Chapter 649: Chapter 649 – Negotiation Failed
Chapter 649: Negotiation Failed
“You reckless girl, look! You nearly got yourself into big trouble . ”
The white-bearded old man watched Happy and the others enter the headquarters of Towering Palace before he turned his head around and tapped his granddaughter’s head repeatedly . It was very painful, and she tried to dodge his finger, but she did not dare say anything . Clearly, she was terrified by what happened earlier .
“What? Not saying anything now?”
When the white-bearded old man saw that his granddaughter had decided to behave, his tone became stern, and he continued lecturing her . “You know how good he is now?”
The granddaughter said nothing .
When the players by the side saw the white-bearded old man lecture the girl, all their questions were answered, and smiles blossomed on their faces .
“Don’t go assuming that you can show off just because you have some skill . Did you see what happened? He didn’t even want to bother with you or fight against you for this . Don’t be so rash and reckless next time . ”
“Got it…” The teenage girl hung her head while looking dejected and listless .
The onlookers found that quite amusing . Once they learned of the details from the players nearby, all of them, regardless of whether they were Chinese or foreigners, laughed nonstop .
But when they thought about it, they realized that Happy had possessed a clear grasp of his surroundings and even dodged a high-tier hidden weapon attack with ease, so quite a number of foreign players who had looked down on Happy stopped regarding him with scorn .
The players remained outside Towering Palace’s headquarters and began making guesses as to how the negotiations between Towering Palace and Happy would end .
Would they maintain their peace, turn against each other completely, or would something unexpected like just now happen again?
*****
The atmosphere in the living room of Towering Place’ headquarters was frozen .
Once Happy sat down, he went straight to the point and asked Clear Music where she stood . He did not give Towering Palace a chance to think or drag things out .
“Brother Happy, we’re angry about the matter at Sky Demon Sect as well . The foreign players’ act of attacking the top clan in China is an open provocation to Chinese martial artists!”

“So, Tower Master Music, you do agree with my idea of chasing out all foreign organizations, yes?” Happy did not wait for her to finish speaking before he interrupted her, and he effectively threw Clear Music’s plans of changing the direction of the conversation . “Then, I believe that the popular opinion that Towering Palace is the mastermind behind this is just a rumor . ”
Clear Music was stunned silent .
Happy spoke quickly, and his firm words as well as burning eyes put pressure on her . It was the first time she sensed it since their conversation .
“But Young Swordsman Happy, I don’t think there is a need to chase away all foreign powers . ”
“Of course there is!” Happy answered without hesitation . “Each foreign organization has come here with ambitions . Perhaps we only have one Three Dragons Guild now, but soon, more Three Dragons Guilds will appear, or perhaps more organizations like them will be manipulated by other powers into becoming their weapons .
“To prevent misunderstandings, I believe that there is a need to chase away all foreign organizations . As for the merchants, we can accept them and keep them . ”
“But Young Swordsman Happy, you should know that Towering Palace has major business deals with all the foreign organizations . If we do this, we’ll suffer a lot of losses, which puts me in a very troublesome situation now . ”
Clear Music could sense that she had gotten caught in Happy’s tempo . She sucked in a deep breath and tactfully removed herself from it .
Musical Note and Hai Dongqing instantly became nervous upon hearing her last words . They stared at Happy to not miss even a single negative emotional change on his face .
It was clear that Clear Music was trying to increase her own bargaining chips .
If Happy continued making requests of her, he would appear to be trying to make them do something impossible .
Happy changed his tone of speaking and said indifferently, “Based on what I understand, you have quite a lot of resources in the coastal area, and your resource points are rather rich as well . You gain a lot more profit compared to us .
“You do not want to give up on your business deals with the foreign organizations, but instead, you should use another method to cooperate with them . I believe that they will not easily give up as well . Tower Master Music, do not give up on the many things that will come to you for temporary gain . ”

“What do you mean?” Clear Music’s expression darkened before she smiled sweetly . “Young Swordsman Happy, are you giving me a reminder or threatening me?”
Quite a number of Towering Palace elders in the living room frowned and broke out into cold sweat .
“Tower Master Music, what on earth are you thinking about?” Happy intentionally put on a surprised face while looking at Clear Music . “I came here in hopes that we will reach a common view and have an easier time in driving out those foreign organizations . I was thinking about using Towering Palace’s influence to have the foreign powers understand how overwhelming the odds are against them and retreat .
“I don’t recall there being any direct conflict of interest between Mu Clan and Towering Palace . Besides, if Mu Clan wanted to attack a malicious foreign power like Three Dragons Guild, there is absolutely no need for us to ask for your help . This is something that I am still very confident in .
“As for threatening? Tower Master Music, I believe that your thoughts have diverged from mine . ”
Clear Music said nothing, but her face was pale .
“Forget it . ” Happy suddenly rose up from his seat . He cast a glance at Clear Music from high above and said resolutely, “Looks like you’re very reluctant to give up on the benefits you currently have . Oh well, if that’s the case, Mu Clan will have to personally take action and come to the coastal area to get rid of all the foreign organizations . Farewell . ”
Happy’s final sentence shocked the sisters and Hai Dongqing so much that cold sweat trailed down their faces .
Mu Clan was about to enter the coastal areas!
Happy’s real goal was not to get rid of the foreign organizations! He was certain that Towering Palace would not easily let go of the major source of money, so he was going to enter the cities in the coastal area like a king!
‘Is this? Does Mu Clan want to break the situation of the four top-class sects ruling over the Chinese server? Right before our plans are set in motion?’
“Wait!”
The various Towering Palace elders instantly became nervous .
There were countless elites in Mu Clan, and they were the strongest among the four top-class sects in the Chinese server . There was no need to talk about Happy’s personal strength either .
In the past, he had forced Class One Hall to retreat three hundred and ten miles with his own strength . He had even made them give up on the resources in a few provinces . Once he entered the coastal area, Towering Palace’s resources would definitely diminish .
Clear Music could not continue remaining calm .
“Young Master Happy, I believe that it will be best if we make things clear regarding this matter,” she said in a cold voice .
“Am I not making myself clear?” Happy stopped at the entrance and laughed without turning his head around . “Since you’re not willing to support my cause, Mu Clan will have to exact revenge on its own . At that time, it will be inevitable that we will enter the coastal area . Tower Master Music, don’t worry, once the foreign organizations are all gone, Mu Clan will leave the coastal area . ”
When Clear Music and Musical Note heard that, their faces became very unpleasant .
Hai Dongqing’s expression was very strange .
The elders gritted their teeth .
‘As if we’d believe you .
‘If you continue staying here and refuse to leave by stating that you haven’t gotten rid of all foreign organizations, you’ll definitely permeate the coastal area . ’
All of them cursed Mu Clan for having too large of an appetite .
But they did not know that Clear Music had long since planned to enter the center of China . In fact, she was already prepared to work together with Class One Hall to tear down Chivalry Sect and suppress Mu Clan .
Happy had just noticed it and decided to counterattack!
Since Towering Palace intended to fight against Mu Clan as well as Chivalry Sect during his fight against One Emperor at Mount Tai, Happy decided to light up the fuse beforehand and turn against Towering Palace .
There were still more than twenty days left .
Towering Palace had yet to grow overwhelmingly strong, so Mu Clan had enough time to end a large-scale sect war before he needed to leave!
