V4C222 – Once Bitten, Twice Shy (1/2)

“Boss Liu, the Dark Tribe just sent a signal that their leader wants to negotiate with the ruler of the Bright Flame Clan. What do you say…” Xu Qingwei said.

“Negotiations?” I was stunned but still said, “Alright. Send an autonomous ship outside to bring that God of Darkness over to me!”

I believed that the other party would certainly not accept such a harsh request from me! After all, letting the head of the enemy enter my territory for negotiations was somewhat too excessive!

Not to mention the degree of danger, even if I guarantee his safety, he would still be losing a lot of face doing this! As the matter stood, I will gain the upper hand in the negotiations!

However, beyond my expectations, the other party actually agreed to my request! This made me feel very confused. What did the other party even want? First, he ran over to launch an attack on us, and once the attack was done, he went ahead and agreed to enter the enemy territory for negotiations, alone.

This just didn’t conform to common sense.

But my surprise had just begun. When the God of Darkness stepped down from the ship and greeted me, I was stunned! Liu Kesheng! It was actually Liu Kesheng!

For a moment, I really didn’t know what to say! Should I say that the world was too small, or was I to say that we were fated? We could even bump into each other all the way here?

“Long time no see, Liu Lei!” Liu Kesheng acted as if he already knew he would see me, so without acting surprised, he greeted me normally.

“You already knew I was here?” I asked while looking at Liu Kesheng with a strange feeling.

“Not already. I just found out not too long ago!” Liu Kesheng said.

“Speak your purpose then – are you looking for revenge, or is there something else?” I sighed. Truthfully speaking, this brat, Liu Kesheng, has always been causing trouble for me, so I was already somewhat tired of dealing with him.

“Revenge?” Liu Kesheng smiled in self-mockery, “Liu Lei, please don’t taunt me as I don’t want to talk about the matters of the past again. Let alone, there was never any bitter hatred between us!”

“Eh?” After I listened to him, I was startled and looked at Liu Kesheng inconceivably. What’s this fellow up to? Looking at his appearance, he wouldn’t be here to settle our disputes, right? “What did you say? Say that again!”

“Liu Lei, as the leader of the Dark Tribe, I want to discuss the future development of the Bright Flame World with you. I wonder if we can sit down and talk about it?” Liu Kesheng said calmly.

Liu Kesheng was invited to the Temple by me. This was the first time I was discussing matters with someone in the temple. I had never thought that the honor of being first would go to Liu Kesheng!

“I had never thought that we will meet under such circumstances!” Liu Kesheng sighed and said emotionally.

“Neither had I,” I said lightly. I didn’t have any favorable impression of Liu Kesheng, but I couldn’t say that I hated him either. After all, he just liked Zhao Yanyan and there was nothing wrong with that, only his methods were too violent.

Most of the time, in this world, the winner is crowned king while the loser becomes the bandit! If not for my strength being greater than his own, the one being oppressed every time would have been me! Because of that, every time we clashed, because my strength was greater, the one to suffer was Liu Kesheng.

It couldn’t be said who was right and who was wrong, most of the time, the winner will be the one universally acclaimed as the right one.
