You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 933 (Confrontation)

"War!" Bao Ci also stood up and shouted. Having lost his son and his mount, he couldn't swallow this grudge. Since you all want to fight so badly, then bring it on. Would Aquapolis still be afraid?

Kong Feicheng didn't expect Pi Liang Jun and Bao Ci to be so resolute, directly uttering words about starting a fight. This made it difficult for others to step down. He had just expressed an attitude, not intending to actually fight. After all, the star cannons were gone now, losing this powerful defensive force, and it would be challenging to deal with the situation.

After all, there were more than just these two Overlords on the Sapphire Continent. If a few more came, it would become a problem.

Changhen and Tai He, hearing the firm attitudes of Pi Liang Jun and Bao Ci, had even worse expressions on their faces. They were considering a problem.

Should they fight or not? Since the other party's attitude was so strong, if they backed down now, wouldn't it make them appear afraid of Aquapolis?

But thinking about the star cannons outside, Changhen and Tai He also had some concerns. This was not a joke. Even an Overlord would fear the star cannons a bit.

The atmosphere on the scene was very tense, even causing the air to become quiet. Kong Feicheng had his own worries, and Changhen also had his concerns. Both sides didn't really want to fight, but if no one provided a way out, then they would have to fight.

If it did come to a real fight, Aquapolis would definitely be at a disadvantage. After all, the identities of Changhen and Tai He were there. If they called other Overlords to help, how could Aquapolis withstand it, especially without the star cannons? As long as the star cannons were there, they wouldn't be afraid at all, and their current attitude could be even more firm.

Both sides continued to stalemate, with a clear intention of starting a fight at the slightest disagreement.

At this moment, Bao Yuyu suddenly appeared, looking at the various Overlords and slightly bowing. Then she spoke gently, "Elders, please calm down. This whole thing is a misunderstanding. If a fight breaks out, it will be a loss for both sides. Harmony is precious."

With Bao Yuyu offering this way out, the atmosphere finally relaxed a bit. At least, it wasn't a situation where they would fight at the drop of a hat.

"Overlord Changhen, Aquapolis indeed encountered the Furnace of Annihilation. Most of the people in Aquapolis know about it. We have no need to deceive you with such matters. Accidents happen during battles and are unavoidable. We express condolences for those who died in this disaster," Bao Yuyu spoke words that were quite reasonable, making Changhen and Tai He feel somewhat comfortable. She was much better at speaking than the previous three.

Bao Ci was quite puzzled. When did his daughter become so eloquent? He had never seen Yuyu being so brave before. She used to be more like a delicate young lady.

Bao Yuyu was, of course, not that kind of person. She was taught by Qi Xuewen.

In Qi Xuewen's heart, her position in the Bao family was still too low. To make a difference, she needed to do something that would be helpful in the future. Moreover, it wasn't the time for a war now.

Qi Xuewen also knew about the star cannons. Aquapolis was not an opponent now. Once it was captured, his status as a son-in-law of the Bao family would be completely gone.

Now he hadn't gained any benefits, except for a woman.

After hearing what Bao Yuyu said, Changhen spoke in a deep voice, "Condolences? How can we mourn so many lost souls? The coastal areas' residents were all swallowed up. Are condolences enough?"

Bao Yuyu's role was already done, so she didn't participate further.

Kong Feicheng naturally understood, speaking in a low voice, "Changhen, although this natural disaster was an accident, it was ultimately caused by Aquapolis, so we won't shirk responsibility. We can discuss the reconstruction work and other matters."

Pi Liang Jun and Bao Ci also seemed to wake up. Indeed, they couldn't go to war now; it was very unfavourable for them.

Changhen and Tai He also understood the pros and cons. Since the other party was giving face, it could be talked about.

After all, they came here today to seek justice.

"Alright, let's discuss this matter properly," Changhen said as he stood up.

Kong Feicheng nodded and escorted Changhen and Tai He out. Today's matter was considered resolved.

As for the subsequent negotiations, they would plan accordingly.

After Changhen and Tai He emerged from the sea, they returned with their people. The outcome was quite satisfactory; at least, it made Aquapolis bow its head. The next step would be to discuss compensation.

In the meeting hall, Bao Ci shouted, "Yuyu, come out."

Bao Yuyu walked in from the doorway and respectfully said, "Father."

"What just happened?" Bao Ci asked in a low voice.

Bao Yuyu pursed her lips, seeming reluctant to speak.

"Speak!"

"Father, it's what my husband taught me to say." Bao Yuyu had to say it. Her husband had explicitly told her not to say she came up with it. After all, her husband was a low-key person, doing good deeds without seeking credit. Having such a husband was indeed fortunate.

"Taught by Qi Xuewen?"

"Yes."

"Bring him in!" Bao Ci said in a low tone.

Qi Xuewen's figure slowly walked in, respectfully greeting, "Greetings, Father, and the two family heads."

Bao Ci looked at his son-in-law. If it weren't for his daughter's liking, how could he possibly marry such a person?

"Did you instruct Yuyu to say that?" Bao Ci asked coldly.

"Yes, Father."

"Bold!" Bao Ci shouted angrily, even slamming the table.

Qi Xuewen remained calm, showing no signs of panic.

On the other hand, Bao Yuyu was anxious. "Father, what my husband did wasn't wrong."

"Not wrong? What about the face of our Aquapolis? Isn't this showing weakness in front of those two guys?"

At this moment, Kong Feicheng chuckled, "Brother Bao, let's first hear what your son-in-law thinks."

"Hmph! Acting clever!" Bao Ci snorted coldly, picking up the tea and finishing it in one gulp.

"Qi Xuewen, tell us why you did this," Kong Feicheng asked calmly.

Encouraged by a glance from Bao Yuyu, Qi Xuewen looked at the three Overlord figures and said, "Because the current Aquapolis is not ready for war."

Bang!

Bao Ci directly shattered the table. "Presumptuous! How could you know the strength of our Aquapolis!"

Kong Feicheng and Pi Liang Jun's expressions weren't great either. This was undermining their prestige and boosting others' morale.

Bao Yuyu was also shocked. How could her husband say such things? He shouldn't speak ill of Aquapolis, no matter what.

Qi Xuewen continued, "If the star cannons were still available, I wouldn't say this. Aquapolis fears the number of their Overlord figures, and they fear our star cannons. If a war breaks out, Aquapolis will become history, maybe even a tourist attraction."

"Today, they came to test the waters, and the situation was dire just now. I had no choice but to let Yuyu come out and offer a way out. Father, two family heads, it's a fact that we no longer have the star cannons."

As Qi Xuewen spoke, the faces of the three Overlord figures did not look good. While it was indeed a fact, the delivery of the message was unpleasant.
