95 An Unsuccessful Trade (2/2)

(BM) ”Not to worry, I already know what to do if this doesn't play out like I hope it will.” Baron said with a stern attitude.

Biao Gong arranged everything and within half a week, 5 powerful strategists were delivered to Baron. Meanwhile, Baron had called for a temporary ceasefire with the few armies that had encroached on his land. The reason for the temporary truce, as he told Li Mu, Bai Qi, and Wang Yi was that he had wanted to trade William Bridges and one of the Sun Alliance elder's best in exchange for Meng Yi.

Such an offer was clearly rejected at first, but after seeing that Baron did indeed have William, as well as one of the elders from the Sun Alliance, they were ready to listen. All of the separate armies were gathered up in one place where the transfer of prisoners would go down.

This would be between Baron and Bai Qi, the one who kidnapped Meng Yi in the first place. They met up each with several hundred elite bodyguards behind them. They stopped when they were both about 20 feet from each other, with all the others standing behind these two men and their personal armies.

By Bai Qi's side was Li Mu, both of them were co-leaders of the third most powerful faction in the Chinese community, the Yellow Wang faction. There was also a Sun Alliance elder with them. On the other side was Baron accompanied by Meng Tian, Meng Yi's older brother. Both sides pushed a few tied up strategists in front of them.

(BM) ”Alright Bai Qi, hand over Meng Yi and the others first, then we will hand over William Bridges as well as the elder from the Sun Alliance.” Baron shouted out.

(BQ) ”Humph, you've got quite the spunk kid. To think you had the gall to actually get the Bair fighters to hand over some hostages to you. You boy, are getting quite cocky if you think you can always get what you want. All's fair in love and war, isn't that what they say?” Bai Qi said as he nudged Meng Yi and the others to make their way to Baron. He had a cruel and sinister smile on his face as he watched them slowly make their way to Baron. Suddenly, he snapped his fingers and multiple gunshots were heard from Bai Qi's side. Meng YI and the others dropped like flies, they were dead.

(LM) ”Bai Qi, you fool, what have you done? We had a deal with not only this kid, but also to the elders of the Sun Alliance.” Li Mu said with urgency in his eyes. He looked at the Sun elder that was beside him.

(SE) ”What the hell was that for Bai Qi? You better have a good reason for breaking our deal.” THe Sun elder practically shouted at Bai Qi.

(BQ) ”Screw the deal, I didn't like it anyway. Don't worry I doubt they can do anything to retaliate. If they did to us what we did to them, then they will effectively make both of our factions their enemies.” Bai Qi said with a smug smile on his face.

(MT) ”Meng Yi!” Meng Tian said as he saw his brother die in front of him. He was near the point of being hysterical.

(BM) ”Not to worry, I suspected as much. Guards! Bring me the other 3.” Baron ordered.

”Yes sir,” A guard said. Three more prisoners were brought out in full view of everyone.

(BM) ”Tell my commando squad leaders to cut each one of our prisoners 1,000 times while not dealing so much damage that they die. Then load a bullet into their skull after the cuts.”

”You got it boss,”
