Xu would keep his word and spare Du Ze. If Wang Xu killed Du Ze in a fit of anger, Du Ze would have died for nothing, without even the chance for revenge. The reason was only one — he is the Special Envoy!
Wang Xu’s lips curled up. He knew Du Kui understood the gravity of the situation and was thoroughly convinced. He did not intend to rush to exterminate them, casually tossing Du Ze, who landed in the corner, his limbs fractured, unconscious from the pain.
"Today I spare your grandson’s life. If he recovers and remains unrepentant, I do not mind removing a scourge from this world." Wang Xu left a word and turned to leave.
Du Kui, trembling with fear, decided in his heart that once Du Ze recovered, he would not let him leave the house even half a step until his temperament changed.
Today, they offended the Special Envoy and narrowly escaped with their lives. If tomorrow they offended another major figure, not only Du Ze but presumably the entire Du Family would have to accompany them in the grave!
...
After Li Lian’s matter was concluded, Wang Xu returned to the Seventh Safe Zone to be with his parents.
Soon, the Du Family, led by Du Kui, over seventy family members came to personally apologize to Li Lian.
Jin Tun and Ghost Calculator also took this opportunity to successfully finalize the first contract. Many grand families, hearing that Golden Shield Company had connections with the Special Envoy, were eager to cooperate with Jin Tun.
White Sword successfully secured the trading rights of the Deep Blue Ore Vein, completing his last task before retiring. The Extreme Ancient Hall gave him extremely generous rewards, and even a Venerable personally came to thank him and bid him farewell.
For half a month, Wang Xu was continuously going on arranged dates. Wang Zhenguo was busy trying to find a good wife for his son, arranging five dates a day, much to Wang Xu’s embarrassment.
Whoo~
The silver white Flying Battleship hovered and rose, with his parents waving vigorously at Wang Xu from the garden.
"You rascal, half a month and not a single one clicked with you. When you come back next holiday, I’ll find a better one for you!" Wang Zhenguo shouted.
"Dad, don’t worry, I’ll bring back a girlfriend for you!" Wang Xu replied with a smile.
During the half month, Wang Xu had looked for Tang Yan, but she had not returned to the Tang Family. When he asked where she had gone, everyone said they didn’t know, so Wang Xu had to give up.
The door of the cabin slowly closed, and the Flying Battleship rose high into the sky, cutting through the air as it went.
...
"Wang Xu! Quickly, something big has happened!" Just as he got off the Flying Battleship, a Light Computer communication request came in; it was Knife Tip.
"What happened?" Wang Xu asked.
"The Warship Ruins! The Warship Ruins have opened!" Knife Tip shouted.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xu’s face changed dramatically.
"The Seventh Earth Restricted Area has opened?"
