Shen Fei smiled and said, "So it’s General Steve."

Though his tone was slightly more gentle, the burly man’s foot was still placed on Reid’s head, ready to crush it at any time.

"Help... help me."

Reid hurriedly shouted. Mr. Pierre had already been stopped, and another Tier Nine might also be covertly monitored.

Only Linmao Bear’s Tier Nine could now possibly stop Shen Fei.

Moreover, Linmao Bear was still in a honeymoon phase with Wu Xia, so Shen Fei would definitely show respect to Linmao Bear.

But Reid had no idea about Stevsky’s thoughts.

If Steve wasn’t aware that Shen Fei had at least Half-step Emperor strength.

Perhaps he could bring up the relationship between Wu Xia and Linmao Bear.

But now with Shen Fei’s strength, coupled with Shen Fei’s identity, Reid didn’t even know how esteemed Shen Fei’s status was in Wu Xia. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Now, matched with his strength.

It could be said.

Even Steve had to handle things carefully, realizing why the Breaking Abyss Army would put in so much effort.

There were even Tier Tens climbing up the holy mountain for him, and not just one, but two.

Therefore, Stevsky didn’t dare to say anything harsh, only cautiously said, "Shen Xingzou, this time let overall situation be the priority.

If you have any requests, feel free to make them."

Reid definitely must not die on their frontline; if he died in Ice Abyss, it had nothing to do with them.

But if he died here on the defense line, America couldn’t trouble Shen Fei, but it could trouble them.

"Earlier I told him to kneel and apologize, but he was unwilling and planned to let his Summoned Beast kill me.

I was merely defending myself; surely it’s not my fault."

"Naturally, it’s not your fault," Stevsky quickly said, privately noting this wasn’t good.

This Shen Fei is no pushover; wasn’t it said Wu Xia’s young people all put great importance on the big picture?

Why is it that Shen Fei is completely unmoved?

"I...already apologized." Reid’s voice was filled with weakness, his face already covered in bloodstains, no longer holding the previous arrogance and composure.

Only disgrace and humiliation remained.

"If you had apologized in the beginning, it would’ve been fine, but the fighting has already started.

It’s not like you can start it whenever you want, and end it just by apologizing, right?"

Shen Fei looked to Steve and asked.

"Whatever you want, I can give it to you, I can give it all."

"In that case, as the fee for my action, I am at least Tier Nine, bring out at least a Tier Nine Legendary Item as a service fee."

Shen Fei’s words left everyone present stunned, even Pierre.

What a lion’s demand, many here had only heard of, but never seen, a Tier Nine Legendary Item.

Pierre, constantly fending off the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s onslaught, felt increasingly shocked.

This Summoned Beast is probably not just Half-step Emperor strength, what’s with Shen Fei anyway?

Initially, seeing Stevsky stepping in to mediate, Pierre thought making some concessions wasn’t impossible.

But upon hearing Shen Fei’s outright demand for a Tier Nine Legendary Item.

They could provide it, but the cost was too high, directly responding, "Impossible."

"Alright."

Shen Fei nodded and looked down at Reid, saying, "Seems you’re not worth that price."

"Kill him then."

"Wait, wait!! Mr. Pierre, quickly give it to him, and when we return I’ll have Grandfather give it to you!"

Reid shouted desperately.

Reid was so terrified that he nearly wet his pants; he felt the big foot stepping on his head was starting to exert force.

All his Summoned Beasts had perished, rendering his Substitute Death Technique ineffective.

If he died, he would truly die.

As for any Tier Nine Legendary Item, nothing was more precious than his life.

"This is robbery!"

Pierre couldn’t believe Reid agreed to give a Tier Nine Legendary Equipment to Shen Fei.

He couldn’t help but shout in anger.

"Quickly!"

Reid shouted, "If you don’t act, and I die here, my grandfather will definitely trouble you."

Pierre’s face turned livid; though he was Tier Nine, in front of a Tier Ten, he was at most a competent subordinate.

Even if he was definitely more useful than Reid, who could fathom a Tier Ten’s intentions?

If Lord Ao really blamed him for this, he was out of options.

"Mr. Pierre, the big picture is the priority, the big picture is the priority."

Stevsky said loudly, clearly understanding Shen Fei wouldn’t relent without some benefit.

If Reid died here, causing another upheaval in Linmao Bear’s already unstable nation.

Better to save this guy, even if it costs a Tier Nine.

Pierre’s face was ashen as he pondered for a moment, a staff appeared in his hand, upon which two lifelike True Dragons seemed to be climbing.

The heads of the dragons were at either end of the staff, and their tails entwined at the midpoint of the stick.

He said coldly, "This is the Tier Nine Legendary Equipment, Coiling Dragon Staff."

"Catch."

Pierre snorted coldly, the staff in his hand transformed into a shadow and flew towards Shen Fei, aiming directly at his forehead.

But Shen Fei easily caught it.

"Not bad."

Shen Fei put it into the [Nine Realms] and looked at Reid, "It seems your status is still worth something."

Listening to Shen Fei’s words, Reid felt an overwhelming sadness and rage. From his profession’s inception until now, he had never heard such words treating him like merchandise to be traded.

Yet, he didn’t dare show any dissatisfaction on his face.

He finally understood why the families in America wanted to bring this guy into their clans.

This is simply a freak who doesn’t belong to this era.

As Reid was about to stand up, he realized the big foot pressed on his forehead was still weighing down on him like a heavy mountain.

Pierre said coldly, "Are you planning to extort directly? If that’s the case, none of us will proceed with this operation."

Stevsky, hearing Pierre’s words, also looked at Shen Fei, "Shen Xingzou, this..."

"Don’t worry."

Shen Fei said with a smile, "I am so magnanimous that I can spare the lives of those who directly provoke me. Indeed, it’s a great merit."

"But you."

"I only took one Tier Nine Legend from you and let you off easily, considering General Steve’s face.

We from Wu Xia are a nation of etiquette, but you can’t disregard manners."

"Did you say thank you?"

Reid was stunned, wondering what kind of robber logic this was.

All his Summoned Beasts were dead and would need a day before they could be summoned again.

It meant that he would stay within the defense line for the entire day.

On the first day of action, he couldn’t go out, yet he paid a Tier Nine Legendary Equipment.

This guy... actually made him say thank you!

Absurd!

Absurd!

Reid’s gaze was filled with humiliation, and being treated as the center of attention, he had never suffered such degradation, not being treated as a provocateur.

But being trampled on like a slave.

However, Reid remained silent for a while; saving face is ultimately less important than life. As long as he’s alive, there’s still a chance for revenge.

"Th... thank you!"

The overwhelming humiliation made Reid’s eyes bloodshot, biting his jaw so tightly that even his teeth were about to break.

"Not bad, the teaching of the Tron Clan is indeed good."

Shen Fei motioned the big man to remove his foot from Reid’s head.

"Take your men away."

Shen Fei said blandly to Pierre, as Pierre stared at Shen Fei, scooped up the nearly unconscious Reid without saying a word.

He left directly.

As the matter concluded, everyone suddenly snapped back to reality, their eyes meeting those beside them, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

This is crazy.

This guy directly extorted the heavenly pride of a major family in America, succeeded, and got away scot-free.

Yet Shen Fei acted as though nothing had happened.

Stevsky couldn’t help but say, "I urge Shen Xingzou to prioritize the bigger picture. Best not to let such incidents happen again."

"If he hadn’t come looking for trouble himself, I wouldn’t have bothered hitting him, dirtying my hands."

"I’m not the kind of person who loves disputes."

Shen Fei signaled Stevsky to ease his mind.

Upon hearing Shen Fei’s latter words, Stevsky smiled bitterly, for he already knew the truth of the matter.

Reid merely sneered twice, and instantly, Shen Fei retaliated without saying a word.

The act was immediate, just embodying the notion of immediate revenge.

And right there.

As for not loving disputes.

He didn’t even debate further verbally, just acted directly. This is called not being confrontational.

However, Stevsky had no choice but to respond to Shen Fei’s words, "I will remind them not to provoke Shen Xingzou."

"Rest assured, it won’t happen again."
