Chapter 1118: Meeting (1/2)

To be honest, Jiang Fei was playing a risky game being so harsh to Bennette Straz. It was a gamble. He was betting on the different factions within the Unknowns’ organization fighting among themselves and on Bennette Straz’s faction then becoming more eager to establish cooperation with him.

Otherwise, if they continued to drag this, Bella would be in trouble. At that time, it would become difficult to protect her life. Jiang Fei was also afraid that everything he had would be reduced to ashes, including himself.

After Jiang Fei ended the communication, he went to accompany Bella until she fell asleep. Then, he quietly left her room.

Since the battle was a short one, it was only noon. While Jiang Fei was thinking about the next action plan, Han Tianyu came to look for him.

“Brother Yu, what’s up?” Jiang Fei asked.

“Well, the Martial Arts Alliance and the military have agreed to meet, but they’re hoping that you can attend the meeting as well,” Han Tianyu said.

“What for?” Jiang Fei frowned. This was a matter between the military and the Martial Arts Alliance. Why did they want him there?

“‘Cause they couldn’t put their pride aside.” Han Tianyu sighed.

As it turned out, the Martial Arts Alliance could not resist the temptation of the compensation of materials by the military. However, even though they wanted to get the materials, they did not want to be stained with the notoriety of colluding with the military, so they came up with a solution.

Even though they were going to discuss with the military, the Martial Arts Alliance claimed that they were actually attending Jiang Fei’s banquet. It just so happened that the military would be there as well.

“What the f*ck? Why did they do that?” After listening to Han Tianyu’s explanation, Jiang Fei did not know whether to cry or laugh.

Even though these martial arts Sects were not exactly out of resources, they certainly were not living luxuriously. The martial artists were so accustomed to superiority that they could never put their pride aside and cooperate with the country in exchange for materials. Was there any other way they could do it?

They did not want to have any contact with ordinary people, and their dignity did not allow them to go out and commit robbery. The Sects had always been self-sufficient. However, if they were threatened, suppressed by Supreme Androids, for example, they would soon consume almost everything they had. So, even though the Martial Arts Alliance was not totally out of resources now, they were certainly having a tough time.

But even now, the arrogant martial artists still could not put their pride aside. They still wanted to maintain their so-called superiority. Jiang Fei was annoyed and amused at the same time.

“Fine, since they had to do this, I’ll help them.” Jiang Fei shrugged. He was not a true martial artist. Therefore, Jiang Fei, who would bear the “crime” of colluding with the country, was not burdened by it.

Moreover, Jiang Fei was willing to be the middleman this time because he wanted the Martial Arts Alliance to owe him. Currently, Bella was still very weak. He could not put all his hope on Bennette Straz. If they could not get the Core of Life in three days, then Jiang Fei could only rely on the power of the Martial Arts Alliance to fight through this.

It was precisely because he knew how strong the Martial Arts Alliance was that Jiang Fei repeatedly did favors for them. After all, even though the martial artists were arrogant, their innate pride also ensured that they would always return favors.

“The meeting is tomorrow at noon, on the outskirts of the Emperor’s Capital.” Han Tianyu told Jiang Fei relevant information about the meeting.
