54 End of the Great Auction (1/2)
There were many gasps of surprises that rang throughout the surrounding area. No one was expecting such a turn of events, how could they? After all, many of the most powerful faction leaders were supposed to be in location 1. Not many would bother with any of the other locations since locations 2 to 5 have the least qualitative blueprints for sale and capable buyers. Meng Wu was now in direct conflict with one of the Vesper's elders, Wu San Gui.
(WSG) ”Father? You mean to say that Meng Wu is your actual father?” Wu San Gui said with a hint of fear in his voice.
(MW) ”Yea, scared now?” Meng Wu said with a sly smile.
(WSG) ”Humph, what is there to be afraid of? You are just the leader of some lesser faction.”
(MW) ”While that may be true, you should know that I don't particularly agree with you disciplining this boy. Hitting him may not harm him in any way, but the disgrace he has to face afterwards is something that is very shameful. I won't stand down just because you are from Vesper.”
(WSG) ”What does this boy have to do with you?”
(MW) ”This matter doesn't concern you, well, not yet at least.”
(WSG) ”Curses. Why is my luck so bad.”
(MW) ”What will it be, Wu San Gui? I doubt you can risk elevating this matter any higher than it already has gotten. Don't you think?”
(WSG) ”Since it is you, I suppose I could make an exception. Let's go.” Wu San Gui turned to leave from an embarrassing predicament.
(GS) ”But...”
(WSG) ”Shut it Gou Shi, I still need to talk to you after this is all over.” He said with an ice cold temperament. Gou Shi could only nod in response.
(BM) ”Thanks for your help elder Meng Wu.”
(MW) ”I'm only ranked 88 in the elder rankings I can barely be considered an elder. Hahaha.”
(BM) ”Right, well, your help in deescalating the matter is much appreciated.”
(MW) ”How can I refuse what elder Guan Yu, and elder Yue Fei propose? I mean, an alliance with the Forever Pirates and the Men of Meng will be the stuff of legends.”
(MY) ”This is why you came?” Meng Yi asked.
(MW) ”That is the reason my son. Where is your brother by the way? I heard he was also involved with the Vesper gang just yesterday.”
(BM) ”Your eldest son is just in another location trying to try and find a few decent blueprints that we can use.”
(MW) ”Is that so? Well, I got your message loud and clear. I'd be pretty impressed if you actually managed to get the Forever Pirated to agree to something so against their beliefs.”
(BM) ”Not to worry, I believe we will be getting our response soon. Are you busy at the moment elder Meng Wu?”
(MW) ”Not terribly so, why?”
(BM) ”I was just wondering if you could help us in our blueprint sales.”
(MW) ”Oh? In what way are you talking about?”
(BM) ”This won't take very long. Just a little announcement to the crowd that is gathered here just staring at us.”
(MW) ”Hoo, you are quite bold to ask for a favor like that when we met just moments earlier. I like that you have quite the guts.”
(BM) ”Would you like to take a blueprint as compensation? How about this Mark 1 tank?”
(MW) ”I actually was in the market looking for a tank. Finding one is incredibly tough. Most of my top brass has been trying to get one for a century now, but so far no dice. This will be a nice present for their loyalty towards me. Alright I'll do it.” He said as he took the blueprint from Baron's hands.
