Chapter 208 I'm just saying this, I'm not a 2-for-1 person!
Chapter 208 I'm a person who means what I say!
On the third day, in a remote mountain outside the border.
With the help of clandestine channels, Huang Boren successfully contacted Edmund, the leader of the debt collectors.
To Huang Boren's surprise, Edmund, the leader of the debt collectors, actually came in person.
"Edmund, I've long admired your name. I never expected you to come in person." Huang Boren smiled and extended his hand, trying to ease the tension.
Edmund gave him a cold look and made no move to shake hands.
To avoid embarrassment, a young man in a yellow shirt standing next to Edmund stepped forward with a grin and quickly shook hands with the man in yellow.
"Hello, hello! I've heard so much about you!"
Edmund looked at Huang Boren and said calmly, "Mr. Huang, you didn't come to see me just for small talk, did you?"
Huang Boren withdrew his hand from the young man's, still maintaining his smile.
“Mr. Edmund is indeed a man of few words. Well then, I’ll be frank—we at All-Knowing are very interested in the Dragon Ball you have. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?”
Edmund frowned, not admitting that he possessed the Dragon Balls, but instead feigning confusion, saying, "Dragon Balls? What Dragon Balls? I have no idea what you're talking about."
Huang Boren was already mentally prepared for Edmund to feign ignorance.
After all, the attack on Behemoth had to be carried out secretly. The theft of Behemoth's Dragon Balls was a major event, causing quite a stir in the media.
Since it's currently unclear who did Behemoth's crime, let's just leave it at that.
But if the debt collectors themselves come forward and say that I did it, wouldn't that be a blatant slap in their face?
Doesn't Behemoth have any pride? To save face, he had no choice but to send people to beat you up.
This is similar to a certain terrorist organization back then. The United States was too lazy to send its elite forces to cause trouble for them, but when they publicly sent planes to crash into two towers, the United States couldn't sit still anymore.
They directly dispatched elite troops to kill the leader of the organization.
Huang Boren then took out his phone from his pocket and played the audio recording he had previously listened to.
Edmund's face darkened the moment he heard the voice; he immediately recognized it as one of his men's voices!
But he quickly regained his composure and said coldly, "So what if we attacked Behemoth's people? That doesn't prove that the Dragon Balls are in our hands."
Huang Boren smiled, his tone remaining calm.
"Mr. Edmund, we're all intelligent people, why beat around the bush? Since we've found this audio recording, we can certainly find more evidence. The Dragon Balls might just be a precious trophy to you."
But for us at All-Knowing, it's crucial. We can provide you with the resources and technical support you need, and even help you fight Behemoth. This deal isn't a loss for you.”
Edmund was silent for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Huang Bo was right; the Dragon Ball wasn't very useful to them, but if they could exchange it for Na Du Tong's resources and support, it would undoubtedly be a worthwhile deal.
However, he did not want to easily succumb to Nadutong's threats.
"Mr. Huang, what makes you think I would hand over the Dragon Balls to you?" Edmund asked coldly. "Is it based on this audio recording you have? Or is it based on the All-Knowing Network behind you?"
The smile on Huang Boren's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of coldness.
“Mr. Edmund, I advise you to reconsider. If you are unwilling to cooperate, we do not mind exposing your location to Behemoth. You should know very well how deep Behemoth’s hatred for you is. Once they find out that you attacked their swordsmen, I think you know better than I do what will happen.”
Edmund's face turned ashen instantly, his fists clenched, clearly enraged by Huang Boren's words.
He stared intently at Huang Boren, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, but in the end he loosened his fist and said coldly.
"Good, very good. Mr. Huang, you win. The Dragon Balls are yours, but I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?" Huang Boren asked.
"In addition to the resources and technical support you promised, I also need your guarantee that Nadutong will never join forces with Behemoth against us," Edmund said in a deep voice.
Huang Boren immediately nodded: "I can agree to this condition. You can ask around; I, Huang Boren, have always valued my reputation and I'm a man of my word!"
"As long as you're willing to trade Dragon Balls with Nadoto, I, Huang Boren, will never join forces with Behemoth to fight you!"
Edmund took a deep breath and finally nodded: "Alright, I will hand over the Dragon Balls to you. But if you dare to play any tricks, I guarantee that you will all pay the price."
Huang Boren did not take Edmund's threat to heart.
"Don't worry, we at Nadutong always keep our word."
……
The next day, at the headquarters of NaDuTong.
Zhao Fangxu looked at the last Dragon Ball on the table and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Bo Ren, well done." Zhao Fangxu patted Huang Bo Ren on the shoulder. "With this last Dragon Ball, we've finally collected all seven! Our plan can finally begin."
Huang Boren humbly said, "It's all thanks to Chairman Zhao's excellent guidance. I've only made a tiny, insignificant contribution."
Zhao Fangxu was very satisfied with what Huang Boren said and nodded in agreement.
"Hmm, not bad, keep up the good work. I'll be retiring in a few years, and then Na Du Tong will still need your help." After saying that, Zhao Fangxu picked up the Dragon Ball on the table. "I'll send the last Dragon Ball over first. We don't have much time. The higher-ups need to use the Dragon Ball today."
No one is sure when the people from Interstellar Universe Corporation will arrive, and no one can say for sure whether summoning the dragon will actually get them a spaceship to the headquarters of the Cosmic Alliance. So the sooner the better!
If Shenlong can't provide them with spaceships, they should quickly revise their plans.
……
After boarding the private jet, Zhao Fangxu quickly arrived at his final destination—a secret base located deep in the desert.
China does not intend to tell anyone about its plan to use Shenlong to demand a spaceship.
According to the unspoken rules of interstellar universe law, whoever arrives at the headquarters of the Cosmic Alliance first will have the opportunity to communicate with the interstellar universe company!
If handled well, this could be an opportunity to rapidly enhance national strength.
It's obvious that those in power aren't prepared to share this opportunity with them; why share when they can have it all to themselves?
Therefore, in order to conceal the fluctuations caused by the appearance of the dragon, the location for summoning the dragon was not only set in the desert, but also placed deep underground in the base.
