Chapter 736: 362: Brotherhood Alliance?

Yan Mo’s first sentence trampled on Suo Lun’s bottom line.

And while he spoke, his gaze unabashedly coveted, lingering over Princess Zhi Yan’s face and figure.

Suo Lun felt a surge of anger, but his eyes remained ice-cold and calm.

As for Zhi Yan, her otherworldly beauty was serene, as if the conversation concerned someone else entirely.

Yan Mo, of course, didn’t truly hope to taste Zhi Yan’s charms—he merely sought to provoke Suo Lun into losing his reason.

Suo Lun forced himself to calm down immediately, sitting cross-legged opposite Yan Mo, staring at his half-brother.

This face, seventy percent similar to his own, was still incredibly handsome and determined, yet the gaze was wild and unrestrained. Clad in the most luxurious robes, yet his chest was bare, his bronze skin tough as rock.

Even seated, he was half a head taller than Suo Lun, exuding a sharp, oppressive aura.

Seeing Suo Lun’s icy stare, Yan Mo chuckled, "Suo Lun, although I am very skilled in martial arts, I must admit I’m probably still inferior to your wife, Princess Zhi Yan. Facing such disgrace from me, you wouldn’t be contemplating murder, now would you?"

Of course, Suo Lun wished he could tear Yan Mo to shreds, but that was impossible!

They were participants in the highest-level negotiations, each only accompanied by one woman.

The Rock Pirates are a group that values honor greatly. If Suo Lun killed Yan Mo here, then the subsequent ten thousand pirates would tear Suo Lun’s fleet of a few thousand men to pieces.

Not to mention that Yan Mo currently held thousands of hostages, including Ye Jingyu, Suo Lun’s trusted samurai, who was escorting the Gold Coin.

...

Yan Mo’s wife, Haidei’er, was only seventeen this year.

Her skin was much fairer than that of other women from the Hai Family, and her eyes were a brown hue, the beauty of her face was exquisite, carrying an air of innocence and allure.

Despite her young age, her body was already mature, a girl of exceptionally curvaceous figure.

Moreover, her glance was constantly filled with shyness and curiosity.

When Suo Lun appeared, her beautiful eyes unabashedly fell upon his handsome face, revealing seven parts shyness and three parts seduction, which was very bold.

"What do you think, my brother is much more handsome than I am, right?" Yan Mo said.

Faced with a celestial beauty like Princess Zhi Yan, ordinary women would feel inferior and ashamed, but Haidei’er was not like this. Instead, she proudly raised her chin, as if to compete with Zhi Yan in beauty.

Yan Mo continued to let his fiery gaze wander over Princess Zhi Yan’s face and figure, clicking his tongue, "Suo Lun, you are truly blessed with women; perhaps there’s no one more beautiful than your wife in the world. It’s a pity that you’re too uptight to share her with me."

"Stop wasting time, Yan Mo," Suo Lun said. "First, you anger me, then you try to cloud my mind. Speak plainly, what do you want?"

Yan Mo opened his mouth and bit on the leg of his young wife before patting her and saying, "She didn’t warm up to the battle. Maybe next time."

Instantly, Haidei’er pouted and gently lay on Yan Mo’s leg.

"Suo Lun, my dear brother, several months ago I had no choice but to push you into an abyss. Believe it or not, it pained me deeply. I apologize to you here," said Yan Mo, still seated, but bowing towards Suo Lun.

Suo Lun did not respond.

Yan Mo continued, "Last time the queen mother personally came to the Thunder Archipelago to ask for my help. I thought you were dead, and the Suo family was doomed. So, I sent five thousand Rock Pirates to join the Gui Xingfu Allied Army to take advantage of the situation and attack your Chaos Stone Island. I apologize to you once more here. But you have to believe me, if indeed the Suo family had been destroyed, I would have saved the queen mother, Yan Xue’er, Suo Ningbing, and the others. You should trust that I have the ability and the heart to do so."

Suo Lun nodded slightly.

Yan Mo said, "Do you know the principles by which I operate? First, everything for the benefit of the Rock people, everything for the ideals I hold in my heart. Second, I cannot be forced by anyone, nobody can bend my pride."

Suo Lun did not respond and kept staring at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo went on, "I had not expected that you not only survived but also triumphed completely, defeating the Gui Xingfu Allied Army, annihilating Zhi Wei’s forces, scaring away the Tuling Tuo Army of two hundred thousand, and leaving Zhi Li with a face full of dust. Your momentum in the Rage Wave Kingdom is like the sun at high noon, unstoppable. Impressive, my brother. You’re truly deserving, with the same blood as me running through your veins."

Suo Lun said, "Get to the point, what do you want?"

Yan Mo sighed, "In the Rage Wave Kingdom, there is no one who can stop you now, nobody who can dull your edge; you are unrivaled on land. But a pity... that is on land, and at sea, the king is me!"

As he said this, Yan Mo’s face grew cold, and his large hand suddenly grabbed, causing Haidei’er’s delicate body to tremble.

"Suo Lun, my dear brother, no matter how imposing you are on land, I still lord over the seas," Yan Mo said coldly. "If I wish, I can cut off any of your trade fleets, making it impossible for you to fish a single Gold Coin from the sea, and I believe I have already proven this point."

Suo Lun replied coldly, "Get to the point, what do you want?"

Yan Mo said, "How much are you making now a month? One hundred thirty thousand? One hundred fifty thousand Gold Coins? More than sixty percent comes from sea trade, doesn’t it? What allowed you to annihilate the Gui Xingfu Allied Army, destroy the Zhi Wei forces, and repel the Tuling Tuo Army? What was it? Money, astronomical sums of money and supplies. You’ve run Tianshui City like a well-oiled machine, with its fifty thousand population, twenty-five thousand of them engaged in military activities, whether building castles or transporting military supplies, yet the livelihoods in Tianshui City haven’t suffered the slightest impact, but instead have prospered like never before, united as never before. And what is that due to? Still money!"
