Chapter 1618: Threat (1/2)

The fowl didn’t reply to Li Qiye’s calculation and only stared coldly at him. After a while, it finally spoke: “Crow, even if you are right about us having two hundred in our inventory, so what? We had to save each crystal from one generation to another, too reluctant to use them ourselves! The two hundred pieces are our hard-earned yield, our lives, and our nest’s support. We will definitely not agree to you taking half of our life.”

The fowl was adamant about not giving Li Qiye one hundred crystals.

Li Qiye smiled in response: “I know that it wasn’t easy for you all to save this many crystal. It’s not easy for me either but it’s the truth. I want one hundred!”

“Crow, we can only give you twenty at best, this is our limit.” The fowl said coldly: “If you don’t want that, fine, we’ll be done here. I know that you are quite incredible and no one can endure your wrath but keep on pus.h.i.+ng it and we’ll go down together.”

“We’re not your match in a one on one but don’t forget, we’re a nest. Force the issue and we’ll use our entire reserves, risk our old lives to take you down!”

“We might not be able to kill you but if we go all out, you will not necessarily be able to defeat us either. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, control your greed and follow the previous agreement or we’ll have to stop!”

After said his last words, the fowl was very heated and angry.

“You can try then.” Li Qiye said flatly: “I’m not here to negotiate, one hundred is a must. Even if you don’t give it, I’ll flatten your coop and take all the crystals away!”

Li Qiye had a firm att.i.tude to match the fowl’s.

“Crow, you are saying you want a war against our mine?” The fowl glowered at him.

“That depends on your att.i.tude.” Li Qiye replied: “In short, you all will have to pay a great price in this generation. There is no free lunch in the world. I have brought peace to your mine so if you want to maintain this serenity, you must pay. This is how it should be.”

“Crow, don’t forget, we have always paid up and you have always gotten crystals from us but you are going too far this time.” The fowl strongly answered.

“It’s different in this generation. I will go on the offensive this time but before the final battle, I must take care of a few G.o.ds and emperors that have always been causing trouble. Because of this, I need the resources to trample all the obstacles so that I can focus on the fight battle!” Li Qiye explained calmly.

“That’s your problem, it has nothing to do with us.” The fowl retorted.

“Nothing to do with you?” Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh: “Fowl, who is giving you peace? In this generation, the outcome of the final battle doesn’t matter, you will be able to breathe easier. But if I actually win, then, needless to say, your nest will no longer need to hide in this place, void of the sun! If you wish to see the light again and not being glared at by the villainous heaven, shouldn’t you pay a great price and help me?!”

“That’s why I want one hundred crystals. This is already nice enough of me, it is out of consideration for our past, fruitful cooperation. Otherwise, I would be asking for two hundred!” Li Qiye uttered coldly.

The fowl pondered for a moment before shaking its head: “Crow, we’re happy that you want to go all out and pray for your success but we can’t help you. Who knows how this battle will end? This is selfish but if the boundless years of darkness will come, we need the ration to live through them. This treasury is our lives so we can only give you twenty, not more. We’re not capable of anything else.”

There was no room for negotiation judging by the fowl’s att.i.tude.
