"Transcendence into sainthood is a matter for the future, for now in Jiangdong, you are still the most influential person. Some things can only be accomplished with the help of the Grand Airspace Officer." Su Chengyu said.
"You may speak." Qin Siyuan gave a slight nod.
After taking a sip of tea, Su Chengyu said, "I want to annihilate the Black Dragon Commerce Association in Jiangdong."
Qin Siyuan and Qin Muge were both surprised at his words. Qin Siyuan replied after a moment of silence, "With your current strength, killing Zhao Tai’an wouldn’t be a difficult task. You wouldn’t need my assistance."
"No! I’m not simply looking to kill Zhao Tai’an, I’m intending to eradicate all influence the Black Dragon Commerce Association holds in Jiangdong. The Black Dragon Commerce Association is like a malignant tumor, wreaking havoc in every corner. Killing Zhao Tai’an would provide no solution."
Hearing this, Qin Siyuan began to see Su Chengyu differently. He was well aware of the actions of the Black Dragon Commerce Association.
However, the complex relationships within the Black Dragon Commerce Association made it difficult to make a substantial impact, and he was forced to turn a blind eye.
"Brother Su Cheng, do you understand what you’re saying?" Qin Muge exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you think I’m overestimating myself?" Su Chengyu laughed.
"No, no, I’m just thinking that it’s a difficult task. The Black Dragon Commerce Association in Jiangdong is the weakest, but it could cause chain reactions by its thrashing. This is a monumental task."
Qin Muge also held no good impressions for the Black Dragon Commerce Association, but she knew nobody could take it down.
"If it wasn’t a large task, I could handle it myself and wouldn’t need to seek the help of the Grand Airspace Officer," Su Chengyu laughed.
Qin Siyuan sat silently, only speaking after taking a sip from his teacup: "Why should I help you? The Black Dragon Commerce Association has a wide reach. If something goes wrong, I could lose my official hat as the Grand Airspace Officer. I have no reason to take such a risk! I admire your desire to be a hero and implement justice, but I will not do you this favor."
"Don’t interrupt this, you’re still too young to understand the intricacies of the situation. One must weigh the circumstances; one cannot act rashly based solely on impulsive passion, or else they will only harm themselves in the end."
Qin Siyuan sternly admonished Qin Muge and continued to address Su Chengyu: "You helped me today, thus I owe you a favor, which I’ll repay in the future! I will withdraw the arrest warrant Dragon Soul has placed on you, but that’s as far as I’ll go."
"I won’t let the Grand Airspace Officer make a move without gaining anything in return, everybody seeks their interests, I understand this! I also have a benefit to offer, which can help the Grand Airspace Officer establish an enormous achievement which can serve as a condition for the Grand Airspace Officer to help me."
Qin Siyuan’s refusal to help was within Su Chengyu’s expectations. He had the courage to negotiate, so naturally he had some chips as backups.
A man like Qin Siyuan, without a tangible benefit, can certainly help with minor things, but for matters as large as this one, the exchange must worth his while.
"Oh? I’d like to hear more." Qin Siyuan was indeed interested.
Su Chengyu immediately disclosed part of the Pasca Group’s Judgment Plan to Qin Siyuan. However, he didn’t mention that this involved the Pasca Group, temporarily hiding some key information.
Upon hearing this, both Qin Siyuan and Qin Muge were taken aback.
"There’s actually such a thing happening! Dad, this is extremely serious! If it succeeds, it will cause a massive loss to Xia Country, and if this incident happens in Jiangdong, you will be held accountable as well." Qin Muge said urgently.
Qin Siyuan fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.
Seeing that Qin Siyuan was moved, Su Chengyu continued, "As long as the Grand Airspace Officer agrees to cooperate, I’ll give you more detailed clues, enough to credit you with a huge achievement."
Qin Siyuan closed his eyes to think, while Su Chengyu leisurely drank his tea, only Qin Muge was left in anxiety.
After a while, Qin Siyuan finally opened his eyes and said, "I can help you! But you must agree to another condition of mine."
"Please speak, Grand Airspace Officer." Su Chengyu’s heart leaped for joy, this matter was basically settled!
"Join my Jiangdong Dragon Soul, and represent my group in the upcoming Dragon Soul Conference." Said Qin Siyuan.
"What is the Dragon Soul Conference?" Su Chengyu asked in confusion.
Qin Muge by his side immediately explained the importance of the Dragon Soul Conference. Su Chengyu understood it in an instant.
"I can attend the Dragon Soul Conference on your behalf, but I don’t want to join the Dragon Soul. I don’t like being restrained or controlled." Su Chengyu stated.
"To participate in the Dragon Soul Conference, one must be part of the Dragon Soul. This is a mandatory requirement! I can promise, you’re only representing my group in the fight. Afterward, I won’t impose any restrictions on you, and you can choose to quit your position within the Dragon Soul afterwards. If you don’t agree to this condition, we can end our negotiation now."
Su Chengyu cursed Qin Siyuan inwardly, this old fox was trying to take as much advantage from him as he could before agreeing to help.
Su Chengyu was not a dilly-dallier. The eradication of the Black Dragon Commerce Association was of utmost importance to him, and he was willing to make concessions in other areas.
Qin Siyuan stood up and shook hands with Su Chengyu, forming an alliance.
To show his sincerity, Su Chengyu disclosed to Qin Siyuan the Judgment Plan from the Pasca Group, the relationship with the Western Blood Clan, and the specific location of the biological laboratory.
"So it’s the Pasca Group! These foreign thieves with a relentless desire to ruin Xia Country, being a citizen of Xia Country and the Grand Airspace Officer of Dragon Soul, I can’t sit by and do nothing. I am determined to thwart their vicious plan."
Qin Siyuan seemed genuinely sincere in his statement. When it comes to true national interests, his patriotic feelings never wavered!
"When are you planning to make your move on the Black Dragon Commerce Association?" Qin Siyuan asked.
"In three days! I need to kill Zhao Tai’an first, which requires a bit of assistance from the Grand Airspace Officer. Of course, you won’t have to make a move personally."
Su Chengyu and Qin Siyuan settled on a specific action plan. Qin Siyuan knew from their thorough and detailed plan that Su Chengyu’s intention to eliminate the Black Dragon Commerce Association wasn’t conceived on a whim but was premeditated.
By the time their discussion ended, it was already evening. Qin Siyuan gave Su Chengyu a new Dragon Soul identification and his file.
"Yang Junmo?" Surprised, Su Chengyu looked at the name on the ID and the file.
"Isn’t this the name you came up with? Since you’ve used this name in front of the Jiangbei Dragon Soul members, it would be more convenient for you to use this identity in the Dragon Soul Conference."
Qin Siyuan explained.
Su Chengyu nodded, and after collecting his ID and file, he took his leave. Qin Muge personally escorted Su Chengyu to the car park.
As Qin Muge walked alongside Su Chengyu, she would steal glances at him from time to time. She pursed her lips, her hands behind her back, behaving like a shy little girl.
"Should I continue to call you brother Su Cheng, or should I call you brother Junmo?" Qin Muge asked.
"As you wish." Su Chengyu replied indifferently.
"I’d rather call you brother Su Cheng then, since it’s your real name."
Su Chengyu smiled faintly, thinking to himself, ’This innocent girl, she doesn’t even know Su Cheng isn’t my real name either!’
