Chapter 729: Chapter 311: Mysterious Process Chapter 729: Chapter 311: Mysterious Process Yan Fei adopted an aggressive stance, cornering the Australian representative until they had no choice but to request a recess to report back home and seek instructions. Yan Fei snorted coldly, turned to look at the Canadian and Japanese negotiation representatives, and said, “What about you? Do you also object to the amount of compensation?”

The market size of Canada is almost the same as that of Australia, so their compensation amount is the same, which is ten billion US dollars. Because Japan has a sufficiently large market, their compensation amount is much higher, a total of fifty billion US dollars.

Originally, as per their plan, they weren't prepared to compensate Dream Island at all, and even if, under reluctant circumstances, they had to compensate, they were determined to keep the amount below one billion US dollars. Who would have thought that the compensation amount demanded by Yan Fei would be so high, and moreover, Yan Fei wouldn't budge an inch, even resorting to blatant threats. They were all scared of Yan Fei's missile attacks, but they didn't have the authority to make on-the-spot decisions, nor did they dare to take on that responsibility; their only choice was to report back home.

Thus, the Canadian and Japanese negotiation representatives also said, “We also request a temporary recess to make contact with our homeland.”

Yan Fei made an example out of Australia to scare the monkey by killing the chicken, and he had immediately frightened neighboring Japan and Canada. Since Yan Fei dared attack Sydney, he could also strike Tokyo and Toronto–cities that are crucial to their nations. Should they suffer missile attacks, their countries would be thrown into chaos. Therefore, they didn't dare to refute the compensation amount and instead chose to relay Yan Fei's demands back to their superiors at home to decide.

Seeing that everyone was requesting a temporary recess, Yan Fei said, “If that's the case, let's take a one-hour recess. If I do not receive a satisfactory compensation amount in one hour, this negotiation session will end, and I will no longer concern myself with your affairs with the Pirate Organization.”

Yan Fei's subtext was very clear: if he did not get the compensation amount he demanded, the negotiations would end, and the Pirate Organization's missile attacks on the three countries would resume. Although he claimed to be unrelated to the Pirate Organization, everybody understood that the supposed Pirate Organization was a sham, and that Yan Fei was the real culprit behind the missile attacks–the one with the real power to decide.

Unfortunately, these three countries had no way to counter Yan Fei's stealth missile attacks, and since Yan Fei was impervious to persuasion, they could not catch him on any misstep. Their previously successful negotiation tactics all failed, leaving them with no choice but to submit to Yan Fei's threats. They dared not retaliate nor expose Yan Fei's true identity, which was exceedingly awkward for them.

After the recess, the negotiators from the three countries immediately went to the rest room arranged by Yan Fei and used the satellite phone to contact their homeland, communicating the predicaments they had encountered. With Yan Fei giving them only an hour's recess, these countries were pressed for time and couldn't bother with secrecy as they reported back from the room provided by Yan Fei.

Ever since the negotiations started, the higher-ups of the three countries had been gathering to stay informed about the latest developments in the talks and to formulate corresponding countermeasures based on changes in the negotiations. However, they had not anticipated that their representatives would begin seeking help from home so soon into the talks, as they encountered the thorny issue of compensation from the get-go.

All three countries were economically developed and could afford the compensation amount if they were willing to tighten their belts. If paying this money would result in the end of the negotiations and secure peace, they were naturally willing to do so. But the formal negotiations had not yet begun, and they had no idea what conditions Yan Fei might propose after the official talks, which left them in a quandary, fearing that accepting this condition would lead to Yan Fei making more exorbitant demands. Nevertheless, before the designated recess was over, they reached a consensus to agree to Yan Fei's proposed compensation amount.

So, when the recess ended and the negotiations resumed, representatives from the three countries all agreed to compensate Dream Technology–Japan would pay fifty billion US dollars, while Australia and Canada would each pay ten billion US dollars.

Once they confirmed the amount to compensate Dream Technology, Yan Fei announced the official start of the negotiations. Thus, for at least the next eight days, the Pirate Organization would not launch missile attacks on the homelands of those three countries.

As they entered the formal negotiations, the Japanese representative said, “Mr. Yan Fei, we now wish to hear the peace conditions from the other side.”

But Yan Fei did not directly state the peace conditions; instead, he asked, “You have lost this war, are you willing to admit this outcome?”

The representatives of the three countries hesitated for a moment, then nodded together and said, “Yes, we are the losers of this war.”

The United Fleet formed by the three countries was annihilated, while Dream Island only lost an Artificial Whale, and soon after, a second Artificial Whale appeared. Though the three nations did not want to accept defeat, in the face of powerful Dream Island, they could not blatantly lie and insist they had not lost.

Yan Fei said, “Since you all admit to being the losers of the war, then, to have a chance at peace, you must pay a sufficient price. The first price is…”
